In this article series, our in-house panel discuss who they think the best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players are for the upcoming round of fixtures in isolation. Therefore, there’s no medium-term planning involved.

The players who get the most votes are much more likely to make Friday’s Scout Picks.

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

      Palmer’s fixtures improve after Arsenal so you’ll want him back

        Right now it's mainly Wood or Solanke and both feel a bit short term.

          Hiya bud! Fingers crossed he does, it’ll be likely.
          I want to sell DCL this GW to Isak, but have already taken the 0.1 drop on the donkey so I’m even wavering on giving him a chance against WHU, but I may just sell given he may even be dropped this time round for Beto.

            Yeah I got him at 5.9 mate so have been able to hold, can’t get to Isak without a hit this week and would b loosing TAA or Johnson which I don’t want to do this week so 2 frees next week will do the trick!!! Haha it will be typical if Beto starts now!!!

              Ahh not so bad then, he’s stained my team and lost me 0.1 in the process haha.

              Yeah not quite worth the hit this GW. Personally i’ve turned to being aggressive again, so while it’s not likely I’ll be taking another hit this GW (which worked out last GW and almost halved my rank losing Haaland), I’m not averse to it.

              I really wouldn’t be surprised if Beto starts, might be the kick up the behind DCL needs haha!

    Would you do Wood to Solanke for -4, if you already had Johnson?
