Emiliano Martinez (AVL) £5.4m

Aston Villa’s No 1 has averaged 5.2 points per match on his way to the top of the goalkeeper standings in Fantasy. Martinez had a successful previous meeting with his visitors West Bromwich Albion, keeping a clean sheet and earning six points in Gameweek 14.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (LIV) £7.5m

His nine chances created over the last four Gameweeks are joint-top among all players in Fantasy.

Romain Saiss (WOL) £5.0m

The Wolverhampton Wanderers centre-back can bring in points at both ends of the pitch at home to Burnley. Saiss has three clean sheets in his last five appearances, while his 18 shots in the box rank fifth among defenders this season.

Lewis Dunk (BHA) £4.9m

The Brighton & Hove Albion defender visits Sheffield United on the back of three clean sheets in his last four matches. Dunk’s 24 shots in the box and 12 shots on target both place second among defenders in Fantasy.

Mason Greenwood (MUN) £7.1m

The teenager has scored four of his five goals this season in the last three Gameweeks, claiming 32 points. Greenwood’s 15 shots in the box across his previous four outings is a league-leading total.
