The Scout on why West Ham star’s home form can prove decisive against Southampton and Newcastle

The Scout is tipping five players to produce big points in Double Gameweek 29 of 2022/23 Fantasy Premier League.

Jarrod Bowen (WHU) £8.0m

A pair of home matches against Southampton and Newcastle United raises the appeal of West Ham United’s talisman in Fantasy.

Bowen's home form has been much better than his away form this season, with all four of his goals and three of his five assists coming at London Stadium.

Indeed, his total of 65 points at home is at least 18 points more than any other outfield player for the Hammers in 2022/23 Fantasy.

The underlying numbers highlight his huge all-round influence on West Ham’s attack at home this season.

Bowen’s 37 shots and 23 chances created are both team-leading totals in those encounters.

Encouragingly, he also fares well when assessed against other midfielders at home in Fantasy.

Bowen’s 65 points rank 10th in his position, just behind the 70 points of Bruno Fernandes (£9.6m) and ahead of the 63 of Martin Odegaard (£6.9m).

Meanwhile, his 29 shots in the box have been bettered by only three other midfielders.

West Ham’s extra matches over the upcoming period give Bowen the chance to get more attacking returns.

They also play twice in Double Gameweek 34, facing Crystal Palace and Manchester City, and have a favourable trip to AFC Bournemouth in Blank Gameweek 32.

Starting with his home encounters with Saints and Newcastle, Bowen has the goal threat to profit from the Hammers’ next few Gameweeks.
