You’ve probably heard about Joe’s much-liked ‘Goals Imminent’ table. You might listen to his and Marc’s Fantasy Football Scout podcast of the same name. Now, Goals Imminent is here in article form!

Heading towards Gameweek 22 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL), these Members Area statistics identify some underachieving players who look ‘due’ for a goal and/or assist.

Naturally, we’ll attempt to assess whether they’re unlucky, suffering a rare blip, or just aren’t particularly good.


LAST WEEK’S SUCCESSES

FPL new signings: Sesko 2

Not only did Benjamin Sesko (£7.2m) secure his first league goal since Gameweek 7, but he quickly bagged another.

David Brooks (£5.0m) featured on both tables and came off the bench to assist, the same return as backed-to-score Marcus Tavernier (£5.5m) and Yasin Ayari (£4.8m).

    What's with the Spurs kits?

      Tottenham are wearing a stunning special edition kit against Aston Villa to mark the 125th anniversary of their historic 1901 FA Cup-winning team.

      I'd say you need Gabriel and maybe Rice.

      Forget the opposition, he has slotted in seamlessly. I’d be looking at buying if I had the luxury

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        2 months, 24 days ago

        Yeh maybe foden is better to sell?

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          2 months, 24 days ago

          I would be selling Foden foe Semenyo if I had a freebie

  6. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    2 months, 24 days ago

    In my second decade of playing the game, I finally have four players from the same team 😀 (Foden, O'Reilly, Haaland, Semenyo). Leaning towards keeping the latter two.

    1. Flynniesta
      • 11 Years
      2 months, 24 days ago

      I’ve got Semenyo, Foden, Cherki & Haaland. Coin flip between Foden & Cherki to Rogers, although I’ve nothing left in the bank for the Cherki move if there’s any price changes

      The good thing about the FA Cup

      With the extra allocation for away fans, it's normally a decent atmosphere

      I am really excited to own four city players against united and Wolves.

      Oreilly foden Semenyo Haaland

      But RAN is out from Afcon as well.

      I have pretty okay bench as well. So should I bench Oreilly and/or Semenyo/Foden vs united?

        Put some on West Ham tomorrow too.

        QPR never makes it past the 3rd round of the FA Cup

    • Jet5605

      It's weirdly satisfying when rivals players (Rogers and Gordon) haul in cup games after blanking most weeks in FPL

    • Brosstan
      • 11 Years

      Wilson, Rogers and O'Reilly wasting their goals in the PL.

        • Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 months, 24 days ago

          😉 He got only the last minutes, Richa injured, but Solanke will certainly be eased in slowly.

      2. Zalk
        • 14 Years
        2 months, 24 days ago

        A tip for the commentators of Tot-Avl. If the tackle takes out the opponents legs too, it's not a great tackle...

      3. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        2 months, 24 days ago

        So no Palmer in the squad? He doesn’t fancy playing for this “I’m good at what I do” lad?

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 months, 24 days ago

          Hardly his decision. I think he is still carrying some sort of injury. And since this is B-team anyway, no point to risk him.

      4. F4L
        • 11 Years
        2 months, 24 days ago

        salah goal and assist in quarters

      5. F4L
        • 11 Years
        2 months, 24 days ago

        dont think i've ever seen a penalty shootout be won in just 6 kicks

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 months, 24 days ago

          I mentioned the same earlier.

      7. Captain Mal
        • 1 Year
        2 months, 24 days ago

        Algeria and Ivory Coast out of the AFCON means Ait-Nouri, Agbadou, Amad, Boly, Guessand and Sangare should be available for GW22.
        Nigeria and Egypt make it to the semifinals, so no Bassey, Chukwueze, Iwobi, Onyeka, Marmoush and Salah yet.

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 months, 24 days ago

          O'Reilly hasn't been great lately, RAN might be an issue for owners(?)

      8. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 24 days ago

        Whilst no-one is watching the game, my question is have you considered WC24 as a viable strategy? One CC has mentioned that and he is the mos fixture oriented one. Blanks and doubles should be smaller this season again and we have possibility to cumulate transfers. Therefore situation could be or actually is different compared to previous times.

        1. The Knights Template
          • 12 Years
          2 months, 24 days ago

          Would you be looking to make a lot of changes?

        2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 12 Years
          2 months, 24 days ago

          Too many uncertainties to activate WC for my liking. Still unsure about Palmer, Bruno etc.

        3. Captain Mal
          • 1 Year
          2 months, 24 days ago

          It is true the fixture swing makes WC 24 appealing. I haven't considered it for my own team, because I'm on 4 FT right now.
          The blanks and doubles might be smaller, but it isn't just about the number of teams, it also depends on which specific teams get involved. The FA Cup just started, so there's a long way to go, but there's a chance M. City could blank in 31 and 34 and double in 33 and 36. Are you confident you can navigate that without a WC?

        4. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          2 months, 24 days ago

          GW24 has been talked about for a long time as one of the better fixture swings. Personally I dont see the point as the only good team with a swing is chelsea and its fairly easy to get 3 chelsea players if you want that without playing WC.

          WC is better spent when we know the blanks and doubles to have a good strategy going into those weeks.

      9. Free Hat
        • 7 Years
        2 months, 24 days ago

        The Newcastle cup game really sums up the variance lately...

        Gordon pen goal+assist (and pen scored in shootout)
        Bruno yc (and pen miss in shooutout)

        Well, back to Gordon blank + yc next gw I guess!

        1. ball c
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 months, 24 days ago

          You think he starts against wolves?

          1. Free Hat
            • 7 Years
            2 months, 24 days ago

            Actually not even sure. Or Howe needs to play Barnes from the right...

      10. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        2 months, 24 days ago

        Play Semenyo or DCL?

        1. Ziyech on the Bench
          • 8 Years
          2 months, 24 days ago

          I think Semenyo will explode with city

          1. RICICLE
            • 3 Years
            2 months, 24 days ago

            Really can’t see that happening, at all imo

          2. McGurn
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            2 months, 24 days ago

            I personally think he will play 30/60 every game this season. Points for sure but with a ceiling. Good luck , but i am ooot.

      11. Mother Farke

        3.59 xG for Chelsea. Only Charlton but a professional job done.

        1. Mother Farke
          • 2 Years
          2 months, 24 days ago

          One goal was a pen ofc

      12. 1justlookin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 months, 24 days ago

        Is there a template route for the WC, FH, BB yet or is it too early?

        1. Ziyech on the Bench
          • 8 Years
          2 months, 24 days ago

          I wildcarded chasing and wanted Gabriel, Watkins and chelsea players with new manager and fixtures:

          Sanchez

          Gabriel, Timber, Alderete

          Saka, Palmer, Wilson, Gapko, Semenyo

          Watkins, Haaland

          Dubs, Mane, alleyne, Gudmonsson

          1. Ziyech on the Bench
            • 8 Years
            2 months, 24 days ago

            Sorry Mitoma instead of Gakpo

        2. Sheffield Wednesday
          • 5 Years
          2 months, 24 days ago

          Can't find a link to this season's Ben Crellin Google Spreadsheet Calendar 2025/2026, though was able to see it last season without being a Hub financial member.

        3. Yes Ndidi
          • 6 Years
          2 months, 24 days ago

          I would imagine it'll look a bit like this:
          dead end into 31 (first BGW)
          WC32
          BB33 (first DGW)
          FH34 (second BGW)
          TC36 (second DGW)

          Unless Arse & Wolves get a DGW in 26/27, in which case Mane (TC) might be on the cards

          Obviously depends on who actually blanks & doubles, and who we've got in our teams at the time the announcements are made, but this is what I'm looking at if Carabao cup results follow the odds.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            2 months, 23 days ago

            Thanks mate, appreciate that.

            Mane TC feels very brave, even in a DGW
