There isn’t a lot of action at the top end of the Premier League table this weekend as 3 of the top 4 are in FA Cup action, however, we have managed to pick out 5 midfielders who are in with a chance of earning your fantasy football side some valuable points. Philippe Coutinho and James Milner of Liverpool, Ross Barkley and Seamus Coleman of Everton along with Henrikh Mkhitaryan of Manchester United all feature.
Philippe Coutinho – Liverpool
Liverpool host Crystal Palace this weekend and although Palace’s form has improved drastically in the recent weeks, they face a tough match here as Liverpool bid to consolidate 3rd place. Liverpool are undefeated in their last 6 home matches and Philippe Coutinho has scored in his last 2 matches at Anfield. He can be in your fantasy football team for 9M and with 56 points earned from just 23 starts, he is one player who should be under consideration.
James Milner – Liverpool
Ultra-consistent James Milner has scored 7 goals, assisted 3 and kept 8 clean sheets playing for Liverpool this season. As Liverpool look to wrap up a top 4 place and Champions League qualification, he is one player who is crucial to their cause. He is valued at 8M and his price/performance ratio is 5.9.
Ross Barkley – Everton
Everton can overtake Arsenal in 6th place with a win this weekend over a West Ham United side who have struggled this season. Ross Barkley, who has already scored against West Ham this season, has chipped in with 4 goals, 8 assists and 11 clean sheets and he can be among the points this weekend. He is valued at 7M and has racked up a total of 49 points this season, giving him a price/performance ratio of 6.9.
Seamus Coleman – Everton
Sticking with Everton, they could really pile the pressure on West Ham United this weekend and with Seamus Coleman in midfield, they have every chance of a win. The midfielder has 4 goals, 3 assists and 10 clean sheets in his 26 starts for Everton this season and valued at just 3M, he could be a cut-price alternative in your fantasy football team this weekend. He has accumulated a total of 39 points and has a price/performance ratio of 13.7.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan – Manchester United
Henrikh Mkhitaryan will line up for Manchester United away to Burnley this weekend and the midfielder who has started just 12 matches this season has returned with 4 goals, 1 assist and 9 clean sheets. The chances of Manchester United winning this match without conceding are very high and valued at 8.5M, if he starts, he should add to his current price/performance ratio of 4.4.
