The Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder has produced 34 points in his four road trips under head coach Roberto De Zerbi.

That includes a hat-trick against Liverpool and a goal at Manchester City.

Trossard is picked in a 3-4-3 line-up for Gameweek 17, with Erling Haaland (£12.2m) handed the armband and Marcus Rashford (£6.7m) named as vice-captain.

Aaron Ramsdale (ARS) £4.9m

The Arsenal goalkeeper faces West Ham United at Emirates Stadium in fine form. Ramsdale has kept a clean sheet in four of his last five outings, amassing 30 points in that period.

Joao Cancelo (MCI) £7.4m

Manchester City’s Portuguese defender offers many routes to returns at Leeds United. Cancelo has combined two goals and two assists with six clean sheets and 10 bonus points this season.

Reece James (CHE) £5.8m

The Chelsea wing-back has returned to full training ahead of a home encounter with AFC Bournemouth. James delivered six double-figure hauls in just 22 starts in the previous campaign.

Luke Shaw (MUN) £4.8m

A home encounter with Nottingham Forest gives the left-back the chance to continue his consistent form in Fantasy. Shaw has blanked only once in Manchester United’s previous six matches.

Wilfried Zaha (CRY) £7.5m

The Crystal Palace talisman entertains Fulham on the back of two goals against Real Valladolid last weekend. Zaha’s 35 shots, 26 shots in the box, eight big chances and 15 shots on target all rank top for the Eagles this term.

Leandro Trossard (BHA) £7.1m

The Belgian’s 20 shots in the box rank second among midfielders in Fantasy since De Zerbi was appointed Brighton head coach in Gameweek 9.

Gabriel Martinelli (ARS) £6.8m

Arsenal's Brazilian has been far more productive at Emirates Stadium in 2022/23, where he has scored four of his five goals. Indeed, Martinelli’s total of 44 points at home is more than any other Gunners midfielder.

Marcus Rashford (MUN) £6.7m

The Man Utd star has averaged 8.2 points per start at Old Trafford this season. Rashford is the most-bought player in Fantasy over the last 24 hours, earning 90,000 new owners following his EFL Cup goal against Burnley.

Erling Haaland (MCI) £12.2m

Man City’s Norwegian has averaged 9.5 points per match in his debut Fantasy campaign on his way to the top of the player standings. Now owned by over 83 per cent of managers, Haaland will be a huge captaincy favourite against Leeds.

Harry Kane (TOT) £11.6m

The Tottenham Hotspur frontman faces Brentford on the back of two goals and three assists for England during FIFA World Cup 2022. Kane has blanked in only three of his 15 appearances in 2022/23.

Darwin Nunez (LIV) £9.0m

He is the third most-bought player in the unlimited free transfers period, collecting 497,000 new owners for Liverpool's visit to Aston Villa. Darwin produced five goals and an assist in his final seven matches in all competitions before the season break.

GW17 deadline: 11:00 GMT, Mon 26 Dec
