#3 Christian Eriksen
Gameweeks at top – 2
Gameweek 24 ranking – 3rd
Match performance – no goal/assist and in a slump in form
Goals involved in since Gameweek 14 – 12
After a slew of top performances that propelled him to the top of the power ranking, Eriksen has seen a massive slump in form in recent gameweeks. And there was not much of an improvement this weekend as well as he failed to create a single chance against Liverpool and was consequently substituted with Mauricio Pochettino’s side chasing a two-goal deficit.
The Dane has now gone 4 games without making a goal contribution and he will be itching to correct that in the coming games.
Fantasy Tip – Christian Eriksen’s current form implies he can be watched for a couple of games before picking him in the FPL.
#2 Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Gameweeks at top – 3
Gameweek 24 ranking – 2nd
Match performance – one assist and maintains pace with the ranking leader
Goals involved in since Gameweek 14 – 13
Ibrahimovic’s response to going two games without a goal contribution for the first time since gameweek 14 is a positive one as he followed up last gameweek’s goal against Leicester with an assist for Anthony Martial’s goal against Watford.
The assist nudges him ahead of Christian Eriksen while maintaining pace with the leader of the rankings.
Fantasy Tip – Zlatan Ibrahimovic faces three teams in the bottom-half of the table next and can be expected to deliver given he is the most important player in Jose Mourinho’s side.
