<h2></h2>
<h3>Alessia Russo (£800,000) &#8211; Arsenal</h3>
Fixture: Chelsea (a)
ShePlays Fantasy Managers may be quick to load their teams with Chelsea players and remove their Arsenal players, given Chelsea are top of the table. 
However, Alessia Russo may be a differential pick this round, with many potential avoiding the Arsenal striker in favour of “easier” matchups. 
In her last 5 matches against Chelsea since returning to the WSL from America, Russo has scored 4 goals. 
Her speed and smart runs in behind Chelsea’s defence were a problem last time out, with excellent service from the likes of Lia Wälti and Kim Little. 
Interestingly, Chelsea have only kept one clean sheet when playing at Stamford Bridge this season (6 matches so far). 
There is a minimal difference in pitch size between Chelsea’ regular home ground of Kingsmeadow, so perhaps the change of environment and crowd could impact the team here. 
There is also likely to be a large away crowd, with Arsenal selling out the Emirates twice this season and two other crowds of 50,000 plus.
In previous seasons, Russo’s goals have exceeded her xG. This season her goals (6) are lagging behind her xG (6.8) so history and the law of averages suggest that she is due for a goal soon. 
Russo has also created an impressive 42 chances this season. 
Additionally, Arsenal have had the weekend off, and 9 days since their last match in the FA WSL Cup against Aston Villa. 
Comparatively, this match will be Chelsea’s 3rd match in 8 days and with another midweek fixture in the Champions League Quarter-Final on Tuesday 19 March away at Ajax. 
Emma Hayes may look to manage minutes ahead of the Champions League match-up, as she has often noted it is the only trophy missing from her cabinet.

<h3></h3>
<h3>Courtney Brosnan (£250,000) &#8211; Everton</h3>
Fixture: Aston Villa (H)
Courtney Brosnan could be a great differential pick for Round 16. 
Brosnan has the third highest shot saving percentage of all WSL goalkeepers, at 74.4% behind only Hannah Hampton of Chelsea and Khiara Keating of Manchester City. 
She’s also made the most saves so far this season, with 61. Comparatively, Keating has saved 20 less at 41, and Hampton has only saved 15!
Brosnan is great against set-pieces, only allowing 1 goal from corners or free kicks. She has also claimed 11 crosses (4th in the league). 
Last time out against Aston Villa, Brosnan saved 7 out of 8 shots, helping her side to a 2-1 victory. 
Villa have recently been without star striker Rachel Daly for 3 WSL matches while she served a suspension. 
Daly returned in the FA WSL Cup match against Arsenal, but was largely ineffective, with Villa only having 3 shots (1 on target) compared to Arsenal’s 14 shots (6 on target).
<h3></h3>
<h3>Nikita Parris (£450,000) &#8211; Manchester United</h3>
Fixture: Bristol City (H)
Over the course of this season, Nikita Parris has become a great choice for Fantasy managers. 
Parris has been heavily involved in attack for Manchester United, and scoring goals in the process, with eight so far this season.
She has scored these goals despite limited game time too, with an average of 0.72 goals per 90 minutes. 
This weekend, Manchester United have a favourable fixture against Bristol City at home. 
Parris is a player who is familiar with scoring against Bristol City. In their clash earlier in the season, Parris scored the second Manchester United goal to secure a 2-0 win. She also had 15 attacking carries of the ball in this match.
Going into the return fixture this weekend, Parris will hope to use this experience to her advantage to win three points for her side.
<div id="attachment_62812" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-62812" class="wp-image-62812 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/GettyImages-1984931421.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="663" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/GettyImages-1984931421.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/GettyImages-1984931421-300x194.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/GettyImages-1984931421-768x497.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/GettyImages-1984931421-610x395.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" />Nikita Parris.

<h3></h3>
<h3>Niamh Fahey (£225,000) &#8211; Liverpool</h3>
Fixture: West Ham (H)
Niamh Fahey has come back from her injury strongly.
 The Liverpool captain has started the last four WSL matches in the centre of Liverpool’s 3 back system.
 In her starts, she has averaged 5.25 points per match. 
Fahey’s per 90 <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1" title="FPL Stats by OPTA - Player and Team Stats">stats</a> are some of the best of the Liverpool defenders, averaging 4.5 tackles and intercepts per 90, and her clearances per 90 are third in the squad too, with 4.5 per 90. 
Compared to other centre-backs, in the last 365 days, Fahey is in the 99th percentile of interceptions, 94th percentile of blocks, and 90th percentile of aerial duels won. 
She also ranks highly in progressive passes received, pass completion and clearances.
Liverpool face West Ham at home in Round 16. In this fixture last season, Liverpool defeated West Ham 2-0, with Fahey playing the full 90, racking up 4 tackles and intercepts, as well as 6 clearances. 
<h3></h3>
<h3>Mary Fowler (£300,000) &#8211; Manchester City</h3>
Fixture: Brighton and Hove Albion (a)
Manchester City have some obvious picks up top, including Khadija Shaw, Chloe Kelly and Lauren Hemp, who are all 800K. 
Although Fowler hasn’t started in recent WSL matches, she started midweek in the FA Cup match against Tottenham, scoring in the 6th minute. 
In this match, City’s star striker Khadjia Shaw went off injured. With no updates from the club, fantasy managers may wish to take the gamble on Fowler, as she is Shaw’s natural replacement. 
In the home fixture against Brighton earlier in the season, Fowler started and recorded 4 shots, with 2 on target. 
She also created a season high nine shot creating actions against Brighton. 
Brighton defeated City 1-0 in the reverse fixture, but City are on a run of two losses, and have a point to prove if they want to stay in the hunt for the WSL title.
&nbsp;
<h3>Ashleigh Neville (£450,000) &#8211; Spurs</h3>
Fixture: Leicester (H)
Tottenham Hotspur haven&#8217;t lost to Leicester in their five previous WSL match ups, winning four while outscoring the Foxes 7-2, and left-back Ashleigh Neville has played an influential part in these games. 
In the previous round during Tottenham&#8217;s WSL match against Arsenal, Neville had a pass completion rate of 86.7%
Leicester City have an interim manager at the helm this weekend, which could have an effect on the performance of the Foxes. 
Leicester currently sit seventh in the WSL table, so a defeat for Tottenham in this one would leave them level on points with their opponents.
