Scout Picks

FPL Gameweek 28 Scout Picks: Chelsea + Palace triple-ups

7 March 2025 342 comments

avfc82

It’s Gameweek 28 Scout Picks time as we nail down our Fantasy Premier League (FPL) player selection for the next round of fixtures.

We deliberated over the Scout Squad submissions made by Sam, Marc, Tom and Neale before coming up with the final team.

As ever, certain restrictions limit our selection:

An £83.0m budget for our starting XI
An overall squad limit of £100.0m
No more than three players per team

GAMEWEEK 28 SCOUT PICKS

GOALKEEPER

The game’s third-highest scoring goalkeeper, Arsenal’s David Raya (£5.5m), gets the nod between the posts.

The Spaniard has been in fine form this season, keeping 10 clean sheets and conceding just 23 goals across his 27 Premier League appearances.

He’ll be facing a Manchester United side who have scored only seven goals in their last six matches and have the division’s sixth-lowest goal tally.

Arsenal kept out United in the reverse fixture, too.

DEFENDERS

FPL Gameweek 1 differentials: Minteh, Munoz + Mbeumo 3

  I'd either do Gakpo to a forward of your choice or save. If one of Isak or Gakpo starts I think you're fine. If they both miss out though Huijsen isn't ideal and you'd likely be transferring out Gakpo next gw anyway so why not now is my thought

    Thanks. I’m half hoping he may get some decent game time (Gakpo). Do you not think he plays at all?

      I've looked at predicted lineups and chances of him starting seem very slim. Not sure if about if he will sub on or not. I sold him earlier so haven't really paid too close attention.

Down to 0.0 bank
Hall to Creswell
Creswell too big of a leap? He seems to be important to HAM success.

Wood to Gakpo in gw24 must be up there with my worst ever transfers.

I'm going back to wood tonight, so that's 2FT's wasted unnecessarily and a net difference of 24 points

Thinking ahead to next GW, is the following worth considering?

Gakpo + TAA + Palmer > Haaland (C), Gvardiol + Elanga -4

After this week, would that be way to go?

Cunha Palmer Hall
to
Haaland Nwaneri Semedo/Williams

Allows keeping Isak and TAA, downside is Dango/Nwaneri in mid for the last attacking spot.

With impending price changes (Hall, Cunha, Palmer) tonight, cash might be getting tight.

On no-FH29, Hall to:
a) RAN (to afford Wissa > Mateta GW30)
b) Gvardiol (Mbeumo/Dango > Sarr/Eze GW30)

Due to financial constraints the striker I choose this week will effect which defender I am able to afford next week in BGW29.

Best combo?

A.) Wissa (Avl H, Bou A) & Cresswell (Eve A, Wol A)
B.) Beto (Wol A, Whu H) & Ait-Nouri (Sou A, Whu H)

Putting fpl aside, what are your thoughts on what Arsenal's back 4 will be like for the rest of the season? How do you see the minutes being shared between Calafiori/MLS and Timber/White? Do you think one will emerge as slightly preferred option or do you think it will all depend on the opponent

  Arsenal fan here
  
  First choice is timber gab saliba Lewis skelly
  
  With premier league title chances coming to an end soon and UCL progression expect to see white and calafiori getting more and more minutes in the league, especially around the UCL games in April. Could start of with subs and then the occasional start for those two
  
  I think timber is safe to start the next 3 league games

Best way to fund Haaland next week? Will have 3FT, 1.3 ITB:

*Pickford - Vadimarsson
TAA - *Gabriel - *Colwill - *N. Williams - *Bednarek
Salah - *Palmer - *Mbuemo - Rogers - *Dango
Isak - *Wood - Cunha

A: TAA, Isak & Cunha ➡️ Doherty, Haaland & Beto
B: Palmer, Rogers & Cunha ➡️ Minteh, Nwaneri & Haaland
C: Other / get Marmoush instead
