Fantasy Premier League managers will be looking forward to a relatively relaxed Saturday 1.30 p.m. GMT deadline for Gameweek 23.

No games on Friday night and no early Saturday kick-offs allow for plenty of time for last-minute changes.

There is a double Gameweek on the horizon for two teams, while there are some of the best attacks in the league playing against some of the worst defenses which should make for a high-scoring week.

The most interesting game this weekend might be Bournemouth against Nottingham Forest—two of the most admired teams in the league who both have different but highly effective approaches to the game.

In FPL terms, it is the game of Justin Kluivert versus Matz Sels.

Can Bournemouth Break Down Forest?

Kluivert’s hat-trick versus Newcastle last week sees him the most transferred-in player of the week so far.

This despite Bournemouth’s next two games being against the teams with two of the best defensive records in the league—Nottingham Forest and Liverpool.

This doesn’t always mean an in-form attack will not continue to fire, and Bournemouth’s attack certainly seems to be in-form having scored nine goals in its last four games, including four against Newcastle.

Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo are the obvious choices if sticking with Bournemouth players through their tougher games against Forest and Liverpool, before they face an easier opponent in Southampton in Gameweek 25.

However, Dango Ouattara has started each game since both Evanilson and Enes Ünal have been out injured and has the best underlying attacking numbers per 90 of any Bournemouth player, slightly ahead of Kluivert even after his hat-trick, offering both a creative and scoring threat.

Good Attacks Versus Bad Defenses

Tottenham Hotspur’s game against Leicester City is one of the best example of a few games this week that pit a strong attacking team against a team with a poor defensive record.

Spurs’ defense itself isn’t the best, so there might even be a case for picking a Leicester midfielder or forward too, but it should be worth turning to a Tottenham player this week.

Dejan Kulusevski has the second most shot-creating actions in the league after Cole Palmer, but Son Heung-min remains above him in terms of the quality of chances created.

There is not much data to go off for Richarlison this season, but he historically produces good underlying attacking numbers and could be worth a punt in the absence of Dominic Solanke.

Beyond this, Newcastle forward Alexander Isak is the second most obvious attacking pick this week (see below for the top one).

Newcastle face a Southampton team that has the worst defensive numbers in the league, and it would be a surprise to see the likes of Isak and Anthony Gordon not register a decent score this week.

Arsenal (Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli, and Kai Havertz) are another team that should get plenty of chances when they face Wolves, while Aston Villa (Ollie Watkins, Youri Tielemans and Morgan Rogers) will fancy their chances against West Ham.

Liverpool Face Ipswich Before Double Gameweek.

The team with the most goals scored and fewest conceded in the Premier League facing the team with the third-fewest scored and third-most conceded seems like it should be the go-to game for guaranteed points in defence and attack this week.

Ipswich has the second-lowest xG in the league and second-highest xG against, so the underlying data pretty much matches the goals.

On top of this, Liverpool has a double gameweek in Gameweek 24 as it makes up the postponed fixture against Everton, so making sure your team is stocked with Liverpool players seems like a no-brainer.

The bigger challenge might be to find players who’ll play in all three of these upcoming games against Ipswich in Gameweek 23, and Bournemouth and Everton in Gameweek 24.

Alisson (goalkeeper), Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander Arnold will likely be the most reliable options in defence, while Ibrahima Konaté has been eased back into the team so far following a recent injury and may now be ready for two games per week.

Mohamed Salah is the obvious go-to player for attacking minutes and potential high scoring, even though he’s been off the boil a bit of late.

Many FPL managers are opting for Luis Diaz, who is the most transferred-in of Liverpool’s players so far this week, while others are going for Cody Gakpo.

Gakpo and Diaz have previously been rotated, sometimes with each other, but Diogo Jota’s injury troubles have meant they’ve started plenty of Premier League games together lately.

Darwin Nunez starting up front and playing the full 90 minutes in the midweek Champions League match suggests Gakpo and Diaz will continue to start in the league.

An injury to Curtis Jones could mean guaranteed game time for Dominik Szoboszlai, who could be an alternative, cheaper midfield option.

When Szoboszlai starts, he regularly does so in the most advanced midfield position, almost alongside the striker in attack.

If he is rested at any point, it will likely be via second-half swaps with Harvey Elliott, who assisted a goal in Liverpool’s late win at Bournemouth in the previous league game.
