The Scout is tipping four low-owned players who could be set for a breakout Gameweek in Fantasy Premier League

Edinson Cavani (MUN) £8.4m

The forward is found in only 1.9 per cent of squads for Manchester United's home derby with Manchester City.

Cavani featured in just four of the first nine Gameweeks, with three of those outings coming as a substitute.

But a change of formation to 3-5-2 against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend gave the Uruguayan his second start of the season.

Partnering Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.4m) up front, he scored his first goal of the campaign in a 3-0 win, earning eight points in Fantasy.

Cavani's underlying numbers against Spurs certainly look encouraging.

His four shots and four shots in the box were both double Ronaldo's totals.

Having featured off the bench against Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League in midweek, Cavani is expected to start against Man City.

Pep Guardiola's side have struggled in defence recently, keeping one clean sheet in the last four Gameweeks.

They also visit Old Trafford without influential centre-back Aymeric Laporte (£5.5m), who is suspended.

Cavani can exploit those frailties and get more goals this weekend.
