The Scout is tipping four low-owned players who could be set for a breakout Gameweek 18 in Fantasy Premier League ahead of Saturday’s 16:00 GMT deadline.

Raheem Sterling (MCI) £10.6m, 2.0 per cent owned 

A trip to Newcastle United gives Sterling the chance to extend his run of returns.

The winger is expected to be recalled to Manchester City’s starting XI at St James’ Park, after being rested against Leeds United in midweek.

Sterling is enjoying his most consistent form of the campaign, blanking in just one of his last five appearances and totalling 34 points in that spell thanks to three goals and an assist.

Man City 1-0 Wolves highlights

Newcastle, meanwhile, have struggled in defence all season, claiming just a single clean sheet and conceding seven goals in their last two matches against Leicester City and Liverpool.

Sadio Mane (LIV) £11.9m, 3.9%

The Liverpool winger was a huge success in his previous visit to Tottenham Hotspur last term.

Mane produced 15 points in a 3-1 win for the Merseysiders, scoring once and supplying two assists.

Despite scoring only twice on his travels this season, he has offered a major goal threat. Away from home, Mane's 20 shots inside the box and nine big chances both rank second among all players in Fantasy. 

Thiago Silva (CHE) £5.6m, 6.5%

The centre-back can maintain his excellent away record this weekend as Chelsea visit Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Silva has amassed 35 points over his four starts on the road, combining two goals with three clean sheets and four bonus points.

Wolves, meanwhile, have been poor in attack recently, scoring just a single goal in their last five matches.

Matty Cash (AVL) £5.0m, 4.3%

Following the postponement of Aston Villa v Burnley, unfortunately Cash will now no longer be playing in Gameweek 18.

The Aston Villa right-back goes into his home match against Burnley after contributing to a 2-0 win over Norwich City in midweek.

Cash can collect a second successive clean sheet as he is facing a Clarets side who have failed to score in their last three matches.

He also offers strong attacking potential, with his total of six shots in the box placing second for Villa since Steven Gerrard was appointed as head coach.
