<h2><strong>Best FPL Players for Gameweek 17</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>Mohamed Salah (£13.4m) – Liverpool</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Spurs (A)</strong></p>
<p>Mohamed Salah continues to lead the FPL points charts and managed an assist last gameweek even with Liverpool down to 10 men.</p>
<p>Liverpool have a strong fixture from an attacking point of view as they take on Spurs. Ange Postecoglou's side is always a good matchup for opposition attackers and the game always has the potential to be high scoring.</p>
<p>Arne Slot's side have scored 29 goals (third) with an xG of 28.62 (fourth) so I don't see them having any trouble breaching Spurs' backline.</p>
<p>They are actually the favourites to score 2.5+ goals (44%) in Gameweek 17.</p>
<p>Salah is at 47 % to score at any time and he will no doubt get plenty of chances in this game.</p>
<p>According to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI</a> he is the joint highest predicted scorer (7.1 points) next gameweek.</p>

<h3><strong>Alexander Isak (£8.7m) – Newcastle United</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Ipswich (A)</strong></p>
<p>Alexander Isak is on a great run of form at the moment with three goals and two assists in his last three.</p>
<p>Newcastle United have scored nine goals in their last three games and have shown they can turn it on with the quality of players they have.</p>
<p>They have another good fixture this week as they take on Ipswich who have conceded the fifth most goals (27) and have the second worst xGC (31.7) in the league.</p>
<p>The Toon will be heavy favourites for this and Isak is going to be the one getting the chances.</p>
<p>The Swedish international is nailed to start and will be first choice penalty taker with teammate <strong>Callum Wilson</strong> out injured again.</p>
<p>Isak is their talisman and he is the third favourite to score at any time (48%).</p>
<p>He is also the third highest predicted scoring player (6.5 points) according to <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI</a>.</p>

<h3><strong>Cole Palmer (£11.1m) - Chelsea</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Everton (A)</strong></p>
<p>Cole Palmer has 11 goals and seven assists, and despite his blank last gameweek is still among the best captaincy options.</p>
<p>Chelsea have looked fantastic this season and have to be considered title challengers now.</p>
<p>They have scored the most goals (35) and also have the best xG (31.69).</p>
<p>They will be too strong for this struggling Everton side and will no doubt add to the above tallies.</p>
<p>Cole Palmer is one of the best assets in the game - he can score, assist and is the first choice penalty taker.</p>
<p>Enzo Maresca's side are the third favourites to score 2.5+ goals (36%) in Gameweek 17.</p>
<p>Everything points towards a comprehensive Chelsea win here, and Palmer is likely to be involved in one way or another.</p>
<p>He is at 39% to score at any time and <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI</a> ranks him as the joint highest predicted scoring player (7.1 points) for Gameweek 17.</p>

<h3><strong>Bruno Fernandes (£8.4m) – Manchester United</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Bournemouth (H)</strong></p>
<p>Bruno Fernandes has really picked up in form since the arrival of the new manager.</p>
<p>The Portuguese has two goals in his last two, netting four times with six assists over the course of the season.</p>
<p>Manchester United come up against Bournemouth (H) in Gameweek 17 who have actually been a good side this season.</p>
<p>However with home advantage, I can see United scoring a few here and Fernandes is the one pulling the strings in that team.</p>
<p>Ruben Amorim's side clearly are improving, and although they are still a bit inconsistent they are still scoring goals.</p>
<p>Fernandes is one of the most reliable options in the game – he will play 90 minutes most weeks, is on penalties and set-pieces, and has good goal and assist threat.</p>
<div id="attachment_69358" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-69358" class="size-full wp-image-69358" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/FFStuffImage-2024-12-16T170623.862.jpg" alt="Bruno Fernandes Stats" width="798" height="650" /></p>

<h3><strong>Bukayo Saka (£10.3m) - Arsenal</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Crystal Palace (A)</strong></p>
<p>Bukayo Saka has now blanked in his last three games, but I wouldn't let this worry you in terms of his future returns.</p>
<p>He is still very much one of the best players and FPL options in the game.</p>
<p>Arsenal have a tricky match against Crystal Palace (A) in Gameweek 17. The Gunners have only managed three goals in their last three but this rate of scoring won't continue.</p>
<p>Over the season they have scored the third most goals (29) with an xG of 26.48 (sixth) and they are still likely to score more multiple goals in this game.</p>
<p>Saka not only has goals but his assist threat is one of the best in the league.</p>
<p>He has five goals and 11 assists, and with him being on set-pieces and penalties he is simply one of the most reliable assets in the game.</p>
<p>The England international is at 31% to score at any time, and is the fourth highest predicted scoring player overall (6.4 points) in Gameweek 17 according to <strong><a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI.</a></strong></p>
<div id="attachment_69359" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-69359" class="size-full wp-image-69359" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/FFStuffImage-2024-12-16T171754.284.jpg" alt="Bukayo Saka Stats" width="798" height="650" /></p>
