Target Liverpool, Brentford & Bournemouth - the FPL talking point

Liverpool's fixtures are favourable and they seem to have turned a bit of a corner following a good win away at Sunderland. Virgil van Dijk (£5.9m) would be my defender of choice, but if money is tight then go for the cheaper Ibrahima Konate (£5.4m).

There are plenty of options in attacking positions with midfielders Mohamed Salah (£14m), Dominik Szoboszlai (£6.7m) and Florian Wirtz (£8.4m) all viable. They vary massively budget-wise, so depending on how much you have to spend will dictate who you can go for.

Striker Hugo Ekitike (£8.9m) has been disappointing of late, but I am still backing him to come good with this fixture run. He has 10 goals and two assists in 17 starts this season, and will be looking to build on those numbers in the coming weeks.

Former Everton midfielder Leon Osman, who was a guest on the podcast this week, has included Wirtz in his team.

"Liverpool are playing better now. Salah is playing better. I reluctantly have a Liverpool player in my team because they are playing better," he said.

"It's not allowed in my family mini-league. I've gone with Florian Wirtz. He's been involved in goals and assists for Liverpool.

"He's been a little more reliable than Mo Salah this season, which is weird to say."
