<p>Following a historic treble-winning season, Manchester City were determined not to rest on their laurels.</p>
<p>They spent more than £210m on transfers, with Croatian centre-back Josko Gvardiol the marquee acquisition.</p>
<p>Having impressed at RB Leipzig and with Croatia on the international stage, Gvardiol&#8217;s first City campaign has seen him predominantly utilised as a left-back.</p>
<p>But it has also been plagued with injuries. Despite this, he&#8217;s been an unused substitute on seven occasions, though in the run-in, Gvardiol has been first among Pep Guardiola&#8217;s selections and repaid the faith in recent outings.</p>
<p>Across his latest three appearances, Gvardiol has netted twice and created another, while the champions have kept two clean sheets.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that six Premier League teams have an extra game remaining. One of them is City, so if you don’t already have three of their players in your squad, now is the time to change that.</p>
<p>Gvardiol, who costs a reasonable £5m, has the highest xGI of any City defender. Only <strong>Kevin De Bruyne (£10.5m) </strong>and<strong> Phil Foden (£8.4m)</strong> are in better FPL form.</p>

<h3><b>Sell: Dominic Solanke</b></h3>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<h4><b>Position: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">FWD</span></h4>
</li>
<li>
<h4><b>Price: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">£7.3m</span></h4>

</li>
</ul>
<p>Dominic Solanke is enjoying his most prolific Premier League campaign. The former Chelsea and Liverpool centre-forward has netted 18 goals across 35 appearances, eight more than the previous four seasons combined.</p>
<p>Solanke has done nothing but do right by his owners this season. In terms of points accumulated, only the equally incredible <strong>Ollie Watkins (£9m)</strong> and the indomitable <strong>Erling Haaland (£14.1m)</strong> have more.</p>
<p>However, this may prove to be the moment to jump off the good ship Solanke, as the one-time England international has blanked in four of his last six Premier League outings.</p>
<p>With Bournemouth visiting a defensively imperious Arsenal side this weekend, expect another shutout.</p>

<h3><b>Captain: Kai Havertz</b></h3>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<h4><b>Position: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">MID</span></h4>
</li>
<li>
<h4><b>Price: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">£7.5m</span></h4>
</li>
<li>
<h4><b>Fixture: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bournemouth (H)</span></h4>
</li>
<li>
<h4><b>FPL teams selected by: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">8%</span></h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p>What a turnaround Kai Havertz is enjoying. If there were a &#8216;comeback player&#8217; award, he&#8217;d be a leading contender.</p>
<p>After registering seven goals across 35 matches for Chelsea last season, the Gunners raised several eyebrows by splashing out £60m to sign him.</p>
<p>The decision continued to be questioned deep into this campaign, with Havertz netting one goal and creating another in his first 12 league appearances.</p>
<p>But something has clicked recently, coinciding with Mikel Arteta deploying the German international as Arsenal&#8217;s &#8216;false nine&#8217;.</p>
<p>Havertz has scored eight goals while creating five more across his last 11 outings. This run includes him only blanking on three occasions while scoring and assisting in four matches.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s the third-most in-form FPL player right now, behind <strong>Cole Palmer (£6.2m) </strong>and<strong> Bruno Fernandes (£8.5m)</strong>, whose Manchester United are away to in-form Crystal Palace this gameweek.</p>
<p>Speaking of Palmer, the Chelsea MVP is an option for the armband; at the time of writing (before the Blues host Tottenham), he&#8217;s scored in his last seven Premier League home games, netting 13 goals in total in this run.</p>
<p>Still, to avoid any risk of advocating a captain who may be injured or unavailable by the weekend, we&#8217;re looking at Havertz to enjoy another productive outing as the Gunners continue their pursuit to end a two-decade championship wait.</p>
