We have chosen our best Scout Picks for Gameweek 12 ahead of Saturday’s 11:00 GMT deadline.
This is partly cobbled together from the Scout Squad submissions made by Neale, Tom, Marc and Sam.
But as ever, we are limited by certain restrictions in our selection:
- An £83.0m budget for our starting XI
- An overall squad limit of £100.0m
- No more than three players per team
GOALKEEPER
Emiliano Martinez (£5.0m) is drafted in for Aston Villa’s home clash with Crystal Palace.
While Unai Emery’s side have just one clean sheet at Villa Park this season, they came incredibly close against Bournemouth.
In addition, they’ve conceded just 3.15 expected goals (xG) at home, the lowest tally in the division.

Opponents Palace have struggled in front of goal, too.
After 11 matches, they’ve scored just eight times. They also have the league’s worst conversion rate at just 5.1%.
