It’s now a slalom toward the finish line for Premier League teams, with each opportunity to earn points needed to be treated as vital. But, there’s also the matter of injuries, suspensions and, in some cases, poor morale.

All of that, I think, adds some nice spice when it comes to creating your fantasy Football Premier League team. I know you have plenty of questions, but I have some likely answers. Here’s a look at players who, in Round 2,4, should improve your fantasy team, and ones that might be best avoided.

These Are the Players You Need for Premier League Fantasy Football for Round 24!

Is the UCL simply easier for English teams? What does that say about Chelsea, Liverpool or Newcastle?

I think that there’s a good reason to pick a number of Chelsea players as the Blues take on ailing West Ham. Pedro is in fine form. Garnacho‘s form is coming together. Sanchez and James are always good picks. Cucurella is suspended.

Does that optimism extend to Liverpool? Newcastle should be a tough opponent. In picking players, I’d stick to the consistent performers like Gravenberch, Van Dijk, Alisson, as well as Burn, Trippier, and Tonali. This might not be a match that contains plenty of goal-scoring.

Arsenal desperately needs to put the minds of fans at ease with the performance against Leeds. However, recent displays don’t encourage too much confidence. Gabriel, Rice and Odegaard are nearly always good picks. Note that Saliba should be out for this one.

Tottenham taking on Manchester City is a pretty mysterious affair as well. Injuries abound for Guardiola’s side, but you can usually depend on Silva and Haaland. Meanwhile, Guehi and Semenyo will want to impress at their new clubs, and I rarely build an EPL fantasy team without Romero and Ven unless they’re injured.

Is Manchester United vs. Fulham a job interview for Marco Silva? Is it an extra test for Michael Carrick on the way to becoming a full-time United boss? Either way, this one looks like a contested affair. Goalie Lammens has been proving doubters wrong, and being a free card in FootballCoin should make him a good pick.

The midfield defensive partnership between Casemiro and Mainoo is suddenly working fine despite Ruben Amorim-powered fear-mongering. Mbeumo and Dalot are good picks. Meanwhile, Joachim, Berge, Smith Rowe and Wilson should rack up points in fantasy football regardless of the game’s result.

The Players You Need to Avoid in Round 24!

Maguire, Martinez and Shaw look revitalised under new management. But can old errors still sneak in? I wouldn’t take the chance.

I’d ditch the Liverpool and Newcastle forward for this one. Salah, Wirtz, Ekitike, Gakpo, Wissa, or Gordon might not shine if this turns into a midfield battle. You might also have a good idea of what I think about Kerkez or Szboszlai playing as a full-back.

Arsenal’s attackers have been disappointing lately, and Leeds feels like just the kind of team they won’t want to meet right now. Saka, Havertz, Trossard, Zubimendi are not players I’d pick in fantasy football right now.

There are also notable injuries and suspensions worth tracking, including Xhaka, Zirkzee, Gvardiol, Kovacic, Doku, Isak, M. Keane, Wharton, Cucurella, and Saliba.
