The Premier League manager wheel has been out in full force over the last few weeks, with some new look sides set to grace the stage this weekend.
So, as the battles at the top and bottom of the table hot up, which players in each position will benefit?
Ben Chilwell (£6m)
Predicted Points: 4.4
Ben Chilwell was purchased by Chelsea boss Frank Lampard in the summer of 2020 and in 16 Premier League appearances under him, he produced six attacking returns; two goals and four assists. He was a mainstay of our squads through that period and encouraged to get forward as often as possible.
Lampard’s return to Stamford Bridge can complement Chilwell’s current form which has seen him register a goal, an assist and two clean sheets over the last four gameweeks.
The schedule remains kind for Chelsea, but we do need to be mindful of their blank in Gameweek 32, especially for managers without a Free Hit chip.
James Maddison (£8.3m)
Predicted Points: 7.0
In points per match terms, James Maddison sits in the top 15 of Premier League regulars this season and it’s a metric he’s excelled in throughout his time at Leicester.
While the Foxes have gone through a poor period of form, Brendan Rodgers' departure could spell an upturn in their performances.
Maddison produced double digits for goals and assists last season, and could go on to produce the same in this campaign, currently on nine goals and six assists. A home game against Bournemouth this weekend could be the start, with 15 shots and 16 chances created for Maddison in his last six Premier League games.
Harry Kane (£11.7m)
Predicted Points: 6.3
Despite a challenging season for Spurs, Harry Kane is right on track for his best ever season in FPL.
He’s averaging 6.5 points per game with a projected tally of 247 points at the end of the season, improving on his current best score of 242 in 2020/21. He has 13 attacking returns in 14 since the restart, including four goals in his last three games.
This weekend, Spurs under Cristian Stellini face Brighton. They won the reverse fixture 1-0 at the AMEX Stadium, with Kane scoring the only goal of the game. Kane has nine goals from 13 appearances against the Seagulls and has had 14 shots on goal in his last four Premier League games.
