Paul Pogba (7.9) -- Manchester United | STO (H)
Despite only returning from injury
Justin time (see below) for hectic winter schedule, Paul has played every Prem minute since he came #Pogback.
Up next is a home tie against the woeful Stoke, who have conceded 6 goals in the past two weeks from all parts of the pitch (I'm talking Rudiger, Willian, Zappacosta, Drinkwater and Perez).
This can only mean upsetting levels of penetration from every angle. Don't forget to rubber up, Potters.

So Pogba is a great shout, as is Phil Jones (5.7), as is Valencia (6.7) if he's fit in time, as is just about anyone likely to get more than 6 minutes on the pitch.
SELL (KINDA) HIGH
Dominic Calvert-Lewin (5.5) -- Everton | TOT (A)
A player in the sub-6.0 bracket wouldn't normally qualify for a sell high but his relatively high ownership of 12% is the most of any player under 7.5, and is precisely 12% higher than it should be.
The resurgence of Rooney has seen the youngster's playing time diminish and Tosun (7.5) has clearly been brought in as the man to finally (very hopefully) replace Lukaku.
He may have served you well but you've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, and DCL just ain't in style no more.

FOOL'S GOLD
Firmino (9.1) -- Liverpool | MCI (H)
With magic man Coutinho off for a jolly at the Nou Camp, even a team as replete with attacking talent as Liverpool are likely to see a noticeable downturn in onion bagging. Suitable replacements such as Mahrez are being mooted but until a replacement is signed and bedded in, expect a disconsolate Liverpool side, put firmly in their place, to lose the big games and bore draw the little ones.
Firmino also succumbed to Klopp's rotation bingo against Burnley, and whilst he'll undoubtedly start against City, the likelihood he completes 90 minutes is looking... well... increasingly unlikely.
More importantly: Other much betterer options are more availabler.

| Don't look back in 10 years and realise you shouldn't have committed to Firmino, and you're not even drunk |
