Part of the reason why we all love English Premier League is the unpredictability of the results, Premier league teams are no respecters of form, superstars or 'big teams'. This fact was laid bare yesterday in the final game of Week 24 when Swansea hosted a highflying Liverpool team who themselves came into the game on the back of defying the odds to hand Champions elect; Manchester city their first defeat of the campaign, Liverpool were in for a shock as they were defeated by the bottom team of the premier league and their 18 game unbeaten run brought to an end. Elsewhere Premier league champions roared back to life with a comprehensive victory against Brighton and Manchester City bounced back from their first defeat of the campaign to win against Newcastle. The top performers of the round were Victor Moses and Aguero, they both accumulated 17 points.

Schmeichel: Goalkeeper Leicester with 9 points
Moses: Defender Chelsea with 17 points

Top Picks Week 23
There will be no premier league action this weekend, instead there will be fixtures for the FA Cup. However,we would not have to wait for a long time, the premier league resumes on the Tuesday the 30th of January. The fixture most people are looking forward to is the one between Spurs and Manutd, Manutd have officially announced the signing of Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal, he is in line to make his debut for his new club and what a game that to make a first appearance.

Every week I try to pick the best FPL team based on the following conditions:
* Players form
* Difficulty of opponent
* Player must be priced £9 or lower
* A team can’t have more than 3 players selected in the team
Find below my top picks for Week 23
Ederson: Goalkeeper Mancity
Alonso: Defender Chelsea
Azpilicueta: Defender Chelsea
Moses: Defender Chelsea
Davies: Defender Spurs
Mahrez: Midfielder Leicester
Son: Midfielder Spurs
Ali: Midfielder Spurs
Arnautovic: Midfielder West ham
Albrighton: Midfielder Leicester
Vardy: Forward Leicester

I opted for a 4-4-1-1 formation.

fantasy is all good and well...but i gotta know your take...With the signing of Sanchez, can MANU make a comeback??? Or does City have it in the bag??

The gap is massive and the signing of Sanchez looks to be coming a bit late for Manutd to challenge for the title but this is football and anything can happen. It is Manchester city's title to loose.
