The Scout is tipping five players to produce big points in Gameweek 31 of 2022/23 Fantasy Premier League.

Ben Mee (BRE) £5.1m

A visit to Wolverhampton Wanderers gives the Brentford centre-back an opportunity to extend his fine 2022/23 campaign.

Mee ranks sixth among the top-scoring defenders in Fantasy thanks to his all-round output, combining three goals with nine clean sheets to total 111 points.

That surpasses his previous best-ever tally of 110 points, set in 2019/20 while playing for Burnley.

Set-piece prowess

Brentford’s threat at free-kicks and corners could prove decisive at Molineux this weekend.

They have scored a league-high 14 goals from set-pieces this season.

Mee’s aerial ability has played a big part in that success. Indeed, his 14 shots and nine headed attempts are both among Brentford’s top two players from such situations.

Wolves, meanwhile, have been particularly vulnerable at free-kicks and corners of late.

They have conceded 38 shots from set-plays in the last six Gameweeks, second only to the 39 of AFC Bournemouth.

Long-term appeal

Wolves have also struggled for a cutting edge in attack, scoring just seven goals in their previous eight matches.

Brentford’s subsequent home schedule suggests Mee can be a very handy squad member in Fantasy for the run-in.

According to the Fixture Difficulty Ratings (FDR), each of their next three matches at the Gtech Community Stadium score only two.

Starting with his encounter against Wolves, Mee can reward managers at both ends of the pitch over the next few Gameweeks.
