<h2 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Best FPL players for Blank Gameweek 29</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>Ollie Watkins (£9.0m) – Aston Villa</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: West Ham (A)</strong></p>
<p>Ollie Watkins suffered a rare blank last gameweek, but he has a good fixture in Blank Gameweek 29 to make amends.</p>
<p>Aston Villa are one of the best attacking sides in the league, with 59 goals (fourth) and an xG (expected goals) of 52.14 (fourth).</p>
<p>They come up against West Ham, who have conceded 49 goals (fifth-most) with an xGC (expected goals conceded) of 50.99 (third-worst).</p>
<p>Unai Emery’s side will be favourites to win this one, and I feel it will be a high scoring game from both sides.</p>
<p>Villa are the second most likely team to score 2.5+ goals (27%) in Blank Gameweek 29, according to the bookmakers.</p>
<p>Watkins has been phenomenal this season, and is the highest scoring player in the game. He has 16 goals and 15 assists, and is nailed to play 90 minutes.</p>
<p>The Villa man is the third favourite to score at any time (36%) in Gameweek 29, and also the third highest predicted scoring player (5.6 points) according to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool.</a></p>

<h3><strong>Son </strong><strong>Heung-min </strong><strong>(£9.9m) – Spurs</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Fulham (A)</strong></p>
<p>In only 23 starts this season, Son Heung-min has 14 goals and eight assists, with seven double-digit hauls. He has registered an xG of 7.8 and an xA of 5.4.</p>
<p>Spurs have a decent fixture in Blank Gameweek 29 against Fulham. The Cottagers are in the bottom five for xGC and Spurs are a highly attacking team.</p>
<p>They are the most likely team to score 2.5+ goals (29%) this gameweek.</p>
<p>Spurs have also now scored 59 goals (fourth) with an xG of 47.41 (seventh) so they will no doubt create plenty of chances again, and Son will be at the end of them.</p>
<p>The South Korean is nailed to start, and is the first choice penalty taker. Also with Richarlison injured, he will continue to play as the number 9.</p>
<p>He has a a very healthy 42% Goal Involvement in the games he has played this season, so is clearly their talisman,</p>
<p>Son is rated at 35% to score at any time, and he is also the highest predicted scoring player (6.7 points) for Blank Gameweek 29 according to our<a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions"> Hub AI Tool.</a></p>

<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>Ivan Toney (£8.1m) – Brentford</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Burnley (A)</strong></p>
<p>Ivan Toney has four goals and one assist in nine starts this season, with an xG of 3.1 and an xA of 0.8.</p>
<p>Brentford have the best fixture in Blank Gameweek 29. They travel to Turf Moor to take on Burnley.</p>
<p>The Clarets have conceded the second most goals (62) with an xGC of 49.4 (seventeenth).</p>
<p>Thomas Frank’s side meanwhile have been decent going forward. They have scored 40 goals (tenth) with an xG of 46.5 (ninth) so should have more than enough to score a few here.</p>
<p>Toney is the talisman for Brentford, and he is no doubt going to be one of the best captaincy options this week.</p>
<p>He is nailed to start and on penalties. If the Bees score, he is very likely to be involved in one way or another.</p>
<p>Toney scored 20 league goals in 33 games for Brentford last season, with a Goal Involvement Rate of 51% in the games he played.</p>
<p>He is the favourite to score at any time (48%) and the second highest predicted scoring player (5.7 points) according to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI tool</a> also.</p>

<h3><strong>Jarrod Bowen (£7.9m) – West Ham</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Aston Villa (H)</strong></p>
<p>Jarrod Bowen is on course for his best season to date, with 14 goals and two assists. He has registered an xG of 9.5 and an xA of 3.0.</p>
<p>West Ham have a tough fixture against Aston Villa in Blank Gameweek 29. Villa have conceded 41 goals (fifth) with an xGC of 40.0 (fifth) but the Hammers are at home and have scored nine goals in the last three games.</p>
<p>Since<strong> Lucas Paqueta (£6.0m)</strong> returned to the side, West Ham have been much better going forward and this has also coincided with Bowen’s upturn.</p>
<p>David Moyes’ side have scored 45 goals (seventh) and the signs point towards there being goals in this match.</p>
<p>Bowen is one of the most nailed-on attackers in the league and his underlying numbers and output show him to be a great option.</p>
<p>Bowen is also playing as a forward for his team despite his classification as a midfielder in FPL, and the England international is the fourth highest predicted scoring player (5.4 points) overall according to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool</a>.</p>

<h3><strong>James Maddison (£7.9m) – Spurs</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Fulham (a)</strong></p>
<p>James Maddison has been ticking along nicely since his return from injury. Since returning, he has one goal and three assists in six games.</p>
<p>Spurs are no doubt a better team when he is fit, and he is the one pulling the strings in the midfield.</p>
<p>With so much attacking talent around him, coupled with the style of play Ange Postecoglou adopts, he is no doubt going to score and create plenty of chances.</p>
<p>In five seasons for Leicester City, he scored 43 goals and 39 assists, and he has hit double digits for goals in the last two seasons. Even after the long injury layoff, he should hit 20 attacking returns this season.</p>
<p>I also think the fixture this week suits Maddison. Spurs don’t hold back, and with Fulham being at home, Marco Silva's side will be looking to create plenty of chances too, which could leave them open at the back.</p>
<p>Maddison can score and assist, and is on the majority of set-pieces for Spurs so will always have many avenues to points.</p>
<p>He is the fifth highest predicted scoring player (5.3 points) for Blank Gameweek 29 according to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI tool.</a></p>
