The Scout is selecting four overlooked players who could be set for a breakout Gameweek 4 in Fantasy Premier League.

Daniel James (MUN) £6.0m

Manchester United's joint-top scorer James has already netted against Chelsea and Crystal Palace in the opening three Gameweeks.

Yet the winger is owned by only 3.7 per cent of managers for his trip to Southampton.

James has enjoyed a fine start to 2019/20 since joining from Swansea City this summer.

Apart from his two goals, the 21-year-old has recorded six shots inside the penalty area, more than any team-mate.

Anthony Martial (£7.7m) and Marcus Rashford (£8.7m) have fired five and three shots inside the box respectively for the Red Devils.

Yet the duo are far more popular picks in FPL. Martial is owned by 16.8 per cent of managers while Rashford sits in 25.3 per cent of squads.

Southampton's defensive struggles offer more encouragement for James' prospects.

Ralph Hasenhuttl's men have conceded five goals; only four other sides have let in more.

That points to another successful Gameweek for James in Saturday's lunchtime match at St Mary's Stadium.
