Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9.9m – Newcastle (a)
Is Fernandes a must-pick for the rest of the season? He’s got four double-digit returns in seven games.
His 59 points since returning from injury in week 21 is the most of any player.
Antoine Semenyo (c), Manchester City, £8.2m – Nottingham Forest (h)
In the same bracket as Fernandes is Semenyo. Keeps starting, keeps scoring.
Every Manchester City player carries a slight question mark as they enter a period that also involves Newcastle away in the FA Cup, two legs against Real Madrid and the Carabao Cup final against Arsenal.
But it’s also impossible to second-guess Pep Roulette so start Semenyo with confidence – Fernandes is my vice-captain if he doesn’t play.
Harry Wilson, Fulham, £6m – West Ham (h)
Wilson’s now the fourth-highest-scoring midfielder and at just £6m still.
He takes on West Ham this week, who just conceded five goals at Liverpool, and you’ll want to eye up Burnley at home in gameweek 31 too.
Wilson is another player whose injury status you need to watch this week.
Marcus Tavernier, Bournemouth, £5.3m – Brentford (h)
Another player returning from gameweek 28’s team and, at this price, how can you resist?
A team-high four shots last week and a big chance created, Tavernier ended up with bonus points and an assist.
He has a lot of routes to points for a £5.3m midfielder and faces a Brentford side that conceded three – and should possibly have been more – at Burnley.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Everton, £5m – Burnley (h)
KDH is the forgotten budget gem after his long injury, but he’s got three returns in four games and is always a good shout for defensive contribution points.
This home match against Burnley is too good to pass up.
