The Ones To Buy This Week - Fantasy Premier League
Gabriel Jesus - F, Man City (Price: 10.3M)
Despite being injured for the majority of the middle portion of the season, Gabriel Jesus now has eleven goals and seven assists so far this season playing behind attacking mainstay Sergio Aguero. Jesus followed up his performances in recent weeks with a goal and an assist in last week's drubbing of Swansea (his assist came as a result of his penalty miss). With Sergio Aguero likely to miss the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery, Jesus is the only other true forward at the club. Although Raheem Sterling could also theoretically slide up to a more central role, it will likely be Jesus's time to shine for the remainder of the season. Manchester City have a very easy schedule to round up the season, with a double header in GW37 making Jesus an elite option for the remainder of the season.
Willian - M, Chelsea (Price: 7.1M)
With the majority of this season's top performers coming through the midfield department in Fantasy Premier League, finding cost effective talent that has the potential to perform at elite levels is becoming harder and harder as the season draws to a close. Nevertheless, Willian is one player who has outperformed expectations this season, with six goals and eight assists throughout the course of the season. With a double gameweek in GW37, Willian has the potential to provide a solid amount of points for fantasy owners and costs significantly less than other top rated players at the position. Consider adding Willian to close out the season; his fixture slate is relatively simple and he has been performing well in recent weeks.
Keep Your Eye On Him
Marko Arnautovic - M, West Ham (Price: 7M)
The West Ham winger has been brilliant in the past few weeks, with three goals to go along with an assist in his last four games. Arnautovic has been a crucial part in ensuring West Ham's survival for next season, and with their safety all but secure, the Austrian midfielder will be relied upon heavily to make sure that the team stay up for another year. Arnautovic is the team's main attacking threat and has ten goals to go along with five assists this season, making him one to watch out for in the last few gameweeks given his cost and good form as of late.
Offload Him Now
Andrew Robertson - D, Liverpool (5.1M)
Although Robertson has been in very good form for Liverpool this season, the Liverpool left back has been routinely replaced over the last few weeks as Liverpool continue to advance through the final stages of the Champions League. With manager Jurgen Klopp favoring to rotate Robertson with Moreno for two of the last three league games this season, it remains to be seen how Liverpool will use their fullbacks to finish the season. It may be that Robertson continues to be rotated every other week, making him a very risky proposition at the price point that he is currently valued at.
Potential Replacements: James Tomkins (4.3M), Harry Maguire (5.6M)
RotoBaller Weekly XI
Team (Prices May Be Over 100M):
GK: Nick Pope (5M)
DF: Nacho Monreal (5.6M), Kyle Walker (6.6M), Ben Davies (5.8M)
MF: Mohamed Salah (10.5M), Raheem Sterling (8.7M), Eden Hazard (10.5M), Willian (7.1M)
FW: Gabriel Jesus (10M), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (10.7M) , Jordan Ayew (5.3M)
Analysis:
Keeping a 4-3-3 from last week and loading up top with Aubameyang and Jesus, you are sure to have top class firepower with consistent production going into the week. A midfield of Salah, Sterling, Hazard, and Willian are doubling down on Chelsea this weekend while maintaining a solid duo of Salah and Sterling, who are fantasy's most productive players at the moment. Up top, going with the same three as last week and banking on Arsenal beating Manchester United, Aubameyang and Gabriel Jesus form a powerful duo up front with the support of value striker Jordan Ayew.
That's all for this week - good luck!
