Anderson has eight goals and three assists for the season so far and is currently priced at £7.2million in FLP and £8.7million for Sky. If you want value for money, Anderson is a great option for this Gameweek in particular.
Paul Pogba
Manchester United’s mercurial midfielder has been in sparkling form in recent weeks, and this Gameweek will see United up against bitter rivals Liverpool.
Pogba currently has 11 goals and eight assists from midfield, so his clinical eye for goal could earn players valuable points should his rich vein of form continue.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Arsenal’s leading marksman will be confident of adding to his goal tally this weekend, when a struggling Southampton side visit the Emirates on Sunday.
Aubameyang is only behind Sergio Aguero and Mohamed Salah in the top league scorer standings with 15 goals and he is also cheaper at £11.1 million for FPL players and £12.5 million for Sky players.
Aubameyang also has eight assists this season, so as well as scoring he is more than capable of supplying his team mates too.
