FORWARDS

Sergio Aguero, MCI v. NEW (£27): Aguero erupted for 37.40 fantasy points in his last home game and could have his way again at home against Newcastle. He has the best goal scoring odds of any player on the slate, and it would be a bold move to fade him.

Mohamed Salah, LIV at LEI (£27): Salah has a goal or assist in all three games to start the season, averaging over 15 fantasy points per game. Even on the road, he remains an elite option at Leicester in the early game Saturday.

Cenk Tosun, EVE v. HUD (£19): Tosun has yet to score through the first three games of the season, but he does have two assists and he's knocking at the door with six shots. With Richarlison suspended, look for Tosun to shoulder the scoring load and open his 2018/19 account versus Huddersfield.

MIDFIELDERS

Eden Hazard, CHE v. BOU (£24): Despite playing limited minutes in the first two games, Hazard has made his mark on the scoresheet in three straight. He scored a goal against Newcastle last Sunday and will have ample opportunities to keep the production up versus Bournemouth.

Theo Walcott, EVE v. HUD (£19): Walcott has a goal in consecutive games and will be looked to for continued production with Richarlison out. Expect Walcott to see opportunities fall his way in a good home matchups against the Terriers.

Gylfi Sigurdsson, EVE v. HUD (£17): Sigurdsson earned his first assist of the season in last Saturday's 2-2 draw with Bournemouth, and he's in a good spot to follow that up with a strong showing at home against Huddersfield. As with Walcott, Everton will look to Sigurdsson to step up in the attack with Richarlison out.

DEFENDERS

Benjamin Mendy, MCI v. NEW (£17): Mendy failed to register a shot for the first time in three games last weekend, but he still managed 7.30 fantasy points in the 1-1 draw with Wolves. He checks all the boxes at home against Newcastle, as he gets involved going forward and also has a good shot at a clean sheet.

Marcos Alonso, CHE v. BOU (£17): Alonso had a goal and an assist in his last home outing, topping 20 points and serving up a reminder of the upside he carries. There was some concern heading into the season about Alonso not getting as many opportunities in the attack due to a formation shift, but he has shown early on that he's still very much a threat.

Patrick van Aanholt, CRY v. SOU (£15): van Aanholt has a combined 5.45 points over his last two appearances, but he showed what he's capable of with an assist and nine points in the season opener. His goal-scoring potential makes him a boom-or-bust play, with the ability to make a big impact on the leaderboards if he manages to get on the scoresheet.

GOALKEEPERS

Ederson, MCI v. NEW (£16):Ederson and Manchester City were held to a shock draw at Wolves in their last game, but are in a good bounce back spot on Saturday. City should have their way against a Newcastle side that have yet to win a game through their first three games and were held scoreless at Cardiff in their only road game of the season thus far.
