The Scout on why Man Utd and Brighton stars are among the best armband options.

3 2 5 Pts per start Pts But in the past always we scored a lot of goals.” “We will see today. We score a lot of goals this season. He scored an incredible amount of goals.

For the fifth-highest scoring striker in FPL, the Wales international has flown under the radar somewhat with a measly 2.3 per cent ownership. That should only ...

The dilemma for FPL managers is where to spread the cost of swapping out Haaland. [Marcus Rashford](/topic/marcus-rashford) also has a bit of a question mark over him ahead of a double gameweek in [FPL](/topic/fpl), for which managers have a deadline of 11am GMT, Saturday April 1. [Manchester City](/topic/manchester-city) striker pulled out of [Norway](/topic/norway)’s international period and a big question marks hangs over his return to face [Liverpool](/topic/liverpool) on the weekend.

We're in the final stretch for the Premier League season with the international break now over. With little room for manoeuvre in your Fantasy Premier ...

Brighton will have their work cut out to get the better of Brentford and Bournemouth, yet March's good form means he is a solid pick for the double gameweek. Nevertheless, should Spurs continue with a three-man defence under Cristian Stellini and Ryan Mason, then Pedro Porro should come into consideration for your Fantasy Premier League side, not just for Monday's game, but beyond too. Another double gameweek consideration now, this time on the south coast as Brighton gear up for meetings with Brentford and Bournemouth. Spurs will hope off-field issues won't impact their performances on the pitch, starting with Monday's trip to Everton. We're in the final stretch for the Premier League season with the international break now over. The Serb received his marching orders in Fulham's 3-1 FA Cup defeat to Manchester United, but he is likely to be sidelined for longer having been charged by the FA with violent and improper conduct. There is a way to capitalise upon the 28-year-old's absence, however, and that could be by picking his expected replacement on the frontline, Carlos Vinicius. Mitrovic's good form means Vinicius has been restricted to just 556 minutes of Premier League action this season, but despite a lack of game time, the Brazilian has still scored two and assisted one. Leicester are the 30-year-old's joint-favourite opponents having scored eight career goals against Brendan Rodgers' side, so one to consider this weekend. And while out of form, one who may benefit from Hodgson's return to south London is key forward Wilfried Zaha. Palace have a huge run of games looming, starting with Saturday's welcome of relegation rivals Leicester. Liverpool may have their issues on the road, yet Salah's five away league goals ranks seventh in the Premier League, and if the Reds are to spring an upset, then the 30-year-old will again be key.

After a fortnight's breather, the build-up for Gameweek 29 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) ramps up with the start of the pre-match press conferences.

Luis is improving, he is feeling better day by day and I’m sure he is going to help us in the next games, as Rodri is going to do as well. “It’s unfortunate because both were training last week, but we’ve lost Nathan Ferguson and Chris Richards for this game. Like some of the other guys I mentioned, it’s a little bit inconclusive at the moment in terms of availability for the next games, obviously we’ve got three in a week. He did have that tiny niggle on the injury, slighty different area, but he’s making very good progress. “It will be good to rotate the players. “Serge [Aurier], André [Ayew] and [Gustavo] Scarpa have picked up some injuries over the break as well. If he did or he didn’t, it was a long way back for him to get ready, so they took the decision to look after Harry and rule him out of the game and send him back early to get the treatment. Him travelling back has allowed him to get some treatment, get working again and so hopefully he should be fine. “I’m sorry but I cannot clarify [on Wober and Gnonto’s return] because I don’t know. For the latest on those 11 other sides, check out our “Sadly [Tielemans] had a slight setback. He’s trained this week so we’ll assess him finally tomorrow before the game and we’ll see where he’s at fitness-wise.

A closer look at the 28-year-old's statistics proves that he is a clever purchase this gameweek, particularly with Brighton enjoying a double Gameweek, with a ...

Salah’s form is currently ranked at 9.7, following impressive displays in back-to-back wins over Wolves (2-0) and Manchester United (7-0). Since a strong 18-point return across wins over Aston Villa and Spurs, the England midfielder has struggled to make an impact since, with just nine points earned in his last five Gameweeks. Leon Bailey and Saka’s team-mate Gabriel Martinelli performed well in midfield, while Aston Villa shotstopper Emiliano Martinez kept a clean sheet against Bournemouth. Apart from a brief four-game spell out of the starting 11 earlier this season, Shaw has been an ever-present in Erik ten Hag’s side since, who are vying for Champions League qualification. Brighton v Brentford 3.0 Manchester United v Brentford 8.0 Declan Loughnane’s 11 was the best performing Irish side of Gameweek 28, with 78 points on the board. Maddison was impressive in Gameweeks 22 and 23 as Leicester secured back-to-back wins, but has only managed one assist since. His form has been vital in helping Brighton into seventh ahead of Saturday’s clash with Brentford. Bournemouth v Fulham 3.0 Arsenal v Leeds 3.0 March primarily plays as a number 10 for Roberto De Zerbi’s side, but is versatile and can be redeployed into centre midfield or on either wing.

There is encouraging news for FPL managers overall, although Haaland's availability remains in doubt after Pep Guardiola's press conference.

Mason Mount is also back after a spell on the sidelines. David Moyes confirmed that Gianluca Scamacca, who has endured injury setbacks in London, currently has a sore knee. Like Sterling, Fofana could return in midweek. Mikel Arteta remains hopeful that the centre-back will return before the end of the season as “he is progressing” but “he still has some discomfort” and “is not going to be fit for this game”. On Marcus Rashford, Erik ten Hag said he has “good hope he will be available” for their trip to Newcastle after a knock ruled him out of England’s squad for the wins against Italy and Ukraine.
