With the second Fantasy Premier League Wildcard available, The Scout reviews the top targets to consider for the chip.
Marko Arnautovic (WHU) £6.9m
The West Ham United forward's recent return from injury has quickly caught the eye of FPL managers.
Arnautovic has been a big target after two goals against Brighton & Hove Albion in Gameweek 21 earned 13 FPL points.
Over 53,000 managers have bought the Austrian, who is expected to shrug off a minor back problem to host Arsenal on Saturday.
His impact against Brighton highlights Arnautovic's importance to the Hammers.
When selected, he has been involved in 62 per cent of their goals.
By comparison, his popular team-mate, Felipe Anderson (£7.4m), has been involved in 38 per cent.
Yet while Anderson is owned by 19.8 per cent of managers, Arnautovic sits in only 7.7 per cent of squads.
The Hammers have a kind upcoming schedule to raise the Austrian's potential in FPL.
Seven of his next 11 opponents score no more than three in the Fixture Difficulty Rankings (FDR).
West Ham GW22-32
GW | Opp | FDR | GW | Opp | FDR |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
22 | ARS (H) | 4 | 28 | MCI (A) | 5 |
23 | BOU (A) | 3 | 29 | NEW (H) | 2 |
24 | WOL (A) | 3 | 30 | CAR (A) | 2 |
25 | LIV (H) | 4 | 31 | HUD (H) | 2 |
26 | CRY (A) | 2 | 32 | EVE (H) | 3 |
27 | FUL (H) | 2 |
Arnautovic can be a crucial figure for FPL managers over that period, offering a big differential candidate in the mid-price bracket.
