The Scout is tipping five players for big success in Double Gameweek 33 (DGW33) of 2024/25 Fantasy Premier League ahead of Saturday's 13:30 BST deadline.
Kevin De Bruyne (Man City) £9.3m
Manchester City play twice in DGW33, visiting Everton before hosting Aston Villa, providing two opportunities for Fantasy managers to pick up points.

De Bruyne comes into the Double Gameweek fresh off a 12-point haul against Crystal Palace in Double Gameweek 32.
Significantly, the Belgian has started back-to-back Premier League games for the first time since Gameweek 22.
As shown in the table below, De Bruyne's underlying data against the Eagles showcased his all-round Fantasy potential for both goals and assists, delivering match-high tallies in four key categories.
De Bruyne's stats v Palace
| Stat | Total | Match rank |
| Chances created | 3 | 1st |
|---|---|---|
| Big chances created | 2 | 1st |
| Shots | 6 | 1st |
| Big chances | 2 | 1st |
Despite facing competition for minutes from the likes of Phil Foden (£9.2m) and Jack Grealish (£6.4m), it looks like it's De Bruyne's shirt to lose, with the former currently an injury doubt and the latter playing just 19 minutes across the last two Gameweeks.
Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal) £6.5m
Arsenal also play twice in DGW33, travelling to Ipswich Town before a home match against Crystal Palace.

With Mikel Arteta continuting to manage the minutes of Bukayo Saka (£10.5m) following the winger's return from a lengthy injury, Martinelli provides a cheaper and differential route into the Gunners' attack.
Only the injured Kai Havertz (£7.7m) has scored more goals among Arsenal players in the Premier League this season than Martinelli, while since the Brazilian's return from injury in Gameweek 28, his tally of 11 shots in the box is the highest among his team-mates.
The first of Martinelli's DGW33 opponents, Ipswich Town, have struggled at home this season.
The Tractor Boys have won just once at Portman Road and have conceded the second-most shots on target in home matches, with 85.
It remains to be seen how much Arsenal's second opponents of the Double Gameweek, Crystal Palace, will rotate ahead of their FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa on Saturday 26 April.
Jarrod Bowen (West Ham) £7.5m
A home fixture against relegated Southampton makes the West Ham midfielder a great one-week option in Fantasy. Saints have allowed a staggering 143 big chances across the season, 31 more than any other team.
TV Info - Broadcasters
They also rank worst for shots on target conceded, with 217, and Expected Goals Against (xGA), with 75.51.
West Ham's talisman scored the only goal of the game in the reverse fixture, producing eight points. That goal is one of 16 attacking returns for Bowen across 28 starts this season.
The England international leads his team-mates for big chances (10), shots (72) and Expected Goal Involvement (xGI), with 12.58, across the season, despite missing four matches through injury.
Furthermore, his tally of eight shots in the box over the last four Gameweeks is only bettered by two other midfielders.
Luis Diaz (Liverpool) £7.5m
Liverpool's Diaz scored the opener against West Ham in Gameweek 32, meaning he has delivered an attacking return in each of the Reds' last five matches.
During that run, the Colombian has produced two goals, three assists and eight bonus points. No player has picked up more bonus points in Fantasy since Gameweek 27.
Diaz has even outscored team-mate Mohamed Salah (£13.8m) since Gameweek 27, by 38 points to 32. Indeed, only two players across the whole game have picked up more points.
TV Info - Broadcasters
A trip to Leicester City provides the perfect opportunity for Diaz to continue his strong from.
The Foxes have won just one of their last 18 matches, and encouragingly for Liverpool's attackers, are without a clean sheet since Gameweek 7.
Since Ruud van Nistelrooy took charge in Gameweek 14, only Southampton have a higher xGA than Leicester's 38.11.
Rayan Ait-Nouri (Wolves) £4.8m
Wolverhampton Wanderers made it four consecutive wins by beating Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, continuing their fine Premier League form.
Playing at left wing-back, Ait-Nouri was at the forefront of that victory; registering a goal, an assist and three bonus points. No defender has picked up more attacking returns in Fantasy this season than the Algerian’s total of 10.
Encouragingly at the other end of the pitch, since Vitor Pereira took charge in Gameweek 17, only five teams have kept more clean sheets than the five of Wolves.
Gameweek 33 opponents Manchester United rank in the bottom half for both xG, with 42.59, and big chances (72) across the season. The Red Devils have failed to score in two of their last three matches, offering hope of another shutout for Ait-Nouri and Wolves.
