Last Chances: Fantasy Premier League Players to Consider

Crucial Picks for the Final Week

The Premier League season is hitting its finale, and with just one round of fixtures left, the opportunity to seize victory in your Fantasy Premier League (FPL) mini-league is reaching a fever pitch. Selecting players with low ownership percentages could be pivotal, especially as fantasy managers look for those hidden gems to make all the difference.

Here are three players worth considering:

Richarlison - Tottenham Hotspur

Position: Forward Fixture: Everton (h) Owned: 6.4%

With intense motivation from Tottenham going into their final home match, all eyes will be on Richarlison. A draw against Everton may secure Spurs' Premier League status for another season. Under Roberto de Zerbi, the team has showcased renewed vigor, and Richarlison has stepped up with two goals and an assist over the last four games. Having already played full 90 minutes in his last three outings, he's primed to make an impact.

“We all know the stakes. This is a pivotal match, and Richarlison appears ready to deliver.”

Jaidon Anthony - Burnley

Position: Midfielder Fixture: Wolves (h) Owned: 1.9%

If ever there was a time for a Hail Mary play, this is it. Burnley has been showing flashes of brilliance lately, including a solid draw against Aston Villa and a narrow defeat to Arsenal. Facing Wolves, who've notoriously struggled defensively away, Anthony may be just the player to exploit their vulnerabilities. He's already amassed 125 points this season, a solid foundation to build on for a standout performance.

Cody Gakpo - Liverpool

Position: Midfielder Fixture: Brentford (h) Owned: 5.6%

Choosing Gakpo feels like a risky bet right now, especially given the swirling rumors around Liverpool's camp. Yet, he's carved out a significant role, starting every game since Gameweek 20. With uncertainties surrounding Alexander Isak's fitness, Gakpo is well-positioned to contribute offensively if Liverpool lights up the scoreboard.

“This is the beauty of Fantasy Premier League: the unpredictability. Sometimes, it's those low-owned players that propel you to victory.”

Additional Potential Picks

Beyond the three highlighted, players like Morgan Gibbs-White and Jarrod Bowen are excellent gambles for last-minute transfers. As noted by fantasy expert Statman Dave, teams vying for a strong finish—such as Bournemouth, Liverpool, Spurs, and West Ham—are pivotal targets as they have much to play for.

• Morgan Gibbs-White: A rising star amidst an energetic Nottingham Forest squad.
• Jarrod Bowen: With a combined tally of 18 contributions this season, he's a fan-favorite and a top transfer target.

Final Thoughts

The final gameweek is often fraught with tension and excitement as Fantasy Premier League managers weigh their options. Remember to consider not just the players' recent forms but the stakes involved in their respective matches. Every decision counts, and this is the chance to either climb the ranks or solidify your dominance. Good luck!
