FORWARDS
Alexis Sanchez, MUN v. SWA (£26): Sanchez has done very little since joining Manchester United in January, and he's been avoidable for fantasy purposes up until now. At home against Swansea is a spot where Sanchez can erupt for a monster fantasy score, and given his recent run of bad form, we may get him at lower ownership.
Romelu Lukaku, MUN v. SWA (£24): Lukaku is the more goal-dependent play out of the Red Devils' forward camp, but a case could be made for rolling either or both out in the same lineup. With no Champions League left on the schedule, Manchester United have no reason to hold back here, so we'll want to ensure we have maximum exposure in case the goals start flowing.
Jose Rondon, WBA v. BRN (£16): Rondon has scored at least 10 fantasy points in three straight appearances, and he continues to provide value at the forward position as West Brom fight for their Premier League lives. He's been firing shots off at will and deserves strong consideration at home against Burnley.
MIDFIELDERS
Riyad Mahrez, LEI at BHA (£22): Mahrez comes in on fire, having topped 17 points in three straight, and he's now up against a Brighton squad that's coming off a bad loss at home to Crystal Palace. Despite the uptick in production, he's the cheapest he's been since December and looks like a nice value given his run of good form.
Raheem Sterling, MCI at EVE (£21): With Sergio Aguero unlikely to play, Sterling will shoulder more of the goal scoring load at Everton on Saturday. Despite just one goal across his last five appearances, he's hit double-digit fantasy points in four of his last five and is in prime position to do so again with added responsibility in the attack.
Kenedy, NEW v. HUD (£16):Kenedy broke the slate last time he was in play with a two-goal, 22-point outburst versus Southampton. He gets another good matchup where he could turn up with a goal against Huddersfield, but just be wary of his boom-or-bust risk. Prior to the big outing he was hovering around three-to-five points per game.
DEFENDERS
Chris Smalling, MUN v. SWA (£15): There just aren't many top options that stick out at the defender position on this slate, which generally leads me to chasing clean sheet points. While he can't always be counted on for attacking points, Smalling has been earning points on both sides of the ball and should continue to be a factor at home against Swansea.
Jose Holebas, WAT v. BOU (£14): Holebas continues to stand over the majority of Watford's set pieces, giving us added opportunities to knick an assist from the defender position. He's capable of producing fantasy points without the clean sheet bonus, as he's topped six points in two of his last three through peripherals alone.
Cedric Soares, SOU at WHA (£13): Cedric is fully capable of making his mark in the attack any given game, as seen by his four shot, 14-point outing two games ago. On a slate lacking defensive options, Cedric provides decent value considering his upside.
GOALKEEPER
David de Gea, MUN v. SWA (£16): de Gea hasn't posted a clean sheet in league play in quite some time, but he continues to rack up the wins and Swansea present a good opportunity to collect the five-point shutout bonus as well. With goalkeeper pricing as tight as it is on Yahoo, I generally opt to play it safe and find room for the biggest home favorite on the board.
