Dele Alli, £8.7

Tottenham's Attacking-mIdfielder is the best man to pick against Chelsea. The England international has scored 6 Goals and 2 Assists in 7 games vs The Blues and is expected to make a huge impact in Sunday's home fixture. Go for him and don't hesitate to make him the captain or vice-captain of your side. Alli is spurs' key man along with Harry Kane and Son Heung-min. With a price of £8.7, Dele Alli to easily close in on the £9.5 by the end of EPL hits its business end.

James Maddison, £7.8

The foxes midfielder in one of the best-attacking choices you can go for, in Gameweek 18. Maddison is Leicester City's second-highest FPL points scorer standing right after Jamie Vardy (133) with 88 points. He will be playing against Manchester City next and must be included in your FPL team as the Leicester man has already scored 5 goals and also has 5 assists to his name. James Maddison is also the best long-term prospect for your Fantasy Premier League (FPL) side.

Danny Ings £6.4

The Southampton striker was so unlucky in his last match hitting the post twice and also facing the grunt of seeing a fantastic goal ruled out. Danny Ings has five goals in his last six games and will be up against a really poor Aston Villa defence, who have conceded the biggest chances in the last four game-weeks and will be without the injured Tyrone Mings. Ings is a great option and a potential forward with 86 FPL points as your third back-up striker, if you are also looking for a long-term buy, surely go for him!
