The Scout Squad picks for FPL Double Gameweek 30+

After a three-month break, the Scout Squad panel have reassembled to champion the standout Fantasy Premier League picks for Double Gameweek 30+.

Regular readers will know the format of this recurring feature but for the uninitiated, staff members Andy (sitting in for the otherwise engaged Paul), David, Neale and Geoff each propose an 18-man squad of players for the approaching Gameweek and explain their notable inclusions/omissions below.

The 72 nominations listed will then be narrowed down to a squad of 15 (with the starting XI not exceeding a total cost of £85m) for the weekly Scout Picks selection ahead of Wednesday’s deadline at 17:00 BST.

There are requirements for at least one goalkeeper costing £5.0m or less, at least one sub-£5.0m defender, at least one midfielder listed at £6.5m or below and at least one forward priced at £7.5m or lower.

Each panelist is restricted to no more than three players from the same team, as is the case in FPL.

We will again be adding a captaincy to the Scout Picks, with details of that revealed on Wednesday.

DAVID SAID…

Bernd Leno and Dean Henderson are the key goalkeepers to own for Double Gameweek 30+ in my opinion.

While Arsenal’s defence is not exactly watertight, I’m expecting a hatful of saves from their shot-stopper, who has recorded 104 of them this season (the second-highest in the league).

Meanwhile, Henderson helps you buy into the Premier League’s second-best performing defence of the campaign, which I’m going for heavy reliance on.

Given everything that has gone in recent months, if I’m not going to use this opportunity to take a punt on John Lundstram, when else can I?

There is, of course, some method to my madness on this one. While the GOAT’s chances of starting both Double Gameweek matches are not what they once were, I find it hard to believe he won’t be involved somehow.

After the arrival of Sander Berge in January, Lundstram’s response was excellent, starring from the bench often enough to reclaim his starting berth for the Gameweek 29 win over Norwich.

In that game, he kept a clean sheet, assisted the winning goal and secured maximum bonus for his fifth double-figure haul of the campaign.

Given that’s what Lundstram can offer, why not take the risk on him for a Double Gameweek, especially if, like me, it’s effectively only for one round? He could be in a hungry mood when the Premier League returns, especially after bagging a brace in a recently friendly win too…

Joining Enda Stevens in my defence is Matt Doherty who, like Lundstram, offers explosive appeal but is as nailed-on as it gets. Wolves’ defence was one of the best pre-lockdown, keeping four clean sheets from a possible six between Gameweeks 24 and 29. Add into the mix that during the same period, Doherty was top among defenders for shots in the box.

Kevin De Bruyne is the key midfielder at Manchester City, almost to the point that I arguably don’t need to explain why.

It is worth saying that I’m not a fan of the other City assets in this position, mainly because Raheem Sterling, Riyad Mahrez, Leroy Sané and Bernardo Silva will all be competing for the same roles – while nobody can do what De Bruyne does for Pep Guardiola.

I’m interested in a midfielder double-up of Aston Villa players though. Jack Grealish is another obvious one given his heavy involvement this season but Anwar El Ghazi probably looks a bit odd when a lot of people are talking about John McGinn.

In a recent article, I discovered that the Scottish international’s underlying statistics even before he got injured were not quite as promising as El Ghazi’s, who has four goals and five assists to his name this season. As a regular member of Villa’s front three, he seems more likely to start both Double Gameweek 30+ games than McGinn too.

I haven’t decided whether or not I’ll have him in my own squad, but I do think we could get big things from Nicolas Pépé this week. Before lockdown he was showing an element of creativity and goal threat above what Mesut Özil was offering so I think there’s a chance he could reward those who spend the extra money on the Ivorian international – it’s just whether or not I can fit him in my own team!

Bruno Fernandes is my pick of the single Gameweek midfielders. Manchester United face a Spurs defence that was still leaky under Jose Mourinho going into lockdown, and I can’t see three months without full training improving things in that department. Meanwhile, Fernandes has been involved in five of the eight goals scored by the Red Devils since his Premier League debut and it looks like he’s on penalties too.

Sergio Aguero was the first name on my teamsheet for the Double Gameweek. I have a suspicion he will be heavily involved for Manchester City in their two matches, perhaps not even needing 90 minutes in each to perform. He had more minutes than any other member of his team’s front three in the last six matches before lockdown and was top of the league for minutes per xGI in that period too.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is someone who I have historically not trusted to deliver when I need him to, but given this could be the last Double Gameweek of the campaign and many of us have the opportunity to stick the big-guns in, why not? After all, this man was the top-scoring FPL forward last season and is only 16 points behind claiming that prize for a second campaign running.

I am expecting big things from the Wolves forward line for the remainder of the season, especially as it’s West Ham up next. I’ve gone with a double-up on Raúl Jiménez and Diogo Jota here as they both netted three times each between Gameweeks 24 and 29.

NEALE SAID…

There won’t be many Manchester City players who will last all 180 minutes of their Gameweek 30+ double-header against Arsenal and Burnley, but Ederson will – barring injury or suspension – be one of them.

It’s not often I advocate a premium shot-stopper in this article series or consider one for my own FPL squad but I’m doing so here, with the Brazilian accompanying Bernd Leno and Dean Henderson in my goalkeeping picks.

City’s defence has been lamentable at times this season but they now have Aymeric Laporte primed and ready for action, and what a difference he makes to Pep Guardiola’s backline: coincidence or otherwise, the three league matches he has started in 2020 were the only ones that City kept a clean sheet in.

Laporte has Double Gameweek pedigree himself but, after such a long lay-off, I do wonder whether we might see his minutes managed in the form of early substitutions (as happened earlier this year) and I’d be a mite concerned about whether he’d miss out on any shut-out points as a result.

I don’t think there are many “bad” City picks this week.

I doubt whether many of their attacking assets will be handed successive starts but, even then, a lot of their players will surely get somewhere near 90 minutes or more over the two Gameweek 30+ matches combined.

In any other normal Gameweek, the likes of Riyad Mahrez, Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling would factor into many of our thoughts if we knew they were set for around a full game’s worth of pitch-time.

We can only own three City players though and I’ve gone predictably dullard with Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne.

The Belgian’s only benching in 2019/20 came in the Gameweek 5 defeat at Norwich City and he even started every match during the busy December period, so fingers crossed he can cope with the rigours of two fixtures in a generous five-day period this time around.

Aguero, while likely to share game-time with Jesus, has the best goals-per-90-minutes average (0.99) among active Premier League players this season.

Double Gameweek players unsurprisingly make up more than half of my 18-man squad this time.

Enda Stevens and John Egan complete a Sheffield United defensive triple-up with Henderson, with Stevens’ open-play threat (no Bladesman has created more big chances this season) and Egan’s presence at dead-ball situations (Villa and Newcastle are the two worst teams for set-piece attempts conceded in 2019/20) getting them the nod.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Jack Grealish offer both a relative security of starts and a talismanic role in their respective sides, while Mbwana Samatta looks a real threat in the air – at least, when Villa can be bothered to provide adequate service to him.

Onto those players with only one fixture in Gameweek 30, then.

Liverpool assets seem to be the makeweights for many of us as we shift funds around to accommodate the likes of Aguero, Aubameyang and Sterling but there will be unease at moving on players who have served us so well.

Sadio Mane, for example, could well have a field day down Everton’s right; Djibril Sidibe’s defensive shortcomings were woefully exposed in Gameweek 29 and the unconvincing Michael Keane looks set to play as the right-sided centre-back in Yerry Mina’s absence.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Matt Doherty are two premium defenders I’ve plumped for despite not being 100% sure about clean sheet-wise: Everton have been revitalised as an attacking force under Carlo Ancelotti and West Ham looked much more potent when David Moyes moved to a 4-4-2 before COVID-19 stopped play.

Those two players offer so much more than shut-out points, however, having racked up key passes and shots galore in 2019/20 so far.

You’ll notice a distinct lack of representation from Villa’s defence in my squad despite their Double Gameweek and I’ve even gone so far as to actively back against them.

Christian Pulisic is someone I’ve got my eye on based on his quietly impressive stats but he doesn’t (yet) quite offer the guarantee of minutes that Mason Mount does, so I’ve gone with the teacher’s pet option.

Mount has played a part in every single Chelsea game this season, starting all bar four of them, and continues to be involved at dead-ball situations, which could be pertinent based on the Villans’ aforementioned vulnerability at free-kicks and corners.

Ismaila Sarr‘s remarkable home record under Nigel Pearson (seven attacking returns in five games) also sees the influential winger make the cut – although I’m slightly less convinced about his prospects given that a raucous Vicarage Road crowd won’t be able to contribute to the cauldron atmosphere that saw Watford beat Liverpool in Gameweek 28.

ANDY SAID…

I’ve gone back and forth over John Lundstram. I can’t be sure of a first XI starting place, but I can be sure I’m sick of being punished by him. He may get just one start and a bench appearance but that might be all he needs to outscore the other Sheffield United defenders.

In their last six matches only four forwards have taken as many shots in the box as Oliver McBurnie. With a total of five big chances in the same period I’m gambling on him getting points against two of the worst defensive sides in the league when it comes to conceding shots.

Kieran Tierney has not had the greatest start to his Arsenal career with injuries hampering his first season at the club. He’s now seemingly fit, and has started both behind-closed-door training games. It might be something different to the standard Leno pick in goal, and maybe we’ll finally see the player who returned five assists in just 20 league games for Celtic last season.

Continuing to bet against an Aston Villa defence that has conceded the most shots this season, I’ve gone for a single Gameweek option in Mason Mount. Chelsea are a team I’m backing for goals and I’ve gone for what I hope to be one of the attackers we can be more sure might start.

If there’s any week I feel I might be able to go without Liverpool players, it’s this one. However, I’ve said that before and was quickly made to regret not owning Trent Alexander-Arnold. He’s second for chances created this season, not for defenders, out of every single FPL player. It’s a risk to back against, and he’s one of the best single Gameweek defender options out there.

Trying to find an Arsenal attacker not called Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who has a chance of starting both Double Gameweek games is difficult. He’s the obvious choice here and will be looking to add to his 17-goal tally so far. Manchester City will provide difficult opposition but if anyone can nick a goal, it’s him.

Raheem Sterling finds himself in the squad as a gut feeling pick. It’s impossible to guess what Pep Guardiola is thinking but behind Kevin De Bruyne I feel that Sterling has the next best chance of starting both games. Second only to Mohamed Salah for expected goal involvement this season, it’s about time he started regressing to the mean. A nice long break should see him fit and ready to go for Project Restart, and he’s my third Manchester City pick alongside De Bruyne and Sergio Aguero.

The Teemu Pukki party started off in flying fashion this season but came to a halt in the last 11 games where he only scored twice. The Norwich squad have now had a chance to re-group and think about how they’re going to get out of this relegation battle. To do that they’ll need goals and I’m confident Pukki will go back to delivering, just behind my pick of Raúl Jiménez, who’s about as consistent as it gets.

No midfielder has a better points-per-match score than Bruno Fernandes. It’s based on a small sample size but he’s shown he has the quality to deliver. Taking two penalties in one of the behind-closed-door games gives me confidence he will retain them even after missing one. With Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford fit as well, I’d hope that Manchester United will continue where they left off with a win against Spurs.

GEOFF SAID…

I’m not sure home and away fixtures will impact on performances based on what we have seen in the Bundesliga and elsewhere, and my top two goalkeepers have four games on the road in Gameweek 30+ between them: Dean Henderson and Bernd Leno.

My first single Gameweek pick is Leicester’s Kasper Schmeichel, who could well keep out Watford: the Foxes have the third-best defensive record in the league this season.

Aymeric Laporte looks to be the standout defender and City have a nice clean sheet record when he plays. He’s joined by Enda Stevens and John Egan, who along with Henderson give me a rare defensive triple-up.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Romain Saiss, who offer the prospect of returns at both ends of the pitch, are my second and third single Gameweek players.

Kevin De Bruyne is the best midfield pick and is followed, for me, by Jack Grealish. John McGinn has been given a vote of confidence but I think he will player fewer minutes than Grealish; he still makes it into my picks.

Todd Cantwell is my budget midfield pick over Sheffield’s John Fleck, and Bruno Fernandes just beats out Nicolas Pépé for inclusion.

Sergio Aguero and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang look easily the top two forward picks and it will be a brave manager who goes without them for the double.

Mbwana Samatta could perform well for Villa, and he’s followed by early-season favourite in the shape of Teemu Pukki.

Finally, Mason Greenwood is a fantastic price and should see increased game time for the final stretch of the season, along with a superb scoring record.

With only seven single Gameweek picks I’ve nearly gone for a full complement of Double Gameweekers – the only things stopping me are questions over Arsenal defending and midfield selections.

With uncertain form after a long time away, I think the security and upside potential upside of two fixtures is worth chasing in Double Gameweek 30+.

      If you haven't got your WC, don't do it.
      You'll need to get rid of your 3 defenders and 3 midfielders

        I've got the wildcard to use for next week and free hit later down the line- possibly GW 32 for that

    seen people talking about using their transfers to set up for gw 31 then free hitting.

    won't the free hit undo any free transfers (usually it would reset to the previous deadline), or is this an exception? apologies if already discussed.

    1. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yes, FH will undo the unlimited free transfers.

      1. No Professionals

        i'm sure i have heard people discussing this as an option... must have gotten it wrong.

    2. No Professionals

      to clarify, free hitting in gw30

      1. Pellegrini Falcon
        • 9 Years

        Oh, then yeah FH in 30 would undo the transfers

    3. Pellegrini Falcon
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      The FH will be used in 31 so the squad should reset to 30, which has the unlimited transfers

      1. tim

        Would you use transfers and BB for long term team or FH this week?

        If FH it would leave me with this class of GW38 after FH

    Mahrez, KDB, Grealish, El Ghazi, Saka
    Auba, Kun, Pukki*

    1. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I would skip the Villa defense altogether. Leno + Henderson, Stevenson, SGW defender (Stephens, Cahill, Aarons, Lascelles?), Jota/Pukki.

      1. Karhumies
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Also Duda/Cantwell over Saka IMO.

  6. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Hey all, thoughts on this non chip team? Making use of unlimited transfers I have only lost 0.5 in squad value and retain WC, FH and BB. I can then FH in 31 and then WC 32 after Liverpool (probably) clinch the league which gives me a great squad for the last six games.

    Leno
    Trent / Egan / Lund
    KDB / Sterling / Grealish / Fleck
    Aguero / Auba / Jota

    Saka plus cheap fodder

    1. Kuzser
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Good squad, pretty standard

  7. Jotangs
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts? Only chip I have Is TC... Also keep in mind im an Arsenal fan so I don't want my team to conflict too much with me wanting Arsenal to win....

    Leno/McCarthy

    TAA-Doherty-Lund (Tangana, B Williams)

    Bruno-Son-Fleck-KDB -Martial

    Jimenez-Auba (TC) (Nketiah)

    1. Jotangs
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Edit: This is an End of Season so I chose players from teams with favourable run ins.

    2. jackx13
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'd TC KDB but... 😀 You think Nketiah will start both or at least one? If not I'd get that Villa guy looks more nailed on. Rest looks decent.

      1. Jotangs
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        He started the last 3 games under Arteta before lockdown and also scored a hat trick in a Friendly. I mean for me he was just a cheap striker with a dgw but he could start for us and with 5 subs he defo see a lot of game time.

    3. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'd upgrade Tanganga into someone who is fit to play. You need a large bench of regular starters because after 3 months break, there will be a ton of injuries.

      1. Jotangs
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I chose him as I really wanted a Tottenham defender as they have favourable fixtures. I don't really play the money/value game like that so I can only hope he gets fit soon. I'm also hopeful that none of my starting defenders will get injured.

        1. Karhumies
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Tottenham have the least CS this season though. They are tied with Villa and Bournemouth at 4 each. Even Norwich has managed 5 so far. Injured Tottenham/Villa/Bournemouth def is therefore not something I'd invest in when there are unlimited free transfers available.

      If no BB chip, why do you have 2 keepers? I’d get 3.9 keeper & use cash to upgrade 4th defender

  8. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Which on is better option?

    Alonso & Mahrez

    Laporte & Mount

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A short term
      B long term

      3 years, 9 months ago

      Thanks all

  9. McSauce
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    A) Saka & sterling
    B) Pepe & Mahrez

    1. LLoris
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      B

  10. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Which raises another question. What is the maximum lost squad value that can be justified by making use of unlimited transfers in order to preserve FH or BB?

  11. joshFPL
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    BB team:

    Leno - Henderson

    Egan - Lundstram - TAA - Targett - Soyuncu

    Barnes - McGinn - Gealish - KdB - Sterling

    Auba - Nketiah - Aguero

    Nketiah more of an enabler but might get some minutes, looks in good form based on friendly match last week. TAA, Soyuncu and Barnes already in my team so keeping them to retain their value or for upcoming fixtures.

    Thoughts?

      I just feel that Salah loves a big headline occasion like the return of the premier league. But there's not a lot in it I reckon.

      Depends who you have in your team currently?

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Usual DGWers and TAA

  14. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Gonna be stuck with them for a few GWs:

    A) Sterling
    B) Kun

    1. Aubaaaaa
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Kun

    2. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A if sane is back but of course you need to monitor this and he might won't play lots of mins till the end so I'll go with the safe B

  15. Kabayan
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    A. Pepe + Mahrez + TAA + 4.4
    B. Pepe + Mahrez + Doherty + Chilwell
    C. Saka/Cantwell + Sterling + TAA + PVA

    1. joshFPL
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A if you want to put 4.4 on bench

      1. Kabayan
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Should add for BB team and have WC

  16. Kuzser
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    This is my current team:
    Pope (Krul)
    Taa Egan Doherty - Awb Taylor
    Salah Kdb Bruno Doucure -Saka
    Auba Jota Dcl

    What would you guys do with FH and BB available?
    1) FH this week and get back to the team above for GW31

    2) Finetune the current team and get smth like this for BB in GW30 (9 DGW), then FH 31
    Leno-Reina
    TAA-Egan-Doherty-Baldock-Lascelles
    KDB-Grealish-Bruno-Mount -Saka
    Auba-Kun-Jota

  17. El Tel
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    BB team with no wildcard.

    Leno* Henderson*
    Alonso Doherty Maguire Targett* Egan*
    Sarr Pulisic Sterling* Grealish* McGinn*
    Aguero* Rashford Jiminez

    8 doubles but trying to keep a balance for future weeks.

    Son for Sterling next week and an eye on upgrading either McGinn or Grealish.

    Thoughts?

  18. Aubaaaaa
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Got no WC. Which pair would you prefer?
    A. Sarr Saiss
    B. Barnes Boly

    1. El Tel
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A

    2. Mufc202020
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A

  19. JELLYFISH
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on this BB team guys? (TC, HF, WC in hand)

    Leno Ramsdale
    TAA Lascelles Lundstram Saiss Egan
    Mane Grealish KDB Cantwell Bruno
    Auba McBurnie Kun

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Ramsdale to Krul
      Fernandes to Mahrez

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks mate but I'm sticking with KDB for my Citeh MFD cover and want to hold on to Bruno.
        Cant't stretch the extra 0.1 for Krul unfortunately but Bournemouth have a good home fix

    2. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Looks great! There could be some rotation from Sheffield forwards, but McBurnie is still probably better than Samatta or Nketiah.

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks mate. I would have liked Samatta but am 0.1 short so McBurnie is it is....

      2. trinzoo
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        McBurnie: 4 goals, no assist the whole season.

  20. Mufc202020
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Last one today

    A) Sterling, Stevens, Saka, Tammy
    B) Fernandes, Egan, Mount, Jesus

    One week only and planning to start all of them! Thanks!!

    1. McSauce
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Think A, not sure Jesus will get both games

      1. Mufc202020
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        My thoughts about Jesus is that if I have him and aguero then I’m guaranteed atleast 180 minutes between them!

    2. LLoris
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A

    3. El Tel
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A because I'm not keen on Jesus. Not keen on Saka either but he's cheaper

  21. McSauce
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts?

    A) Saka | Sterling | Mount
    B) Pepe | Mahrez | Fleck

    1. Mufc202020
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A!!

      1. McSauce
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        ye leading towards A but I like both! I like Pepe over saka but I prefer sterling to mahrez and I like Mount

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A

  22. LLoris
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Please help I don't know which to pick just
    GW 30 BB Team:

    A) Patricio Lund Targett Barnes
    B) Patricio O'connell Justin El Ghazi
    C) Reina O'connell Justin Barnes

    Who do you think will score more pts

    1. El Tel
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A

  23. Sloane426
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Mendy a good pick for bb?

    1. LLoris
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not imo

    2. El Tel
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      No

    3. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Better City players to include in your team than Mendy

  24. No Professionals
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    my team without any free transfers is:

    Pope
    TAA Egan Saiss
    Salah KDB Bruno Barnes
    Vardy Jimenez DCL

    McCarthy Saka CTaylor Tanganga
    2.1m ITB

    feels like a decent GW31 team. I have no wildcard. Make sense to free hit in GW30?

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      FH this week yes

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        thanks, feels wrong not to use the transfers, but setting up for DGW would leave me in a mess i think

  25. cjhewitt92

    3 years, 9 months ago

    Not sure if this question has been answered. Do we expect the name of Norwich player self isolating to be made public. Also as season goes on will players who test positive for covid be named

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not before deadline, no. Might be some privacy reasons as to why the name won't be disclosed

  26. Fernandito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Reina Leno
    TAA Stevens O'Connell Lascelles Boly
    Sterling KDB Fleck Grealish Mount
    Auba Aguero Nketiah

    A. Sterling Reina Stevens Nketiah
    B Fernandes Ederson Egan Jota

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Prefer B

    2. Jotangs
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      B

      IMO sterling is not worth the risk/money

    3. DAVESAVES
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      B here top

  27. DAVESAVES
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Best of these two? Basically between Raz or Auba.

    1)) Sterling, Samatta, Stevens, Boly/Targett

    2)) Auba, El Ghazi, Laporte, O’Connell

  28. Astronautovic
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Which one for the last places in my team?
    A) McCarthy saiss mahrez mcburnie
    B) ederson david luiz fleck ings

    I would loose 0.5 if i sell ings.

  29. Rocky FPL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on this?

    A) Hendo, Walker
    B) Ederson, Basham

    A more potential for points, B more secured to get minutes. Which one would you go for?
