Introduction
The Gameweek 27 of the EPL was quite fascinating bearing upsets for big teams as well as some good wins. The week started off with disappointment for FPL team makers with Arsenal being held 1-1 to Burnley. The biggest dismay was yet to come through and it happened with a 0-1 loss of Liverpool to Fulham. After that, there were some familiar results for the big sides with United pulling off a 2-0 win at Etihad. Tottenham also won quite convincingly to Crystal Palace with a scoreline of 4-1. Chelsea also regained their form after the United draw and won 2-0 to an in-form Everton. Lastly, West Ham United finished the week’s proceedings with a tricky 2-0 win to Leeds United. In this Gameweek 28 of the FPL, we would select our team keeping in mind the fixtures for this week.

We would also ensure that the best team is made out by using least amount of money.
GOALKEEPER FOR FPL

The Argentine has been in great form for Villa between the two sticks this season. He has made a whopping 96 saves for them, making him one among the five top goalkeepers in EPL. With Aston Villa slated to face a depleted Newcastle attack, he is expected to keep a clean sheet against them.
OR
Jordan Pickford (Everton) Value – £ 4.8m
The Everton goalie has been excellent in the goal for the Toffees. He is among the top 10 savemakers in the PL this season. Everton are taking on Leeds this gameweek and he is expected to produce a fine performance.

Defenders for FPL
João Cancelo (Man City) Value – £6.2m
The Portuguese is in swashbuckling form for the Citizens both in the Champions league as well as the EPL. His ability to give inch perfect crosses and defence splitting passes are an invaluable asset to the Man City side.
