<h2 class="western">FPL Gameweek 19 Best Transfer Tips &#8211; The Premiums</h2>
<h3></h3>
<h3 class="western">Tottenham Hotspur</h3>
<p class="western">Different times lead to different criteria for buying players, so it&#8217;s fair to say those from Spurs should take up a decent chunk of your thoughts heading into Christmas.</p>
<p class="western">One of the main reasons for that is because the club is, compared to many, already &#8216;over&#8217; the latest Covid outbreak.</p>
<p class="western">Leading up to last weekend&#8217;s draw with Liverpool, only two of the nine first teamers who had tested positive for the virus were still in isolation.</p>
<p class="western">As a consequence of those earlier issues with Covid, they also have a relatively well rested squad as that Liverpool match was their first in three gameweeks.</p>
<p class="western">All of that and decent fixtures – Crystal Palace at home and then trips to Southampton and Watford – suggest festive investment in Spurs players could be fruitful.</p>
<p class="western">The obvious choices are the Gameweek 18 scorers, <strong>Heung-Min Son (£10.3m)</strong> and <strong>Harry Kane (£12.1m)</strong>.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-41871 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-2021-12-22-at-12.31.07.jpg" alt="Gameweek 19 best transfers" width="1584" height="1290" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-2021-12-22-at-12.31.07.jpg 1584w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-2021-12-22-at-12.31.07-300x244.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-2021-12-22-at-12.31.07-1024x834.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-2021-12-22-at-12.31.07-768x625.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-2021-12-22-at-12.31.07-1536x1251.jpg 1536w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-2021-12-22-at-12.31.07-610x497.jpg 610w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-2021-12-22-at-12.31.07-1080x880.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1584px) 100vw, 1584px" /></p>
<p class="western">Son offers more positives. He&#8217;s cheaper and in better form, with three goals and an assist from his last three starts.</p>
<p class="western">He&#8217;s also the more well-rounded asset when it comes to overall threat.</p>
<p class="western">Since Antonio Conte took over at Spurs in Gameweek 11, Kane leads the way for shots (19), but Son has had the same number of big chances (four) and has produced more key passes (8v6).</p>
<p class="western">To be fair to Kane, he&#8217;s provided four big chances to Son&#8217;s one, but the only area where some might be more drawn to the striker is his popularity – as a 5.7%-owned player, he&#8217;s a genuine differential.</p>
<p class="western">Son&#8217;s ownership is 16.2% for a reason as he looks the better bet.</p>
<p class="western">And if you want a punt, there&#8217;s always <strong>Dele Alli (£6.2m)</strong>.</p>
<p class="western">He started his first game under Conte against Liverpool and impressed, with a big chance failing to become a goal only because of the brilliance of <strong>Allison (£6.0m)</strong>.</p>
<p class="western">He also created a big chance of his own and, if given the opportunity, could do some damage against a generous Palace defence.</p>

<h2 class="western">FPL Gameweek 19 Best Transfer Tips &#8211; The Potentials</h2>
<h3></h3>
<h3>Arsenal (and a Liverpool defender)</h3>
<p class="western">Second guessing managers over Christmas is a long and fraught FPL tradition, but Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta gave us a couple of steers in the Gunners&#8217; 5-1 Carabao Cup win over Sunderland on Tuesday night.</p>
<p class="western">Key among them was the fact he started <strong>Emile Smith-Rowe (£6.1m)</strong> and benched <strong>Gabriel Martinelli (£5.3m)</strong>.</p>
<p class="western">In fairness, both probably needed what they were given. It was the former&#8217;s first start since Gameweek 14, while the latter has played 70 minutes or more of all of the last five league matches.</p>
<p class="western">Both are in great form.</p>
<p class="western">Smith-Rowe has scored in consecutive games despite being only a sub in both of them, while Martinelli&#8217;s four goals and two assists over the last six matches explains why he&#8217;ll probably be the most purchased player for the Boxing Day fixtures.</p>
<p class="western">Arteta has only started the pair together twice this season.</p>
<p class="western">He&#8217;d be brave not to do it again over Christmas, and who gets more game-time over the three festive fixtures is very hard to call.</p>
<p class="western">Arsenal face Norwich and Wolves to round off the year, suggesting they could add to the two clean sheets accrued from the last three matches.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-41873 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-2021-12-22-at-12.34.50.jpg" alt="best transfers gameweek 19 arsenal" width="1592" height="1294" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-2021-12-22-at-12.34.50.jpg 1592w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-2021-12-22-at-12.34.50-300x244.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-2021-12-22-at-12.34.50-1024x832.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-2021-12-22-at-12.34.50-768x624.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-2021-12-22-at-12.34.50-1536x1248.jpg 1536w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-2021-12-22-at-12.34.50-610x496.jpg 610w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-2021-12-22-at-12.34.50-1080x878.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1592px) 100vw, 1592px" /></p>
<p class="western">That should promote the attractiveness of <strong>Kieran Tierney (£4.8m)</strong>.</p>
<p class="western">The left-back is in great form, with three clean sheets and a couple of assists from his four starts since returning from injury.</p>
<p class="western">He&#8217;s had a stop-start season, which means he&#8217;s relatively rested so could be a Christmas ever-present.</p>
<p class="western">And since that Gameweek 15 return, only <strong>Trent Alexander-Arnold (£8.3m)</strong> has produced more points (36) among defenders than Tierney&#8217;s 33.</p>
<p class="western">Talking of Liverpool full-backs, a quick shout-out for <strong>Konstantinos Tsimikas (£3.7m)</strong>, seeing as he should be filling in while Andy Robertson (£7.1m) serves a three-match ban for his dismissal at Spurs.</p>
<p class="western">Leeds, Leicester and Chelsea (away) aren&#8217;t the ideal fixtures to go hunting clean sheets, but £3.7m for a starting Liverpool defender will never stop being eye-catching.</p>

<h2 class="western">FPL Gameweek 19 Best Transfer Tips &#8211; The Punts</h2>
<h3></h3>
<h3 class="western">Eric Bailly (£4.9m)</h3>
<p class="western">Both of the Christmas punts follow a theme: they&#8217;re well-priced defenders with fixtures that suggest clean sheets.</p>
<p class="western">Man United&#8217;s Bailly should be a shoo-in to start at least two of those matches, seeing as the squad is down to its bare bones – aka <strong>Phil Jones (£4.5m)</strong> – at centre-half.</p>
<p class="western">Baily has played under Ralf Rangnick and the new boss should turn to him again for plum matches against Newcastle (one goal in three), Burnley (none in three) and Wolves (one in six).</p>
<p>United have kept two clean sheets on the spin and, if money&#8217;s no option, <strong>Harry Maguire (£5.4m)</strong> is probably the best pick for playing the next three matches.</p>
<p>If money&#8217;s tight, however, Bailly&#8217;s a good bet for some Christmas cheer.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3 class="western">Jarrad Branthwaite (£4.0m)</h3>
<p class="western">This is as much about price as anything.</p>
<p class="western">For a knockdown fee, you&#8217;ll get an Everton defender who is highly likely to feature in at least one of the Toffees&#8217; three excellent Christmas matches.</p>
<p class="western">Branthwaite&#8217;s first start of the season last time out was a memorable one as he scored in a fighting 1-1 draw at Chelsea.</p>
<p class="western">Injuries and Covid have forced Everton manager Rafa Benitez into some creative recent line-ups, but Branthwaite impressed at Stamford Bridge and is a cut-price way into a defence that would hope to keep the likes of Burnley, Newcastle and Brighton at bay.</p>
<p class="western">The first two of those teams have already been shamed for their attacking ineptitude, and Brighton aren&#8217;t much better, with two goals scored over their last five fixtures.</p>
