A roundup of Gameweek 29’s fantasy football games, including the talking point if each game and the star man.

Saturday

Tottenham 2-0 Huddersfield

A Son Heung-min double saw off Huddersfield at Wembley with Harry Kane and Dele Alli notching an assist each.

The Terriers now face relegation-rivals Swansea, Palace and Newcastle, so, if your budget is running low, it could be worth picking one of their lads in the big games ahead.

Yahoo star man: Son Heung-min (23.65pts)

Liverpool 2-0 Newcastle

Liverpool edged into second place for two days after a simple victory against struggling Newcastle.

Sadio Mane scored his fifth in three games after Salah contributed his 32nd goal in all competitions this season, so believe the hype and keep selecting Liverpool’s forwards.

Yahoo star man: Mohamed Salah (15.90pts)

Burnley 2-1 Everton

The Clarets came from behind to earn their first win since November in what could be a turning point to the second half of their season.

Everton’s sixth away loss on the bounce is a big enough warning to think twice before selecting one of their players ahead of a game on the road.

Yahoo star man: Ashley Barnes (19.70pts)

Swansea 4-1 West Ham

Swansea’s sixth consecutive home victory continued their valiant fight to remain in the Premier League.

No side has conceded more goals than West Ham this season, so banking on a West Ham defender as a cheap buy doesn’t look to be a great bet for the remainder of the season.

Yahoo star man: Ki Sung-yueng (18.55pts)

Leicester 1-1 Bournemouth

A 97th-minute free kick equaliser from Riyad Mahrez cancelled out a Joshua King penalty, proving the Algerian’s transfer window woes are behind him.

Both teams are safe from the eight-team relegation battle below, so expect them to struggle when facing sides with much more to fight for.

Yahoo star man: Riyad Mahrez (22.95pts)

West Brom 0-1 Watford

Championship-bound West Brom failed to earn their first point since January 20 as Troy Deeney calmly finished the only goal of the game on his 300th club appearance.

Alan Pardew’s team are now seven points adrift at the bottom of the table, but you could earn a few cheap points by monitoring if their performances improve or unprofessionally deteriorate with nothing to play for.

Yahoo star man: Orestis Karnezis (13pts)

Southampton 0-0 Stoke

Southampton couldn’t find a way past Jack Butland, leaving themselves one point off the drop zone with their opponents now in 19th.

The Potters’ Kurt Zouma-led back line stood sturdy to claim their first away clean sheet in 10 games, so could this be the return of a defensively solid Stoke? They face Manchester City next, so probably not.

Yahoo star man: Jack Butland (17pts)

Sunday

Brighton 2-1 Arsenal

Arsenal were embarrassed at the hands of Brighton, piling more pressure on Arsene Wenger as their season continues to fall off a cliff edge.

Glen Murray has been incredibly influential in Brighton’s recent upturn in form, netting seven in nine games, earning 11.30 points this week at the salary of £19.

Yahoo star man: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (15.75pts)

Manchester City 1-0 Chelsea

Chelsea rolled over to allow Pep Guardiola’s men their third win in arguably the most difficult week of their season so far.

Hazard showed his influence in the false nine position is non-existent and nowhere near worth his £25 Yahoo salary, earning just 1.25 points during the game.

Yahoo star man: David Silva (15.38pts)

Monday

Crystal Palace 2-3 Manchester United

A rare Nemanja Matic stunner saw United come from two down to beat a makeshift Palace side still dangerously flirting with relegation.

Top-earners Paul Pogba and Alexis Sanchez produced a dismal first-half display, but a ‘typical United’ comeback has delivered momentum going into the big game against Liverpool on Saturday.

Yahoo star man: Nemanja Matic (16.65pts)
