The Scout is tipping four players for big success in Gameweek 24 of 2025\/26 Fantasy Premier League<\/a> ahead of Saturday’s 13:30 GMT deadline<\/strong>, to help managers gain an edge over their mini-league rivals.<\/p>\n

Bryan Mbeumo (Man Utd) \u00a38.3m<\/p>\n

After consecutive wins against the top two, Manchester United are looking back to their best under new head coach Michael Carrick.<\/p>\n

Bruno Fernandes (\u00a39.5m) is already a must-have for many Fantasy managers, but with the fixtures for United now improving, it’s worth considering pairing him with Mbeumo.<\/p>\n

Man Utd’s next five matches<\/p>\n\nGW<\/td>\nOpp.<\/td>\nFDR*<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n24<\/p>\nFulham (H)<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n25<\/p>\nSpurs (H)<\/td>\n3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n26<\/p>\nWest Ham (A)<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n27<\/p>\nEverton (A)<\/td>\n3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n28<\/p>\nCrystal Palace (H)<\/td>\n3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\u00a0*1=easiest possible fixture, 5=hardest possible fixture<\/p>\n

The Cameroonian is proving a popular addition as the second most-bought player for Gameweek 24. Only Fernandes is ahead of him for transfers in.<\/p>\n

Used as a central striker by Carrick in his first two matches in charge, Mbeumo scored in both contests.<\/p>\n

The more advanced role looks to be benefiting him; Mbeumo is the leading midfielder for non-penalty Expected Goals (xG) over the last two Gameweeks, with 0.98.<\/p>\n

No one in the Premier League can better his total of three big chances since Carrick took over, either.<\/p>\n

Mbeumo’s versatility to play on the right wing should ensure plenty of game-time, even if Benjamin Sesko (\u00a37.2m) is brought back in up front.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Evanilson (AFC Bournemouth) \u00a37.0m<\/p>\n

With three goals over the last four Gameweeks, Evanilson is carrying some good form heading into Bournemouth’s favourable run of fixtures.<\/p>\n

The Cherries now have eight straight matches ranking three or lower in the Fixture Difficulty Ratings<\/a> (FDR), so the Brazilian forward has a great opportunity to add to his goals tally.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth’s next eight matches<\/p>\n\nGW<\/td>\nOpp.<\/td>\nFDR*<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n24<\/p>\nWolves (A)<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n25<\/p>\nAston Villa (H)<\/td>\n3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n26<\/p>\nEverton (A)<\/td>\n3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n27<\/p>\nWest Ham (A)<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n28<\/p>\nSunderland (H)<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n29<\/p>\nBrentford (H)<\/td>\n3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n30<\/p>\nBurnley (A)<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n31<\/p>\nMan Utd (H)<\/td>\n3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

*1=easiest possible fixture, 5=hardest possible fixture<\/p>\n

Evanilson could also be a convenient placeholder for Fantasy managers looking to temporarily move out Igor Thiago (\u00a37.2m), with Brentford facing some tougher fixtures in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Priced very similarly to his compatriot, Thiago could then be brought back in when the Bees’ schedule turns more favourably from Gameweek 27.<\/p>\n

Enzo Fernandez (Chelsea) \u00a36.7m<\/p>\n

Chelsea’s next four matches all score two in the FDR.<\/p>\n

All four of the below sides are in the bottom five for goals conceded in 2025\/26.<\/p>\n

Chelsea’s next four matches<\/p>\n\nGW<\/td>\nOpp.<\/td>\nFDR*<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n24<\/p>\nWest Ham (H)<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n25<\/p>\nWolves (A)<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n26<\/p>\nLeeds (H)<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n27<\/p>\nBurnley (H)<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

*1=easiest possible fixture, 5=hardest possible fixture<\/p>\n

Fantasy managers ought to strongly consider Chelsea attackers for the upcoming run, then, with Enzo arguably the standout candidate.<\/p>\n

Not plagued by the week-to-week injury niggles affecting Cole Palmer (\u00a310.4m), Enzo also stands to benefit when his fellow Chelsea midfielder is absent.<\/p>\n

We saw the upside of this in Gameweek 23 when Palmer missed out. The Argentina international was not only pushed into Palmer’s more advanced No 10 role, but also inherited penalty-taking duties, netting from the spot in a 3-1 win at Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n

Regardless of Palmer’s availability, Enzo is an excellent option. Even taking penalties out of the equation, his total of 7.17 non-penalty Expected Goals (xG) ranks second among all midfielders.<\/p>\n

He is even among the top 10 players in his position for Expected Assists (xA), too, with a score of 3.95.<\/p>\n

Daniel Munoz (Crystal Palace) \u00a35.8m<\/p>\n

Munoz returned from injury in last Sunday’s defeat to Chelsea, going straight into Oliver Glasner’s starting line-up.<\/p>\n

His importance to the Palace cause is clear; Munoz has never been benched by Glasner in any competition since the Austrian’s appointment as head coach nearly two years ago.<\/p>\n

Despite blanking against the Blues, Munoz is still averaging 6.0 points per match (ppm) this season. Only Gabriel<\/strong>\u00a0(\u00a36.9m) can better that among defenders, with 7.1ppm.<\/p>\n

Arguably the most attacking defender in the Premier League, Munoz has registered an Expected Goal Involvement (xGI) of 3.79 so far this season.<\/p>\n

Only two defenders can top that, and they’ve both played seven more matches than Munoz.<\/p>\n

The Colombian has even contributed defensive contribution points<\/a> in three of his 15 starts, highlighting his ability to produce Fantasy points from multiple avenues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Scout is tipping four players for big success in Gameweek 24 of 2025\/26 Fantasy Premier League ahead…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":552224,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[221,62,4063,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-552223","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-soccer","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-text","11":"tag-united-states","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115979999155501105","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=552223"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552223\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/552224"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=552223"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=552223"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=552223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
