FORWARDS

Harry Kane, TOT at STK (£25): Kane looks set to return to the starting lineup at Stoke after featuring off the bench last weekend in his return from injury. He has arguably the biggest upside of any player on the slate, and if he's in the starting lineup he'll be hard to fade given the matchup and high ownership.

Riyad Mahrez, LEI v. NEW (£21): Despite not hitting the scoresheet for the first time in three games, Mahrez still earned a serviceable 7.80 fantasy points in his last game. Prior to that he registered at least 17 in three straight, and he's in a good bounce-back spot at home against a Newcastle side that he hung 17 points on earlier in the season.

Salomon Rondon, WBA v. BRN (£17): Rondon came through with another goal last weekend, and he's now hit double-digit points in four straight. West Brom are last in the table and have no choice but to attack and hope results fall their way over the last six games of the season, so there's no reason to think Rondon slows down here.

MIDFIELDERS

Son Heung-Min, TOT at STK (£24): Son hammered out three shots on target against Chelsea last weekend, and while he failed to find the scoresheet he still ended up with 8.75 points. He came back down to earth after scoring a combined 75 points over three appearances in March, but a matchup with a vulnerable Stoke City defense is a prime spot for him to get back among the goals.

Christian Eriksen, TOT at STK (£22): Eriksen has been a double-digit point machine, topping 10 points in six of his last seven. He bagged a stunner in last weekend's win over Chelsea, and he's back in play in an even better matchup at Stoke.

Dele Alli, TOT at STK (£18): Dele came through with a brace en route to 25 fantasy points in Tottenham's statement win over Chelsea last weekend. He now has three goals and an assist over his last two outings, and he looks to have turned the corner after a string of pedestrian performances.

DEFENDERS

Nicolas Otamendi, MCI v. MUN (£16): Otamendi is someone who can churn out a good fantasy score regardless of clean sheet points. His game suits the Yahoo scoring format, and he delivered 16.50 fantasy points, including a goal, the last time he faced Manchester United.

Kiko Femenia, WAT v. BRN (£14): Kiko has been playing in a more advanced role, and he came through with a goal in last weekend's 2-2 draw with Bournemouth. If he continues to line up in the attack then he's back in play as a defender who brings more attacking firepower to our lineup.

Jose Holebas, WAT v. BRN (£14): Holebas proved his worth with an assist last game, highlighting his ability to contribute in the attack as Watford's primary set piece taker. He gets another good matchup at home against Burnley, and it would be no surprise to see him tack on another assist.

GOALKEEPER

Hugo Lloris, TOT at STK (£15): Lloris is up against a Stoke squad who have been held scoreless in three of their last four games. The Potters are facing relegation, so I don't expect them to just roll over, so they should produce ample opportunities for Lloris to earn points through saves to go along with any potential win and/or clean sheet bonuses.
