The Ones To Buy This Week - Fantasy Premier League
Raheem Sterling - M, Man City (Price: 9.1M)
It's clear at this point in the season that Raheem Sterling is not only matchup-proof, but an elite weekly performer despite the fact that Man City have already won the title. With a hat trick of assists last week, Sterling continued his stretch of good form that has lasted him throughout the season. The electric English winger has 18 goals and 17 assists on the season and is one of the best players in the league, making him a must-own in FPL squads to close out the season, especially with Manchester City having a double fixture in GW37. Sterling's team plays Huddersfield, Brighton, and Southampton in its final three games. Although Leroy Sane and Bernardo Silva still could edge out some of Sterling's minutes, it is most likely (as seen in the past few weeks) that Sterling will be involved regardless of who starts opposite him. If you are considering selling Sterling, don't - he is a true difference maker at an already loaded position group.
Alfie Mawson - D, Swansea (Price: 5.1M)
This is a bit of an upside play, as Swansea are not known for their stout defending and have generally had a poor season to this point. However, Mawson has stood out and has performed very nicely throughout the season, accumulating 108 fantasy points to this date. Swansea also has a very easy schedule to close out the season, facing Bournemouth, Southampton, and Stoke, meaning the opportunity for clean sheets will be there for Mawson and the rest of the Swansea defenders. Consider Mawson a top-level defender based on his performances up to this point in the season and Swansea's schedule to finish out the year - get him while you still can (before his DGW).
Keep Your Eye On Him
Paul Pogba - M, Man United (Price: 7.9M)
Although his relationship with manager Jose Mourinho is strained at best, Pogba has forced himself back into the starting lineup. With three goals and an assist in his last four games, Pogba has been the spearhead for Manchester United's attacking dominance in recent weeks. With games against Brighton, West Ham, and Watford in GW37 and GW38, Pogba has a chance to continue his good form, making him a nice value add to finish the season. Pogba is valued at just under 8 million, making him a nice play if you want to bolster your front line and need to give up a top level midfielder to do so.
Offload Him Now
Andrew Robertson (Again!) - D, Liverpool (5.1M)
Still owned by almost 10% of fantasy owners, Robertson did not play over the weekend due to Liverpool's Champions League involvement this week. 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: Cezar Azpilicueta (6.9M), Kyle Walker (6.6M), Alfie Mawson (5.1M)
MF: Raheem Sterling (9.1M), Eden Hazard (10.5M), Paul Pogba (7.9M), Henrikh Mkhitaryan (7.7M)
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. Furthermore, taking advantage of the double gameweek means that every player has two matchups going into GW37 - you should have plenty of points to go around and several easy matchups for the top players in order to maximize your points in one of the final games in the season.
That's all for this week - good luck!
