Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane (£12.5m) has the form and fixture to provide an armband solution for owners of Mohamed Salah (£13.3m) in Gameweek 32 of Fantasy Premier League.

Salah is the most-selected player in Fantasy, found in 60.4 per cent of squads, but many could choose to overlook him for Liverpool’s match at Manchester City on Sunday.

Kane, meanwhile, visits Aston Villa in his most prolific form of the campaign.

The Spurs forward has blanked in just one of his last eight appearances, totalling 70 points thanks to seven goals and five assists. 

His team-mate Son Heung-min (£11.0m) is also in fine form, returning back-to-back double-figure hauls for the first time this term.

Salah’s record against Man City, however, suggests managers should not overlook him.

The Liverpool star has scored in four of their last five meetings, including a 13-point haul in Gameweek 7.

Man City’s Kevin De Bruyne (£11.7m), meanwhile, has recorded five of his six double-figure scores this season in home matches. 

He has 42 points in his previous four appearances at the Etihad Stadium, thanks to four goals and an assist.

Elsewhere, Reece James (£6.3m) and Bruno Fernandes (£11.6m) boast strong away records ahead of their visits to Southampton and Everton respectively.

Chelsea wing-back James has produced four of his top five scores this season on the road, averaging 8.6 points per away match. 

Manchester United playmaker Fernandes has three goals, three assists and 39 points over his last five away appearances. 

Midfield differentials

Finally, Leicester City’s James Maddison and West Ham United’s Jarrod Bowen (both £6.9m) also merit consideration.

Maddison welcomes Crystal Palace on the back of 60 points in his last seven home matches. 

Bowen travels to Brentford having produced 13 points against Everton last weekend, his seventh double-figure haul of 2021/22 Fantasy.
