The Scout is tipping five players to produce big points in Gameweek 12 of 2021/22 Fantasy Premier League.

Callum Wilson (NEW) £7.3m

A kind upcoming home schedule lifts the prospects of the Newcastle United forward in Fantasy.

The Magpies entertain Brentford, Norwich City and Burnley in the next four Gameweeks.

According to the Fixture Difficulty Ratings, each of those matches score only two.

Wilson has scored four goals this season, including a stunning strike at Crystal Palace, but it is his home form that has been particularly impressive, suggesting he will be a major influence for new head coach Eddie Howe.

Wilson's goal v Crystal Palace

 

The striker has scored in three of his four outings at St James’ Park, averaging 6.3 points per match in those encounters.

Indeed, his only home blank has come against Chelsea’s strong defence in Gameweek 10.

All-round threat

The underlying statistics further show Wilson’s importance to Newcastle's attack.

Despite playing only seven of the first 11 Gameweeks, his 12 shots in the box and five big chances are team-leading totals.

Wilson has been a far more reliable goal scorer than fellow Newcastle forward Allan Saint-Maximin (£6.8m) in 2021/22.

He has found the net every 147.8 minutes compared with the Frenchman's 490.5 minutes.  

Yet while Saint-Maximin is the fifth most-popular forward in Fantasy, owned by 15.3 per cent, only 2.3 per cent of managers have selected Wilson. 

That marks Wilson out as a major differential as Howe looks to take advantage of those three home fixtures and get off to a flying start.
