After a break over the busy Christmas period in which the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadlines were coming thick and fast, our Scout Squad panel is back for Double Gameweek 20.

In this article, our in-house team of Sam, Az, Tom and Neale each put together an 18-man player longlist ahead of Friday’s deadline.

These selections will go a long way toward deciding the 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

    Felix already starting, interesting

      Potter seems to randomly pick players. Anyone could win the lottery.

    2. It's Fergie Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      will he be in fpl by the deadline tomorrow?

      1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Already there. 7.5 striker

        1. It's Fergie Time
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I don't see him

          1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            0.1% owned on mobile.

    Fulham XI: Leno, Tete, Adarabioyo, Ream, Robinson, De Cordova-Reid, Palhinha, Reed, Pereira, Willian, Vinicius.

    Subs: Rodak, Kuzawa, Wilson, Cairney, Chalobah, Solomon, James, Harris, Diop

    Chelsea XI: Arrizabalaga, Hall, Koulibaly, Silva, Azpilicueta, Chalobah, Kovacic, Zakaria, Mount, Havertz, Felix.

    Subs: Bettinelli, Badiashile, Cucurella, Jorginho, Gallagher, Ziyech, Chukwuemeka, Aubameyang, Datro Fofana.

    TLDR: Cucurella benched, Felix starts

    1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Another change in shape from Potter? Desperate desperate stuff.

  3. putana
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Feels obvious Felix will score today. Seems high profile attacking signings always score on their prem debut

  4. agueroooooney
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is Bamford's return from injury bad news for Rodrigo?

    Want to get him in but I'm not sure if this will dent his potential.

    1. Muller Reus Corner
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Don't think so. Rodrigo is undroppable atm

    2. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bamford will be treated with toddler gloves.

      Would be surprised if he gets a start for the rest of the season and they should spend the whole time trying to stop him from disintegrating.

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Worry more about Rutter joining than Bamford, the latter can't stay fit and is being replaced

    4. agueroooooney
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Perfect, good to know. Thanks for the info

  5. Qaiss

    Fulham — Leno; Tete, Adarabioyo, Ream(C), Robinson; João Palhinha, Reed; De Cordova-Reid, Andreas Pereira, Willian; Carlos Vinícius.

    Chelsea — Arrizabalaga; Chalobah, Thiago Silva, Koulibaly; Azpilicueta(C), Zakaria, Kovacic, Hall; Mount, João Félix; Havertz.

    So glad I binned Cucu pity I chose Dalot 🙁

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Fuming he’s not starting tonight, gotta move him on ASAP, may even do it tonight, what a waste.

  7. Muller Reus Corner
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Mitro to Martial worth a -4?

    1. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Only time will tell. No one knows the future mate. Could be great. Could be terrible. In fairness Mitro has tough game but can always score. Martial has tough first game but easier second but he is not very good.

  8. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    What a DGW for Cucu! Bye. Never again.

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yep, even wanna transfer him out right now!

  9. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Start one

    A) Darwin*
    B) Martinelli

    1. sulldaddy
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B

      A is injured

  10. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Felix starts.

    Interesting

  11. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Thanks to those who suggested Azpi was a better choice than Cucu

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Evian I was around for that advice! Haha

  12. Super Silva
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Guys I have 6 dgw players already. Do I be greedy and bring in Kane or chill?

    Guaita
    Shaw Cancelo Trippier
    Kdb Rashford Saka Almiron Martinelli
    Viking Darwin

    Ward Cucurella Neco Greenwood.

    Darwin to Kane
    Cancelo to Lewis would be the moves.

    1. lugs
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      looking at your bench that move is a no brainer

  13. noquarternt
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Andreas goal to ruin Hall and Zakaria’s owners’ gameweek?

  14. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Ah, Mount should get a return as he is blocking my Kane (vc)

  15. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Already made one error in bringing in Dalot before the United game.. now Darwin may be injured!

    Anything worth a -4?

    Kepa
    Trippier - Akanji - Dalot
    KDB - Rash - Martinelli - Almiron
    Haaland - Kane - Darwin

    Ward - Andreas - White - Botman

    1. aleksios
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Gtg.

      1. Kodap
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Bench strong enough if Darwin doesn’t play?

  16. aleksios
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Anything worth a hit here? 1.5itb.

    --Kepa
    --Shaw--Walker--Tripp
    --KDB--Rash--Martinelli--Almiron
    --Kane--Martial--Haaland.

    --Ward--Saliba--Walker--Andreas.

    Thanks guys.

    1. Muller Reus Corner
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nope. Loving double walker 😉

    2. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Who's the second Walker on the bench?

      1. aleksios
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        White,,sorry

        1. Il Capitano
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          No worries, GTG.

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Kepa

  17. Will
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who do drop for Rashford?

    Almiron, Martinelli, Eze, KDB

    Got to be Almiron with the double gameweek right? … right?

    1. aleksios
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Right

    2. lugs
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Eze as i doubt you'd want him long term

      1. Will
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        He has a double

  18. Il Capitano
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    2FT 0.8m ITB

    Kepa
    Trippier Shaw Walker
    KDB Rashford Martinelli Almiron
    Haaland Kane Darwin

    Ward - Andreas White Bueno

    Darwin to Martial (or Toney if fit) and roll? Was thinking of moving Walker on but might hang fire now and ditch for a Newcastle defender next week.

    1. aleksios
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Go for it.

    2. Muller Reus Corner
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nice team. Yes, get Martial in and roll other FT

  19. Alcapaul
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Think I'm going to downgrade Saka to Odegaard to do Darwin to Kane tonight before he rises. Don't love losing Saka but feels worth it.

    1. Muller Reus Corner
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Moves sound good

  20. dshv
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    With this cucurella benching probably will go for stones?

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Isn’t Stones a slight doubt? I’m thinking Akanji instead

  21. footballfreak
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Choosing cucu over shaw one of worst fpl desicions..sure theres quite a few of us though

  22. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Surprised Gakpo isn’t added to FPL yet

    1. footballfreak
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He is at 8

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Clown moment, didn’t click next page for team players lol

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He is

  23. Teddy10
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Keep Walker or use free transfer on Walker to Lewis?

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'd keep personally but most seem to think he's a sell. Not sure if Lewis gets many more minutes than him given they have to deal with Rashford and Son

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

      I'm going to keep him but will definitely move him out next week.

  24. FFSbet.com

  30. Kodap
