Fantasy Premier League managers face another round of important fixtures that could have a big impact on their ranks.
Some players are in excellent form, while others offer steady and reliable returns, making squad selection more important than ever.
Forwards continue to lead the way with consistent points, and midfielders and defenders are also stepping up to make a difference in key matches.
Picking the right combination of players can give managers an advantage, but with so many options available, making the best choices is never simple.
Here is a breakdown of our top FPL player picks for Gameweek 23 to help you make the most of your squad and maximise points.
Robin Roefs (£5.0m) – Sunderland
Fixture: West Ham (A)
Robin Roefs has played every league game this season and has been reliable in goal, making important saves and helping his team keep a number of clean sheets.
Sunderland face West Ham away in Gameweek 23, and with West Ham sitting close to the bottom of the table, Roefs is likely to be busy but could still pick up points from saves even if a clean sheet is unlikely.
At £5.0m, he is a good budget option for Fantasy Premier League managers who want a goalkeeper with regular playing time and the chance to earn points.
Pedro Porro (£5.2m) – Tottenham
Fixture: Burnley (H)
Pedro Porro has been one of Tottenham’s most effective players this season, already earning 78 Fantasy points. He frequently joins attacks, delivers crosses, and creates chances, adding value from the back.
Tottenham face Burnley at home in Gameweek 23, with the visitors sitting 19th in the table.
Porro is likely to be involved throughout the game, giving managers opportunities for both clean sheets and attacking returns.
Nordi Mukiele (£4.4m) – Sunderland
Fixture: West Ham (A)
Nordi Mukiele has been impressive for Sunderland, earning 13 FPL points across his last three outings.
He regularly pushes forward to support attacking moves while also staying alert defensively to protect his side.
This week, Sunderland takes on West Ham, who have struggled near the bottom of the table.
Mukiele’s ability to contribute at both ends of the pitch makes him a valuable budget option for Fantasy managers aiming to maximize points from defenders.
James Tarkowski (£5.7m) – Everton
Fixture: Leeds United (H)
James Tarkowski played a key role as Everton kept a clean sheet in their recent 1–0 win over Aston Villa.
He was solid at the back, helping to organise the defence and limit chances for the opposition.
Everton now hosts Leeds United in Gameweek 23, and Tarkowski is expected to be central to another strong defensive performance.
His consistency and ability to make important interventions make him a reliable option for Fantasy managers looking for clean sheet points and defensive stability.
Gabriel Magalhães (£6.8m) – Arsenal
Fixture: Manchester United (A)
Heading into Gameweek 23, Gabriel remains a key figure in Arsenal’s defence. He is known for his strength, aerial ability, and tackling, and he also poses a threat from set-pieces.
His presence at the back helps keep the team organised and adds stability in crucial moments.
Arsenal travel to face Manchester United, a team in the top five, which is not going to be an easy match.
All FPL managers will be looking forward to seeing what the game brings, and Gabriel will be relied upon to contribute defensively while still offering the potential for attacking returns.
Bukayo Saka (£10.1m) – Arsenal
Fixture: Manchester United (H)
Bukayo Saka has been frustrating for FPL managers at times due to recent benchings, but he is expected to start against Manchester United at home.
He is Arsenal’s main goal and assist threat, and he also takes penalties, giving him multiple ways to earn points.
Arsenal usually controls matches at home, which should allow Saka to be heavily involved in attacks.
His direct running, set-piece involvement, and finishing ability make him a key option for FPL managers looking for consistent returns in a high-profile fixture.
Cole Palmer (£10.4m) – Chelsea
Fixture: Crystal Palace (A)
Cole Palmer has been performing well under Chelsea’s new manager, scoring from the penalty spot last week and playing the full game.
His involvement in the final third makes him one of Chelsea’s main attacking threats.
Chelsea face Crystal Palace away in Gameweek 23, and Palace’s defensive struggles create opportunities for goals and assists.
When fit, Palmer is central to Chelsea’s attack, making him a strong pick for FPL managers seeking returns from midfield.
Antoine Semenyo (£7.6m) – Manchester City
Fixture: Wolves (H)
Antoine Semenyo is an exciting option for managers looking for high points this week.
In his first three games for Manchester City, he has already scored twice and shown he can create chances as well as finish moves.
Wolves are one of the league’s weakest defensive teams, conceding 41 goals this season, which gives Semenyo plenty of opportunities to score or assist.
His attacking style and ability to get into the box make him a strong differential pick for Gameweek 23.
Florian Wirtz (£7.1m) – Liverpool
Fixture: AFC Bournemouth (A)
Florian Wirtz has been in great form for Liverpool, showing skill and creativity in recent matches.
He moves well in attack, looks for space, and gets involved in dangerous areas.
Liverpool will play AFC Bournemouth away in Gameweek 23, and Wirtz is expected to be an important part of the team.
His ability to find the ball in key positions makes him a strong pick for Fantasy managers looking for returns from his attacking involvement.
Erling Haaland (£15.1m) – Manchester City
Fixture: Wolves (H)
Erling Haaland is Manchester City’s main attacking player and is involved in most of their chances.
He has scored just once in his last five games but is still a major threat in front of goal.
City play Wolves at home, where they are expected to create many opportunities.
Haaland is usually the player finishing these moves, making him an important pick for Fantasy managers looking for attacking returns.
Igor Thiago (£7.2m) – Brentford
Fixture: Nottingham Forest (H)
Igor Thiago has been one of the best value picks this season.
He is central to Brentford’s attacks and also takes penalties. He helps create chances and is often involved in key moves.
Brentford host Nottingham Forest at home, a team that has conceded 34 goals this season.
With Brentford’s attack performing well, Thiago is a good option for Fantasy managers hoping for points this week.
