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 25 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 notes: Foden + Cherki shine in another Haaland blank 2

The name on top of Gameweek 24’s list, Kevin Schade (£7.1m), instead received a straight red card at Villa Park! He’ll miss the next two league matches.

Things were better for Rayan Cherki (£6.6m) and Jarrod Bowen (£7.6m), though. We spoke about the Frenchman being more about setting up goals, rather than netting for himself, but he put Manchester City ahead on Sunday afternoon, played in by Erling Haaland (£15.0m).

Bowen has two goals in two, pushing him off this week’s table.

Yet the main successes came from predicted assistors, despite only six of the nine being able to play.

Casemiro (£5.5m) and Pascal Gross (£5.5m) registered 13 and 12 points, respectively, while Crysencio Summerville (£5.5m) scored for the third time in a row.

    Saka to Madueke anyone?

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      2 days, 23 hours ago

      How much will he play? Will Eze be a threat or should he have the RW spot now do we think?

      1. Guttelim
        • 3 Years
        2 days, 23 hours ago

        I reckon he’s nailed till Saka’s back.. would have to transfer out then though

          Really? Will he play a 70 mins each game then? I wasn't sure if they'd just shove Eze Ode etc in

            He's just never had a good run in the team can any Arsenal fans shed some light. Enzo seemed the safe switch but this is an interesting option

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years

      Prefer rice

  3. Vasshin

    Now with dgw for Arsenal

    Would you triple up on Arsenal defense and transfer Rice out using 2FT?

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 days, 23 hours ago

      Nope

    2. Baps Hunter

      I have Gabi and Timber, Rice to Raya doesn't feel worth it. Rice just assisted, he ha corners etc. Calafiori a bit too risky imo.

  4. Stranger Mings

    Thiago to mane dg26 worth it?

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 days, 23 hours ago

      Strand Larsen will probably outscore Mane

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        2 days, 23 hours ago

        Its to fund getting timber. Otherwise kroupi?

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 days, 23 hours ago

          Yes, if no better way.

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 5 Years
            2 days, 23 hours ago

            Its either mane or kroupi

            1. Jigger & Pony
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              2 days, 23 hours ago

              Then Mane

        Mateta makes him minutes risk?

        1. Jigger & Pony
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 days, 23 hours ago

          Mateta talking of knee surgery

            Hilarious really. He’s fit enough to play for Palace, but not fit enough for a transfer, so he wants surgery, presumably paid for by Palace, so that he can get his move without playing for them again.

      Enzo more likely to be rested vs LEE than wol, as its the easier fixture and 4 days rest from Ars match?
