We keep faith in a 4-3-3 formation this weekend after 10 teams delivered clean sheets last time out. Southampton, Chelsea and Liverpool all provide us with a pair of players apiece, while Sunday’s match at Old Trafford supplies us with a couple of in-form contenders before we brace ourselves for yet another international interruption:

Artur Boruc gets the nod as Southampton prepare for the visit of Hull City. Mauricio Pochettino’s side have chalked up a clean sheet in each of their last four at St Mary’s and with the visitors drawing blanks in three of their five road trips, defensive returns look on the menu once again for the Pole, who is joint-top scoring keeper in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game.

A home game with Newcastle brings Jan Vertonghen into consideration. The Belgian has racked up 27 points in the last three Gameweeks since moving to left-back and with seven clean sheets in the opening 10 league fixtures, Andre Villas-Boas’ backline has been particularly resilient. The Tottenham manager’s tinkering further up the pitch enhances Vertonghen’s potential – he may have produced just one assist so far but is 22 points ahead of any midfield team-mate in the FPL standings.

John Terry is drafted in ahead of Chelsea’s home game with West Brom. The Baggies have scored just once in their last two road trips, suggesting a first clean sheet in six could be on the cards for Jose Mourinho’s side, whilst Terry’s threat in the box has been particularly impressive in recent weeks and has delivered a goal and assist already.

Having recovered from the illness that kept him out of Sunday’s game at the Emirates, Glen Johnson welcomes Fulham to Anfield this weekend. Whether in a 3-4-1-2 or 4-4-2, Johnson arguably offers the greatest security of any of Brendan Rodgers’ defenders – with the Cottagers having failed to score in three of their last four road trips, the Reds look a strong shout for a clean sheet, while Johnson’s raids down the right offer hope of attacking returns.

A trip to struggling Palace brings Leighton Baines into the reckoning. Everton have conceded one in the last three, whilst their hosts have found the net on a single occasion over the same time period – as always, the left-back’s set-piece duties and delivery from the flank boost his appeal ahead of the Selhurst Park showdown.

With doubts still hovering over Eden Hazard’s starting role after the Belgian was omitted from the midweek Champions League match with Schalke, we’re opting for Oscar for Chelsea’s home game with West Brom. The Brazilian has been his side’s most consistent performer at the Bridge and has scored in three of five appearances in front of the Blues fans – Hazard, on the other hand, has scored in just one of Chelsea’s home games so far ahead of the visit of West Brom.

Adam Lallana gets the nod for Southampton’s home clash against Hull. The Saints skipper has produced a goal or assist in four of his last six appearances and, up against a Tigers side that have conceded twice in all but one of their road trips so far, could be poised to pick up the points again before the schedule turns a little tougher.

Man of the moment Aaron Ramsey cannot be ignored as Arsenal travel to Old Trafford. Wednesday’s winner in Dortmund continued the Welshman’s relentless pursuit of goals – it’s now 11 for the season in 17 games across all competitions for the Gunners midfielder. Ramsey has shown a consistency that has proven a rarity amongst midfield options this term – with attacking returns in seven of his 10 league appearances, he’ll be confident of picking up the points against a United side that have failed to register a clean sheet in any of the last six.

Runaway leader in this week’s Captain Poll, Luis Suarez will be licking his lips at the thought of a home game with Fulham. The Cottagers have managed a single clean sheet in nine games and with 23 points in his two Anfield appearances since returning from suspension, the Uruguayan could have a field day against Martin Jol’s strugglers.

A trip to struggling Sunderland offers Sergio Aguero the platform to continue his sensational form. Seven goals and five assists in the last five highlight his recent displays and, up against a side that have conceded in every game this season, the Argentine could be set for his fifth set of double figures thus far. While David Silva’s injury absence is a bitter blow for Manuel Pellegrini, it’s worth noting that the Spaniard was sidelined for the 4-1 win over United back in Gameweek 5 – Aguero still managed two goals and maximum bonus that day.

We’re expecting goals at both ends of the pitch in Sunday’s Old Trafford encounter and draft in Wayne Rooney for the home side. With five goals, three assists and 11 bonus points in his last seven league outings, the United forward has struck a rich vein of form under David Moyes and will fancy his chances of plundering a backline that have managed just one away clean sheet (at Palace) so far this season.

Ashley Williams warms the bench as Swansea prepare for the visit of Stoke. The Swans may be toiling up top but have been particularly resilient at the back, with just a single goal conceded in the last three league games. Williams, at 4.8, has earned six bonus points from three clean sheets so far.

United’s Adnan Januzaj also makes the squad for the visit of Arsenal. The youngster looks set for a fourth start in five after being rested from the midweek match against Real Sociedad and trickery on the flank has already harvested two goals and a pair of assists in six appearances under David Moyes.

Jay Rodriguez is our budget striker pick for the Saints’ home clash against Hull. The former Burnley man has finally found the form that made him such a pre-season favourite around these parts – with three goals, an assist and seven bonus points in the last four Gameweeks, he’s proven superb value at just 5.8.

    Okay. One last go for this before Nasri's price goes up: Nasri v. Coutinho. Let's see the facts.

    Form: Nasri is in a good form. Nobody knows about Coutinho's form, he just returned from injury.

    Time: Nasri is sure to start. So is Coutinho. But Nasri will be rotated again, later. Coutinho probably not.

    Team: City form (all premier league) 4-0-2, Pool form 3-1-2. Not big difference in that. City has scored 21 in last 6, Pool 12.

    Fixtures: this is crucial, because both have scored large majority against low table teams. Pool has met 2 top 10 teams in last 6, scoring 0 goals in these matches. City has scored against all teams, but they run riot against worst defences. The difference appears to be that Pool scores 3 against weak teams, City scores 5+. Both score significantly worse away than home.

    Pool: FUL, eve, hul, NOR, WHA, tot
    City: sun, TOT, SWA, wba, sot, ARS

    Price: Nasri is 0.5 cheaper.

    Differential: Nasri has 88,421 owners, Coutinho 145,242 owners.

    International break: Nasri will play competitive matches for France. Risk of injury and fatigue is high. Coutinho will not play international matches. Only worry is match fitness.

    Okay, which one it is? Considering you have equal coverage from City and Pool.

      Thanks to everybody. I think I look for getting both. How to turn Michu, Whippingham and Ramsey into Nasri, Coutinho and Walcott. Now, that's a question.

      Maybe first step is: content with having Ramsey, forget about Walcott. Yes. That's it.
