GW28 predicted line-ups and team news for all Premier League sides
1. GW28 Premier League predicted line-up: Arsenal vs Crystal Palace

We can see from the GW28 Arsenal’s predicted line-up, that there are no major injuries to key members of their team as of the time of writing. They are predicted to still line up the way they did last week against Fulham.
Arsenal injury news:
The only notable injury miss in Arsenal is Gabby Jesus who is now in training. Based on the predictions and Areteta’s presser, Gabby Jesus would not be starting in GW28.
As for players expected to pick up the most FPL points for Arsenal this gameweek, we have:
- Saka
- Martinelli
- Odegaard
- Zinchenko
2. GW28 Premier League predicted line-up: Aston Villa vs Bournemouth

As for Aston Villa this gameweek, they’re expected to play a 4-4-1-1 formation which could also change to a 4-2-3-1 formation.
There’s a notable change to this Aston Villa GW28 predicted line-up, and that’s the inclusion of Chambers and the omission of Moreno. We think the Drathound AI has got it wrong – We think Moreno would feature ahead of Chambers in this gameweek.
If you’re on a free hit or wildcard, Moreno is a player that you might want to get into your team, considering Villa’s nice set of upcoming fixtures.
As for players expected to pick up the most FPL points for Aston Villa this week, we’ve got:
- Ollie Watkins
- Leon Bailey
- Cash
- Mings

3. GW28 Premier League predicted line-up: Bournemouth vs Aston Villa

Here’s how Bournemouth is predicted to line up this gameweek. From what we’re seeing we agree slightly with this prediction.
The only thing we’d change though is the formation we’d be expecting Bournemouth to maintain the formation they used against Liverpool, which was 4-4-1-1.
That means Mepham would be taking out for Lerma and then Semenyo would be replaced by Anthony. Other than that, the prediction seems to be spot on.
Bournemouth injury news:
In terms of injuries, it looks like Smith is the only injury doubt, so we’d be keeping an eye on Garry Oneil’s presser. As for players expected to pick up the most FPL points for Bournemouth this week, we’ve got:
- Solanke
- Ouattara
- Billing
4. GW28 Premier League predicted line-up: Brentford vs Leicester

Brentford has a pretty stable line-up and it’s one that we believe the AI has got right this time. The only change would be Ajer out for Hickey. We also need to understand that Brentford played during the mid-week, so they could rotate their team in GW28.
This means that it’s very likely that players like Damsgaard and Wissa would be added back into their side in gameweek 28. As for players expected to pick up the most FPL points for Brentford this week, we’ve got:
- Toney
- Wissa
- Mbeumo
5. GW28 Premier League predicted line-up: Chelsea vs Everton

Chelsea is one of those teams that you can’t predict how they’d line up and that’s because of how big their squad is. However, this week the Drafthound AI has got its predictions in and we think it is pretty accurate.
The lineup predicted is quite similar to that of last week. Chelsea does have some injury problems, here are the players that are a doubt for GW28.
Chelsea injury news:
James is a doubt, Thiago Silva is out for a long time, Cucurella wasn’t in the matchday squad against Leicester, and Fofana was subbed off and is a doubt this gameweek.
To get a complete understanding of their various injuries, we’d have to wait for Potter’s press conference on Friday. As for players expected to pick up the most FPL points for Chelsea this week, we’ve got:
- Chilwell
- Koulibaly
- Fofana

6. GW28 Premier League predicted line-up: Crystal Palace vs Arsenal

As for Crystal Palace, here’s how they are predicted to line up, and again it is possible that they set up this way. The only change that we would make to the Drafthound lineup, is Hughes out for Doucoure.
Other than that, it is a pretty good prediction. As for players expected to pick up the most FPL points for Crystal Palace this week, we’ve got:
- Zaha
- Ayew
- Edouard
7. GW28 Premier League predicted line-up: Everton vs Chelsea

Everton’s lineup is pretty standard it is the same as last week. There are a few injury worries and that’s Calvert Lewin who is still not fit and so won’t be featuring in this gameweek. Sean Dyche’s presser would provide us with more details.
As for players expected to pick up the most FPL points for Everton this week, we’ve got:
- McNeil
- Iwobi
- Gray
8. GW28 Premier League predicted line-up: Leeds vs Wolves

Here is the Leeds GW28 predicted lineup and from the lineup, we can see that there is one notable omission and that’s Harrison who has been predicted to be benched by the Drafthound AI. That is something we don’t agree with, if Harrison is fit, we expect him to start.
Leeds injury and Team news
Leeds has an injury to contend with this gameweek and that’s an injury to Tyler Adams, who looks to have hurt himself in training this week. He’d not be joining the USA during the international break.
As for players expected to pick up the most FPL points for Leeds this week, we’ve got:
- Bamford
- Summerville
- Gnonto
9. GW28 Premier League predicted line-up: Leicester vs Brentford

Another team with a pretty standard eleven without many issues is Leicester City, for that reason, we’d be letting the Drafthoud AI have its way here.

- Maddison
- Iheanacho
- Dewsbury-Hall
10. GW28 Premier League predicted line-up: Newcastle vs Nott’m Forest

Newcastle again is just like Leicester, so we’d be going with the Drafthound predictions. The only tough decision would be whether to go with Isak or Wilson up top, which we think is a 50-50 decision and could go either way.

- Trippier
- Almiron
