Man City star has averaged 9.2 points per start at Etihad this season and is among five players backed for success

The Scout is tipping five players to produce big points in Gameweek 34 of Fantasy Premier League ahead of the deadline at 11:00 BST on Saturday 23 April.

Kevin De Bruyne (MCI) £11.8m

A home encounter with Watford lifts the armband potential of Manchester City’s playmaker. 

De Bruyne has averaged 9.2 points per start at the Etihad Stadium this season, scoring nine goals and supplying two assists. 

At home, his 16 shots on target and 29 chances created are both team-leading totals.

Watford, meanwhile, arrive on the back of five defeats in six, conceding 15 goals in that run.

Mason Mount (CHE) £7.6m

The Chelsea midfielder is the most-bought player in Gameweek 34, earning 165,000+ new owners for his matches against West Ham United and Manchester United. 

Mount has proved a key performer for the Blues recently, scoring four goals and providing three assists in his last four outings in all competitions.

His 13 shots and 10 key passes in the last six matches both placed among Chelsea’s top three players.

Virgil van Dijk (LIV) £6.8m

Liverpool’s centre-back offers major potential at both ends of the pitch at home to Everton. 

Van Dijk has climbed to third place in the defender standings in Fantasy on the back of one goal, four clean sheets and 30 points in his last four outings at Anfield.

His totals of 26 shots in the box and 12 shots on target both rank third among defenders this season.

Wilfried Zaha (CRY) £6.8m

The Crystal Palace winger is on course for his most prolific goalscoring campaign in Fantasy.

Zaha has equalled his best-ever haul of 11 goals thanks to a run of five goals and 43 points in his last seven appearances.

Palace host a Leeds United side who have struggled in defence away from home, conceding at least twice in seven of their previous nine road trips.

Ollie Watkins (AVL) £7.4m

Aston Villa’s striker has scored in three of his last seven outings ahead of a visit to Leicester City.

Watkins has recorded 14 shots in the box and five big chances in his previous six matches, both totals placing joint-third among forwards in Fantasy.

His hosts are without a clean sheet in six attempts, lifting the appeal of investing early in Watkins prior to Villa’s upcoming DGW36 and DGW37.
