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.

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

    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.

    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

    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
