Fantasy Premier League Tips: Make Hazard As Captain And Avoid Arsenal Stars

Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 16

We are into the festive period of the Premier League where games will now be coming fast and thick and thin. The clash of the weekend is certainly Manchester City’s encounter against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium while Tottenham also host Liverpool on Sunday, which is surely going to be a mouth-watering prospect for all the fans worldwide. If this is not enough to charge your veins, how about Southampton’s travel to the Sports Direct Arena to take on the Magpies? Thus as we are sure on getting warmed by the scorching Premier League Programme this weekend, let us take a look at those player whom we feel will be worth the bet in this gameweek. So Fantasy Premier League managers, here were go!!

Goalkeeper:

It’s a rare sight these days to witness clean sheets as goals are being scored by thick and thin every week in and week out. This weekend too, will be no exception. Expect goals galore as all of City, United, Chelsea, Liverpool , Arsenal and Tottenham clash against each other in the business season of this Premier League Campaign. With Everton taking on Fulham this Saturday, Tim Howard perhaps remains the best bet to get yourself a clean sheet. And yes! He comes quite cheap too.

Defenders:

Make sure you have Luke Shaw in your team this weekend. The Saints take on Newcastle at the Sports Direct Arena, and are currently playing some exquisite football currently and I expect the young left back to get an assist. However if you don’t quite agree with me, take a fresh breath of air and go with Newcastle’s Mathieu Debuchy. The Frenchman is one of the most effective of the wingbacks in the Premier League and has scored about 45 points this season and he is quite cheap at 4.9m. However if you are looking for clean sheets yet again, keep Brian Oviedo or Slyvian Distin in your line up. However, this might just be a big gamble which would fall to scarp if Everton are to concede a goal.  The best option however a Fantasy manager might have is to pick either of Chelsea centre backs in John Terry or Gary Cahill. The Blues take on Crystal Palace at home and a clean sheet for the home side looks a good bet.

Midfield:

Hazard

If you aren’t working on a shoe string budget, pick any one of the Chelsea Midfielders, either of Hazard or Oscar as they are sure to rattle the visiting Palace side at the Stamford Bridge. It is also best to make Hazard as captain as other favorites like Suarez and Aguero has tough matches coming ahead. Everton’s Ross Barkley also remains a feasible option if you are to shell out only 5m. If I would have a team, I would avoid Arsenal’s midfielders for this gameweek. They come up against a very confident Manchester City side who best Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena this midweek and Chelsea is waiting for them in the next game day. If you are ambitious ,go for an attacking Swansea or a Norwich midfielder as both the sides clash against each other.

Striking Department:

Robin Van Persie is out injured, so United’s best scoring threat will come from Wayne Rooney, so Wazza, as he is affectionately called should be on your tick list. Luis Suarez too needs no introduction for your team, but my choice for this gameweek’s captain would be Everton’s young Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku.
