With only one round of Premier League fixtures left, Fantasy Premier League managers scramble for low‑ownership picks that can swing mini‑league standings. Prasun Singhal spotlights three unlikely heroes who could deliver a late surge. Their names suggest risk, but the reward is clear: a single win can separate you from a rival in the season.

Richarlison, Tottenham’s lone striker after Dominic Solanke’s injury, has scored two goals and supplied an assist in his last four outings, playing every minute of the final three games. Facing Everton at home, the 6.4% owned forward could secure a draw that keeps Spurs alive for next‑season Premier League status in the final week match.

Burnley’s Jaidon Anthony, currently 1.9% owned, has racked up 125 points this season and will face Wolves, who have conceded 12 goals in their last four away fixtures. Under Mike Jackson, Burnley has collected a point against Aston Villa and a narrow loss at Arsenal, making Anthony’s potential impact a calculated gamble in the final.

Cody Gakpo, a 5.6% owned Liverpool midfielder, has started every match since gameweek 20 and sits on the bench for a potential goal haul against Brentford. Meanwhile, Statman Dave flags Morgan Gibbs‑White and Jarrod Bowen as high‑upside transfers, noting Bowen’s 18 goals and 10 assists account for 42% of West Ham’s league tally in season.
