Looking at who had the best stats in Gameweek 17 can indicate which players did well. Even if the players who topped the stats didn’t return any points. This can be a good sign that the players were close to returning. FPL managers are always on the lookout for assets that could potentially return in the future. This could help with that.
Erling Haaland
Erling Haaland (£12.2m) sits as the highest scoring and highest owned player in the game. The strikers relentless form tallies up to 20 goals and three assists in just 14 matches so far. Erling Haaland is maintaining some fantastic stats as well and that didn’t change in Gameweek 17.

Aleksander Mitrovic
There were doubts over Aleksander Mitrovic’s (£6.9m) fitness going into Gameweek 17. Because of that, many managers within the community sold the striker ahead of his match against Crystal Palace. However, Mitrovic started the game and inevitably punished his sellers.

He picked up his rewards as he scored, created two assists, picked up three bonus and landed a whopping 15 points in FPL.
Darwin Nunez
The loss through injury of Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz has meant Darwin Nunez (£9m) looks set to maintain his place amongst starting 11. The Reds beat Aston Villa 3-1 in Gameweek 17 and the striker put up some brilliant stats.

Andreas Pereira
It was a big week for Fulham. The newly promoted side dismantled Crystal Palace in their 3-0 win. For that reason, the Fulham players put up some great stats. Another standout selection at Fulham is Andreas Pereira (£4.6m).
