⚽ Low-Owned Picks for Gameweek 30

Draft fantasy football picks for gameweek 30

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

Well, what a complete waste of everybody's time that international break was. England fans can now confirm that they either definitely will, or definitely won't be any good in the Summer and fantasy managers now have a sea of yellow flagged players to navigate. Grumblings aside, at least we are back to the proper football this week and are in store for an absolute hum-dinger when Arsenal and City face-off on Sunday. For those looking to make some punts on the waiver wire, here are this week's hidden gems and low-owned punts for your perusal. Don't forget to vote for your pick of the punts below!

Timothy Castagne (FUL) DEF Ownership: 29.8% Next Fixture: SHU (A)
My strategy of targeting players facing Sheffield United has back-fired a couple of times already this season, but it remains viable given just how poor the Blades have been. Should Fulham get their noses in front in this one, it could be a long 90 minutes for Sheffield United fans. Whilst there are plenty of options likely available in Fulham’s ranks, I'm picking Castagne. Having picked up an assist and a clean sheet last time out, I'm hoping the Belgian can deliver similar returns this week. Pick up now if available.

 

Illia Zabarnyi (CHE) DEF Ownership: 14.7% Next Fixture: EVE (H)
With most managers quickly binning their Bournemouth players following their double gameweek two weeks ago, you should have your pick of the Cherries back available on the waiver list. My pick for this week is centre-back Illia Zabarnyi. Up against Everton this week, the Toffees have recently taken their foot right off the gas and decided that goals just might not be for them so decent clean sheet odds and the occasional foray into the opposition’s box make Zabarnyi my second defender punt for this week.

 

Mykhailo Mudryk (CHE) MID Ownership: 28.3% Next Fixture: BUR (H)
It's a sign of where Chelsea are as a club that one of their long list of hotly tipped signings is now in the hidden-gem market. Chelsea have often looked better against the top sides this season, but surely they can muster a performance against a lowly Burnley side that will be missing their most promising asset for this one in Chelsea loanee David Fofana. Mudryk has shown glimpses of promise in recent cameos and something tells me that he will cause chaos in this one, likely returning points in the process.

 

Anthony Elanga (NFO) MID Ownership: 30% Next Fixture: CRY (H)
Forest have been deeply uninspiring of late, but where they have looked a threat, Anthony Elanga has largely been involved. With a home fixture against Crystal Palace this week, it's anyone’s guess as to what the scoreline will be in this one, but I am backing Elanga to return and looks an excellent option for anyone in the market for a fifth midfielder.

 

Matheus Cunha (WOL) FWD  Ownership: 42.2% Next Fixture: AVL (A)
This week's striker pick is more of a longer term selection with the young Brazilian still on the waiver list in more than 50% of leagues. In fine form prior to picking up an injury back in Gameweek 24, Cunha had been one of the underdog stories of the season having been at best a late round pick on draft day. Whilst it's to be seen if he starts this week or not, O'Neil will be desperate to have one of his stars back and should remain one of the first names for his starting eleven for the remaining fixtures. An absolute steal if still available.

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