Fantasy managers have fewer game to contend with this weekend after FA Cup semi-finalists Manchester City, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace had their games moved forward.

Fulham forward Alex Iwobi, who has two goals and an assist in their last three games, is a worthy option given the coming matches.

Nottingham Forest have held their nerve really well under pressure from the bigger clubs in the race for Champions League qualification, doing their bit by beating Tottenham handily on Monday.
