FPL Tips Gameweek 17 | Last Minute
Fantasy Football Tips GW17 from our Fantasy Football Community ahead of the deadline.
With our teams blighted by injuries, rotation and postponements, what’s next for our Fantasy Football tips for Gameweek 17?
Injuries
There’s plenty of injury news for the fantasy football tips gameweek 17, including news of a hamstring injury for Burnley’s Charlie Taylor. He’s seen a huge increase in ownership over recent weeks, ahead of favourable fixtures plus a Double Gameweek on the horizon, but the prognosis does not look too promising according to Ben Dinnery.“Charlie Taylor is a hamstring injury. We will wait and see but we are stretched again. Josh Benson came on wide and did a real shift for the team. We are stretched and we can only hope these injuries stop coming and we can get everyone fit.” https://t.co/y9iJZPZygT
