\"\"No sooner has gameweek ended, that gameweek 17 begins. With a full set of midweek Premier League fixtures, it promises to be a busy time in FPL<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are a few players that could help you pick up a good points tally in the forthcoming fixtures:<\/p>\n

Nick Pope (Burnley)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Nick Pope has come into the Clarets team and proven to be a fine deputy to injured England goalkeeper Tom Heaton. The former Charlton star has kept six clean sheets this season and played a crucial part in the Clarets successful season so far.<\/p>\n

Burnley are a very good defensive unit, especially at home. In fact, Pope has kept clean sheets in three of his last four top-flight outing at Turf Moor, conceding just one goal in the process.<\/p>\n

A home meeting with travel sick Stoke and a price tag of \u00a34.7m mean that Pope is a very good option for gameweek 17.<\/p>\n

Nicolas Otamendi (Manchester City)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It was hard to look anywhere else than at City\u2019s Argentinian international centre-back for my defender pick. The former-Valencia star has become a major weapon at set pieces, scoring four times this season in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Otamendi has now scored in his last two league appearances for the Citizens, while also providing an assist last time out in a 2-1 win over rivals Manchester United.<\/p>\n

He may be an attacking threat on set pieces, but his defensive stats are not bad either this season. City have kept six clean sheets in the Premier League and on Wednesday night visit goal-shy Swansea, who are the lowest scorers in the English top-flight. Otamendi may not come cheaply at \u00a36m, but at the minute, he looks to be one of the best defensive options in FPL.<\/p>\n

Heung Min-Son (Tottenham)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Son\u2019s teammate Harry Kane is an obvious FPL asset for Spurs home game with Brighton on Wednesday night. However, for those who cannot afford Tottenham\u2019s main man, the South Korean could prove a good asset against a Brighton side that has failed to win in their last five top-flight outings.<\/p>\n

Son has now scored in his last three appearances for the North London club, while also producing two assists for his team. The attacking midfielder\u2019s price tag of \u00a38m will not break the bank either.<\/p>\n

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The England under-20 World Cup winner is your ultimate budget-friendly striking option. At just \u00a35.3m, the 20-year-old is the lowest priced starting forward at a Premier League club, having started the last four top-flight games.<\/p>\n

The former-Sheffield United youngster is not just an enabler to afford other star players. He is garnering points at a decent rate too. The striker now has two goals and six assists for the season.<\/p>\n

However, three of those assists and one of the goals have been scored in his last four league outings. An away fixture at Newcastle on Wednesday night represents a good chance for the forward to chalk up more points.<\/p>\n

The Toffees head into that game, having won two and drawn one of their last three top-flight games. The Magpies are in terrible form, suffering defeats in six of their last seven top-flight games.<\/p>\n

My name is David Nugent and I am editor-in-chief of LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com. I have always enjoyed various sports, primarily soccer, as I am a die-hard Everton fan. Over time, I learned more about sports betting and discovered the fascinating online gambling industry. Eventually, I decided to turn this passion of mine into a project, and that\u2019s how this platform came to be. I am excited to share my story with you and talk about this platform that\u2019s a result of over 20 years of experience I have in the industry. My Beginnings My love for sports has always been a big part of my life. It all started with my dad and me playing in the backyard, but I continued to play sports throughout both elementary and high school. At that time, I knew very little about sports betting since it wasn\u2019t legal in Pennsylvania, but I quickly learned that other states have different laws and that sports betting was legalized in some of them. When the time to pick a college came, everyone thought I was going to do something sports-related. However, that wasn\u2019t my plan. Since there are many lawyers in my family, I decided to follow in their footsteps. I studied law at the University of Pennsylvania, and during that time, my passion for sports only grew bigger. I would watch various sporting events with my friends and attend all matches and games that were happening in the area. On one occasion, I decided to go on a road trip to Vegas with my friends, and, needless to say, I fell in love with the bright lights, humongous buildings, and fantastic casinos. That\u2019s when I discovered the whole gambling scene I knew nothing about. Of course, I knew how to play some games, such as poker and blackjack, but I never realized how well-developed this industry actually was. That trip changed my perspective on what I wanted to do with my life. After I graduated, I took some time off and I traveled through the US, exploring various casinos and land-based sportsbooks. I also spent one year in the UK, where my dream of watching Everton play finally came true. There, I realized how advanced the whole gambling industry is and that the legal aspect of it was quite different than in the US. I spent that time writing for various online platforms where I had the opportunity to share my extensive knowledge about sports. When I came back to the US, I was given a chance to write for an international soccer magazine where I covered the Premier League \u2014 which I was crazy about \u2014 Bundesliga, and other international tournaments. After having written hundreds of sports-related articles, I knew what I wanted to do \u2014 create my own platform and share my knowledge with others. How LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com Came to Life Once I set the goal, I started doing extensive research on the online gambling industry and the laws surrounding it. I wanted to combine my background in law and the passion I have for sports and create a high-quality online platform. While the online gambling industry was flourishing in Europe, the exact opposite was happening in the US. That is, until 2018 when PASPA (Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act) was overturned. After that, every US state was allowed to introduce new laws and provide operators that wanted to offer various online gambling opportunities with licenses. That was the start of the online gambling industry in the US. Since I knew how online gambling worked thanks to the experience I gained when I was in the UK, I was extremely excited to have the opportunity to introduce US players to the best online gambling platforms and show them that online sportsbooks and casinos can offer an immersive gambling experience, just like their land-based counterparts. Why I Do This What attracted me to online gambling was the possibility of placing bets on my favorite teams from the comfort of my home. I wanted to be able to do that using safe platforms and secure payment options to fund my betting account. And that is exactly what I want for my fellow bettors, too. Naturally, I was a bit of a skeptic myself at first when it came to online gambling simply because I knew how unsafe some sites can be. But once I did some research and talked to fellow European experts, I realized that there is a way to find perfectly safe online gambling platforms. Every gambling site you find on this platform has gone through extensive and rigorous testing to ensure its safety and reliability. Additionally, I have studied the laws of each state in the US, as well as of other countries worldwide, to gain a deeper understanding of how online gambling works in different parts of the world. I\u2019d like to note that the online gambling industry has just begun its journey and we are yet to see its significant growth and improvement in the future. It will be my pleasure to witness all of that with you. I Couldn\u2019t Have Done This on My Own Of course, none of this would have been possible if it weren\u2019t for the amazing team of people I gathered for this project. Since I have only basic knowledge of web development, I started working with some experienced developers who have helped me build this platform. Today, they are here to make sure everything runs smoothly. Also, I knew from the beginning that I wouldn\u2019t be able to take care of all the content on my own, which is why LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com has an incredible team of experienced gamblers, writers, and people with a background in law. They help me conduct in-depth research and find all the necessary information. Naturally, since this industry is still new in the US, we are all learning a lot, and we will continue to do so in order to improve our platform and make your experience better. Finally, I would love to hear your feedback, suggestions, and comments, so feel free to contact me at any time.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/x.com\\\/Nuge1983\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legitgambling.com\\\/news\\\/author\\\/david-nugent\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Premier Fantasy Football gameweek 17 top picks -","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/premier-fantasy-football-gameweek-17-top-picks\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Premier Fantasy Football gameweek 17 top picks -","og_description":"No sooner has gameweek ended, that gameweek 17 begins.
