The Scout Squad foursome of Sam, Marc, Tom and Neale return for 2024/25, starting with their Gameweek 1 selection.
Each week, they’ll be discussing who they think the best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players are for the upcoming Gameweek in isolation.
No fewer than seven players have been given universal backing for the opening weekend ahead of the final Scout Picks selection.

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 – 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
