NOTES

• In goal, I’m backing Sol Brynn. Middlesbrough look organised defensively and the fixtures line up nicely. It feels like the straightforward call this week.
• My first defender is Taylor Harwood-Bellis. Two clean sheets sit firmly in play and he always carries a bit of goal threat. He can pick up bonus too. Alongside him, Jake Cooper offers a similar profile – strong clean-sheet potential and reliable for steady returns – which rounds out the defence.
• Midfield looks the strongest area of my squad. Oliver Norwood brings consistency. He ticks over and rarely lets you down. Hayden Hackney has the fixtures to push forward and get involved, so I’ve given him the armband. Imran Louza looks like he’s rediscovering form, and with regular minutes, he’s difficult to leave out.
• Up front, I’m sticking with Kyle Wootton. He’s in good form and the fixtures suit him. I’ll double up with Norwood from the same side because I can see both delivering across the Gameweek.
• For team picks, I’ve settled on Middlesbrough and Southampton. The fixtures look strong for both, and they feel like the right clubs to back this week.

NOTES

• Sol Brynn stands out as the leading goalkeeper option this week. He has nine clean sheets to his name and continues to produce steady returns behind a well-structured Middlesbrough defence. With two home fixtures against relegation-threatened sides, the clean-sheet potential looks strong and the overall setup works in his favour.
• Tristan Crama brings a different profile at the back. He regularly completes 90 minutes and pushes forward with intent, which gives him more than one route to points. The fixtures suit him, particularly at home, and his attacking involvement adds another layer to his appeal.
• Taylor Harwood-Bellis remains central to Southampton’s defensive stability. He plays every week, carries aerial threat at set pieces and benefits from favourable matchups in this round. Clean sheets are realistic and a goal contribution would not surprise.
• In midfield, Oliver Norwood continues to act as the focal point for his side. He takes penalties, dictates the tempo and influences attacks through set plays. When the fixtures align, he tends to reward owners because he stays involved throughout the game.
• Everything Middlesbrough do in possession runs through Hayden Hackney. He links defence to attack, drives transitions and supports forward play. With promotion on the line and good fixtures ahead, he has the platform to deliver a significant score.
• Leo Scienza offers a slightly different angle. He arrives in strong form and operates as a creative hub in midfield, with the freedom to impact matches in advanced positions. The fixtures give him genuine haul potential if he maintains that rhythm.
• Up front, Oliver McBurnie continues to produce. Twelve goals and five assists across 22 matches underline his importance, and the upcoming fixtures strengthen his case further. Hull’s attacking unit looks sharper, which increases his involvement and gives him clear upside, especially at home.
• Southampton and Salford both shape up as strong team picks this week. The fixtures fall kindly, the performances have been solid, and backing them feels like the logical move.

NOTES

• I’ve brought in Sol Brynn for the home fixtures. He’s kept four clean sheets in his last five at home, and with the schedule lining up nicely again, he feels like the safe play in goal.
• I’ve gone with two at the back. Ashley Phillips faces two sides who have struggled, and he tends to collect bonus when things go well defensively. Alongside him, Luke Garbutt offers more attacking upside, especially with a strong home fixture in the second match. If Salford push forward, he’ll likely play a part.
• Midfield features Leo Scienza, who has 12 goal contributions this season and consistently produces key passes. He stays heavily involved in attacking phases, which makes him a reliable source of points. Next to him, Alfie Doughty feels like a smart differential. He handles set pieces, contributes defensively with interceptions and adds value through key passes, so he has multiple ways to score.
• Up front, Oliver McBurnie plays both matches at home and continues to deliver, with 12 goals so far this season. The form is there. Zan Vipotnik also looks sharp, having scored 15 this campaign, and with two home fixtures, he has every chance to add to that total.
• For team selections, I’m backing Middlesbrough and Southampton. Both have two favourable home matches and look well positioned for returns.
• The captaincy currently sits on Leo Scienza.

NOTES

• Formation: 2-3-1
• Rank: 618
• After a 124-point return last week, I’ve managed to keep the momentum going and edge just outside the top 600. As a result, I now sit roughly 100 points off the top 100, which feels well within reach if I can maintain this run. With that in mind, here’s how I’m setting up for Gameweek 30.
• GK – Ollie Wright (ACC) – To begin with, Ollie Wright gets the nod in goal. He has kept 10 clean sheets this season and now benefits from two home fixtures against Shrewsbury and Barnet. Moreover, Accrington rank among the strongest defensive sides in the league, conceding just 1.00 goal per 90 overall and only 13 in 15 home matches. Given those numbers, and the favourable schedule, back-to-back clean sheets look a genuine possibility.
• DEF – Adilson Malanda (MID) & Farrend Rawson (ACC) – In defence, Adilson Malanda continues to impress since joining Middlesbrough. He averages 5.9 points per game across seven appearances, with all three of his clean sheets arriving at home. Furthermore, Boro boast the best home defensive record in the Championship at 0.73 goals conceded per 90. With Oxford and Leicester visiting – both winless in their last four – the opportunity for further returns is clear. Alongside him, Farrend Rawson offers a different kind of appeal. While he may not attract much attention, his clearance numbers consistently sit between 10 and 20 per match, which makes him a strong bonus contender. When you combine that steady floor with clean-sheet potential, the upside becomes significant.
• MID – Azor Matusiwa (IPS), Anis Ben Slimane (NOR) & Hayden Hackney (MID) – Moving into midfield, I’ve deliberately gone for balance. On one hand, Azor Matusiwa provides defensive security. He regularly collects interceptions and keeps the points ticking over, and with away trips to Wrexham and Watford, he should see plenty of action. On the other hand, Anis Ben Slimane supplies the attacking threat. He has five goal involvements in eight appearances for Norwich, and as the team’s form improves, his opportunities increase. A favourable home double only strengthens that outlook. Then there’s Hayden Hackney, who takes the armband. Everything Middlesbrough do in possession runs through him. He drives transitions, supports forward play and dictates tempo. Given the fixtures and the stakes in the promotion race, he looks both a high-floor asset and a reliable captaincy option.
• FWD – Mohamed Touré (NOR) – Up front, Mohamed Touré represents the bold call. Although he has only featured twice for Norwich, he scored on debut and followed it with a hat-trick. With Sheffield Wednesday at home next, the fixture encourages further optimism, and I’m backing him to continue that sharp start.
• Team Picks – Finally, I’ve opted for Middlesbrough and Norwich as my team selections. Both sides have scored consistently while keeping things relatively tight at the back over their last five matches. Crucially, each also benefits from a favourable home double, which makes them logical targets this week. I’d be looking for around 14 points from each as a solid baseline.
