The Scout Squad returns ahead of Gameweek 3 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

In this article, our in-house team of Marc, Sam, Tom F and Neale will discuss who they think the best FPL players are for the upcoming Gameweek in isolation.



MORE ABOUT THE SCOUT SQUAD

Scout Squad Gameweek 1

The focus is only on the upcoming Gameweek with the Scout Squad, so there’s no medium-term planning involved.

The players who get the most votes are much more likely to make the Scout Picks, although the final XI can’t exceed £83.0m – so occasionally, we have to select cheaper alternatives.

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

    If this happened to you, how would you find a positive or what mental tips would you use to just just get on with it unaffected?

    I changed captain from Tzolis to Bruno last week about an hour before deadline, saved it, got a page about updating a badge (rather than straight to team) but it said below, your team has been saved.Then pressed the team, which had Bruno captain.

    Game updates about 8pm I check and it is Tzolis again. Emailed FPL Friday night in case it was a glitch but didn't seem it.

    i could then guarantee how the weekend would pan out. Bruno is highest scorer in a SGW in about 3 years which was hard enough to take despite owning him.

    What was worse though (as I couldn't bet on that) was Tzolis getting '0'. I believe the only player in over 300 last GW to score 0. Even two points I could accept but 0 just rubs your nose in it a bit more.

    Basically the intended captain is the highest score of 300 GW players and the actual captain is the lowest of 300. The odds of the two extremes must be in the millions.

    Even 3rd highest / 3rd lowest of a GW you could stomach but the two highest extremes does suggest that there are greater forces at work.
