Key FPL notes:
-
Jarrod Bowen (£7.7m) scored against Brighton in his last home appearance, earning seven points.
-
Alphonse Areola (£4.3m) has made a league-high 19 saves over the last four gameweeks, at least three more than any other goalkeeper.
-
Morgan Gibbs-White (£7.3m) has attempted 42 shots and created seven big chances. Both totals are more than any other Forest player this season.
