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
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
SCOUT SQUAD: GAMEWEEK 29 PICKS
3 days, 3 hours ago
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!
