Invest in Newcastle trio before transfer reset

With GW15 just around the corner and the free transfer reset next week to put everyone up to five ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations, this is your chance to make those final moves count, He writes Fantasy Premier League Expert Blake Hurst. If you have a spare conversion, there’s no reason to let it burn out – be bold and chase for one week! The GW15 is ideal for short range kicks, where one player’s swing or part of the shape can make a huge difference before resetting. Here are six of our top one-week picks that can provide that final boost when you need it most.

Nick Waltmad (7.4 m)

There is something quietly reliable about Woltemade this season. He doesn’t produce huge carries, but he keeps going – and that’s gold for a short-term gamble. With five goals and two assists in 11 games at a rate of 0.5 per 90, he is always in intelligent positions. Burnley at home offers a great opportunity; They continue to create chances through the middle and struggle against direct attackers. If you’re looking for a consistent return with upside potential, Woltemade seems like the perfect “right place, right time” option for this game week.

Brian Mbeumo (8.3m)

Mbeumo makes headlines Manchester United A midfield trio worth considering this week. With Wolves next – a team that has conceded 29 goals in 14 games and often looks faltering defending set-pieces – there is real upside here. United’s delivery and movement have improved, and with Joao Gomez suspended, Wolves may lose more control in midfield. Whether you prefer Bruno Fernandes for penalties or Mbeumou and Matheus Cunha for the threat of open play, any of these selections can achieve your goals. Keep an eye on United’s lineup against West Ham and fitness updates before jumping in, but the potential for a return is undeniable.

Bruno Guimarães (6.7 m)

Guimarães came on in the first half against Tottenham to score again – a sign of confidence and form heading into the weekend. Newcastle face Burnley at home, a match that was kind to the attacking midfielders. Guimarães has calmly returned in seven of his last eight appearances, often saving his best for St James’ Park. His late shots into the box and knack for picking up second balls make him a real difference for one week. With Newcastle’s attack linking up well again, Guimarães could be a great mid-priced player for managers looking to roll the dice on this week.

Malik Thiaw (5.0 m)

Only 1.9% ownership for a defender of Thiaw’s ability seems criminal. Burnley’s home game is the kind of game that screams clean sheets, and Thiao isn’t just a defensive option – he’s a real threat from set-pieces. Averaging 8.58 defensive contributions per 90 and posting a 1.49 xGI so far this season, his underlying numbers suggest he’s worth something more. Meanwhile, Burnley have scored just 15 goals all season and rarely handle pressure well. A goal set and a clean sheet are not out of reach here. For one week, Thiaw may be the budget hero no one talks about.

Alexander Isak (10.4 m)

If there was ever a week to back a low-level striker with high capital, this might be it. Liverpool They didn’t fire, and neither did Isak, but Leeds’ defensive weakness – especially around the six-yard box – makes this a great opportunity. Isak can benefit from those areas in particular, as he drifts between defenders who struggle to position himself. With Mohamed Salah’s minutes uncertain, there is a good chance Isaac will advance to penalties if the opportunity arises. He lacks confidence, yes, but the quality is undeniable. For one week of aggressive play, Isak offers the perfect balance of risk and reward which can pay off handsomely.
