Chelsea’s leaky defense could be a catalyst for West Ham’s talisman being included in this week’s FPL tips.
Jarrod Bowen has notched 16 goals in 32 appearances, with six assists and 11 big chances created. He has begun to close in on Dmitri Payet as one of the best FPL points haulers in West Ham’s history.

Chris Wood vs Sheffield United, £4.8m
Chris Wood, an old school striker, has 12 goals and one assist this season. He has been key in Nottingham Forest’s escape from relegation – but can he keep it up?
Nottingham play against rock bottom Sheffield United, who will most likely leak goals. Chris Wood is one of the more prolific strikers, so it is a good week to draft him into your team.
A total 114 points this season, he has also provided 19 bonus points.

Best FPL captain for Gameweek 36
MightyTips finish off their FPL gameweek 36 tips by selecting a captain best suited for the upcoming games.
As you pick, you can check out the Premier League predictions on MightyTips to help make your choice.
Captain - Martin Odegaard
Odegaard seems to be one of the best choices considering how crucial the upcoming game is for the Gunners. His two goals and two assists in his last ten games have been phenomenal, but he has also created the most chances out of any Arsenal player.
On the ICT (Influence, Creativity and Threat Index) he has a score of 287.0 – ranking 5th out of 370 players.
Vice Captain - Kevin De Bruyne
Despite a return from injury, De Bruyne has shown his class, and will need to step yet again to help City to another league title. His total points of 82 is impressive as he has been out for the majority of the season.
De Bruyne has won all four of the last games he has started, and has not lost a game since gameweek 15.
