Josh King
Position: Midfielder
Price: £6.9m
Ownership: 0.49% of teams
Club: Bournemouth
Opponent: West Ham
King has taken command of the Bournemouth attack since striker Callum Wilson succumbed to yet another season-ending injury. The 25-year-old has plenty of natural finishing ability which, paired with the fact that he takes penalties for Bournemouth, means he is a goal threat every time he laces up his boots. With four goals in his last five matches King is not just one of the best differential options, but one of the best options this week full stop.

Position: Defender
Price: £6.5m
Ownership: 9.52% of teams
Club: Everton
Opponent: West Brom
Coleman had a rough week last week against high-flying Tottenham but he remains a top five defender in total points in this format. He has three assists and two clean sheets in the last five matches which certainly implies he is still a player very much in form. This week the Ireland international faces a West Brom team who have only had one attacking player score in the past five matches, and are bottom five in attack on the whole over that period.

Position: Midfield
Price: £7.9m
Ownership: 8.65% of teams
Club: Swansea
Opponent: Hull
The Icelandic midfielder has contributed towards more goals than everyone bar one Harry Kane over the past five matches. He is a constant threat from dead ball situations, which makes him viable against even the toughest of opponents, just ask Chelsea. Hull and their bottom five defence certainly do not fit that “toughest of opponents bill” though. Not only is Sigurdsson a must start this week, but he is also a terrific captain option for MW28.
GOALSadio Mane
Position: Midfielder
Price: £8.2m
Ownership: 25.8% of teams
Club: Liverpool
Opponent: Burnley
Mane has been terrific since returning from his brief stint at the Africa Cup of Nations. He has four goals and an assist in his recent starts and will be looking to punish a Burnley defence who struggle mightily when pried away from the friendly confines of Turf Moor. Mane also loves playing at home, which he does this week, where two-thirds of his goals have come. His ownership is pretty high so there’s no differential upside here but, with so few players on offer, the Liverpool "midfielder" will definitely help your team this week.
