The expected absence of Son Heung-min (£9.5m) for Tottenham Hotspur’s trip to Aston Villa further limits the pool of explosive options in Fantasy.
However, there are hopes that Villa playmaker Jack Grealish (£7.5m) and Leeds United forward Patrick Bamford (£6.7m) will recover from injury in time to feature.
The Scout has picked a 15-man squad for Gameweek 29 that features both Grealish and Bamford, along with captaincy contenders such as Harry Kane (£11.5m), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.5m) and Gareth Bale (£9.6m).
Costing under £100.0m, the squad also boasts strong options among the substitutes who can emerge from the bench to replace Grealish and Bamford should they miss out.
Robert Sanchez (BHA) £4.5m
The Brighton & Hove Albion No 1 has five clean sheets in his last 10 matches. Sanchez hosts a Newcastle United side who have scored just three goals in their last eight away matches.
Kieran Tierney (ARS) £5.2m
Arsenal’s left-back has combined one goal and three assists with three clean sheets in his last eight outings. Tierney has created a team-leading six chances over the last four Gameweeks.
Stuart Dallas (LEE) £5.1m
The versatile Leeds man could continue playing in midfield for their trip to Fulham. Listed as a defender in Fantasy, Dallas’s 11 shots on target rank top for his position.
Lewis Dunk (BHA) £5.0m
His aerial threat can prove decisive against Newcastle. Dunk’s 17 headed attempts is second among defenders, while the Magpies have conceded 74 such attempts, the third-most in the competition.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (ARS) £11.5m
Arsenal’s talisman has scored eight goals in his last six starts across all competitions. Aubameyang produced a goal and an assist at West Ham United last season.
Gareth Bale (TOT) £9.6m
The most-bought player in the Gameweek, he has earned over 240,000 new owners ahead of Friday’s 18:30 GMT deadline. Bale has produced hauls of 19 and 14 points in his last four matches.
Jack Grealish (AVL) £7.5m
Villa’s talisman faces a late fitness test ahead of his home encounter with Spurs. At home this season, Grealish’s 36 chances created is more than double the total of any team-mate.
Jesse Lingard (WHU) £6.1m
His average of 7.3 points per match is more than any other player in Fantasy this term. Lingard has blanked only once in six appearances for West Ham, producing four goals and two assists.
Raphinha (LEE) £5.6m
The Leeds winger looks a fine all-round prospect for his match at Fulham. Raphinha’s 17 chances created and 10 shots in the box both place among the top two players in Fantasy across the last four Gameweeks.
Harry Kane (TOT) £11.5m
Owned by over 43 per cent of managers, the Spurs frontman is expected to be the top captain pick for Gameweek 29. Kane has scored three goals and supplied two assists in his last four outings.
Patrick Bamford (LEE) £6.7m
The Leeds striker is expected to recover from a minor knock for Friday's trip to Fulham. Away from home, Bamford’s 51 shots and 41 shots in the box are both league-leading totals.
Substitutes
Martin Dubravka (NEW) £4.8m
The Newcastle goalkeeper has produced 15 points in three appearances since returning to their first XI.
Michail Antonio (WHU) £6.6m
West Ham’s frontman has scored against Spurs and Manchester City in the last four Gameweeks.
Joel Veltman (BHA) £4.4m
His eight shots and six shots in the box are both top among defenders in FPL over the last four Gameweeks.
Jamaal Lascelles (NEW) £4.2m
Newcastle’s centre-back has produced 24 points in his last three outings, scoring twice and claiming a clean sheet.
