Even after entering, Fantasy managers can make changes to their team, selecting any players who are yet to play their match during the midweek round of fixtures.

Here, The Scout pinpoints the players and matches to target over the remaining two matches.

Thursday 19:30 BST (final deadline)
Liverpool v Sheffield United

There’s a strong argument for picking four or even five Liverpool players for their home match against Sheffield United. Jurgen Klopp’s side have scored a league-high 40 goals in home matches and their opponents have conceded 17 goals in their last five league outings.

That immediately lifts the appeal of going all-in on the Reds’ front three of Mohamed Salah (£13.4m), Luis Diaz (£7.6m) and Darwin Nunez (£7.6m), who have all been named in the starting XI.

Salah has averaged 9.2 points per start at Anfield this season and has blanked in just one of those 11 appearances. Diaz, meanwhile, has four goals, an assist and just one blank in his last five home matches.

Elsewhere, Conor Bradley (£4.3m) and Caoimhin Kelleher (£3.9m) can offer huge value for those investing in the Liverpool backline.

20:15 kick-off
Chelsea v Man Utd

Chelsea’s Cole Palmer (£5.9m) delivered his eighth double-figure haul of the campaign at home to Burnley last weekend and is the form player from the final match of Gameweek 31.

The Blues’ Mykhailo Mudryk (£6.3m) has attacking returns in back-to-back matches, while Manchester United pair Bruno Fernandes (£8.2m) and Marcus Rashford (£8.4m) provide further options.
