Fantasy Football Premier League: Who to Pick for Round 27

By Eduard Bănulescu

Bottling it? Surely not you! You’re someone who comfortably lives with the pressure of keeping your fantasy Premier League football across Round 27.

However, bottlers do deserve consideration. As do clutch players. I’ve assembled two lists. Following them closely could improve your fantasy footy standing!

These Are the Players You Need for Premier League Fantasy Football for Round 27!

Must-Haves

I always like to start with the obvious picks. These are players who, on an ordinary day, will win you points.

Aston Villa won’t win the title. But they sure as hell are going to have a historic season. Unai Emery‘s boys are clear favourites against Leeds. Injuries aside, I’d pack my midfield and attack with Watkins, Rogers and Buendia. Cash and Mings might deserve a shot, as well.

On the subject of favourites, let me direct your attention to well-rested Chelsea. Victory against sinking Burnley seems ot be on the cards. Manager Liam Rosenior will pull off some late changes. However, I think that defenders James, Chalobah, and Fofana could absolutely bring you points. Caicedo, Palmer and Fernandez all look good. Meanwhile, J. Pedro and Neto are fine strikers, although better options may be available.

Finally, they say that form doesn’t matter in the North London Derby. But, I say, that it very much will. I think that Rice, Saliba and Gabriel should be back on your team. I also think that you can skip out on the stars and the Tottenham players. Gallagher could be the outlier.

Might-Haves

Everyone is impressed with Newcastle’s UCL performance. I reckon, however, that playing City will be a little tougher than facing the Kazak champions. Bernardo and Haaland are the team’s leaders and great picks. Semenyo, Cherki and Ait-Nouri are all affordable picks. Besides, they’re players anxious to win a major trophy.

Can’t believe I’m writing this, but you know what you’re getting from this Carrick-improved Manchester United side. Last time against Everton, United were awful. But, arguably, the attacking is now working. Problem solved! I think Cunha and Mbeumo are decent picks. B. Fernandes should be on your team if you can afford it.

But it’s not outside the realm of possibility that Lammens gets a clean sheet. This would, automatically, make Dalot, Martinez, Shaw and Maguire look like pretty good defensive picks. Remember that the clean sheet in the FootballCoin scoring system rewards the entire team.

Picking these players takes some vision. Think you have that? You could easily prove it by using FootballCoin!

Long Shots

Anyone floating outside of radar signals? 

Sure, Brentford’s Ajer and Yarmoliuk look great for Round 28. Both are free to pick in FootballCoin.

Both Palace and Glasner look miserable together. However, Larsen is in very good form. He’ll do well against Wolves.

Sure, if you’re looking for an affordable pick to flesh out your team, you could do worse than pro goalscorer Calvert-Lewin, Gudmundsson and Ampadu.

And, oh yeah! Does anyone remember Liverpool? Van Dijk and Konate, especially, look decent again. Playing against Vitor Pereira‘s Forest involves several uncertainties. However, if you can afford to get them, you might do so for old times’ sake.

The Players You Need to Avoid in Round 27, aka “Won’t-Haves”

Leeds and Burnley are fighting for survival. They’re unpredictable. However, I can’t quite bring myself to recommend the likes of Dubravka as an affordable goalie or defenders like Walker or Worral. For all their experience, their teams could get hammered. If this happens, it will affect your points tally.

I have much sympathy for Spurs. And I think Igor Tudor will keep the team up. I just don’t see the revival starting this weekend. This means that Kolo Muani, Simons, Palhinha, or Vicario aren’t on my list.

I really like many of Newcastle’s players. I do! But, I think it’s safer to keep the likes of Tonali, Gordon, Trippier or Pope on hand for a future date when the team isn’t playing City.

Not a fan of Arsenal attackers at the moment.

And what about Salah? Can’t wait to pick him for the Saudi Pro League next season. That one’s in FootballCoin, by the way.
