Ahead of the latest round of Premier League fixtures, read our FPL Scout report ahead of Friday 18 September 18:30 (UK) deadline.

City Star

Eliott Anderson’s (£6.3m) stand out performance in Gameweek 4 makes him a great investment for FPL managers heading into Gameweek 5.

Anderson registered 52 Defensive Contribution points last season having made 515 defensive contributions during the season.

Midfielder’s must register 12 defensive contributions (clearances, blocks, interceptions, tackles and ball recoveries) to register the additional two points.

Anderson returned 14 defensive contributions in Gameweek 4, meaning that he returned the additional Defensive Contribution points for the second time this season.

The Englishman has supplied the most crosses in the Man City team this term with 14, as well as having created three chances, of which two have been classified as big chances. Anderson has also had three attempts on goal and registered two clean sheet points.

One to Watch

Granit Xhaka (£5.5m) is Sunderland’s top-scoring player in Fantasy this season. The midfielder has registered one clean sheet point, five bonus points, four Defensive Contribution points and an assist.

Differentials

Elsewhere, Neco Williams (£5.0m) and Leif Davis (£4.0m) are low-owned gems who have good potential in Gameweek 4.

Williams has had three shots and created four chances this season as well as registering two Defensive Contribution points.

Davis returned 14-points against Crystal Palace in Gameweek 4 curtesy of a goal, two assists and a bonus point.
