The Scout is tipping five players for big success in Double Gameweek 25 (DGW25) of 2024/25 Fantasy Premier League, ahead of Friday's 18:30 GMT deadline.
Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa) £5.6m
A DGW25 for Aston Villa looks set to further Fantasy interest in Rogers.
Already the most-owned Villa player in FPL, sitting in just under 25 per cent of squads, he's also the fourth most-bought player of Gameweek 25. Over 147,000 managers have swooped for the budget midfielder ahead of home matches against Ipswich Town and Liverpool.
Crucially, all three of Rogers' double-digit hauls have come at Villa Park this season.
He also has fond memories of facing Saturday's opponents Ipswich, who he scored against back in Gameweek 6.
Rogers should avoid any rotation, having started all 23 of the Premier League matches he has been available for in 2024/25. His absence in Gameweek 20 was due to suspension.
Alisson (Liverpool) £5.5m
Another Double Gameweek beckons for Liverpool, who entertain Wolverhampton Wanderers before travelling to Villa.
The visit of Wolves is the first of five Premier League matches that the league leaders have to negotiate in the space of 15 days.
Arne Slot may decide to rotate his squad over the coming fortnight, then. Kostas Tsimikas (£4.6m) and Andrew Robertson (£5.9m) may very well share minutes at left-back, while there are question marks over the fitness of Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.4m) as he recovers from a muscle injury.
Alisson is, however, a safe route into the division's best defence. No team can better Liverpool's totals of 21 goals conceded and 10 clean sheets.
The Brazilian is averaging 4.5 points per match in 2024/25 Fantasy. Alexander-Arnold, with 4.9, is the only regular member of Slot's backline who can top that.
Alisson is also a good bet to receive bonus points if the Reds add to their clean-sheet tally: he's registered bonus in five of the seven matches in which he's kept a shutout.
Jarrod Bowen (West Ham) £7.3m
Gameweek 24 saw the fit-again Bowen return to a West Ham United squad for the first time in 2025.
Used in a striker's role by Hammers head coach Graham Potter for the trip to Chelsea, Bowen was soon back on the scoresheet, recording his 12th attacking return in just 20 starts.
The England international's points-per-match average of 5.0 ranks him an impressive joint-seventh among FPL midfielders this season.
Bowen's next two home matches, against Brentford and Leicester City in Gameweeks 25 and 27, should give him the chance to further boost that average. Those two clubs have conceded a combined 95 goals in 2024/25, registering just four clean sheets between them across 48 matches.
Dango Ouattara (AFC Bournemouth) £5.1m
Bournemouth begin a superb run of fixtures with a trip to bottom side Southampton in Gameweek 25.
All of the Cherries' next 10 matches, in fact, score three or less in the Fixture Difficulty Ratings (FDR).
Bournemouth's next 10 fixtures
| GW | Opp. | FDR | GW | Opp. | FDR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25 | Southampton (A) | 2 | 30 | Ipswich (H) | 2 |
| 26 | Wolves (H) | 2 | 31 | West Ham (A) | 2 |
| 27 | Brighton (A) | 3 | 32 | Fulham (H) | 3 |
| 28 | Spurs (A) | 3 | 33 | Crystal Palace (A) | 3 |
| 29 | Brentford (H) | 2 | 34 | Man Utd (H) | 3 |
*1 = easiest possible fixture, 5 = hardest possible fixture
Ouattara, one of several appealing Bournemouth players in FPL, has spent the last four Gameweeks playing as a centre-forward. Strikers Evanilson (£5.6m) and Enes Unal (£5.4m) are currently sidelined, with no hint of an imminent return.
The Cherries didn't add to their forward options in the January transfer window, so Ouattara's "out of position" appearances look set to continue.
In those four matches he's played as Bournemouth's centre-forward, Ouattara's five big chances and total of 1.42 Non-Penalty Expected Goals (NPxG) are the best in Andoni Iraola's squad.
Ethan Nwaneri (Arsenal) £4.5m
A succession of injuries suffered by Arsenal attacking players could present good news for Nwaneri's prospects in FPL.
Gabriel Jesus (£6.6m), Bukayo Saka (£10.2m), Gabriel Martinelli (£6.7m) and Kai Havertz (£7.8m) are all currently flagged as injured or doubts in FPL at present.
That should increase Nwaneri's game-time over the coming weeks, with fit alternatives in short supply.
The £4.5m FPL midfielder has showcased his talent already this season, scoring on three occasions in less than five hours of Premier League football.
As a result, his minutes-per-goal average of 93.7 is superior to even that of Mohamed Salah (£13.7m). The Liverpool star has found the net every 96.7 minutes in 2024/25.
Two of the five sides who have conceded the most goals this season, Leicester and West Ham, are up next for the Gunners.
