The following team is within the £100m budget at the time of writing, with the cheapest possible substitutes used:
3-5-2
GOALKEEPER: Jordan Pickford – £4.4m – Everton
Fixture: vs Burnley (a)
Three clean sheets on the bounce, and faces promoted side Burnley in Gameweek 17.
DEFENDER: Trent Alexander-Arnold – £8.2m – Liverpool
Fixture: vs Man Utd (H)
Back to his point-scoring best having accumulated 44 FPL points in his last five Premier League games.
DEFENDER: Pedro Porro – £5.4m – Tottenham
Fixture: vs Nottingham Forest (a)
Relentlessly attacking down the right-hand side and has produced four assists in his last five Premier League outings.
DEFENDER: Marcos Senesi – £4.4m – Bournemouth
Fixture: vs Luton (H)
Has scored in each of his last two games while also helping his side keep a clean sheet in both.
MIDFIELDER: Mo Salah – £13.2m – Liverpool
Fixture: vs Man Utd (H)
The top point-scorer across all positions and takes on a weakened and confidence-hit Man Utd side.
MIDFIELDER: Heung Min-Son – £9.7m – Tottenham
Fixture: vs Nottingham Forest (a)
Second only to Salah in terms of FPL points, and recorded his sixth double-figure hail of the campaign in Gameweek 16.
MIDFIELDER: Bukayo Saka – £9.0m – Arsenal
Fixture: vs Brighton (H)
Rarely blanks and has a Gameweek 17 fixture against a Brighton team who are yet to keep a clean sheet in the Premier League.
MIDFIELDER: Raheem Sterling – £7.1m – Chelsea
Fixture: vs Sheffield Utd (H)
Likely to return to the starting line-up against Sheffield Utd having already recorded 35 points against the other two promoted sides in 2023-24.
MIDFIELDER: Cole Palmer – £5.5m – Chelsea
Fixture: vs Sheffield Utd (H)
Doubling up on Chelsea makes sense given the fixture, and Palmer is the logical choice given his performances in recent months.
FORWARD: Ollie Watkins – £8.5m – Aston Villa
Fixture: vs Brentford (a)
Only Haaland has accumulated more fantasy points among forwards this season.
FORWARD: Dominic Solanke – £6.7m – Bournemouth
Fixture: vs Luton (H)
Plum home fixture for a man who has scored eight Premier League goals for the Cherries this season.
