The Scout Squad picks for FPL Gameweek 2

The weekly precursor to the Scout Picks article returns ahead of Gameweek 2.

In this piece, our four regular panelists – editorial staff Paul, David, Geoff and Neale – each submit an 18-man squad of Fantasy assets (with the focus on the coming Gameweek) and elaborate on their notable inclusions/omissions.

The 72 nominations listed below will then be narrowed down to a squad of 14 (with the starting XI not exceeding a total cost of £83m) ahead of the Gameweek 2 deadline at 11:30 BST on Saturday morning.

As we discussed last week, we are making some slight tweaks to the way we do Scout Squad and Scout Picks this season.

We have placed stricter regulations on our panelists to make the Scout Squad less about simply cherry-picking the best premium options.

There are requirements for at least one £4.5m goalkeeper, at least one £4.5m or cheaper defender, at least one midfielder priced £6.0m or below and at least one forward priced at £7.0m or lower.

As was the case last year, each panelist is restricted to no more than three players from the same team.

We will also be adding a captaincy to the Scout Picks this season, with details of that revealed on Friday.

David said…

As per usual, there are some obvious candidates for inclusion in the Scout Squad which don’t require too much attention.

At this point, Mohamed Salah and Raheem Sterling are auto-picks in anyone’s selection, while Trent Alexander-Arnold‘s creativity against Norwich should stand him in good stead at Southampton.

Furthermore, Watford’s dreadful performance against Brighton, and their susceptibility to set pieces last season, should make life very easy for Lucas Digne and Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Let’s discuss some of the less obvious ones then.

Crystal Palace offered very little against Everton in Gameweek 1 until the talismanic Wilfried Zaha took to the field, and given how tough Sheffield United were to break down at Bournemouth, I’m backing the Blades’ defence.

Dean Henderson is my top goalkeeper choice given his potential and price, while John Lundstram, my favourite £4.0m defender, was joint-top for big chances created in Gameweek 1.

Meanwhile, only Sterling had more shots on target than Emerson Palmieri on the opening weekend of Premier League action.

I fancy Norwich to get their top-flight campaign up and running against Newcastle with the help of Emi Buendía, who played three key passes at Anfield on Friday, and Teemu Pukki who netted on Merseyside.

Faced with a more open game at Aston Villa, I’m backing the Bournemouth attack to reward patience shown in them by Fantasy managers, and the same goes for Diogo Jota and Jamie Vardy.

Both players face top-six opposition in Gameweek 2, but Wolves and Leicester typically raise their game for these sorts of matches.

Finally, I’ve chosen Roberto Firmino as my top forward for Gameweek 2 as Liverpool head to St Mary’s for a meeting with a leaky Southampton defence.

In Gameweek 1, Firmino had double the number of the shots in the box as Salah.

Neale said…

Glancing through the Gameweek 2 fixtures, I can’t see too many clean sheets that I’d be 100% confident about.

Even my top two defensive picks, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Lucas Digne, I’m uncertain of from a shut-out perspective: Liverpool are without the injured Alisson and conceded plenty of chances to Norwich, while Everton could be down a couple of central midfielders and are facing a wounded Watford side up against their old boss.

It’s partly for that reason that I’m not spending too much on my three goalkeepers, although Adrian is not your typical budget shotstopper: even if Liverpool are further weakened as a result of his inclusion, a route into the Reds’ backline for £4.5m is too good to turn down.

Brighton’s 3-0 victory over Watford flattered them somewhat and I expect them to get more of a test against a West Ham side that impressed going forward in pre-season.

Martin Montoya‘s advanced role as a wing-back in a 3-4-3 is appealing, though, and indeed George Baldock was the only sub-£5.0m defender to rack up more final-third touches than the Brighton man in Gameweek 1. None of his teammates were more involved in that zone of the pitch, either.

I’m going against the market trend and backing against a Manchester United attack that blew Chelsea away at Old Trafford.

While I’m personally interested in Anthony Martial in the medium-term, Wolves are a different proposition to a Chelsea side in transition and were one of the stand-out performers from a defensive perspective last weekend.

Continuing on their impressive defensive statistics from 2018/19, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side allowed only one big chance against Leicester City – and even that wasn’t a shot (Jamie Vardy’s airkick).

Willy Boly was a colossus at the back and he would have had an assist, too, had Leander Dendoncker’s goal not been chalked off after VAR intervention.

While some are backing Sheffield United’s backline this weekend – and the Blades did undeniably well against Bournemouth – Crystal Palace are a different proposition on their travels.

Last season, the Eagles had the sixth-best away record in the top flight and only Manchester City, Liverpool and Spurs scored more on the road.

Wilfried Zaha was particularly effective away from home (nine goals, five assists) and, although he clearly wanted a move away from Selhurst Park this summer, made an impact upon his introduction against Everton, racking up eight penalty box touches in just 25 minutes.

Chris Wilder may opt to show more ambition on home soil (i.e. naming a 3-4-1-2 instead of a 3-5-2), which could play to Palace’s counter-attacking strengths.

Aston Villa conceded the highest number of shots last weekend while Bournemouth are chronically bad at the back (60+ goals conceded in each of the last four campaigns), so I’m backing goals at Villa Park – particularly if Dean Smith decides to reinstate the more attack-minded two of his four full-backs.

Trezeguet caught my eye in the Spurs defeat, although I’m aware he’s both a rough diamond and a possible rotation risk so I’d be happy enough to ‘follow the points’ with John McGinn for the same price.

I’m backing two forwards who blanked at the King Power to bounce back this weekend.

Jamie Vardy ought to get more joy out of Chelsea’s high backline than he did against Wolves, while Diogo Jota was a real threat in that stalemate at Leicester – even if his shooting boots had been misplaced.

Paul said…

The injury to Alisson allows us to free up budget by opting for Adrian, should we choose to double-up on the Liverpool defence away to Southampton.

Norwich’s attack caught the eye at Anfield, with Emiliano Buendia supplying the assist for Teemu Pukki’s consolation. 

While the Finn’s effort has earned him 112,000 new owners, Buendia remains ignored at just 0.7% ownership for a home encounter with Newcastle.

The Argentine will again be a big influence this weekend – he created 91 chances last season, at an average of 31.4 minutes per key pass.

Put into perspective, that frequency was surpassed by just three FPL midfielders with 1,000+ minutes.

Owned by 4.4%, John McGinn remains a differential for Villa’s home clash with Bournemouth.

The Scot’s effort at Spurs has persuaded a hefty 112,000 to bring him in, yet it is his home form that is arguably more encouraging.

All seven of McGinn’s assists last season were produced at Villa Park.

Conversely, it’s the away records of Callum Wilson and Jamie Vardy that could bring in returns this weekend.

Wilson scored nine of his 14 goals on the road in the previous campaign.

Vardy, meanwhile, netted away from home on ten occasions – only Harry Kane (11) managed more.

Away to a Chelsea defence that just shipped four at Manchester United, the Leicester frontman could open his account for the season

Geoff said…

With Alisson out for Gameweek 2,  Adrian looks a nice option at £4.5m.  Tom Heaton kept Tottenham from scoring until late on Saturday and looks for his first clean sheet at home to Bournemouth, while I look to Bernd Leno for another clean sheet at home to Burnley.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is an easy choice with good attacking threat – this might be his best way of scoring points this week if Liverpool are slow to adjust to Alisson’s injury.

Lucas Digne is another attacking pick and is at home to Watford, though I wonder if there will be a positive reaction after the Hornets’ heavy Gameweek 1 loss.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles is included both for his clean sheet opportunity and assist potential. 

John Lundstram is a nice budget option and I’m backing him to get a second straight start in midfield, while Tyrone Mings was on for three bonus points until he lost the clean sheet late to Spurs in Gameweek 1. Heavily involved for Villa, I expect he will continue to be a strong source of bonus points when clean sheets are secured.

In midfield, Mohamed Salah and Raheem Sterling are automatic picks and Gylfi Sigurdsson gets my third midfield slot, hosting a Watford side that looked poor against Brighton.

Anthony Martial is unfortunate to drop to fourth, playing up front for Manchester United and priced at only £7.5m, and John McGinn is an interesting proposition after scoring a goal in his ‘difficult’ game against Spurs in Gameweek 1. His strong run of fixtures now begins with Bournemouth at home.

A strong Gameweek 1 captaincy candidate, I’m backing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to score well at home after getting his first Premier League goal of the season at Newcastle.

While Callum Wilson will have opportunities against Villa, he drops to third in my forwards list behind Sébastian Haller. I was impressed with the West Ham forward in Gameweek 1 and can see him scoring against any opposition easier than Manchester City.

With Martial sneaking into my team above Marcus Rashford, I include Jamie Vardy and Teemu Pukki in my squad. Both should get chances against Chelsea and Newcastle respectively and both have the quality to finish those chances against suspect defences.

The Community Champion

Before most Gameweeks, we nominate a Fantasy manager to challenge our Scout Picks with a starting XI of their own.

The Community Champion who has the biggest lead over the Scouts during 2019/20 will win a £100 Amazon voucher (currently we can only offer Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com vouchers).

The Community Champion for Gameweek 2 will be announced in our Scout Picks article on Friday. Last week’s submission failed to reach us in time of the earlier-than-usual deadline.

The Scout Picks themselves scored 95 points, with Mohamed Salah as our nominated captain.

        okay pal, how is cheap defence going?

        i went with that approach and it allowed me to have sterling, salah, auba and a decent midfield

        1. Andy_Social

    As a King owner I am tempted to play Pope over Heaton this week.

    All or nothing.

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Follow your gut... who gets the points?

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Hoping for atleast some save points from Pope and that Villa will open up a bit so King might get a cheeky assist\goal.

        Playing Heaton and King in same match dosent feel right.

    2. Bruce Lee
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      not really all or nothing because bourn can score without any king involvement

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Anything can happen but should things go my way this is the best combo to max my returns.

  4. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Just got my invite to the Pukki party. So excited might turn up early and go for it tonight so the tickets don’t get too expensive x

    1. bigbudgie
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Aren't Norwich just gonna be pants all season though?

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        They weren't exactly pants in attack against Liverpool - one goal was very unflattering.

    2. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Party doesn’t start for another month

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        You clearly haven’t got the memo then

        1. Yankee Toffee
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Maybe this gw but the following 3 are rough. Sure he scored against Pool but Norwich are likely to go back down this season imho

          1. Ask Yourself
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Chelsea at home not that rough. West Ham away definitely not rough. City at home Hm okay I accept. Much better than wood who has 3 shite fixtures compared to pukki’s 1 over the period

            1. Yankee Toffee
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Sounds like you already got your mind made up

              1. Ask Yourself
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Yes that was pretty evident from the post right?

                1. pingissimus
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  You tempted by Buendía instead? Considering passing on Pukki Party to go on a Buendía bender.

                  1. Ask Yourself
                    • 7 Years
                    4 years, 7 months ago

                    I have to shift wood man. If it was a mid I wanted to get rid of now it would be for Buendia for sure. Think pukki slightly edges him anyway but obviously more expensive. Keeping an eye on both ahead of my WC after the 1st IB.

            2. jimmyabs1987
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              This is why I just moved wood to Pukki

          2. pingissimus
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            They may go down of course but they're likely to go down with a healthy goals for column. They kept on at it throughout.

    3. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Let me know if its any good, might come along later

    4. Swanremainsthesame
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Bcos no PL team staff is going to notice he scored & work on their own team blocking him out bcos 1 goal in first week means he will win the golden boot bcos there are no alternatives.

  5. Yankee Toffee
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Start
    A) Montoya (WHU)
    B) Lundstram (CRY)

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Tricky one this. If we are all assuming lundstram is nailed then him. But Montoya isn’t the worst back up in the world if Wilder says he is going to go for it this weekend

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        On Montoya atm

      2. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        One is nailed, the other isn't and would probably be subbed on if not - easy one for me, if Lunny starts again then he's looking a great pick

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Tbf he could genuinely be a starter so I can't actually say it's easy, but you know what I mean

          1. Yankee Toffee
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Cheers m8

    2. SADIO SANÉ

      A

    3. swobe
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Tough. I'd go B as I'm looking to start Lundstram this week, but not convinced he'll get the 60 mins he needs.

  6. bigbudgie
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Liverpool haven't kept a clean sheet in 9 games

    1. swobe
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Adrian also nowhere near Allisons level. Will be tested this weekend.

    2. RUUD!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      very interesting statistic, remind me why I have Robbo and Trent?

      1. swobe
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        lol

      2. Carlton_Goal
        • 8 Years

        Attacking returns

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Sure they haven't but TAA can provide points with assists and is a freekick threat = goals. VVD can also provide goals. Both have plenty of bonus points in them too.

      What is more, you do not select one of the best attacking fullbacks (TAA) at 7m for a clean sheets.

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Wait.. We don't select a 7m defender for clean sheets? Lol. I've been doing this wrong all along.

  7. xHaTr
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Start Zinchenko or Diop?

    1. swobe
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Zinch.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Zinc

    3. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Zinchenko

  8. RUUD!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone considering C on Sterling instead of Salah, I am after last night.

    1. KujaliaFC
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'm considering Haller.

    2. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      It is tempting me, its a risk though, Salah will be by far the most captained

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      of course.

    4. Pinturicchio10
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yes but nothing to do with last night.

      • Carlton_Goal
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Also considering it, still on Salah at the moment though

      • schib1
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Done already!

    5. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Maitland-Niles a decent potential swap for KWP?

      1. Pinturicchio10
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Nah

        • Another Hoops
          • 8 Years

          He looked good but I believe Bellerin is on his way back soon.

        If you had to choose from these for the whole season (draft fantasy) who would you take?

        A) Willian
        B) Barkley
        C) Kovacic
        D) Jorginho

        1. Miguel Sanchez

            not B as he'd probably be shunted out with Mount around and if/when RLC's ever fit.

            Willian could be at risk with Hudson-Odoi nearing fitness.

            Best avoid all four, cus Pulisic seems the best Chelsea option 2 games in.

            I have Haller and might captain him for GW2, but I'm a fan of banking my FTs and using them 2 at a time.

            Used mine GW 2 last season and finished 31,000 so use it whenever you feel like using it pal.

            I'm tempted too. What's your team look like? My draft would be;

            Ryan
            Digne - Laporte - Robbo
            Mane - McGinn - Siggy - Sterling
            Joelinton - Pukki - Rashford

            Button - Wan Biss - Dendonker - Lundstram

          He has the sweetest left foot and could have had a hat-trick vs United....???

              Perez, King, Foster (lol what a shocker of a pick)

            • I Member
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              I would likely to still give Perez the Sheffield United and Bournemouth fixtures even if he blanks this week.

              Barkley on the chopping block for me.

            • The Ejiptian King
              • 5 Years

              Perez, Fraser is going regardless.

                  Because I want Martial and always planned to get him or Pulisic after these two fixtures.

                4 years, 7 months ago

                There's a lot of talk of "easing him in" but i think he will start and score.

                • 13 Years

                Hoping he starts and looks good but doesn't score. I want to save my ft and get him in next week at 7 or lower :). Pukki is very tempting though

            3. Hazardous1983
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Start dunk or lundtsrum

            4. Valar(Keith)
              • 14 Years

              Any Norwich fans on here? Will pukki be on penalties if vrancic doesn't start? And how likely is it that vrancic will be a starter soon?

              people actually want to get rid of barkley after Lampard rotated him for 1 game

              Honestly, i'm logging off

              1. The Train Driver
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                He's not starting, you can bookmark this...

                • 14 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Tbh with a player like barkley getting him in without scouting him for 3 to 4 gws may have been the mistake in the first place. So nothing wrong with someone accepting said mistake and wanting to correct it.

              3. I Member
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Do you see him starting after how well Chelsea played last night? Kante, Jorginho and Kovacic in a three seems like the way forward and he's not going to play on the wing ahead of Pulisic or Pedro. Mount seems to be ahead of him atm too.

                1. Valar(Keith)
                  • 14 Years
                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  This. I'd understand getting annoyed if someone wanted to get rid of Siggy or Jota for eg. But wanting to log off due to barkley just screams like reply bait.. And unfortunately we ve fallen for it and now are about to go down a rabbit hole of barkley explanation

              Option three: Sell Moura for Sigurdson (have 0,5 itb).

              Have a sneaking feeling Siggy is in for a big haul this weekend..
              An their fixtures are good going forward as well.

              Looking at the gameweek stats Emerson jumps out with 4 shots, 3 of which were in the box.
              I haven't seen the highlights, was he any good and is he expected to continue starting?

              1. I Member
                • 8 Years

                He looks super attacking. Was a big threat against Liverpool last night too.

                • 5 Years

                He played well against Utd and last night too, can't see Alonso coming back in anytime soon.

              Save FT for GW 2 then -4 for GW 3:
              Wilson -> Kane
              Salah -> KDB
              Robbo -> Laporte
              0.5m ITB to get pukki, jota, or haller (need to find another 1m)
              it is so risky playing without any Liv player but I change it to 2 City and 1 Spurs talisman. Kane will match Salah point however he is much cheaper and he is main penalty taker. Any opinion?
