Fantasy Premier League managers are making their final moves for Gameweek 15, with the deadline set for 11am on Saturday, December 6. The action returns after a busy midweek Premier League schedule, offering a fresh chance to climb the rankings.
Defensive and Goalkeeping Options
Despite a recent defeat to Newcastle, Everton's defensive form has been strong, largely thanks to goalkeeper Jordan Pickford (£5.5m). The England number one has secured three clean sheets in his last four outings and will be aiming for another when Everton host Nottingham Forest this weekend.
Midfield Maestros and Form Players
Manchester City's Phil Foden (£8.3m) is in a rich vein of scoring form, having found the net twice in consecutive matches against Fulham and Leeds. Historical trends suggest this could be the beginning of a significant point-scoring run for the midfielder. However, a note of caution exists: manager Pep Guardiola, who has expressed hopes Foden stays at City for his entire career, may consider resting him ahead of a crucial Champions League clash with Real Madrid on Wednesday.
At Newcastle, Bruno Guimaraes (£6.8m) has been a consistent performer, averaging 6.5 points over the last six gameweeks. Beyond his defensive contributions (DEFCON), the Brazilian has registered four goals and four assists this campaign. His teammate, Nick Woltemade (£7.4m), is gaining significant attention among the FPL community. With seven returns in 11 games and impressive underlying statistics—including an Expected Goals (xG) figure of 0.46 per 90 minutes, the seventh-highest in the game—he presents a compelling option.
An Effective Budget-Friendly Choice
For those seeking value, Arsenal's Mikel Merino (£6.0m) stands out as a highly effective pick. The Spanish midfielder has contributed either a goal or an assist in each of his last four matches and also boasts strong DEFCON numbers, making him a well-rounded asset for Gameweek 15.
