We have chosen our best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players for Gameweek 24 ahead of today’s 18:15 GMT deadline.
We line up in a 4-4-2 formation and, as ever, are limited to an £83.0m budget for our starting XI.
Our four substitutes, meanwhile, are always picked from the budget/cheaper crop of players, not to serve as bench fodder but to give some alternative options who don’t cost as much as some of the names in our line-up.
GOALKEEPER
Manchester United have laboured to just one clean sheet in their last six Premier League matches, conceding to the likes of Newcastle United, Burnley and Wolverhampton Wanderers. However, despite shut-outs being hard to come by, David de Gea (£5.3m) is still averaging 4.0 points per match during that time, having accumulated 31 saves, at least six more than any other goalkeeper. Notably, since Ralf Rangnick arrived, his 88.4% save percentage is only trumped by Nick Pope (£5.4m), who has played four fewer games, with his seven saves against Brentford, Aston Villa and Newcastle a prime example of just how crucial he is to the Red Devils. Opponents Burnley, meanwhile, have failed to find the back of the net in five of their last seven matches, scoring just two goals since the start of December.
DEFENDERS
Premium pair Trent Alexander-Arnold (£8.5m) and Joao Cancelo (£7.1m) feature in the Scout Picks once again ahead of Gameweek 24. FPL’s leading points scorers among defenders have 21 attacking returns and 22 clean sheets between them this season, averaging 7.2 and 6.1 points per match respectively. Given how vulnerable Leicester City have looked defending set-pieces, plus the fact Brentford have failed to score in three of their last five away matches, they could even be differential shouts for the armband this week, with Cancelo seventh in our captaincy poll at the time of writing, with 5.8% of the vote.
