Let&#8217;s find out how to approach this shortened Premier League weekend.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"entry-title\">Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 33 Tips<\/h1>\n<p>As this gameweek has only six matches, let\u2019s analyse each fixture and the best fantasy assets from them. With just three more gameweeks left, one must be even more careful\u00a0while making transfers.\u00a0There is a Friday deadline this week so be alert and do not get caught out.<\/p>\n<h2>Southampton vs Liverpool &#8211;<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/feeds\/liverpoolfootball-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Liverpool<\/a> were\u00a0quite fortunate to get all three points last week against <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/feeds\/tottenhamfootball-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tottenham Hotspurs<\/a>. Their form has been rather erratic away from home and this trip to the south coast could possibly be a rather tricky one. <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/clubs\/southampton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Southampton<\/a> have troubled most sides after the appointment of\u00a0Ralph Hasenh\u00fcttl and they still need points to secure their survival in the Premier League. Liverpool must win to reclaim top spot but will they be able to do it?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e342ad68\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mohamed Salah<\/a> has not scored in the last six matches. He looks quite desperate to score and in the last couple of games seems to be taking shots despite a pass to another attacker being a better option. There is no doubting his ability but his quest to score is probably hurting Liverpool&#8217;s team play. <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/c691bfe2\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sadio Mane<\/a> is the in-form guy and he might do well against his former side. <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/4c370d81\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Roberto Firmino<\/a> is also worth considering. The two full backs are both great options this week. Both <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/2e4f5f03\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Andrew Robertson<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/cd1acf9d\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/a> must be considered strongly if you can fit them into your side. From <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/clubs\/southampton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Southampton<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/3515d404\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">James Ward-Prowse<\/a> could be considered. He is fantastic on set pieces.\u00a0Pierre-Emile H\u00f8jbjerg could be a cheap option.<\/p>\n<h2>Bournemouth vs Burnley<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/clubs\/burnley\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Burnley<\/a> are fighting against relegation and will target at least a point at <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/clubs\/bournemouth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bournemouth<\/a>. The Cherries are quite strong at home and generally score two or more goals. <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/c596fcb0\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Callum Wilson<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/d56543a0\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ryan Fraser<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/43458538\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Joshua King<\/a> should be considered. Burnley players could do well too. <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/fc15fb84\/Dwight-McNeil\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dwight McNeil<\/a> is in good form and has scored in the last couple of games.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/15ea812b\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">James Tarkowski<\/a> could also profit from the shaky Bournemouth defence. Similarly, the tall strikers could cause damage. <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/4e9a0555\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chris Wood<\/a> should be in your consideration.<\/p>\n<h2>Huddersfield Town vs Leicester City<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/clubs\/huddersfield-town\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Huddersfield Town<\/a>\u00a0have nothing left to play for as they were officially relegated after last week&#8217;s defeat to Crystal Palace. <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/clubs\/leicester-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leicester City<\/a> should win and their fantasy assets should definitely be in your side. <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/45963054\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jamie Vardy<\/a> is the main man for the Foxes and he is a top contender for the armband this week. <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/ee38d9c5\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">James Maddison<\/a> and Ricardo Perreira have done well this season so they should be considered also. <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/80c31c97\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wes Morgan<\/a> seems to be in great scoring form. Can\u00a0he continue this run though? Also, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/d8931174\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Harry Maguire<\/a> is back from suspension so he might even replace him in the starting 11.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/56f7a928\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Youri Tielemans<\/a> is also a decent shout as he has notched up four assists already this season in just seven matches.<\/p>\n<h2>Newcastle United vs Crystal Palace<\/h2>\n<p>This is a tough match to call. Both sides are quite evenly matched. <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/clubs\/crystal-palace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Crystal Palace<\/a> have been quite decent away from home whereas <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/clubs\/newcastle-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Newcastle<\/a> are stronger at home. Probably this will be a tight game. Defensive options could be worth a thought so consider the likes of <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/9e525177\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aaron Wan-Bissaka<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/3312f911\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jeffrey Schlupp<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/450ab6fc\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jamaal Lascelles<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/ae0a7ddf\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DeAndre Yedlin<\/a>. The attacking assets might be better to avoid but if you must, Newcastle options are probably better.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/862a1c15\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Miguel Almir\u00f3n<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/b318a643\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Salom\u00f3n Rond\u00f3n<\/a> are the best bets on paper.<\/p>\n<h2>Everton vs Arsenal<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/feeds\/arsenalfootball-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arsenal<\/a> are in great form overall but their away form has been rather poor this season. The Gunners tend to do well at <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/clubs\/everton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Everton<\/a> traditionally though. In fact, Arsenal have won three out of the last five matches at Goodison Park with just one win for the home side. That could help make your mind up about getting Arsenal players in. Still, one should be a bit cautious about going overboard on Arsenal picks. Unai Emery is a tough manager to predict and there are changes in his sides according to the strengths and weaknesses of the opposition. Also, Arsenal have a lot of matches to play so there is bound to be some rotation. <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/9dbb75ca\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alexandre Lacazette<\/a> should start. He has been in good form this season.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/3935e52e\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sead Kolasinac<\/a> is a good option as well.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/dd0daf32\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Henrikh Mkhitaryan<\/a> will probably start ahead of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/16380240\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mesut \u00d6zil<\/a> as the German is often benched in away matches.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/d5dd5f1f\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang<\/a> is also a slight worry. With the Napoli game in mind, Emery might decide to manage the minutes of his key players.<\/p>\n<h2>Chelsea vs West Ham United<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/feeds\/chelseafootball-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chelsea<\/a> will take on <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/clubs\/west-ham\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">West Ham<\/a> on Monday night in a London derby that is traditionally quite hotly contested. The Hammers have drawn three times out of their last five visits to Stamford Bridge. It will not be an easy match for Chelsea. They seem to be doing well now after back to back wins last week. <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/a39bb753\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eden Hazard<\/a> once again will have to perform. Will his minutes be managed by Maurizio Sarri though? Chelsea face an away trip to\u00a0Slavia Prague on Thursday night in the Europa League. How will that affect their players? One would expect a full strength side for the West Ham game though.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/16ceb862\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Olivier Giroud<\/a> started and scored against Brighton. Will he keep out\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/8a08491a\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gonzalo Higua\u00edn<\/a>? The young English duo of <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e97fd090\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ruben Loftus-Cheek<\/a> and\u00a0Callum Hudson-Odoi both played well last night. Will they keep their starting spots? Plenty of questions surround Chelsea at this moment. One might take a punt on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/9328b835\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lukasz Fabianski<\/a> in this game. He might make a lot of saves. There might be a few cards flying around as well.<\/p>\n<h2>Top Picks<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/45963054\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jamie Vardy<\/a> (9.0)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/c691bfe2\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sadio Man\u00e9<\/a> (10.0)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/a39bb753\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eden Hazard<\/a> (11.0)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e342ad68\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mohamed Salah<\/a> (13.2)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/9dbb75ca\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alexandre Lacazette<\/a> (9.3)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/cd1acf9d\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/a> (5.5)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/75a72a99\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ricardo Pereira<\/a> (5.4)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/ee38d9c5\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">James Maddison<\/a> (6.8)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/c596fcb0\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Callum Wilson<\/a> (6.5)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/fc15fb84\/Dwight-McNeil\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dwight McNeil<\/a> (4.4)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"1FcLu2q-Rd5o2e1esjKhcQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1140253084\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'1FcLu2q-Rd5o2e1esjKhcQ',sig:'SpFnMhXoSU-hNF5loKsSL3nErUGUsNR7ZiIXWbgxbug=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1140253084',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An underwhelming gameweek 33 has just six matches to pick fantasy assets from.
