Mesut Ozil, Arsenal, 7 Points
Ozil remains the most consistent performer for the Gunners, continuing his fine run with a goal against Norwich City. As shared by Squawka, the midfield general guarantees a solid point total just about every week:
The Germany international usually acts as the main creative force for Arsenal, but on Sunday, it was Sanchez who set him up for the Gunners' only goal of the match. Sanchez later left the match with a hamstring injury, which is dreadful news for fantasy owners with the busiest part of the Premier League schedule on the horizon.
As shared by BBC Sport's Phil McNulty, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger knew the Chilean was an injury risk and played him anyway:
While it's too early to put a timetable on Sanchez's return, hamstring injuries are always tricky. He seems almost certain to miss the pivotal Champions League clash with Olympiacos.
The loss of Sanchez gives Ozil one less passing outlet to work with, and he's not the only Gunners forward currently sidelined. Olivier Giroud has the talent to score goals on a weekly basis, but consistency has never been his strongest asset. With Joel Campbell now likely to start in place of Sanchez, Arsenal's scoring output could take a hit.
Ozil has been as consistent as they come, however, and should be on your team every week regardless of the injuries around him. It's worth noting Laurent Koscielny also suffered an injury against the Canaries, and Francis Coquelin is still sidelined. So the Gunners may be forced to attack even more in the coming weeks to protect their weakened defence.
Asmir Begovic, Chelsea, 7 Points
Begovic turned away every shot he faced at White Hart Lane and put together one of his better performances of the season, resulting in a very respectable score for the Bosnian goalkeeper. Blues manager Jose Mourinho has always opted to have a starting-caliber backup at the position and, once again, the decision has paid off.
The stopper has done well in the absence of Thibaut Courtois, but as shared by Het Laatste Nieuws' Kristof Terreur, Mourinho confirmed the Belgian is nearing his return to the pitch:
Bournemouth have come back down to Earth after their strong start to the season and haven't won a Premier League match since September. With Chelsea now keeping a clean sheet in four consecutive matches, fantasy owners, if they can, should start whichever Chelsea keeper starts against the Cherries.
Given Bournemouth's struggles, it wouldn't be a surprise if Mourinho opted to rest Courtois a little longer, ensuring he's fully healthy by the time the holiday period kicks off. Keep a close eye on Courtois' progression in the coming week, but expect Begovic to get the nod against the Cherries.
James Milner, Liverpool, 7 Points
Milner has been one of Liverpool's most consistent performers this season and is a perfect fit for manager Jurgen Klopp's philosophy that is built around hardworking midfielders and plenty of pressure on the ball.
While that's great news for Reds fans, it doesn't make the England international a strong fantasy performer. He's become Liverpool's designated penalty-taker, which is a good thing. But apart from that, he's not a major threat to score goals or register assists, via WhoScored.com:
From a fantasy perspective, Liverpool have only one player worth adding to your team, and that's a healthy Philippe Coutinho, who has been spectacular since Klopp became manager. His team-mates still appear to be looking for their role, and until someone steps forward to share the scoring or passing load with the Brazilian, it makes little sense to invest in someone like Roberto Firmino.
That said, Firmino seems to be growing into his role, and he could make some noise in the second half of the season. Also keep an eye on Daniel Sturridge, who celebrated his return from injury against the Swans.
