Mohamed Salah (£12.9m) will once again be the overwhelming armband favourite for Liverpool’s trip to West Ham United.

Owned by 71.1 per cent of managers, he has produced six double-figure returns in his 10 outings this season, blanking only once.

However, James and Chilwell can also deliver huge hauls in Chelsea’s home encounter with Burnley.

James has produced scores of 18, 13 and 21 points this season. 

He is the top-scoring defender in Fantasy on 56 points, despite starting only five of the first 10 Gameweeks. 

Chilwell has averaged 10.8 points per match across his four outings, combining three goals with three assists. 

Consider Vardy?

Jamie Vardy (£10.8m) is also among the top alternatives to Salah as Leicester City visit Leeds United.

The forward produced 14 points in the corresponding fixture last term, scoring once and providing two assists.

Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden (£8.2m) boasts excellent away form ahead of the derby with Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The England star has racked up 25 points across his last two road trips, scoring three goals and supplying an assist. 

Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.4m) has three goals and an assist in his last two matches in all competitions for the Red Devils.

Kane and Son to improve under Conte?

Finally, the arrival of Antonio Conte as head coach of Tottenham Hotspur can raise the prospects of Harry Kane (£12.1m) and Son Heung-min (£10.2m) for their trip to Everton.

Kane has a prolific record at Goodison Park, recording double-figure Fantasy hauls in each of his last three visits. 

Son has been Spurs’ standout player this term. When selected, he has been involved in 67 per cent of their goals, scoring four and assisting two.
