Fantasy Premier League gameweek 16 kicks off rapidly on the back of gameweek 15. The deadline for this gameweek with a full round of fixtures is today itself. Don’t forget to make changes to your FPL squad.<\/p>\n
With teams having to play twice in two-three days, rotation is inevitable. However, we cannot predict the fitness conditions of the players so the best thing to do would be to have some options on the bench and not try to second guess the managers.<\/p>\n
Emiliano Mart\u00ednez<\/a> has kept four clean sheets in a row. The Argentine has been an absolutely brilliant signing for Aston Villa<\/a> this season. If you have him, just keep him for the season. He could even keep a clean sheet at Chelsea.<\/p>\n Nick Pope<\/a> has a great fixture this week against rock bottom Sheffield United<\/a>. This could be a dour match but a clean sheet is possible for Burnley<\/a>.<\/p>\n Alex McCarthy<\/a> and Illan Meslier are also decent picks this week.<\/p>\n Burnley<\/a> defenders look great for this week. They also play Fulham<\/a> next week. So, the likes of Charlie Taylor<\/a> and Matthew Lowton<\/a> should definitely be considered.<\/p>\n Jan Bednarek<\/a> and Kyle Walker-Peters<\/a> are also decent options against West Ham United<\/a>.<\/p>\n One could consider the Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> defenders as well. They have back to back home games against Fulham<\/a> and \u00a0Leeds United<\/a> coming up. Eric Dier<\/a> is probably the most nailed-on starter although Sergio Reguil\u00f3n<\/a> is probably the most exciting of the backline.<\/p>\n Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Andrew Robertson<\/a> both blanked last gameweek. They will be looking to bounce back against \u00a0Newcastle United<\/a> on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n After dropping two precious points at home, Liverpool<\/a> will be looking to bounce back this midweek. Mohamed Salah<\/a> and \u00a0Sadio Man\u00e9<\/a> will probably have to deliver the goals. \u00a0Newcastle United<\/a> are not doing well but could provide a lot of resistance.<\/p>\n Son Heung-min<\/a> has failed to score in the last couple of matches. Spurs will need the South Korean to get back to form if they are to win against an improving Fulham side. <\/a>The Cottagers are unbeaten in four.<\/p>\n Chelsea<\/a> vs Aston Villa<\/a> should be a very interesting fixture. Frank Lampard<\/a> was unhappy with his players after the defeat to Arsenal on Saturday. Callum Hudson-Odoi<\/a> could come into the side to add some much-needed impetus going forward. Jack Grealish<\/a> could trouble the Chelsea backline whereas Anwar El Ghazi<\/a> is in superb form with a stunning 25 FPL points in the last two gameweeks.<\/p>\n Bukayo Saka<\/a> is perhaps the best hope for \u00a0Arsenal<\/a> this season in their quest to get back to the top half. The youngster played brilliantly against Chelsea<\/a> and could do well this week against \u00a0Brighton & Hove Albion<\/a>. Gabriel Martinelli’s return has also helped the struggling Gunners.\u00a0 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang<\/a> might return which will provide them with a huge boost.<\/p>\n Bruno Fernandes<\/a> has a tough fixture this midweek but he can do well in any game. The Portugal international will be right at home playing against so many of his fellow countrymen at Wolverhampton Wanderers<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Harry Kane\u00a0<\/a>hasn’t scored in three matches. He will be fired up to break that run and get back to scoring goals this week. Fulham<\/a> might have improved but if Kane is on his game, it’s very difficult to stop him.<\/p>\n Che Adams<\/a> and Chris Wood<\/a> should both get chances to score this week. Burnley<\/a> will be desperate for the three points against Sheffield United<\/a>. It could be a scrappy encounter but Wood might get the chance to score one or two. Southampton<\/a> will fancy themselves to beat West Ham United<\/a> and Che Adams<\/a> is their main man in the absence of Danny Ings<\/a>.<\/p>\n With Timo Werner<\/a> desperately out of form, Chelsea<\/a> will be hoping Tammy Abraham<\/a> can continue scoring. Aston Villa<\/a>‘s Ollie Watkins<\/a> is also struggling in front of goal. However, he is getting a lot of chances to score and might just put one or two in.<\/p>\n Patrick Bamford<\/a> has now scored ten premier league goals this season. He will look to add to that tally this week against relegation-threatened \u00a0West Bromwich Albion<\/a>.<\/p>\n Mohamed Salah<\/a>,\u00a0Sadio Man\u00e9<\/a>, Harry Kane<\/a>, \u00a0Bruno Fernandes<\/a>, Son Heung-min<\/a><\/p>\n Main PhotoDefenders<\/h3>\n
