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.

    Sanchez
    TAA Robertson Cancelo James Perisic
    Salah Martinelli
    Haaland Jesus Mitrovic

    Ward, Andreas, Dasilva, Longstaff

    0.1ITB, 0FT

    G2G this week? Thinking of bringing in Dalot or Fofana to fee up funds next GW.

    1. fijuhmon
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Robbo might be an issue but wouldn't hit him out. So good to go.

  2. Hits from the Bong
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    I stupidly captained Salah instead of Haaland for the past 2 weeks, he's bound to be benched if I switch now isn't he? Who should I pick?

    A. KDB
    B. Salah
    C. Haaland

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      A fixture and 100 starts

      1. Hits from the Bong
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        Is he going to start in defensive midfield again though?

    2. HellasLEAF
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      There is just no telling what Pep will do. Hard not to just roll the dice on C Haaland again. Probably bag 1 goal in 25 min worst case?

  3. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Bottomed- anyone captaining Kane? I am still bit skeptical on Pep starting Haaland. Last GW he benched KDB out of the blue.

    1. HashAttack
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Has to be Kane is you have him .... Haaland seems to have a ceiling of 17 points 🙂

      1. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        just trying to predict a haaland benching and trying to be different

  4. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Two dilemmas:

    1. Ramsdale >>

    A. Sanchez
    B. Pope
    C. Hold (Ward off the bench)

    2. Bench >>

    A. Neco
    B. Cucurella (have James)
    C. Groß

    Thanks

    1. fijuhmon
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      C as hold, I think Ramsdale starts. I am benching Neco.

    2. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      I just did 1B. And would do 2A

  5. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Hi guys who would you bench here for Trippier? Or keep him on the bench?

    Ederson
    TAA Cancelo Cucurella Saliba
    Salah Diaz Martinelli Groß
    Haaland (C) Jesus

    Ward Trippier Andreas Archer

    1. yanky
      • 16 Years

      saliba?

      1. jonnybhoy
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        Between him or Martinelli atm

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Im going Walker over Saliba

    3. DARE TO BISCAN

      Saliba

  6. yanky

    thoughts on either perisic to trippier? what else should i do?

    Sanchez
    TAA, James, Cancelo, Perisic, Gabriel
    Salah, Martinelli, Diaz
    Jesus, Haaland

    bench: ward, andreas, reed, archer

    1. jonnybhoy
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      I'd do that

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

        thanks! perisic > trippier, start gabriel away to united and roll 2nd transfer???

        1. jonnybhoy
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 5 days ago

          Yeah that's what I'd do

    2. HellasLEAF
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Bank team looks good enough.

  7. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Oh no I've got 9 of the scout picks this week. Usually a sure fire way to lose points

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      -12 surely

  8. JELLYFISH

    1. mordsta
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      bank

  10. sirmorbach
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Two questions, please:

    1) Start Neco or Martinelli?
    2) Are people betting Haaland starts?

    1. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      1 - Neco 2 - Doesn't matter, either way he is likely to score goals

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

        Cheers!

    2. fijuhmon
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      I'm starting Martinelli.

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

        Many thanks!

  11. A Moon Shaped Pool
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Hello friends. Should I make a move for Halland > Kane and if yes when should I make the transfer is it half an hours later? In 2 hours time? Tomorow or in the next 15 mins? Thank you

    1. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      I wouldn't

    2. 50ShadesOfGray
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      No don’t worry about Kane. Haaland will still get games

    3. JELLYFISH
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      B

  12. doppelganger
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Isak or Mitro ?

    1. fijuhmon
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Mitro for me.

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

      Mitro

    3. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      For rn I’d go isak

    4. JELLYFISH
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Isak

    5. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      i am getting isak soon

  13. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Just seen theres now over 10m players in fantasy. Unreal

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Top 100k will now be a very good season

      1. jonnybhoy
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        Madness that top 100k is top 1%

        1. jacob1989
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 5 days ago

          i think a top 500k is a good rank & a top 1m not so bad. I am just inside the top 3m now

  14. 50ShadesOfGray
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Could replace Rodrigo this week but I’m considering maybe bringing in Trippier or James for Dunk. Or should I just roll transfer?

    Sanchez (Ward)
    Saliba Walker TAA Neco (Dunk)
    Martinelli KDB Diaz (Andreas, Rodrigo*)
    (C) Haaland Jesus Mitrovic
    £1.5M ITB

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

      I like the Trippier move, but would roll this week

    2. 50ShadesOfGray
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Also is Idrissa Gueye worth the punt? He was class and I can see him retuning to form

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

        Great player, not for FPL though

      2. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        he is a kante or rodri type player. not for fpl

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

    I think I am onto the most sizzling front 6.

    So would you rather own James at 5.5 PPG or Mitro at 6.8 PPG?

    1. 50ShadesOfGray
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Mitro. Chelsea not getting clean sheets is a worry

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      James will be RWB more in the future which will increase his ppg. Clean sheets will come and that is a plus.

  16. The Train Driver
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Do you expect Gundo to start?

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      yes he got his rest recently

  17. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Evening all,
    Some advise pls…
    Which is best move

    A) Robbo & Rodrigo to Tripper & Foden for -4

    B) Rodrigo to Aaronson
    C) Rodrigo to Sinisterra
    D) Rodrigo to JWP

    Sanchez
    Trent - Robbo - James - Cancelo - Neco
    Salah - Martinelli - Gross
    Jesus - Haaland

    Iversen - Andreas - Rodrigo - Archer

  18. Bad Kompany
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    How will Newcastle lineup when Wilson returns?

    1. ☈☾
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      He won't

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Maybe ASM, Wilson, Isak upfront.

  19. ☈☾
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Which team is more likely to keep clean sheets?

    1 Everton
    2 Forest

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

      Forest K1ng/Inzuama/Draco

    2. JELLYFISH
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      The Forest of Snottingham

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      2

    4. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      2

  20. shapply
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    2FT, 0.0 itb, I'm thinking of:

    Rodrigo -> Gibbs-White / Harrison / Aaronson
    Ramsdale -> Henderson / Sanchez / Pope

  21. Rhodes your boat
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Perisic owners what you doing?

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Benched in my draft team

    2. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Selling to trippier or maybe the new Brighton wing back

    3. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Benched. Tempted to transfer to James

  22. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Play 2 of

    Neco
    Cucurella
    Walker

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. JELLYFISH
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Cucu & Walker

    2. 50ShadesOfGray
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Neco Walker

    3. RICICLE
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Cucu and walker

    4. Lav
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Neco Walker

    5. DavvaMC
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      WC.

    6. One for All
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Neco, Walker

  23. rokonto
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Will Perisic start?

    1. mordsta
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Unlikely imo - will be rested for CL game on weds

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

    Why has Estupiñán not played more minutes? Being bedded in?

  25. Old Bull
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Can’t remember a season where I’ve got so many players on my watch list. I could quite easily build two teams.

  26. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo James Cucurella
    Salah Diaz Martinelli Groß
    Haaland Jesus

    Ward Neco Andreas Archer

    1FT, 0.1itb

    May play Neco over Cucurella / Groß, then nothing really stands out at me this week but I’m starting to think it’s time to move Ramsdale on due to lack of clean sheets / save points, so:

    1. Ramsdale >> Sanchez
    2. Ramsdale >> Pope
    3. Save FT

    Thanks all

    1. Flynny
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      I'm looking at either Henderson or pope

    2. Lav
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Do not bench Gross against a struggling Leicester. Start Neco over Cucurella.
      I would go ahead and bring in Pope. Team looks good after.

    3. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      All aboard the Pope train

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

        Must refrain, must refrain

  27. Lav
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    2 FTs, 0.9m available. Any suggestions on who I should consider binning?

    Raya | Ward
    TAA | Joao | Trippier | Neco | Patterson
    Salah | Diaz | Bernardo | Gross | Aaronson
    Haaland | Jesus | Archer

    ## mods##

    I sent 2 emails about the Live Hall of Fame to support.

    Would appreciate a response.

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

      Based on my own experiences I would not expect you to get one. Good luck though, hope you do

      1. Jebus Saves
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        Last time I did.....this time not so lucky.

    2. RedLightning

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 4 days ago

      To be ranked in the Live Hall of Fame, you need to be in either the Fantasy Football Scout mini-league or the Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-league.
      If you join one of them then you will be added at the next update.

  29. Your Man With The Hair
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Start
    A) Neco vs BOU
    B) Saliba vs MUN
    ?

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

      Saliba
      Utd couldn’t even score more than 1 against Leicester. Gunners defence way better

    2. EL_FENOMENO
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      I have both and starting A

  30. Strchld
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Play Neco or Aaronson?

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Neco
