5. Savinho (Manchester City) - £6.5million
You really have to include a Manchester City player in your squad for this weekend, if you haven't already. Erling Haaland is the obvious choice, but he has a huge price tag of £15million, so opt for City's new wing-wizard Savinho instead. He looked very impressive on his debut at the weekend before being taken off with an injury at half-time. He is expected to be fit for this weekend's home game against newly promoted Ipswich Town though, and could bag you points for a good value price. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
6. Alexander Isak (Newcastle United) - £8.5million
The Swedish striker is one of the EPL's most potent forwards. He scored 21 league goals last season and has four goals in his last six league games. He started his season with a nice assist in the opening day win over Southampton. The Magpies face an away clash against Bournemouth this Sunday and Eddie Howe's side will look to Isak as the man to score the goals. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
7. Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) - £10million
He is one of the more costly midfielders in FPL at £10million, but you simply can't knock his output. Scored and assisted in the win over Wolves last week and will head into game week two full of confidence as Arsenal take on Aston Villa. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
8. Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace) - £4.5million
Newcastle United are desperate to sign him and have bid up to £65million for the England defender. At the time of speaking, he looks likely to remain a Crystal Palace player heading into the weekend game against West Ham United. Both sides lost on opening day, but the Eagles will have home advantage over the Hammers. At the price, Guehi is a high reward low risk transfer if you need a defender. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
