We have a GW15 review, must-have signings, captaincy picks and differentials.

So, let’s just get on with it.

Gameweek 15 review

In the absence of centre-back partner Gabriel (£6.2m), William Saliba (£6.2m) has stepped up to be Arsenal’s set-piece danger man, bagging two in as many games.

Gabriel’s omission from Arsenal’s match-day squad for the second week in a row and Liverpool’s game against Everton being called off meant several managers had points from the bench.

But last weekend was all about Cole Palmer (£11.1m), who scored two and assisted in one for 18 points.

With Mohamed Salah (£13.3m) out, my vice-captain Palmer contributed 36 points to my total of 60.

I ended the week on another green arrow – my third in a row – to move inside the top 150,000 in the world.

Elsewhere, Chris Wood (£6.5m) got a much-needed goal after returning only once (a goal against Ipswich) in his past four games before Nottingham Forest’s 3-2 win at Old Trafford – their first since 1994.
