After a scintillating UEFA Champions League tie, Premier League is next in line to add more spark and flair with their upcoming set of fixtures. December in terms of football is the busiest month in terms of the number of games a team has to play. Each team looks to capitalize on the maximum number of features. Squad rotation is more apparent as manager’s looks to safeguard their players from any sort of injury.
With this here are the top 5 picks before tomorrow’s deadline.
5) Connor Gallagher (6.0m) Crystal Palace v Aston Villa
Raised through the academy of Chelsea the young English midfielder has made a special place in the hearts of the Eagles. His fanatics against Manchester City are still fresh in the minds of Crystal Palace fans. His energy and dynamism in the centre of the field have been crucial for Crystal Palace. Connor lies in the heart of the attacking style of Crystal Palace. He has gathered 67 points till now and holds a 25.4% ownership in the market. It won’t be a surprise to see Connor on the scoresheet considering his recent form of play.
4) Joao Cancelo (6.6m) Manchester City v West Ham United
Arguably the best full-back in the Premier League. Cancelo has been sensational from day 1, his versatility and attacking patterns have been significant in City’ goal-scoring ability. His defensive skill set is one of the prime reasons for considering City’s defence as a formidable fortress. His current ownership in the market is 33.4% and in the past 12 weeks, he has accumulated 79 points which is the highest amount of points a defender has managed to bag in. His presence on either flank will surely create sparks on both fronts.
3) Maxwel Cornet (6.1m) Burnley v Tottenham
Currently one of the most underrated players who has been unable to achieve the limelight he deserves. Maxwel Cornet has enjoyed his life in the Premier League after a switch from Lyon. He has found the net 5 times in 7 Premier League appearances. His performances for Burnley have somehow stayed out of the radar. His explosiveness on the left side can cause all sorts of trouble for Tottenham who are still adjusting to the new life under Conte. He is currently owned by 2.4% but Cornet is a black horse who can turn the fortune of any manager.
2) Gabriel Jesus (8.7m) Manchester City v West Ham United
After his late winner from the bench against PSG, Jesus has managed to gather some attention for his recent form. His shift from striker to a winger has been a major factor in the progress he has made this season. With 2 goals and 5 assists in 10 games, Gabriel Jesus is enjoying his football with Manchester City. After the mid-week game, Pep will look to rotate his team and Gabriel Jesus is most likely to be in contention to make the team list. Jesus holds 9.8% ownership in the market with a total of 50 points earned in this season.
1) Mohamed Salah (13.0m) Liverpool v Southampton
The Egyptian king has ruled the Premier League since the day he stepped his foot on the English soil. The current top scorer of the league with 11 goals under his name Salah has simply been sublime for Liverpool. He is a constant performer for the Merseyside team and a player who is the backbone of Liverpool’s attacking threat. He holds 72.3% ownership; Salah has registered 125 points this season. The Egyptian wonder is a must to have in the team.
