Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers are usually thinking weeks and months ahead when it comes to their moves but Gameweek 16 is the last round of fixtures before unlimited transfers are granted, so one-week purchases are all we’re interested in.

READ MORE: FPL FAQ: Will price rises happen during the World Cup?

The Scout Squad and the Scout Picks articles have even more relevance than usual this week, therefore, as they deal only with the upcoming Gameweek.

In the Scout Squad, our in-house panel of Sam, Az, Tom and Neale each put together an 18-man player longlist ahead of Saturday’s deadline.

These selections will go a long way toward deciding Friday’s final Scout Picks, with the FPL assets receiving the most votes in with a better chance of making the cut.


ABOUT THE SCOUT SQUAD

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

Our four resident writers are solely focused on the upcoming Gameweek with their selections.

The players who get the most votes are much more likely to make the Scout Picks, although the final XI can’t exceed £83.0m – so occasionally, cheaper alternatives have to be found.

Each of our writers must meet the following requirements for this feature:

  • 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. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Oi!

  2. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Alvarez/Richarlson?

    Only for this week in the draft league

  3. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Are you keeping Foden and Wilson?

    1. Bruno Commando
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Foden yes, Wilson not too sure...

  4. iL PiStOlErO
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Any good for WC?
    Need to sacrafice Cancelo and Mitro...is Akanji a bad pick?

    Alisson Ward
    Trippier Perisic White Akanji N.Williams
    Salah Saka Trossard Almiron Andreas
    Kane Haaland Greenwood

    1. Sterling Malory
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I sold Cancelo on my WC, he scored 18 points the week after. Never again.

  5. Sterling Malory
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Foden/Wilson > 4.4m/Kane [-4]

    Probably Summerville at 4.4m

    1. Bruno Commando
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Foden's minutes were managed in mid-week. Will probably start this weekend especially when Haaland remains doubtful.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Madness ... I would be the reverse of that.

      Kane is knackered

      1. Sterling Malory
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Thought so! Cheers

  6. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Martial starts tonight, Ronaldo not in the squad

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Ffs Martial won't be starting the league game?

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Maybe if he is subbed early around 60mins or so he might

  7. Bruno Commando
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Best move for 1-week punt only?

    A) Wilson -> Darwin
    B) Dier -> Robbo
    C) Hold

    Guaita
    Cancelo Trippier Dier
    Martinelli Zaha Trossard Foden
    (H)aaland Kane Wilson

    Iversen Andreas Neco Dalot

    1. Gazwaz80
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I am also considering Dier to Robbo and Wilson to Solanke for a -4

      1. Bruno Commando
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        That would work. I am not a fan of taking hit at this point but good luck!!

        1. Gazwaz80
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Cheers Bruno. Good luck to you also…

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Robbo move could be nice

      1. Bruno Commando
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks! Wilson being doubtful for the weekend makes me question this a little, hence I was toying with the Darwin idea.

  8. Prinzhorn
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    This is my team for GW 16. Good to go and don’t look back?

    Pope
    Cancelo - Trippier - Gabriel
    Salah - Foden - Martinelli - Rashford - Andreas
    Haaland C - Wilson

    Ward - Mitrovic - Andersen - Patterson

  9. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Who to play this GW

    Dier (LEE)
    Trippier (CHE)
    Williams (CPL)

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Bruno Commando
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Dier for me

    2. HowManyGoals
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Trippier at home, even against Chelsea, would be my pick.

      1. Prinzhorn
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Same. Can score and give assists. Dier is a boring pick. Had him too and sold him.

    3. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Trippier

    4. Dennis System
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Tripps will score 12 he does every week

  10. The Mentaculus
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Great write up Neale. Think your reads of the Spurs/Liverpool/Newcastle games are spot on. The first two both feel to me like they could go 2-1 either way

  11. HowManyGoals
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Been watching ALL of the Scout videos and reading all of the articles, but still undecided. Defenders and Forwards are standard. Midfield of Saka, Martinelli, Zaha, Salah, and Rashford. Thinking of either Saka to Foden (if we get team news) or Rashford to Trossard, or changing Pope to another keeper. Cup opposition has Trossard, so FOMO is strong.

    What do people think?

    A) Rashford to Trossard
    B) Saka to Foden
    C) Pope to Allison
    D) Or Ben White to Gabriel?

  12. JabbaWookiee
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Guys this is my GW16 team with 2 FTs. What to do?

    Raya
    Tripper - Cancelo - Gabriel
    Foden - Saka - Martinelli - Almiron - Andreas
    Haaland - Kane
    (BENCH: Iverson - Toney - J Gomez - Dalot)

    A) Raya + Toney > Allison + Darwin
    B) Foden + Toney > KdB + Solanke
    C) Foden + Toney > Salah + sub-5.6m bench fodder
    D) Something else?

  13. Purse83
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    A) Bowen & Darwin

    Or

    B) Eze & Kane

    1. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A.
      Kane’s tired

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A

  14. Dennis System
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Kdb+callum wilson+mitro out
    Martinelli+kane+nunez in
    For -8??

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No

    2. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Crazy for a -8

  15. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Major Salah FOMO

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      It'll ease with each passing week that he doesn't haul

  16. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Best move?

    A. KDB >> Salah
    B. Mitro >> Nunez
    C. Both -4

    Guaita
    
Cancelo - Tripps - Webster
    
Salah - Rashford - Saka - Zaha
    Haaland - Wilson - Mitro
    (Ivo | Neco - Kilman - Andreas)

    1. Bruno Commando
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      B

    2. Kellz86
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      B

  17. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Is Wilson confirmed out ? Everyone selling him just before facing a poor and depleted Chelsea defence seems a bit strange

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      We'll know tomorrow I guess

    2. Front 442
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I couldn’t agree more

  18. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    United: Dubravka - Malacia - Maguire - Lindelof - Dalot - Mctominay - Fred - Rashford - Donny - Bruno - Martial

    Villa: Olsen - Augustinsson - Konsa - Chambers - Young - Kamara - Luiz - Ramsey - McGinn - Watkins - Ings

  19. The FPL Units
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Foden to Kulu?

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Nooooo

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Am.thinking to get him instead of Rashford

  20. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    With Mitro out, I have £9.2m to spend on a striker as a one week punt, who you picking? Darwin? Jesus?

    1. Bruno Commando
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Darwin

    2. Maddamotha
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Is he confirmed out?

      1. mdm
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yes. Until end of the month

    3. mdm
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Darwin

  21. Fury
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Firmino or Jesus for this week?

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Jesus.
      I'm getting rid of Firmino for Nunez.

      It'll probably backfire.

  22. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Is this looking okay? Or would you play white over anyone.

    Pope
    Trippier - Cancelo - Castagne
    Salah (c) - Zaha - Martinelli - Bernado
    Haaland - Darwin - Wilson

    Ward - White - Andreas - Neco

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I would start White over Castagne

    2. mdm
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Gtg

  23. wakenbagel
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    A) Play Guehi OR Webster, transfer Alisson and play, bench Ward

    B) Bench Guehi AND Webster, transfer Konate and play, Ward in goal

    1. artvandelay316
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Don't like either combo really, but A better than B probably, playing Guehi.

      1. wakenbagel
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        If I go for Firmino instead of Darwin, I can do Robbo instead of Konate, seems more exciting but Darwin looks more close to points. Another option can be sticking with Callum Wilson and go fro Trent/Robbo and have 1 more FT to think about.

  24. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    A Foden (assuming he starts )Jesus or
    B Rashford Darwin or
    C Trossard Darwin

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      C

    2. artvandelay316
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      C

    3. mdm
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A

  25. artvandelay316
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Foden out for Zaha on FT? Kind of desperate for a differential as I'm chasing ML rivals who have Foden, and barring one defender and one midfielder I have nothing different to put me ahead of them.

  26. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Pope (Ward)
    Trippier Cresswell Cancelo (Guehi, Neco)
    Rodrigo Martinelli KDB Almiron (Andreas)
    Kane Mitro Haaland

    1FT, 0ITB

    What would you do? Sell Rodrigo or save?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No point in saving as you have unlimited transfers into 17 so may as well make a move

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I understand, what's your suggestion?

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Rodrigo to Eze

          1. Gooner97
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Did the opposito move last GW lol

  27. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Would u do it ??
    Justin & Saka > Cancelo & Foden
    For -4 pts
    Yaaaay for sure
    Nope

  28. Saviour22
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    FH team

    Ward
    Gabriel white Guehi akanji
    Salah kdb martinelli eze
    Haaland Kane

    any Suggestions?

  29. AnfieldLad
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    A) Mitro + Doherty -> Darwin + Perisic
    B) Mitro + Foden -> Solanke + KDB

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A

  30. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Please, mates:

    Sánchez (Ward)
    Cancelo, Trippier, Saliba (Shaw, Bueno)
    KDB, Trossard, Martinelli, Almirón (Andreas)
    Haaland, Kane, Wilson

    Is KDB to Salah madness? Wilson to Jesus, maybe? Neither?

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Wilosn to Jesus or Darwin okay but Keep KDB

      1. sirmorbach
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I am so scared of not having Mo... and I've got no money to do Wilson-Darwin.

        That being said, many thanks, mate!
