It’s that time of the week again when our in-house team of Sam, Marc, Tom and Neale debate the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players they think should make the Scout Picks cut.

Our panelists submit 18-man player longlists with the focus just on the upcoming Gameweek, so there are Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove Albion triple-ups aplenty.

A reminder that if you want to hear our thoughts on transfer targets beyond just Gameweek 36, our Watchlist has been updated in midweek.

MORE ABOUT THE SCOUT SQUAD

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

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

I'd say so. We have very similar teams/starters, I have Ederson over Kepa and TAA over Mee (Estu).

Guys, appreciate some feedback on my GW36 team and transfer plans to GW38:

Kepa
TAA Trippier Botman Shaw
Gakpo Rashford Mitoma
Haaland Kane Isak (or Wilson)

Transfer plans:
GW36 > WATKINS > ISAK/WILSON
GW37 KANE > ALVAREZ & MADDISON > BRUNO (2 x FT's)
GW38 BRUNO > SALAH

Reason for swapping out Kane is my ML rival has Salah and we are literally neck and neck in our ML, so I want to flank him by bringing Salah in for GW38.

Any glaring fails or flaws with this approach?

Alvarez game time in 37 may be lower than expected.

Your rival may go differential in 38 to prevent you from covering him. I would pick the player who you think will score the most points rather than potentially failing to cover your rival.

  Thanks for your feedback. A lot of variables involved (particularly with City) so plans could change, but if they go in to GW37 with a CL final to play for then I fancy Alvarez to get good game time across the DGW. Also, re your point on high scoring players its hard to look past Salah v So'ton in GW38, which is why I feel I have to get him in to cover my rival. Trent is potentially my ace card as he doesn't have him (currently at least).

    UCL final is on 10th June, I don't see that impacting Pep's decision to give certain players game time especially when the league is still to play for. My last point was more general and I agree Salah should do well against Soton.

I see so many double attack vs double defence not ending well?

With Newcastle you mean?

I’m on the Wilson+Isak double up with just Trippier, i like the odds of attacking returns more over the defensive.

Steele.

Wish I got rid of Kepa ages ago and used the money outfield!

Keep Alvarez or get Wilson for GW36?

FusionFC

Play Ederson or Steele?

d77sgw

Was thinking Mahrez (likely starter, v attacking role, double next week) over MacAllister (away at two decent defences, deeper role) - but looking at the above I am wondering if this is mad?!?

Guitarman84

Play 2 from:
1.Shaw
2.Botman
3.Grealish
4.Toney

Frank Henderson

Wilson or TAA???

Rest of the squad:

Raya (De Gea)
Estupinan Schar Trippier (Akanji)
Mahrez Gakpo Odegaard Bruno F.
Haaland (Solanke)

Advices? Maybe remove Schar and leave TAA + Wilson...
