Salah returns to Scout Picks for FPL Gameweek 19

Mohamed Salah (£12.2m) makes an immediate return to the Scout Picks team for Gameweek 19.

After a week off, the Liverpool man comes back to the team ahead of a trip to Leicester.

We have also selected a Sheffield United double-up and chosen two players who will feature at Villa Park on Boxing Day.

With such a tight turnaround between Gameweeks, there was no Scout Squad article this week.

Instead, the Scout Picks XI was chosen by the Fantasy Football Scout editorial team.

We line up in the classic 3-4-3 formation, coming in at £82.0m, £1.0m inside our budget £83.0m.

Goalkeeper

Dean Henderson (£4.8m) is the first of our Sheffield United defensive double-up. Over the last four matches, no side in the Premier League has allowed fewer big chances than the Blades while Watford are still in the division’s bottom three for shots in the box, big chances and shots on target in away matches this season.

Defenders

Djibril Sidibé (£5.3m) is our representative from the Everton defence as they host Burnley. The Clarets come into Gameweek 19 bottom of the league for shots on target in away matches this season. Furthermore, over his last four outings, Sidibé has played the same number of key passes as colleague Lucas Digne but two of these have led to big chances while none have come from the left-back. His propensity to fashion higher quality chances may be why Sidibé has three assists since Gameweek 11 while Digne has just one.

John Lundstram (£5.2m) completes our Sheffield United double-up ahead of Gameweek 19. We’ve already covered the clean sheet potential for the Blades but, as we know by now, there are always opportunities for returns at the other end of the pitch with Lundstram. He has produced an attacking return in three of his last four at Bramall Lane.

Martin Kelly (£4.4m) is our chosen representative from the Crystal Palace defence on Boxing Day, who also offers greater spending elsewhere. They have kept three clean sheets in their last five and face a West Ham side that has blanked in three of their last five road-trips.

Midfielders

The Complete Guide to FPL Gameweek 18

Salah looks ready to burst back onto the Fantasy scene in a big way in Gameweek 19. Over his last four matches, the Egyptian is top of the league for shots in the box, joint-second for big chances and second for shots on target. That impressive form has yielded back-to-back double-figure hauls and we could see something similar on Boxing Day. Leicester’s defence has done well this year but we saw in Gameweek 18 that they are capable of conceding a few times when playing elite-level competition – a category that Salah certainly falls into.

Kevin de Bruyne (£10.4m) has been in exceptional form over the last two matches, producing four attacking returns in that time. Even dropped back into a slightly deeper role on paper when Manchester City hosted Leicester, the Belgian often pushed up behind the front-three acting as a number 10. Having recorded the third-most shots on target in the league over his last four, as well as the second-highest number of key passes, de Bruyne is showing the sort of form that suggests he can still deliver against a mean Wolves defence.

Dele Alli (£8.8m) has become the go-to Spurs attacking asset after Son Heung-min’s ill-judged actions against Chelsea. While he blanked on Sunday afternoon, a home meeting with Brighton is the perfect opportunity for Alli to get back in the goals. The Seagulls come to north London having conceded at least twice in four of their last six away matches. Meanwhile, Alli is still averaging 6.8 points per game under Jose Mourinho.

Jack Grealish (£6.3m) has been a solitary bright spark for Aston Villa in recent weeks, adding his third goal in five Gameweeks in the 3-1 defeat to Southampton. Also in the mix for penalty kicks, Grealish faces a Norwich defence with one clean sheet in nine. Furthermore, in that time, they have conceded at least twice in all but two matches.

Forwards

Adding his 17th goal of the season against Manchester City, it’s getting harder and harder to leave Jamie Vardy (£10.1m) out of the Scout Picks. After rewarding us with nine points in Gameweek 18, the Leicester man receives our backing once again as Liverpool come to the King Power Stadium. Over his last four, Vardy is inside the top four for shots in the box, big chances and shots on target, suggesting once again that his form is sustainable. Meanwhile, Liverpool’s defensive potential may take a slight knock from the travelling required to participate in Qatar’s Club World Cup competition and they are still yet to keep a clean sheet against any other side in this season’s top four anyway.

Tammy Abraham (£7.9m) may have blanked in four of his last five starts but a home match against Southampton looks like a good chance for him to get back in the goals. The Saints come to Stamford Bridge without a clean sheet since Gameweek 5 and Abraham himself has registered 13 shots in the box over his last four, second only to Salah.

The Christmas party you attend this year could very well be hosted by Teemu Pukki (£6.6m) as he continues to show some resurgence. Over his last four, the Norwich striker is in the Premier League’s top five for shots in the box, big chances and shots on target, with two goals to show for it as well. On Boxing Day, Pukki faces an Aston Villa defence in disarray that has allowed more shots in the box and big chances than any other top-flight side in the last four Gameweeks.

Substitutes

Vicente Guaita (£5.1m) is an alternative route into the Crystal Palace defence.

Serge Aurier (£5.1m) could be an important outlet for Spurs against Brighton in Gameweek 19.

While Aston Villa’s defence has been hugely lacking in recent weeks, Matt Targett (£4.4m) has shown signs of offensive potential which could be brought to the fore against Norwich’s equally poor back-line.

Todd Cantwell (£4.8m) represents a cheaper route into the Norwich attack which we expect to have plenty of joy against Villa’s out-of-form defence.

The Captain

The Scout Picks has a captain for the 2019/20 campaign.

This skipper is chosen using the conclusions of the latest Captain Sensible article and a four-way vote between David, Neale, Paul and Geoff.

Because the use of Fantasy Football Scout data is used so heavily in this process, the captain we choose each Gameweek will be known only to those who have signed up to Membership for the 2019/20 season.

It will be revealed to the public only when the deadline for the Gameweek has passed.

Here’s how we voted for Gameweek 19: 

Community Champion

Representing the community against the Scout Picks in Gameweek 19 is FPL_SMR.

Their team will be confirmed in due course.

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.

Community Champion Mince n Tatties was defeated in Gameweek 18, the Scout Picks winning by a 49-39 scoreline.

The current winning margin of 17 points recorded by irfansheikh in Gameweek 7 and AK in Gameweek 10 remains the score to beat.

      I think you will need Pogba there.

      Henderson is a poor pick if not paired with another GK.

      Grealish is a poor pick after Boxing day. I wouldn't go near Aurier with a 10 foot pole.

      1. Hits from the Bong
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Agree with all this

      2. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I will use my FT next week to move Henderson, have him atm and WAT is a nice fixture for him

        Who do you suggest as Aurier alternative, same price or less?

  2. Klaren
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I’ve just realised Martial hasn’t started on Boxing Day games in the last 3 years. Is it safer to play Jimenez over him based on that?

    1. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Any reason as to why he hasnt?

      1. Klaren
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        He was ill last year and rested the year before but wasn’t in squad at all.

        He actually did start 3 years ago though, sorry was mistaken about that one.

      D

    3. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      E although I have Traore, Pukki myself in those slots now

      1. Tempestic
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        do like the look of Pukki but really only for this week so a bit short term

        1. Karhumies
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Mane, KDB, Alli, Grealish, Vardy, Abraham you can "always play". So my current strategy is to choose Pukki vs 5th mid (Traore for me) who is the 8th attacker on a week-by-week basis. For that explosive differential role, Pukki has great hat trick potential.

          1. Tempestic
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Hmm its an interesting one to consider and i was looking at it earlier. Was trying to find someone he rotates well with in the midfield, had a look at Sarr from watford but unsure on his goal scoring record in the past so it put me off a little.

            1. Karhumies
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              They don't have to rotate "perfectly". Pukki has already scored vs Liverpool, MCity, Leicester, Chelsea AND Arsenal this season. So whenever the fixture is "bad" for both Pukki and 5th mid simultaneously, my plan is to just play Pukki and hope for the best. It's just that his hat trick potential needs team support, which needs a weak opponent, which is why I am captaining him vs Villa.

  5. Gooner97
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Buy one:

    A) Pogba
    B) Rich
    C) Maddison

    1. nolard
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      c

    2. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'm in this situation also and feel like C is the best option but it feels wrong buying against liverpool

      1. Gooner97
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Well, maybe that's not the case this time

      2. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        A for the fixtures and potential. If it doesn't work out then C.

      Traore

      Think West Ham will score. Not sure about Liverpool, but I think they could put in a really good performance. They will be very motivated for sure.

      Think Traore can cause City problems (again)

    5. Wild Rover

      I’m benching Maddison and playing Kelly because I have to (Chilwell and Rico) but I would play Maddison rather than Kelly in a back four

    6. Akeem

      I prefer B.

      You can switch Kane to Vardy in the New Year. I fancy him to miss GW20 and I don't think Kane will. But I would rebalance you midfield and defence. Try to Salah instead of Mane (personal preference).

    3. fajmonkey

    Happy Christmas!!

    It’s quite interesting I’ve done this poll a couple of times now, one time I’ve got loads of 2s and thought that’s the way to go then got a few 1s... it’s really hard to gauge the best wildcard.

        Hmmm just realised they are not the same price

      2. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah don’t have the funds otherwise would

    2. fantasyfog
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      both look good but I'd say 2 edges it for me

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years

        I’m swaying that way, thanks for commenting

    1. Whazza

      Can't say I'd WC that, is Willems expected to start though?

      1. Rash
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I'm not sure but I know soy will come in for him.

  22. Igz08
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Scout picks is literally my team bar one player. That’s probably a bad sign

    Have Mousset up front and Janmaat in defence

    A) Janmaat -> Holgate (leaves me money for Abraham -> Kane)
    B) Janmaat -> Digne/Sidibe
    (Upstage Mousset -> Jimenez next week)

    1. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Are we sure Holgate is nailed under Ancelotti?

      1. Igz08
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Not sure of anything tbh

  23. FOO FIGHTER

    Button Cantwell Dunk Rico

    GTG?

  24. nolard
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I'd get one LIV midfielder only, Salah.

    Also, Aurier is not good. get someone else. Docherty?
    So, for me 2, with Salah, Alli/maddison, KDB, Grealish, Cantwell.

    1. nolard
      • 9 Years

      that was a reply to saltybollocks above

  25. Whazza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4 years, 3 months ago

    Sterling a good captain choice this week? Expecting Pep wanting revenge on Wolves having lost 2-0 at home. He has also scored like 8 of his 9 goals away this season and is usually rested in "easy" home games from what I recall.. SHU won't be easy next but perhaps that's when he rests?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling has been a massive cap fail this season.

      1. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Pretty much, three double-digit returns only. City are looking quite good now though so wondering if him to Salah vs Lei is actually worth the FT or do it next week

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I have had Salah from the start and would not trade him for any player.

          KDB is the City asset to have. Too many cooks spoiling the broth with Pep.

          1. Whazza
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Salah the better option no question. But WOL-MCI could be a goalfest imo, not sure about LEI-LIV, might be tight

            1. Hits from the Bong
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Wolves rarely have goalfests

              1. Whazza
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                They attack though as do City. Lei will sit back vs Pool I think

                1. Whazza
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  What I'm trying to say is stakes are high in the Pool game so could be low-scoring

                  1. Hits from the Bong
                    • 5 Years
                    4 years, 3 months ago

                    Or maybe Leicester Liverpool will be faster and more direct with chances galore. While Wolves and City pass each other to death and bore us all to tears

                    1. Whazza
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 11 Years
                      4 years, 3 months ago

                      Fair enough, I should just get Salah and C him I guess

                      1. Hits from the Bong
                        • 5 Years
                        4 years, 3 months ago

                        I will if you do

    2. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I think he doesn’t really get rested while on 4 yellow cards, as he could be banned for the next match. Call me crazy but I suspect he wanted to get to 4 for that reason

      1. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Good point! Don't think that was his plan though haha

        1. Hits from the Bong
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Wouldn’t be surprised. When he got to 4 I thought he wouldn’t be rested until the suspension, I’m sure he did too

          1. Hits from the Bong
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Still wouldn’t captain him though. I Did about 8 times in a row from GW2, painful.

          2. Whazza
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            The one time he got rested though they won 8-0. It's not like he's been amazing this season either so shouldn't probably play Pep roulette with the C.. but maybe one more game 🙂

            1. Hits from the Bong
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              I’d get rid. Watch him be rested now :-p

              1. Whazza
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Watch him score a hattrick if I get rid, while Salah misses a pen lol
