GW18 Kings to watch: Kieran Tierney

The Scout is tipping five players to produce big points in Gameweek 18 of Fantasy Premier League.

Kieran Tierney (ARS) £5.4m

The Arsenal left-back has been a big success in attack and defence in recent weeks in Fantasy.

Tierney has combined a goal and two assists with two clean sheets in the last three Gameweeks.

He has earned 28 points over those matches, helping Arsenal claim wins over Chelsea, Brighton & Hove Albion and West Bromwich Albion.

Tierney's GW17 goal

The underlying statistics show Tierney has been his side’s standout creator during that run of victories.

He has recorded seven key passes from Gameweek 15 onwards, more than any team-mate.

The Scot's improvement is evident from the fact he has created a chance every 39 minutes, more than twice as fast as his average of 83 minutes over the first 14 Gameweeks. 

In demand

Tierney’s form has made him a top target for managers looking to navigate the reduced Gameweek 18, when just six matches are scheduled to take place.

Indeed, he is the most-bought defender ahead of Tuesday’s 16:30 GMT deadline, being snapped up by over 215,000 managers for his home meeting with Crystal Palace.

The Eagles' problems at both ends of the pitch look promising for Tierney’s new owners.

Palace have conceded 15 big chances in the last four Gameweeks, more than any other side.

Furthermore, Palace have failed to score in three of their last five away matches.

That lifts Tierney’s chances of bringing in a bumper haul at Emirates Stadium on Thursday.
