The Scout is tipping four low-owned players who could be set for a breakout Gameweek in Fantasy Premier League

Ollie Watkins (AVL) £7.3m

Now could be the time to put your faith in the forward who is owned by only 2.3 per cent of managers. 

Watkins has hit form and is set to be boosted by the arrival of Steven Gerrard as Aston Villa head coach.

He is expected to play as a lone forward against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday because Danny Ings (£7.7m) is still injured.

Watkins has stepped up his output after a slow start to the campaign. He has produced all of his attacking returns for the season in the last five Gameweeks.

He has scored twice and also supplied an assist in that period, blanking on only two occasions.

The underlying numbers also show Watkins was among the standout forwards for goal threat during that run.

His 11 shots in the box were joint-top in his position in Fantasy, bettered only by four other players.

Brighton, meanwhile, visit Villa Park in poor defensive form.

They have conceded nine goals across their last four matches in all competition.

The Seagulls will also be without first-choice goalkeeper Robert Sanchez (£4.6m), who serves a one-match suspension.

Watkins can profit from those concerns and help Gerrard claim a debut victory as head coach.
