The Scout's essential FPL tips for Gameweek 18

The Scout is tipping five players to produce big points in Gameweek 18 of Fantasy Premier League.

Son Heung-min (TOT) £10.1m

The South Korean has been a major success in Tottenham Hotspur's recent home matches.

Two of Son's five goals in 2019/20 have been scored in the last three fixtures at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

He has earned 30 FPL points during this period, including back-to-back double-figure returns.

Home points streak

Son scored in a 1-1 draw with Sheffield United in Gameweek 12.

He followed up with impressive displays in his first two home appearances under head coach Jose Mourinho.

The 27-year-old supplied two assists against AFC Bournemouth to earn 10 points in Gameweek 14.

He then picked up a further 12 points in Gameweek 16 with a stunning solo goal and an assist against Burnley.

Interest in Son has soared ahead of Sunday's visit of Chelsea.

He is the third most-bought attacker in the Gameweek, recruited by over 103,000 FPL managers.

Owned by 22.3 per cent, he will look to take advantage of a Blues defence that has struggled defensively on the road.

Frank Lampard's side have yet to keep a clean sheet on their travels this season, conceding 17 goals in eight matches.

Goal and assist potential

The underlying statistics further strengthen Son's appeal.

Since the arrival of Mourinho his total of eight shots in the box is joint-top with Dele Alli (£8.7m).

And his 11 chances created are more than any team-mate during those five Gameweeks.

That all-round influence can help Son deliver another big haul for the hosts this weekend.
