Injury Updates to Note

• Leandro Trossard (Arsenal): Arsenal’s players are returning from injury, with Leandro Trossard likely to make an appearance within the last two games.
• Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton): Due to a knock, Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma’s availability is still in question.

Top Transfer Targets

• Marc Cucurella (Chelsea): Enzo Maresca’s Blues host Manchester United in their last home game of the season. Not only do Chelsea have a good home record this season, but Marc Cucurella (£5.4m) has continuously proven to be crucial in keeping the defence intact, while also still adding to the attack. With Manchester United currently sitting 16th, barely just surviving this Premier League season, the Blues have the upper hand.
• Jordan Pickford (Everton): Jordan Pickford in your fantasy football team’s goal is a safe bet, with Everton facing this season’s worst team, Southampton. A clean sheet is likely.
• Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace): A man in fine form as of now in the Premier League is Eberechi Eze (£7.0m). In his last three games, he has given FPL managers, nine, 10 and 16 points respectively. The midfielder may carry this form into Crystal Palace’s home game against Wolves this weekend.
• Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa): Aston Villa host Tottenham this weekend. With Spurs in 17th and Villa and Ollie Watkins (£9.0m) performing better, Fantasy Football managers will want to invest here.
• Bryan Mbuemo (Brentford): Bryan Mbuemo (£8.3m) is in good form. He is likely to keep up his strong performances against Fulham and Wolves. Keep him around.
