For a more in-depth introduction to PlayON, take a look at this season’s introduction article.

Goalkeeper – Joe Hart
Priced at a mere 7.7m, the Man City stopper travels to Everton this weekend before hosting Villa at the Etihad in midweek. Manuel Pellegrini’s side chalked up their first shut-out in six attempts last Sunday and, whilst Hart may have to rely on saves for the Goodison encounter, Villa’s record of two goals in four matches is indicative of their struggling attack. David De Gea is also very favourably priced. Coming in at 7.4m, he welcomes Sunderland and Hull to Old Trafford this Gameweek and earned his first home clean sheet since January last weekend. Given their budget-friendly price tags, in comparison to other double Gameweek keepers, it’s difficult to look beyond the Manchester-based pair.

Defender – Patrice Evra
The Frenchman’s raids down the left offers the chance of points at both ends of the pitch for the Red Devils’ pair of matches. Setting you back 9.0m, Evra looks poised to start both matches and, as last week’s win over Norwich highlighted, Ryan Giggs is determined to go on the offensive and finish the season on a high. Sunderland’s Santiago Vergini is available for just 8.1m for a trip to United and home encounter with West Brom. The right-back looks to have risen above Phil Bardsley in the pecking order and offers the cheapest route into Gus Poyet’s backline, with a clean sheet to his name in last week’s resounding win over Cardiff. Coming in at 10.0m, Vincent Kompany is the cheapest of Manuel Pellegrini’s backline regulars but, with three goals to his name so far, the Man City skipper has netted more times than any defensive team-mate ahead of the matches against Everton and Villa.

Midfielder – Juan Mata
With five goals in his last four appearances, the Spaniard has finally settled at Old Trafford after a series of inconsistent displays. Mata climbed off the bench to bag a brace in Ryan Giggs’ debut at the helm last weekend and with doubts over both Wayne Rooney and Robin Van Persie, he seems poised to be re-installed to the starting XI ahead of the pair of home fixtures – coming in at 10.5m, he looks a canny acquisition for the Gameweek. Yaya Toure’s return from injury last week proved pivotal to Manchester City’s title ambitions. The Ivorian’s goal and assist in the 2-0 win at Crystal Palace ended the Eagles’ five-match winning streak and placed the visitors firmly in the driving seat for their second title in three seasons. Priced at 10.1m for the games against Everton and Villa, Toure still looks excellent value as he attempts to add to his 19-goal haul and fire Manuel Pellegrini’s side to the summit. Adam Johnson (9.2m) could finally be set to end a recent dry spell. Granted, a trip to Old Trafford is tricky, but the home game against West Brom bodes well – the Baggies have conceded three times in three of their last five fixtures.

Forward – Sergio Aguero
Available for 11.3m in this week’s PlayON Player Price List, the Argentine could be set to deal some real damage over the double. Aguero seems the safest bet from either of the Manchester sides to start both matches and, as we’ve seen in seasons gone by, his predatory nature in the penalty box could make all the difference to City’s title bid. Robin Van Persie is still a doubt for Man United’s matches against Sunderland and Hull but, having returned to training earlier in the week, the Dutchman – who comes in at a mere 7.8m – is very favourably priced and could be a real bargain if given the game time by Ryan Giggs. Handed his first start since February last weekend, Saido Berahino fired the winner against West Ham to take West Brom a step closer to survival. Available for 10.5m, the youngster has back-to-back matches against Arsenal and Sunderland to plunder the goals again.

    As I can't afford direct switch Roo --> RVP, nobody actually is tempting me to bring in for a hit.

    I actually may keep Roo and eventually get Chester from the bench if he fails to play and bring Sturridge in for him for the last game.

        Umm, Hazard failed to track back, and it was his fault.

        Even if it wasnt, Hazard still called Chelsea inappropriate for football which is not a right thing to do, given that Mourinho has given his all efforts to keep Chelsea top notch.

        If players cant respect the managers, then managers cant respect the player. At first Mou did ignore Haz's mistake in the interview after the match, but then Haz lost his mind, and similarly, Jose did too.

      Mou not happy with Haz. At first he chose to ignore Hazard's mistake for the first goal of Atleti, but after Hazard's comments of "Chelsea not built for football", Mou is taking a different approach.

      "When the comments come from a player like Eden it's normal because he's not the kind of player to sacrifice himself for the team," said Mourinho.

      "If you see the first goal of Atletico you completely understand where the mistake was and why we conceded that goal."

            Toughie, for all the attacking Fulham need to do, Dejagah looks the most likely to create/score.
            Going for goals, Liverpool might leave themselves open to a counter attack. I prefer to go with the midfielder.

          Nothing I can do to get rid of Rooney makes sense. RVP would mean -8 and losing Eriksen/Ramsey.

              Tough one. I can see Arsenal players getting a rest in GW38 with CL spot likely in the bag and FA Cup Final round the corner. And I'd really want Eriksen at home to Fulham, so I guess Ramsey (just).

              Ah yes, one game would be fine (Hull BTW, not Villa). But there's a Sky quote floating about stating that he probably won't play either game.

            Think of it this way. RvP comes in for -8. He scores 2 goals in each of his games (very possible), gets 26 points (at least 60min per game) and you get your net gain of 18...hell you can even captain him for a net gain of 44.

            But that's the only mindset you gotta be in to get RvP in your team.

              Could happen. If I were chasing down a big lead, I might do it. But I'm not. I'll play Eriksen instead who could easily get a goal and assist.
