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.

    Larsen owners - autosub or sell

    Jorgen Strand Larsen is not at the Wolves team hotel this evening and is expected to miss the game against Everton tomorrow.

    In today’s press conference Vitor Pereira cast doubt on Larsen’s involvement due to an achilles issue.

      Not sure about unanimous I've seen all sorts of names being thrown around. Man United's trio, Eze, Johnson/Kudus, Sarr, Estevao, Ndoye/CHO/MGW, Dango, Gakpo... literally endless names from different teams. Semenyo's in that pool of options.

      Johnson will probably get more points per minute, but he's more likely to lose his starting spot and have his appearance time limited. It's pretty much 50/50, but Kudus is the better option over the longer term.

      I've gone with Johnson. Far higher ceiling than Kudus though Kudus will get more minutes.

    Rutter going down 0.1 tonight is annoying.

    Would rather do Palmer -> Cunha/Mbeumo, but Rutter -> MGW saves me the 0.1 loss before GW4 WC.

        can't be sure, but expected to be -111% tonight.

        Not gonna risk it I guess.

        Hope MGW outscores Cunha/Mbeumo & that I will not need a bench player this GW.
