The general consensus seems to be that, this year, any team can beat any other team in the Premier League. Well, how does that inflation of quality help you get your fantasy football team in winning form?
I’ve got some advice ahead of Round 30 of the EPL, and you may find this hard to hear. I do think, however, that these picks will improve your fantasy football team selection.

These Are the Players You Need for Premier League Fantasy Football for Round 30!
The “It’s Too Good Not to Pick This Week” Picks
I start, as always, with the easy pickings. And when I do this, I rarely get the opportunity to speak about Bournemouth.
But, I think you can see a lot of The Cherries in your fantasy football team this weekend. Playing Burnley right now is a real opportunity. Petrovic looks sound in goal and will get to put in a shift to keep the clean sheet.
Evanilson and Tavernier are attacking options worth considering ahead of more famous names. And, defenders Hill, Senesi, and rookie Jimenez have been good across the campaign. The latter, in particular, is a great budget choice.
Moving on, Liverpool’s a sorry sight. But not as much as Tottenham, I reckon. Taking advantage of others’ misery is the way to get your fantasy football team moving. Mac Allister, Szoboszlai and Ekitike will try to paper over their poor stats with a strong performance against Spurs.
The “Can’t Do It Without You” Picks
Let’s move over to the Unavoidable Stars section.
Arsenal’s latter part of the season is characterised by clinical precision and getting away with the three points as neatly as possible. Everton, on the other hand, has a strong defence.
I like Saka, Rice and Eze for the midfielder roles. Saliba and Gabriel rarely disappoint. I also think that Mykolenko, Tarkowski, Gueye, and Dewsbury–Hall have had great campaigns, flown under the radar and deserve a shout.
Manchester City also needs a cynical three-pointer against West Ham. With better pass delivery, Haaland is still the best attacking pick in EPL fantasy football. Meanwhile, Dias and Guehi will be determined to put in a good display after the shameful performance against Real Madrid.
The “Worth a Risk, I Guess” Picks
Manchester United’s forward momentum has dipped. However, earning a victory against Aston Villa is, quite simply, the thing that will determine Michael Carrick’s stay at the club.
Fernandes, Casemiro and Maguire are players he can depend on, and likely so can you. Meanwhile, Sancho will relish the opportunity to prove his former club’s evaluation of his form to have been wrong. It’s got: “What were you thinking getting rid of him?” written all over it.
I like Chukwueze and Jimenez against an ailing Nottingham Forest defence. But I also think that Milenkovic and Anderson will, at least, try to rescue something from this match.
Finally, I think Palace’s Wharton is a strong pick, and also that Calvert-Lewin hasn’t yet stopped his goal-scoring run for the season. Neither is an essential pick, but it is worth having on your radar.
The Players You Need to Avoid in Round 30
Liverpool vs. Spurs is a pretty sad affair. But what would make it sadder is picking the likes of Danso, Muani or Richarlison. I’m still not sold on Salah, Kerkez, and particularly no on Konate after this week’s UCL performance against Galatasaray.
Cherki is a classic playmaker through and through. But neither he nor O’Reilly and Rodri are consistent enough to warrant a place on your team. Besides, West Ham, a team sinking quickly to the depths of the EPL, has enough to make life hard for City.
Occasionally, Igor Jesus and Gibbs–White produce true moments of magic for Forest. Frankly, I think Fulham’s preparation is too strong to let that happen.
