<h2>FPL Gameweek 17 fixtures and odds</h2>
<p>Manchester City have the standout fixture of Gameweek 17.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not often that the odds project nearly three goals for a single team but that&#8217;s the case for City against West Ham &#8211; and they have the joint best chance of a clean sheet too.</p>
<p>Bournemouth are another team to target this week, hosting relegation candidates Burnley.</p>
<p>Arsenal have just one clean sheet in their last six league games but their defensive data remains elite. The Gunners tie City with a 42% chance of a shutout.</p>
<p>Partner site <a href="https://www.notonlyfpl.co.uk/">Not Only FPL</a> tracks the data from Spreadex &#8211; which can be seen in the graphic below. It often changes as the deadline nears.</p>
<h3>🎯<strong>Players to target for goals</strong></h3>

<h2>FPL Gameweek 17 tips: Predicted points and captaincy picks</h2>
<p>The <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI</a> predicted points chart reflects the odds &#8211; <strong>Erling Haaland </strong>is the comfortable leader this week.</p>
<p>When City score, Haaland is often involved. He has scored or assisted 53% of his team&#8217;s goals while on the pitch, a share no other player in the league can match.</p>
<p>If you have the <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/best-fpl-captain-for-gameweek-17">Triple Captain</a> chip left, this week looks like the best opportunity to use it.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Teammate <strong>Phil Foden </strong>has the second best predicted points but is 3.0 behind Haaland.</p>
<p><strong>Antoine Semenyo </strong>takes third thanks to Bournemouth&#8217;s excellent fixture. He is joined by Cherries centre-back <strong>Marcos Senesi </strong>in the top 10.</p>
<div id="attachment_76525" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-76525" class="size-full wp-image-76525" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/GW17-predictions.jpeg" alt="Gameweek 17 odds" width="840" height="690" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/GW17-predictions.jpeg 840w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/GW17-predictions-300x246.jpeg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/GW17-predictions-768x631.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px" /><p id="caption-attachment-76525" class="wp-caption-text">Gameweek 17 predicted points</p></div>
<h2>FPL Gameweek 17 tips: Top transfer targets</h2>
<p>More than 1m managers have brought in <strong>Harry Wilson</strong> after his 16 point haul against Burnley in Gameweek 16.</p>
<p>The Fulham midfielder has less competition after several Fulham players departed for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and plays Nottingham Forest (H) and West Ham (A) in his next two before the Cottagers&#8217; fixtures get tougher.</p>
<p>Two 13 pointers for <strong>Hugo Ekitike </strong>has seen the Liverpool forward catapulted into more than 700,000 teams. Wolves (H) and Leeds (H) come after Spurs (A) this weekend.</p>
<p>On current form, you&#8217;d expect him to get plenty of minutes in the short term ahead of <strong>Alexander Isak</strong>.</p>
<p>Semenyo is the Cherries choice of Hub AI and the masses &#8211; but consider the cheaper <strong>Marcus Tavernier </strong>if your budget can&#8217;t stretch to him. He&#8217;s one of our top <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/best-fpl-differentials-for-gameweek-17-2025-26">differentials</a> this week alongside another player growing in popularity, <strong>Rayan Cherki</strong>.</p>

<div id="attachment_76546" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-76546" class="size-full wp-image-76546" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/GW17-transfers.jpeg" alt="Top transfers in ahead of Gameweek 17" width="840" height="690" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/GW17-transfers.jpeg 840w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/GW17-transfers-300x246.jpeg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/GW17-transfers-768x631.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px" /><p id="caption-attachment-76546" class="wp-caption-text">Top transfers in ahead of Gameweek 17</p></div>
<h2>FPL Gameweek 17 team news: Thiago doubt</h2>
<p>There&#8217;s not many high-profile injury issues to deal with this week but <strong>Igor Thiago </strong>is a doubt for Brentford&#8217;s game against Wolves (A).</p>
<p>The Brazilian missed the Bees&#8217; midweek Carabao Cup tie with a knock and it&#8217;s unclear whether he&#8217;ll be available to face the league&#8217;s bottom side.</p>
<p>Given the strength of the fixture, holding Thiago looks sensible unless he&#8217;s definitely ruled out &#8211; providing you have a good first substitute on the bench.</p>
<p>But Thiago could soon make way for Ekitike or even <strong>Jarrod Bowen</strong>, who should be nailed for minutes over the busy Christmas period and has a good fixture run.</p>
