Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 21 kicks off this Saturday, January 21, with Liverpool and Chelsea locking horns in the early kick-off. That means the deadline is set for 11:00 (GMT).
Following Liverpool and Chelsea’s clash, Man City host Wolves before Arsenal and Man Utd go head-to-head on Sunday. Fulham and Tottenham will then wrap up Gameweek 21 on Monday night.
Before we go over the best FPL players for GW21, let’s check out the fixtures.
It is worth noting that Arsenal and Man City have a Double Gameweek on the horizon, with both sides playing twice in DGW23. Be sure to keep that in mind when making your FPL transfers this week.
Without further ado, here are the best players for FPL GW21.
With low-scoring Wolves heading to the Etihad, Man City have the best clean sheets odds for GW21 by some distance – making Ederson (Man City) a great pick between the sticks.
Nick Pope (Newcastle) and Lukasz Fabianski (West Ham) are also favoured to keep a clean sheet this weekend. Pope has achieved 11 shutouts in 19 Premier League games this season, conceding just 11 goals along the way.
Once again, Kieran Tripper (Newcastle) and Dan Burn (Newcastle) were the highest-scoring defenders in the previous round. Ben White (Arsenal) and Thiago Silva (Chelsea) are also top picks at the moment.
If you’re looking for in-form defender differentials, Serge Aurier (Nottm Forest) and Ben Mee (Brentford) are both worth considering. Aurier has picked up one goal and two clean sheets across the past three Gameweeks.
Midfielders
Solly March (Brighton), Riyad Mahrez (Man City) and Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd) each claimed a whopping 19 points in GW20, while James Ward-Prowse (Southampton) amassed a more than respectable 15.
Kevin De Bruyne (Man City) could run riot against Wolves after missing Thursday’s clash with Tottenham. Marcus Rashford (Man Utd) and Martin Odegaard (Arsenal) are also excellent picks right now.
Brennan Johnson (Nottm Forest) was the highest-scoring forward in the previous round, notching two goals and three bonus points. The Welshman will be confident of doing the same against struggling Bournemouth this weekend.
Erling Haaland (Man City) ended his mini goal drought against Spurs, while Harry Kane (Tottenham), Ivan Toney (Brentford) and Aleksandar Mitrovic (Fulham) are all favoured to score in GW21.
