Marcus Rashford, Man Utd, £6.9m – Everton home
Yes, I’m playing with fire a bit, treble against Manchester United for the second time in three weeks, but it was worth it against Leicester.
If Rashford is going to play out of position as a striker in this new United setup, then that makes him a viable option for the FPL.
This match could be a Sean Dyche defensive classic, but an early goal should help United score some.
Bukayo Saka, Arsenal, £10.2m – away to West Ham
Is Saka a regular captain choice? Fair three double-digit returns this season say no.
Is Saka a great and reliable FPL asset? Yes, he is easily the best striker option for the Gunners.
The English midfielder’s performances against Forest last week and in the Champions League against Sporting on Tuesday have been sensational and he is back on track after a quiet few weeks.
Saka leads almost all of Arsenal’s attacking statistics. What I like most are the 29 shots into the area, more than two per game.
Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.9m – home of Aston Villa
Three blanks in a row for Palmer. Before, seven goals and five assists in nine games.
He is too involved in Chelsea’s attacking play for that poor run of form to continue and Villa have conceded 10 goals in their last three games.
Bryan Mbeumo, Brentford, £7.9m – home of Leicester City
It’s a week of back-up matches and past performances in form, as Mbeumo has only returned once in his last three.
But the Cameroonian striker has been brilliant this season and faces a Leicester side who are woeful at the back.
It would be right to consider leaving Mbeumo behind on a horrible run for Brentford at Christmas, but he has one more game in this team of the week.
James Maddison, Spurs, £7.6m – home of Fulham
Maddison has been an enigma this season. Early substitutions, benched in juicy home games and then scores twice at the Etihad Stadium.
The England international is fifth in the midfield scoring charts, with 68 points, and Ange Postecoglou will surely pick him in a home game against Fulham, where Spurs should be ahead.
With over six points per start this season, Maddison deserves a punt.
