Fantasy Premier League managers will shift their focus to Gameweek 17 as second-place Manchester City host the relegation battle against West Ham United.
Erling Haaland or Phil Foden, who are in red-hot form and will be safe choices for the captaincy, while young left-back Nico O’Reilly looks like a budget-friendly defensive option to pick out of the game.
With Arsenal mastering set pieces, Bukayo Saka is another captaincy option as the league leaders travel to Everton, while Jurrien Timber can provide both attacking and defensive points.
Meanwhile, after a thrilling 4-4 draw with Manchester United, Bournemouth will host Burnley hoping to keep a clean sheet. Marcos Senesi and Antoine Semenyo are sensible choices from Cherries’ squad.
Brentford’s defender Michael Kayode could potentially ensure clean sheets when the Bees take on bottom-placed Wolverhamptom Wanderers.
