Round 14 total budget: €79.5M

Formation: 3-5-2

Dean Henderson  (Burnley vs Crystal Palace) – €5.7M

Crystal Palace’s No. 1 goalkeeper, Dean Henderson, continues to establish himself as one of the league’s most reliable shot-stoppers. Palace’s defensive structure allows controlled shots but very few clear-cut chances, giving Henderson frequent opportunities to accumulate save points.

He has produced consistently strong performances for Palace this season and remains a key figure in Palace’s clean-sheet potential, especially against opponents who tend to struggle scoring goals at home such as burnley. With Palace losing just twice on their travels this season, this Round 14 presents a prime chance for Henderson to secure another strong return.

Henderson has a Sofascore rating of 7.17

Daniel Muñoz (Burnley vs Crystal Palace) – €7.7M

Right-back Daniel Muñoz has been one of Palace’s standout performers this season, providing relentless energy, overlapping runs and a constant attacking outlet down the flank. His advanced positioning and high volume of forward contributions give him both defensive and offensive fantasy upside.

Muñoz has consistently delivered impactful performances in recent weeks, offering dangerous crosses and progressing the ball effectively. Against a home team that possesses the lowest goal-tally at home and typically concedes wide overloads, Muñoz looks well-placed to add further returns in this midweek fixture.

Muñoz has a Sofascore rating of 6.99

Jurriën Timber  (Arsenal vs Brentford) – €7.9M

Jurrien Timber continues to be an important piece in Arsenal’s build-up play with his hybrid full-back/inverted role. Comfortable stepping into midfield, he provides calm distribution, ball progression and defensive solidity, features that routinely boost his overall performance rating.

Arsenal’s defensive record remains one of the strongest in the league, and Timber’s positional intelligence makes him a reliable inclusion. With Arsenal heavily favoured in this matchup against London rivals Brentford, Timber could contribute to what looks an ideal clean-sheet opportunity.

Timber has a Sofascore rating of 7.12

Marc Cucurella  (Leeds Utd vs Chelsea) – €8.1M

Marc Cucurella brings tremendous intensity and work rate to Chelsea’s left side. His aggressive defensive style, combined with purposeful overlapping and underlapping runs, makes him a valuable two-way contributor.

He has been one of Chelsea’s more consistent performers in recent weeks and is particularly effective in matches where Chelsea dominate possession. With his ability to create chances from wide areas and contribute heavily to defensive actions, Cucurella has strong potential for both clean-sheet and attacking points in Round 14.

Cucurella has a Sofascore rating of 6.88

Bruno Guimarães (Newcastle Utd vs Tottenham) – €8.7M

Bruno Guimarães remains the heartbeat of the Newcastle midfield and is enjoying a run of form that highlights his all-round influence. His ability to control tempo, break lines with passing and arrive late in attacking positions has made him a regular contributor in goal involvements.

He has consistently delivered high-level displays over the past month, and Newcastle’s fixture against Tottenham offers him another promising platform. With his combination of creativity, defensive contributions and set-piece involvement, Guimarães is a high-value midfield pick for Round 14.

Guimarães has a Sofascore rating of 7.21

3 goals/2 assists

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall  (Bournemouth vs Everton) – €6.0M

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has quickly become an important figure in Everton’s midfield structure following his transfer from Leicester City. His excellent engine, late runs into the penalty area and precision in the final pass have made him a growing attacking threat.

His recent performances reflect increasing confidence, and his contribution in central areas has been pivotal in Everton’s improved attacking rhythm. Dewsbury-Hall’s ability to provide both goals and assists gives him strong appeal for fantasy managers targeting midfield value for Round 14.

Dewsbury-Hall has a Sofascore rating of 7.30

3 goals/2 assists

Eberechi Eze (Arsenal vs Brentford) – €8.6M

Eberechi Eze remains one of Arsenal’s most influential attacking players, operating as the primary creative force and ball-carrier in advanced areas. His set-piece responsibilities and freedom to drift into pockets of space make him a consistent threat in the final third.

Eze has produced a series of high-impact performances recently and is expected to be heavily involved once again against Brentford who have lost five of their six away games to date and who often struggle to contain technical playmakers. He is capable of delivering double-digit hauls and stands out as one of the strongest midfield options of the round.

Eze has a Sofascore rating of 7.23

4 goals/2 assists

Nico Gonzalez  (Fulham vs Manchester City) – €6.1M

Nico González brings directness and flair from wide attacking areas, offering a mix of sharp dribbling, inside-cutting movements and creative passing. His ability to generate chances, combined with a strong work rate, has made him a consistent performer since arriving at Manchester City.

He enters Round 14 in encouraging form and this could well translate into contributing goals and assists in this midweek fixture at Fulham. With a favourable matchup against a defence that struggles against wide overloads, González looks primed to continue his productive run.

Gonzalez has a Sofascore rating of 7.03

1 goal

John McGinn  (Brighton vs Aston Villa) – €6.5M

John McGinn’s importance to Aston Villa extends well beyond statistics, but his fantasy output has been quietly strong thanks to his positional intelligence and late runs into the box. McGinn’s physicality, pressing intensity and leadership have contributed to Villa’s impressive league campaign.

He has delivered a number of robust, consistent performances in recent rounds and faces an opponent this weekend known for conceding midfield space. McGinn’s ability to influence games in multiple phases of play makes him a valuable mid-budget option.

McGinn has a Sofascore rating of 6.88

1 goal/1 assist

João Pedro (Leeds Utd vs Chelsea) – €7.7M

João Pedro continues to show why he is one of Chelsea’s most dangerous attacking outlets. Operating as a versatile forward, he combines sharp movement, elite ball control and strong link-up play. His involvement in penalties further enhances his fantasy appeal.

He has been directly involved in several Chelsea goals in recent weeks and now faces a defence that has struggled significantly with pace and dribbling in central areas. With his ability to both create and finish chances, João Pedro is one of the standout forward selections for Round 14.

Pedro has a Sofascore rating of 7.00

4 goals/3 assists

Danny Welbeck  (Brighton vs Aston Villa) – €6.5M

Danny Welbeck’s revival this season has been one of Brighton’s most notable storylines so far this season. The veteran forward has rediscovered his rhythm, offering intelligent movement between centre-backs and contributing with composed finishing.

He enters Round 14 in strong form and has historically performed well against teams that leave space in transition. Welbeck’s current momentum, combined with Brighton’s favourable unbeaten form at home, makes him a strong budget forward pick capable of delivering another impactful return.

Welbeck has a Sofascore rating of 6.84
