BIG GUNS
If you want the big points, you’ve got to pay the big money.
Diego Costa
Chelsea’s game at the Brittania is not an easy one, but after breaking his dry spell against Hull last week, back the Brazilian to get at least one more on Monday night.
Leighton Baines
Baines is a consistent, if expensive fantasy choice. With penalties, free-kicks and corners in his armoury, he’s always a good bet to pick up points.
Christian Eriksen
Eriksen is on a hot streak at the moment, and his expert finishing from the edge of the box always gives him a chance at points; as does playing behind the in-form Harry Kane.
BARGAIN BASEMENT
They’ll at least get appearance points.
Charlie Austin
Austin is deadly at home and has just come back from a suspension enforced rest. The Englishman will be licking his lips at the prospect of facing West Brom.
Diafra Sakho
The Senegal striker has scored in all but one of his games at Upton Park this season, and you can count on him getting another this weekend against the flimsy Leicester defence.
Winston Reid
Leicester’s attack isn’t much better – Reid has a great shot at a clean sheet and doesn’t cost much either.
Steven Taylor
Only 4.5m and with a home fixture against goal-shy Sunderland in prospect. Always a threat from set-pieces too…
WILDCARDS
Don’t blame me if they get nothing…
Edin Dzeko
Manchester City have a fantastic run of fixtures coming up, and Dzeko is bound to pick up some points. The only question is over his fitness. With Aguero out the Bosnian has a big chance, and you should take one yourself by bringing him into your side.
Graziano Pelle
Everyone else in your league has taken him out for trendy options like Charlie Austin and Harry Kane, but the Italian striker just won’t stop scoring, no matter how bad Southampton’s form is.
Wilfried Bony
Swansea’s away form is dreadful, but it’s hard to argue with Bony’s 8 in 10, and Hull will struggle to cope with his physical presence.
Super Frankie Lampard
Manchester City have great fixtures, and the league’s greatest goalscoring midfielder in fine form in the middle of the park. Even better – he takes a mean set piece.
