5. Aaron Wan Bissaka – West Ham | 77 points | £4.4m
It has been a big comeback season from Aaron Wan Bissaka. The jury was always out on him during his stint at Manchester United. His lack of ability on the ball was pointed out and criticized. But since moving to West Ham in the summer, he has looked like a player reborn. His attacking contributions have increased as well and the Englishman also demonstrated his brilliant dribbling and provided an assist against Arsenal recently. He has 2 goals and 2 assists to his name so far. West Ham play Leicester City this week.
4. Antonee Robinson – Fulham | 91 points | £5.1m
Antonee Robinson has become one of the most exciting and reliable wide defenders in the Premier League this season. In Fantasy Premier League, he is rated highly among defenders for total points earned. The American showcases impressive speed, sprinting up and down the wing while also gathering a significant number of Bonus Points in the game. He is not only a competent defender; his offensive output includes up to 10 assists this season. Fulham has begun their season very strongly and is currently positioned 8th. This weekend, they are set to compete against Wolves, which is why he features in this list.
3. Reece James – Chelsea | 22 points | £4.8m
The situation regarding Reece James is truly unfortunate. When he is on the field, there are undeniably very few questions about his standing as one of the top players in his position globally. However, that is the issue; he seldom plays. The injury-plagued Chelsea defender appears to encounter obstacle after obstacle. At this moment, though, he is healthy and performing remarkably well. Since his return, he has already managed to find the back of the net. There are no questions about his ability, only his physical fitness. This week, Chelsea faces a weak Southampton squad, so he might be primed to score some crucial points.
2. Trent Alexander-Arnold – Liverpool | 127 points | £7.4m
Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to be accessible for each gameweek, primarily due to his reputation as one of the finest Fantasy Premier League assets ever. Among defenders, he is regarded as one of the most significant in terms of his cost and the points he has earned. With rumors indicating that he may have accepted a transfer to Real Madrid on a free this summer, it is unclear how the Liverpool fans will respond to him going forward. Nevertheless, he has provided strong performances in matches, contributing to 7 goals. The points could potentially come in again this weekend in a challenging match against Newcastle United, who have frequently faced difficulties this season as Liverpool aims to maintain their excellent performance this season and remain at the top of the standings. He also needs a reputation boost, given he was dribbled past 12 times against Manchester City, a Premier League record.
1. Gabriel – Arsenal | 102 points | £6.3m
Gabriel has been one of the most significant positives for Arsenal this season. In recent seasons, Arsenal’s defensive line has been among the most robust in Europe, and Gabriel has been a major factor in that, guiding their defence from the forefront. He has excluded high-profile signings from the lineup while already contributing to crucial goals against top teams. He is offered at great value in Fantasy Premier League, and it is recommended to include someone from Arsenal’s strong defence. The Gunners are set to face Nottingham Forest this week. The Brazilian is without a doubt one of the best in the league.
As we turn our attention to Gameweek 27, the Premier League has a thrilling set of fixtures lined up. The highlight of the weekend is the game between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur. The latter side are improving of late and have always been a thorn in the side of Pep Guardiola’s team. City on the other hand are finding it very difficult to leave their slump in form.
The deadline for GW27 is on 25th February.
