Scout Picks

Scout Picks – Gameweek 13

After profiling the players under consideration in our Scout Squad article, the time has come to reveal the names who have made the final selection for Gameweek 13.

As ever, the search for extra funds to afford premium options in attack has prompted us to look for value in the defensive roles.

Leicester’s Ron-Robert Zieler’s 4.4 price tag makes him an ideal enabler this week, particularly with Middlesbrough’s goal-shy attack visiting the King Power Stadium. Aitor Karanka’s troops have the Premier League’s second lowest tally of away goal attempts this season.

There’s further value to be found in Watford’s backline, with full back Jose Holebas (4.8) returning from a one-match suspension to offer potential at both ends of the pitch when Stoke City drop by on Sunday. At home, the 8.1% owned Greek is joint top in terms of shots on target among defenders.

Hector Bellerin’s injury means that the Arsenal defence also offers a budget option, with Carl Jenkinson (5.0) set to once again deputise at right back. Bournemouth visit the Emirates having scored just four goals in their six away games.

With this cheaper trio installed, we can again turn to Chelsea’s rampaging left back Marcos Alonso (6.1). The 5.2% owned Spaniard will be looking for his seventh league clean sheet in a row when Spurs pay visit on Saturday. He also offers the prospect of attacking points, with a goal and an assist since breaking into the Blues first XI in September.

We’ve stuck with Chelsea for our first midfield selection with Eden Hazard (10.2)’s home form simply impossible to ignore. He has amassed 37 FPL points in his last four games at Stamford Bridge on the back of four goals and an assist.

The 31.8% owned Belgian also has history on his side. In Spurs’ last five visits to Stamford Bride they have conceded a total of 13 goals and scored just four. Hazard has also scored in four of his last five outings against Saturday’s opponents.

We just couldn’t decide between 46.8% owned Philippe Coutinho (8.7) and Roberto Firmino (8.8) as the best Liverpool midfield option for Sunderland’s visit to Anfield. As a result, we’ve opted for them both.

Only Burnley have conceded more shots in the box than the Black Cats on the road, meanwhile, at Anfield in the league, the 18.1% owned Firmino has scored or assisted six times, while Coutinho has been involved in five goals.

Gylfi Sigurdsson (7.2) is another consistent performer with a kind fixture, as the Iceland international collides with a Crystal Palace side looking for their first league clean sheet of the campaign. The Swans’ 3.7% owned playmaker has delivered attacking points in four of the last five Gameweeks and has been involved in 60% of the Swans’ goals when on the pitch.

We’ve opted for a five-man midfield this Gameweek due to the wealth of choice across the centre of the park.  

With doubts over the fitness of  Sergio Aguero, due to a foot injury, this has given us the opportunity to select his team-mate Kevin De Bruyne (10.8) for Manchester City’s visit to Burnley.  

The 10.8% owned Belgian has registered attacking returns in all of his away trips but will need to be on top form to breach a Clarets backline that has only conceded six times at Turf Moor this season.

Our chosen strike pairing are poles apart in price but are both up against obliging defences, granting them obvious appeal.

With Aguero dropped from our selection, we take the opportunity to welcome Zlatan Ibrahimovic (11.1) back into the fold.

The Manchester United striker’s brace against Swansea in Gameweek 11, plus a promising display against Feyenoord in Europe on Thursday hints that he can reward the 25.1% of owners who have stuck by him.

The absence of influential centre-back Winston Reid through suspension for West Ham is another factor in his favour, suggesting that Ibrahimovic can earn redemption having seen his 2.4 million ownership cut in half since Gameweek 5.

Alongside him, West Brom’s Solomon Rondon offers outstanding value at 6.5 and visits a Hull City side with one of the Premier League’s worst home records.

No other team has conceded more attempts than the Tigers in home matches, with Mike Phelan’s defence shipping 11 goals at the KCOM stadium; they are also one of only two sides without a home clean sheet this season.

Meanwhile, 5.2% owned Rondon is in strong recent form, having scored and assisted during the Baggies’ impressive 4-0 victory at home to Burnley on Monday.

The Tigers’ obliging home form has prompted us to turn to West Brom centre-back Gareth McAuley (4.7) for a bench role. The 25.4% owned Northern Irishman is among an elite group of seven defenders, that also include Holebas, to have scored twice this season.

Theo Walcott (7.8) is unlucky to find himself in reserve for Sunday’s home clash with Bournemouth. Rested in midweek, we feel that the 12.3% owned England winger may just earn a start against the Cherries, who have conceded ten goals on the road in the league this season.

Swansea’s concession of 12 goals at home this term has seen us turn to Christian Benteke (7.5) for our final place on the bench.

The 6.3% owned Crystal Palace striker has notched an impressive 15 attempts in his last four league outings, giving us confidence he will be able to add to has four goals this term when he visits the Liberty Stadium. Significantly, all four of those goals have arrived in away trips.

The Community Champion

The community member who beats our picks by the biggest margin over the campaign will win a £100 Amazon Voucher and a place in our Contributors and Moderators League for the following season. The current champions to beat are VS10_ and Ziro, who have both achieved a 32-point margin of victory over us.

This week’s champion is Krul Runnings, who has opted for 3-5-2 line up of: Cech;

Jenkinson, Fuchs, Brunt; Coutinho, Firmino, Mane, Sigurdsson, Mahrez; Ibrahimovic, Giroud.

      Start Gund and save.

      Save FT. GTG.

  2. Easy Street

    Gw13 captain split should be interesting. Coutinho first, Aguero second...

    1. jernej93
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      what about Firmino and Mane? 😛

      1. Easy Street
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Nowhere near as high 😉

  3. HellasLEAF
    • 14 Years

    Kun to start yes?

    1. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yep he trained today.

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Likely, looked chirpy in training at 4pm this afternoon.

  4. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Good to go? Mane is a nice differential (C) but Firmino seems safer. There is also Sanchez to consider.

    Heaton
    Lovren Holebas Fuchs
    Mane Sanchez (v) Sigurdsson Firmino (C) Walcott
    Aguero Austin

    Bench: Pickford, Evans, Smith, Diomande

    1. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I would go Firmino for Captain. Gets forward a lot and is accurate. Good luck.

      1. Toure The Route
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Really hope Firmino delivers for people like us who are overlooking the most owned and most captained player this week.
        Can't pull off a performance where they score 4 and he gets nothing like Gw 4 . That would spark a price fall in this crazy season.

    2. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Firmino plays in the furthest position on the pitch for liverpool. Its just sense to go with him at this point

    3. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Thanks everyone. Good luck 🙂

    4. tomc990
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I have watched Liverpool quite a bit this season and I think Mane is a great captain pick (i'm biased as i have him in my team)

      Most times i watch he has 2/3 good chances a game. I think Firmino is a better finisher though.

  5. Robe Wan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Aguero has the best goals per minute ratio of ANY player EVER in the prem

    He's playing Burnley

    He's got my armband

    1. Joey Barton and Friends
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      he's also an injury risk...

      1. Robe Wan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Not really

    2. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Can't see him playing full 90. Burnley are decent at home.

    3. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Hes disappointed me enough when ive given him the armband. You won't find a more pro-aguero person thsn me but i think its time to switch up the armband choices. At least for this weeo

    4. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Not a bad call. If he gets twenty mins he could be good for double digits. All the best.

    5. jernej93
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Same Burnley which kept clean sheet against Lpool? 🙂
      The smallest pitch in Premier league, defensive formation and fighting spirit ... Burnley is pretty hard at home. It could go either way but Liverpool is more likely to score 3 or more 😉

      1. Robe Wan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Fair points but same Burnley that just shipped four to West Brom 😉

    6. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      But had he the best fantasy points per minute or per million? Hardly.

      1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Comes down to this tbh.

      2. Annie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        That's not as important

    7. the axolotl
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      he's obviously a good shout. i'm wary of burnley defence at home though, so may avoid. city could murder them though

  6. Joey Barton and Friends
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Have a feeling Sunderland will be very hard to break down tomorrow. With Spurs having injuries in defense, I think Chelsea with go to town. Hazard (c)

    1. Easy Street
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Sunderland? Hard to break down?

      Think you have the wrong team

    2. jernej93
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Sunderland has not suddenly turn into solid team, they are still below average ... Even Hull was a better team at that match IMO 🙂 They are conceding shots for fun

      1. che
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Hull was a better team? Were you at the game? Or have you been drinking?

    3. HNI
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      They concede on average of 20 shots everymatch
      Even vs hull they conceded 17!
      Tottenham are conceding more big chances recently but think they will bounce back from europa exit

      1. Joey Barton and Friends
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        yeah it's just a feeling I have and since my rank is dreadful I am going to stick with Hazard

        1. Toure The Route
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Thought something like this to keep my options open but nobody who conceed s 17 shots Vs hull can keep out this Liverpool side.
          I think Sunderland will put on a good 30-35 minutes then get destroyed in quick succession after the first goal .

          1. HNI
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Well said Toure

        2. HNI
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Feeling...no wonder you stuck at million and will continue to do so

          1. HNI
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Although Hazard has good h2h record vs Tottenham..Just dont give reasoning of 'feeling'

  7. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Team GTG? -4.

    Heaton
    Koscielny Lovren McAuley
    Sanchez Hazard Coutinho Gundogan
    Aguero Kane Anichebe

    Subs; Pickford Amat MWilson Allen

    1. Toure The Route
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Not a big fan of Anichebe as third striker in a 3-4-3 or Gundo as a fourth mid.
      Not to say they can't pop up the surprise goal but essentially it feels like you might have only 5 instead of 7 attackers if this is a high scoring week .

  8. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    anyone recalling Rooney to his team?

    1. Bleach †
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Erm.. People want green arows here..

    2. the axolotl
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      i remember when he was great

    3. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      No, wish Roopig and Trump would just go away! Neither deserve discussion (as they inevitable feature at work teabreaks!).

    4. Toure The Route
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Could be a good punt for the week honestly as long as he starts.
      He plays well Vs Hammers

  9. Swanny18
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Is it worth doing Chadli to Phillips on a FT since it looks unlikely Chadli will start against Hull?

    1. Toure The Route
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      If you have the transfer to spare , why not?
      Sounds decent for short term. Phillips is in some mood though, if he scores this game he will be a major bandwagon .
      Jump if you are chasing points ?

  10. HNI
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Just a heads up guys. Think Pep has himself captained Kun in his FPL team..Should most probably start then 😉

  11. Sillet Bang
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    What to do with Lukaku?

    Can't decide wether to ditch for Austin/Rondon

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Was going to ditch for austin this week but i saw no point in swapping when they play each other this week. Next week for sure

    2. HNI
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      He was amazing last match..surprised dint score..4 chances!

    3. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I'm holding. He can score against anyone.

    4. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      He got 2 in the same away fixture 2 years ago, I'm likely keeping.

    5. Toure The Route
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Got 2 last year in the same game^
      I think all three can score
      Better to hold

  12. In Bale We Trust
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Sorry boys, just got in. Read the AGuero news. What's the consensus? Will he play?

    1. Easy Street
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      He trained today.

    2. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      100% he playing. If so he trained, it shouldnt be a problem

    3. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      May not start but expect a cameo of twenty mins. Plenty of time for him to do damage.

      For free, maybe yes.

    Who to start?

    A) Wilson (ars)

    B) Alli (che)

    1. HNI
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Alli

    2. Toure The Route
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      50/50

  17. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    My team needs a balance.

    Grant Jaku
    Walker Koscielny Alonso Wilson Amat
    Hazard Coutinho Gundogan Allen Can
    Lukaku Aguero Costa

    Aguero + Allen >> Defoe + KDB?

    Thoughts or suicide? Will also need to upgrade my keeper eventually.

    1. HNI
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Need to get rid of one of Can/Gundo..preferably for Siggy

      1. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Is Siggy even worth getting in?

        Getting rid of Gundo/Can, I'll still need 2.0 for Siggy. I have .3 in the bank.

        Hence my suggested swap to get more spending power in the rest of my team. MF is super weak.

        Help!

    2. Toure The Route
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Keep Can for Sunderland , might pop up with a goal .
      Instead of going into KDB , better of saving some cash and getting someone cheaper to upgrade luKaku to Kane next week in time for the 3/4 plum home games.

  18. DF
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Was just about to pull the trigger on a -12. But I think I'll save FT instead.

    Aguero. Sanchez. Redmond. Walker. > lbra. KdB. Firminho. McAuley.

    What do you reckon?

    1. the axolotl
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      i reckon you need a lie down

    2. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I think Aguero, Sanchez, Redmond, Walker +12 points will outscore the latter 4.

    3. HNI
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Could be good if you better than my rank
      In al seriousness though, very bad move

    4. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Pissed ?

    5. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Nah, Sanchez usually rips it up in the early fixtures (esp as I don't have him).

      1. Toure The Route
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        This.
        Sanchez in early fixtures is seriously a thing I have noticed .
        Could this be his week ? 😮

  19. klavan
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    2FT. Thinking of long term so...
    Aguero,allen, daniels OUT
    Costa, Siggy, Alonso IN
    Yes or No?

    1. Toure The Route
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yes for sure, Costa and Alonso might get returns this week itself at this rate.

  20. JÆKS ⭐
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Anichebe or austin? Anichebe 2 mill cheaper

    1. HNI
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      By query it seems you want Anichebe..wait after Liv anyway then and reassess

    2. Toure The Route
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      actually think Anichebe is a proper third striker in a 3-4-3 and he can compete with Austin ?
      Hope this doesn't cost me if he continue his run, still bench fodder in a 3-5-2 only .

      1. Gazzpfc
        • 7 Years

        Austin scored 1 in 5 think alternate between anichebe abd 5th mid whoever is at home fixture etc. So allen/anichebe to start

      at least it's a way of livening up something fundamentally boring. strangely exciting losing money

        It's a wish, not a bet 🙂

    Lol Agüero at -70 and three arrows down. Madness 😀

      Toure 3 arrows up 😀

    2. the axolotl
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      we're about 1/3 thru the season, and so far Kun has not lived up to expectations. so not madness at all to be getting rid, fit or not.

      1. Bleach †
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Agree, nevertheless rush selling before Burnley, quite madness 😀

        1. the axolotl
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          well that's fair. i won't be selling, not yet anyway

      2. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        • 8 Years

        How is 7 goals not living up to expectation ???

        Im so confused

  25. Wild Rover

    What a game at Barnsley, Mark will be happy. Probably not by the end though 😉

    Kun&Gundo out for Costa&Siggy -4?

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I call imposter. The real Denial would never sell Aguero for a hit

      1. denial
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Huh, man I feel like an impostor this season.

        I can't get a grip. It's a bad idea isn't it?

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Sure is. Gundogen was a mistake though, doubt he'll play tomorrow

  27. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    The thing is with 352. Its a good option but what mid do you bring in thats good enough to cover the missing striking spot??

    1. Kuqi Monster
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      One things we're not short of is good midfield options

      1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Yes but can you afford to get these players in is my point

    2. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I've gone Phillips purely to catch a lift on the price rises. But not sold either way.

      Redmond would be good if he could finish or cross...

    3. Toure The Route
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I think this week a lot if strikers could score
      Austin/Lukaku , bentke , Ibra , Rondon , Defoe if Lpool screw up at the back, Kane/Costa .
      Doesn't feel like the midfielders week , Might make a stronger case for 3-5-2 going out in the coming weeks.
      Punted on it myself but Have an eerie felling.

    Hello.

    £4.6m to spend on a defender... Who is best?

    A) Evans
    B) Naughton
    C) Prodl
    D) Dawson (Hull)

    Thanks

    1. Toure The Route
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Uncomfortable to call but C or A
      C is a punt, A is much safer.
      B might emerge soon if Swansea show better form , def not now unless you have found out that Swansea are about to embark on a six week CS streak?

    I'm new to the members area here trying to get the hang of it, can anyone tell me how to find a good rotating pair of GK's ?
    I have Pickford & Jaku so looking for a good rotation with Pickford..
    Thanks chaps..

    1. Kuqi Monster
      • 13 Years

      Look at the ticker

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Use the season ticker and move the teams you fancy so that they are next to each other making it easy to see where there is a blue fixture every week

    3. tomc990
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      1. If you go to the ticker, then sort by difficulty defence, click the team of the gk you like and sort by rotation to see good fits

      2. Go to Rate my team, click players. Sort by GKs and Price (+extend gws shown) and look through manually

      3. There were some pre-season articles about gk rotation. If you use a search engine, i'm sure you could find them

      Hope that's clear(ish) I think there are some videos somewhere to help members with this, too. 🙂

        Thanks for advice lads much appreciated, I'll give it a go so..

        While we're on the subject, planning on getting Cedric in next week, what are thoughts on double up with Forester in goals ? Geeat fixtures coming up and tough nut to crack..

        1. tomc990
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          I like Cedric, indeed, he's on my radar; but a double up, i'm not so sure.

          If you use the ticker and rate my team, they fancy Southampton, but maybe not to that extent.

          Other choices: Holebas, Fuchs, Boro players. Alonso if you have the money

          1. Mulla
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            I hear ya pal, actually have Holebas & Alonso,looking to shift Evans who's fixtures turn soon,
            doing ok this season up at 50k which I'm happy with, just thinking of trying something a bit different like a defensive double up to climb the rankings, I know can be high risk/high reward or epic fail aswell lol ..

            1. tomc990
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Ah you're doing great!!

              It could be a good strategy - but quite often good defences just concede one each game rather than necessarily getting a good run of cs. That being said i'm probably getting cedric in next week myself 😛

              Evans is good for a few more weeks iirc. I would probably just wait it out for any unavoidable bandwagons.

                Cheers man,
                Yeah ur prob right get Cedric in first and play it by year anything can happen in the meantime I suppose, I do like to plan ahead though, just want good strength in depth for busy Xmas period wit inevitable rotation etc..
                Thanks for advice besta luck this wkend !

      Sanchez + Austin > Hazard + Defoe/Giroud
