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

Marcus Rashford (MUN) £8.8m

The Manchester United forward had dropped significantly in ownership after missing their last seven matches through injury.

Rashford is in only 10.5 per cent of squads and has slipped £0.4m in price since Gameweek 22.

But, his recent return to full training has caught the eye of FPL managers.

In demand

The 22-year-old is the second most-bought forward for Gameweek 30+, earning over 80,000 transfers in.

Despite his spell on the sidelines, Rashford is enjoying his best-ever season in FPL.

His 14 goals and five assists have helped him to 134 points, placing him fifth among FPL forwards.

The underlying statistics highlight Rashford's eye for goal.

His 34 shots on target are second only to the 43 of Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) over the opening 29 Gameweeks.

Meanwhile, only three other forwards have surpassed his total of 74 shots.

On the rise

Man Utd's favourable run-in only adds to the England international's potential in FPL.

Six of their final nine opponents, Brighton & Hove Albion, AFC Bournemouth, Aston Villa, Southampton, Crystal Palace and West Ham United, sit in the bottom half of the table.

FPL managers should get ahead of the rush and move for Rashford before his ownership and price start to soar.
