Fantasy Premier League 2016-17: Players to pick for Gameweek 30

This week’s big match will be played between Arsenal and Manchester City

Gameweek 29 turned out to be brilliant for Chelsea who had another solid outing against a resilient Stoke City who conceded a late goal and lost the game 2-1. Manchester United finally got away from the clutches of the 6th spot after beating Middlesbrough away from home. 

North London clubs Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal had polar opposite results as Spurs defeated Southampton 2-1 whereas the Gunners failed to hit the target against West Brom and lost the match 3-1, thanks to some shambolic defending. 

The week’s most exciting match ended in a 1-1 draw with Liverpool and Manchester City fought it out in a match that had plenty of chances but few goals to show for.

Jamie Vardy is all set for another party

Diego Costa – £10.7 

The Spaniard would surely be salivating at the prospect of their upcoming game against London rivals Crystal Palace. Whilst not blazing away like the at the beginning of the season, the forward still has two goals and two assists in his last five. Palace might have posted three back to back clean sheets but it will be a mammoth task to keep the Chelsea frontline at bay.

Jamie Vardy – £9.8

Ranieri’s sacking may have been controversial but it has certainly resulted in a rejuvenated Leicester City. The Foxes look in great form and their main striker Jamie Vardy certainly looks to be back to his best. Vardy has produced three goals and two assists in his last three matches and with a fixture at home against Stoke City around the corner, we expect Vardy to deliver the goods. 

Jermain Defoe – £7.8

Sunderland’s main man Defoe could be a great pick for this gameweek considering that the club face Watford, a team that has not kept a single cleansheet in their last 5 matches and have conceded 9 goals in the same. The English forward has just 2 goals in the same duration but this game seems to be the perfect opportunity for him to come back in action. The North East club will definitely be banking on his offensive prowess if they want to win this match which is extremely crucial for their survival in the league.
