  • Managers who need a half-century of points must have a captain different from the 6ft 4in Norwegian and some smart transfers
  • For those not looking for differentials, target players from Spurs, City and Arsenal as they have either easier or must-win games

The last ‘doubler’ of the season is likely to see several FPL managers using their Bench Boost chip while a differential might be Newcastle’s Alexander Isak as captain.

Title race, Champions League spots, European qualification and survival from relegation all still to play for in finale so expect teams to field strong XIs.
