Best FPL tips this week - Gameweek 21 (GW21)

Chelsea and Manchester United players are a safe FPL option due to new manager bounce

The new manager bounce is a term in football that basically means a team who were in poor form will suddenly start to play well for their next games after the announcement of a new manager. This looks likely in the case of both Chelsea and Manchester United, who have sacked Enzo Maresca and Ruben Amorim respectively. Thus, we feel Manchester United and Chelsea players would be an attractive choice in FPL at least for the short term.


Jack Grealish is could be a brilliant underrated FPL midfielder for this week

Jack Grealish was one of the best players on the field despite his Everton side losing 2-4 to Brentford at home. He was directly involved in both the gives, as he was the assist provider. Everton face Wolves at home next, which looks to be an easy win for them. Thus, Grealish is an excellent pick that could result in huge points, and he also has a budget-friendly price as well.


It would be a wise decision to sell or bench Liverpool players in FPL for Gameweek 21

Arne Slot's Liverpool side have been extremely lucky remaining undefeated for a long time, as their performances have been simply shocking. The Reds were also helped by the fact that they had an easy run of fixtures. However, that won't be the case in GW21 as they'll be facing League leaders Arsenal. This game has a heavy defeat for Liverpool written all over it, and it's best if you avoid Liverpool players in your FPL.


Newcastle double-up or triple-up looks like an attractive option in FPL this week

Newcastle are in fine form at the moment, with Eddie Howe's men earning back-to-back victories against Burnley and Crystal Palace. They'll next face Leeds at home in GW21 of the Premier League. Leeds are a decent side, but they are very weak in defense and St James' Park is a stadium where the Magpies usually perform brilliantly. Thus, all factors point towards a Newcastle double-up or triple-up being an attractive FPL choice.


Erling Haaland might be the best FPL captain for this week

Erling Haaland hasn't scored in his past few Premier League games, but that looks likely to change as Manchester City will face Brighton at home in Gameweek 21. Brighton are a club who always concede a lot of goals in many games, and thus Haaland has a great chance to score huge FPL points as your captain this week. In case you're looking for alternatives, some suggestions from our side would be the likes of Bukayo Saka or Matheus Cunha.


These were our Best FPL tips for Gameweek 21. Make sure to note all our points before making your final transfer decisions and team selection once the GW21 transfer deadline approaches. .That's it from our side for now. See you soon for Best FPL tips for Gameweek 22.
