By Graham Ruthven, in conversation with Jonas Sand LåbakkIntroducing our expertJonas is a 21 year old student who, like FotMob, hails from Norway. He was Fantasy Premier League champion for the 2023/24 season, finishing ahead of 11 million other managers. So who better to provide expert advice?Read his expert advice every week.*Don’t forget the early FPL deadline for this round – make your transfers and get your team sorted before 18:00 GMT on Tuesday 25 February*The Eye Test vs. The StatsJarrod Bowen (7.3m) might have delivered the knockout blow to Arsenal’s title chances in West Ham’s away win at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.The 28-year-old scored the only goal of the game, getting on the end of an excellent cross from Aaron Wan-Bissaka to finish from close range using his head. Bowen was in the right place at the right time to convert a 0.76 xG opportunity, also registering 0.94 in Expected Goal Involvements (xGI).With Lucas Paquetá and Niclas Füllkrug currently injured, and Michail Antonio still recovering from a serious car crash, Bowen is being used in an extremely advanced position by Graham Potter. Against Arsenal, West Ham set up in a back five with Bowen and Mohammed Kudus deployed as forwards. This gave the Hammers threat going forward when they could attack open space at speed. Paquetá’s injury could also see Bowen receive more opportunities to score from the penalty spot in the coming weeks, adding further to his case for selection.Bowen player traitsWest Ham face Leicester City in their next fixture. The Foxes, who suffered a bad 4-0 defeat to Brentford in GW26, have conceded the third-most xG (50.4) in the Premier League this season and the second-most goals (59). These statistics make Leicester a good match-up for anyone and Bowen will have opportunities to find the back of the net against them. With West Ham also not facing a blank gameweek in GW29 like many other teams, Bowen is an excellent option right now.On the whole, Cole Palmer (11.1m) has had an excellent season for Chelsea.He is the second-highest points scorer in FPL at this moment time, but his – and Chelsea’s – form has regressed in recent matches. Indeed, he has registered just one assist in his last five games during which Chelsea have claimed only six points.Despite this, Palmer remains a strong pick and his high ownership of 60.5% reflects this.Chelsea’s next two league fixtures are home games against Southampton and Leicester City in which the Blues will be firm favourites. Palmer could be set for two big double digit scores in both matches.Palmer is averaging 0.78 xGI per 90 minutes this season. Only Erling Haaland, Mohamed Salah and Alexander Isak are averaging a higher xGI per 90 than the Chelsea attacking midfielder, and with those two favourable fixtures up next, Palmer should be a priority for your FPL team. He might even be a better Captain pick for this gameweek than Salah.Long shotCrystal Palace are on the rise having won four of their last six league fixtures and the form of Jean-Philippe Mateta (7.4m) has been central to this.The French forward has tallied six goals and one assist from his last six appearances despite averaging just 1.05 xGI per match. Mateta won’t have a fixture in GW29, but he will face Ipswich and Southampton either side of the blank gameweek. He could rack up the points in those games.Mateta shot map, Premier League 2024/25What’s more, Mateta is Palace’s designated penalty taker. With the Eagles in resurgent form, the 27-year-old should be on your radar, particularly if you plan on using your Free Hit chip in GW29.Upcoming games to followThere are a number of mildly interesting fixtures from a FPL perspective in GW27, but only a few truly stand out.The first one is the meeting between Chelsea and Southampton on Tuesday. I expect the Blues to absolutely obliterate the Premier League’s bottom team. Palmer is the most attractive option there, but there are others worth keeping an eye on too.Pedro Neto (6.2m) played as a number nine against Aston Villa and could be an option. Christopher Nkunku (5.7m) was someone I mentioned last week with Enzo Fernández (4.7m) also someone who should be on your radar.Liverpool face Newcastle United on Wednesday, although this could be a tricky fixture for Arne Slot’s team.Nonetheless, Salah (13.7m), Trent Alexander-Arnold (7.4m) are worthwhile picks from Liverpool while Isak (9.5m) and Anthony Gordon (7.5m) could make life difficult for the Reds.The last fixture catching my eye is West Ham’s home game against Leicester on Thursday. Bowen could easily register a double digit haul.(Cover image from IMAGO)Did you know that you can track live Fantasy points with FotMob?
