Here are our FPL picks for gameweek 30:<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/christopher-schindler\/profil\/spieler\/57842\">Christopher Schindler<\/a> (Huddersfield)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have to admit earlier in the season Schindler was a favourite of mine. However, the Terriers terrible defensive displays in the last few months have made the German look like one to avoid.<\/p>\n<p>However, it seems that the \u00a34.6m man could now be a viable prospect, with fellow Premier League strugglers Swansea heading to the John Smiths Stadium this weekend. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/sports-betting\/soccer\/premier-league\">David Wagner&#8217;s side are favourites to win the vital game.\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, Schindler ranks second in the FPL for tackles, blocks, clearances and interceptions, having made 54. The defender has also picked up 12 bonus points this season.<\/p>\n<p>Factor in that he also has a very favourable run of games to come and a game in gameweek 31, suddenly he looks like a very good FPL asset.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/football\/43331622\">Seamus Coleman<\/a> (Everton)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Everton defender is another player who features in gameweek 31. The Republic of Ireland international may seem costly at \u00a36.4m, but his sheer attacking threat could be enough to justify his presence in your team.<\/p>\n<p>Coleman has only recently returned from a long injury lay-off. However, before his injury, the former Sligo Rovers star was a player capable of producing big points when it came to goals and assists.<\/p>\n<p>Formerly a winger, Coleman produced an assist for the Toffees goal in a 2-1 defeat at Burnley last time out. The Toffees defensive record may be poor, but even if the Merseysiders conceded goals, Coleman can still pop up at the other end with a goal or an assist.<\/p>\n<p>The Toffees host Brighton this weekend, while in gameweek 31 Sam Allardyce\u2019s side faces a trip to struggling Stoke. Both of those fixtures offer a chance for the marauding full-back to add to his points tally.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-5468975\/Premier-League-fastest-players-2017-18-10.html\">Leroy Sane<\/a> (Manchester City)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Usually, we pick players who are not obvious choices for FPL top picks. However, it is difficult to ignore the Germany international this week. Priced at a ridiculous \u00a38.5m, Sane is a good way into that free-scoring City attack, especially as Raheem Sterling is still a doubt for the Citizens trip to Stoke on Monday night.<\/p>\n<p>The winger has a very low ownership due to just returning from injury, so he could prove a good differential this week, even if he will not have a game in gameweek 31.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Punt of the week<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goal.com\/en\/news\/steve-mounie-pleased-to-win-huddersfield-towns-player-of-the\/1oxprsonucv7q1jhjoyw3et7f6\">Steve Mounie<\/a> (Huddersfield)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Benin international has delivered on a sporadic basis this season. Last time out at home the 23-year-old scored and provided two assists against West Ham. The striker\u2019s last four goals have all come at the John Smiths Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>It means that the French striker has now scored six times and produced six assists. However, that lack of productivity may be because the striker has been rotated with Belgian striker Laurent Depoitre.<\/p>\n<p>The club-record signing has now started the last three Premier League games and now seems to be first choice striker. As previously stated the Terriers have a favourable run of fixtures and a game in gameweek 31, so the striker rated at just \u00a35.7m could prove to be a very good FPL option.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Who will be the picks of gameweek 31 in FPL?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The iconic musician Meat Loaf once sang \u2018Two outta three ain\u2019t\u2019 bad\u2019, well it was a case of \u2018Three outta four ain\u2019t bad\u2019 for our gameweek 29 picks, as only Marko Arnautovic failed to deliver any points from our chosen four.

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 30 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-30-top-picks\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Premier League Fantasy Football Gameweek 30 top picks -","og_description":"The iconic musician Meat Loaf once sang \u2018Two outta three ain\u2019t\u2019 bad\u2019, well it was a case of \u2018Three outta four ain\u2019t bad\u2019 for our gameweek 29 picks, as only Marko Arnautovic failed to deliver any points from our chosen four.

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\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5525","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=5525"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5525\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
