Despite a smaller pool of players to choose from in Blank Gameweek 29, there are only seven consensus picks in this week’s Scout Squad.

Our in-house panel of Marc, Sam, Neale and Tom explain their key nominations and omissions below.

ABOUT THE SCOUT SQUAD

Scout Gameweek 28 Squad

In this article series, our team discuss who they think the best players are for the upcoming Gameweek in isolation. In other words, there’s no medium-term planning involved.

The players who get the most votes are likelier 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

    Need some help here please, marginal call. Having a terrible season and have made some weird choices to try and gain rank.

    TC/AM done, plan A is WC 31, then BB/FH depending on doubles/blanks so transfers are effectively a 2 week punt. Have 11 starters for 29 so not bad, but feel like I need at least one of Haaland, Bruno, Kluivert.

    Current team - 1 FT, £1.8m ITB
    Raya
    Gabriel Kerkez Robinson Aina
    Dango Palmer Mbeumo Nwaneri
    Beto Wood

    Subs - Alisson, Salah, Isak, Digne

    Wanted to do Palmer and Isak > Bruno and Haaland for -4 but don't have enough dosh, so considering these options

    A. Palmer (ars, TOT) > Bruno (lei, nfo) for free
    B. Palmer (ars, TOT) and Isak (-, BRE) > Kluivert (BRE, IPS) and Haaland (BHA, LEI) for -4 and bench Dango due to minutes risk
    C. Palmer (ars, TOT), Isak (-, BRE) and Alisson (-, EVE) > Bruno (lei, nfo), Haaland (BHA, LEI) and 4.2 fodder for -8 and bench Dango
    D. Roll transfer
    E. Something else

    Favouring A or B, not sure C is worth -8 and D is boring!

    Would love some help for upcoming GWs due to doubles and blanks.

    Henderson

    Gabriel ait nouri van hecke

    Kluivert salah Gibbswhite fernandes

    Wood wissa strandlarson

    Leno Nwaneri saliba hall

    1FT, 10m in bank, wc, bb and tc

    Concerned about wildcarding now and missing out on cover for bgw for lots of clubs.

    Difficult fixtures for next gw for some players. Was thinking my best bet would be Sarr for nwaneri or Isak for Wissa/Wood
