Premier League Fantasy Football: Who's Hot and Who's Not in Gameweek 21
After a break for the FA Cup the Premier League returns, and there are a few intriguing matches to look out for.
League leaders Chelsea travel to champions Leic"?ester, Everton host Manchester City and Manchester United take on Liverpool.
While those big games are not to be missed, what players should be considering drafting in or shirking in your fantasy football team? Here are a few pointers.
Goalkeepers
Who's Hot
Artur Boruc - The Pole has been steadily picking up points all season, and a trip to Hull City could yield a potential clean sheet for the 36-year-old.
Tom Heaton - Just like Boruc Heaton has a good points return this season, and Burnley have been particularly impressive at home.
Who's Not
Ben Foster - While Baggies boss Tony Pulis is excellent at frustrating the big teams, Saturday's tie against an inform Tottenham Hotspur isn't likely to return a clean sheet for Foster and West Brom.
Kasper Schmeichel - Leicester haven't been as imposing and dominating defensively this season, and Schmeichel has been widely powerless to prevent his side looking suspect at the back.
Defenders
Who's Hot
Charlie Daniels - The adventurous left-back may well fancy his chances of nicking a goal against the Premier League's bottom team, Hull.
Leighton Baines - While a match against Manchester City doesn't look particularly promising, Baines picked up a goal and a clean sheet last time out and has decent fixtures coming up over the next few weeks.
Who's Not
Jose Fonte - Southampton's captain recently handed in a transfer request and is unlikely to play until his future is resolved.
Jose Holebas - Watford have leaked six goals in their last two Premier League outings, and have also looked toothless going forward, essentially making Holebas completely redundant.
Midfielders
Who's Hot
Dele Alli - Seven goals in his past four league games shows Alli is certainly inform. He likes a goal against West Brom too, having scored twice in three games against Tony Pulis' side.
Kevin De Bruyne - Fantasy football is all about picking players during their bursts of good form, and De Bruyne is definitely due a good spell. A run of three games without an assist is too long for a player of such immense talent.
Who's Not
Etienne Capoue - Proved a valuable player at the beginning of the season but Capoue's influence has wained as the campaign has gone on, with the Frenchman without a goal in the league since November.
Dimitri Payet - Apparently Payet is fed up at West Ham and doesn't want to play for Slaven Bilic's side. That kind of attitude may not be healthy in your fantasy football team, so get rid pronto.
Forwards
Who's Hot
Olivier Giroud - This campaign may have been of Giroud's most frustrating, but the 30-year-old now has three goals in his last three league games, and will fancy his chances against a wobbly Swansea City defence.
Jermain Defoe - The veteran striker is Sunderland's main hope of Premier League survival, and a result against Stoke City could go a long way in helping the Black Cats to retain their top flight status.
Who's Not
Christian Benteke - The Palace striker hasn't found the back of the net since the 3-3 draw at Hull in December, looking somewhat out of form.
Divock Origi - After a run of four goals in four league games, the Belgian is now without a goal in the same amount of matches, and the return of Philippe Coutinho could limit his first team opportunities.
