Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 22: Betting Tips and Insight

Fantasy Premier League is one of the biggest football games on the planet, but it can also be a great way to bet, and vice versa. So, we wanted to take a look at some fixtures and also rankings.

Below, you can find a preview of the weekend's fixtures, as well as the players 'most likely' to score, assist and make saves.

Fixture Ranking

It's best to start with the fixtures, and this weekend's games are as follows:

• Manchester United vs. Manchester City
• Tottenham Hotspur vs. West Ham United
• Sunderland vs. Crystal Palace
• Liverpool vs. Burnley
• Leeds vs. Fulham
• Chelsea vs. Brentford
• Nottingham Forest vs. Arsenal
• Wolves vs. Newcastle United
• Aston Villa vs. Everton
• Brighton vs. Bournemouth

For what it is worth, we have also got our Super Six predictions ready, if you would like some further insight into the games. However, this is going to be solely based on statistics, rather than personal predictions, really.

From the Official Fantasy Premier League rankings, the following teams have the easiest fixtures:

• ASTON VILLA vs. Everton (H) - 2
• LEEDS vs. Fulham (H) - 2
• LIVERPOOL vs. Burnley (H) - 2
• NEWCASTLE vs. Wolves (A) - 2
• SPURS vs. West Ham (H) - 2

Using the odds from the bookmakers, we can find out the 'implied probability' of different results too, so according to the bookies, we have the following 'most likely' results:

1. Liverpool to Win vs. Burnley
2. Arsenal to Win vs. Nottingham Forest
3. Aston Villa to Win vs. Everton
4. Chelsea to Win vs. Brentford
5. Newcastle United to Win vs. Wolves

Outcome

Liverpool should be absolutely fine against Burnley at home this weekend, and it would be a shock to see the Clarets cause them any issues. In fact, I think the price may actually be alright for the Reds, if you want to combine them with others.

A lot of the same can be said for Arsenal and Aston Villa; both are in the title race and against struggling sides. As a result, you would expect both to get wins this weekend.

Newcastle are probably my final fancy of the weekend, and I feel that they have a great chance against Wolves. In fact, I am surprised that they are not first or second favourites to win this weekend.

With Chelsea, I am not as sure, I must admit. The market is really underestimating a good Brentford side, and I don't think the Blues are nailed on to win here. I would certainly avoid.

Clean Sheet Rankings

Whilst a lot of this section is probably similar to the actual fixture rankings, here we're going to be looking at the clubs most likely to keep Clean Sheets. As you would expect, many of the 'easier' fixtures also have lower Clean Sheet Odds.

So, taking the outcome from 'Exact' goals from all 10 Premier League games this weekend, we have found the highest and lowest odds.

The team most likely to keep a clean sheet this weekend is Liverpool, and their odds are 17/20, which is a 54.05% chance.

Following them, Arsenal (vs. Nottingham Forest) have a 45.45% chance, whilst Aston Villa (vs. Everton) have a 43.48% chance each of a clean sheet.

At the other end of the spectrum, it won't come as a surprise that Burnley are the most likely to concede a goal this weekend, with a 10% (12/1) likelihood of a clean sheet.

Outcome

Liverpool are the favourites for a clean sheet this weekend, but after conceding to a hit-and-miss Barnsley side in midweek, I am not sure they are the best value, admittedly.

Elsewhere, I am a little bit on the fence about Aston Villa and Arsenal. However, I'd feel more confident of the Gunners' chances. The fact that they are above Evens for a clean sheet is maybe an opportunity.

Newcastle should also be pretty safe against Wolves this weekend, and the fact that they are almost 2/1 with the best football bookmakers for a clean sheet this weekend is nice.

Scorer and Assist Bets

It is probably right for this bit to come last, simply based on the fact that we can take the odds from the results and also the list of Clean Sheet odds. So, we're going to target those teams that are seemingly a little more vulnerable.

Here are the complete odds for a clean sheet in the Premier League this weekend, with teams listed alphabetically:

After going through the odds of each player, here are the three most likely players to score or assist for each team this weekend.

The gold shows the highest likelihood of a contribution in the league, whilst the silver and bronze represent second and third. Other highlighted options show the top 10 most likely to contribute across the league:
