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

Michael Keane (EVE) £4.2m

The arrival of Sean Dyche as Everton manager has revived the centre-back’s fortunes in Fantasy.

Keane had played just 22 minutes under Frank Lampard this season prior to the appointment of Dyche.

However, he has now started each of the Toffees’ last six matches alongside James Tarkowski (£4.2m) in the heart of defence.

Keane has quickly made an impact at both ends of the pitch, combining a goal and an assist with a clean sheet over those encounters.

The centre-back offers strong potential for defensive and attacking returns at home to Fulham this weekend.

Everton have been far more resilient at Goodison Park since the arrival of Dyche.

They have kept a clean sheet in three of Dyche’s five home matches at the helm, conceding just three goals.

By contrast, they managed only three shutouts in their first 10 home contests, conceding 14 goals.

Fulham, meanwhile, have struggled in attack recently and have only a single goal across their last three outings.

Keane’s goal threat could be a major weapon for the hosts on Saturday.

He has produced seven shots inside the box in his last six matches, compared to the four of Tarkowski.

Indeed, that total has been bettered only by the eight of Fabian Schar (£5.1m) and Mohammed Salisu (£4.3m) among all defenders.

At a cost of only £4.2m, Keane's all-round appeal makes him a strong value pick for the Gameweek ahead.
