The best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards for Gameweek 24 are debated by the Scout Squad panel.

For those new to this feature, it’s a weekly piece that always takes the form of a ‘Free Hit’-type selection for the upcoming Gameweek.

Fantasy Football Scout contributors Az, Sam, Neale and Tom each propose an 18-man long-list of Fantasy players, explaining their notable inclusions and omissions in the article below.

The Scout Squad also serves as a precursor to the Scout Picks, as the players listed will then be narrowed down to a squad of 15 (with the starting XI not exceeding a total cost of £83.0m) for final our weekly selection ahead of Tuesday’s deadline.

If you didn’t see it previously, we’ve started doing a ‘bus team’ Scout Picks earlier in the week in order to share our initial selection thoughts with Fantasy managers who perhaps couldn’t be around closer to the deadline – but we’ll still be publishing our final squad as we were before.

Each writer must meet the following requirements:

  • 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
  • At least one forward priced at £7.0m or lower
  • No more than three players from the same club

    Anyone got any further news on Broja? The rumour mill does not make it sound good.
    Broja not being fit for 27 might just force me to use a FH in 27 which I really don’t want to do.
    Are there any other options other than Mateta or Idah around that price if I decide he isn’t worth the risk and even then it could be going from the frying pan into the fire.

    1. Gunneryank
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Hmm no. This is a potential wrench in the works. A small one tbh.

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        A small annoyance now that could be a big annoyance in 27.

        1. Gunneryank
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          True!

    2. The Red Devil
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Should be a press conference today hopefully, if he's out long term, I'm downgrading laporte to Tierney & upgrading broja

  2. Gunneryank
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Alright, just your gut reaction to this WC draft:

    Ramsdale Guaita
    Trent Robbo Cancelo Ait Nouri White
    KDB Bruno Bowen Gallagher Ramsey
    Watkins Edouard Broja

    Wish i could fit in Raphinha, but this is a solid base to attack the next 3 GWs.

    Bruno for Salah obviously, probably next GW.

    1. vova
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      looks great! maybe Ramsdale/Sanchez rotation? gives you a double this week and the next

      1. Gunneryank
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Ha thanks! So i have Sanchez if i don't WC, and my transfer would just be him to Guaita. I'm off Sanchez for the rest of the season, but he's been a stalwart. I'll light a candle when he ships out.

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Nice remember Gallagher. Any double in 26 due to loan from Chelsea or something like that.
      Who goes in 26 to enable Salah in- what is that plan.

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Oh sorry you already said but surely you mean 26 not 25?

        1. Gunneryank
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Oh I'm fully aware he has a single game in DGW 26 yeah.

      2. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        If you changed Gallagher To Raphina now would still have cash for Bruno to Salah in 26 allowing for any price changes?

        1. Gunneryank
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I just checked that exact thing and...no. No i wouldn't lol. Which I'm fine with. Let Gallagher run wild for those fixtures. Fingers crossed.

      3. Gunneryank
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Just Bruno out after the United double.

  3. Josh.E
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Captain Kane or Bowen?

    1. Steiger
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Kane

  4. vova
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Zouma to be dropped by West Ham?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      They dont really have any alternatives with Ogbonna injury

      1. vova
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Dawson/Diop

        think they will be smart to drop him, big backlash against him

        1. Gunneryank
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Oh? What's the deal with Zouma?

          1. SpaceCadet
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Kicked his cat

            1. Gunneryank
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              That's a jerk move. Cats are people too.

  5. vova
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    From DGW26 onwards which would you rather have:

    A) DDG/Robbo/Son
    B) Ramsdale/Tierney/Jota

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Definitely A.
      DeGea can be dropped in 28
      But are DeGea and Ramsdale not the same price so why not A with Ramsdale if you have another keeper to cover Ramsdale’s blanks?

      1. vova
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        just planning transfers for DGW, will have 3 free transfers until so would ideally avoid taking hits (currently have DDG/Steele)

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Ok thanks. Yeah A for me.

          1. vova
            • 15 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            thanks mate!

    2. Gunneryank
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A only just.

      1. vova
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        cheers!

  6. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Best bench order for Sanchez, Diop, Dennis?
    Cheers!

  7. Gunneryank
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I have tomorrow off (it's still Monday for us colonists lol), and this is one of the biggest deadlines of the season. Super exciting yeah?! I'll be on hand with coffee and whiskey, with all the live streams and such.

    Good luck, managers!

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      not really exciting anymore 😀

      1. Gunneryank
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Speak for yourself! I'm mounting an assault on the top 100k...or even greener pastures therein.

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Good Luck! I'm just trying to survive this season and not miss any deadlines 😀

          1. Gunneryank
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Haha same to you!

  8. Legohair

    My team for next gw:

    Ramsdale
    TAA-Cancelo-Reguilon-Dalot

    Sanchez, Maddy,Dennis, Thomas

    2 FT 0.2 itb

    Bank transfer? Got all chips left.

    Ddg (foster)
    Tierney, taa, cancelo (Dawson, Rudiger*)
    Kdb(c), Bowen, Jota, Bernardo (trossard*)
    King, dcl, Antonio

    1fy, 1.1itm

    1. vova
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      yh looks good

      1. Garlana
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks for looking it over

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yep. I’d be tempted to play Dawson over King but he does have penalties.

  10. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    How nailed is Edouard?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Unless something has happened to Benteke, he wont be 100% nailed

    2. Gunneryank
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He's first choice, but not nailed, if you catch my meaning

  11. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Dennis immune to price falls. Good to know.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He’s already in the discount bin.

  12. Machine_Gunnerz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Looking to plan GW24 - Mount+Antonio to Kane+Ramsey for -4
    GW25 - Foden to Bruno
    GW26 - Bruno+Madds to Salah and Saka for -4, to get to 8 DGW players

    Current squad is
    DDG
    TAA, Cancelo, Reguillion
    Jota, Foden, Bowen, Mount
    Watkins, Antonio, Dennis

    Foster, Keane, Madds, Liveramento

    Sounds like a good plan?

    1. Gunneryank
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Ah a fellow gunner. I mostly like your plans.

      We both have Dennis and i want to be shorn of Watford players forever lol. I am soured on Antonio myself. I like Madds as he may prove a savvy choice here soon. It's not like the Foxes can defend. Good luck!

      1. Machine_Gunnerz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        thanks buddy. Ya, got burnt by Dennis! ouch! I like Madds too but its either him or Jota/Bowen. Good luck to you and Arsenal!

        1. Gunneryank
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Well i was only singed as i didn't captain him lol.

          Up the Arse!

  13. ILOVEBAPS
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Am very confused at what move/s should be done with this lot. 1FT & £3.8. Only 1FH & WC left.
    Any opinions?

    Ddg (Foster)
    TAA Cancelo Davies (Lamptey, 3.9)
    Salah Jota Raphinha Gray Bowen
    Antonio Watkins (Dennis)

    Was thinking either..
    A. Raphinha > Foden
    B. Raph & Antonio > Bruno & Broja? -4
    C. Salah & Gray > Bruno & Foden -4
    D. Something better??

    1. Machine_Gunnerz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A if raph is injuired or Antonio to Kane can be nice.

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers. I know Raph is an ok pick on any given GW but I just don’t like his fixtures.
        Can’t afford Antonio to Kane by itself.

        1. Machine_Gunnerz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          oh.. i think the lack of city or spurs cover would be the only concern i think. And since u kept salah all this time, you might as well hold on to him.

          1. ILOVEBAPS
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Cheers. Yeah it’s ok but think it could be much better.

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      That’s difficult.
      How about Raphinha and Antonio to Son and Edouard
      Forget about utd in 25 and hope for the best?
      Would that leave any cash to upgrade that 3.9 defender?

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Something like Ramsey and Kane in too is possible
        But I rather the Son and Edouard combo.

        1. ILOVEBAPS
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Thanks. Yeah it is difficult. Close to a WC button tbh. I would like to get in Bruno next gw just in case.

        2. ILOVEBAPS
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Could also do the Ramsey/Martinelli & Kane move with 0.4 spare.

      2. ILOVEBAPS
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Can do the Son & Edouard combo with £1m to spare.
        Am 0.1 off Bruno & Edouard. 🙁

    3. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I think I'd save for now. But if Raph is confirmed out, then maybe A

  14. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Start one. Obvious answer seems A but worried he gets benched and comes on for a cameo.

    a. antonio
    b. king
    c. dennis

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      If there is no hint from press about his gametime, I would start Antonio. otherwise King.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah I think A still gets the chocolates

    3. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Still A

    4. Gunneryank
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah i agree. Antonio.

      Watford can do one. (I'm not salty). 🙂

  15. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Now that I am done obsessing with WC and plans for the next few weeks
    I am wondering if I should play Ramsdale over DeGea and
    Tierney over Digne and go for broke.
    There is also the option to bench
    Ramsey and play Tierney and Digne
    Any suggestions? Currently on this.

    DeGea

    TAA Cancelo Digne

    KDB(C) Son (VC) Rashford Foden Ramsey

    Watkins Edouard

    Ramsdale Tierney Dalot Broja

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I would roll as it is. maybe start Ramsdale over De Gea.

    2. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Looks inch perfect, wouldn't change anything

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Thanks all. Ok I will leave it and get some sleep 🙂
      Best of luck this week !!!

    4. The Red Devil
      • 11 Years

      What's your salah plan?

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        So on a WC but planning a hit in 26 for
        KDB, Rashford and Foden
        To
        Salah Mane and Martinelli
        Followed by another hit in 27 to get rid of 2 of my 5 Arsenal /Pool players. Not complicated at all 🙂

        1. The Red Devil
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I know, I'm on WC too, few differences, I've gone a bit heavy in defence & a bit light upfront,
          Tierney+ Digne + dalot+ son + Rashford + foden + Watkins
          Vs
          Robbo + laporte + Ait nouri+ Bruno+ Saka + Ramsey + Weghorst
          Hoping my stronger defence can outscore your stronger midfield

          1. Albrightondknight
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            I think I might just edge it but I would say that !!! GL
            But you have a plan for Bruno to Salah in 26 I presume which is a lot less convulsed that my plan.
            Weghorst could get a double in 27 too.

            1. The Red Devil
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              Hahaha, hopefully it's close
              I'm most envious of not owning son, he'll comfortably outscore Bruno in 24
              But Bruno has a double in 25
              Yes, Bruno and kdb to son and salah in 26, gives me more than 11 DGWers in 26

              1. Albrightondknight
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 10 Years
                4 years, 2 months ago

                Wow I think I will only have 7 dgwers.

        2. The Red Devil
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I checked my potential team for 27, think I don't need FH, you? Don't think you'd need too

          1. Albrightondknight
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            I hope not. Maybe a hit or 2 to avoid using the FH in 27 but I am ok with that. But I need Broja fit cause I don’t want to take a -8 in GW27

            1. The Red Devil
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              Really worried about broja, hope we get some concrete news, weghorst is decent coz forward options are low and atleast he'll get lots of appearance points 😛

  16. ChelseaGuy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    For DGW26, would you rather have

    A) Robbo + Saka
    B) White + Jota

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      B

      1. ChelseaGuy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Is it concern of Robbo being rested or do you think Jota is the better option?

        1. ILOVEBAPS
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Think Jota is great value and has more hauls in him. Just my opinion.

          1. ChelseaGuy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Yep, given his stats too, a haul is always likely in any game.

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      tough

      probably B

      1. ChelseaGuy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        So, you expect Jota to outscore Robbo then?

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          No, actually Saka vs White was the deal breaker. Expecting Jota-Robertson to remain close.

          1. Thomas Magnum
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            This is how I would look at it also

          2. ChelseaGuy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

      A,
      Attackers get rotated more than fullbacks, saka should outscore white & robbo & jota should be close
      Comes down to who you think scores more between the two Arsenal players

        Mm yes. Getting White would mean triple Arsenal defense though, so that's what's putting me off B atm.

      That's the risk you have with him. I'd rather push to Varane if funds permit

      Saka maybe. Weghorst might get something at dis-jointed united. Ramsey looks good as well.

    I couldn’t resist the plump temptation of a WC, even if it was only 4 players to change:

    Alisson Foster
    TAA Laporte Tierney Cresswell Lamptey
    Salah Son KDB Saka Ramsey
    Antonio Broja Gelhardt

    .6 in the bank

    Any suggested additional changes before the deadline?

      The mids are really nice, but then you see the fwd line.

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Lots to like about this team and ignoring utd assists completely might be a gamble that pays off or are you going to go KDB to Bruno next week?
      That front line looks poor.
      Would you consider
      Saka to Martinelli
      Which should just about leave enough for Antonio and Gelhardt
      To Edouard and Weghorst?
      Still not a great front line but looks a bit better to me.

      1. Ballzit
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I see your point gents about the front line being a downer. I haven’t used my third forward in a long time, and unsure what to make of the Broja injury, but I’ll play with some alternatives.

        Maybe Watkins from Antonio is worth it as my main forward. Only playing one this week as of now.

        And yes I think I’m avoiding United, and deffo keeping KDB.

    2. Thomas Magnum

      KDB for me and likely with Bowen/TAA VC incase of rotation. Cancelo an option also

    3. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Only Bowen apart from those 2 teams would be a contender for me.

    4. House Frey Wedding Planner

      I'm leaning towards Kane

  27. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Which of these do you think scores highest?

    a) KDB (BRE, nor), Dennis (whu, BHA), Bruno (lee, WAT), Brownhill (cpl) + 4
    b) Mahrez (BRE, nor), Gray (new, LEE, MCY), Son (bur & mcy, lee)

    a) would definitely be Salah (TC) in 26, but b) also gives the option of a BB in 26 with DDG (lee), Lamptey (BUR), Dawson (NEW) & Gray (sot).

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A. Don’t like that BB at all.

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, a) feels safer, but I don't like having to play Brownhill, so would likely end up taking a hit in 27 (something like Salah & Brownhill -> Son & Gallagher/Raphina), so how about:

        c) KDB (BRE, nor), Dennis (whu, BHA), Bruno (lee, WAT), Son (lee) & Gallagher (BUR)

        Probably WCing in 28 regardless.

        1. The Knights Template
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Yes, because Dennis owes us (and will double soon for maximum points).

      2. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Another option is to just get Salah in this week and then I'd have 2FTs to better navigate the 27 blanks.

        1. The Knights Template
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Like this option the best

          1. Jinswick
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Hmmm. Confident Salah starts?

            1. Gunneryank
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              He will not.

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Hmmm that BB does look mighty nice on paper… How much ground do you think you’d gain or lose by BB’ing and keeping your TC for later on the presumption there’ll be a heap of people TC’ing Salah that week?

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Other option I guess is you can go with A use your TC now and then WC into a BB later on

      2. Cantonesque
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        It's that fear of not being onboard Salah TC that is putting me off GW26 BB - where I would expect to have DDG Watkins Digne Gray on bench, so really an ideal opportunity for it.

        Forcing me to consider BB for GW 24 instead (so I can forget BB planning in GW28 WC) - Foster Dennis Gray Reguilon - not terrible, not great.

        Maybe Salah C will be enough and I should hold BB till 26.

        For OP I think A scores highest though - Salah has a crazy high ceiling compared to that potential BB that has a plausibly very low floor ...

        1. Jinswick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Interesting idea, but I'm not sold on that 24 BB - expect WHU to put WAT away fairly easily. I think it's either 26 or later for both of us with the BB.

        2. Thomas Magnum
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Agreed, the fear of missing out on a Salah haul is worrying if everyone else has him as TC, but if somehow your Salah C plus BB points can cover Salah then that would feel like a big win especially as you’ll have your TC for another week and others won’t

          1. Cantonesque
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            That's a really good point, cheers Thomas. Almost decides me.

            Then I look at my GW24 bench again and don't like benching any of them (outfielders anyway). And Jinswick makes a great point below that the Salah TC is as good as it gets fixture wise.

            Guess I'll have to see what my gut says a half hour before deadline!

            Thanks for the convo lads.

      3. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        As well as the decent fixtures, an extra benefit of a 26 BB is that I currently have 2 decent GKs which I likely won't have post a WC. Can then load up the bench with fodder and maximize premiums for the run in. Problem is, Salah's fixtures are about as good as it gets for a TC.
