The Scout is tipping five players for big success in Double Gameweek 35 (DGW35) of Fantasy Premier League and FPL Challenge.

Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea) £6.8m

The Chelsea forward is an appealing pick in both Fantasy Premier League and FPL Challenge.

The Blues and Tottenham Hotspur are the only sides who play TWICE in DGW35. Meanwhile, in FPL Challenge, all players from Chelsea and Spurs, along with those from Arsenal, Crystal Palace and Fulham, score DOUBLE points.

Jackson approaches the Blues’ DGW35 against Aston Villa and Spurs on the back of three goals, three assists and 41 points in his last eight appearances.

Since the start of Gameweek 28, his five big chances and seven shots on target rank second only to Cole Palmer (£6.2m) for Chelsea, while his nine key passes place second among all forwards in Fantasy.

After their DGW35, Chelsea go on to have home encounters with West Ham United and AFC Bournemouth either side of their Double Gameweek 37 (DGW37) against Nottingham Forest and Brighton & Hove Albion, giving Jackson the chance to establish himself as a starter in many managers' forward lines. 

Brennan Johnson (Spurs) £5.8m

The winger appears to have secured a regular role for Spurs recently, having started five of their last six league matches.

Johnson has seized his opportunity, scoring twice and supplying two assists to collect 30 points in that period, second only to the 37 of Son Heung-min (£9.8m) among team-mates.

An increase in big chances has lifted the winger’s prospects of goals recently. Johnson has had seven such opportunities from Gameweek 28 onwards, matching the combined total of Son, James Maddison (£7.8m) and Timo Werner (£6.3m).  

At a cost of only £5.8m, Johnson has the eye for goal to be a big cut-price success over Spurs’ final six fixtures. He also looks a very strong option for FPL Challenge in DGW35, with Spurs players earning double points. 

Fabian Schar (Newcastle) £5.7m

Newcastle United’s centre-back is the most-bought defender in the Gameweek ahead of a very favourable run of opponents. 

Over 125,000 managers have brought in Schar, who faces the bottom two clubs Sheffield United and Burnley prior to his DGW37 against Brighton and Manchester United.

The Swiss has been a major success at both ends of the pitch this season, having combined four goals and three assists with nine clean sheets.

Schar’s attacking potential is further highlighted by his total of 33 shots, which has been bettered by only two other defenders in 2023/24 Fantasy.

Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd) £8.3m

Like Newcastle, Man Utd also have two kind fixtures before their DGW37.

Playmaker Fernandes faces Burnley this weekend and then Palace in GW36 on the back of 72 points in his last eight outings, having produced seven goals, three assists and just a single blank. That includes his back-to-back season-high returns of 15 and 18 points in his last two matches. 

The underlying numbers show why the Portuguese has been the Red Devils’ standout player in Fantasy during that period from Gameweek 26-34.

Fernandes' 28 shots, 17 shots on target and 27 key passes all rank top for Erik ten Hag’s side, with the latter two totals each putting him among the top two players in Fantasy. 

Hwang Hee-chan (Wolves) £5.4m

A home encounter with Luton Town gives the fit-again Wolverhampton Wanderers star the chance to get back on the scoresheet.

Hwang has recently recovered from injury to start both his side's matches in Double Gameweek 34 (DGW34). Although he blanked on each occasion, his displays at Molineux this season have looked encouraging.

In home matches, the South Korean's six goals, 18 shots in the box and five big chances are all team-leading totals. 

Luton, meanwhile, travel to Wolves on the back of successive 5-1 losses. 

Away from home this season, the Hatters have conceded more goals, shots in the box and big chances than any other side.
