FORWARDS

Mohamed Salah, LIV v. WHU (£28): Salah's scoring exploits carried over to Champions League with a dazzling goal in Liverpool's 5-0 win over Porto last week. The goal marked the fourth consecutive game with a goal for Salah, and on a slate where Liverpool are heavy favorites you'd be bold to fade Salah in this spot.

Roberto Firmino, LIV v. WHU (£24): While Salah has garnered all the attention this season, Firmino has been scoring goals too. He has one in back-to-back games, and if we're jamming in Liverpool attackers, Salah and Firmino look like a lethal duo given the lack of options at the position.

Salomon Rondon, WBA v. HUD (£16): Rondon has taken three shots in each of his last two games, and he's just three games removed from an eight-shot outburst at Everton. He found the net in his last home game, and with Daniel Sturridge already ruled out, Rondon will be looked to for goals as West Brom try to claw their way up from the bottom of the Premier League table.

MIDFIELDERS

Sadio Mane, LIV v. WHU (£25): Mane erupted for a Champions League hat trick and 34.85 fantasy points in his last outing, serving up a quick reminder that he's also capable of shouldering the scoring load in a stacked Liverpool attack. Prior to the outburst, Mane posted a pair of three-point games, but given the upside he flashed in UCL, the Senagalese attacker has to be considered.

James Ward-Prowse, SOU at BRN (£16): Ward-Prowse has topped seven fantasy points in five straight games, with a majority of those coming through peripheral statistics. Southampton are currently in the relegation zone, and with Ward-Prowse driving the attack he's going to continue to have opportunities to contribute down the stretch.

Solly March, BHA v. SWA (£13): March scored 8.75 fantasy points without a goal or assist in his last outing, marking the second time over his last three starts that he's topped seven points without a goal. He's got some duds sprinkled in on his game log, but given the savings and matchup versus Swansea he's worth a look in tournaments.

DEFENDERS

Virgil van Dijk, LIV v. WHU (£15): Van Dijk has made an immediate impact since joining Liverpool, playing his part in back-to-back clean sheets and looking dangerous on the attacking end on occasion. He looks eager to open his Liverpool account, mixing it up in the box on set pieces and standing over the occasional direct free kick.

Emre Can, LIV v. WHU (£15): Can has failed to top 2.50 points in both of his last two games, but considering he generally lines up closer to goal than a true defender, he's in play here. The low point totals can be attributed to Can's knack for picking up yellow cards, but he's not shy about letting a shot fly from distance and has turned up with three goals and three assists already this season.

Jose Holebas, WAT v. EVE (£13): He's been lining up more centrally along the Watford back line, but Holebas continues to stand over a decent share of set pieces when he's on the field. He's got three assists on the season, and he'll as long as he's in the lineup he should continue to have opportunities to add to that total.

GOALKEEPER

Loris Karius, LIV v. WHU (£15): Karius has a clean sheet in back-to-back games, and he's scored at least seven fantasy points in four straight. There's not much to get excited about with the minimal savings any of the other goalkeeper options provide, and with money not an issue, making room for the goalkeeper on the biggest favorite just makes sense.
