When Munoz returns from suspension in Gameweek 18, he\u2019s expected to be a popular choice in defence. If you\u2019re looking to invest in a reliable backline, Palace offer great value.<\/p>\n<h4>Everton\u2019s Defensive Strength: Avoid Captaining Palmer<\/h4>\n<p>Surprisingly, Everton rank <strong>3rd for xGC<\/strong>, proving how solid defensively they are under Sean Dyche. After holding Arsenal to a goalless draw, captaining Chelsea&#8217;s Cole Palmer against them may not be the wisest choice this week.<\/p>\n<h4>Bournemouth\u2019s Attacking Surge: Evanilson\u2019s Appeal<\/h4>\n<p>Bournemouth have stormed to the top of the charts for <strong>expected goals (xG)<\/strong>, making their attackers worth considering. If <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/matheus-cunha-charged-misconduct-wolves-ipswich\/\">Matheus Cunha<\/a> serves a ban before the weekend, <strong>Evanilson<\/strong> is a standout replacement option.<\/p>\n<h4>Newcastle\u2019s Lewis Hall: A Creative Defender<\/h4>\n<p>With <strong>8 chances created<\/strong> over the last four gameweeks, Lewis Hall is emerging as a budget-friendly replacement for the suspended <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/gianni-fpl-tips-for-gameweek-17\/\">Rayan A\u00eft-Nouri<\/a>. If you\u2019re in the market for an attacking defender, Hall should be on your radar.<\/p>\n<h4>Milenkovic\u2019s Threat in the Box<\/h4>\n<p>Nottingham Forest\u2019s Milenkovic has had <strong>7 goal attempts in the box<\/strong>, the most among defenders. For managers seeking an attacking defensive option, he could be a game-changer.<\/p>\n<h4>Mitoma and Palmer: Creative Midfielders<\/h4>\n<p>Brighton\u2019s Mitoma has created <strong>11 chances<\/strong>, second only to Cole Palmer, who has 12. Both players remain top picks for managers looking to add creativity to their midfield.<\/p>\n<h4>Isak: The Forward You Can\u2019t Ignore<\/h4>\n<p>Alexander Isak has been sensational, with <strong>11 chances created, 9 goal attempts<\/strong>, and a league-high <strong>3.15 expected goal involvement (xGI)<\/strong> among forwards. If you can bring him into your team, he\u2019s a must-have for Gameweek 17.<\/p>\n<h4>Jackson\u2019s Shooting Form and Chelsea\u2019s Fixture Goldmine<\/h4>\n<p>Chelsea\u2019s Jackson has registered <strong>12 shots in the box<\/strong>, and with Chelsea boasting the best fixtures for the next four gameweeks, he is primed for big returns. Managers looking for a differential striker should give Jackson serious consideration.<\/p>\n<p>These standout stats reveal a host of opportunities for FPL managers ahead of Gameweek 17.<\/p>\n<p>Target these players and teams based on the insights above, and good luck in your quest for green arrows!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FPL General is back with a round of FPL tips for Gameweek 17, focusing on the standout stats from the last four gameweeks.
