ALL 20 Premier League teams are set to play twice in Gameweek 16. As a result, it's bound to a high-scoring affair and so it's imperative all Dream Team managers confirm some smart transfers before Saturday's 11am deadline - it might be a good idea to activate a Booster as well.

As usual, we won't insult your intelligence by recommending Bukayo Saka (£6.9m), Mohamed Salah (£7.6m) and other obvious players but allow us to present some alternative transfer suggestions. Jarrod Bowen (£5.9m). Let's start with an immensely tempting one-week punt.

West Ham's No20 averages 7.5 points-per-game this season and leads the way among forwards for bonus points. More recently, Bowen has produced 86 points since the start of Gameweek 7 at an average of 8.6 per outing - an outstanding effort given what most of his team-mates have produced.

Those numbers suggest it's reasonable to expect a healthy haul from the England international in Gameweek 16 with the Hammers set to take on Brighton and Southampton. Saints conceded five goals in one half in their last league game so it wouldn't be a surprise if Bowen cleaned up on Boxing Day.

Gabriel (£5.3m). William Saliba (£5.3m) did an excellent job filling in as Arsenal's primary set-piece threat but the main man is back now. Gabriel marked his return from injury with a nine-point return against Everton last weekend and the Gunners will be hopeful of at least one clean sheet in Gameweek 16 up against Crystal Palace and Ipswich - two of the lowest scorers in the top flight this season.
