With just two game weeks left, any one of your team selections could make the difference between glorious victory and crushing disappointment.

Goalkeepers

Choose 'em: Stoke's home record is fearsome, and they welcome a Wigan side without a win on the road since December, so Thomas Sorensen (7.85) looks a good bet.

Bolton keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen (8.27) will also fancy his chances of a home clean sheet against a Hull side without a win in their last nine.

Lose 'em: With Arsenal's Manuel Almunia (14.10) overpriced and unfit, Arsene Wenger has no choice but to play Lukasz Fabianski (5.38) at Old Trafford. Fortunately, you do.

Whether it's Scott Carson (6.44) or Dean Kiely (7.41) between the West Brom sticks on Sunday, be sure to avoid them as it's free-scoring Liverpool rolling into town.

With Chris Kirkland (5.28) out injured for Wigan, you might be thinking about picking up a cut-price Richard Kingson. Don't - he's not in the game.

Defenders

Choose 'em: Nicky Shorey (5.11) had an inauspicious start to his Aston Villa career, meaning that his price has dropped pretty low. Facing a toothless Middlesbrough attack should see him pick up a clean sheet bonus.

Unbelievably, Tottenham have only conceded nine goals at home all season, the best record in the league. Jonathan Woodgate (8.86) has played a big part in that. With plenty of midfield injuries, Harry Redknapp had to play Alan Hutton (6.81) on the wing at everton last week. If you fancy a laugh, you could pick the Scotsman.

Lose 'em: Obviously you shouldn't be going anywhere near a defender in a West Brom shirt, no matter how cheap they are or how well they've been playing recently.

Everton have secured their place in Europe next season, and they will be more preoccupied with not getting injured than making bone-crunching last-ditch tackles - best leave Joleon Lescott (11.51) and Joseph Yobo (8.91).

If you fancy Mikael Silvestre (7.88) to have a glorious game at his old club, then pick him. Go on, we dare you.

Midfielders

Choose 'em: With Chelsea playing host to Blackburn, and are one of the few teams capable of beating Rovers at their own physical game. Michael Essien (8.14) is sure to make his presence felt, while Frank Lampard (19.03) - who somehow scored just one point last week despite his team beating Arsenal 4-1 - is sure to get back among the points.

With Robinho (16.41) injured for the trip to Spurs, the nicely-priced Martin Petrov (5.72) will have the left wing at the Lane all to himself.

As for Liverpool's trip to the Hawthorns, why shell out a bundle for Steven Gerrard (23.03) when you can get Yossi Benayoun (10.59) at less than half the price?

Lose 'em: Up at St James' Park, Joey Barton (4.71) is suspended for the rest of the season and Damien Duff (7.60) has been playing at left-back. Steer well clear.

As mentioned before, Everton look to be a side coasting towards the FA Cup final, so perhaps Tim Cahill (9.03) and Marouane Fellaini (7.30) will take it easy against at West Ham side pushing for Europe.

Forwards

Choose 'em: Liverpool's 4-1 win at Old Trafford started a run of nine league games in which they have scored at least three goals in all but one match. Fernando Torres (15.17) will be all over them Baggies.

If Old Trafford were the setting for a 1980s teen movie, then Carlos Tevez (9.32) would be the plucky loser who everyone hopes triumphs over adversity, while Dimitar Berbatov (12.10) would be the uber-cool Jock who sees everything land on his lap. If you're lucky, you might find out which one gets the girl - i.e. is picked by Fergie - before the midday deadline.

The timely return to fitness of Fulham's Diomansy Kamara (8.69) has neatly filled that Andy Johnson-shaped hole. A tall striker with a new lease of life is exactly what Newcastle's defenders don't need, while Stoke's Ricardo Fuller (7.19) is likely to be a thorn in Wigan's side.

Lose 'em: Things keep going from bad to worse for Michael Owen (8.75). You'd have thought that his old England team-mate Alan Shearer becoming his boss would have kick-started his season, but Owen has mustered just four shots on goal in his five appearances under Shearer, and will spend the afternoon in Brede Hangeland's pocket.

Hull's Caleb Folan (1.00) may be, like, crazy cheap, but that's because a) he's not very good and b) he's still suspended for that kick out at Martin Skrtel.
