The West Ham United striker has scored four goals and supplied four assists in the opening three Gameweeks, totalling 40 points.

Antonio was the second most-captained player in Gameweek 3, delivering a 22-point armband haul against Crystal Palace.

And the underlying numbers suggest he can repay managers' faith again.

His 16 shots, 13 shots in the box and six big chances are all more than any other player this term.

Target other forwards?

Antonio's fellow forwards Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.2m) and Romelu Lukaku (£11.5m) are also in fine form ahead of their favourable home fixtures.

Everton’s Calvert-Lewin entertains Burnley having scored in each of the first three Gameweeks.

The forward's fitness does need to monitored, though, as he is currently a doubt after withdrawing from the England squad with a muscle injury.

Lukaku, meanwhile, is expected to shrug off a minor thigh issue for Chelsea’s home meeting with Aston Villa.

Since re-signing for the club ahead of Gameweek 2, his 10 shots and nine shots in the box both rank second among all players.

Consider Spurs duo?

Elsewhere, Tottenham Hotspur pair Harry Kane (£12.3m) and Son Heung-min (£10.1m) could bring in big returns at Palace.

Kane produced the fourth-best haul of his Fantasy career in his last meeting with the Eagles, claiming 19 points thanks to two goals and two assists.

Son has been Spurs’ most explosive player this term, claiming two double-figure hauls in three appearances, and may be worth considering if he recovers from a calf injury.

Finally, Ferran Torres (£7.1m) has been given a role up front for Manchester City and poses a huge threat to Leicester City at King Power Stadium.

Listed as a midfielder in Fantasy, the Spaniard has hauls of 20 points and 18 points in his last four starts.
