Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Danny Ings
Danny Ings' form has dipped since that winter scoring run but he is still excellent value given a forthcoming run of good fixtures.
West Ham's home record is the joint-worst in the top flight, while Southampton are one of the few sides to perform better on their travels.
Harvey Barnes
While fantasy favourites Jamie Vardy and James Maddison have struggled for form, Harvery Barnes is offering consistent points from midfield.
Expect Barnes to be reinstated after coming off the bench against Manchester City. He should enjoy himself against basement club Norwich.
Reece James
Owned by less than one per cent of managers, Reece James offers a relatively cheap differential route into a defence which should be performing better.
Chelsea's underlying numbers suggest they should have kept more than just five clean sheets but a smooth run of upcoming fixtures stands in their favour.
Richarlison
Though Everton have hit a wall of tough fixtures in their schedule, it is difficult to ignore the form of both Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison.
Both have two goals and an assist in two. Either could capitalise on Everton's good home record this season when Manchester United vist Goodison Park.
Trent Alexander-Arnold
It is unlikely that Trent Alexander-Arnold is not part of your squad but if not, rectify your mistake. The Liverpool full-back set up two in Monday's 3-2 win over West Ham and was inches away from a hat-trick of assists.
Alexander-Arnold may be the first fantasy defender who is bona fide captaincy material and a trip to relegation-threatened Watford this weekend promises much.
Honourable mentions: Nick Pope, Federico Fernandez, Bruno Fernandes, Leandro Trossard, Jamie Vardy
