However, in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/premier-league-fantasy-football-gameweek-21-top-picks\/\">Gameweek 21<\/a> <\/strong>we once again experienced mix fortunes with our picks. Here are the players we believe will thrive in Gameweek 23:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailystar.co.uk\/sport\/football\/672645\/Man-Utd-David-De-Gea-Real-Madrid-agent-Jose-Mourinho-Zidane-Chelsea-rumours-gossip-news\"><strong>David De Gea (Manchester United)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Manchester United goalkeeper is regarded as one of the best in the world. Even at \u00a35.9million, the Spaniard is a very good option for FPL players.<\/p>\n<p>De Gea is the sort of player you can leave in your team no matter who the opponents are, as not only does he keep clean sheets, he picks up a lot of save points. The Red Devils stopper has already picked up ten bonus points this season.<\/p>\n<p>A home game against struggling and managerless Stoke looks like a fixture where he will at least pick up a clean sheet, against a Potters that has scored just once in their last three away games in the top-flight.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/news\/590681\"><strong>Lewis Dunk (Brighton)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Seagulls defender may seem like a strange choice. However, at \u00a34.5million he is a very good budget-friendly defensive option for our squads. Brighton have been pretty solid at the back this season in the top-flight. A trip to struggling West Brom this weekend looks like an opportunity for Dunk to pick up points. Dunk has yet to score for the Seagulls this season in the top-flight. However, last season he represented a big threat in the opposition box from set-pieces, so some attacking returns could be just around the corner for the centre-back.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.football.london\/west-ham-united-fc\/players\/marko-arnautovic-west-ham-moyes-14142815\"><strong>Marko Arnautovic (West Ham)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Austrian international has thrived under David Moyes since a change of position. Playing as the main striker or just behind the central striker Arnautovic has become highly productive.<\/p>\n<p>In his last six Premier League appearances, the forward has produced five goals and one assist, after failing to produce a return in his first few months at the club. In fact, the former-Inter star has only failed to contribute to a goal in one of his last top-flight appearances. The \u00a36.9million-rated star was a slight fitness doubt. However, reports suggest he will be fit for a trip to Huddersfield on Saturday after, which could reap more rewards for his FPL owners. The Irons also have a favourable run of fixtures after their trip to Yorkshire.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JesseLingard?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\"><strong>Jesse Lingard (Manchester United)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Manchester United winger is on a hot streak of form at the minute. The England international has produced four assists and an assist in his last five top-flight games for the Red Devils. He also scored in the Red Devils 2-0 win over Championship derby last time out in the FA Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Lingard has now scored seven goals and produced four goals in the Premier League this season. He looks like he is starting to fulfil his potential for the Red Devils. The winger looks to be a bargain at just \u00a36.3million, especially with Stoke visiting Old Trafford on Monday night. Lingard offers the double advantage of being budget-friendly and a goal threat. You could not ask more from an FPL midfield asset.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Who is the must-have FPL asset this weekend?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Due to a clash in our schedule, unfortunately, we could not cover Gameweek 22 of FPL.

Nugent\"},\"description\":\"First off, I want to say hi and wish a warm welcome to all gambling aficionados out there! 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 League Fantasy Football Gameweek 23 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-league-fantasy-football-gameweek-23-top-picks\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Premier League Fantasy Football Gameweek 23 top picks -","og_description":"Due to a clash in our schedule, unfortunately, we could not cover Gameweek 22 of FPL.
