Fantasy Premier League Lineup Picks - Gameweek 28 EPL Preview

One of the fastest growing fantasy games is the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) - a season-long version of fantasy soccer for the English Premier League (EPL). With almost six million players this year, the FPL game is becoming a fixture for soccer enthusiasts across the globe.

Here at RotoBaller, we will try to give you the best analysis possible so that you can beat your friends and take on the rest of the world by managing your team in the fantasy version of the beautiful game.

Here is the team analysis and lineup picks for fantasy drafts heading into Gameweek 28. At the end of the day, remember to make the decision you feel is best for the team. Good luck, and enjoy!

 

The Ones To Buy This Week - Fantasy Premier League

Jamaal Lascelles - D, Newcastle (Price: 4.7M)

With only one loss in their last five games, Newcastle have been on some decent form heading into the latter stages of the season. A big part of their performances has been their defense, led by young Englishman Jamaal Lascelles. Lascelles has played every minute since Gameweek 17 and has contributed to three clean sheets in this time period. Although that is not a number many fantasy owners will be too happy about, Lascelles should be considered a cheap depth defender who is guaranteed to play and has some decent matches for the rest of the season. Target Lascelles in the coming weeks, as he can produce some solid performances for you and comes with a low level of risk and high upside for the rest of the season.

Chicharito - F, West Ham (Price: 6.7M)

The Mexican forward has scored in three of his last four games and has been a huge factor behind West Ham's push from the relegation zone into a mid-table spot. For under 7M, Chicharito offers proven Premier League goalscoring experience at a discounted price. Remember, the ex-Manchester United forward has been known to go on runs of superb form, and we seem to be in a middle of such a run. Consider picking him up for the coming weeks, as the veteran striker has proven that he can still play at a top level and is the main offensive weapon for West Ham.

 

Keep Your Eye On Him

Virgil van Dijk - D, Liverpool (5.5M)

After his huge transfer move from Southampton to Liverpool, it took a while for the Dutch center back to become adjusted to the style of play at Anfield. However, the defender earned his first clean sheet in last week's game against his old club and will look to continue playing the full ninety going into the last ten games of the season. Liverpool have been gifted an extremely easy schedule for the remainder of the season, making van Dijk an intriguing buy for a team not known for keeping too many clean sheets. Liverpool have the potential to have quite a few solid performances from the back in the coming weeks, making van Dijk a very intriguing option for fantasy owners for the rest of the season.

 

Offload Him Now

Phil Jones - D, Manchester United  (5.7M)

Although Jones has been in terrific form when on the pitch for the Red Devils this season, injuries have made his playing time limited in recent weeks. Furthermore, Manchester United have a very difficult set of games down the stretch, making it difficult to consider rostering Jones for the upcoming games. With Jones also believed to be on the way out this summer, starting him in your fantasy lineups could prove to be costly as he is not guaranteed a spot in the team, especially with a return to health from fellow center back Eric Bailly.

Potential Replacements: Joel Matip (5.4M), Andreas Christensen (5.3M)

 

RotoBaller Weekly XI

Team (Prices May Be Over 100M):

GK: Nick Pope (4.7M)
DF: Ben Davies (5.6M), Jan Vertonghen (6M), Cuco Martina (4.4M), Ben Mee (4.9M)
MF: Eden Hazard (10.7M), Richarlison (6.1M), Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (5.4M)
FW: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (10.5M), Sergio Aguero (12M), Jamie Vardy (8.6M)

Analysis:

With a 4-3-3 formation once again, the strength lies up top with a star-studded trio of Aubameyang, Aguero, and Vardy. With a Tottenham and Burnley stack in the back and a cost-effective midfield supplemented by in-form midfielder Eden Hazard, the team is covered across every level and has what it takes to be a week-winner in this potentially electric weekend of fixtures.

That's all for this week - good luck!
