Fantasy football scout tips gameweek 12: Raheem Sterling, Xherdan Shaqiri, Alvaro Morata and more

How many of our picks are in your team?

Raheem Sterling

Raheem Sterling proved to be the star of gameweek 11, returning two goals and two assists for a 21-point haul against Southampton.

Despite his consistent point-scoring this season, Sterling still only finds himself in 8 per cent of teams due to his pre-season price rise to £11.0m.

The Manchester City winger is, therefore, a powerful differential and a tempting option, even with the derby and Manchester United at the Etihad this Sunday.

Xherdan Shaqiri

Left out of Liverpool's midweek Champions League trip to Belgrade, Xherdan Shaqiri may benefit from the week's rest against Fulham this weekend.

Jurgen Klopp will certainly be tempted to change things after his side's insipid performance in Serbia and Shaqiri could rejuvenate a misfiring frontline.

Fulham, of course, are woeful defensively and surely do not hold any realistic hopes of leaving Anfield with a clean sheet. It may be wise to add Shaqiri to Mohamed Salah and/or Sadio Mané in your squad.

Marko Arnautovic

Speaking of Fulham, plenty of managers are looking to move Aleksander Mitrovic out of their squads this week and they appear to have a ready-made replacement at West Ham United.

Marko Arnautovic has had a stop-start season so far, with his scoring hampered by difficult fixtures or interrupted by spells of injury.

A goal and an assist came against Burnley last week though and a long, favourable run of fixtures starting away at Huddersfield Town this weekend should not be ignored.

Ben Chilwell

Leicester City welcome Burnley to the King Power Stadium this weekend for what is sure to be an emotionally-charged game, their first at home since the death of Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

James Maddison's knee injury, revealed on Thursday by Claude Puel, robs many managers of the best-owned Leicester player in the game this season.

It might be wise to turn our attentions to the defence. Ben Chilwell is another modestly-priced Foxes option and owned by just 1.7 per cent, despite returning 12 points in last week's win at Cardiff City.

Alvaro Morata

These are still early days but Alvaro Morata's recent form suggests we may yet see the best of him in a Chelsea shirt and as a fantasy asset.

The Chelsea striker has four goals in his last four outings, including a brace last time out against Crystal Palace, and welcomes Everton to Stamford Bridge this weekend.

Marco Silva's visitors still have plenty of questions hanging over them and may struggle to leave west London with a result if Morata maintains his recent scoring form.

Honourable mentions: Neil Etheridge, Hector Bellerin, Felipe Anderson, Sadio Mané, Callum Wilson.
