With the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Gameweek 5 deadline looming, it’s time to nail down the Scout Picks.
This is, essentially, a Free Hit in all but name, with each selection made with a focus on the upcoming Gameweek in isolation. Selections made in the Scout Squad are a big factor when it comes to deciding who made the final cut.
As ever, certain restrictions limit us:
- An £83.0m budget for our starting XI
- An overall squad limit of £100.0m
- No more than three players per team
