The Scout is tipping five players for big success in Gameweek 24 of Fantasy Premier League ahead of Saturday's 11:00 GMT deadline.

Andrew Robertson (Liverpool) £6.4m

The Liverpool left-back could be set for his first start since Gameweek 8 after stepping up his recovery from injury.

Robertson marked his return with an appearance off the bench against Norwich City in the FA Cup and has featured as a substitute in matches against Chelsea and Arsenal in the last two Gameweeks.

A home encounter with Burnley gives the Scot the opportunity to deliver points at both ends of the pitch.

Robertson was Liverpool’s most creative player in the opening eight Gameweeks, providing 19 key passes, which suggests he was very unfortunate not to earn a single assist.

Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal) £7.7m

After a disappointing start to 2023/24, the Arsenal winger has looked back to his best of late.

Martinelli has scored three of his five goals this season in the last four Gameweeks, also supplying an assist to earn 32 points.

That total is more than any other Gunners player, bettering the 29 points of team-mate Bukayo Saka (£9.0m), who is the second most-owned player in Fantasy.

While Saka can be found in 60 per cent of squads, Martinelli is selected by a mere 5.9 per cent of managers ahead of Arsenal’s visit to West Ham United.

A kind schedule further lifts the Brazilian’s appeal as an overlooked route into Mikel Arteta’s attack, with matches against promoted pair Burnley and Sheffield United coming up in the next four Gameweeks. 

Elijah Adebayo (Luton) £4.9m

The forward has been a budget gem in Fantasy since his recent return to Luton Town’s starting XI.

Adebayo has started each of the Hatters’ last eight matches and has scored seven goals, with his total of 48 points ranking second among forwards in that spell.

Notably, he has been supplied with eight big chances in those encounters, at least double the total of any team-mate, underlining his importance to Luton's attack.

A favourable short-term schedule looks very encouraging for Adebayo’s prospects, with Luton entertaining Sheff Utd this weekend ahead of their Double Gameweek 25. 

At a cost of only £4.9m, Adebayo can then easily be benched in Blank Gameweek 26 when the Hatters are without a fixture.

Luton have also been handed a Double Gameweek 28, visiting Crystal Palace and then AFC Bournemouth.

Matheus Cunha (Wolves) £5.7m

His hat-trick against Chelsea at the weekend has made the Wolverhampton Wanderers star a top target in Fantasy.

Cunha is second only to Erling Haaland (£14.2m) for transfers in among forwards, brought in by 90,000+ managers for his Gameweek 24 home meeting with Brentford.

The Brazilian’s haul at Stamford Bridge extended his excellent run of form from Gameweek 12 onwards.

Indeed, Cunha is the joint top-scoring player in Fantasy during that period, earning 73 points thanks to seven goals and five assists.

Wolves also have very favourable home encounters with Sheff Utd and Fulham in the next five Gameweeks, affording Cunha the chance to keep delivering standout value in the sub-£6.0m bracket. 

Cunha's hat-trick v Chelsea
Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton) £6.4m

Brighton & Hove Albion’s winger is now available for selection following Japan’s exit from the Asian Cup.

Mitoma’s return to domestic duties coincides with a very kind schedule that can reward the Seagulls’ key attackers.

According to the Fixture Difficulty Ratings (FDR), each of their four matches from Gameweek 25 onwards score only two.

The underlying numbers show why Mitoma can make an immediate impact against Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.

Prior to his departure for international duty, he ranked among Brighton’s top two players for shots, shots in the box and key passes.
