The Scout is tipping five players to produce big points in Gameweek 17 of 2022/23 Fantasy Premier League.
Kevin De Bruyne (MCI) £12.6m
The Belgian offers a strong double-up option alongside Manchester City team-mate Erling Haaland (£12.2m) when the season resumes.
Despite being overshadowed by the Norwegian in the first 16 Gameweeks, De Bruyne was still among the most consistent players in Fantasy.
He blanked in just three of his 13 starts, scoring three goals and assisting a further 10.
That helped him amass 90 points, just three points off the top of the midfielder standings.
Man City’s upcoming schedule also adds to the appeal of investing heavily in their attack.

They have a Double Gameweek 23 and could also play twice in Gameweek 20, depending on FA Cup results.
The underlying numbers show De Bruyne has been in a class of his own when it comes to creating chances this season.
Big chances created
His 45 key passes is a league-high and almost twice the total of any team-mate, with Ilkay Gundogan (£7.3m) placing second for Man City on 23.
Furthermore, the Belgian’s total of 15 big chances created also ranks top in 2022/23 Fantasy and is only two fewer than his tally of 17 from the previous campaign.
De Bruyne reminded managers of his potential last weekend, scoring the opener in Man City's 2-0 win over Girona.
As a secure route into Pep Guardiola’s attack, bringing in De Bruyne alongside Haaland could prove a winning tactic over the next few Gameweeks.
