A goal and an assist against Liverpool last weekend helped Jack Grealish (£6.8m) extend his fine run of displays in Fantasy Premier League.

The Manchester City winger collected 12 points in Saturday's 4-1 win, his biggest haul of the season.

Grealish is now the most-bought midfielder ahead of Saturday’s 11:00 BST deadline, gaining 45,000+ new owners for his trip to Southampton.

The England star has been among his side’s top performers in Fantasy since Gameweek 17.

Grealish has scored three of his four goals this term, and supplied six of his seven assists, from that point.

His total of 66 points in that run places him joint-second alongside Riyad Mahrez (£7.3m) among team-mates, bettered only by the 80 points of Erling Haaland (£12.0m).

Player Points Goals Assists Starts
Haaland 80 10 3 13
Grealish 66 3 6 12
Mahrez 66 4 6 9
De Bruyne 52 2 4 10

Crucially, Grealish has been immune to Pep Guardiola’s rotation recently and has started each of Man City’s last 10 league matches.

At a cost of just £6.8m, the winger seems set to offer Fantasy managers incredible value over the run-in.

Although Man City have a Blank Gameweek 32, they have a very kind Double Gameweek 34 against Fulham and West Ham United.

They also have a trip to Brighton & Hove Albion still to be rescheduled, which is likely to result in another Double Gameweek later in the campaign.

Haaland, meanwhile, has been sold by a combined 1.8 million managers across the last two Gameweeks.

If he is available for this weekend's encounter with Saints, many of those former owners will be rushing back to the Norwegian.

Finding the funds for both Haaland and Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) as premium big-hitters is likely to be a major priority for the run-in.

Liverpool also have a favourable Double Gameweek 34, entertaining both Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham, and offer managers a solution for Blank Gameweek 32, when they host Nottingham Forest.

Salah's recent output suggests he can provide a strong armband option over that period. 

The Egyptian has five goals, three assists and 55 points in his last seven outings.
