FFS Strongest XI

Thibaut Courtois – £16
Marcos Alonso – £16
Sead Kolasinac – £15
Vincent Kompany – £14
Arthur Masuaku – £12
Eden Hazard – £23
Sadio Mane – £21
Bernardo Silva – £15
Eric Choupo-Moting – £17
Mohamed Salah – £27
Alexis Sanchez – £24

We ‘re opting for Chelsea’s Thibaut Courtois between the posts at home to a Swansea City side that have scored just three times on their travels this season. The recent return of N’Golo Kante has boosted the Blues’ clean sheet potential – they have conceded just three goals in the Frenchman’s last eight league appearances. Courtois also benefits from the Yahoo scoring system, as goalkeepers earn double the number of points as defenders for a clean sheet, as well as points for wins or draws.

Marcos Alonso also comes in as we double up on the Chelsea defence. With the visitors’ top scorer Tammy Abraham ineligible to play against his parent club, Antonio Conte’s side look well on course to claim a sixth clean sheet of the season. The number one defender for shots (21), efforts on target (six) and goals (three), the left wing-back’s prospects are boosted by Swansea’s weak right flank – Paul Clement’s side sit second bottom for chances conceded (61) and crosses conceded (153) down that side of the pitch.

The home form of Sead Kolasinac is too good to ignore as Arsenal welcome Huddersfield to the Emirates. In front of his own supporters, the Gunners’ summer signing has produced a goal, three assists and four clean sheets in just six appearances. Given that the Terriers have failed to score in their last five road trips, he looks poised for further points this evening.

Priced at £14 to team-mate Nicolas Otamendi’s £16, Vincent Kompany offers a budget-friendly route into Manchester City’s defence for the visit of Southampton. At home, the league leaders only have three clean sheets in six, yet they have allowed fewer shots (36) than any side. Up against a Saints outfit with three away strikes to their name, another shut-out seems likely. If Pep Guardiola opts against handing Kompany a third straight league start, Eliaquim Mangala is identically priced to the Belgian.

We’re also drafting in West Ham’s Arthur Masuaku as David Moyes returns to former club Everton tonight. Costing just £12 and fielded on the left wing against Leicester City last time out, the Frenchman looks a very handy budget out-of-position option. Masuaku has only started three times this term, but has averaged 5.6 Yahoo points when named on the Hammers’ teamsheet, despite conceding eight goals in those fixtures. He supplied more crosses (eight) than any team-mate against the Foxes and has already delivered two assists.

Eden Hazard is our preferred Chelsea attacker for the Swansea encounter. The Belgian comes in slightly cheaper (£23 to £24) than his team-mate Alvaro Morata and has bettered him for both shots on target (nine to six) and goals (three to two) over the previous four Gameweeks. No player has created more chances than Hazard’s 12 over that period, highlighting his potential for assists against the Swans.

Handed just a single minute off the bench against Chelsea on Saturday, Sadio Mane looks set to return to Liverpool’s XI for the visit to Stoke City. Although he’s only scored three times this season, Mane’s impact has been dented by injuries – assessed against last term, his minutes per shot (from 39.3 to 30.4) have improved, while his minutes per goal (172.3) is exactly the same. The Senegal international has a goal and two assists in his previous two away matches in all competitions ahead of the trip to the bet365.

We’re taking a punt on Bernardo Silva for Manchester City’s home match with Southampton. As the winter schedule accelerates, Pep Guardiola may well freshen up his options this evening and turn to the summer signing from Monaco, who has played just nine minutes in the last three Gameweeks. Silva has a goal and assist in 120 minutes over his previous three at the Etihad and faces a defence with a single clean sheet in eight.

Listed as a midfielder in Yahoo, Stoke’s Eric Choupo-Moting continues to be stationed up front by manager Mark Hughes. The Cameroon international sits fourth overall for shots inside the box (19) in front of his own supporters and has produced two goals and three assists in his previous five at the bet365. Choupo-Moting entertains a Liverpool side that have conceded 16 times on the road – that’s the joint-worst away defence in the league.

With more shots (18) and efforts on target (10) than any player over the previous four Gameweeks, Liverpool’s in-form Mohamed Salah looks set to torment Stoke’s porous defence. The Egyptian struck his tenth goal of the season against Chelsea last weekend and now goes head-to-head with a side that are conceding an average of two goals per league match. The Potters have allowed 22 chances down their left at home – second only to Watford (23) in fewer matches – which only strengthens Salah’s prospects on the Reds’ right flank.

Alexis Sanchez completes our line-up for Arsenal’s home clash with Huddersfield. Three goals in his last five suggests that the Chilean is finally back in form as he looks to continue a remarkable scoring record that has harvested 17 goals in 18 appearances against newly-promoted clubs. David Wagner’s side have shipped nine goals in their last three road trips, which included visits to Swansea and Bournemouth.

As Yahoo allows late swaps up until each kick-off, our listed line-up may well be subject to change as rest and rotation start to come into play.
