FPL Tips: Top 3 players to pick ahead of an unpredictable GW16
With every season of the Premier League comes an even more exhilarating Fantasy Premier League. The 2019/20 season has kicked off and while there have been some surprising results across the numerous gameweeks so far, the ongoing term is certainly one for the history books.
There has been an open challenge to the order of the top-four as clubs like Sheffield United, Leicester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers have exceeded expectations with some splendid displays. Meanwhile, English giants like Arsenal and Manchester United have been struggling quite a bit.
After a bright gameweek 15, let’s take a look at 3 top FPL picks ahead of what promises to be an unpredictable gameweek 16.
Jetro Willems – Newcastle United
Newcastle’s defence has been up in shambles this season but Willems has proven to be a worthy addition for the club. With 2 goals and 2 assists to his name already, the attack-minded wing-back’s influence is there for all to see.
Having notched up 50 points by playing in 11 gameweeks so far, the Magpies star would be worth a punt. Also, his £4.6m price tag does sound tempting.
Chris Wood – Burnley
With 6 goals in 13 matches so far, Wood is quite a favourite of manager Sean Dyche. With a game against a Tottenham Hotspur side that has leaked 4 goals in their last 2 league fixtures, the 27-year-old is capable of taking his tally higher up a notch.
Furthermore, they play Newcastle next and the Magpies aren’t exactly known for a powerful defence this term. Valued at £6.2m, Wood might just end up being a dark horse.
Christian Pulisic – Chelsea
Barring the young American’s initial lukewarm displays, Pulisic has been a good performer for the Blues until now. Despite being unlucky against Aston Villa and failing to score even after taking 5 shots in strong positions, the Chelsea man is capable of wreaking havoc on his day.
Considering the fact that Tammy Abraham limped off in the previous game, Pulisic could be a game-changer for the Londoners against a struggling Everton side. At £7.5m, the attacker would be a smart buy.
