SCOUT’S BLANK GAMEWEEK 18 PICKS

Matt Ritchie (4.5) is my chosen travel representative from Newcastle to Sheffield United.

While Callum Wilson feels like an obvious choice, his former colleague from Bournemouth is more likely to exceed his expected points threshold.

No player scheduled to take part in the Bramall Lane clash on Tuesday night has created more chances in their last four games than Ritchie (eight), who faces a Blades side still without a clean sheet this season.

Romain Saïss (6.5) is an easy choice for me. He only has to add to his impressive goal tally this season (and avoid conceding a hat and / or being booked) and he will have beaten the points predicted by Fantasy5.

The Wolves man is the best of all defenders for shots into the box in the last four games, scoring two goals. In Blank Gameweek 18, he faces a team from Everton who rank in the bottom four in header attempts since Gameweek 14.

Marcus Rashford (8.5) will need two offensive returns to surpass his predicted points against Burnley, but I think he has a good chance of doing it.

Paul Pogba’s latest injury update suggests Rashford will return to the left side of Manchester United’s attack on Tuesday night – bad news for Burnley. In the last four games, they’ve given up 18 chances on their right flank, the second worst in the Premier League in the same period.

Meanwhile, Rashford is as much of an away days specialist as Fernandes this season. His two double-digit races in 2020/21 are on the road, where he is not yet a goalless after the first 17 match weeks and is averaging 8.4 FPL points per game so far.

Ilkay Gündogan(7.5) ‘s more advanced role in recent matches increases her Fantasy appeal for Gameweek 18.

In the last four matches, he ranks third among Manchester City players in key assists, but has outscored both Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling in box shots, big chances and shots on target.

Kieran tierneyThe raiding attitude of (6.5) may help him surpass his planned points for Gameweek 18 when Crystal Palace makes it to Emirates Stadium.

Apart from their 5-1 win at West Bromwich Albion in Gameweek 11, the Eagles have only scored six goals in seven away appearances this season, while Tierney has created more chances than any other player in the game. ‘Arsenal from Gameweek 15.

LUKE’S BLANK GAMEWEEK 18 PICKS

• Roman Saiss (6.5): Wolves center-back is one of the biggest stoppage threats with nine shots on goal in the last four games and seven in the box, leading all defenders in both categories. A clean sheet and a goal would see him conformably exceed the required 6.5 points.

• Bruno Fernandes (9.5): In order to beat the threshold of 9.5 points, the attacking choices will have to register more than two offensive returns; this is also true for all 7.5 and up picks, so why not pick the man who specializes in double digit transportation? With penalties and set pieces, Fernandes has become one of the most trusted fantasy assets in recent history. No evidence for me.

• Joao Cancelo (6.5): The Manchester City full-back has recently become a fixture for Pep Guardiola’s side, having started 11 of the last 12 Premier League games. City are the bookies’ favorite for a clean sheet in Gameweek 18 against a shy Brighton outfit. Meanwhile, Cancelo has the highest xGI for 90 of any defenseman starting regularly this season.

• Callum wilson (6.5): A match that seems deprived of fantasy options on paper means I’m playing ‘safe’ with Callum Wilson. The talismanic striker has been involved in 71% of Newcastle’s goals when on the pitch and even in below par performances, he has penalties to fall back on.

• Kieran tierney (6.5): Arsenal’s left-back will need an attacking return and a clean sheet to reach his quota, but for now it looks very achievable. Arsenal have back-to-back shutouts and Tierney looks like a real threat after registering a goal and assist in Gameweek 17.
