Saturday 21 December
Aston Villa vs Man City (12.30pm)
Ipswich vs Newcastle
Crystal Palace vs Arsenal (5.30pm)
*2pm unless otherwise stated
Fulham vs Southampton
Man Utd vs Bournemouth
This week’s most popular transfer appears to be Rayan Ait-Nouri out and Antonee Robinson in.
Robinson, meanwhile, is gaining in popularity and is currently second in the most-bought charts.
A pair of assists at Anfield last weekend took the Liverpool-raised United States international to six for the campaign, two more than any other defender.
Price: £4.8m Points: 55 Gameweek 17 fixture: Southampton (h)
Amad Diallo (Man Utd)
Since Gameweek 1, Rogers has been the standout midfielder priced at £5m at the start of the season, but his status has slipped since the emergence of Enzo Fernandez and Amad Diallo over the past few gameweeks.
Amad has provided five assists and one goal, in only five appearances under Ruben Amorim.
Amad has played the full 90 minutes in four of those outings, making a winning contribution late on against Manchester City in the derby last Sunday.
Leicester’s Christmas fixtures must have been hand-picked by the Grinch.
But before then, they play Wolves at the King Power. Ruud van Nistelrooy could hardly have picked a better fixture given their current state.
It would be some feat if he can transform their defence immediately, though, which could be good news for Jamie Vardy’s FPL backers.
He has performed particularly well at home lately, scoring three times and setting up another in his last four appearances.
Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest)
Brentford have been fantastic at the Gtech this season, so much so that with 22 points they have the best home record in the Premier League.
The Bees have netted 24 times at home, more than any other club, but have also conceded 14 which is the fourth-worst record in the league.
Chris Wood is the obvious Forest player to target, but Morgan Gibbs-White is also worth considering.
Price: £6.3m Points: 45 Gameweek 17 fixture: Brentford (a)
Alexander Isak (Newcastle)
The Swedish striker is the best-performing forward in FPL right now which bodes well for Newcastle’s trip to Suffolk this weekend.
Isak has scored in three of his last four away fixtures and with the Tractor Boys yet to keep a clean sheet on home turf, you would back him to continue his purple patch on Saturday.
Price: £8.7m Points: 80 Gameweek 17 fixture: Ipswich (a)
