Chris Wood (BUR) £6.2m
A home fixture against Newcastle United gives the Burnley striker the chance to extend his scoring streak. Wood has netted in three successive matches, claiming 27 points over that run. He has produced eight shots on target over the last four Gameweeks, joint-top with Harry Kane (£11.7m) among all players in Fantasy, and he faces a Newcastle side who have conceded eight goals in their last four away matches.

Stuart Armstrong (SOU) £5.5m and Danny Ings (SOU) £8.4m
The Southampton pair visit West Bromwich Albion on the back of a goal apiece against Burnley last weekend. Armstrong has blanked just once in his last four matches and produced 11 shots in that period, joint-top among all midfielders. Ings claimed 11 points in the 3-2 win over the Clarets. He has been involved in 46 per cent of Saints' goals this season.

Mason Greenwood (MUN) £7.0m
Greenwood offers managers a major differential option for Manchester United's match at Tottenham Hotspur. The teenager, who struck the decisive goal against Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend, is owned by only 1.9 per cent of FPL managers. Greenwood has produced eight shots in the box over the Red Devils' last two matches, at least double the number of any team-mate. Indeed, his total of 10 shots in his last two appearances ranks second among all players in Fantasy.

Jesse Lingard (WHU) £6.3m
Lingard is among the top captain contenders at home against Leicester. He has produced double-digit returns in four of his eight appearances for West Ham United, averaging 8.5 points per match. Since making his debut for the Hammers in Gameweek 22, Lingard has scored six goals, more than any midfielder in that period, while his 14 shots on target are joint-top with Bruno Fernandes (£11.6m) in his position in Fantasy.
James Maddison (LEI) £7.1m
Maddison's return to fitness can prove significant for Fantasy managers over the run-in. Leicester City’s playmaker had blanked in only two out of nine starts before being sidelined through injury. Maddison, who visits West Ham on the back of 34 points in his last five away matches, also has a strong schedule to follow. The Foxes face four of the bottom nine sides from Gameweeks 32 to 35.

Gabriel Jesus (MCI) £9.2m and Sergio Aguero (MCI) £10.3m
Manchester City's forwards could profit from their midweek rest in the UEFA Champions League. Having been rotated out of the starting XI on Tuesday, they could now be handed their third successive Premier League starts as Man City host Leeds United. Gabriel Jesus has four goals in his last four Gameweek appearances, while Aguero netted against Fulham in Gameweek 28. Leeds, meanwhile, have conceded 30 away goals, the joint second-worst record in the Premier League.
