<h2 style="text-align: left;">Best FPL Players for Gameweek 21</h2>
<h3><strong><br />
Kieran Trippier (£6.0m) – Newcastle United</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Crystal Palace (a)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Kieran Trippier</strong> is having a phenomenal season, and he sits as the second highest scoring player in the game after <strong>Erling Haaland (£12.2m)</strong>.</p>
<p>He has created 51 chances (first among defenders) with an <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/a-simple-guide-to-opta-stats-for-fpl/">Expected Assists (xA)</a> of 7.11 (first defenders).</p>
<p>Newcastle United have a decent fixture in Gameweek 21 as they take on Crystal Palace. The Eagles have only scored 17 goals (eighteenth) so far with an xG of 20.89 (seventeenth) so have been one of the poorest attacking teams in the league.</p>
<p>Newcastle have been solid at the back, conceding only 11 goals (first) with an xGC of 20.9 (third). They have also kept the most clean sheets with 11.</p>
<p>They are also the second favourites to keep a clean sheet this week at 44%.</p>
<p>Trippier has got plenty of attacking threat, and his underlying numbers show him to be one of the most attacking defenders in the game. He is on corners and directs free kicks also.</p>
<p>The right-back is the highest predicted scoring defender (4.8 points) for Gameweek 21 according to our <strong><a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Points Prediction Tool.</a></strong></p>

<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>Erling Haaland (£12.2m) – Manchester City</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Wolves (H)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Erling Haaland</strong> has blanked for two consecutive games for the first time this season. At the time of writing, he sits on 21 goals and three assists with an xG of 15.34 (first).</p>
<p>Manchester City have a fantastic fixture in Gameweek 21, as they welcome Wolves to the Etihad.</p>
<p>Wolves have been struggling all season, and are well and truly in the relegation battle. They have conceded 27 goals (fourteenth) with an xGC of 26.9 (eighth).</p>
<p>City have scored 46 goals (first) with an xG of 40.37 (first) and will be too strong for the west midlands team in my opinion. They are also the favourites to score 2.5+ goals (56%) according to the bookmakers.</p>
<p>Haaland will be the best option again this week, despite his recent mini-drought. He is too good of a player to stay quiet for long, and plays for the best team in the league, who will likely score the most goals come the end of the season.</p>
<p>The Norwegian is once again the favourite to score at anytime (67%) in Gameweek 21 and our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions"><strong>Points Prediction Tool</strong></a> has him as the highest predicted scoring player overall (8.8 points) for Gameweek 21.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Harry Kane (£11.7m) – Tottenham Hotspur</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Fulham (a)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Harry Kane</strong> has scored 15 goals and made four assists in only 19 league games. He has the second highest xG in the league at 12.81 and has created 35 chances with an xA of 6.58, which is the best among forwards.</p>
<p>Spurs have a decent match in Gameweek 21 from an attacking perspective as they take on Fulham. The Cottagers have conceded 29 goals (seventeenth) and have the worst xGC in the league (40.8).</p>
<p>Tottenham have scored 37 goals (third) with an xG of 34.33 (fifth) so should have more than enough to score here.</p>
<p>Kane has a 53% Goal Involvement so far this season, is the first-choice penalty taker, and is nailed to start. He is capable of hauls against any opposition.</p>
<p>He is also the third favourite to score at anytime in Gameweek 21 at a healthy 44%.</p>
<p>The England forward's stats and output have been fantastic, and he is having the best season of his career to date.</p>
<p>Also, our <strong><a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Points Prediction Tool</a> </strong>has him as the second highest predicted scoring player overall (8.6 points) for Gameweek 21.</p>
<div id="attachment_52064" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-52064" class="size-full wp-image-52064" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Harry-Kane-Stats-1.jpg" alt="Harry Kane Stats. best captains gameweek 21" width="798" height="646" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Ivan Toney (£7.5m) – Brentford</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Leeds United (a)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ivan Toney</strong> is another one having his best ever season. He has already surpassed last season's tally of 12 goals.</p>
<p>The forward has 13 goals and three assists, and is the third highest scoring forward in the game at only £7.5m. He has been absolutely great value.</p>
<p>Brentford have a decent fixture in Gameweek 21 as they take on Leeds United. The Whites have conceded 33 goals (eighteenth) with an xGC of 35.4 (nineteenth). They are very leaky at the back, and their defensive stats do not bode well for them.</p>
<p>The Bees however have been great going forward. Thomas Frank’s team have scored 32 goals (seventh) with an xG of 32.88 (eighth).</p>
<p>Toney has been the most influential player in his team by a long stretch. He has scored 59% of his team's goals when he has been on the pitch, which is the highest in the league. He is also nailed to start and on penalties.</p>
<p>The England international has another good fixture this week to add to his attacking returns.</p>
<p>Our <strong><a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Points Prediction Tool</a> </strong>has him as the third highest predicted scoring forward (5.3 points) for Gameweek 21 and he is also at 41% to score at anytime according to the bookmakers.</p>
<div id="attachment_52065" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-52065" class="size-full wp-image-52065" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Ivan-Toney-Stats.jpg" alt="Ivan Toney Stats. fpl tips gameweek 21" width="798" height="648" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Bukayo Saka (£7.9m) – Arsenal </strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Manchester United (H)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Bukayo Saka</strong> is having a great season, as are Arsenal<strong>.</strong> He has six goals and eight assists. He has an xG of 4.57, and has also created 39 chances with an xA of 3.57. His stats have been amongst the best in the league.</p>
<p>The Gunners have a tough game on paper, as they welcome bitter rivals Manchester United to the Emirates. However, this Arsenal team is the best we have seen in a long time, and they will be strong favourites to win this one. In fact, they are now the favourites to win the league and the stats back this up too.</p>
<p>They have scored 42 goals (second) with an xG of 35.58 (third). Only Manchester City have scored more goals than them, and they sit eight points clear at the top of the table.</p>
<p>Saka’s underlying numbers and output have been great this campaign, and he will get plenty more attacking returns in this side over the season.</p>
<p>He is also the club’s penalty taker and is nailed to start. The England man is one of the first names on Mikel Arteta’s team sheet, and he doesn’t really have any competition for his spot.</p>
<p>The North London club are actually the third favourites in Gameweek 21 to score 2.5+ goals (27%) also.</p>
