The Scout highlights players for Fantasy Premier League managers to target with their unlimited transfers before the Gameweek 30+ deadline.

Raul Jimenez (WOL) £8.1m

Jimenez's total of 147 points ranks third among FPL forwards after the opening 29 Gameweeks.

The Wolverhampton Wanderers striker has already matched his tally of 13 goals from last season, while also supplying six assists.

Jimenez has taken 99 shots, more than any other player in Fantasy this season.

Meanwhile, his 78 shots in the penalty area and 34 efforts on target both rank second overall.

The Mexican has also impressed with the number of chances he has created. With 42 key passes, he has the highest total among forwards in FPL.

Jimenez and Adama Traore's goal combinations

Jimenez’s prospects for more returns are boosted by a very favourable upcoming schedule.

According to the Fixture Difficulty Ratings (FDR), his next three matches against West Ham United, AFC Bournemouth and Aston Villa score just two.

Wolves' favourable fixtures 
GW Opp FDR GW Opp FDR
30+ WHU (A) 2 34+ SHU (A) 3
31+ BOU (H) 2 35+ EVE (H) 2
32+ AVL (A) 2 36+ BUR (A) 3
33+ ARS (H) 3 37+ CRY (H)

Only one of his remaining nine fixtures scores more than three in the FDR.

Jimenez can take advantage of such a run-in and deliver more goals and assists for his 32.3 per cent ownership in FPL.
