Fantasy Premier League gameweek 24 tips: Kevin De Bruyne, Odsonne Edouard, Kieran Tierney and more

Kevin De Bruyne

Manchester City midfelder Kevin De Bruyne

In a week without a truly outstanding captaincy choice, it may be time for De Bruyne to come to the fore. Manchester City’s meeting with Brentford at the Etihad is the week’s biggest mismatch and the Belgian has four returns in his last five.

Son Heung-min

Son is a fantasy favourite but relatively low owned given that Tottenham have one of the week’s strongest fixtures - with Southampton visiting north London - and a double against City and Burnley on the horizon.

Southampton have the second-worst defensive record away from home in the top flight, with only Norwich having conceded more on their travels. That bodes well for both Son and Harry Kane in a Tottenham side that is beginning to find a groove under Antonio Conte.

Odsonne Edouard

This season has been a slog in the mid-price forward bracket but is Crystal Palace’s Edouard the player we’ve been waiting for? Seven returns in his last six games at a price of just 6.5m has caught the eye, especially given Palace’s kind schedule.

Kieran Tierney

Arsenal will see some serious investment over the next few weeks of blanks and doubles, though it makes sense to start buying from the back ahead of a trip to Molineux to play a Wolves side that does not concede many but does
