    It’s the biggest week of the fantasy football season folks and time for you to capitalise on the opportunity. Chelsea, Liverpool, Leicester and Hull City players are what you need in your ranks for gameweek 34. 

    All of these teams are still fighting for something in the Premier League which is a boost when contemplating your selections. Two more wins will confirm the title for Chelsea, Liverpool are fighting for a top four spot, Leicester and Hull City are scrapping for their Premier League status. 

    Sport360 will give you a guide on which three players are the best to select from each of these four clubs. 

    Best three from Chelsea:

    1. MF – Eden Hazard (11.3m) – Selected by 44.9%

    What more can be said? The midfielder has been the best player in fantasy football this season, scoring 211 points in total. He truly is a ‘must have’ for the double gameweek and is the safest captain choice. 

    #360stats: The Belgian winger has averaged 9.75 points per game in last four weeks.

    2. MF – Cesc Fabregas (9.4m) Selected by 32%

    Cesc Fabregas is the orchestrator behind thew majority of Chelsea’s attacks and even got on the scoresheet against QPR two weeks ago. He has assisted 17 goals already this season so it will be surprising if he doesn’t contribute another one or two this weekend. 

    3. DF – John Terry (6.9m) – Selected by 20.9%

    Terry has been a rock all season and although they probably won’t keep a clean sheet against Arsenal, they should do against Leicester. It’s been 12 weeks since Terry last scored so that could come in this double header.

    Best three from Liverpool:

    1. MF – Jordan Henderson (6.7m) – Selected by 21.8%

    Henderson has netted four in his last seven matches as well as assisting three which makes him the man in form. He will be high on confidence after signing a new long term contract on £100,000-a-week. For 6.7m, the former Sunderland midfielder is fantastic value for money considering he is on set piece duty.

    2. MF – Raheem Sterling (8.5m) – Selected by 32.3%

    It is confirmed that Daniel Sturridge will miss out again this weekend so it is likely that you will see Sterling playing as a striker again for the Reds. Although Coutinho is in audacious form, Sterling scores points far more consistently than the Brazilian. It could be a huge week for the 20-year-old against West Brom and Hull.

    3. GK – Simon Mignolet (5.3m) – Selected by 8.2%

    Mignolet should be able to add to his 13 clean sheets this week. The keeper is a cheaper option than Martin Skrtel and is the same price as Alberto Moreno, so is worth a punt in goal. 

    Best three from Leicester:

    1. FWD – Jamie Vardy (4.6m) – Selected by 3.3%

    This could be a contentious choice but Vardy is a bargain at 4.6m and is backed by Nigel Pearson. The Foxes have an abundance of strikers but Vardy has played the full 90 minutes in the last five games, scoring two and setting two up. If Leicester are going to beat the drop, they need his form to continue.

    2. MF – Esteban Cambiasso (4.8m) – Selected by 1.8%

    It still seems quite a shock that the former Inter Milan midfielder is playing in the Premier League. No disrespect to Leicester City but you would have never expected him to move there. However, he has been one of their most influential players recently and has scored one and assisted two in his last three matches.

    3. DF – Jeffrey Schlupp (4.5m) – Selected by 1.7%

    If you read this weekly article you will know Sport360 are a huge fan of Schlupp. The ‘defender’ is often used on the wing and is extremely attacking so expect him to get on the scoresheet at least once more before the end of the season.

    Best three from Hull City:

    1. FWD – Dame N’Doye (5.5m) – Selected by 0.3%

    The Senegalese international arrived at the KC Stadium in January and set the place alight. However he hasn’t scored in his last four outings. Hull will be relying on him to provide their firepower if they are going to avoid the drop.

    2. DF – James Chester (4.3m) – Selected by 2.3%

    The former Manchester United youngster has returned from injury and his experience could be crucial in the run in. With Alex Bruce making a costly mistake against Southampton, it is likely that Chester will be started this weekend ahead of Bruce’s son to teach him a lesson.

    3. MF – Mohamed Diame (5.1m) – Selected by 0.8%

    Diame was Hull’s best player in the first half of the season. He was Yorkshire’s version of Yaya Toure but an injury kept him out for 16 weeks. Now he has returned, there is a good chance Steve Bruce will hand him a start because one of the major issues this season has been their lack of goals. Hull needs to throw everything at the table and Diame is one man that can be a real game-changer for the Tigers.
