The Scout is tipping five players for big success in Gameweek 27 of 2024/25 Fantasy Premier League ahead of Tuesday's 18:00 GMT deadline.

Matheus Cunha (Wolves) £6.9m 

The Wolverhampton Wanderers star is the most-bought player in the Gameweek after scoring for a fourth successive match in all competitions last weekend.

Cunha’s decisive goal in Wolves’ 1-0 win at AFC Bournemouth took his tally to 25 points across his last three outings, with the Brazilian also scoring against Aston Villa and Liverpool in that spell.

Wolves’ upcoming schedule gives Cunha the opportunity to secure his place in many managers’ teams in Fantasy.

According to the Fixture Difficulty Ratings (FDR), four of their next five matches score just two.

That run gets under way with back-to-back home matches against Fulham and Everton, followed by a trip to promoted Southampton in Blank Gameweek 29 (BGW29).

Jarrod Bowen (West Ham) £7.3m

The West Ham United star has stepped up his output in Fantasy under new head coach Graham Potter.

After returning from injury in Gameweek 24, Bowen has scored against both Chelsea and Arsenal, claiming 10-point hauls on both occasions.

The Hammers now host a promoted Leicester City side who have struggled on their travels, conceding a league-high 32 goals in away matches this season.

Bowen, meanwhile, has a reliable record in his three meetings with such opponents, producing two goals, an assist and 22 points.

Marc Cucurella (Chelsea) £5.1m

A very favourable upcoming schedule gives Chelsea the chance to recover from a run of three straight losses in all competitions.

The Blues host ALL THREE promoted clubs over the next six Gameweeks, which includes showdowns with both Southampton and Leicester across the next two Gameweeks alone.

Enzo Maresca’s side have been victorious in all three of their matches against such opponents in 2024/25, with a 5-1 win over Saints in Gameweek 14 their biggest of the season.

Cucurella, meanwhile, has been far more reliable for attacking returns in 2024/25 when playing at Stamford Bridge.

Both his goals this season, and one of his two assists, have been recorded in home appearances.

Yoane Wissa (Brentford) £6.4m

The Brentford forward ended a four-match goalless streak by scoring in their 4-0 win at Leicester last Friday.

Wissa’s potential for more attacking returns in Fantasy is lifted by a favourable short-term schedule.

The Bees have back-to-back home matches against Everton and Aston Villa prior to their BGW29 trip to Bournemouth.

Wissa’s output this season suggests he can immediately reward investors in those upcoming matches at the Gtech Community Stadium.

The DR Congo international has scored eight of his 11 goals this season in such contests, averaging 6.4 points per match.

Son Heung-min (Spurs) £9.7m

Tottenham Hotspur’s talisman produced his ninth and 10th assists of 2024/25 Fantasy in their 4-1 win over Ipswich Town last weekend.

That matches his tally from last season and is only three fewer than his best campaign in 2019/20 Fantasy.

While a Gameweek 27 home meeting with Manchester City is far from straightforward, Spurs won the reverse fixture 4-0 earlier this season.

Ange Postecoglou’s side follow that up with a home fixture against Bournemouth and then visit Fulham in BGW29. 

Owned by a mere four per cent of Fantasy managers, Son’s influence on Spurs makes him a great short-term differential.
