Gameweek 16 – the last round of Fantasy Premier League football before the World Cup 2022 begins. FPL managers can ease their minds a bit and then come back stronger, well rested, and with a fully focused mind again before boxing day.
Or perhaps play FIFA World Cup 2022 Fantasy meanwhile.
Nevertheless, let’s jump to our FPL GW16 Tips with transfers targets, captain, odds, and team selection.
- If you had a bad gameweek in GW15 (or captained Cancelo as I did), do not get too emotional. Take a few days break from FPL but go back on Friday to make your moves for Gameweek 16
- Do not wait for team news very close to deadline, and make your moves early, in order to avoid server crash again
- If a server crash happens again and you are unable to make your moves through the FPL website, try the mobile app instead – so install it and login way earlier before the deadline and have it ready
- If you have your Wildcard left – use it now as your free hit, we all get unlimited transfers after GW16
- Do not forget there are EFL Cup games midweek, so watch out for potential injuries – and rotation hints. Cancelo should serve his one match ban in the cup game, so should be ready to play against Brentford.
- Transfer Targets for GW16: Salah (captaincy candidate), Haaland (if you sold him), Perišič (great pick if he plays up top against Leeds), Nunez (if your forward line have issues and injuries)
- You can take few punts for GW16, solely for this gameweek
- Gameweek 16 Differential: Robertson
- Differential captain for GW16. Nunez
