FORWARDS

Mohamed Salah, LIV v. BOU (£27): Salah continues to amaze, bagging a crucial goal in midweek Champions League action to help Liverpool advance to the semi-finals. He has 29 league goals on the season, and a home fixture with a Bournemouth squad that have been leaking goals looks like a recipe for Salah to distance himself from Harry Kane in the Golden Boot standings.

Harry Kane, TOT v. MCI (£26): Speaking of the Golden Boot, Kane has won it the last two years and has made it clear that he has every intention of winning it again when he won his appeal to have what was originally deemed a Christian Eriksen goal overturned and awarded to him. He's facing a dejected Manchester City squad that have shown some vulnerabilities recently, and this looks like a spot that Kane could go off for a multi-goal game with the Golden Boot race heating up.

Steve Mounie, HUD v. WAT (£16): Huddersfield sit just two spots clear of the relegation zone, and they'll want to give themselves some breathing room with a result at home against Watford. Enter Mounie, who topped 15 fantasy points with a goal on four shots in a full 90 minutes last weekend. With Huddersfield pushing for safety, Mounie will continue to be looked to for production down the stretch.

MIDFIELDERS

Christian Eriksen, TOT v. MCI (£24): Eriksen continues to pile up the points, coming off a 28-point effort thanks to a brace in last Saturday's win at Stoke (one of the goals was later given to Kane, at least according to the Premier League). He has a much tougher matchup versus Manchester City, but given City's recent struggles I think Eriksen keeps it going as Tottenham look to get a statement win.

Johann Berg Gudmundsson, BRN v. LEI (£16): Gudmundsson is back in training and could return to the pitch for the first time in over a month. Before his injury, he was averaging nearly nine points per game over his last five appearances, and if he's back in the starting lineup he makes for a good value play at £16.

James Milner, LIV v. BOU (£15): There's some rotation risk with Liverpool coming off an emotional Champions League quarterfinal win over Manchester City, but given the injury woes to their midfield corps, Milner should be safe. He's averaging 8.5 points per game across his last four outings, and his role on set pieces gives him multiple opportunities to contribute an assist.

DEFENDERS

Kiko Femenia, WAT at HUD (£15): Femenia continues to play a more advanced role, with a combined 21 fantasy points in his last two games. He's on the road, but the fixture at Huddersfield isn't daunting, and as long as he continues to lineup in the attack, he's worth a play as a defender who can bring more attacking punch to our lineup.

Alberto Moreno, LIV v. BOU (£15): This play hinges on manager Jurgen Klopp's lineup rotation, as Moreno just recently returned from injury and could make his way back into the starting lineup if Klopp opts to make changes. A home game against Bournemouth would be a strong spot for Moreno to produce a worthy fantasy total through peripherals alone, and the odds favor a Liverpool clean sheet as well.

Serge Aurier, TOT v. MCI (£14): Aurier scored just 3.75 fantasy points in his last outing, but he comes with nice attacking appeal anytime he's on the field. In a high profile game with Manchester City, look for him to be involved on both ends if he's in the starting lineup.

GOALKEEPERS

Loris Karius, LIV v. BOU (£16): Karius and Liverpool are riding high after eliminating Manchester City in the Champions League. Now they're back home and should have no problem taking care of business against Bournemouth. Keep an eye on starting lineups, as while goalkeeper rotation is rare, it's not unthinkable that Karius could be given a break, which could give us Simon Mignolet (£13) at a nice discount.
