The Scout is tipping five players for big success in Gameweek 23 of 2024/25 Fantasy Premier League, ahead of Saturday's 13:30 GMT deadline.
Dominik Szoboszlai (Liverpool) £6.3m
The Hungarian could be an interesting differential ahead of Liverpool's Double Gameweek 24.
Liverpool's next three Gameweeks
| GW | Opponent | FDR |
| 23 | Ipswich (H) | 2 |
|---|---|---|
| 24 | Bournemouth (A), Everton (A) |
3, 3 |
| 25 | Wolves (H) | 2 |
He has had an eye-catching 24 shots in his last six Premier League starts, a total that only Mohamed Salah (£13.7m) can better among Liverpool players.
Szoboszlai has also created an impressive 15 chances for his team-mates in that time.
In terms of actual FPL returns, two goals and three assists have been registered in those six most recent starts.
With Curtis Jones (£5.3m) - a rival for his position - now a potential injury concern, Szoboszlai's game-time prospects look better, too.
An home fixture this weekend against Ipswich Town, who conceded six goals last Sunday, means moving for Szoboszlai a week before Liverpool's Double Gameweek could be a wise idea.
Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle) £6.1m
Eddie Howe's decision to move Guimaraes into a more attacking midfield role has made the Brazilian more of a viable FPL option.
Sandro Tonali (£5.5m) has taken over Guimaraes's former deep-lying position for Newcastle United since Gameweek 16.
Guimaraes has been unleashed as a more offensive midfielder and has subsequently delivered two goals and three assists and averaged 5.9 points per match over the last seven Gameweeks.
He ranks among the top five midfielders for chances created and big chances created in that period, with 19 and six respectively.
With bottom-of-the-table Southampton up next, Guimaraes should have every opportunity to continue that strong form.
Dejan Kulusevski (Spurs) £6.4m
Tottenham Hotspur's struggles shouldn't be a deterrent to picking Kulusevski in FPL.
With six goals and four assists to his name, the Swede is averaging an attacking return every other start this season.
His assist potential really stands out. In the last four Gameweeks, no Premier League player can better Kulusevski's total of 17 chances created.
Spurs' next five opponents are all in the bottom half for Expected Goals Conceded (xGC), including Manchester City.
Spurs' next five fixtures
| Gameweek | Opponent | FDR |
|---|---|---|
| 23 | Leicester (H) | 2 |
| 24 | Brentford (A) | 4 |
| 25 | Man Utd (H) | 3 |
| 26 | Ipswich (A) | 2 |
| 27 | Man City (H) | 4 |
First up is Leicester City, who have shipped at least two goals in each of the last eight Gameweeks.
Kai Havertz (Arsenal) £7.8m
Arsenal have scored more set-piece goals than any other team this season, with 10.
Coincidentally, their Gameweek 23 opponents Wolverhampton Wanderers have conceded on more occasions from corners and free-kicks than any other side, with 14.
Havertz is the leading forward for headed attempts from set-pieces, with 12, so he is among the Arsenal players who could prosper against Wolves.
The German has three goals in his last four starts and is less of a rotation risk now that Gabriel Jesus (£6.7m) is injured.
He has already scored against Wolves, Leicester and West Ham United in 2024/25, all teams he faces in the next four Gameweeks.
Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa) £4.4m
Aston Villa's next three matches all score just two in the Fixture Difficulty Ratings (FDR).
Mings - who doesn't have the rotation risk that left-back Lucas Digne (£4.6m) may have - could be a strong option for this upcoming run.
Villa's next three fixtures
| Gameweek | Opponent | FDR |
| 23 | West Ham (H) | 2 |
|---|---|---|
| 24 | Wolves (A) | 2 |
| 25 | Ipswich (H) | 2 |
Historically, Mings has been a goal threat. He delivered at least four attacking returns in each of his four seasons prior to an injury-ravaged 2023/24.
The centre-back will get a chance to profit from Wolves' aforementioned set-piece woes in Gameweek 24.
Before then, he will face a West Ham side who have only managed 11 shots on goal across Graham Potter's first two Gameweeks in charge, the lowest number in the league.
