The Scout is tipping four players for big success in Gameweek 20 of 2025/26 Fantasy Premier League ahead of Saturday's 11:00 GMT deadline, to help managers gain an edge over their mini-league rivals.
Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa) £7.4m
Four goals over the last four Gameweeks have taken the Aston Villa star to sixth place among midfielders in Fantasy on 93 points.
Although Rogers has blanked in his two most recent outings, at Chelsea and Arsenal, his potential for huge hauls was very much in evidence in Villa’s other two matches over the last four Gameweeks.
Indeed, he scored twice to collect 15 points against both West Ham United and Manchester United in Gameweeks 16-17.
A home match against Nottingham Forest suggests Rogers can get back to his best and reward his 24 per cent ownership.
Forest have lost four of their last five Premier League contests, conceding at least twice in three of those defeats.
Rogers, meanwhile, has had 16 shots across the last four Gameweeks, at least six more than any other Villa player.
Nick Woltemade (Newcastle) £7.4m
Having played just 10 minutes as a substitute in Newcastle United's 3-1 win at Burnley, Woltemade is expected to return to their starting line-up at home to Crystal Palace.
The German has proven a reliable source of attacking returns at St James' Park, with five goals, an assist and only three blanks across his eight appearances.
That includes two goals and his season-high haul of 13 points against Chelsea in his previous home outing.
A delve into the underlying data also highlights Woltemade's major goal threat.
In home matches, his 17 shots in the box are eight more than any team-mate. He's had nine big chances - situations where a player is expected to score - which again place him top for Newcastle.
Palace, meanwhile, have struggled defensively of late, with just a single clean sheet across their last seven outings. They have conceded nine goals over the last four Gameweeks, second only to the 11 of AFC Bournemouth.
Georginio Rutter (Brighton) £5.6m
A visit from Burnley gives the Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder the chance to extend his fine home form.
After being fielded as a second-half substitute at West Ham in midweek, Georginio looks set to return to the Seagulls’ starting line-up on Saturday afternoon.
The Frenchman has been far more productive when playing at home this season.
Indeed, four of his five attacking returns this season have come in home matches, with assists against Fulham, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle, in addition to a goal against West Ham.
Burnley, meanwhile, have a poor defensive record on the road.
They have yet to keep a clean sheet in away matches, conceding at least twice in all but one of those nine contests.
James Tarkowski (Everton) £5.6m
The Everton centre-back has the form and fixtures to reward managers over the first month of 2026.
Tarkowski is the second top-scoring defender in Fantasy over the last six Gameweeks, amassing 40 points thanks to four clean sheets and 10 defensive contribution points.
That recent output has helped Tarkowski climb above his team-mate Michael Keane (£4.8m) into fifth place in the defender standings for the season after the latter missed out against Forest in midweek with a knock.
David Moyes’ side have notably improved their defensive output of late, having previously only managed four clean sheets across the first 13 Gameweeks, by contrast.
And Everton are set to embark on a run of three home matches over the next four Gameweeks which gives Tarkowski the opportunity to continue his recent output.
The Toffees entertain Brentford, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leeds United in that run, as well as visiting Aston Villa.
