Kevin de Bruyne, Manchester City, £9.5m – Southampton (a)
De Bruyne has had two double digit hauls in the past four weeks.
He’s started the past five games, so worries about his fitness should not be an issue and the Belgian only has three league games left in his City career.
If he’s going out with a bang, this game against one of the worst teams in Premier League history is the perfect setting.
Bryan Mbeumo (vice-captain), Brentford, £8.2m – Ipswich (a)
If he is not in your side, I’d highly recommend targeting Mbeumo for the run-in.
Brentford are chasing Europe and have three attractive fixtures against Ipswich, Fulham and Wolves.
Mbeumo has 26 FPL returns this season and six double-digit hauls – so you are buying both the security of a likely return and the potential of a huge points score.
And that is the kind of player you want to propel you up your mini leagues in an end-of-season charge.
Alex Iwobi, Fulham, £5.6m – Everton (h)
Iwobi has been on fire in the past five gameweeks with 30 FPL points (tied with Sessegnon for highest Fulham scorer).
He’s had more shots, goal involvements and big chances created than any other Fulham defender and faces an Everton side with one clean sheet in 10 matches.
Yankuba Minteh, Brighton, £4.8m – Wolves (a)
A bit of a flyer but Minteh is a fine FPL pick when he gets minutes on the pitch.
The Gambian has started four of the past five games for Brighton and his 5.38 points per 90 minutes is the highest of any Seagulls midfielder this season.
Brighton are another team chasing European qualification, so it makes sense to target their assets.
