Let&#8217;s hope we have better luck in gameweek 29. Here are our player picks for gameweek 29:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/football\/2018\/01\/20\/tottenham-defender-ben-davies-admits-denmark-helped-shape-growing\/\"><strong>Ben Davies (Tottenham)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Wales international has shone for Spurs at left-back in recent months at both ends of the pitch. Tottenham have kept 15 clean sheets with Davies in the team, while the full-back has contributed two goals and six assists this season.<\/p>\n<p>Two of those six assists have been in his last five appearances for the team from north London. The former Swansea man has picked up bonus points in three of his last five appearances for Mauricio Pochettino\u2019s side. Valued at \u00a35.8m, he is not the cheapest defender, but a home game against Huddersfield this weekend offers a good opportunity for him to add to his points tally.<\/p>\n<p>There is a caveat with Davies, though. England left-back Danny Rose is back to full fitness and boss Pochettino has a tendency for rotation in the full-back areas. The Wales international also has a blank gameweek 31.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hitc.com\/en-gb\/2018\/02\/27\/recent-newcastle-united-target-andrew-robertson-to-face-magpies\/\"><strong>Andrew Robertson (Liverpool)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Scotland international arrived at Liverpool from Hull City in the summer to fill the team\u2019s problem left-back position. However, it is only in the last few months that he has nailed down a regular starting spot in the Reds backline. He has now started 13 of the Reds last 14 top-flight games.<\/p>\n<p>While Liverpool are always susceptible to conceding goals, Robertson also offers an attacking threat, which he displayed on numerous occasions during his time with Hull last season. In his 72 top-flight appearances for Hull and Liverpool, Robertson has scored once and supplied six assists, not bad for a player still establishing himself as a Premier League player.<\/p>\n<p>With a favourable gameweek 29 fixture at home against Newcastle and a price tag of \u00a34.8m, Robertson is looking like a very good FPL option at the minute.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whufc.com\/news\/articles\/2018\/february\/28-february\/hartson-david-moyes-getting-best-out-marko-arnautovic\"><strong>Marko Arnautovic (West Ham)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Everybody loves a midfielder playing as a striker. The Irons Austrian winger is just that, now back from injury and playing in a forward position.<\/p>\n<p>The former Inter star scored five goals in six matches in a central role before picking up an injury. However, he returned to the Hammers team in gameweek 27 against Watford and was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet last time out against Liverpool at Anfield.<\/p>\n<p>A trip to fellow strugglers Swansea this weekend and a price of just \u00a36.9m, make Arnautovic a player that could prove to be a very handy differential for the rest of the season. The only negative is that he will not play in gameweek 31, which will see a number of big teams and players absent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Punt of the week<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk\/sport\/football\/football-news\/troy-deeney-praises-javi-gracia-1266429\"><strong>Troy Deeney (Watford)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Watford captain has not always been in the team this season for the Hornets. However, since the arrival of Spanish boss Javi Gracia, the striker has started every game and has now scored in his last two home appearances.<\/p>\n<p>Last time out he scored the only goal of the game against Everton. In fact, all four of the striker\u2019s top-flight goals this season have been scored at Vicarage Road. The weekend visit of West Brom and his price tag of \u00a36.3m certainly make him a tempting FPL prospect. He also has the advantage of featuring in gameweek 31, although Gracia\u2019s team faces a trip to Anfield that weekend,<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/sports-betting\/soccer\/premier-league\"> a game the Hornets will be massive underdogs to win<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Who will be the picks of gameweek 29 in FPL?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Premier League football returns this weekend and that means gameweek 29 of FPL.

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.

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.

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.

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\/5366","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=5366"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5366\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5366"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5366"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5366"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
