Jimenez was the fourth highest selected captain from game week 27 but could only pick up two points against Newcastle. The Wolves forward has now been directly involved in 16 goals, creating seven and hitting nine himself, as well as earning three Sky Sports Man of the Match awards throughout the season. As well as this, Nuno Espirito Santo's side play Bournemouth, Huddersfield and Cardiff in their next three, which is why Fantasy Football managers may have drafted in his services for the Newcastle match and in order to keep him in their team during the Overhaul.

Paul Pogba - £10.6m

Many people may be surprised by the inclusion of Anderson at number five. Although he only has one goal in seven, the West Ham playmaker showcased what he can do as he grabbed an assist and an MOTM award in their fine display against Liverpool recently. he is the highest scoring player in Fantasy Football outside of the 'big six', which can be highlighted through his eight goals, four assists and four MOTM awards thus far.
