The 2017/18 legend that is, Salah, needs no introduction. So, we move straight into the numbers, after all, we do not wish to insult your intelligence here. Liverpool have failed to score in their last two league games but with the Champions League final more than two weeks away we expect them to field a strong team in gameweek 38 in an attempt to build some momentum. Over the last four home league matches Liverpool have matched Man. City’s 10 goals scored and only Crystal Palace, with 11, and Arsenal, with 15, have scored more goals over that period.

Jesus, marginally gets the nod over a miss-firing Kane this week, given that Man. City look worryingly good every time they play, so, 120+ minutes for Jesus over the two games could well be more than sufficient for the top points' score in double gameweek 37. Jesus, has been directly involved in seven goals over the last six game, scoring four times and providing three assists; while only Sterling, with 10, and Salah, with eight, have provided more Fantasy Premier League (FPL) involvements.

Kane, has been the subject of much discussion in the last couple of weeks following his goal claim. Many are wondering if he has not been at the races due to that distraction, or as a result of rushing back from injury. While he may not have been at his best recently the Spurs forward still has two goals to his name over the last four gameweeks. No player has fired off more than Kane’s 112 shots from inside the box over the course of this season, or taken more than his 70 efforts on target. So, a points’ explosion could be just around the corner.

Aubameyang or Jesus look to be the go to options in the premium bracket up top this week. However, Arsenal’s forward gets the nod as our headliner given that he is more assured of a full 90 minutes over the City forward, and has some impressive underlying numbers himself. Aubameyang has provided six goals and two assists across eight appearances for Arsenal so far, with seven of his eight Fantasy Premier League (FPL) involvements coming during his last five matches.

Kane, has been all over the headlines this week and not for his wondrous ability to score, but more so his written ability which was deemed strong enough when lodging an appeal for a “did he? Didn’t he?” type goal. The dubious goals panel deemed he did, but it is the intent shown in appealing which feels us with confidence for the double gameweek. The hunger and desire to be credited for goals makes his headline appearance a no-brainer for us this week. Kane now moves onto 25 Premier League goals which is just four behind Liverpool’s, Salah, as we enter the final stages of the season.

The Denmark international found his eighth league goal of the campaign against Chelsea last weekend and has now provided a total of 17 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) involvements this season.

Aubameyang, has started his Arsenal career solidly. Though this comes as no great shock given his performances for Borussia Dortmund over the last few seasons, which has seen the likes of a Champions League brace against eventual champions Real Madrid in 2016/17 So far Aubameyang has contributed four Fantasy Premier League (FPL) involvements in five games, scoring three times in meetings with Everton, Brighton and Watford. His seven efforts on target across the five gameweeks he has played to date is level with Agüero and Murray and only Kane, with 10, has managed more amongst forwards.

Salah (10.6), will be looking to steal a march on Kane (12.8) in his pledge for the golden boot during gameweek 31 and having scored in 15 of his last 22 premier league matches who would bet against him adding to his total of 24 goals. The Egyptian maestro was kept at bay by Man. United in gameweek 30 but has provided Fantasy Premier League (FPL) returns across the last six gameweeks prior to that. Over that period the stats read; six goals and two assists and no other player in the league has scored more goals or provided more FPL involvements in that time.

Kane (12.9), has had another formidable season and currently shares the golden boot’s top spot with Salah (10.6). After facing elimination from the Champions League at the hands of Juventus on Wednesday, Kane, will be keen to kick on in the league and a goal or two will certainly make him and his Spurs’ teammates feel a little less gloomy. The Spurs forward found his 26th Fantasy Premier League (FPL) involvement of the season in gameweek 29 with an incredible assist for Son’s (8.0) second goal versus Huddersfield.
READ MOREBonus points were first introduced when FPL launched way back in 2002. The original intention was to award a player up to 3 additional points for "being judged to have made an excellent performance in a game". These were allocated by members of the press association attending the game. Since then, they have been refined several times and are now based on around 30 statistics, resulting in an overall Bonus Points System (BPS) score per player. The players with the highest BPS receive up to 3 additional bonus points.
