There’s not a Liverpool or Arsenal player in sight in the Scout Picks for Gameweek 3 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

We considered the Scout Squad submissions made by Neale (Editor), Tom (Deputy Editor), Sam (General Manager) and Marc (Staff Writer) before coming up with our final team.

As ever, there are certain restrictions for our picks:

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

GAMEWEEK 3 SCOUT PICKS

GOALKEEPER

Robert Sanchez (£5.0m) gets the nod between the sticks ahead of Chelsea’s home match against Fulham on Saturday. The Spaniard has conceded just once in his two matches so far (an effort from 25+ yards, to boot), and given that Marco Silva’s side haven’t really impressed from an attacking perspective this season, a home clean sheet could well be on the cards.

    Is it worth swapping out Larsen for Richarlison 4ph? Or play KDH? Probably a 2 pointer.

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      1 year, 1 month ago

      KDH

    2. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Play KDH. You never know he could get an assist. He has more xA than Wirtz, Gibbs-White, Odegaard & Salah.

    3. aapoman
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I'm thinking of swapping to Gyokeres. I can do it for free though

    4. bso

      Thanks fellas, will play KDH

  2. The Philosopher

    Making moves tonight. So pretty much a final call.

    Which pair scores more over the next 5-6 GWs?

    A: Ndoye + Dango
    B: Sarr + Reijnders

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      1 year, 1 month ago

      A

  4. The Hunt
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 1 month ago

    I don't like the sound of Larsen carrying an injury so personally I punted him out for Woodsy. Richarlison is a good shout though.

    4. Miguel Sanchez
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I’m playing KDH over VDV (also have Porro)

  6. Steavn8k
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Watkins to Wood for free? Or just hold until after international break. Would leave me with 2ft.

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Hold

    2. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Hold

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Easy hold.

      1. Steavn8k

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      C

  9. PartyTime
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Dilemma here guys.
    Palmer injured. So;
    1. save a hit & play Mateta vs AVL or

    2. take a hit & buy a better midfielder

    1. Steavn8k
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Play Mateta. Villa seem lost at the moment.

    2. PartyTime
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Thanks in advance

  10. Joyce1998
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Play

    A- Minteh
    or
    B- Reijnders

  11. Keep calm and hoof me the b…
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Thinking of doing Palmer + Watkins to Haaland & 6.4m mid. Already have Reijnders and Anderson. Who would you get? I'm thinking of Damsgaard or Dango. Any better ideas?

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Ndoye or Dango

  12. Tonyawesome69
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Probably going to sell Palmer to avoid the price drops. I'm not sure if I want to use 1FT (2 after IB) or 2FTs.

    1. 1FT on Palmer replacement (2FTs in GW4)
    2. 2FTs on Palmer and Evanilson/Guiu

    MID: Semenyo, Reijnders
    FWD: Wood, Gyokeres

    2FT 0ITB
    Kelleher
    Murillo Munoz Porro
    Salah Bruno Sarr Anderson Palmer*
    Watkins Evanilson
    (Dubravka Andersen Esteve Guiu)

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Think I’m going to do a version of your 2. Probably beneficial in the short and medium term

    2. Tonyawesome69
      1 year, 1 month ago

      2FTs after IB and transfer window is a nice spot to be in

  13. Weeb Kakashi
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this FH draft?

    Sels
    Milenkovic Tarkowski DeLigt
    Bruno Cunha Marmoush* MGW*
    Haaland(C) Watkins Richarlison*

    Sent on all the picks expect the 3 marked with *.
    Any better alternatives you guys suggest?

    Thanks in advance

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Wood over Watkins and Johnson over MGW

  14. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Think I’m going to do Palmer + Guiu > Johnson + Wood for free.

    Good for this week and beyond, improves the prospect of a BB whenever that might be and allows me to bench KDH more often than starting him.

    Would give me
    Sanchez
    Porro Murillo Konsa
    Palmer Johnson Reijnders Anderson
    Haaland JP Wood

    Dubravka KDH Andersen Esteve

    Cheers

    1. Weeb Kakashi
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Good moves

      1. PascalCygan

    B: Cunha
    C: Mbeumo
    D: MGW
    E: Semenyo
    F: Kudus
    G: Someone else?

      Short term Bruno

  17. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Start Tosin or KDH?

  18. simong1
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Porro or Dorgu on a FH?

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Dorgu

  19. Billy Whizz
    1 year, 1 month ago

    As far as you can gauge this far, who are going to be the best options for getting Defcon points this season?

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Wish I’d stuck with Tarkowski

    2. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      VVD, Tarkowski, Lacroix, Bruno

  20. OptimusBlack
    1 year, 1 month ago

    So pick one to play
    A- VDV BOU (H)
    B- KDH WOL (A)
    C- Rutter MCI (H) as a punt

    1. Bobby Digital
      1 year, 1 month ago

      A

    2. seanie3
      1 year, 1 month ago

      A

    3. Weeb Kakashi
      1 year, 1 month ago

      C. Higher upside

  21. Edalock
    1 year, 1 month ago

    What would you do with these attackers.

    Palmer*, Rutter*, Salah, Kudus, Bruno
    Larsen*, Mateta, Guiu.

    1FT

    1. Blueface
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I'd move out Palmer or Salah out for a cheaper mid this week, then swap a fwd for someone pricier/ better next week or for -4

      1. Edalock
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Salah??? Are you serious

        1. Blueface
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Yep...I have him in my team, and I'm a LIV fan but not convinced he's worth the price tag this year. His goal threat is down, and his points so far have been pretty lucky. I intend to go for other LIV options if he doesn't start hailing aoon

  22. Meta12345
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Captain bruno or haaland?

    1. Weeb Kakashi
      1 year, 1 month ago

      H

    2. Bobby Digital
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I'm going Bruno

  23. Weeb Kakashi
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Any City fan can shed some light on how the attack would probably look this week?

  24. Blueface
    1 year, 1 month ago

    I've got Konsa and Reindeer on the bench, should I play either of them over my front 7:

    Salah Kudus Rogers E.Anderson
    Richarlison Watkins JPed

    It's the faltering WHU attack I'm most jittery about - would Konsa or Reindeer outscore Rogers or Watkins?

    What's a boy to do???

  25. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Pick 2 from list below to transfer in for Palmer & Rutter:

    A) Kudus

    B) Sarr

    C) Semenyo

    D) Barnes
    E) MGW

    Will be FH in gw 4 and BB gw 5.

      1 year, 1 month ago

      Neither. Cunha though

  29. Podorsky

    Bench Gakpo or Ekitike. Last decision before I press the save button.

    1. Joyce1998
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Both need to play imo

  30. Shark_Sandwich
    1 year, 1 month ago

    1. Podorsky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
