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.

  2. Bonita

    Nite Guys. A. Bring in Alonso and Chicha for no hit. OR B. Swap Sane for Pereyra. Bring in AWB and Kane.

    1. SirT83
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I would say A. Though having Kane for Christmas is not wrong. But loosing Sane is.

  3. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Can't remember season when so many defender scores so well.

    Alonso, Robbo, Mendy, Digne, Doherty, Holebas, TAA, Trippier

        • 6 Years

    is Laca ==> Chicha worth a hit? (-4)

    1. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Ive done it, upgrading Martial to Son.

      1. SirT83
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        You did that for a - 8 then?
        Depends on if he starts or not.

        1. PL Ball
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I'll be so annoyed if i transfer him out.. only for him to start.

    2. Roy Rovers
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Thinking Laca > Aguero

  12. Champions united
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Lac+fraser>haz+5.1
    Lac+rich>haz+5.9
    Save trnsfer bench doh richa taa

    1. SirT83
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Lac+Rich for Haz and Torreira. Get 0.8 itb for future transfers. Ps. I know Torreira won't keep up scoring goals, but he does have quite a fww shots on goal and he is nailed on. Arsenal has good fixtures.

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

    Best captain? Thanks.

    1. Auba
    2. Sterling

    2. SirT83

      Kane! 😉

      I would pick Auba

  14. Roy Rovers
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Yes or No for -4.

    Lacazette > Aguero
    TAA > Schindler

    Probably WC after GW18.

    Pat / Hamer
    Alonso / TAA / Doherty / AWB / Balbuena
    Sterling / Sane / Anderson / Richarlison / Fraser
    Kane / Lacazette / Success

    1. SirT83
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      No. Tough choice though. So I'm not convinced my answer is correct.

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yep...can’t see TAA playing or Laca starting and got a feeling Aguero could start and score big....well rested and been training this week apparently.

    How long do we reckon Son will continue starting? He is in form and maybe Pochetino will use him continuously till he leaves for Asia. Here's hoping!

    1. SirT83
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I'm thinking Poch will use him alot untill he leaves, might get a rest or 2 though.

      Up to you regarding the attackers.

  22. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Some stats to think about.
    Having played 16 gameweeks it is reasonable to assume there is enough information to see trends.

    Keeper: Average price 4.55 mil Total points 61 Points/Mil 0.84 (Total players 16)
    Defenders: Average Weekly Spend 18.74 mil Total points 311 Points/mil 1.04 (Total players 54) points per player 5.76.
    Midfield: Average Weekly Spend 34.56 mil Total points 393 Points/mil 0.71 (8 Captain picks incl) (Total players 66) points per player 5.95.
    Forwards: Average weekly spend 20.71 mil total points 249 Points/mil 0.75 (10 Captain picks incl) (Total players 37) P per Player 6.72.

    These numbers indicate midfield, where most money is spent is the weakest area for points accumulation.
    There is a strong argument with the numbers above to play 5 3 2 which I have NEVER played!

    1. SirT83
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Hmm, interesting numbers. The "experts" keeps on saying that midfield is where the money should be spent.
      I've only recently invested in much more up front and downgraded a bit on midfield. Hopefully it pays off. Good read!

    2. LD
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      As long as you have strong captaincy options while playing a 5-3-2 or other 5 atb formations (Salah, Kane etc.) I don’t see a problem. Just by lightly skimming through total points, players like Alonso and Robbo are close to Salah, Sterling and Haz for almost half the price

    3. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      8 Cap picks for Attack sorry

    4. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Low ceiling,3-5-2 best for now.

    5. SC not pearls before swine
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I don't totally understand your sample. Are the total players the top scorers? The most owned players? Random? Who are the captaincy picks?

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I think it's just his team. Struggling to see the strong argument tbh

        1. SC not pearls before swine
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Ohhhhhhhhh, I get it now. And yeah that makes it a much less compelling argument.

      I have both myself. I'll captain Kane, just because I don't have the nerves to do otherwise.

    Really torn on this one. Gut says B as I really want Sane (superb form) and don’t mind losing EVE attack for the next 2 weeks. Head says A.

    A) Balbuena -> Alonso (bench TAA)
    B) Richarlison -> Sane

    Fabianski
    Doherty, Kolasinac, Holebas, TAA
    Sterling, Son, FAnderson, Richarlison
    Kane, Auba

    Steele, Camarasa, Balbuena, Kamara

    Who here is benching Richarlison?
    Who is the player you'll play instead?

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

      I’m either getting rid or starting him.

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

      Yeah, first sub. Playing 5 at the back and Wilson (who may not play anyway)

      Ryan
      Alonso VVD Bellerin Doherty AWB
      Hazard (vc) F.Anderson
      Kane(c) Lacazette Wilson

      Button Richarlison Martial Hojbjerg

        No way I'd play AWB over him.

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

          Well, I am anyway 🙂

          I'd say AWB has a substantially higher chance of getting a CS than Richarlison does a goal. And I just checked the bookies odds who tend to agree:
          Richarlison anytime goalscorer: $4.00
          Palace CS: $2.75

          Richarlison hasn't shown much assist potential this season and there's no odds for that.

          And AWB arguably has a better chance of BAPS as you'd expect City players to dominate baps.

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

      I’m playing him -way worse players than Richarlison have scored at the Etihad this season, as have way worse teams than Everton.

      Similar to those those that benched Alonso last week, fear of Man City is driving questionable decision making.

        Alonso at home vs MCI compared to Richarlison away vs MCI is totally different.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I’m referring to numerous discussions of a similar nature I had with folks last week who were contemplating benching Alonso - lots of parallels to those considering benching Richarlison this week

    4. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I'm benching him as I think

      Alonso Robertson Davies Doherty
      Sterling Sane Anderson Fraser
      Kane Chicharito

      have a better chance to score points than him away against ManCity.

    Morning dzzz, have a couple of spots to fill on my WC

    Fabianski // Button
    Alonso // Doherty // XXX // XXX // XXX
    Hazard // Anderson // Son // Sane // Rich
    Kane // Mitro // XXX

    A: Chambers/Kiko + Digne + Awb + Jimenez..strong front 8. benching headache?

    B: Schindler + Digne + Bellerin + Kamara and play 352 with a stronger defence

    1. SC not pearls before swine
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I'd say B. Or maybe Success instead of Kamara and a smaller sacrifice in defense if you're worried about Kamara's game time.
