The stats after that are their:

Player transfer suggestions for GW26
Liverpool
The value options of Alexander Arnold, Lovren and Matip all have some uncertainty about them and Gomez is a longer term injury. Robertson or the GK are the best options at the moment. Liverpool have no blanks in the blank weeks of GW31 and GW33. See our doubles and blanks article
Bournemouth (H)
Man Utd (A)
Watford (H)
Everton (A)
Burnley (H)
Wolves
Doherty appears to be back in the frame which is good although his price now is steep with the cheap Jonny provides a reasonable, if inferior, attacking option. Bennett at £4.1m is even cheaper.
Newcastle (H)
Bournemouth (A)
Huddersfield (A)
Cardiff (H)
Chelsea (A)
C Palace
Tomkins is now cheaper at £4.3m than Wan Bissaka but Wan Bissaka has far better bonus potential. The GK situation seems resolved with Guiata seemingly first choice.
West Ham (H)
Leicester (A)
Man Utd (H)
Burnley (A)
Brighton (H)
Man Utd
The defence is definitely on the improving scale. Shaw has better attacking potential than Lindelof but is more injury prone so take your pick there
Fulham (A)
Liverpool (H)
Crystal Palace (A)
Southampton (H)
Arsenal (A)
