The season is winding down but vital matches are everywhere. Two Chelsea players make it into the FanDuel lineup as matchday 37 concludes.
Today’s entry contains two Chelsea players, two Manchester City players, and two Arsenal players. All three will have matches in which they are expected to attack, which should result in fantasy points. Chelsea need to win to have a chance at top four, Arsenal are playing for Arsene Wenger’s farewell, and Manchester City are playing for records. Huddersfield are also playing for survival, adding a further element to the mix.
Forward: Alexander Lacazette (Arsenal)
The Arsenal forward has five goals in as many matches and is averaging 30.5 Fanduel Fantasy Points a match over those five. He is in great form and really seems to be gelling with fellow forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Leicester have conceded 11 in their last five, which should equal Arsenal goals.
Forward: Gabriel Jesus (Manchester City)
With Sergio Aguero out, Jesus will be up top all by himself leading that high-powered Manchester City attack. He has scored three in the last four. Although Brighton and Hove Albion’s defense has been decent as of late, Manchester City have records to break.
Midfielder: Leroy Sane (Manchester City)
Congrats to Sane for his outstanding season, but he is only averaging a little over 10.5 FFP in his last four matches. Because of that, there is slight risk here, but a bit of luck and he will break out this week. He is $2000 cheaper than Sterling and will likely score similar points.
Midfielder: Tiemoue Bakayoko (Chelsea)
The Frenchman had a very promising match versus Liverpool, helping ease some concerned Chelsea fans. Near or in the box on most of Chelsea’s chances, he tallied 22 FFP and that is with a chance stolen off his boot by Olivier Giroud.
Midfielder: Alex Iwobi (Arsenal)
Expecting Arsenal to continue to score and a highly motivated Iwobi to be among the goals. With a little over 40 points versus Burnley he will look to continue that play the last two matches leading into the summer. 25 FFP’s is a safe expectation.

Defender: Antonio Rudiger (Chelsea)
Rudiger was the best fantasy option among the Chelsea defenders last match, having equalled his highest points total since December of last year. Rudiger will not have Mohamed Salah to follow all match, which will free him up more, allowing him to get forward on set pieces and corners.
Defender: Mathias Jorgensen (Huddersfield Town)
“Zanka” has 221 clearances, and with Chelsea in need of three points, they will be looking to attack. Hopefully Chelsea lets it on and forces Zanka into dealing with a lot crosses and attack. Look for double digit clearances and five interceptions.
Goalkeeper: Martin Dubravka (Newcastle United)
Dubravka had six saves plus a penalty save – which is added points – finishing with 25. The best reason to take him is he is playing against Tottenham Hotspur. This is the time of year the Spurs get all… Spursy. So expect Martin here to get 15 saves, five penalty saves, and a clean sheet.
