Pep Guardiola recently told reporters that EPL titles aren’t won in December, but that they can certainly be lost. And your fantasy Football Premier League journey could well go in a similar direction.
I’m here to try and steer you straight. These are some of the players that you need to have on your team and the ones you should avoid.

These Are the Players You Need for Premier League Fantasy Football for Round 17!
Let’s focus on the essentials. Manchester City has started making a run of it. Focus on players who will, no doubt, avoid Guardiola’s rotation. Cherki, Foden, Haaland are great attacking picks. Donnarumma can keep a clean sheet against West Ham. And Dias and Gvardiol should go the full 90 minutes here.
Then, there’s Newcastle taking on Chelsea, and I don’t think Eddie Howe’s team is as poor as the league position suggests. This could be a match of goals. Midfielders like Fernandez, Caicedo, as well as Tonali, and Guimaraes can deliver assists. Garnacho, Pedro, Woltemade, and Gordon are, for me, tier 2 attacking choices.
Spurs vs. Liverpool will be interesting viewing. However, it’s a little too unpredictable to call. I like Palhinha, Bergvall and Kudus for this one. And, Ekitike is undoubtedly in good form.
Leeds is in a good place. And, why wouldn’t Calvert-Lewin‘s scoring run continue against Crystal Palace? Meanwhile, the visitors’ Wharton and Guehi will be looking to justify growing interest in their services from top-name EPL teams.
Aston Villa is going after Manchester United like a team that wants to show the world just how good it is. This will probably be a tight affair. However, mistakes are what United defenders trade in, and the thing that Rogers and Watkins have been taking advantage of in recent weeks.
Is this finally the week where Wolverhampton gets a win? It could be, and while I think that this Brentford side is fine, I’ve seen some hints of all-important pride from players like Toti, Gomes, or Hwang recently. Sure, they won’t be your top picks, but if you need to flesh out your squad, you might want to consider them, in my opinion.
The Players You Need to Avoid in Round 17!
I’d avoid most of the Spurs and Liverpool players, starting with the goalies Vicario and Alisson, and continuing with defenders like Bradley, Konate, and Kerkez, who, I’m sure, rarely make Arne Slot feel comfortable.
Manchester United defenders are also error-prone. And, what’s worse, they’ll be going against Morgan this time. I’d steer clear of players like Heaven, Shaw, and whoever Ruben Amorim has playing on the right flank.
