FPL Challenge: Players to target in Saturday's remaining fixtures

The opening two FPL Challenge deadlines of Gameweek 30 passed at 12:30 and 15:00 GMT respectively, but Fantasy managers can still enter a squad and make changes to their team, selecting any players who are yet to play their match.

Here, The Scout highlights the key men and fixtures to target for the remainder of Saturday’s fixtures.

17:30 GMT Fantasy Challenge deadline
Aston Villa v Wolves

Forward Ollie Watkins (£9.0m) will be the most popular player for Aston Villa’s home encounter with Wolverhampton Wanderers, while his midfield team-mates Douglas Luiz and Leon Bailey (both £5.7m) are also worth considering.

Luiz is the top-scoring player in home matches in Fantasy this season, with 100 points, and Bailey’s total of 79 points in those encounters is just behind the 85 points of Watkins. 

Wolves forward Matheus Cunha (£5.5m) is now back to full fitness following a recent injury, with nine goals and six assists highlighting his all-round potential.

20:00 GMT Fantasy Challenge deadline
Brentford v Man Utd

Manchester United midfield pair Bruno Fernandes (£8.2m) and Marcus Rashford (£8.4m) are the form picks for Saturday’s final match. Fernandes has produced attacking returns in three successive matches for the first time this season, while Rashford has scored in each of the last two Gameweeks. 

Rasmus Hojlund (£7.0m) and Alejandro Garnacho (£4.9m) offer further options for those keen to load up on the Man Utd attack.

Brentford’s huge threat from free-kicks and corners could be a big factor here, though – Man Utd have conceded more shots from set-pieces than any other side in the league.

Ivan Toney (£8.2m) looks perfectly placed to threaten the Red Devils’ rearguard and build on his goal for England over the international break. Early-season Fantasy favourite Bryan Mbeumo (£6.7m) is back to full fitness and pushing for his first start since Gameweek 15.
