Best FPL tips GW16 Premier League 2025-26

Welcome to Gameweek 16 edition of top 5 best FPL tips for this week. GW16 has tons of exciting fixtures, and looks to be one of those Gameweeks where the average FPL score might end up being huge. The reason is simple, most Premier League games this weekend look like they have lots of goals written in it. Thus, it is important that you make the right decisions in your final FPL lineup before the transfer deadline. This is where we'll be helping you out.. Let's not waste any more time then, scroll down below to find out our top 5 best FPL tips for this weekend .


Top 5 best FPL tips this weekend - Gameweek 16 (GW16)

Be careful with Cole Palmer and other Chelsea players in your FPL team Chelsea are currently in horrible form at the moment. Enzo Maresca's side has now gone from unlikely title challengers to now 5th in the league. Everton, on the hand, have been impressive in recent games. Thus, it would be a bit of a risk to transfer Chelsea players for Gameweek 16 especially Cole Palmer considering his price. Our suggestion is only play them if you already have them in your FPL team.


This is the week to do Arsenal triple-up in Fantasy Premier League

Wolves are the worst team in the Premier League right now. In fact, even Ruben Amorim's underwhelming Manchester United side managed to score 4 past them. So it's anyone's guess what Arsenal might do to them in GW16. We expect nothing less than a thrashing here, and the only question is how many goals the Gunners will end up scoring. If you're ever going to triple-up on a team in FPL this season, Arsenal vs Wolves at home is the one to do it.


Erling Haaland might not necessarily be the best FPL captain for this week

The fixtures in Gameweek 16 are brilliant for many teams. Although Erling Haaland is still our choice as the safest and risk-free FPL captain pick for this week, there are so many other players who could outscore him this Gameweek and thus earn more points than him. The likes of Thiago, Bruno Fernandes, and Bukayo Saka are other attractive FPL captain picks for this week.


Try to include Thiago in your GW16 Fantasy Premier League team

Thiago has exceeded all expectations in the Premier League this season. He has been so impressive that Brentford fans do not miss the likes of Ivan Toney, Bryan Mbeumo, or Yoane Wissa anymore. Brentford face Leeds at home this EPL weekend, and they are a club who always concede a lot of goals. This makes the fixture a really attractive one for Thiago to add another goal or 2 to his already ridiculous number of 11 Premier League goals.


Are Manchester United players worth the risk for Gameweek 16?

The biggest issue with Ruben Amorim's Manchester United this season has been their inconsistency. They end up winning the most unexpected games and lose the ones most expect them to win. Hence it's very tough to predict how they'll perform against Bournemouth. Our suggestion is to avoid buying United players this week, and even bench them if they're already in your FPL team (Unless it's a reliable FPL option like Bruno Fernandes or Bryan Mbeumo).


These were our top 5 best FPL tips for Gameweek 16.That's it from us for now. See you soon for Gameweek 17!
