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 agoOk, I'm done and I'm really pretty happy - my team v2842.5
Sanchez (Ward)
Robertson Cancelo Zinchenko Dalot (N.Williams)
Salah (c) Neto Bailey Son (Periera)
Jesus Haaland (Archer)
I figure it strikes the balance between aggressive and balanced and should be fine until week 8. I'll transfer Son next week to KdB to give me maximum wallop against Bournemouth
