When deciding which players to invest in, it is important to look at how they rank in the key stats, as well as the fixtures. Here, Alex Dakers identifies some of the best Fantasy Challenge picks for the remaining fixtures of Gameweek 17.

Sunday

16:30 GMT - Fantasy Challenge deadline
Spurs
v Liverpool

James Maddison (£7.6m) and Son Heung-min (£9.8m) ran riot against Southampton last weekend, but will likely face a sterner test against Liverpool and their league-leading defence. Fraser Forster (£4.3m) should have plenty of opportunities to add to his saves tally, and Pedro Porro (£5.6m), who provides some attacking threat, was handed a rest - albeit a brief one - at the start of last weekend’s match.

Yet Mohamed Salah (£13.4m) could view Spurs’s injury-riddled backline as a chance to get back on the scoresheet after failing to net for the first time since Gameweek 7.

Diogo Jota (£7.2m) marked his return from injury with a goal that rescued a point for the Reds against Fulham, and - with Cody Gakpo (£7.1m) also finding the net - Arne Slot may have a selection dilemma on his hands as Luis Diaz (£7.4m), Darwin Nunez (£7.1m) - who scored during the week - and the fit-again Federico Chiesa (£6.8m) all push for starting spots. 

Be sure to check the teamsheets for this one, then.

Just as Porro carries FPL points potential at both ends, so too does Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.0m). The unlimited budget in this week’s Fantasy Challenge may also make it easier than usual for managers to fit the Liverpool right-back in their squads.
