Fixtures
Dominic Solanke
Bournemouth rank second on the fixture ticker for Gameweek 33. They face a Southampton side who have conceded two or more goals in five of their last six matches. This indicates that they are a team to target offensively and there is one option that could have huge potential this week.
Dominic Solanke (£5.6m) is the focal point of the Bournemouth attack whilst also taking his sides penalties. This gives him an additional route to points. The striker has bagged two returns in his last four matches including a double-digit return. In addition, amongst all players in the last six games he ranks second best for shots in the box (19) and joint fifth for big chances total (five). Solanke has the stats and price-tag to be one of the best budget players for Gameweek 33.
Brighton
Brighton are having an excellent season overall sitting seventh in the Premier League. They have a fixture against Nottingham Forest next up. The promoted side have failed to convince both defensively and offensively this campaign. An example of this is that this season they rank joint third worst for goals conceded (56), third worst for shots in the box conceded (311), joint worst for goals scored (24), the worst for shots in the box (191) and the worst for big chances total (37).
Brighton’s recent form can be reflected in their stats. Defensively, in the last six Gameeweeks compared to every other team they rank joint second best for clean sheets (two), join third best for shots on target conceded (20) and fourth best for big chances conceded (seven). This could indicate that their defensive assets are worth investment. Some of those assets include full-back Pervis Estupinan (£4.8m) and centre-back Lewis Dunk (£4.7m).
In terms of their attack, Brighton have been maintaining some great attacking data as well. In the same six-match period they sit first for attempts on goal (118), first for shot sin the box (75), second for big chances total (19) and first for shots on target. Some of their standout attacking options include midfielders Kaoru Mitoma (£5.6m), Solly March (£5.2m) and Alexis Mac Allister (£5.6m).
Alex Moreno
Aston Villa have been in top form lately and the same can be said for their defensive ability as they have banked four clean sheets in their last six matches. Their clean sheet potential is only bolstered when considering their upcoming opponents. Fulham may be scoring but in the same period as above they rank joint worst for goals scored (four), the worst for shots in the box (32) and the worst for shots on target (14).
Investing in an Aston Villa defender could be hugely beneficial this week. However, finding a defender with attacking threat could be even more rewarding. That player is Alex Moreno (£4.5m). The full-back has collected five returns in his last six matches including two assists.
