Four goals in as many Gameweeks mean Glenn Murray (£5.8m) continues to offer outstanding value in Fantasy Premier League.

The Brighton & Hove Albion striker is the second-most signed forward ahead of Saturday’s 11:30 GMT deadline and is part of a three-man attack in The Scout’s best XI for Gameweek 29.

David De Gea (MUN) £5.9m

The top-scoring FPL goalkeeper seeks a 16th clean sheet when Manchester United visit Selhurst Park on Monday night. De Gea has kept five shutouts in his last eight Gameweeks, while Crystal Palace have scored only two goals in their last four home matches.

Ben Mee (BUR) £4.9m

A run of seven Gameweeks without a clean sheet could end for Burnley when Everton visit Turf Moor. That is because Mee has kept seven of his eight shutouts alongside James Tarkowski (£4.5m), who is fit again. The Toffees arrive with only three goals from their last six away trips.

Andrew Robertson (LIV) £4.8m

With starts in 13 of the last 14 Gameweeks, the Scot has seen off the challenge of Alberto Moreno (£4.4m) to emerge as a cut-price option in the Liverpool defence. Robertson's assist in the win over West Ham United underlines a growing influence in the final third ahead of Newcastle United’s visit to Anfield.

Ben Davies (TOT) £5.8m

The Welshman is poised for a ninth successive Gameweek start in Saturday's home match with Huddersfield Town. Davies has created 41 chances this season, the most of any defender. He also supplied a goal and an assist for a season-high 16 points in the reverse fixture.

Harry Maguire (LEI) £5.5m

Leicester City’s only ever-present outfield player remains the pick of their defence for AFC Bournemouth’s visit. The Foxes have conceded only two big chances in their last four home matches. No side have allowed fewer.

Mohamed Salah (LIV) £10.5m

Salah has goals in each of his last four Premier League outings and in his previous six in all competitions. He was the most popular captain pick over the last two Gameweeks and wears our armband against Newcastle on Saturday.

Riyad Mahrez (LEI) £8.7m

Mahrez had six shots on goal against Stoke City last weekend and has a goal or an assist in nine of his last 12 Gameweek starts. He faces an AFC Bournemouth defence with one clean sheet in their last 15 matches.

Marko Arnautovic (WHU) £6.9m

The Austrian travels to Swansea City in form. He has been directly involved in 11 goals in his last 10 Gameweeks. Arnautovic is set to spearhead a West Ham side who have scored 13 goals in their last six away trips, a tally bettered only by Liverpool.

Harry Kane (TOT) £12.9m

Like Ben Davies, Kane has fond memories of his previous encounter with Huddersfield Town. He scored a brace in the Gameweek 7 victory at John Smith's Stadium. The striker has found the net in five of his last six Gameweeks and seven of his last nine Premier League starts.

Romelu Lukaku (MUN) £11.2m

A 12-point return last time out has sparked a first increase in ownership in the Belgian since Gameweek 19. New investors could reap instant rewards from Monday’s visit to Crystal Palace as Lukaku has scored five of Man Utd’s last seven goals in all competitions.

Glenn Murray (BHA) £5.8m

The Brighton striker has five goals from his last five matches at Amex Stadium in all competitions. He next faces an Arsenal side who are without a clean sheet in their previous 10 Gameweeks, conceding 19 goals and 29 big chances over that period. No team have allowed more.
