The Scout is tipping five players for big success in Gameweek 7 of 2024/25 Fantasy Premier League ahead of Saturday's 11:00 BST deadline.
Matheus Cunha (Wolves) £6.5m
The Wolverhampton Wanderers forward looks a strong all-round prospect away to Brentford this weekend.
Cunha has scored twice in his five starts this season, including a goal in his last away match against Aston Villa.
The Brazilian's underlying statistics showcase his major influence on his side’s attack.
Cunha’s 16 shots and 11 shots in the box are both team-leading totals and show his potential for goals. His nine key passes are also more than any other Wolves player and indicate he is the likeliest to supply an assist.
Brentford’s defensive numbers add further encouragement for Cunha’s prospects. They are without a clean sheet this season and have conceded 73 shots in the box, the second-most in the league.
Dominic Solanke (Spurs) £7.6m
Tottenham Hotspur’s summer signing boasts improved form ahead of his visit to Brighton & Hove Albion.
Solanke has scored both of his goals this season in his last two matches against Brentford and Manchester United.
The forward’s number of big chances – situations where the player is expected to score – is particularly impressive. Although Solanke has played in only four of the opening six Gameweeks, his eight big chances are TWICE the total of any team-mate.
Notably, Solanke converted 50 per cent of his big chances while at AFC Bournemouth last season, compared with only 25 per cent this time around.
If he can get his finishing skills back on a par with his record from the last campaign, Solanke could be a great option for managers’ forward lines for many Gameweeks to come.
Five of Spurs' next eight matches score only two in the Fixture Difficulty Ratings (FDR).

*1 = easiest possible fixture, 5 = hardest possible fixture
Leandro Trossard (Arsenal) £6.9m
The Belgian has profited from an advanced central role recently due to an injury to Arsenal playmaker Martin Odegaard (£8.2m).
Playing alongside Kai Havertz (£8.2m) against Leicester City last weekend, Trossard delivered his season-high haul of 12 points thanks to a goal and an assist in the 4-2 victory.
He continued that form by assisting Havertz’s opener in the Gunners’ 2-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday evening.
At a cost of just £6.9m in Fantasy, Trossard has the form and fixtures to offer managers a short-term option in midfield, with Arsenal hosting bottom side Southampton this weekend before visiting Bournemouth in Gameweek 8.
Marcos Senesi (AFC Bournemouth) £4.8m
The Bournemouth centre-back offers strong potential at both ends of the pitch against Leicester.
Senesi’s huge threat at corners and free-kicks helped him produce four goals and five assists last season.
Leicester, meanwhile, have struggled to defend such situations – indeed, they have conceded league-high totals of 25 headed shots and 37 shots from set-pieces this campaign.
The Foxes’ attacking numbers also look encouraging for Senesi’s chances of a clean sheet at the King Power Stadium.
Leicester have produced just 52 shots, also placing them bottom after the first six Gameweeks.
Tomas Soucek (West Ham) £5.0m
The West Ham United star remains very much an overlooked player in Fantasy ahead of his home match with Ipswich Town.
Despite scoring and earning 10 points against Brentford last time out, Soucek can be found in fewer than three per cent of squads.
Not only is Soucek's 13 shots in the box a team-leading total, it places him fifth among all midfielders in Fantasy.
Ipswich, meanwhile, have struggled in defence at the start of the season since their promotion. They have conceded 22 big chances, second only to the 25 of Leicester.
