A home encounter with struggling Sheffield United looks hugely encouraging for Raphinha’s prospects in Gameweek 30 of Fantasy Premier League.
TV Info
The Blades travel to Leeds United on the back of a 5-0 defeat at Leicester City in their last Premier League match.
Indeed, they are the only side yet to keep a clean sheet away from home this season.
The underlying numbers highlight Raphinha’s potential for goals and assists.
Since making his first start of the season in Gameweek 9, his 55 shots and 51 chances created both put him among the top six players in Fantasy.
And only three midfielders have bettered his 22 shots on target.
Raphinha is joined by team-mates Stuart Dallas (£5.1m) and Patrick Bamford (£6.7m) in a Scout Selection that lines up in a 3-4-3 formation.
Harry Kane (£11.6m) is handed the armband, with Leeds’ Brazilian named as vice-captain.
Emiliano Martinez (AVL) £5.4m
A home meeting with Fulham can help the Aston Villa No 1 extend his lead as the top-scoring goalkeeper in Fantasy. Martinez’s visitors have scored just two goals in their last five matches.
Cesar Azpilicueta (CHE) £5.8m
The Chelsea defender offers multiple routes to returns against West Bromwich Albion. Azpilicueta has produced one goal, eight clean sheets and nine bonus points in 10 appearances under Thomas Tuchel.
Stuart Dallas (LEE) £5.1m
A recent move into midfield has boosted the 29-year-old’s attacking threat. Dallas has five goals and three assists this season and has recorded 11 shots on target, more than any other defender in Fantasy.
Luke Shaw (MUN) £5.2m
Manchester United’s left-back welcomes Brighton & Hove Albion in outstanding form. Shaw has totalled 35 points in his last four appearances, thanks to one goal, four clean sheets and six bonus points.
Bruno Fernandes (MUN) £11.5m
At home, the Portuguese’s totals of 48 shots and 49 chances created are both more than any player in Fantasy. Fernandes’s 11 double-figure hauls underline his appeal as a major contender for the armband.
Kevin De Bruyne (MCI) £11.9m
Manchester City’s playmaker looks a strong all-round prospect against Leicester. De Bruyne’s 13 shots and 12 chances created in his side’s last four matches are both more than any team-mate.
Jesse Lingard (WHU) £6.2m
Five goals and three assists in seven appearances for West Ham United have made him the top target for managers in Gameweek 30. Lingard has earned over 170,000 transfers in for the trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Raphinha (LEE) £5.7m
The Leeds winger has scored in each of his last two matches against opponents in the bottom half of the Premier League table.
Harry Kane (TOT) £11.6m
The Tottenham Hotspur striker visits a Newcastle United side who have managed just a single clean sheet at home all season. Kane has produced 55 shots away from home, more than any other player in 2020/21 Fantasy.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin (EVE) £7.6m
His aerial threat could prove decisive as Everton welcome Crystal Palace to Goodison Park. Calvert-Lewin has scored five of his 14 goals from set-pieces, while the Eagles have conceded 130 shots from such situations, more than any other side.
Patrick Bamford (LEE) £6.7m
The striker is expected to recover from a knock for the encounter with Sheff Utd. At home, Bamford’s 19 shots on target and 12 big chances are both more than double any other Leeds player.
