The Scout is tipping five players for big success in Blank Gameweek 29 (BGW29) of 2024/25 Fantasy Premier League ahead of Saturday's 13:30 GMT deadline.
Rayan Ait-Nouri (Wolverhampton Wanderers) £4.8m
Wolves' forward-thinking wing-back has three goals and five assists already to his name this season.
Antonee Robinson (£5.0m) is the only defender in FPL who can better Ait-Nouri's total of eight attacking returns in 2024/25.
Ait-Nouri could be a savvy pick even if you're not using your Free Hit chip in BGW29.
None of Wolves' next six fixtures score more than three in the Fixture Difficulty Ratings (FDR), so the favourable run extends beyond the March international break.
Ait-Nouri could pick up a clean sheet or two during this run, as well.
Of the league's six lowest-scoring clubs, Wolves face five of them in Gameweeks 29-34.
Wolves' next six matches
| GW | Opp. | FDR |
|---|---|---|
| 29 | Southampton (A) | 2 |
| 30 | West Ham (H) | 2 |
| 31 | Ipswich (A) | 2 |
| 32 | Spurs (H) | 3 |
| 33 | Man Utd (A) | 3 |
| 34 | Leicester (H) | 2 |
Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United) £8.4m
Fernandes was owned by just 5.3 per cent of the top 100,000 FPL managers as of last Saturday's deadline.
But the Man Utd captain is set for a boost in popularity this week and is currently the most-bought player of BGW29.
Fernandes has delivered 29 points in the last three Gameweeks alone, scoring twice, assisting another two goals and claiming seven bonus points.

He has a particular fondness for facing promoted clubs, with 37.5 per cent of his attacking returns this season coming against the current bottom three.
And his biggest FPL points total of the campaign came against his BGW29 opponents in the reverse fixture.
Fernandes registered a huge 17-point haul in his last meeting with Leicester City, playing a part in all three United goals.
Anyone considering buying Fernandes should just be aware that his following three matches are all against top-six clubs: Nottingham Forest, Manchester City and Newcastle United.
Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest) £6.5m
Nottingham Forest's in-form midfielder has been going under the FPL radar for some time.
Over the last 14 Gameweeks, the only midfielder to better Gibbs-White's total of 13 attacking returns is Mohamed Salah (£13.8m).
Gibbs-White has averaged 6.4 points per match in that period, delivering an attacking return in 10 of those 14 starts.
His BGW29 opponents Ipswich Town have yet to register a clean sheet in 2025, conceding 25 goals in nine Premier League matches this calendar year.
Evanilson (Bournemouth) £5.6m
AFC Bournemouth's fit-again Brazilian returned to the starting XI with a bang in Gameweek 28.
His goal in a 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur took him to 10 attacking returns for the season, despite injury limiting him to 18 starts.
One of those attacking returns was a goal in his last meeting with his BGW29 opponents, Brentford.
Evanilson is now available at his cheapest FPL price this season, making him an ideal signing for those Fantasy managers looking for a cut-price forward.
Like Ait-Nouri, Evanilson's next six matches score no more than three in the FDR, making him a good medium-term option as well as an appealing pick for BGW29 in isolation.
Bournemouth's next six fixtures
| GW | Opp. | FDR |
|---|---|---|
| 29 | Brentford (H) | 2 |
| 30 | Ipswich (H) | 2 |
| 31 | West Ham (A) | 2 |
| 32 | Fulham (H) | 3 |
| 33 | Crystal Palace (A) | 3 |
| 34 | Man Utd (H) | 3 |
Raul Jimenez (Fulham) £5.5m
Jimenez's strike in last weekend's encounter with Brighton & Hove Albion took him to 10 Premier League goals for the season.
That tally is made all the more impressive considering he's only started 22 Premier League matches in 2024/25.
The Mexican's shot count has really caught the eye in recent weeks.
Jimenez's total of 18 attempts in the opposition box over his last six matches beats that of any other FPL forward.
While Rodrigo Muniz (£5.5m) could eat into Jimenez's minutes, Muniz has only started three Premier League fixtures since August - and all of them came in a busy three-Matchweek spell when Fulham head coach Marco Silva rotated his squad.
Fulham have had a week's rest heading into BGW29, while their opponents Spurs are in UEFA Europa League action less than 72 hours before they make the trip to west London.
