The Scout is tipping five players for big success in Gameweek 28 of Fantasy Premier League ahead of Saturday's 11:00 GMT deadline.

Kai Havertz (Arsenal) £7.1m

Arsenal’s German entertains Brentford in his best ever form in Fantasy.

Havertz has produced a goal and an assist in each of the Gunners' last three matches against Burnley, Newcastle United and Sheffield United, collecting a double-figure haul in all of those encounters.

He amassed 43 points in the last four Gameweeks, second only to the 46 points of his team-mate Bukayo Saka (£9.2m) in Fantasy. Havertz’s four big chances rank joint-top with Saka among team-mates, while his nine key passes place third.

Brentford, meanwhile, arrive at Emirates Stadium in poor defensive form. They have allowed 18 big chances in the last four Gameweeks, more than any other side.

Havertz's goal v Sheff Utd
Douglas Luiz (Aston Villa) £5.6m

Aston Villa’s Brazilian has two matches in the next two Gameweeks, hosting Tottenham Hotspur this weekend before visiting West Ham United in Blank Gameweek 29 (BGW29).

Douglas Luiz entertains Spurs in fine form, with three goals, two assists and 36 points in his last five appearances.

His output at Villa Park has been particularly impressive, with three double-figure scores across his previous four outings.

Indeed, Douglas Luiz is the top-scoring player in home matches in Fantasy this season, collecting 98 points thanks to nine goals, two assists and 22 bonus points.

Villa also have a home match in Gameweek 30 against Wolverhampton Wanderers, giving Douglas Luiz the chance to offer managers huge value in midfield.

Carlton Morris (Luton) £5.1m

The forward is the second most-bought player in the Gameweek due to Luton Town’s kind short-term schedule, gaining 169,000+ new owners.

The Hatters are the only side to have three matches in the next two Gameweeks, which includes a Double Gameweek 28 (DGW28) against Crystal Palace and AFC Bournemouth.

Morris approaches his pair of matches as one of the most in-form players in Fantasy, with five goals, two assists and a single blank in his last seven appearances.

Luton also have a very favourable home meeting with Nottingham Forest in BGW29 to help Morris continue his prolific scoring run.

Mohammed Kudus (West Ham) £6.8m

The West Ham midfielder has the short-term schedule to help managers navigate the upcoming period in Fantasy.

Kudus entertains Burnley this weekend and also has a home encounter with Aston Villa in BGW29.

The Ghanaian enjoyed a successful previous meeting with Burnley, producing two assists and 10 points in Gameweek 13.

Kudus’ 16 shots in the last four Gameweeks were twice the total of any other West Ham player, marking him out as a major all-round prospect in midfield.

Marcus Tavernier (Bournemouth) £5.4m

The midfielder offers a cut-price route into Bournemouth’s attack for their home matches against Sheff Utd and Luton in DGW28.

Tavernier has boasted a significant goal threat recently, despite a run of seven straight blanks.

His totals of 11 shots and seven shots in the box in the last four Gameweeks were bettered only by Dominic Solanke (£7.1m) among team-mates, with the forward producing 12 and 10 respectively.

The pair were also joint-top creators for the Cherries in that run, with seven key passes each. 

His visitors' records on the road add further encouragement. Both Sheff Utd and Luton rank among the bottom four sides for goals conceded in away matches, with 30 and 29 respectively.
