Fantasy Premier League tips: 5 players to sign in Gameweek 22

Updated: 17/11/2024

I'd like to start with an apology. I was away in Gameweek 21, leaving you in the hands of i Sports News Editor – Evan Bartlett: an FPL manager not even in the top-300 of the i sport readers league.

This will not happen again.

In order to reconcile I would like to offer the following surefire tips that should see you catapult up your own mini league and cancel out any decisions my temporary replacement may have forced you into…

Aleksandr Mitrovic, Fulham

Fulham have conceded 47 goals in just 21 games this season – an abysmal record.

But the good news for fans of the Cottagers is that they take on the league's second leakiest defence in Gameweek 22: Burnley.

Striker Aleksandr Mitrovic has provided a glimmer of light for the Craven Cottage loyal – bullying defences with his physical and relentless style of play.

Recruit the attacker for Fulham's match against Burnley and keep him in the side for their match with Spurs who he scored against on the first day of the season.

Cost: £6.6m Points: 87

Danny Ings, Southampton

Since joining from Liverpool Danny Ings has featured in just 13 of Southampton's Premier League fixtures this season and has completed the full 90 minutes on only four occasions.

Despite this the English striker has managed seven Premier League goals – four more than any of his teammates.

With tricky fixtures against Man City and Chelsea now behind them, the Saints can look forward to fixtures against Leicester, Everton, Crystal Palace, Burnley and Cardiff. Don't be surprised if Ings adds to his tally in the next five Gameweeks.

Cost: £5.6m Points: 67

Sergio Aguero, Man City

Before he picked up an injury in Gameweek 13 Sergio Aguero was a must-own Fantasy Premier League player, scoring eight goals in 12 appearances.

Since then he has been in and out of a City side that has stuttered in previously unthinkable fashion.

Now, however, Aguero appears to be back to full fitness and, after their match-up with league leaders Liverpool, City embark on a kind run of matches against Wolves, Huddersfield and Newcastle.

Bring the world-class striker back into your side for those winnable fixtures.

Cost: £11.2m Points: 92

Alisson, Liverpool

Touted by many as the signing of the season, Alisson has earned his fair-share of admirers since signing from Roma.

Blessed with stunning shot-stopping skills and confident with the ball at his feet, the Brazilian has also been a hit with FPL managers, racking up 100 points so far.

Once Liverpool's fixture with Man City is out of the way consider recruiting the Brazilian ahead of fixtures against Brighton, Crystal Palace, Leicester, West Ham and Bournemouth.

Cost: £5.9m Points: 100

Sol Bamba, Cardiff City

Cardiff were completely overwhelmed by Tottenham's potent attack in Gameweek 21, succumbing to a deserved 3-0 defeat.

In Gameweeks 22 and 23 the Bluebirds should fare better as they take on the league's two lowest scoring teams in Huddersfield and Newcastle.

Take advantage of these timid attacks by recruiting defender Sol Bamba. The Ivorian has played all but one of Cardiff's Premier League fixtures this season and has chipped in with two goals and an assist in the process.

Cost: £4.5m Points: 66
