The Ones To Buy This Week - Fantasy Premier League
Andrew Robertson - D, Liverpool (Price: 5M)
With perhaps one of the easiest schedule for teams at the top of the table, there is a lot of potential for clean sheets for Liverpool's defenders. However, even if Liverpool aren't able to consistently add to their clean sheets total for the rest of the season, the team's attacking prowess allows for chance generation from the team's fullbacks. This means that players like Andrew Robertson have a considerable advantage over their peers because of Liverpool's propensity to find the back of the net. Robertson is coming off of an 11 point performance that saw him notch an assist and brought his assist total to three on the season. While that isn't the highest number, Liverpool have a very easy schedule going into the last few weeks of the season and there should be plenty of opportunities for the former Hull City man to add to his assist totals while potentially accumulating several clean sheets along the way, making him a good bet to have some future bonus points as well. Get Robertson this week if you can and keep him for the rest of the season - he could be the highest scoring defender over this stretch of games.
Cenk Tosun - F, Everton (Price: 6.8M)
With four goals in his last four games, Cenk Tosun has found himself in fine form after initially struggling for the Merseyside outfit. The Turkish international has proven to be the spark that Everton has needed to close out the season, yet still has an ownership level below 3%. Tosun should be considered a fairly reliable secondary option given how consistently he has been playing recently. Even if there is some regression to the mean, Everton have a fairly straightforward schedule to round out the season and will likely spearhead their attack with Tosun at the front of the line. Consider Tosun in the coming weeks as he could come close to double digits to round out the season with the way he has been playing.
Keep Your Eye On Him
Junior Stanislas - M, Bournemouth (6M)
With four goals in his last six games, Junior Stanislas has become one of Bournemouth's main attacking outlets alongside striker Callum Wilson. Stanislas has five goals and three assists on the season and has made himself a permanent starter for Bournemouth in what has been a relatively successful campaign for the team. Although Stanislas won't be able to continue this fine run of form forever, it looks as though the midfielder will be able to produce at a reasonably high level to close out the season, making him a bargain for the last few weeks of the year if he is able to maintain his current form.

Richarlison - M, Watford (6M)
If you are one of the 8% of players who still have Richarlison in your lineups, you need to consider moving on. The young Brazilian winger has had more than three points since Gameweek 21 and hasn't scored a goal since Gameweek 12. Richarlison has suffered through periods of being jaded and feeling under pressure after his terrific start to the season and it has certainly affected his performances up to this point in the season. While he is most likely one of the last options on your teamsheets each week, there are players at his price point who can make an immediate impact on your team's performance each week. Therefore, consider dropping the Watford man for better options to close out the season.
Potential Replacements: Marc Albrighton (5.6M), Luka Milivojevic (4.9M)
RotoBaller Weekly XI
Team (Prices May Be Over 100M):
GK: Lukasz Fabianski (4.7M)
DF: Andrew Robertson (4.9M), Ben Davies (5.9M), Andreas Christensen (5.3M)
MF: Henrikh Mkhitaryan (7.7M), Raheem Sterling (8.6M), Mohamed Salah (10.3M), Eden Hazard (10.5),
FW: Roberto Firmino (9.3M), Jamie Vardy (8.7M), Chris Wood (6.2M)
Analysis:
With a 3-4-3 look this weekend and focusing on strength in the midfield, the performances of Salah and Hazard will be pivotal in deciding if this team performs well overall this week. Salah should be considered a lock for the captaincy and the team has supporting roles for Mkhitaryan and Sterling, who can both blow up in points on the day. With a solid back line and riding the form of Firmino, Vardy, and Wood up top, this team is definitely a contender to score 80+ points this week and has strength across all three layers of the pitch.
That's all for this week - good luck!
