The Scout highlights players for Fantasy Premier League managers to target with their unlimited transfers before the Gameweek 30+ deadline.

Bruno Fernandes (MUN) £8.6m

The Portugal international has been a huge success since joining Manchester United in January.

Fernandes has scored twice and provided three assists in his five Gameweek appearances, blanking on just one occasion.

He has averaged 7.6 points per match, more than any other player this season.

Fernandes goals and assists

The Red Devils’ highly favourable run-in boosts Fernandes’s prospects of more points in FPL.

Six of the club's final nine opponents, Brighton & Hove Albion, AFC Bournemouth, Aston Villa, Southampton, Crystal Palace and West Ham United, are in the bottom half of the table.

Set-piece appeal

Fernandes’s dead-ball responsibilities are another factor in his favour.

He has been handed free-kicks and corners for United and also appears to be on penalties, netting from the spot against Watford in Gameweek 27.

After his arrival in Gameweek 25, his total of 19 shots was joint-top among all players in FPL.

And his 11 chances created ranked fourth overall.

With those numbers and his kind run of opponents, Fernandes is poised to be a key player for FPL managers over the remaining nine Gameweeks.
