Fantasy Premier League returns this weekend, and we’ve rounded up some tips to help managers gain an edge in Gameweek 24.
Harry Wilson (10 points), Antoine Semenyo (8) and Thierno Barry (9) led the way in last weekend’s 49-point haul.
Looking ahead, Manchester United’s upturn in form makes Bruno Fernandes and Bryan Mbeumo appealing picks for Sunday’s meeting with Fulham. Semenyo also stands out, having scored in three of his four City appearances this season.
There is also a case for investing in Florian Wirtz. After a slow start at Liverpool, the German is finding his feet.
He scored his fifth goal across all competitions in the 6–0 UEFA Champions League win over Qarabag - the most by any Premier League player since December 27, according to Squawka.
Saturday’s clash with Newcastle United, live on TNT Sports and discovery+, offers another chance to extend that run.
If you’re unsure where to turn, here are three other players who could make a big difference in Gameweek 24.

As ever, the categories are:
Player 1: Max 10% ownership
Player 2: Max 5% ownership
Player 3: Max 2% ownership
FPL players only have until the 13:30 UK time deadline on Saturday, January 31, to make changes to their side ahead of a full round of fixtures.
1) Daniel Munoz (6.0%)
Daniel Munoz has been an FPL favourite in his two years in the Premier League, and having returned from injury in Crystal Palace’s defeat to Chelsea last Sunday, you should put the Colombian straight back into your team.
Despite drawing a blank against The Blues, Munoz has averaged 6.0 points per match (ppm) this term, a return only bettered by Gabriel Magalhaes’ 7.1ppm.
While Palace have been in dismal form over the past six weeks, their woes were largely rooted in Munoz’s absence.
The wing-back has registered an Expected Goal Involvement (xGI) of 3.79 so far this season, which has only been bettered by two defenders this season, both of whom have played seven more games than the Palace star.

2) Evanilson (2.5%)
Evanilson has scored three goals in his last four weeks ahead of a favourable run of form for Bournemouth.
Indeed, The Cherries' next eight matches rank three or lower in FPL’s Fixture Difficulty Ratings (FDR), so the Brazilian should have a good opportunity to add to his tally.
Moreover, Evanilson could act as a suitable placeholder for managers looking to move out Igor Thiago ahead of Brentford’s more difficult run of games - or, dare we say, sideline Erlilng Haaland as the Norwegian looks to refind his form.
We wouldn’t recommend the latter, however, with Haaland having ended his five-game goal drought in Manchester City’s 2-0 Champions League win over Galatasaray.

3. James Hill (0.8%)
If you’re working on a budget, Bournemouth defender James Hill is a great option.
The 24-year-old, who costs just £3.9m, has made five straight starts for Bournemouth and earned defensive contribution points in four of those, while in the other he registered nine points.
Moreover, as mentioned, Bournemouth have a favourable run of fixtures until Gameweek 30, including matches against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Everton, West Ham United and Burnley.
And because we’re nice… we’ll give you two tips for the price of one. Sunderland’s Martin Brobbey has scored three goals in his last four games and with Burnley next up, you’d expect the Dutchman to add to his tally.
