Manchester City top the bookies’ defensive rankings this weekend with a 53% chance of keeping a clean sheet when they welcome an out-of-sorts Bournemouth to The Etihad. The Cherries have blanked in both of their last 2 in the Premier League, so even though City themselves haven’t been shutting out opponents of late (1 clean sheet in 6 games), they could still profit defensively. Regardless, Nicolas Otamendi has been keeping his owners happy in recent gameweeks with attacking points (2 goals in his last 4 outings), so the Argentine international makes our starting XI.

Tottenham (50%) rank second ahead of their trip to Turf Moor. Like City, Spurs have recorded just a single clean sheet in their last 6 attempts, but with Burnley failing to score in 3 of their last 6, and shorn of the services of creator-in-chief Robbie Brady, things may just take a turn for the better for Mauricio Pochettino’s men this Saturday. Ex-Claret Kieran Trippier, having laid on 4 goals for his teammates this term, starts for our side given the significant attacking threat he also brings to the table.

Southampton (48%) and Chelsea (47%) complete the top four defensive prospects for this gameweek. The Saints are also in poor defensive form – like City and Spurs they boast just a solitary shutout from their last 6 matches – but their fixture is deemed favourable by the bookies due to the fact that Huddersfield have only found the net in 2 of their 9 top flight games on the road. With Cedric out injured, we opt for Jeremy Pied, who offers a £4.5m route into Mauricio Pellegrino’s back line. Chelsea, meanwhile, have fared slightly better, keeping 2 clean sheets in their last 5 outings, but travel to a rejuvenated Everton for Saturday’s early kick off. The Toffees last blanked all the way back in Gameweek 10, so Thibaut Courtois should hopefully be able to produce a few save points if big Sam’s charges do find the net.

On the bench, Julian Speroni (£4.0m – 36%) has started each of the last 4 for Palace and travels to managerless Swansea City, whilst Connor Goldson (£4.0m – 34%) is in line for his first Premier League appearance for Brighton, at home to Watford, courtesy of Shane Duffy’s one-match suspension. Adrian Mariappa (£4.0m – 31%) continues to offer excellent budget value and will line up on the opposite side to Goldson at The Amex Stadium.

Sergio Aguero sits atop the bookies’ attacking ranks for Gameweek 19 with a 67% chance of scoring against Bournemouth on Saturday. Eddie Howe’s men conceded 4 against Liverpool on Sunday and were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by a last minute goal on Wednesday night, so confidence will certainly not be high in the Cherries’ camp, offering the Argentine the perfect opportunity to bag his 11th goal of the season. Importantly, his start also looks assured after Gabriel Jesus played the entire 120 minutes for City in the cup on Tuesday, whilst Aguero was given the night off, so he dons our captain’s armband this weekend.

Harry Kane (52%) and Charlie Austin (44%) complete our front three. Tottenham’s talisman has bagged 4 goals in his last 6 outings, but will need to continue getting on the scoresheet if he is to keep up with Golden Boot leader Mohamed Salah. He faces a tough task this Saturday against a Burnley side with 9 clean sheets so far this term. Austin, meanwhile, has struck 4 times in his last 4 starts for the Saints and will be licking his lips at the prospect of a visit from Huddersfield, who have conceded 17 goals in their last 6 on their travels.

The bookies also fancy the chances of Gabriel Jesus, but with his starting spot far from secure we overlook City’s Brazilian prodigy.

Raheem Sterling (50%) scored twice against Tottenham to take his tally to 11 league goals this term, already making 2017/18 his most productive season ever in front of goal. He forms part of a Manchester City attacking double up for our squad, with the potential absence of Bournemouth left-back Charlie Daniels only enhancing his prospects down the right flank. Mohamed Salah (38%) keeps his place in our squad having scored or assisted in 9 of his last 10 Premier League games (10 goals, 2 assists) to cement his place as the highest scoring player in FPL with 135 points. A trip to The Emirates on Friday night is not the most favorable of fixtures, but only the bravest of men would bet against the Egyptian in his current form.

Wilfried Zaha and Marko Arnautovic (both 29%) complete our starting XI for Gameweek 19. The Ivorian livewire travels to Swansea having produced attacking returns in each of his last 3 games (1 goal, 2 assists), and with the Swans bottom of the league, managerless, and having conceded 7 in their last 2 games, a haul could be on the cards for Wilf. Arnautovic also goes into the weekend in good form after scoring twice in his last trio of appearances for the Hammers and enjoys a home game against a Newcastle side in a wretched run of form – the Magpies have lost 8 of their last 9 in the Premier League. Ruben Loftus-Cheek (19%), who produced his third assist of the season last weekend, takes the first spot on our bench as the best value budget midfielder ahead of Palace’s trip to South Wales.

This weekend the bookies also rate Manchester City trio Leroy Sane, Kevin de Bruyne and David Silva, along with big hitters Alexis Sanchez, Eden Hazard and Philippe Coutinho, but we forgo the services of the six due to squad selection and/or budget restrictions.
