Kaoru Mitoma (£5.0m) continued his fine run of form in Fantasy Premier League with a goal and a 10-point haul against Leicester City on Saturday.
The Brighton & Hove Albion winger has blanked in only one of his last seven outings, producing four goals, two assists and 46 points in that run.
Crucially, Mitoma has the long-term schedule to extend his output for many matches to come.
The Seagulls face only two of the top six sides in the next eight Gameweeks.
Brighton's next eight Gameweeks
| GW | Opp. | FDR | GW | Opp. | FDR |
| 22 | BOU (H) | 2 | 26 | WHU (H) | 2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 23 | CRY (A) | 3 | 27 | LEE (A) | 2 |
| 24 | FUL (H) | 2 | 28 | MUN (H) | 3 |
| 25 | NEW (A) | 3 | 29 | BRE (H) | 2 |
That has made Mitoma a key target for managers for Gameweek 22.
Indeed, he is the second most-bought player in FPL ahead of a home match against AFC Bournemouth, earning 58,000 new owners even though the next deadline is not until 18:30 GMT on Friday 3 February.
Mitoma's new owners are clearly keen to avoid any potential price changes.

Full-back Pervis Estupinan (£4.5m) and forward Evan Ferguson (£4.6m) both produced attacking returns in the 2-2 draw and provide further options for Brighton's kind run.
Bowen back in form?
Jarrod Bowen's (£8.0m) display against Everton suggests he could be returning to top form.
The West Ham United winger was the fourth highest-scoring player in 2021/22 Fantasy, with 12 goals and 17 assists.
Bowen claimed his season-high score of 16 points in Saturday's 2-0 win over Everton, scoring twice and collecting the maximum three bonus points.

Two of his four goals and two of his three assists for the entire season have come since FPL resumed in Gameweek 17.
However, West Ham now face a Newcastle United side who kept a sixth successive clean sheet in their goalless draw at Crystal Palace.
Trippier closing in on Haaland
Newcastle right-back Kieran Trippier (£6.0m) rewarded his 68 per-cent ownership by collecting the maximum bonus to total eight points.
He sits just 11 points behind Erling Haaland (£12.2m) at the top of the player standings, on 141 points.
Emery getting best of Watkins
Ollie Watkins (£7.1m) proved decisive in Aston Villa’s 1-0 victory at Southampton.
The forward’s winner took his tally to two goals and two assists in six matches under Unai Emery.
Watkins has been involved in 50 per cent of Aston Villa’s goals when selected by the head coach, a team-leading total.
