FORWARDS

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, ARS v. WHU (£27): Aubameyang has been on a tear over his last five games, with five goals and two assists while topping double-digit points in each game over that span. It's possible that Aubameyang is rested, but if he starts at home against West Brom we can capitalize once more on his run of good form.

Gabriel Jesus, MCI v. SWA (£25): Manchester City clinched the Premier League title with a road win over Tottenham last weekend, and facing Swansea in their first game at home since winning the title, you can imagine it's going to be a festive atmosphere. With Sergio Aguero (knee) done for the season, Jesus should continue to see plenty of opportunities to make his mark on the scoresheet, and he'll look to find the net for the third consecutive game Sunday.

Raheem Sterling, MCI v. SWA (£22): Sterling is a fine pivot off Jesus if you need to save a few pounds, or he can be paired with him in a Manchester City stack if we think they come out and put on a show for their fans.

MIDFIELDER

Leroy Sane, MCI v. SWA (£20): Sane has yet to find the net through four games this month, but with Aguero out he's another player who should benefit down the stretch. He has 13 goals and 16 assists across all competitions this season, and should have multiple opportunities to add to those totals at home against Swansea.

Xherdan Shaqiri, STK v. BRN (£15): Stoke City are on the outside looking in with four games left as they try and stave off relegation. They simply can't afford to slip up at home here, so we can expect a big effort across the board. Shaqiri's price has been driven down by the fact that he hasn't scored or produced a goal in nearly two months, but with their backs against the wall I think he's in a great spot to get involved against Burnley.

Yannick Bolasie, EVE v. NEW (£15): With Monday's game included on the slate, Bolasie jumps out as a nice salary saver considering his uptick in shots over the last month. We'll need to work some value in if we want to load up on the heavy artillery from Manchester City or Arsenal, and Bolasie at home against Newcastle fits that bill.

DEFENDERS

Nicolas Otamendi, MCI v. SWA (£16): Otamendi has provided good defensive coverage all season and that's carried over to making him one of the most consistent defenders on Yahoo. He comes with the upside of an occasional goal off a set piece, and while he came off the bench last game, I expect him to be back in the starting lineup as Manchester City celebrate their title.

Vincent Kompany, MCI v. SWA (£15): Kompany has a goal and an assist over his last two starts, and while that kind of attacking production can't be expected on a regular basis, he's logging strong fantasy scores regardless, hitting for at least seven fantasy points in seven of his last eight games. Another favorable spot at home against Swansea City should continue his run.

Idrissa Gueye, EVE v. NEW (£14): Gueye actually lines up as a defensive center mid, but we can deploy him as a defender for fantasy purposes. The added clean sheet possibility boosts his fantasy appeal, but even without a clean sheet he puts in enough work to accumulate five-to-six points per game just through peripherals.

GOALKEEPER

Ederson, MCI v. SWA (£15) or Claudio Bravo, MCI v. SWA (£10): While they've clinched the league title, Manchester City now have their sights set on breaking the all-time records for most points in a season, and manager Pep Guardiola has come out and said that he has no plans of slowing down with five games to play. Ederson has been the man all season, but there's a chance we get Bravo at minimum price as technically he must make four more appearances to be considered part of the title winning team. Whichever goalkeeper gets the nod, they're a fine play at home against Swansea.
