FPL Best Picks: Team of the Week for Gameweek 3 22/23

Mo Salah (13.0, Liverpool)

He has been ever-present in our FPL TOTW. He created a hugely impressive 8 big chances in addition to the big chance he missed against Palace, despite playing with 10 men on Monday night.

He tends to get into more goalscoring positions when Firmino starts CF, as compared to Nunez. Given Nunez’s suspension as well, we’d expect Salah to do well against a struggling United side and against whom Salah did exceedingly well last season.

Heung-Min Son (11.9, Tottenham Hotpur, C)

Makes a debut in our FPL TOTW and does so immediately as captain. The impressive winger looked threatening without grabbing a goal on opening day and had the indignity of an early sub-off when trailing against Chelsea due to being nullified by Reece James.

He’ll line up against a defensively suspect Wolves side in the early kick-off with a point to prove and as such, gets the armband for our team.

James Maddison (8.0, Leicester City)

He also makes our TOTW against a Saints side who’ve been defensively questionable since game one. He’s had returns in both games so far this season and looks primed to continue that run this week.

Gabriel Martinelli (6.3, Arsenal)

He rounds up our midfield picks. He’s got a goal in each game so far this season and he’s up against the promoted Bournemouth. I’m backing him to continue his goalscoring form this weekend, too.
