Football Paparazzi Weekly Fantasy Fix: Best picks for FPL Gameweek 24

Last Updated on 30 January 2026

Gameweek 24 is set to reward Fantasy managers who combine form, fixtures, and minutes security. With rotation risks still present and some teams hitting purple patches, this week is ideal for finding differential points and fixture-proof players.

Targeting players on hot streaks or with favourable matches can swing mini-leagues, while a few standout selections could give your squad the edge over rivals.

Here’s a curated list of top Fantasy Premier League GW24 picks to consider for immediate returns and potential longer-term value.

Brian Brobbey (Sunderland) – £5.5m

Brian Brobbey gets the nod after scoring in three of the last four Gameweeks. Sunderland host a Burnley side that has yet to keep an away clean sheet this season, conceding 27 goals in 11 road matches.

At £5.5m, Brobbey is a bargain forward with both goal threat and consistency. His ability to finish chances inside the box makes him a reliable option for Fantasy managers seeking low-risk returns, especially against a leaky Burnley defence.

Evanilson (AFC Bournemouth) – £7.0m

Evanilson heads into GW24 with three goals in the last four Gameweeks, carrying promising form for Bournemouth’s run of favourable fixtures. The Cherries face eight straight matches rated three or lower in the Fixture Difficulty Ratings (FDR).

He’s also a practical placeholder for managers looking to temporarily move out Igor Thiago (£7.2m) while keeping an attacking asset in the side. Evanilson’s consistency and role in Bournemouth’s front line make him a must-watch this week.

Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United) – £9.5m

Bruno Fernandes is the standout captaincy candidate for GW24 as Manchester United aim for a third consecutive win under Michael Carrick. His 10-point haul against Manchester City in Gameweek 22 marked his sixth double-digit return this season – twice that of any teammate.

Fernandes’ all-round contributions, from goals to assists to penalties, make him a near-essential pick for Fantasy managers targeting explosive returns. When United are firing, Bruno is often at the centre of it.

Enzo Fernandez (Chelsea) – £6.7m

Chelsea attackers are a strong pick for the upcoming run, and Enzo Fernandez is arguably the standout. With the next four matches scoring just two in the FDR and opponents ranking among the bottom five for goals conceded this season, his potential is high.

Enzo benefited last week when Cole Palmer (£10.4m) was absent, taking on advanced attacking and penalty duties to net a spot-kick goal. Beyond penalties, according to Fantasy Premier League, his 7.17 non-penalty Expected Goals (xG) ranks second among midfielders, making him a reliable source of points.
