Morgan Gibbs-White was the Player of the Week as he scored the 7th hat trick of the Premier League season in the 4-1 win against Burnley. First hat trick in the EPL since Joao Pedro's on Match 3rd. Burnley has been absolutely horrendous this season and he should have a tougher time against Sunderland this week.

Ollie Watkins scored a brace in the 4-3 win against Sunderland and was the best value pick of the week. That makes 3 goals in 3 games for Watkins going into a tough matchup against Fulham. He appears to be returning to form and may be a decent value pick again this week.
Cherki stays red hot and continues to impress while simultaneously pissing off Pep with at least 1 boneheaded move every game. Super dynamic with the ball and a ton of fun to watch. He was our top-ranked creator in Europe last year and he has consistently delivered when he gets the starting nod. City has trash Burnley coming up — with City firmly in the title race, expect a Cherki-led bloodbath on Weds.

The quietly consistent Marcus Tavernier continues to impress with a great all-around performance in the 2-1 win over Newcastle. Not only did he score but he also got the GC on the key cross to Truffert for the go-ahead goal in the 85th minute.

Pedro Porro continues to be one of the most dynamic offensive threats in the EPL from the back line. He finally scored his first goal of the season and continued to be a dominant creating and ball progressing force for Tottenham. He is red hot averaging 24.3 fppg over his last 3 games and has an absolutely horrendous Wolves defense as his matchup on Saturday. He and Van Hecke have prime Travis Kelce / Tre McBride value as they continue to put up significantly better numbers than any of the other DFs.

Morgan Rogers lands his 2nd Top 10 in 3 weeks after finishing as the top overall player in Gameweek 31. He's been teeing off when playing against objectively weaker teams but runs into a decent Fulham squad on Saturday. Let's see if he can step up again as Villa looks to lock up a Champions League spot.
Cody Gakpo & Dango Ouattara tie for 7th this week. Gakpo got credit for 2 GCs with the interception/ball recovery and the assist to Salah. He put good wood on target with 3 SoT but couldn't find the net. Expect him to be featured much more heavily with the injury to Etikite. Ouatarra also had 3 SoT but didn't have any goal involvement; he also put up 5 shot creations and 8 impact passes/carries. I have no idea how Brentford didn't score in this one.
The pass from Cody and the finish from Mo 😮💨

Xavi Simons starts for the first time in 5 games and comes in at 9th with 27 points. He created Pedro Porro's goal and put one in himself. De Zerbi has already pumped him up in the press and it appears Simons will be the primary attacking/creating force in Tottenham's offense going forward. He was a top 5 value pick this week and gets a great matchup on Saturday vs Wolves. I'm expecting fireworks and another top 10 finish for Simons as Tottenham looks to battle their way out of a relegation spot.

Tied at 9th we have Enzo Fernandez and Habib Diarra. Enzo came back from suspension and put on a central mid masterclass in the loss against Man U. He did a little bit of everything as he took 3 shots, had 7 shot creations, and had 10 impact passes (2nd most this week behind Van Hecke). Enzo has been super consistent for Chelsea as they face a tough matchup in Brighton on Tuesday. Unfortunately for Diarra his great performance was overshadowed by his 95th minute miss. He's played well but this one was brutal.
