Hey all,

I’ll try to keep my post brief. This is the team I’ve picked:

Adrian
Bertrand - Rose - Ivanovic
Mane - Hazard - Silva - Sanchez
Kane - Giroud – Benteke
83.9m

We start at the back where I’ve picked 4 players who I think have great potential for clean sheets. While West Ham have been conceding recently I fancy them to get a clean sheet against a poor Sunderland side even with a new manager in place. The potential is there for save points too.

Rose, Bertrand and Ivanovic are all attacking full backs in teams that look likely to keep a clean sheet. Spurs obviously not as highly backed for clean sheets as the others but Rose is very attacking and expect him to nick some points.

In the midfield we have Mane who served me well last time up in the picks who has a plum fixture against Burnley. While Southampton aren’t scoring loads if they are he’s usually in the mix for points. I wanted an Arsenal midfielder and have opted to stick with Sanchez, hopefully he can convert some more of those shots he’s having in the box. Last 2 picks are Hazard and Silva both with decent fixtures this week and I think they’ll both be back in the points.

The stand out up front is the fact there’s no Aguero. I’ve instead gone for 3 players who have been in the goals more recently. Giroud is Mr Consistent right now and Sherwood seems to have got Benteke firing again and he’s also on pens. Last up we have mr dependable and low price enabler Sir Harry Kane.

Adrian
Fonte-Bertrand-Ivan-Terry
Hazard-Ozil-Eriksen-Mane
Sakho-Giroud

Forster
Rose, Ivan, Creswell
Mane, Downing, Hazard, Silva
Kane, Giroud, Benteke

I'm going to try this one now:

Ospina
Alderweireld - Ivanovic - Cresswell
Eriksen - Hazard - Mane - Alexis
Costa - Giroud - Kane

As far as I can count I'm quite within the budget,

Thanks for voting 🙂

well, this exercise is without a captain but if I had to pick one from the bunch I might go Kane.

Ospina (new)

Ivan (hul), Bertrand (BUR), Rose (LEI)

Hazard, Sanchez, Mane, Silva (WBA)

Giroud, Kane, Sakho (SUN)

Guzan

Bertrand Bellerin Rose

Mane Hazard Ozil Silva

Aguero Giroud Kane

why ozil over sanchez when i pick ozil sanchez scores , and when i pick sanchez ozil scores...how to pick the one which scores?

Ospina

Clichy , Ivan , Aldeweird

Siggy Stardust , Silva , Sanchez , Hazard

Sakho , Kane , Sturridge

Adrian
Toby - Naughton - Ivanovic
Mane - Siggy - Yaya - Ramsey
Kane - Costa - Sakho

I think this should do it...

Courtois

Ivan - Terry - Bertrand

Silva - Mane - Siggy - Downing

Giroud - Kane - Aguero

(82,9)

Chelsea - clean sheet incoming
Bert - clean sheet likely. Attacking points possible + bonus possible
Mane - the main goalscoring outlet for Soton
Siggy - Swansea's main attacking outlet and on set pieces.
Silva & Aguero - always dangerous
Giroud - vs depleted Newcastle defence
Downing - this is the week he returns to form
Kane - no explanation needed.

A vote would be awesome.

Lloris
Azpilicueta Alderweireld Naughton
Hazard Ramsey Mane Downing
Lukaku Giroud Kane

Hart
Bertrand - Clark - Ivanovic
Mane - Hazard - Silva - Sanchez
Kane - Giroud – Sakho
82.3m

My Scout Picks;

Hart (WBA)
Alderweireld (BUR) Azpilicueta (hul) Rose (LEI)
Cazorla (new) Mane (BUR) Coutinho (MUN) Hazard (hul)
Kane (LEI) Giroud (new) Aguero (WBA)

= £83.4m

Joe Hart seems the most secure route into the City backline who I expect to keep a shut out against a West Brom team low on goals on the road, don't expect many goals here after a midweek away trip for City but Aguero is sure to be amongst it and looks an essential part of my three man strike force.

I've also doubled up on four more teams, Tottenham's Harry Kane is a must have at home to Leicester and Danny Rose provides a cheap defender with a strong chance of a clean sheet with plus attacking threat at from the back.

Southampton play Burnley at home with Toby Alderweireld proving a cheap route into the leagues meanest defence and Sadio Mane impressing away at Chelsea in the previous gameweek.

I fancy Chelsea to make light work of Hull City away with Eden Hazard impressing in recent away fixtures and Azpilicueta expected to keep his place in the defence.

Arsenal provide my last double up away to a beleaguered Newcastle, Olivier Giroud is the man in form at a great price and he is teamed up with Santi Cazorla who has had his rest and rolls up with excellent form and set pieces in his armour.

My punt pick is Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho. Hard to know how this game will go but Liverpool will be desperate for the win against their local and top four rivals and the little magician lit up the recent game at Anfield against the blue side of Manchester, i'm hopeful he can repeat the trick here.

Thanks for looking, soz if it was a bit long winded!

Ospina (new)

Alder(BUR) Zouma(hul) Bertrand(BUR)

Mane (BUR )Hazard(hul) Silva (WBA) Eriksen(LEI)

Giroud(new) Kane(LEI) Kun (WBA)

Total: 83.3

- For my keeper, I went with Ospina who is up against a Newcastle without the suspended Cisse. They seem toothless lately and Arsenal have been solid as well.

- In defense, I doubled up on Soton who are always reliable for CSs at home against the lesser teams. I also picked the Zouma as a cheap entry to Chelsea's defense. I think he will start given his form and the easiness of the fixture.

- In midfield, I went with Mane who basically plays as a striker and has an easy fixture. Hazard needs no explanation. I am backing City to score big against WBA who are not that solid away from home so Silva will be the architect in chief. Eriksen plays against one of the worst defenses in the league and he will have the chance to shine and shoot from distance.

- Everything Giroud touches now turns to gold and he is up against a Newcastle with a depleted defense. I don't think the midweek game will affect Arsenal's league form regardless of the outcome. Newcastle are too bad anyway. Kane will be back in the goals as Spurs try to put their worst performance of the season behind them. No better chance that Leceister at home. Aguero can't keep blanking can he. He will be in the goals as City destroy WBA to stay in 2nd place. They cannot afford more slips.

This is the team I've chosen :

Ospina
Alderweireld-Terry-Naughton
Hazard-Silva-Ozil-Sigurðsson-Mane
Kane-Giroud-Sakho

Total : 83.6

Reasons :

We start at the back with four players who I think offers great clean sheet potentials this week. To start with, Arsenal at home has enough defensive qualities to produce a clean sheet against a very mediocre Newcastle attack.

Alderweireld offers a cheap route to a fantastic Southampton defense, which certainly has more than enough defensive strength among their ranks to keep Burnley at bay. Terry and Naughton provides both clean sheet and attacking potential up against Hull and Villa respectively.

In the midfield I’ve opted for Ozil as my Arsenal midfielder of choice because I think Newcastle’s makeshift defense will leave lots of space trying to contain Sanchez and Giroud, and the German playing centrally is more than capable of exploiting that. Next is Mane, who has a plum fixture against Burnley and while Southampton haven’t been scoring much lately, but he will be pivotal if they are to. Sigurðsson also has great potential for attacking returns with his dead ball duties against a Villa side with a less than mediocre defense. The last two picks are Hazard and Silva both with decent fixtures this week and I think they’ll both be in points.

In attack, I’ve gone for Giroud who is looking hungry for goals and against a very poor Hull defense his appetite looks set to be fulfilled. Finally, both Kane and Sakho against Leicester and Sunderland respectively looks primed for returns as well. The exclusion of Aguero is due to his poor form ever since he came back from injury and up against Tony Pulis’ West Brom, I don’t see him breaking out of it.

This is my first ever post for Scout Picks article, thanks for reading it.

Gonna give this a shot.

Forster
Bert - Terry - Ivan
Hendo - Siggy - Hazard - Mane
Giroud - Aguero - Kane

Defence:

Doubling on the doubles at the back with Forster + Bert and Terry + Ivan Milat. Expecting both sides to keep a cleanie and the big man Ivan to get a goal/assist.

Mids:

Hendo, Siggy and Mane all look dangerous at the moment, and are easy cheapies to slot into any side.
Hazard is a given vsing Hull.

Forwards:

Giroud - Hitting some consistency, should slide 1 or 2 past a depleted Newcastle

Aguero - Cappy Kun is due for a haul, come on son!

Kane - Sir Harold is facing the bottom of the table team, expecting a few right bumper B finishes from the great man.

Team value: 83.7

Already got Austin, and there's no room at the top without losing Kane/Aguero and loads of value.

Delph/Sinclair worth a punt?

I have bring in Mane for Either Sterling/ Cazorla. Any suggestions?
Cazorla has rotation risk after Ramsey is back while sterling has been quite for sometime.

Hart
Iva - Bertrand - Clyne
Hazard - Ramsey - Alexis- Mane
Aguero (c) - Costa - Kane

Team Cost : 93.3

Hart: ; Playing home against West-Brom,, and with his heroic saves against the deadly 3 strikers Messi, Neymar, and Suarezm i c he can help city keeping a clean sheet.

Iva: Cheslea & premier league best defender this season..if not clean sheet, expect from him a goal or an assist.

Clyne & Bertrand: playing home against Burlney, a week offence against one of the best defense s this season, Also expect attacking returns from the full backs,

Ramsey: The Arsenal inform midfielder at the moment, Rambo is back, 2 goals and 1 assist in his last 2 games and against Newcastle, Arsenal might score a lot

Alexis: Can b explosive and score a brace, cant play without him.

Mane: Playing out of position, stiker or second striker, and being consistent in the last GWs,

Aguero: Most shots on target last GW, he wasn't lucky enough.. but the striker can score and create at any second.

Costa: Chelsea out of CL, the only remaining competition to win it is EPL ,and against Hull.. Costa will score definitely..

Kane: Home against Leicester,.the inform striker will score again..
