Fantasy Premier League 2017/18: Top picks for Gameweek 18

Tottenham Hotspur v Brighton and Hove Albion - Premier League
Harry Kane was poor this gameweek!

#4 Phil Jones (Manchester United) - Defender (£5.4)

Manchester United v Liverpool - Premier League
Phil Jones has been sensational for United

After being sidelined for 5 weeks with an injury, Phil Jones made his return to help Manchester United keep yet another clean sheet against Bournemouth during midweek. The timing of his return couldn't have been better from a fantasy point of view as Manchester United have an attractive run of fixtures lined up.

The Red Devils have conceded just thrice in the 12 games that Jones has featured in - two against Stoke City, and one against Chelsea. The defender has also bagged bonus points on five separate occasions in these 12 games.

All these stats make him an incredible Fantasy Premier League asset to have. Managers have clearly recognized this and his price is constantly on the rise, so look to get him in before he gets costlier.

On the flip side, Jones is an injury-prone player and Jose Mourinho will be looking to keep him fit which could see Jones being occasionally rotated across the busy festive period. However, with Bailly's injury being labelled as 'serious', Jones should feature in the starting eleven more often than not.
