The Scout is tipping five players to produce big points in Gameweek 9 of 2022/23 Fantasy Premier League.
Ivan Toney (BRE) £7.3m
The Brentford talisman is the third top-scoring player in Fantasy, his 47 points bettered only by Erling Haaland (£12.0m) and Harry Kane (£11.4m), with 73 and 50 respectively.
Toney’s all-round style of play is a major factor in his output.
He has scored five goals and also supplied two assists in his seven outings, collecting a further eight bonus points.

The underlying numbers further show Toney’s huge influence on Brentford’s attack.
His 17 shots, 13 shots in the box and 11 chances created are all team-leading totals.
Toney also compares favourably with other players in his position in Fantasy.
Indeed, his seven big chances place joint-third among forwards, while his four big chances created rank joint-top.
Starting with their visit to AFC Bournemouth this weekend, Brentford are now set to embark on a kind run of opponents that allows Toney to maintain his early-season momentum.
According to the Fixture Difficulty Ratings (FDR), each of their next seven matches score no more than three.
Brentford's next eight Gameweeks
| GW | Opp. | FDR | GW | Opp. | FDR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 | BOU (A) | 2 | 13 | AVL (A) | 2 |
| 10 | NEW (A) | 3 | 14 | WOL (H) | 2 |
| 11 | BHA (H) | 3 | 15 | NFO (A) | 2 |
| 12 | CHE (H) | 3 | 16 | MCI (A) | 5 |
Toney’s set-piece threat could pose major problems for AFC Bournemouth on Saturday.
He has produced 10 shots from such situations this season, more than any team-mate.

The Cherries, meanwhile, have conceded 37 shots at set-pieces, the joint-worst record in the league.
That can help Toney deliver for his 21 per cent ownership once again this weekend.
