The Scout is tipping five players for big success in Gameweek 4 of 2024/25 Fantasy Premier League ahead of Saturday's 11:00 BST deadline.
Kevin De Bruyne (Man City) £9.6m
A visit from Brentford lifts the Manchester City playmaker’s chances of another big haul at the Etihad Stadium this weekend.
TV Info - Broadcasters
De Bruyne claimed a 12-point haul in his last home match, scoring once and supplying an assist in a 4-1 win over Ipswich Town.
The Belgian’s all-round prospects are further enhanced by the underlying numbers - indeed, his 12 shots and 11 key passes are both among the top five players in 2024/25.
Brentford, meanwhile, have conceded 51 shots and 20 shots on target - both those totals rank among the worst three sides in the opening three Gameweeks.

Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace) £6.9m
A home encounter with promoted Leicester City gives the Crystal Palace talisman the chance to build on his recent form.
TV Info - Broadcasters
Eze bounced back from back-to-back blanks in the first two Gameweeks with a goal and 10-point haul against Chelsea last time out.
The underlying statistics highlight his huge goal threat against the Foxes. Eze has taken 15 shots in the opening three Gameweeks, placing him second among all players in Fantasy.
Leicester, meanwhile, have yet to keep a clean sheet since returning to the Premier League. They have conceded 33 shots in the box, a total better than only two other sides.
Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea) £7.6m
The Chelsea’s forward has stepped up his output after blanking at home to Man City in Gameweek 1.
TV Info - Broadcasters
Jackson has scored in each of his subsequent two outings against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Palace, also supplying an assist against the former in a 6-2 win at Molineux.
The Senegalese has been supplied with four big chances in 2024/25, a total bettered only by Erling Haaland (£15.2m) and Mohamed Salah (£12.7m), who have seven and five respectively.
That underlines Jackson's prospects ahead of Chelsea’s visit to AFC Bournemouth this weekend. Similarly to Leicester, the Cherries are without a clean sheet and have conceded 33 shots in the box in their first three fixtures of the new campaign.

Yankuba Minteh (Brighton) £5.5m
The Brighton & Hove Albion star has the form and fixtures to thrive as a low-owned budget pick in the next two Gameweeks.
TV Info - Broadcasters
Minteh has two assists to his name already ahead of a pair of home matches against Ipswich Town and Nottingham Forest.
Yet he is currently owned by just over one per cent of managers, compared with the 28 per cent of his team-mate Joao Pedro (£5.7m).
Minteh has been Brighton’s most creative player under Fabian Hurzeler - boosted by a share of free-kicks and corners, he has made five key passes.
The Gambian has also had four shots in the box - placing him third for the Seagulls and, once again, ahead of the three of the popular Joao Pedro.
Ibrahima Konate (Liverpool) £5.0m
At a cost of only £5.0m, the Frenchman offers the cheapest route into a Liverpool defence that have kept a clean sheet in all three of their matches under Arne Slot.
TV Info - Broadcasters
Despite his low cost, Konate has largely been overlooked by managers in Fantasy and sits in just four per cent of squads ahead of their home match with Nott'm Forest.
This is partly due to the fact that he has only picked up points for two of the Reds’ shutouts as he replaced Jarell Quansah (£4.3m) after the break at Ipswich in Gameweek 1.
Despite playing less minutes than the rest of the Liverpool defence, Konate leads the way among their defenders for goal threat.
Indeed, his total of three shots in the box is just one fewer than the combined four of Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.0m), Andrew Robertson and Virgil van Dijk (both £6.0m).
