We take a look at the top players from the Premier League who have rallied to earn valuable points from their last five league fixtures.
As you know, points can change league positions and the tables can turn quite easily, especially if a couple of players are in a rich vein of form.
Check out the players below to see how they have performed in their last five:
Rashford now has five goals in his last six Premier League fixtures, tallying up a total of 61 Fantasy Football points in that time, averaging just over 10 per match. In this period, he has earned three man-of-the-match performances and has linked up superbly with Paul Pogba to come up with the goods for Manchester United, playing a huge part in their current 10-match unbeaten run in all competitions.
The Argentine played the role of City's 'big game' player as he came up trumps yet again, hitting a hat-trick in their 3-1 victory over Arsenal, albeit from a short combined distance. Aguero now has 14 goals for the season and is hot on the tails of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Mohamed Salah in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot. A second Sky Sports Man of the Match award came the way of Aguero as a result of his outstanding performance.
Jota's most notable recent performance came against Leicester, where his hat-trick and 90th-minute winner ensured his side won the match 4-3. He recorded 26 points from this outing, accounting for 60.5 per cent of his Fantasy Football points in his last four. He has the highest average in this time too, averaging 10.75 points per match from his last four Premier League fixtures, surpassing Rashford's 10.2 average in that period.
De Gea is still being remembered by Manchester United fans for his stunning saves and performance against Tottenham, in which he accrued an impressive 11 saves, while keeping a clean sheet and earning a Sky Sports Man of the Match award too. The tier two saves bonus he received from this match allowed the Spaniard to hit double figures for points in one match for the first time (since doing so against Leicester in his last outing), attaining his largest points haul thus far with 17.
James Ward-Prowse fills the final place, due to his superior value to David Luiz, who also has 37 Fantasy Football points but stands at £8.8m as opposed to Ward-Prowse's £8.3m. Scoring in three consecutive games, the Southampton midfielder complemented his side's form as they are now five unbeaten. He received tier one tackling bonus points in two of these five fixtures too, highlighting his fine form in a variety of fields.
