Leroy Sané

After their exploits at the London Stadium last weekend, Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sané have attracted a lot of attention.

And though while Sterling is the overall leading points scorer and most transferred-in player in this week’s market, Sané perhaps carries less rotation risk.

Benjamin Mendy’s injury means Manchester City lack natural width and Pep Guardiola has tended to play Sané consistently while missing his first-choice left-back.

Anthony Martial

Anthony Martial and his Manchester United team-mates had an afternoon to forget last time out, drawing a blank against Crystal Palace.

It was the first time in six gameweeks that Martial had failed to return goal or assist points, but Saturday’s trip to St Mary’s offers him a chance to kick-start another streak.

Southampton are still without a win since the start of September and are yet to taste victory at home this season.

Salomon Rondon

Up front, a new budget striker may be emerging. Newcastle’s upturn in form makes their leading man Salmon Rondon an option.

Rondon bagged a brace in his last home outing - against Bournemouth before the international break - and is priced at just £5.7m.

Newcastle’s visitors this weekend - West Ham United - give up chances away from home and Rondon could quite easily reward his 1.4 per cent ownership.

Felipe Anderson

Staying at St James’ Park, West Ham’s run of fixtures over the coming weeks is too good to ignore.

Marko Arnautovic, who has recovered from a hip problem, will crop up in many a squad but Felipe Anderson is also worth our consideration.

In just 6.3 per cent of squads, Anderson has three goals in his last three outings.

Christopher Schindler

Huddersfield Town provided one of the surprise results of last weekend by beating Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.

Fresh from their first away win of the campaign, David Wagner’s side welcome Brighton to the John Smith’s Stadium on Saturday, who have issues creating chances on the road.

Huddersfield, meanwhile, have two clean sheets in their last three, which makes defender and set-piece threat Christopher Schindler an enticing option.

Honourable mentions: Wayne Hennessey, Matt Doherty, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raheem Sterling, Raul Jimenez.
