The best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards for Double Gameweek 33 are debated by our regular panel.

ABOUT THE SCOUT SQUAD

Everything you ever wanted to know about the FPL Bonus Point System - part one

Fantasy Football Scout contributors Az, Sam, Neale and Tom each propose an 18-man squad of Fantasy players with the focus solely on the upcoming Gameweek.

Their selections serve as a long list for the Scout Picks, as the players nominated will then be narrowed down to a squad of 15 (with the starting XI not exceeding a total cost of £83.5m) for our final weekly selection ahead of Saturday’s deadline.

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

*If you didn’t see it previously, we’ve started doing a Scout Picks ‘bus team’ 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.

    2. yeahbuddy
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Seems good, BB now will let you field strong 11, minimal cash on the bench with WC

    3. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years

    Schmeichel
    Cancelo Schär Burn
    Bruno(C) Son Saka JWP
    Ronaldo Kane Wood

    (KDH, Amartey) 0.0

    Thoughts on this?

    1. FCSB
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Looks solid

    2. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm glad I used mine when I did because although it looks good, it doesn't worry me.

  6. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Dubravka*
    TAA Rudiger Schar*
    Salah Son Saka* Barnes*
    Kane Weghorst* Broja*

    Ramsdale* KDH* Doherty Kilman

    0FT, 0.1itb

    Anything worth -4 here?

    Thanks

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nope, cracking team dat!

    2. Branch Warren
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe broja honestly. He is a rotation risk but lack of options out there to replace

  7. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    what should i do with iheanacho lads? leaning towards selling tbh

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      should still get more than 100 minutes over both games, I would keep. Its not like we have too many options.

  8. trafalgarlaw
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Play Broja or Kulu ? Have Kane

    1. Branch Warren
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Kulu all day. Broja may not start

    2. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Kulu..

  9. FantasyClub
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Best budget replacement for Doherty for the season?

    A) Shar 4.4
    B) Royal 4.5
    C) Davies 4.4

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A if you have no Newcastle defense(including keeper), or else B

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        This

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Emerson was branded the worst Wingback in the PL a few weeks ago - can't cross the ball to save his life...

      Now he's the best replacement for Doherty?

      Man, a week really is a long time in football.

      1. FantasyClub
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I was looking at him for clean sheet potential out of all the budget defenders with Spurs FDR’s and form in mind, and he has more attacking potential than Davies

        1. Cruyff's Eleven
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, fair enough. I think without Doherty, Spurs have less chance of a cleansheet, plus less attacking power.

  10. Holmes
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    captaincy is tricky!

    Maddison on top of my list but full game last night certainly doesnt help. should still be involved in both games.

    Saka next on list who will probably play both games but Chelsea is one of them.

    Then its Bruno who I dont trust even little bit after last week returns.

    Wood? Yuck! Would have considered Dubravka/Schar if I had them 😀

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, Maddison my top pick as well but as you said, playing full game last night does create a bit of a doubt. Might still take my chances and go for him.

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        yep, might as well stick and hope for best.

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

      Thinking I’ll stick with one of the two ol’ reliables in Salah or Son and just be happy with whatever points my DGW’ers get on their own. Just none of the doublers stand out to me

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        They should be good for double digit (or at least some attacking return)

        1. Thomas Magnum
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Even Cancelo is tempting me, but not sure I’m brave enough for that. Feel like this’ll be a strange scoring week and there’ll either be a lot of captain fails or everyone does decent together

      2. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Bruno v Norwich would normally be a stand out, no?

    3. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Maddo

    4. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I've been on Kane over Saka all week. At least you know he will play 100% of his games unlike Salah.

  11. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Start two of these three:

    A: Broja
    B: Weghorst
    C: Willock

    1. Branch Warren
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      That’s rough. Couple of them need to go bro. Keep willock. Transfer or bench the others

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

      BC

    3. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Defs Willock, toss up between the other 2. Broja maybe if you forced me to pick one but would look to sell either him or Weg anyways

    4. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      BC

  12. balint84
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A) White or Telles
    B) Wood or Adams

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      For this week only or long term?

      1. balint84
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Just fot this gw

    2. Branch Warren
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Telles and wood

      1. balint84
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thx

  13. Branch Warren
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Anything you would tinker on this FH?

    Schmeichel
    Laporte cancelo schar
    Kulu Salah son Saka maddo
    Laca wood

    Dubravka dier Amartey Dennis

    Cheers

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Attack looking a little rough but slim pickings up top at the moment. I like your defense and midfield though

      1. Branch Warren
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks brother. Up front and bench is lacking but I prefer son over Kane and been let down by Ronaldo before

    2. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I like it

    3. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't go anywhere near Laca on a FH to be honest

      1. Branch Warren
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Fair. He’s expensive for what he has been but the lack of forward choices is a killer

  14. Holmes
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Good week for Schar to get his usual red card or injury... 😉

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Lascelles will find a way to outscore him and Burn

      1. lilmessipran
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        And that will "Burn" them Schar owners

    2. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Haha

  15. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Team is

    Foster.
    Cancelo. Trent. Robbo.
    Maddi. Barnes. KDH. Son. KDB*.
    Kane. Broja.
    Subs: all non starters and Doherty.

    I have 1 FH left. Do I use it? Risking having 10 starters and already on a -4.

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      You can take this opportunity to solve the Doherty problem

      1. Over Midwicket
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        For a -8?

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          If Kevin out, yes. Not sure what major changes you will make on FH, team looks decent, so better to solve the long term problem and FH later.

          If you have cash for Kevin to Salah, then bringing him back is also an option

  16. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Maddison or JWP?

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Maddo

  17. dansmusen
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Not looking forward to this GW. I have Willock/Broja/TSilva/Maddison and i think they are all big concerns. Second in my ML but three guys just behind me will prob do FH. Should i do some surgery on team ?

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Why is Maddison a concern? Should get 120 mins or so across both the games

      1. dansmusen
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yes thats true. I think Broja and Willock is my main problem. Chelsea not playing until midweek i noticed so TSilva should be starting.

  18. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    2 FT, 0.7 ITB, best way to get Bruno/Ronaldo in? Original plan was Raph out and BB, think I might need to replace Laca as well

    Dubravka Ramsdale
    Taa Laporte Rudiger Thomas Davies
    Salah Kulu Saka Raph Maddison
    Kane Laca Broja

  19. balint84
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A) Laporte + Martinelli
    B) Telles + Wood

    Both versions are -4 options

    1. Branch Warren
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      You already got schar and Saka?

      1. balint84
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        yes and yes
        so?

        1. Branch Warren
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Tough one. I’m not big on either Martinelli or telles personally but I like both the other guys.

          I’d probably have to back the dgw players and go B

  20. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ramsdale
    James Laporte Livra
    Bruno Sancho Saka Kulu Raph*
    Kane Laca

    (Sa* Broja Doherty* Digne*)
    1 FT & 1.5m

    Raphinha ➡️ Maddison for free? Or something else?

    Will be using WC for GW34 and FH between 35-38.

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Raphinha to Maddison

      1. Karan_G14
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers Holmes!

        Broja to come in for Laca if he’s not fit?

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          yep, should be fine or Wood for -4 could be worth a shot

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Raphinha ➡️ Maddison

  21. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Morning folks, cap Madds or Sonny?

    1. Branch Warren
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’m leaning toward son

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      On son so far

  22. tommo-uk-
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Would you bench boost this team or wait for 36?

    DUBRAVKA

    Trent WHITE SCHAR

    Salah SAKA MADDISON Kulu WILLOCK

    Kane WEGHORST

    SCHMEICHEL BROJA Rudiger Vvd

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      BB

    2. Branch Warren
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Decent for bb

  23. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What is a better option?

    A) Madison

    B) JWP (opens up money for getting a Chelsea player next if double)

    1. tommo-uk-
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Maddison more explosive but JWP has more certainty for minutes over both games.

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B

  24. swanseag55
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Morning all. So undecided on transfers, was always doing Raphina to Maddison but that would mean playing Rudiger. For exact money could do Raphina to Kulusevski and Doherty to Laporte for a minus 4. Thoughts?

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Raph to madd was gonna be my move, now Leic in semi finals, may swerve it, ?
      Possible chance of trophy an champ’s league place for them

  25. offspinnersinahurry
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Play Pope or Ramsdale this week, really torn between the two?

  26. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hey guys, I would appreciate your help as my friends and I have a small league and currently I'm 1st, but they are so close and it is very important to win against these MoFo's.
    Last week I sold Salah so my current team is:

    Sa (Foster)
    Tiago Silva; James; VVD; Robertson; Saiss
    Saka; Martinelli; Raphinha; Son; Kulusevski;
    Toney; Mateta; Kane

    I am considering few options: (I have 0,20 in bank and Bench boost)
    a) Selling Tiago Silva and Matata; buying: Schar and Wood (-4 points)
    b) Selling James and Saiss; buying Cancelo and Schar (-4 points)
    c) Selling James, Saiss and Toney; buying Cancelo, Schar and Wood (-8 points)
    d) Do nothing and keep 2 transfers for next week
    e) Do something else (please suggest)

  28. jaywills
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A) play Rudiger vs Arsenal
    B) Tierney to Laporte (-4)
    C) Tierney to Schar (-4)
    Cheers!
