Fantasy Football Tips: 5 Important Players To Observe In Gameweek 31

4. Liam Rosenior

Team: Hull City (vs West Ham United, away) Position: Defender Value: £3.9m Selected by: 3.1% Total score: 67 For a budget friendly £3.9m, Rosenior has been delivering some solid points in recent weeks, with an assist at Cardiff City and a goal at West Bromwich Albion in his previous game. Rosenior made the most key passes amongst his fellow defenders in Hull City. With plenty of Fantasy Premier League managers sacrificing funds to purchase high-profile players, lesser cash remain available to spend on a quality bench. Many managers end up purchasing players who will probably never play for the clubs again this season, or players who cost lesser due to injury. West Ham have not been doing well in recent weeks, losing all of their matches since their impressive 3-1 victory against Southampton in February. For those who have Rosenior in your team, you should be handsomely rewarded. Following his solid defensive display against West Brom, he will most likely start and more importantly, contribute greatly in Hull's next match. During an interview earlier in the week, Rosenior had been heard praising his defensive colleagues, saying that "duo Curtis Davies and James Chester 'are international class' (and worthy of a spot in the England national team)". With such strong morale in an overachieving Hull squad ahead of their clash against a West Ham side who scored only once in their past three defeats, the defence will probably not be troubled much in the match, increasing the chances of bonus and clean sheet points for the former youth international. Should he continue his hot form against West Ham United, which he should, Rosenior is one of the players you need to have on your bench to provide adequate cover for your starting defenders, and provide an alternative should your defenders face daunting fixtures ahead of them during a particular gameweek.
