Gameweek 16 Fixtures

Here is a list of fixtures playing in Gameweek 16. This can be a great start when looking to make your decisions.

Who are the best teams to buy from this week?

Crystal Palace v Liverpool – Liverpool come into the match in great defensive and offensive form. They come up against a Crystal Palace side who have lost three of their last four matches. Because of this buying Liverpool defenders and attackers could be hugely rewarding.

Brighton v Burnley – Brighton have a meeting with a poor newly promoted Burnley next up. With that in mind snapping up a Brighton attacker could beneficial.

Everton v Chelsea – Chelsea have been producing some of the best attacking stats lately. Buying one one of the Chelsea attackers could be a great move this week.

Fulham v West Ham – West Ham are another side scoring plenty of goals. Fulham have been conceding some poor defensive stats this season so bringing a West Ham attacker into your teams could work wonders.

Luton v Manchester City – Manchester City rank the best for a lot of the attacking stats this season. Luton have also been very poor recently so buying into the Manchester City attack and defence could bring in plenty of points.

The Best Captain for Gameweek 16

Erling Haaland is the best captain for the new round. He is producing the best attacking stats in the league and comes up against a Luton side conceding the worst defensive stats recently. He is also in a great run of form and takes his sides penalties.

Should I use a chip this week?

No. There are much better times to use your chips. You will likely need your chips in the blank and double Gameweeks ahead. A blank Gameweek is when some teams do not have a fixture. A double Gameweek is where a team has two fixtures in that particular week meaning players have double the potential for points.
