⚽ Low-Owned Picks for Gameweek 29

We’ve opened a Discord community for Draft Fantasy. The best place to talk fantasy football with others!

What an absolute shambles that was. For anyone who triple-captained Solanke, Gameweek 28 will have served as a stark reminder of the trap that a double Gameweek so often is, particularly when it involves two poorer sides. Nothing for it, but to pull up our socks and go again. One problem. There are only 4 fixtures to go after this week. With clean sheets still in short supply, I'm shifting gears this week and digging out 5 attacking picks to have a punt on as you no doubt look to try and at least get a 5-a-side team out for Gameweek 29. Happy hunting and don't forget to vote for your pick of the tips!

Antony Elanga (NFO) MID Ownership: 33% Next Fixture: LUT (A)
With Luton’s latest capitulation last time out to Bournemouth, I’m targeting Forest attackers this week. With 5 goals and 7 assists already this season, Antony Elanga has arguably the Forest asset of most appeal. Last tipped in Gameweek 16 for the reverse fixture, the Manchester United youngster represents a great midfield option in a week of reduced fixtures and should you be in the 66% of leagues in which he is still available, I’d be looking to snap him up!

Alex Iwobi (FUL) MID Ownership: 20.7% Next Fixture: TOT (H)
Next up is another former pick in Alex Iwobi. Having been in and out of the side with niggles and bumps in his debut season, Iwobi returned a consolation goal last weekend and is on my radar for their home encounter with Tottenham this week. Whilst Spurs are undoubtedly one of the tougher opponents to find yourselves up against this week, Fulham’s home record should provide encouragement and I fancy the Cottagers to steal a goal or two this week.

Yoanne Wissa (BRE) FWD Ownership: 62.1% Next Fixture: BUR (A)
Gifted a goal last time out as Aaron Ramsdale looked determined to end his Arsenal career, Wissa has quietly gone on a bit of run of goals since his return from AFCON and Toney’s return to the Brentford attack. I find Brentford a tough team to call in terms of performances, but up against a relegation-bound Burnley side, I think Brentford assets will be high on the list for most managers this week and should Wissa still be available in your league, he should be up there as a top target.

Chris Wood (NFO) FWD Ownership: 26.3% Next Fixture: LUT (A)
With a threadbare squad of approximately 9,000 players to choose from, Nuno seems to have struggled to find his best Forest side as he continues to shuffle the pack on a regular basis. How many minutes Chris Wood will get this week is anyone’s guess, but I fancy that whoever does get the nod up top, they will be licking their lips at the prospect of facing a Luton side that seem to give up goals for fun. The New Zealander has already got himself on the scoresheet 8 times this season and I’m tipping him to make it a 9^th this weekend.

David Fofana (BUR) FWD Ownership: 23.8% Next Fixture: BRE (H)
Capping off my trio of striker picks this week is David Datro Fofana. It feels uncomfortable territory to be tipping Burnley players, but the Chelsea loanee has proven that he can be a bright spark for the Clarets having scored 3 and assisted once in his 7 appearances for the club. With relegation all but confirmed at this stage, Vincent Kompany will be hoping to at least see his side go out swinging and give the fans a few more moments to savour before they return to the Championship. Hopefully Fofana can do just that this week and is surely worth consideration if available in your league.

That will do it for this week from Draft Fantasy! Best of luck on the waiver wire!
