A home encounter with Crystal Palace raises the appeal of Arsenal’s form players for the reduced Gameweek 18 in Fantasy Premier League.

Mikel Arteta’s side have won each of their last four matches in all competitions, with the performances of Kieran Tierney (£5.4m) a major factor.

The left-back has produced one goal, three assists and three clean sheets over that run, including his season-high haul of 18 points against West Bromwich Albion in the previous Gameweek.

His team-mates Emile Smith Rowe (£4.4m) and Alexandre Lacazette (£8.3m) have produced 18 and 27 points respectively over the last three Gameweeks.

They are also included in a Selection that lines up in a 3-5-2 formation, with Bruno Fernandes (£11.3m) handed the armband and Kevin De Bruyne (£11.7m) named vice-captain.

Karl Darlow (NEW) £5.0m

A visit to Sheffield United looks promising for the Newcastle United goalkeeper. Darlow faces a Blades side who have failed to score in each of the last three Gameweeks.

Joao Cancelo (MCI) £5.8m

The Manchester City full-back hosts Brighton & Hove Albion on the back of four clean sheets in his last six matches.

Since making his debut in Gameweek 5, Cancelo’s 24 chances created rank second among defenders in FPL. 

Romain Saiss (WOL) £5.1m

The Wolverhampton Wanderers centre-back has scored twice in the last three Gameweeks, totalling 19 points.

Saiss looks a strong all-round prospect at home to an Everton side who have injury concerns in attack. The Toffees are without Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.8m), while Richarlison (£7.8m) is a doubt for the match at Molineux. 

Kieran Tierney (ARS) £5.4m

The Arsenal left-back is the most-bought defender in the Gameweek, earning more than 251,000 new owners. 

Kevin De Bruyne (MCI) £11.7m

A goal and an assist against Chelsea last time out earned the Belgian 13 points. De Bruyne has produced three of his four double-figure hauls this season in his last seven outings.

Bruno Fernandes (MUN) £11.3m

Manchester United’s playmaker has scored four goals and supplied three assists in his last four Gameweeks. Away from home, Fernandes has averaged 10.0 points per match this season. 

Son Heung-min (TOT) £9.8m

The top-scoring player in FPL will be among the key captaincy contenders for Tottenham Hotspur's rescheduled match against Fulham. Son has produced double-figure hauls in three of his last four home appearances. 

Pedro Neto (WOL) £6.0m

The Wolves star has scored or assisted in four of his last five home matches. Neto faces an Everton side who have managed only two clean sheets in their previous seven road trips. 

Emile Smith Rowe (ARS) £4.4m

The Arsenal starlet has supplied three assists in the last three Gameweeks. Smith Rowe was also on the scoresheet in his team's FA Cup win over Newcastle at the weekend. 

Harry Kane (TOT) £11.0m

The Spurs forward has 10 goals and 11 assists this term, the first time in his FPL career he has produced double-figures for both statistics.

Kane is in fine home form ahead of his meeting with Fulham on Wednesday. He has produced 12 points against both Arsenal and Leeds United in his last three fixtures at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. 

Alexandre Lacazette (ARS) £8.3m

Arsenal’s forward has scored four of his seven goals for the season in the last three Gameweeks. Lacazette’s total of seven shots on target in that period was more than any other player in FPL.

Remember, the Gameweek 18 deadline is at 16:30 GMT on Tuesday.
