Chelsea just need a win from this weekend’s Premier League action to seal the title, but there is still a huge amount to play for at both ends of the table. We take a look at five midfielders who should be scoring fantasy football points this weekend. Eden Hazard from Chelsea, Kevin de Bruyne and Raheem Sterling of Manchester City, Roberto Firmino of Liverpool and Mesut Özil of Arsenal all come under the spotlight.
Eden Hazard – Chelsea
Chelsea stand on the brink of their fifth Premier League title and no one in their side has been more influential than Eden Hazard. They face a trip to West Bromwich Albion on Friday and the midfielder who has scored an incredible 15 goals should make his 34th start of the season. He has assisted 5 and kept 14 clean sheets and he can be in your fantasy football team for 12M. He has accumulated 93 points so far this season and his price/performance ratio is 7.9.
Kevin de Bruyne – Manchester City
Manchester City face an in-form Leicester City side this weekend at home, but with their Champions League place on the line, they should be capable of winning this one. Kevin de Bruyne has bagged 5 goals along with 15 assists and 11 clean sheets this season and is valued at 11.5M. He should be adding to his total points of 66 before this season is finished.
Raheem Sterling – Manchester City
With so much at stake, defeat for Manchester City is unthinkable at this stage of the season. Raheem Sterling has been in good form lately and scored in his last match against Crystal Palace. Sterling is valued at 8.5M and has accumulated 53 points so far this season. With 7 goals, 6 assists and 10 clean sheets, his price/performance ratio of 6.5 should rise before the end of this season.
Roberto Firmino – Liverpool
Liverpool have a tricky away match at West Ham United this weekend but with their top 4 place at stake, they will be going all out for the three points that will all but secure that place. Roberto Firminho has scored 11, assisted 6 and kept 10 clean sheets and is in line to make his 34th start of the season. He is valued at 9.5M and his price/performance ratio is 7.7.
Mesut Özil – Arsenal
Mesut Özil has been Arsenal’s top performing midfielder in the fantasy football charts this season with 7 goals, 7 assists and 11 clean sheets. He will start this weekend in a must-win match against Stoke City and has a great chance of improving his price/performance ratio of 6.2 as Arsenal bid to claim a top 4 finish.
