The Scout is tipping five players for big success in Gameweek 11 of 2024/25 Fantasy Premier League ahead of Saturday's 13:30 GMT deadline.

Dominic Solanke (Spurs) £7.7m

Although it may seem somewhat reactive to be tipping the Tottenham Hotspur forward after his season-high haul of 16 points last weekend, a delve into the data suggests Solanke still has room for improvement over the course of the campaign.

In his final season for AFC Bournemouth in 2023/24, he had 28 big chances – situations in which the player is expected to score. He converted 14 of them – or 50 per cent – on his way to scoring 19 goals. 

This season, Solanke has had 10 big chances and scored four of them, which suggests he can improve upon this 40 per cent return if he gets back to his form of 2023/24.

Crucially, Spurs are also ensuring their frontman is being supplied with big chances at a far quicker rate than last season. Solanke is averaging a big chance every 70.7 minutes for Ange Postecoglou’s side, an improvement on his average of 115.1 minutes at Bournemouth last season. 

A home encounter with Ipswich Town this weekend gives Solanke the chance to immediately get more goals and, although Spurs then visit Manchester City in Gameweek 12, matches against Fulham and Bournemouth in the following Gameweeks lift the short-term appeal of their attackers.

Alejandro Garnacho (Man Utd) £6.3m

The Manchester United winger will be hoping history repeats itself when he entertains Leicester City this weekend.

Garnacho produced a goal and an assist in the same fixture only just last week, in the Red Devils' 5-2 EFL Cup win over the Foxes.

Certainly, the Argentinian has the goal threat to punish his opponents again. Over the last four Gameweeks, Garnacho’s 18 shots and 13 shots in the box are both team-leading totals. 

Man Utd also face Ipswich and Everton in the next three Gameweeks, giving Garnacho the chance to make his mark under their new head coach Ruben Amorim.

Antonee Robinson (Fulham) £4.7m

Fulham’s left-back has the short-term schedule to continue his fine attacking form this season.

According to the Fixture Difficulty Ratings (FDR), three of the Cottagers’ next four matches – against Crystal Palace, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Brighton & Hove Albion – score only two.

Robinson visits the Eagles this weekend having supplied his third assist of the campaign against Brentford in the last Gameweek.

That’s already half of his total of six assists from 2023/24, while the same can be said for his bonus points – the US international has four of them already, compared with eight last season.

If Marco Silva’s side can profit from their schedule and improve upon their tally of just one clean sheet, Robinson can offer multiple routes to returns in the coming period.

Jarrod Bowen (West Ham United) £7.5m

The West Ham United star’s improving home form looks ominous for Everton this weekend.

Bowen has amassed 19 points across his last two encounters at the London Stadium, thanks to two goals and an assist. That includes strikes against both Ipswich and Man Utd. 

The underlying numbers show his major all-round influence on the Hammers’ attack in home matches.

Bowen’s 11 key passes are more than twice that of any team-mate, while his 12 shots and 10 shots in the box both place second. 

Everton’s struggles in defence, meanwhile, further add to the West Ham midfielder’s appeal. They have just a single clean sheet in five away matches, conceding nine goals.

Josko Gvardiol (Man City) £6.3m

Three goals in his last five matches have taken the Man City star to 49 points this season, placing him second in the defender standings.

Gvardiol’s improved output has also coincided with Rodri's (£6.3m) injury, with manager Pep Guardiola affording the defender greater licence to be involved in his side’s attacks.

Although he’s yet to get an assist, Gvardiol’s creativity has improved markedly in the five matches without Rodri. He has made eight key passes in the last five Gameweeks, compared with only two in the first five.

Despite Man City’s poor run of two clean sheets in the first 10 Gameweeks, Gvardiol sits just a single point off Virgil van Dijk (£6.2m) at the top of the defender standings.

If Guardiola’s side can rediscover their defensive form, Gvardiol could become the most fixture-proof option for managers’ defences over the remainder of the campaign.
