The usual Scout Squad foursome of Sam, Neale, Tom and Az are back for 2022/23.
Each week, they’ll be discussing the best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards for the upcoming Gameweek.
No fewer than seven players have been given universal backing for the opening weekend, to make Friday’s final Scout Picks selection all the more tricky.
ABOUT THE SCOUT SQUAD
In this series, our four resident Fantasy Football Scout contributors 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 £83.0m) for our final weekly selection ahead of Friday’s deadline.
Each writer must meet the following requirements:
- At least one sub-£5.0m goalkeeper
- At least one sub-£5.0m defender
- At least one sub-£6.0m midfielder
- At least one sub-£7.0m forward
- No more than three players from the same club

1 year, 8 months agoThoughts on this? Ideally I want Sanchez in with Ward but I like having 2 on the bench that will play. Given Andreas is far from guaranteed to start it's risky to downgrade Jonny and not sure where else I can get the 0.5 from??
Ward (Iverson)
TAA Robertson Cancelo Cash (Jonny)
Martinelli Son Salah Aaronson (Andreas)
Jesus Wilson (Greenwood)
