3. Dwight McNeil- Burnley, £4.4
You probably haven't even heard of McNeil, but the Burnley youngster has made an impact for Sean Dyche's team in their past two fixtures, starting both and picking up a goal and an assist. He carries the added bonus of being extremely cheap and featuring in only 0.3% of teams. The Clarets take on Fulham this weekend, and should be able to get a result given the Cottagers' woes this season.
4. David Luiz - Chelsea, £5.9
Three of Chelsea's highest point scorers in fantasy football this season are defenders: Marcos Alonso, Antonio Rüdiger and David Luiz. Their top scorer is obviously Eden Hazard. I'm not sure whether that says more about the lack of quality in Chelsea's front line or the sublime quality of their defenders, but regardless, Luiz is undoubtedly having a good season. The Brazilian has racked up 97 points this season and only costs £5.9, a smidgeon cheaper than his defensive partner. Against Newcastle, at home, he should have no trouble keeping a clean sheet.
5. Paul Pogba - Manchester United, £8.4m
Yes, I'm including Paul Pogba again, because he's really good. Manchester United have spent all week preparing for their game against Tottenham at a warm weather training camp in Dubai and appear to be having the time of their lives. Spurs, meanwhile, continue to overcome obstacles and remain within the top three, for which Pochettino deserves a lot of credit, but they might struggle on Sunday. This new look Manchester United are perfectly poised to exploit Spurs' ultra attacking midfield diamond. Harry Winks will be holding the midfield on his own, and for all his qualities, he faces a tough challenge in keeping Pogba quiet.Explore more on these topics:
