Scout Picks

We have chosen our best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players for Gameweek 6 ahead of Saturday’s deadline.

We line up in a 5-3-2 formation this week and, as ever, are limited to £83.0m for our first XI.

While the maximum starting XI budget remains the same, there has been a slight change to how we nominate substitutes following our on-site poll.

FPL Gameweek 3 Scout Picks: Kane returns, Maddison in

As a result, given that our starting XI costs £82.3m, we have £17.7m to spend on the four substitutes you see on our Scout Picks graphic.

However, in an attempt to please both crowds (the poll was extremely tight after all), we’ll be giving some slightly more expensive alternatives below where appropriate, who in most cases, carry a bit more potential.

GOALKEEPER

Salah and blanks again as Brighton defensive assets shine ahead of good run 3

Brighton and Hove Albion have made a very good start to the season, thanks in part to their solid defence. Across their opening five matches, they have kept three clean sheets and conceded a league-low three goals. In Gameweek 6, they return to the Amex and face a Leicester City side that suffered their fourth consecutive defeat against Manchester United on Thursday. The Foxes have issues at the back, which we’ll come onto later, but they also look uncharacteristically poor in attack and sit in the bottom three for expected goals (xG, 4.62). Robert Sanchez (£4.7m), meanwhile, has the highest save percentage (92.9 per cent) of any regular starting ‘keeper and ranks second for bonus points, with four.

    Gross or Rashford for next 3 weeks?

    1. Kaptenen
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Gross

  3. T.Henry14
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    1 FT - 1 itb

    Raya (Ward)
    TAA, Cancelo, Walker, Estupinan, Neco
    Salah, Diaz, Martinelli, Rodrigo*, Andreas
    Haaland, Jesus, Edouard

    Rodrigo&Walker ----> Gross&James for -4, worth it?

    1. InVinceible
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Why not just Rodrigo to Gross? Taking the hit means Gross or James would need to score to make the hit worth it.

  4. The Pep Revolution

  13. The Tinkerman
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Best mid under 5m that isn’t Andreas?

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Longstaff

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      I would punt Gilmour.

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      The Seagulls boss told a press conference, quoted on the club's Twitter account: "Billy's an exciting signing for us, he's an able footballer and a great character, he has a great personality.

      "He'll fit into the group and add competition in midfield. We're really pleased to have him here.

      "As a footballer, Billy's very technically able. He benefits from structure and the team functioning well, which is our job.

      "If we do that, I think he will have a really good time here."

    4. Mork calling Orson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Longstaff is just a temporary fill in for Bruno.
      Gilmour is a wait & see.
      Declan Rice for me - at least guaranteed to start every week.

      1. NorCal Villan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        Longstaff is perfect for a fill-in

  14. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Play ?

    A Neco
    B Cucu (starting James)

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      A

  15. Drip Doctor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Time to ditch Perisic then

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Lineup leaked?

    2. Ray In Bruges.
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Why's that?

  16. james 101
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    On a WC:

    A. Jesus

    B. Firmino

    1. Pegilagi
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      A

  17. FPL Mentor
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Roll the FT?

    Ramsdale*
    TAA Robbo James Cancelo Walker
    Salah Groß Martinelli Harrison
    Haaland

    Ward / Rodrigo* / Greenwood / Taylor

    1FT 0.6 itb

    1. FPL Mentor
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Have enough for Robbo & Rodrigo > Neco & Diaz or punt on Rodrigo > Trossard/Aaronson/JWP.

      Either way its a selection headache for 1st sub, so might just roll the FT. Hmmm.

      1. Dan D
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        absolutely same dilemma but 1st sub only andreas...

  18. Dan D
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Raya
    AA Robo Cancelo James N. Williams
    Martinelly Salah Gross
    Jesus Haaland

    Ward Andreas Rodrigo Archer

    need to replace Rodrigo ( 6.3) . zero in the bank

    Would you

    1) go -4 for Robo and Rodrigo to some 4.5 defender and Diaz

    2) go -4 for Robo and Rodrigo to Zaha and 5ish defender

    3) Just Rodrigo so somebody below 6.3 (who ? )

    4) wait one week , roll transfer and do double transfer then ?

    5) Something else ?

    1. Sex Panther
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Id roll the transfer your team looks good you

    2. Catilo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      My problem exactly. Haven't made any transfer and leaning towards rolling it this GW and have 2 FT next.

    3. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      I had similar situation and went Rodrigo —> Groß to try not to lose to much and get some cash ITB. I did have 2FTs so rolled the other which may make it slightly different

  19. jtnethk
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    sanchez
    TAA Robbo James Cancelo
    Salah Groß Martinelli sinisterra

    1. Sex Panther
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      JTNETHK...

      Neco frankly id play anyone against bournemouth at the moment.

  20. Sex Panther
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    who should I play trippier or Harrison?

    1. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Trippier for me

  21. Nemes1s
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Play Robertson or Neco Williams?

    1. Sex Panther
      • 4 Years

      do you have TAA?

    2. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

  22. nanxun
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    gtg?

    Raya
    TAA - Cancelo - James - Walker - Dunk
    Salah - L. Diaz - Martinelli
    Jesus - Haaland (c)

    Ward - Dasilva - Andreas - Archer

    1. Heiro
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Yep, looks good.

  23. Heiro
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Morning all,
    Any changes here?

    Ward
    TAA/Cucerella/N.Williams/Trippier
    Neto/KDB/Martinelli/Salah
    Kane(C) Jesus

    1FT 1m ITB

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      you could get a better keeper.

      1. Heiro
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        Neto is burning a hole at the moment so need to upgrade him at some point.

      2. Heiro
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        Neto to Grob?

  24. iCon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Andreas over Salina as first sub?

    1. Heiro
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Think so, he just keeps getting something out of the games

      1. iCon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        Yep, he’s just vey involved

        1. Heiro
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 5 days ago

          Thoughts on Neto to Gross for free?

          1. iCon
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            4 years, 5 days ago

            Great move 3 weeks ago, but still a good move now - I’d do it

            1. Heiro
              • 16 Years
              4 years, 5 days ago

              Would you rather do that or Upgrade Ward GK?

              1. iCon
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 15 Years
                4 years, 5 days ago

                Probably prioritise the Ward move as you have to play him every week. Neto could get you something but Ward has no real upside - not even getting save points.

                1. Heiro
                  • 16 Years
                  4 years, 5 days ago

                  Thanks, seems to make sense it's just more boring.

                  Henderson or Sanchez then?

                  Both have a decent run

  25. Russo_Turisto
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    No transfers
    Just question who to start?
    Struijk or Johny Castro?

    1. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      J

  26. Ray Kinsella
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    how can the picks include trent, kane, salah and Haaland?!

  27. Ray Kinsella
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    is anyone considering a haaland for kane swap? the risk of rotation this week and beyond is high (so is the risk of seller's remorse!!)

  28. Eisjh
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Ramsdale
    TAA-Cancelo-Walker-Cucurella
    Salah-Diaz-Martinelli-Rodrigo

    Any Pointers please?

  29. LUCKY PICKS XI

    4 years, 5 days ago

    Gordon or Longstaff?

  30. MarkyS50
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 days ago

    What would you do?

    Sanchez (Ward)
    Cancelo, TAA, James, Neco (Dalot)
    Martinelli, Salah*, Rashford, Dias (Andreas)
    Haaland, Jesus (Archer)

    2ft, 0.5 ITB

    1. MarkyS50
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 days ago

      Seriously thinking of just burning a transfer
