Today, we're going to have a look at the top 5 best players to transfer in this gameweek. So, let's jump into it !
SON HUENG-MIN - 9.1M - 11.4%
If you’re looking for a midfielder to buy, I think Son is a number 1 pick to look at. Son is listed as a midfielder but during GW4, he played upfront as a central striker due to the poor form of Richarlison where he bagged up a hattrick.
Son was struggling playing in the left wing at the very start of the season. However, with Richarlison not showing his quality as a striker, Son is showing very good signs to be perfectly fit to play as a central striker. Richarlison travelled late back from international duty and isn’t expected to start in GW5. Son could also be in penalties as well.
He is only owned by 11.4% of the FPL managers and hence can be a very good differential going into the gameweek 5.

GABRIEL JESUS - 7.9M - 2.5%
We've seen Gabriel Jesus score a goal in his just 15 minutes of game time since returning back from injury. He is Arsenal’s first choice number 9 currently. With some good run of fixtures like Everton, Spurs and Bournemouth, there’s going to be goals in all of these games and we can expect Jesus to be heavily involved in it.
Hence, Gabriel Jesus can be a super differential with only 2.5% ownership among all the FPL managers worldwide.

CARLTON MORRIS - 5.5M - 1.6%
It is announced that the double gameweek will take place for both Luton Town and Burnley in GW7. Out of these two teams, who I am most interested in is Morris. He just looks like the right player to pick.
We have seen him getting a goal and an assist in his three games played with an xG of 0.99 and xA 0.61. In addition, he is definitely a penalty taker for Luton Town.
You can rotate him in and out of your team depending on the fixtures but the next three run of fixtures are amazing with Fulham and Wolves struggling with defence and a double gameweek in GW7 against Everton and Burnley.

AWONIYI - 6.6M - 5.2%
With only three starts for Nottingham Forest, Awoniyi managed to get three goals and an assist with an expected goal (xG) of 1.71 and expected assist (xA) of 0.72.
He is getting attacking returns in every single game of this season even while playing with top teams in the premier league. Going into his performances since the start of the season, 6.6m seems like a decent price to get him in.

FABIAN SCHAR - 5.0M - 2.5%
Newcastle defence has been disappointing so far but we have to consider that they had horrible fixtures from the start of the season. Now, it seems like the horrible fixtures are disappearing and many managers who have realised have gone for the likes of Trippier and Isak as a Newcastle asset.
With only ownership of 2.5% and Botman facing injury, Schar could be a decent differential pick and cheaper as compared to other Newcastle defenders like Trippier for 6.5m.
He is a defender of centre back who generates xG and xA throughout the season. He is capable of getting bonus points as well. So, he has got a decent amount of attacking threat too.
