As we head into Gameweek 14, the fixture landscape presents a handful of standout players who combine form, opportunity and reliability.

Whether you are chasing rank or protecting a good position, these five options offer the strongest blend of upside and security for the week ahead.

Bruno Fernandes

Bruno looks like the best player to own this week, and arguably the most reliable captain as well. West Ham were so poor last weekend that even Liverpool managed to beat them comfortably.

The Hammers sit 19th in the league for expected goals conceded, which sets up perfectly for someone like Bruno, who has multiple avenues to points. He is on penalties, takes set pieces, and is generally excellent for bonus points and defensive contributions.

Fresh off an 11-pointer, the momentum is with him.

Bukayo Saka

Bukayo Saka remains one of the most dependable assets in Fantasy Premier League. He is a genuine set-and-forget pick, offering penalties, decent underlying data and consistent involvement in Arsenal’s best attacking moments.

What helps Saka’s appeal further is his bonus point potential, which ranks among the better players in the league.

Jean Philippe Mateta

Jean Philippe Mateta is one of the form forwards in the Premier League right now. He now faces a Burnley side ranked bottom for expected goals conceded, making this one of the best striker matchups of the Gameweek.

He should also see a further boost in minutes with Sarr out, and the fact that he is on penalties adds another layer of appeal.

Jurrien Timber

Arsenal are overwhelming favourites for a clean sheet according to the bookmakers, and Jurrien Timber stands out as the premium defensive option.

He offers a rare combination of attacking threat and defensive stability, and no defender in the league has exceeded his expected goal involvement this season. He is one of the highest-ceiling defenders for GW14.

Daniel Muñoz

Daniel Muñoz completes the list thanks to both fixture and form. Burnley have generated the lowest expected goals in the league, meaning Palace have a very strong chance of a clean sheet.

Add to that Palace’s run of three clean sheets in their last four matches, and Muñoz becomes a standout. He is second only to Timber for xGi among defenders, making him an explosive option on both ends of the pitch.
