The Scout Squad’s best players for FPL Gameweek 25

The Scout Squad return with their Fantasy Premier League (FPL) picks for Double Gameweek 25.

In this feature, our resident writers Sam, Marc, Tom and Neale get the chance to nominate an 18-man longlist for the upcoming Gameweek.

They then explain their notable inclusions and omissions in the article below.

The selections go a long way to forming the final Scout Picks, which will arrive ahead of Saturday’s deadline.

MORE ABOUT THE SCOUT SQUAD

The focus is only on the upcoming Gameweek with the Scout Squad, so there’s no medium-term planning involved.

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. Occasionally, therefore, 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
