There are just 13 games to go until the end of the season and whilst PSG are cruising to another league title, Champions League and Europa League places are indeed up for grabs. Relegation will be contested too. We take a look below to see which players could well perform the best at the weekend.

Formation: 4-4-2

Goalkeeper: Edouard Mendy- Rennes

Rennes have conceded 7 goals in their last 10 games and that is the 2nd best record in Ligue 1. Mendy has been at the heart of this and Rennes will try and bounce back to winning ways and will be the favourites at home to Nimes at the weekend.

Defender: Damien Da Silva- Rennes

Da Silva has been strong at the back for Rennes and we are backing them to do well at home to Nimes. Da Silva has already been able to keep 8 clean sheets this season and is valued at just 5m which looks like a bargain.

Defender: Hamari Traore-Rennes

Another Rennes player but Traore has really built up a good chemistry with Da Silva and the two of them have been the difference in keeping 8 clean sheets this season for their club.

Defender: Alvaro- Marseille

Marseille did concede in their last game v Lille in a 2-1 win but Alvaro has been an important player and the club have a great defensive record of late. They are also returning back home to face Nantes and Alvaro has not only kept 8 clean sheets he can be brought in to your team for just 4.5m.

Defender: Jose Fonte- Lille

Everyone knows the quality of Lille, who rarely lose at home, and even though they did last weekend it was to 2nd placed Marseille. But they will be at home again this time to bottom club Toulouse and will be the big odds on favourites to win. Fonte has kept 8 clean sheets and has 22 points so far, he is valued at 7.5m and looks to be a great addition at least for this weekend.

Midfielder: Tiemoue Bakayoko- Monaco

Bakayoko has been brilliant in midfield as Monaco have found form and won their last 3 games and they play Dijon away where he could put in another good game. He has helped keep 5 clean sheets.

Midfielder: Steven N’Zonzi-Rennes

Steven N’Zonzi is coming back from injury so has next to no points, but he will have a point to prove to keep his midfielder’s position as Rennes return back home to play Nimes.

Midfielder: Dmitri Lienard- Strasbourg

Lienard has been good at scoring and creating goals for his position and has also helped keep 6 clean sheets. He can be a dangerous and gifted player and his club will be at home to Amiens where they will start as the favourites to win, could be a shrewd call to bring the player in.

Midfielder: Bouna Sarr- Marseille

Bouna Sarr has been impressive lately and Marseille will be at home to Nantes. Sarr can play in a more attacking midfield role, so there is hope that he will have plenty of opportunities.

Striker: Victor Osimhen- Lille

We have picked Osimhen on a few occasions and the reason is that the player is in great form for Lille. But at the weekend he will face off against Toulouse the poorest team in Ligue 1 so far. He will have great chances to add to his goals.

Striker: Ludovic Ajorque- Strasbourg

Strasbourg have got some form and will be expected to beat and score a few against Amiens at the weekend. Ajorque already has 8 goals and has assisted in a further four and would cost just 4m.

Fantasy Ligue 1 Picks for Week 24

Ligue 1 has busy recently with midweek games meaning that the clubs would have played 3 games in one week. Will fatigue set in? It certainly looks that way for Marseille, who are trying to keep 2nd place. PSG will be champions again but there is plenty of excitement just below them with Champions League and Europa League spots up for grabs. Let’s take a look at the players who could make a difference this weekend.

Formation: 4-4-2

Goalkeeper: Alexandre Oukidja- Metz

Alexandre Oukidja has come out as an unlikely hero for Metz who on form would be 4th in the table. He has only conceded 4 goals in the past month and for a club in the bottom half like Metz that is decent. He has 6 clean sheets so far this season, and this is the best bit, he would cost just 1.5m to bring in.

Defender: Duje Caleta-Car – Marseille

We will look at a few Marseille players to make up our team this weekend as the team in 2nd will play bottom club Toulouse and they are at home. Marseille have conceded just 1 goal in their past five games and are now playing the weakest team.

Defender: Alvaro-Marseille

Alvaro has built up a nice partnership at the back and has been involved in helping to keep 7 clean sheets. It was another keep sweep in Marseille’s last game as they beat Saint Etienne 2-0. Alvaro would cost just 4.5m.

Defender: Hiroki Sakai- Marseille

Sure there is a risk attached because Sakai was on the subs bench for the last game, but he is a great defender and proven himself this season. We are going for so many Marseille players because they are playing Toulouse a side who have scored just 10 goals away from home all season, and Marseille have lost just once at home this season and only conceded 9.

Defender: Malang Sarr- Nice

If anything Nice have kept it tight at the back lately, conceding 4 goals in the past month and are also in good form. Sarr has been important in his role and has been able to keep 3 clean sheets. Nice play Nimes at home and Sarr would cost 5.5m.

Midfielder: Gael Kakuta- Amiens

Gael Kakuta statistically has been Amiens best midfielder and has 15 points so far. He has helped the team keep 4 clean sheets including their last two games and he has scored a goal too, making him an all round player who could be a shrewd investment this weekend. He is valued at 7m and Amiens will be at home to Monaco.

Midfielder: Romain Amalfitano- Dijon

Romain Amalfitano has been a rock in midfield and is a big reason for Dijon’s good form recently. He has been involved in 6 clean sheets and scored and assisted this season. Dijon will be at home to Nantes.

Midfielder: Valentin Rongier- Marseille

Rongier has got 21 points so far this season and been an integral member of the squad. He hasn’t scored any goals as yet but has been involved in 3 assists and has helped in 9 clean sheets. They play Toulouse the bottom club this weekend.

Midfielder: Renato Sanches- Lille

Lille have found some good form and even though they have been poor away this season their form has picked up as they try to finish strongly. Sanches has been in decent form and would cost 7m and Lille will play on Friday night away to Angers who have been struggling lately.

Striker: M’baye Niang- Rennes

Rennes need to win their game and they will be at home where they have been strong and play Brest who have not travelled well this season. Niang may find lots of space and he has 7 goals this season.

Striker: Dimitri Payet- Marseille

One would think that Marseille will be full of goals when they play bottom side Toulouse at the weekend. Payet scored in the clubs last game against Saint Etienne and perhaps has found form? He has scored 7 goals and assisted in a further three and he should be a handful. He would cost a reasonable 7.5m.
