BBC Sport highlights key FPL picks for the week, focusing on Haaland and Semenyo for Chelsea's tough match. Haaland, back in form, offers a high-risk, high-reward option against Chelsea's shaky defense, which has conceded three goals in their last two games. His recent scoring form and the City clash make him a standout captaincy pick. Anthony Gordon is also a strong contender, potentially playing as a striker for Newcastle after their derby loss, with three goals in three games. Diogo Dalot provides attacking value for United against Leeds' poor away record, despite his xG vs actual goals discrepancy. Igor Thiago at Brentford is recommended confidently despite Everton's strong away stats, leveraging his goal-scoring form. Jarrod Bowen for West Ham against Wolves is a must-pick talisman, leading attacking metrics despite a lack of prolific scoring. Antoine Semenyo is the top midfield pick for City's trip to Chelsea, backed by their unbeaten Stamford Bridge record. Virgil van Dijk for Liverpool against Fulham is a decent captaincy option, benefiting from Fulham's weak away defense and his own goal threat. David Raya for Arsenal is a costly but reliable goalkeeper pick, backed by clean sheets and Bournemouth's poor away scoring. Nordi Mukiele for Sunderland against Tottenham is a bargain, offering attacking returns despite Sunderland's inconsistent form. Bruno Fernandes remains a must-have for United against Leeds, though his double gameweek clash with Chelsea next week presents a dilemma.

The picks emphasize exploiting opponents' defensive weaknesses and player form, with Haaland and Semenyo being the most prominent choices for this challenging fixture.
