When Burnley and Watford produced a goalless draw on Saturday, they ended a two-week break in the Premier League. The action returns for real on Tuesday, with a jam-packed midweek schedule ahead.
With Chelsea away at the FIFA Club World Cup, their game against Brighton has been postponed. Still, there are nine clashes to look forward to in FPL Gameweek 24.
Frank Lampard takes charge of his first Premier League game as Everton manager on Tuesday night, coming up against battling Newcastle. Elsewhere, last-place Burnley host Manchester United.
On Wednesday, league-leaders Manchester City welcome off-form Brentford to the Etihad Stadium. Liverpool and Leicester go head-to-head at Anfield on Thursday night.
Here are the top FPL picks for Gameweek 24.
Ben Foster (Watford) helped the Hornets to achieve their first Premier League clean sheet of the season on Saturday. On Tuesday, Hodgson’s side face West Ham, who struggled against sixth-tier Kidderminster in the FA Cup at the weekend.
No goalkeeper has picked up more FPL points than Jose Sa (Wolves) this term. With low-scoring Arsenal up next for Wolves, the Portuguese could add to his impressive tally this week.
David De Gea (Man Utd) is another goalkeeper to consider for Gameweek 24. The Spaniard has made more saves than anyone else this season and comes up against bottom-of-the-table Burnley on Tuesday.
At this stage, it pretty much goes without saying that Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) and Joao Cancelo (Man City) are the best defensive options in the game.
If you’re looking for a differential defender, however, Romain Saiss (Wolves), Davinson Sanchez (Tottenham), Matty Cash (Aston Villa), Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace) and Michael Keane (Everton) are all worth considering this week.
It remains to be seen whether Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) and Sadio Mane (Liverpool) will be available for Thursday’s clash with Leicester, having both featured in the Africa Cup of Nations final on Sunday.
With that in mind, Jota (Liverpool) is a must-have midfielder for Gameweek 24. Luis Diaz (Liverpool) is another interesting option following his move from Porto.
Elsewhere, Jarrod Bowen (West Ham) is the second highest-scoring midfielder in the game. Son Heung-min (Tottenham), Conor Gallagher (Crystal Palace), Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd) and Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) are also in the top ten.
Cristiano Ronaldo (Man Utd) has the potential to pick up plenty of points against Burnley on Tuesday. He currently finds himself behind Michail Antonio (West Ham) and Emmanuel Dennis (Watford) as the third highest-scoring forward in FPL.
In terms of in-form forwards, Patson Daka (Leicester), Harry Kane (Tottenham), Josh Sargent (Norwich) and Odsonne Edouard (Crystal Palace) are the best options for Gameweek 24.
