The Scout Squad’s best players for FPL Double Gameweek 27

Double Gameweek 26 may not yet be over but the Scout Squad panel are already looking ahead to the weekend’s fixtures.

This is the fourth Double Gameweek in a row for Fantasy managers but with only Manchester City and an out-of-form Southampton playing twice, there is an ‘after the Lord Mayor’s show’ feel to it.

Predictably, all four of our regulars have gone for City triple-ups – but each panelist has opted for a unique combination of players from Pep Guardiola’s side.

For those new to this feature, Fantasy Football Scout editor David, deputy editor Neale, video content manager Andy and Pro Pundit Tom each put forward an 18-man long-list of players and explain their notable inclusions and omissions below.

The assets listed will then be narrowed down to a squad of 15 (with the starting XI not exceeding a total cost of £83.0m) for the weekly Scout Picks selection ahead of the FPL deadline at 11:00 GMT on Saturday.

In each writer’s squad, there are requirements for at least:

  • One goalkeeper costing £5.0m or less
  • One sub-£5.0m defender
  • One midfielder listed at £6.5m or below
  • One forward priced at £7.5m or lower

Each panelist is also 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 Friday.

DAVID SAID

Ederson and João Cancelo are my picks from the Manchester City defence in Double Gameweek 27.

The goalkeeper is always nailed-on to start while Cancelo’s rest against West Ham stands him in good stead for significant minutes in each of the next two.

Manchester United have orchestrated 0-0 draws in five of their last six matches against the so-called ‘big six’ while Southampton are joint-bottom for goals scored over their last six matches (four).

Trent Alexander-Arnold continues to slowly claw his way back onto the Fantasy radar having created three big chances across his last six (at the time of writing). Only three players have fashioned more of these chances over the same period while Liverpool’s Gameweek 27 opponents Fulham have blanked in five of their last nine Premier League outings.

Crystal Palace are arguably in worse offensive form, with just one goal in their last five matches, which bodes well for the Spurs defence on Sunday evening. Serge Aurier is my chosen option.

The out-of-position Ainsley Maitland-Niles could enjoy his Gameweek 27 meeting with Newcastle. West Bromwich Albion have clean sheets in each of their last two matches while the Magpies will be without both Allan Saint-Maximin and Miguel Almirón until April.

I’ve gone with Sadio Mané over Mohamed Salah for Liverpool’s meeting with Fulham. In the last six matches, they have both produced the same number of shots in the box but the Senegalese international has offered more assist potential, with 16 key passes to Salah’s four.

Jesse Lingard is joint-top of the Premier League for shots on target over the last four matches, while Michail Antonio ranks second for big chances. That’s why I’m backing both against Leeds.

Harry Kane and Gareth Bale could enjoy a hatful of chances when they face Crystal Palace. The Eagles are the third-worst side for expected goals conceded (xGC) over the last six matches.

NEALE SAID

Three Gameweek 26 fixtures are still to be played at the time of writing and I may be taking the eraser to some of my above picks after the completion of Thursday’s matches.

Harry Kane is the only ‘nailed’ selection in my Spurs triple-up, for example, and I’ll wait to see what team Jose Mourinho puts out against Fulham, and how many minutes his star performers rack up, before finalising the other two.

I’d love to be able to select Serge Aurier and Gareth Bale without fear of a benching, as Crystal Palace have allowed the most chances to be conceded from their left flank when clubs are filtered by their last six matches. Bale’s superb showing against Burnley whetted my appetite further and the prospect of him coming up against Patrick van Aanholt is an appealing one — but doubts of course remain over whether his body is up to the rigours of three games in a week.

There is similar uncertainty about Curtis Jones, with Liverpool entertaining Chelsea on Thursday and the youngster an obvious rotation risk.

Much has been made of Jurgen Klopp’s recent formation tweak and its repercussions for Sadio Mane (more central), Mohamed Salah (wider) and their two full-backs but there has perhaps been less talk over the benefit to Jones, who was as advanced as any of the above players in an inside-forward role and who topped the shot count against Sheffield United.

On the subject of efforts on goal, Kelechi Iheanacho has been outshooting Jamie Vardy by seven attempts to one since the pair hooked up as a strike pairing at the start of Gameweek 26. A swift James Maddison comeback would perhaps jeopardise his chances of starting this weekend but, should the England international remain out, then there is little competition for Iheanacho’s place when Leicester visit Brighton.

The Seagulls have been racking up some seriously good underlying defensive numbers of late and the strong odds are that it’ll be a low-scoring game at the Amex, so I’m hedging my bets with a Lewis Dunk pick. Given Leicester’s propensity for conceding goals from set plays, the Albion stopper could prosper at both ends of the field.

The visit of a defensively unpredictable Leeds side – a respectable eight clean sheets is offset by the Whites shipping 2.4 goals per match in which they do concede – warrants a West Ham double-up in the dangerous Michail Antonio and the hugely impressive Jesse Lingard.

One of the few midfielders who can better Lingard for attempts on goal since his January move to east London, Pedro Neto, also gets the nod as an improved Wolves prepare to face an Aston Villa side struggling for consistency this year. Add in the fact that Neto looks set to be up against Ahmed Elmohamady, who drifted off to allow David McGoldrick to score on Wednesday, and the young Portuguese schemer could enjoy his afternoon in the West Midlands.

Finally, onto my City triple-up. Ruben Dias‘ track record as the surest starter in Pep Guardiola’s defence results in his selection over the more exciting Joao Cancelo, while I’m hoping the fact that Ilkay Gundogan has just had a breather in midweek counts in his favour in Gameweek 27.

Such is the uncertainty elsewhere, I’ve also plumped for Ederson. Assured of two starts, the Brazilian will likely have a ceiling of 12 points given that the solid backline in front him rarely allows him be kept busy. But, after the events of Double Gameweek 26, how many of us would take that score right now for any of our City assets?

TOM SAID…

Manchester City have now won their last 21 games in all competitions and though it’s hard to pinpoint exactly which of their outfield assets will be handed successive starts in Gameweek 27, tripling-up is a no-brainer. To be honest, I don’t think there are many ‘bad’ City picks this week, but I’ve opted for João Cancelo, plus midfielders Kevin De Bruyne and İlkay Gündoğan.

Since returning from injury, De Bruyne hasn’t found his top level but still produced a superb assist against West Ham United and went close to scoring in midweek. With his ability to create chances out of nothing, he’s the standout captaincy option in my opinion. However, Gündoğan isn’t far behind, and encouragingly does seem to be getting into the box just as much when paired with the Belgian.

Meanwhile, West Bromwich Albion are now unbeaten in three matches and look a good team for bargain hunting this week. Their opponents, Newcastle United, will be without Callum Wilson, Miguel Almirón and Allan Saint-Maximin, and it’s hard to see where they will find a goal. That leads me to a defensive double-up via Sam Johnstone and the out-of-position Ainsley Maitland-Niles, who really should have scored last weekend. I’ve also found a spot for Mbaye Diagne who is just ahead of Ollie Watkins, though there isn’t much to choose between them.

Tottenham Hotspur also supply three picks: Sergio Reguilón, Son Heung-min and Harry Kane. Against Burnley, Jose Mourinho adopted a more expansive approach with attacking full-backs. That enabled Son to operate in more central areas, and if they do employ a similar tactic this weekend, they will surely have too much for Crystal Palace. It’s a shame we can only select three Spurs players really, as I also like Gareth Bale and Lucas Moura as differentials.

Elsewhere, Liverpool got back on track against Sheffield United last time out, which coincided with them using a different shape in attack. In possession, it was a 2-3-5, with Andrew Robertson mostly playing as a winger and attacking the space vacated by Sadio Mané, who would often drift infield. If that system is to continue, I expect both of the above to be the main beneficiaries in FPL.

Emiliano Martínez is again the key goalkeeper to own, with Bernd Leno, West Ham United duo Jesse Lingard and Michail Antonio, plus Double Gameweekers Jannik Vestergaard and Danny Ings rounding off the picks.

ANDY SAID

Even with a Double Gameweek as underwhelming as Gameweek 27 might be, I find it impossible not to max out on players from Manchester City and Southampton. 

Fraser Forster starting against Everton is promising for anyone who’s had him rotting away on their bench. The ideal situation would be a clean sheet against goal-shy Sheffield United, followed by lots of saves against Man City. If I had him, I think I’d be starting him.

With the Manchester City defence, I’m starting to lose confidence in guaranteed starts in John Stones and while I think João Cancelo is probably going to keep starting more often than not, I’ve gone with the safety of Rúben Dias instead.

I’ve also backed the double City attack with both Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gündogan. There is some risk in De Bruyne starting both games but we’ve seen plenty of times in the past that when he’s fit, he’s one of the first names on the teamsheet. I know people don’t rate him as an option this season but his expected goal involvement is 0.68 per 90 minutes this season, not far behind Mohamed Salah and Bruno Fernandes, who are both at 0.73. If those numbers start producing points it could be a good time to be ahead of the game, especially in a Double Gameweek where there’s a chance he plays twice.

Over the last four matches, no player has a higher expected goal involvement than Michail Antonio (3.59). Despite their great league position, Leeds United are still a team I would target for returns: only West Brom (47.58) having a worse expected goals conceded than the Whites (41.36) over the season.

      I think this list proves, at least to me, that Andy deserves his high ranking this season. FF is not that complicated. Pick proven players with good fixtures. And deviate for one or two CHEAP assets with good form/fixs.

      Andy's squad is easily the best imo.

    I will dead end my team in after gw29 so need to get some more doublers in. what would you do?
    1ft and .4 itb

    Ederson
    Stones Dias Digne
    Salah Bruno Son Raphina
    Bamford Watkins DCL

    Johnstone Mee Barnes Struijk

    I was thinking DCL and Bruno to Kane and lingards/gross/saka
    Then before 29 move on my city def to get in a few defenders and a gk
    I could just move on Barnes but sort of want kane

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      DCL may have a double in 28. I read there could be an announcement on Friday or Monday based on previous announcements and the number of days before the game is played

      1. dbeck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        hmmm that sort of blokes me move for kane then as cant ditch watkins or bamford. Bruno to Bale?

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 26 days ago

          I'm not convinced with Bale and his fitness yet. I'll need to see if he starts against Fulham before I change my mind

  5. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    RP - I'm looking for a soundboard on these transfer thoughts.

    GW27 - Bruno to Son
    GW28 - Roll FT
    GW29 - Digne and DCL to Dallas and Antonio

    This leaves me with 9 players for 29. Only issue Barnes can only be sold for a hit. Is there any player worth a -4 from 27-29 or just leave him on the bench?

    WC31 FH33

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Barnes could go to someone for -4 hit as part of your Dallas and Antonio purchase. Treble changes for -4 is good. You should get 6 appearances points alone from the 3 new boys.
      Would ding dong dollars left allow you to get Bale in for Barnes for 29?

      1. FPL Forward Thinker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        Note: Villa have Spurs 29, then good fixture in 30

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 26 days ago

          Also potentially have a double in 28. I would jump on Grealish but I would want to see him play first. Smith is not great when giving injury updates

      2. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        I always seem to want a hit to be paid off instantly but you are right when you look at 2-3GWs especially when Barnes is out injured. I would have 11.8itb for a Barnes replacement.

        1. dbeck
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 26 days ago

          would you want to start both bamford and raph in 28 vs Chelsea. If so, its fine to hold and hit just before 29. If not that you could argue do your hit now. Its rules out Lingard so it is very limited choice

          1. Tonyawesome69
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 26 days ago

            Grealish would be the ideal transfer in 28 for Barnes if he is fit and Villa get the double

            1. dbeck
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 26 days ago

              agreed, the argument is then to wait on fitness

  6. Malkmus
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    GTG? 1FT, 0.2ITB

    Ederson (c) - (4.0)
    Shaw - Stones - Targett
    Salah - Son - Bruno - Gundo - Raphinha
    Kane - Watkins

    Subs - DCL, Coufal, Mee

    Ta!

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      I cant get on board with Ederson captain, his ceiling is around 12-13 points, so that's best case. This double he got 4 points.

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        This for me. Surely after Gundo only getting 8 mins in the last game, he is nailed for the next two and the best captaincy pick in your team?

      2. Malkmus
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        I'm not set on it, just toying with the idea. I can just see Gundo get 3 or 4 points over 2 games and city not conceding.

  7. Fuddled FC
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Which option?

    a) Raphina & Dunk/Targett
    b) Lingard & White (BHA)

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      A

  8. AdamJ91
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    If I do Bruno > KDB it means losing either Gundogan or Cancelo. The latter best to move on? Would give me 6.1m to get a defender in.

  9. Pep Roulette

    What would you do here? Only TC remaining. 1 FT. 0.5 ITB.

    What do you suggest here, lads? Safe to hold my ft?

    Martínez / Pope
    Dias / Stones / Cresswell / Digne /  Dallas
    Salah / Bruno / Gündogan / Raphinha / Soucek
    Kane / DCL / Watkins

  11. arkom

    Dias / Cancelo / Reguilon
    Son / Bruno / Rapinha / Gundogan
    DCL / Kane / Watkins

    Subs: 1. Dallas 2. Digne 3.Barnes

    1 FT (0,8£ ITB)

    A) Save
    B) Barnes --> Lingard
    C) Other?

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      I'd save, with B, who would you then bench? DCL?

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Depends on your 29 plan. Lingard is a great option for the Leeds game and plays in 29. I wouldn't mind roll the FT to give you flexibility

  12. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Any truth to this do we think?
    Forster was given game time to help prepare him for Cup Q-final. McCarthy is first choice so expect him to play in critical game v Sheff.

    1. Holmes

      WBA clean sheet, attacking returns from Kane and Salah

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Any goal for Kane would mean a good week I think, currently on 72

    3. Karan14

      Digne CS + Assist
      DCL Goal

      Salah Goal

      Not asking for too much!

      1. MightyGar
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        This, minus the Son assist but with a Pickford penalty save to go with his and Digne's clean sheet.

    4. The 12th Man

    Too much West Ham to go Lingard and Antonio for next three? I know that Lingard is a blank in 28, but Leeds this weekend has got to be a good choice surely?

  15. The Mantis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Any changes to make this week? I was thinking of saving the FT even though I have Barnes:

    Martinez (Sanchez)
    Dias / Cancelo / Digne (Dallas / Lowton)
    Gundo (c) / Salah / Bruno / Raphinha (Barnes*)
    Kane / DCL / Bamford

    1. Fuddled FC
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Depends if you don't mind Barnes dropping?

      Are you set on Digne starting instead of Dallas?

      1. The Mantis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        Not 100% sure on that, just think that I already have 2 Leeds coverage

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Yup definitely bench him for this GW.

    3. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      good to hold, the lack of options to move Barnes to means its fine to hide on bench for a while

  16. Mane Mane Mane
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    What do I need to plan for in the next three gameweeks, what clubs should I be avoiding and which should I aim to bring in?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Depends on your team, plan for BGW29 and chip strategy. Look at the fixture ticker near the top of the page to plan.

  17. Netters2018
    • 5 Years

    Foden or Ward Prowse for DGW27?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Looking at Fodens mins, I think he should play the next two. Mahrez due a rest

    Best Barnes replacement ?

      A

      Gross would be my 2nd choice

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Raphinha for me

    3. nolard
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      All ok. Bert is an interesting one.

      Saka too.

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

      Why Traore but not Neto?

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        Need someone who plays in 29

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 26 days ago

          Ah gotcha

  19. The 12th Man

    Do we think Aubamayang starts this week against Burnley?

    1. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Yes.

    2. nolard
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Yes.

  20. nolard

    What are people doing - WC in GW 30?

    Or will we have another proper DGW?

    I am getting itchy and want the WC to count for a few weeks into end of season.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      WC in 31 hopefully

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        Want to take advantage of Martinez vs FUL, Bamford and Raphinha vs SHU, Son vs new before getting rid

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      If you have Villa, leeds, Spurs and WHU players for 29, they also have good games in 30., I'm planning to WC31

    3. nolard
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Understood!
      Thanks for your comments.

  21. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Just until the WC in 31 ?
    Bruno >> Auba, Salah or Mane?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Auba

    2. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      I assume your not FH in 29 if WC in 31. Then it seems a bit of a wasteful move as you'll prob want to prioritise blank GWers

      1. dbeck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        but auba is the answer if your feeling punty

      2. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        yeh FH gone. Just WC left.

    3. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      I really like the Auba punt until GW30/31.........he's probably going to get to 20 goals in the PL again

    People obsessing over Foden all of a sudden? I don't see the point in restructuring your 3 city players to fit in a player who has gotten 1 point in the last 3 games, and will most likely not play both games in GW 27.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      as usual, trying to predict Pep (and getting disappointed later)

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      The best way to restructure 3 City players could be to go down to 2 or 1 after GW27

      2 blanks, no doubles & three cup competitions coming up in the last 10 gameweeks - combined with a 14 point lead in the league they're looking likely to be a false economy bar the likes of Dias

  23. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Dias Captain?

    1. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Either him or Ederson for me, Southampton goal-shy and MUN will come for another 0-0.

  24. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Will Gundo play both games? And in which position now with KDB being back and all?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Tough to predict that

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Yes I think so and his position hasn't changed both with and without KDB.

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Just wondering if it's worth it to get him in now as I already have Sterling...

    Does anyone know if Rob Holding is likely to come back into the Arsenal team?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      I would like to know this. I'm not sure he is getting rotated due a rest or Arteta losing confidence

  26. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    I'd like to hear the thoughts of somebody planning a BB in GW30 - how many City players will be on that team?

  27. aapoman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Not thinking about gw27 at all past week. Who are people getting in to replace Barnes?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Depends on your team. Downgrade him to Raphinha/Lingard or upgrade to Son/Grealish (if fit)

  28. faver

    Hi!
    I'm considering jumping on old Kevin train. To do that, I have to switch one of my City defenders.
    I will do:
    Rash > KDB
    and other possible moves are:
    Stones > Rudiger
    or
    Cancelo > Regulion

    SR or CR?

    1. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      SR

    Neale makes an interesting point about Palace's left flank and Bale

    Think there may be a chance that Eze sits this one out - he's due a rest - and Schlupp comes in on the left side. This depends on both Zaha and Schlupp being fit to start.

    The weakness down the left is not all PvA - rather it's the flank tend to place their more attacking mid when on defense.
