The Scout is tipping five players to produce big points in Gameweek 26 of 2021/22 Fantasy Premier League.

Bukayo Saka (ARS) £6.4m

The winger has emerged as a top target for Arsenal’s favourable Double Gameweek 26.

Saka is the second most-bought player ahead of Saturday’s 11:00 GMT deadline, earning over 119,000 new owners.

The Gunners are among eight sides set to play twice, welcoming both Brentford and Wolverhampton Wanderers to Emirates Stadium.

Saka has claimed 51 points in home matches this season, joint-top with Emile Smith Rowe (£5.8m) among outfield players for Arsenal.

The underlying numbers show his major all-round influence on Mikel Arteta’s attack.

At home, Saka’s 27 shots, 22 shots inside the penalty area and 24 chances created are all team-leading totals.

His statistics also fare well when assessed against his displays on the road this term.

Saka has been supplied with four big chances at home and also created four big chances. By contrast, those totals drop to one and two respectively in away matches.

Long-term appeal

Arsenal’s run of opponents after Gameweek 26 also lifts Saka’s potential in Fantasy.

Although they have a Blank Gameweek 27, the Gunners then face Watford and Leicester City’s struggling defences in their subsequent two matches.

They also have three fixtures yet to be rescheduled, which is likely to lead to further Double Gameweeks later in the season.

That gives Saka the chance to reward his growing ownership and thrive over the remainder of 2021/22 Fantasy.
