ABOUT THE SCOUT SQUAD

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

In this series, our four resident writers 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 Saturday’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

    Rolling with Haaland(c) this week. He’s looked so dangerous in every game. Brace against West Ham, could’ve had a goal and assist vs Bournemouth, and could’ve scored a hattrick vs Newcastle. City have a tendency to respond with some beatdowns after dropping points!

      Yeah, not a bad shout. If you don't have Salah, he's a clear C pick this week.

        Salah has looked very much on the periphery in the last few games. I know there are stats and analysis out there about how his stats dropped after Diaz locked down the left flank, I’ve been really surprised to see how far wide he’s playing. He’s wider than TAA most of the time! On current form I’d put him behind Haaland and Jesus for captaincy. Liverpool look void of ideas without Thiago in the midfield (we’ve seen this regression before in Thiago’s absence).

        I could be (and likely will be) totally wrong but I’m betting hard against Salah right now

          I agree. Haaland's stats and just looking at the games makes you think he will haul big.

          Salah also not looking as threatening as before. I think Salah is a comfort pick for most, but feel it very likely Haaland and Jesus will outscore him this week.

          As a Liverpool fan I have to agree 100%

          I can’t believe I’m considering other captain options as Bournemouth roll up to anfield

    Start one:

    A: Bailey
    B: Neto

    1. Help Me!
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      A

  3. Help Me!
    • 8 Years

    I feel I have given enough time to Bowen, but then his price dropped twice already. Should I do Archer+Bowen to Toney+Rodrigo/Harrison(any

      For some reason comment breaks at the (less than sign).
      Was typing (any less than 7mil)

      Sánchez
      Saliba - Cancelo - Alexander-Arnold - James
      Bailey - Martinelli - Salah (C) - Bowen
      Jesus (VC) - Haaland

      Bench: Ward, Andreas, N.Williams, Archer
      £1.4 ITB, 2 FT

        < 7m

        1. Help Me!
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Let's try again...
          1) With space < 7mil
          2) Without space

        If you are happy benching Bailey, probably.

        1. Help Me!
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          This is probably the only issue, or another choice is get another < 6.3 MID for Bailey and save a FT give Bowen one more chance

    Iversen or Patterson to ARS/BRI GK/Def worth a hit?

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      no

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Never hits for GKs or defenders You not playing either anyway as benchies so taking needless -4

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Iversen is worth selling if it gives you a GK you'll play more often than the one he's keeping (which would be Ward).

    Wildcard RMT please

    Sanchez
    TAA Cancelo James Perisic
    Salah Martinelli Rodrigo Gundogan

    Worth 4ph Cucurella to Perisic and Ramsdale to Sanchez. Concerned with double CHE defense. 0 mib 1FT ... thanks!

    Ramsdate - Begovic
    TAA - Cucurella - James - Cancelo - Walker

    1. KunDogan

      1. bso
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        You are probably right. Just had such a rotten week with two CHE and MC defenders...OR took a dive.

    2. Help Me!
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I think not worth the hit

      1. bso
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Thanks mate. Appreciate your reply.

  7. mikeb93

    Thinking Cancelo, Neto and Bailey out for Walker, Rodrigo and Gross for the -4, good move?

  8. BKRV
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Trippier or Perisic?
