Deliberating over who you should be picking in your fantasy football team this weekend? The Independent have teamed up with fantasy football game www.oulala.com and using its extensive database of statistics, that uses 70 different criteria, we've highlighted a number of players that should feature on your fantasy football radar this week.

Check out the tips below...

Goalkeeper

Manchester City keeper Joe Hart has seven clean sheets this season and leads the golden glove race, despite playing a game fewer than his nearest challengers Petr Cech and Boaz Myhill. The 28-year-old has conceded the fewest goals of any Premier League goalkeeper on a per minute basis, at a rate of a goal conceded every 198 minutes. City host Liverpool this weekend who currently have the poorest shot conversion rate of any team with 7.1 per cent.

Defender

Scott Dann of Crystal Palace was a surprise omission from Roy Hodgson's recent England squad considering the defender's performance levels this season. The 28-year-old has won eight tackles and 29 aerial duels. Dann has also registered 16 interceptions, 17 blocks and 70 clearances. The centre-back has shown a threat at the opposite end of the pitch scoring two goals and providing one assist. A home game against a struggling Sunderland on Monday should see Dann shine once more.

Midfielder

Tottenham's Christian Eriksen has continued where he left off last season with much of Spurs' attacking play coming through the Dane. Eriksen has scored two goals from 22 shots this term. The 23-year-old is also averaging 33 successful passes per game at an accuracy rate of 79 per cent. Eriksen's three assists have been the direct result of a total of 24 key passes. He has provided teammates with a goal scoring opportunity at an average of every 27 minutes. With Spurs welcoming old foes West Ham to White Hart Lane on Sunday the Dane will be the focal point to Tottenham's attack.

Striker

Romelu Lukaku has scored a total of seven goals this season, five of which have come in his last six games. The Belgian is currently one of the most in-form strikers in the Premier League. Lukaku has enjoyed a shot conversion-rate of 26 per cent after scoring five goals from 19 shots in his last six matches. His shot accuracy is currently sat at an impressive 69 per cent. The 22-year-old has also completed 80 per cent of his passes and has registered three assists from his last six games. A home fixture against bottom of the table Aston Villa this weekend should see Lukaku's name on the score sheet once again.
