Fantasy Premier League 2016-17: 5 Players to pick for Gameweek 17
The midweek fixtures produced positive results for most top sides except the Gunners who lost to Everton in a thrilling match at Goodison park. Arsenal, after going a goal up were truly hassled by the Everton side who dominated them physically and ultimately won the game after Ashley Williams scored a header in the 86th minute.
The other Merseyside club, Liverpool, also had a good outing with an inspiring performance by Adam Lallana who scored twice and set one as well. Manchester clubs, City and United, won their fixtures as they beat Watford and Crystal Palace respectively.
However, the true winners of the gameweek were Chelsea who won their 10th successive game on the trot and are now 6 points clear off the top of the table.
Gameweek 17 promises to be a thrilling affair with the Merseyside Derby and a crunch game between Manchester City and Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium. To maximise our FPL gains from the weekend fixtures here’s a look at 5 players we believe could do well this coming gameweek:
#1 Christian Eriksen
Eriksen against Hull City was one of the best performers of the gameweek. The Danish player scored a massive 19 points on his own as he scored twice and assisted another to get the Lily Whites a 3-0 victory against Hull City.
Eriksen has suddenly come up in stunning form with 5 goals in his last three games along with a couple of assists. At a decent price of £8.3m, Eriksen is also a great choice if you are looking at a goalscoring threat from Spurs other than Kane.
With performances like these, his price is bound to skyrocket and it would be best to get him early on. This week Tottenham face Burnley at the White Hart Lane where they’ve scored a staggering 14 goals in the last 5 games. If Spurs keep up their form, we could expect another good performance by the Dane.
Next 3 fixtures: Burnley(H), Southampton(A), Watford(A)
