With the second Fantasy Premier League Wildcard available, The Scout reviews the top targets to consider for the chip.
Paul Pogba (MUN) £8.4m
The Manchester United midfielder has soared in popularity in FPL after his displays under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Handed the freedom to raid forward, Pogba has delivered four goals and four assists in his four matches since the Norwegian was made caretaker manager.
That has persuaded more than 1.2million Fantasy managers to bring Pogba into their squads over the last four Gameweeks.
The Frenchman’s output has risen significantly when compared with his showings under the previous manager Jose Mourinho.
He scored just three goals and three assists in 14 appearances with the Portuguese in charge this season.
The underlying statistics also highlight Pogba's recent improvement.
His totals of 16 shots and 10 shots on target over the last four Gameweeks are both more than any other midfielder.
United’s upcoming schedule further strengthens Pogba’s potential for more big hauls.
After their Gameweek 22 trip to Tottenham Hotspur, five of United's next seven opponents score just two in the Fixture Difficulty Rankings (FDR).
Man Utd GW22-29
| GW | Opp | FDR | GW | Opp | FDR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 22 | TOT (A) | 5 | 26 | FUL (A) | 2 |
| 23 | BHA (H) | 2 | 27 | LIV (H) | 4 |
| 24 | BUR (H) | 2 | 28 | CRY (A) | 2 |
| 25 | LEI (A) | 3 | 29 | SOU (H) | 2 |
And with Solskjaer intent on an attacking United team, Pogba has the platform to continue his renaissance in FPL.
