Which Fantasy Premier League (FPL) options will make the weekly Scout Picks for Double Gameweek 22?

That’s what our in-house team of Sam, Az, Tom and Neale are debating in this Scout Squad article.

In this feature, our panelists each put together an 18-man player longlist ahead of the upcoming Gameweek – with various stipulations, as detailed in the next section.

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. Anything outside of this window, we cover in the Watchlist.

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

        Martial.

  2. JBG

        Yo home, to Man U!

      Wasn't that fresh, imho. Lol.

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        😆

  6. Rainer

    Rashford assist king.

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Took him 10 minutes. So proud.

  7. RogDog_jimmy
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Well I'm keeping Martial for the double and not taking a hit to get to Bruno.
    Shaw, Rashford, Martial, Rodrigo.
    4x doublers seems fun to me.

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Martial came back at the right time for u

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Yep - super happy he's back in time for the double.

      2. One Man
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Is Martial back ?

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Thanks Hazz. Had seen that rumor. Being able to keep Martial makes this a little more palatable, I’ll be upset if it’s true as I chose him over Mitoma last week for the double.

  8. Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Bruno may not be needed for double. Do you think martial will start in both, maybe 60 min or so?

    1. Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      And If I can get Mitoma for free, is it worth doing KdB > Bruno? KdB has double next week

      1. BeaversWithAttitude
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Everybody's asking this question, mate.

        1. Salalalalah
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          I know, was all set for Bruno cap this week but Mitomo can probably outscore him in next 3 weeks and KdB is still ticking along. So might just keep and plan for GW25

          1. BeaversWithAttitude
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 days ago

            I'm passing on Bruno and keeping KDB (going de Gea and Rashy only). I have Mitoma, and reckon he's going to score big in the next three. Saving my transfer to do Saka to Mahrez and Toney to Nketiah in GW 23 (triple Arsenal/triple Man City).

            1. Salalalalah
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 6 days ago

              Makes sense, don't think Bruno is must have for this week and there are plenty of City and Arsenal players to get for next week while prepping for GW25. You plan to TC Rashford or wait?

            2. Salalalalah
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 6 days ago

              I'll get Nketiah next week as well for triple Ars attack !

              1. BeaversWithAttitude
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 6 days ago

                Sound plan! Good luck! 🙂

      2. dabber7
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Will KDB actually have a double though?

        He didn't have a double in Citeh's last DGW, if that makes sense?

        1. Salalalalah
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          He is the only one who get most minutes after Haalnd in city attack, make what you will!

          1. dabber7
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 6 days ago

            Indeed but Pep has already shown that he's prepared to bench him in one of the games in a DGW. If I was putting a bet on it, I reckon Bruno will have a far better chance of playing two matches in the upcoming double than KDB.

    2. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      No. Wegthorst will play more mins over the 2 games.

    3. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      I'm still going Bruno

    4. Pointless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      How did Bruno look tonight? (Wasn’t able to watch - just catching up on this evening). I planned to bring him in but may get Saka/Odagaard in preparation.

      1. Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        He looked fine, could have had a goal near the end and potential assist but in hold or do not buy territory for me, given upcoming blank and that I have to move KdB for him while I can just get in-form Mitoma. It all depends on your team structure and strategy I would say

      2. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Casemiro looked just as likely to score with a couple of genuine chances.

  9. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Kepa
    Trippier Shaw Ake White
    Martinelli Rashford KDB
    Mitrovic Kane Haaland

    Ward Almiron Andreas Bueno

    2FT, 2.0itb

    Best option, open to suggestions:

    1. KDB Mitrovic >> Fernandes Nketiah
    2. Almiron Kane >> Fernandes Nketiah

    Thanks

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      1

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Mitrovic > Martial

      Roll the second one.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        I don't love the Martial advice.

        Martial only just back from injury, was already having early subs & now Weghorst is there to take mins.

        Sure Nketiah has a SGW this week, but it's a good one & then a DGW, then doesn't blank in GW25 (watch Jesus!)

        Martial could do well but feel you'll get him, then sell him soon.

        1. RogDog_jimmy
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          Fair concerns. But I do think that he's a genuine option - and in this instance the idea of losing KDB or Kane for Fernandes is a little sub-optimal for me.

          Martial is medium-risk, high-upside for me.

      2. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Ohno I wouldn't get him. If u have him stick if u don't avoid.

      3. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Recency bias at it's finest right there

      4. RogDog_jimmy
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Lol at people freaking out about the idea of Martial.
        He's cheap - has been first choice, and is back and scoring.

        Don't expect him to get more than 120mins across the two games - maybe not more than 90. But it's not that bad an idea to me. Especially when the alternate for many is selling KDB, Kane, and/or taking hits.

        1. Feanor
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          "Martial not in the squad"

          "Martial not seen on the team bus"

          "Martial off after 30 minutes"

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Almiron to Fred imo and roll the other

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Casemiro over Fred

  10. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Rashford TC imminent

  11. Free Hat
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Its the hope that kills ya.
    Probably a 10th min Martial injury in the first game next dgw...

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Exactly this

  12. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    3 minutes to my transfers 😛

  13. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Bruno 90 minutes isn't ideal but at least that Martial goal will trap a few owners!

  14. Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    It may be too soon for Martial to start next game, but he can very well explode ..... decision decision!

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Probably starts one and rested v Leeds which is a few days before Barcelona game

  15. niloh1
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Why did Bruno play the full game? I assume he’ll still play both games for this gw?

    1. Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Don't think he rests, just like Kane

  16. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Does rashfords 2 assist strengthen the case for TCing him over haaland DGW23?

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Doesn't weaken it, haha.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        I was on haaland but now thinking rash

    2. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      You have to TC Rashford. The stars aligned.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Yeh I know but concerned about a haaland haul DGW23

  17. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Is Bruno any more of a DGW essential after that?

    1. Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      I'm starting to doubt and might just ignore him

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Not essential but I am still going salah to Bruno

  18. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Do we think Bruno, Rashford and Shaw will be rested for both games during the DGW?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Might get some mins of the bench. Got to factor in they'll be playing against tired legs, though.

    2. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Definitely

    3. Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      No, they will all play just fine. It's Martial that is a question mark

    4. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Thanks all, maybe Gnonto captain is the wise move.

      1. MrJobby
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Gnonto is a yellow card waiting to happen every game and 1 goal in 8 premier league games isn’t great

        1. The Knights Template
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          Perfect

    5. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      No. I think Ten Hag will want to bank the points whilst he can and then ease up on the league later in the season when there is the EL and FA Cup.

      He showed today he wants to win. Biggest risk is early subs if winning

    6. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      50/50 whether any of the 3 ever play for United again, worrying times ahead of a DGW!

  19. JohnnyCroat
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Okay, so waiting was obviously a great plan... both Shaw *and* Tony Gloves back in action, the latter surely landing a starting berth with that goal.
    Had he failed to make the bench I think I might have gone him and Cancelo to Gabriel and Eddie, but now it's Gabriel and Martin O to come in... probably... I dunno. More busy with STFC these days than FPL 🙂

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      United games come thick and fast every 3/4 days so can easily see Martial starting the Palance game and Weghorst v Leeds resting Martial for Barcelona game

      1. JohnnyCroat
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        But he'd still get game time in both... heck, score early vs Palace, off early, start again? Either way, can't sell now.

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          Yes probably a hold but wouldn’t expect too much

  20. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    I feel Bruno Ferdnandes could be played in a biopic by Daniel Brühl or Rami Malek.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Adrien Brody surely!

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        And Dolf Lundgren in the Hollywood remake.

  21. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Bruno 3 BAPs from woman in the stands 🙂

  22. TRIPOS TOPPER
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    FPL website still showing Man U fixture in GW25

    They could have updated it last week...the chance of Forest making it through was the same as a Tory MP not having done Oxford PPE

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Playing safe next 24hrs

  23. Scalper
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Rashford TC confirmed then. Think his extra points for a goal and clean sheet just about swing it in his favour over Haaland. That and Haaland's fixtures aren't overly enticing. If Haaland was the one with Palace and Leeds at home then it'd be a different story.

  24. Norco
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Bruno for a hit probably isn't worth is hey, he's also probably going to be a transfer out in GW23 or GW24.

    I can't get to him easily unless I do the KDB > Bruno > KDB hokey cokey.

  25. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    It's that time of the year again.... triple captain:

    a) Rashford
    b) Fernandes

    1. Norco
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Rashford in the form of his life, why would you not pick him?

    2. dabber7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      A by miles

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Easily a) for me

    4. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      B = Laugh

    5. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Rashford is well clear of Bruno.

      The question is Rashford 22 vs Haaland 23.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        What’s the answer please?!

    6. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Rashford TC no doubt.

      Not Bruno, not Haaland. Rashford.

      Hurts to say as I’ve already used mine on Haaland.

    7. Quinninho
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Ok, this is my question too and clearly everyone wants Rash, I see why….but, everyone will Capt him this week and some will TC. I’m really thinking of TC fernandes just for the differential aspect and I’m chasing in ML.
      Clearly what will happen is Rashford will bang and my little plan will have failed miserably

      1. MIGHTY JOE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Do the chasing with other differentials mate. Stick with TC Rash

  26. Quinninho
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Best Man Utd defender for this GW - not Shaw

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Martinez

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      So u wouldn't get Bruno ?
      Maybe do the same and get Martinez with Shaw & Rash

      1. Quinninho
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        I’m chasing in ML and oppos have shaw, eventually I want Dalot so need a differential….I’m getting Fernandes too.

        Thanks and good advice

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Varane incase Shaw moves to LCB over Martinez or Dalot appears out of the blue.

    Worth taking a punt on either Sancho, Antony or Rodrigo? Will be transfered out for Ødegaard for DG23

    1. dabber7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      I wouldn't

  29. Subzero (-4)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Will rashford EO be over 200% this week? Wondering if he will actually be worth celebrating if he scores points 😉

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Yeah for sure. 223% my guess.
