Manchester City’s Belgian has scored in each of his last three outings at the Etihad Stadium, totalling 34 points thanks to four goals and six bonus points.

The underlying numbers further highlight De Bruyne's all-round prospects.

His 17 shots and 19 chances created both rank among the top three players in Fantasy in the last six Gameweeks.

De Bruyne's explosive points potential earns him the armband in the Scout Selection for Gameweek 24, with Son Heung-min (£10.6m) named as vice-captain.

David De Gea (MUN) £5.2m

Manchester Utd's No 1 has averaged five points per match under Ralf Rangnick. De Gea is at home to a Burnley side who have scored just twice in their last six matches.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (LIV) £8.5m

Liverpool's right-back boasts strong home form for the visit of Leicester City. Alexander-Arnold has double-figure hauls in each of his last two at Anfield, thanks to one goal, an assist, a clean sheet and four bonus points.

Joao Cancelo (MCI) £7.1m

The full-back's total of six double-figure scores is more than any other Man City player in 2021/22 Fantasy. Cancelo's 46 shots and 15 shots on target both rank top among defenders this term.

Aaron Cresswell (WHU) £5.3m

West Ham United's left-back offers multiple routes to returns against Watford. Cresswell has 25 points in his last four home appearances, combining two assists with two clean sheets and five bonus points.

Kevin De Bruyne (MCI) £12.2m

De Bruyne has averaged 9.2 points per start at home this term.

Son Heung-min (TOT) £10.6m

All four of his double-figure hauls have come in home matches for Tottenham Hotspur this season. Son has attacking returns in each of his last six outings ahead of Southampton's visit, scoring four goals and assisting a further three to rack up 48 points.

Diogo Jota (LIV) £8.4m

At home, Jota's 33 shots in the penalty area and 12 big chances are both league-leading totals. He faces a Leicester side who have conceded 16 goals in their last four away fixtures in all competitions.

Jarrod Bowen (WHU) £6.9m

The West Ham midfielder has three goals and 23 points in his last two home matches. Bowen produced three assists and 14 points in his previous meeting with Watford in Gameweek 20.

Emiliano Buendia (AVL) £6.2m

The Argentinian playmaker welcomes Leeds United on the back of a goal and an assist in his last three outings. Buendia's 17 shots and 12 chances created both place among Aston Villa's top two players under Steven Gerrard.

Odsonne Edouard (CRY) £6.5m

He is the most-bought forward in Gameweek 24, earning more than 150,000 new owners for Crystal Palace's visit to Norwich City. Edouard has three goals, two assists and 30 points in his last four appearances.

Chris Wood (NEW) £6.7m

His aerial threat will be a major weapon for Newcastle United at home to Everton. The Toffees have conceded 28 shots from set-pieces in their last four matches, the second-worst record in the league.
