The FPL Banger boys are back with their Fantasy Premier League tips for Week 17, selecting their top picks and best captain choice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Welcome to a new series for the 2024\/25 season, provided by Siva & Sam, the twisted minds behind the FPL<\/a> Banger Podcast.<\/p>\n

Alexander Isak and David Raya made our selection the last time out, but so did Brennan Johnson. Let\u2019s see if we can do a little better this week.<\/p>\n

FPL Banger’s Week 17 Tips<\/h2>\n

BEST CAPTAIN<\/h3>\n

Mohamed Salah (\u00a313.4m) \u2013 Tottenham (A)<\/h4>\n

I would love to be less boring with captaincy and pick someone like Jorgen Strand Larsen or Alex Iwobi. However, Salah is the clear standout pick.<\/p>\n

The most consistent asset in FPL travels to a Spurs side who concede goals for fun and just made it through a gruelling 4-3 midweek win over Manchester United, while Salah & co had the week off.<\/p>\n

Not to mention that Spurs\u2019 first choice\/only choice at left back, Destiny Udogie, is out injured \u2013 Salah against Djed Spence feels like a mismatch for the ages.<\/p>\n

TOP PICKS<\/h3>\n

David Raya (\u00a35.6m) \u2013 Crystal\u00a0Palace (A)<\/h4>\n

People might take a look at Arsenal conceding twice to Palace midweek in the EFL Cup and assume that Arsenal defence can be got at. But things are a whole lot different when William Saliba and Gabriel start.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m expecting a much more composed and controlled performance this time around at Selhurst Park from the Gunners with their regular central defensive partnership back in the XI.<\/p>\n

Antonee Robinson (\u00a34.8m) \u2013 Southampton (H)<\/h4>\n

I\u2019ve been watching Antonee Robinson\u2019s career with great interest. Nicknamed \u201cJedi\u201d, this Star Wars fan has already notched 6 assists this season, and it only made sense for me to force him into my FPL team.<\/p>\n

With Ait-Nouri picking up a needless red card last week, Robinson comes into GW17 as the perfect option to bring balance to our FPL teams. And points. Unlimited points. He is the chosen one. You must see it.<\/p>\n

Bryan Mbeumo (\u00a37.6m) \u2013\u00a0Nottingham Forest (H)<\/h4>\n

Have you ever had someone in your life who loved you completely, who did everything you wanted, and then for some silly reason you let them go?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s Bryan Mbeumo for me. I had him since GW1, watched him haul every other week, and then I sold him just because of some made-up red boxes on the FPL app.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Mbeumo has returned an average of 11 points over the last 2 gameweeks. And he\u2019s back at home this week, where he has only blanked once all season. Forgive me Bryan, for doubting you. Now just give me my red arrow this week.<\/p>\n

Alexander Isak (\u00a38.7m) \u2013 Ipswich (A)<\/h4>\n

A few weeks ago I sold Alexander Isak in a fit of rage after he was substituted off with an injury against Crystal Palace. To be fair, Eddie Howe did give an interview in which he suggested that Isak might be out for some time, so of course I should have realised that meant he was perfectly fine.<\/p>\n

Smash cut to last week, and I took the difficult decision to bring Isak back in against Leicester, and thankfully he didn\u2019t disappoint, scoring 11 points in a thumping 4-0 win against last season\u2019s Championship winners.<\/p>\n

This week Isak travels to Portman Road to play the team that finished 2nd in the Championship last season. Ipswich have kept just 1 clean sheet all season, and that was against Brighton some 3 months ago. Let\u2019s have another double-digit haul, Alex.<\/p>\n
