Fantasy Football Tips: 5 Essential Transfers For Gameweek 19
3. Theo Walcott
Team: Arsenal Value: £9.3 million Points In GW18: 15 Theo Walcott has come on leaps and bounds since his frustrating spell on the sidelines with injury, scoring twice against West Ham on Boxing Day to send Arsenal storming back to the top of the table. And next up for the Gunners is Newcastle, who are fresh off hammering Stoke 5-1, though owe more than a little bit to good fortune for that result, given the Potters were contentiously reduced to nine men. That being said, that was still Newcastle's seventh win in nine games and you can't detract too much from their performance, though I suspect their winning-run will end on Sunday. The Magpies have won just one of their last 12 Premier League games against Arsenal and were slaughtered 7-3 exactly one year ago to the day of Sunday's fixture - Theo Walcott scored a hat-trick in that mauling, by the way. And I think the England international will be at it again this weekend, to keep his side top of the table.
