Ahead of the season resuming on 26 December, The Scout's panel of Fantasy Premier League experts discuss which low-owned players are worth adding to your squad before Monday's 11:00 GMT deadline.

Anthony Martial (£6.7m) looks set to start as the centre-forward for Manchester United at home to Nottingham Forest in Gameweek 17 following a full "pre-season" in December. Owned by under three per cent of managers, he looks like a top differential.

With doubts surrounding the fitness of Richarlison (£8.4m), Dejan Kulusevski (£8.0m) looks the perfect differential. Kulusevski returned from injury in Gameweek 15 and produced back-to-back returns.

Having been well rested, the 4.9%-owned Swede looks to be an excellent differential pick.

With Cristiano Ronaldo having left Man Utd, I'm intrigued to see whether it brings the best out of Bruno Fernandes (£9.8m) on a consistent basis. United will need his leadership, quality in the middle of the park and possibly his penalty prowess as they begin the post-Ronaldo era.

Chelsea have a few players who will be looking to bounce back from disappointment. Raheem Sterling (£9.7m) hasn't really started firing for the Blues, but I'll back him for attacking returns at home to AFC Bournemouth.

With Ronaldo gone and Martial having time to build up his fitness over the World Cup break, the Frenchman is a great differential at home to Forest.

Kyle Walker (£4.8m) looks to be a great differential, just as he was back in Gameweek 1. Manchester City are a side to treble up on ahead of their scheduled Double Gameweeks, with Walker set to make a mockery of his price tag.

Diogo Dalot (£4.8m) had a fantastic World Cup and I expect him to continue his good form against Forest, providing he is passed fit. The right-back's attacking threat suggests he can prove to be a steal.
