Here they are:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.walesonline.co.uk\/sport\/football\/football-news\/swansea-citys-lukasz-fabianski-arguably-13647335\"><strong>Lukasz Fabianski (Swansea)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Poland international has established himself as one of best budget goalkeepers in the last few seasons of FPL. <strong>Valued at just \u00a34.6m<\/strong>, only Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea, Burnley\u2019s Nick Pope and Manchester City\u2019s Ederson have picked up more points this season. However, Fabianski is cheaper than all three of his competitors.<\/p>\n<p>The former-Arsenal star has made more saves than any other goalkeeper has in the Premier League this season. Even when Swansea concedes goals, Fabianski still picks up points from the number of saves he makes each match.<\/p>\n<p>This weekend, the Swans host Burnley, who have scored just three goals in their last six away games in the top-flight, while failing to score in four of those six games on their travels. The game looks ideal for Fabianski to increase his points tally.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stokesentinel.co.uk\/sport\/football\/football-news\/stoke-city-manchester-united-bauer-1063787\"><strong>Moritz Bauer (Stoke City)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Potters January signing has made a big impact in his four Premier League appearances so far since his arrival from Rubin Kazan. The Austrian\u2019s arrival has coincided with the Potters conceding fewer goals.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is <strong>his attacking abilities that may make the \u00a34.5m valued star an attractive proposition<\/strong>. The full-back has produced six chances and the same number of successful crosses, more than any player in his position during the last four games.<\/p>\n<p>In gameweek 27, Bauer and his teammates host a Brighton side who have struggled for goals in the top-flight. In fact, the Seagulls have failed to score in six of their last seven league games on their travels. All these facts seem to suggest that Bauer could well prove to be a bargain basement defensive option for your FPL team.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/watford-place-gerard-deulofeu-fulfil-potential\/\"><strong>Gerard Deulofeu (Watford)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Mercurial winger joined the Hornets in the January window on loan from Catalan giants Barcelona. The 23-year-old impressed on his home debut against ten-man Chelsea, scoring and producing an assist in a 4-1 home win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>His performance earned him 13 points, as the winger also picked up maximum bonus points<\/strong>. Deulofeu is certainly an interesting addition to FPL and the Premier League, where he previously featured for Everton. A price tag of just \u00a36m and a visit to injury-ravaged West Ham this weekend certainly makes the former Barcelona star an attractive asset for this gameweek.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/sport\/football\/premier-league\/bernardo-silva-manchester-city-rough-treatment-west-brom-cardiff-leroy-sane-kevin-de-bruyne-a8190141.html\"><strong>Bernardo Silva (Manchester City)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Manchester City attacking assets are now essential to any FPL team. The likes of Kevin de Bruyne and Sergio Aguero are expensive assets, while winger Raheem Sterling is slightly cheaper. An even cheaper asset is former Monaco playmaker Bernardo Silva. Due to injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Leroy Sane, the Portuguese international is starting regularly for City. At \u00a37.4m, he represents a major bargain in a City team were bargains are hard to find.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Silva has now produced an attacking return in six of his last eight appearances for the Citizens<\/strong>. The attacking midfielder is likely to start for City again this weekend, as they welcome Leicester City to the Etihad Stadium. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/sports-betting\/soccer\/premier-league\">The Citizens are big favourites to record a victory over the visiting Foxes.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Who will be the top picks for gameweek 27 of FPL?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are approaching that time of the week once again, as another week of FPL is nearly upon us.

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.

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.

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.
