The Scout is tipping five players to produce big points in Gameweek 19 of 2021/22 Fantasy Premier League.

Please note that The Scout's original Kings to watch of Raul Jimenez and Kostas Tsimikas no longer have a fixture in GW19, due to the postponements of Liverpool v Leeds and Wolves v Watford.

Raul Jimenez (WOL) £7.5m

A home encounter with Watford can help revive the Mexican’s prospects in Fantasy.

Jimenez has dropped to under 6.0 per cent ownership after blanking in each of his last five appearances for Wolverhampton Wanderers

But the Hornets’ poor defensive displays this season suggest he could be set for a successful weekend.

They have conceded 52 shots in the penalty area in their last four matches, a league-leading total.

Watford are the only side who are yet to keep a clean sheet in 2021/22.

Home comforts

Jimenez has been a major influence in Wolves' home matches in this campaign.

He has been involved in four of their five goals at Molineux, scoring twice and assisting two more.

The underlying numbers also show Jimenez’s all-round impact on Wolves' home performances.

At home, his 19 shots and 14 shots in the box are both team-leading totals. 

He was also Wolves’ top creator in those matches, making 16 key passes.

Appealing fixtures

Wolves’ favourable upcoming schedule also boosts Jimenez’s prospects over the winter.

According to the Fixture Difficulty Ratings (FDR), three of their next five matches score just two.

In addition to their meeting with Watford, Bruno Lage’s side also face Southampton and Brentford in that run.

Jimenez’s influence on the Wolves attack can prove decisive over that period, starting with his showdown against Watford on Sunday.
