Following a pause in international matches, FA Cup fixtures, and midweek league games, the Premier League is back for its regular weekend lineup on Saturday.
Time is running out for fantasy football enthusiasts as we approach matchday 31, presenting a great chance to outsmart friends, family, and colleagues.
Prior to the weekend matches, let's review five players to consider for your fantasy team.
Nick Pope, Newcastle (Goalkeeper)
Nick Pope had a calm outing in Newcastle's EFL Cup triumph over Liverpool recently and could have another straightforward game against Leicester on Monday.
Newcastle will have a challenging match against Brentford on Wednesday, but Leicester, even at home, are not expected to pose a threat.
Leicester has struggled in front of goal this season, with just 25 goals in 29 league games and a run of six matches without scoring before facing Man City.
Pedro Porro, Tottenham (Defender)
Tottenham is likely to have an easy game on matchday 31 against struggling Southampton on Sunday, following a tough match against Chelsea on Thursday.
Tottenham has struggled to keep clean sheets this season but should feel confident against Southampton.
Therefore, flying full-back Pedro Porro could be a wise choice given his attacking contributions and potential for a clean sheet.
Eberechi Eze, Crystal Palace (Midfielder)
Midfielder Eberechi Eze stood out in Crystal Palace's 3-0 victory over Fulham in the FA Cup quarter-finals and is a player to watch on matchday 31.
Eze was influential against Fulham and will be looking to continue his good form as Palace faces Southampton and Brighton.
Eze's ability to perform in big matches makes him a compelling choice for matchday 31.
Bukayo Saka, Arsenal (Midfielder)
Bukayo Saka, priced at around £10.3 million, is a popular pick after returning from injury and scoring the winning goal against Fulham.
Saka has been a key creative player for Arsenal this season, providing assists and scoring goals, and will be keen to make an impact against Everton on Saturday.
Omar Marmoush, Man City (Forward)
With Erling Haaland sidelined due to injury, Omar Marmoush is expected to fill the void for Man City with his impressive goal-scoring record.
Marmoush has already scored four goals since joining the club and can help City in the derby clash against Manchester United on Sunday.
