We experienced mixed results in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/premier-league-fantasy-football-gameweek-23-top-picks\/\">gameweek 23<\/a><\/strong>, with Marko Arnautovic and David de Gea picking up good hauls. Hopefully this week we can do even better. Here are the four FPL picks for gameweek 24:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\/sport\/football\/football-news\/proof-evertons-jordan-pickford-one-14175574\"><strong>Jordan Pickford (Everton)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The England international seems like a good choice, as he has the double advantage of a good fixture and a reasonable price. The former Sunderland goalkeeper has been one of the few success stories at Everton this season.<\/p>\n<p>Valued at \u00a34.9m and playing at home against a West Brom side that has scored just four times in their last seven away games on the road, he looks like a very viable FPL option. <strong>His potential for saves points is also good, as he has already produced 77 saves this season<\/strong>. Another advantage for the stopper is that the Toffees have favourable fixtures to come in the near future.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.leicestermercury.co.uk\/sport\/football\/transfer-news\/man-city-harry-maguire-leicester-1037209\"><strong>Harry Maguire (Leicester) <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Leicester centre-back is building a reputation as a defender that can also contribute at the other end of the pitch. <strong>The England international has scored twice and produced four assists<\/strong>, while also keeping six clean sheets.<\/p>\n<p>The centre-back is a big threat to opposing defences. At \u00a35.2m, the defender offers good value as the Foxes host Watford this weekend, who have struggled for results of late. The defender has picked up eight bonus points this season in a mixed season for the Midlands outfit. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/reviews\/william-hill\">The Foxes are favourites to record a win over the Hornets<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/905244\/Liverpool-and-Arsenal-told-staggering-Riyad-Mahrez-price-by-Leicester-boss-Claude-Puel\"><strong>Riyad Mahrez (Leicester)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another Leicester player who could shine this weekend is the highly talented Mahrez. The Algerian international forward has contributed seven goals and ten assists this season. <strong>Mahrez has contributed attacking returns in eight of his last ten appearances for the Foxes<\/strong>. The winger has picked up 14 bonus points this season, which can make all the difference in FPL.<\/p>\n<p>At \u00a38.6m, he is not cheap. However, Leicester have a favourable run of fixtures in the next couple of weeks. Saturday\u2019s visitors Watford give opposition team\u2019s chances to score goals, as they have kept just one clean sheet in their last ten Premier League outings. That means that an in-form Mahrez is likely to profit this weekend.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-5268159\/Callum-Wilson-praises-Bournemouth-fans-win-Arsenal.html\"><strong>Callum Wilson (Bournemouth)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Wilson has hit form since his return from injury, <strong>scoring three goals in his last four Premier League appearances<\/strong>. An injury to fellow striker Jermain Defoe may mean a long run in the team for the dangerous striker.<\/p>\n<p>The striker is just returning to his best form and has picked up four bonus points in his last four Premier League appearances. A trip to fellow strugglers West Ham on Saturday looks like a game where he can add to his points tally. It is worth noting that Wilson made his Premier League debut against West Ham, scoring a hat-trick in a 4-3 victory at Upton Park.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Punt of the week <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.standard.co.uk\/sport\/football\/theo-walcott-targets-place-in-everton-history-books-following-arsenal-departure-a3744341.html\"><strong>Theo Walcott (Everton)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The England international recently made the move to Merseyside from Arsenal. The forward is expected to be thrown straight into the starting line-up for this weekend\u2019s home game against West Brom.<\/p>\n<p>Walcott has struggled for first-team action at Arsenal this season. However, he has proven in the past just how dangerous he can be when given regular first-team football. The 28-year-old scored 19 goals in all competitions last season and will be eager to impress as he looks to make the England World Cup squad. It may be too soon for the forward, but he is certainly an interesting differential for your FPL team.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Who will be the top FPL pick this week?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are back with our top picks for gameweek 24 of the Premier League Fantasy Football.

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.

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.

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.

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\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3482","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3482"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3482\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3482"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
