Trent Alexander-Arnold (LIV) £7.7m

The Liverpool right-back offers multiple routes to returns at home to Crystal Palace. Alexander-Arnold has combined one goal and five assists with four clean sheets and 16 bonus points in his last nine appearances.

His 17 chances created in the last four Gameweeks are more than any other player in Fantasy, while his 11 shots place second for the Reds.

Mohamed Salah (LIV) £12.8m and Harry Kane (TOT) £11.9m

The Golden Boot rivals are also set to battle for the captaincy in Gameweek 38. Both have prolific records against their weekend opponents.

Liverpool’s Salah has five goals and four assists in last four meetings with Palace. Kane, meanwhile, has scored 14 goals for Tottenham Hotspur in his 11 meetings with Leicester City.

Kelechi Iheanacho (LEI) £6.2m

A home encounter with Spurs gives the Nigerian the chance to finish the season strongly.

The Leicester striker has racked up 44 points in his last five matches at King Power Stadium, scoring six goals and supplying an assist. He faces a defence who have conceded at least twice in each of their last three away matches.

Chris Wood (BUR) £6.5m 

Burnley frontman Wood visits relegated Sheffield United in excellent away form. He has scored six goals and supplied two assists in his last five road trips, totalling 46 points.

Wood's aerial threat could prove a major weapon at Bramall Lane. The Blades have conceded 98 headed attempts and 145 shots from set-pieces. Both those totals put them among the bottom five defences this season.

Ezgjan Alioski (LEE) £4.3m

The left-back provides managers with a cut-price route into the Leeds United defence for their home match with West Bromwich Albion.

Alioski has stepped up his attacking output recently, providing all three of his assists this season from Gameweek 31 onwards. The North Macedonia international has totalled 21 points over the last three Gameweeks, combining two assists with two clean sheets.

Sadio Mane (LIV) £11.7m and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (ARS) £11.3m

Upcoming European finals for both Manchester clubs means heavy rotation could be expected in Gameweek 38. Owners of Bruno Fernandes (£11.4m), the most popular player in the game, could consider either Mane or Aubameyang as a premium replacement.

Mane has scored in seven successive meetings with Palace, while Aubameyang faces Brighton & Hove Albion on the back of hauls of 15, 20 and 12 points in his last nine starts.

Remember, the Gameweek 38 deadline is at 14:30 BST on Sunday 23 May.
