The Scout is tipping five players for big success in Gameweek 10 of 2024/25 Fantasy Premier League ahead of Saturday's 11:00 GMT deadline.
Jorgen Strand Larsen (Wolves) £5.5m
The Wolverhampton Wanderers forward has the form and fixtures to offer great value in Fantasy over the coming period.
Strand Larsen has three home matches in the next four Gameweeks, entertaining Crystal Palace, Southampton and AFC Bournemouth.

Notably, the Norwegian has been far more reliable when playing at Molineux in his debut campaign in Fantasy.
Indeed, he has blanked just ONCE in his four home appearances, scoring against both Chelsea and Manchester City and supplying an assist against Newcastle United.
Strand Larsen’s potential for goals is highlighted by his number of big chances - situations where the player is expected to score.
His five such opportunities are a team-leading total and more than twice that of his more expensive team-mate Matheus Cunha (£6.5m).
That suggests Strand Larsen can continue to make his mark in the budget forward bracket, starting with this weekend's match against Palace.
Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea) £7.9m
A visit to Manchester United gives the Chelsea forward the chance to extend his fine away form.

Jackson has delivered both his season-high hauls of 10 and 16 points on his travels, producing four goals and two assists across those four outings.
Indeed, his total of 33 points in away matches ranks second only to the 54 points of Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) among all players in Fantasy.

Man Utd’s poor defensive form at Old Trafford enhances Jackson’s prospects for Sunday’s encounter.
They are without a clean sheet in each of their last three home matches, conceding three goals to both Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur in that spell.
Leif Davis (Ipswich) £4.5m
The left-back’s delivery from free-kicks and corners could prove decisive as promoted pair Ipswich Town and Leicester City’s go head-to-head at Portman Road.

Leicester have conceded 36 headed shots and 55 shots from set-pieces this season, both more than any other side.
Davis dominates set-piece duties for the Tractor Boys and already has two assists to his name this season.
And his potential for more assists is further highlighted by the underlying statistics. Davis' 22 key passes and six big chances are not only team-leading totals, they are both more than any other defender in 2024/25 Fantasy.
Ben White (Arsenal) £6.3m
The Arsenal defender's recent spell on the sidelines has resulted in a drop of £0.2m in cost from the start of the season.
But White’s assist against Liverpool was a reminder of the talents that helped him top the defender standings on 182 points in the previous campaign.
Added to his trio of clean sheets, this means the versatile defender has blanked just twice in his six starts this season.
A visit to Newcastle United hands White, providing he recovers from a knock, the chance of another shutout in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off.

The Magpies have only scored four goals across their four home matches, including a blank against Brighton & Hove Albion in their last outing at St James’ Park.
Sitting in just four per cent of squads, White’s potential at both ends of the pitch could make him a great differential for managers looking to double-up on the Arsenal defence ahead of their very favourable schedule from Gameweek 12.
Bernardo Silva (Man City) £6.5m
The Portuguese star boasts strong all-round potential for Man City’s trip to Bournemouth.
TV Info - Broadcasters
Bernardo has produced team-leading totals of 22 key passes and five big chances created, collecting three assists across his nine appearances.
Although he has failed to score, his 15 shots in the box rank second only to the 39 of Erling Haaland (£15.4m) among team-mates.
Assessed against his start to the previous campaign, it’s fair to say that Bernardo’s underlying numbers are far superior this time around.
He had managed just ONE shot in the box over the first nine Gameweeks of 2023/24, while his 10 key passes and two big chances were more than HALF his current tallies.
