Gameweek 17 Scout Picks – Heavy hitters among forwards

The Scout Picks are going big up-front in Gameweek 17 with two premium forwards selected.

We’ve gone over the roster submitted by our pundits for the latest Scout Squad article in order to pick an XI under £83m.

This week we’ve gone for a 4-3-3 formation…

Goalkeeper

After receiving more top-spot recommendations than any other goalkeeper among the pundits this week, Ben Foster (£4.5m) claims the number one jersey for the Scout Picks. Paul and Neale were his biggest fans for Gameweek 17 with Peter also giving him a mention. Watford host a Cardiff City side with fewer away goals than any other Premier League club so far this season. For once, a Hornets clean sheet looks on the cards.

Defenders

Marcos Alonso (£7.0m) comes back into the Scout Picks XI for the first time since Gameweek 14. Chelsea travel to Brighton on the back of their morale-boosting 2-0 victory over Manchester City, and will be hoping to replicate their last visit to the Amex Stadium when they left as 4-0 winners. Only two sides have allowed more chances down the right flank in home matches this season, so Alonso could have the opportunity to exploit that weakness and potentially get defensive returns too.

Ben Davies (£5.6m) looks likely to be selected at left-back against Burnley with Danny Rose playing the full 90 minutes in Barcelona on Tuesday night. For that reason, we’ve chosen him for the Scout Picks with a clean sheet a strong possibility at Wembley Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Burnley have the lowest goal conversion rate in the last four Gameweeks, which means Spurs’ defence should go largely untroubled.

Matt Doherty (£5.1m) is almost the first name on the Scout Picks team-sheet every week these days. His goal against Newcastle in Gameweek 16 was his third attacking return in as many matches and he is still recording underlying statistics that suggest his form is sustainable. No defender has more shots on goal than Doherty this season, only one has more in the box while next opponents Bournemouth are joint-bottom for shots allowed in the penalty box since Gameweek 13.

Chris Löwe (£4.4m) primarily comes into the Scout Picks as a budget enabler, at the behest of Neale, but he does show some promise for points too. Huddersfield host a goal-shy Newcastle side in Gameweek 17 and have tightened up at the back themselves. In fact, the number of big chances they have conceded in their last four home matches is just one fewer than defending champions Manchester City. Meanwhile, Löwe has been involved in free-kicks and corners this season and will be more central to them with Aaron Mooy out injured. Thankfully for Huddersfield, Newcastle remain the side with the worst defensive record from set pieces in 2018/19.

Midfielders

Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) comes back into the Scout Picks on the back of being chosen as the top midfield option by both Paul and Joe. 90 minutes in the Champions League didn’t put either of them off, nor Peter who chose him as the secondary option. While his start is not set in stone the current injury problems at Manchester City may force Pep Guardiola’s to play the Englishman from the start. Sterling has five goals and three assists in his last five Etihad starts.

Felipe Anderson (£7.3m) emerged from this week’s Scout Squad article with a similar backing to Sterling. Peter and Neale chose him as the best midfield option, Joe chose him at second choice, Paul fourth. With five goals and an assist in his last six matches, it’s easy to see why he is so popular. With the leaky Fulham defence up next and a mix of goal threat and creativity, we are predicting a continuation of Anderson’s form in Gameweek 17.

Watford’s hosting of Cardiff this weekend has also shaped our midfield with Roberto Pereyra (£6.2m) making another appearance. Only one midfield player had more shots than him in Gameweek 16, which bodes well for the Bluebirds’ trip to Hertfordshire. Neil Warnock’s men have conceded an average of 2.1 goals per away game this season and with Pereyra offering a great threat, he’s an easy choice. The Argentinian was name-checked by three of our Scout Squad pundits.

Forwards

Harry Kane (£12.6m) gets a third successive inclusion in the Scout Picks ahead of Spurs’ Gameweek 17 hosting of Burnley. Despite that rest against Leicester, only one player has had more shots on target than him in the last four Gameweeks. Meanwhile, the Clarets have allowed the joint-most goal attempts in the penalty box since Gameweek 13. It’s a match made in Fantasy heaven, which is why he was chosen as the best forward by all four pundits and has also won our captain poll with ease this week.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.5m) unanimously claimed second place in the Scout Squad this week, with all four pundits choosing him just below Kane. This week it’s a trip to face a Southampton side still in transition under new manager Ralph Hasenhüttl, so he should have plenty of opportunities to find the back of the net. Indeed, only one player has had more shots on goal since Gameweek 13 than Aubameyang, who looks set to start after missing Europa League duty on Thursday.

Raúl Jiménez (£6.1m) completes the Scout Picks line-up with Wolves facing that vulnerable Bournemouth defence. The Cherries are the joint-worst side for allowing penalty box shots over the last four Gameweeks, while Wolves’ Mexican forward has had more efforts in that area of the pitch than anyone else during the selected period.

Substitutes

Jose Holebas (£4.7m) earns a place on the bench ahead of Cardiff’s trip to Watford. His involvement in set pieces could see him exploit the weakness with the Bluebirds’ back-line, while a clean sheet feels likely too.

Max Meyer (£5.6m) has been recording some encouraging underlying statistics this week. Paul brought his name to light in the Scout Squad article on Thursday, the midfielder providing nine key passes and shooting 10 times in the last four Gameweeks.

Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez (£6.4m) continues to be a great cheaper alternative to Anderson with West Ham continuing to have great form and fixtures. The Mexican is offering considerably more goal threat than his Brazilian colleague, specifically recording much better minutes per shot in the box over the last four Gameweeks.

Community Champion

Representing the community against the Scout Picks in Gameweek 17 is #FPLGuru. He has opted for a 4-3-3 formation of: Ederson; Davies, Laporte, Holebas, Rudiger; Sané, Son, Pereyra; Kane, Aubameyang, Mitrovic.

The community member who beats our picks by the biggest margin over the campaign will win a £100 Amazon Voucher and a place in our Contributors and Moderators League for the following season.

The Scouts have won eight and lost seven so far, with Dr Mantis Toboggan (DC2) winning 79-69 in Gameweek 16.

fclackless‘s winning margin of 33 points (77-44) in Gameweek 10 is the current target to beat.

    Guys, what to do with Laca, will he be a sure starter or a rotation risk??

    1. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Asking same question and leaning towards moving as cannot afford to have rotational risk players over busy festive fixture period!

      1. FPL ElasticO
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Well as i need some surgery to afford Auba for Laca can't do straight swap??

      2. mikess
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        this is what I did, cue a sub appearance and late brace

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I'm holding for the next 2 fixtures. There is a risk he doesn't start either, but still a good chance of coming off the bench and scoring. Arsenal have scored the vast majority of their goals in the second half and Emery has made the more subs at half time than any other manager. So he's likely to come on early if he start from the bench.

      Will then reassess the situation after the BUR fixture.

    3. TeamSteam
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      If he was a sure starter you wouldn`t be asking that question.

  2. Dušan Citizen

    Should I take a hit to do Ryan to Foster or Lossl?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      AWB is the easy bench.
      If you pick an Everton mid the other will score.

      1. mikess
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Be bold and play both the eve lads and hope for the best

        1. TorresMagic™

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Money wise makes sense.

      2. Deulofeu
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Indeed that has been my luck so far. Thanks.

    TM - Who are you captaining out of Auba or Kane?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Kane right now.
      Will have a look at Captain Sensible soon.
      Expecting a Kane fail. Tempted by Sterling.

      1. Bartowski
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yes my thinking exactly.

      2. Balls of Steel
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Have faith in Harry K

      3. TeamSteam
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        What`s the logic behind the Kane expectations?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          He fails a lot as captain.

          1. TeamSteam
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Do you have evidence to back that up or is that all subjective memory?

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              Cardiff after Barca for one this season.
              Way too many last season.

              1. TeamSteam
                • 11 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Barca? Ok, now that i know you`re a troll i`m not going to bother trying to have logical discussions with you.

                1. TorresMagic™
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • Has Moderation Rights
                  • 14 Years
                  5 years, 3 months ago

                  Cardiff was after Barcelona.
                  Burnley is after Barcelona.
                  Spurs are normally rubbish after CL.
                  The logical captain is Kane, doesn't mean it will work out.

              2. TeamSteam
                • 11 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Going by that logic i assume you`re captaining Salah every single week then?

          2. TeamSteam
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Because the only real big captaincy fail i`ve seen from him this season, is his 1-pointer at home to Cardiff. Other than that, in the games where you`d want to captain him, he`s done well i`d say.

        Thanks. It's between him and Bernardo Silva. Unsure about Son starting but he's the more tempting of the two.

          Sterling is another.

            • 7 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Sane + 2million for me everyday of the week. Would never captain the big bum T-Rex out of fear of rotation or 1-point cameo and I trust my Toffees to offer resistance this week

                My info is Gana is good to go. Interestingly, Pep has only beaten Everton once in 4 attempts; expecting a good match

    Guys surely with Mahrez rested mid week, de bruyne, Aguero nearing returns Pep is gonna make quite a few changes for Everton game.

    Of the front 3 of Jesus, Sterling and Sané who's the most likely to be rested against the toffees?

      Jesus

        How safe you reckon Sané Sterling are to start?

          5 years, 3 months ago

          Even call for mine. Both 75% likelihood of starting

      Jesus as Aguero is expected to play.

    3. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Jesus then Sane

    4. TeamSteam
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Jesus is terrible so i`m gonna go with him.

    5. Dank Squid
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Jesus, given that Kun is fit enough. Jesus hasn´t provided the right kind of movement lately (for a striker scoring goals can be secondary in a team managed by Pep).

    6. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I think Sane And Kun are very likely to start. And 50/50 between Mahrez and Sterling.

    Shaqiri to Pereyra for free, or better to save the transfer?

    Shaqiri sure to start against a leaky Utd def

    1. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Pereyra, good fixtures on the horizon and more assured of game time

    Thanks.

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

  22. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Which one would you select?

    A. Jiminez: Nailed on. Has had most shots on goals. Consistent.
    Fixtures a bit iffy, not the best.
    or
    B. Mitro: Good fixtures. Nailed on. Great stats.
    Fulham not in form, no service. 4 YC's.
    or
    C. Chicharito: Best fixtures. Whm scoring for fun. Good stats.
    Early withdrawals in games.

    4. Dank Squid
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      A. 50% of his attacking returns so far are against top teams - Wolves seem to thrive on low possession/counterattacks. Upcoming fixtures might actually be optimal for picking Jimenez.

    5. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Get Sana in.

        Sana? You mean Sane? For who?

        1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 6 Years

          Sane Yer.

  25. Nabs Kebabs
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    According to team news, Delph and Sterling will start on the same side of the pitch. That's rubbish, never happened before and Pep said last season that when Delph plays LB (as an inverted fullback), Sane has to play to provide with width as he is left footed.

    1. Bat Man
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I believe Sterling has played once on left recently

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        With Zinchenko at LB, haven't seen enough of him to know he plays. But last season, Pep definitely said that when Delph plays, Sane plays.

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah definitely don’t believe that, especially as Pep said Mahrez is in direct competition with Raz

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, Mahrez is left footed but he's not exactly a winger is such, he's more of a playmaker or inside forward who likes to come inside (which explains why he's favourite positon is LW).

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          RW* not LW*

    3. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I reckon Delph starts as he was on bench for midweek game so therefore can we take it that's there's a high likely hood that's Sané will start also.

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years

        Correct

    Thanks all

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Looks good. Might be sweating on Laca game time.

      1. Balls of Steel
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yes, that is my biggest concern this week, however the fact he was subbed early midweek makes me think he shoukd get decent game time this week. I may hold as only got him in last week

  28. Mreidfelt
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Fab/Beg - Undecided on this one - Who would you pick?
    Robo, Alonso, Lowe
    Salah, Sterling, Fraser, Felipe,
    Kane, Mitro, Wilson
    Bench: Camarasa, Digne, AWB

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Fab has the greater ownership and will probably rack up more save points.

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Fab

    Quick question out of curiosity........

    Where do all you die hard fantasy managers place on the overall rankings?

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      183k after last week's car crash of a game week. Lost Salah, Hazard, Alonso and Robbo on the wc and paid heavily for it. Still, much prefer the team I have now.

    2. Bat Man
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      75k

    3. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years

      Never high enough..

    4. Krafty Werks
      • 9 Years

      53k and rising!!

    5. Salah’s Sonnet

      1. Mreidfelt

        858th and praying for no Auba or Hazard point hauls lol

  30. Bat Man
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Any mid scores more than Salah over next 5 gw?

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling, Sane, Hazard possibly. All the usual suspects.
