Scout Picks

Salah and Sterling headline Gameweek 2 Scout Picks

Liverpool and Manchester City’s big guns are still important assets for Fantasy Premier League managers to own for Gameweek 2.

Once again, we have three premium options selected in our Scout Picks for this weekend, what we believe to be the best starting XI for the upcoming round of action.

This has been chosen using the Scout Squad selections made by David, Neale, Paul and Geoff earlier in the week.

For Gameweek 2 we line-up in 4-4-2 once again, this time coming in at £82.6m, £0.4m inside our budget of £83m.

Goalkeeper

Ryan scored nine points in Gameweek 1

Mathew Ryan (£4.5m) was an eleventh-hour addition to the Scout Picks after news of Adrian’s injury filtered around the Fantasy community. The Liverpool goalkeeper was originally given the nod but doubt over his starting place meant we had to drop in. Ryan is his replacement after facing no big chances in Gameweek 1 while West Ham could be without both Felipe Anderson and new signing Sébastien Haller.

Defenders

Trent Alexander-Arnold in action for Liverpool against Norwich

While Liverpool’s defence has not inspired confidence in Fantasy managers this week, Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.0m) was still a popular option in the Scout Squad submissions. Neale, Paul and Geoff selected him as the best defender for Gameweek 2, David slotting him into second place. Despite conceding against Norwich, the right-back was top for key passes and big chances created at Anfield on Friday night.

Lucas Digne (£6.0m) was another hugely fashionable option according to the Scout Squad pundits, tipped by all four of them. While there are cheaper assets in the Everton defence, the £0.5m is worth paying this week for Digne’s involvement in set pieces. Watford conceded more chances from dead-ball situations between Gameweeks 21 and 38 last season. The Hornets also failed to register a single big chance in Gameweek 1, so a clean sheet is also on the cards for the Frenchman.

Neale and Geoff both selected Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£5.0m) in their Scout Squad selections ahead of Burnley’s visit to the Emirates stadium. Arsenal kept a clean sheet in Gameweek 1 and it was the right-back who got the assist for their only goal of the game.

After being the talk of the town for the last few weeks, John Lundstram (£4.0m) makes his Scout Picks debut for Gameweek 2. The Sheffield United asset faces a goal-shy Crystal Palace side this weekend and created two big chances in Gameweek 1, the joint-highest in the whole division.

Midfielders

Mohamed Salah scored against Norwich City in Gameweek 1

Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) remains our favourite option in the Liverpool attack ahead of the trip to Southampton. The Saints were particularly leaky at home last season, only Manchester United managing fewer clean sheets in front of their own supporters. Furthermore, Salah was top of the league for shots in the box and shots on target in away matches in 2018/19. Any concerns over his 120-minute outing midweek were eased by Jurgen Klopp’s assurances in his Friday press conference.

While Salah was the unanimous first-choice midfielder, Raheem Sterling (£12.1m) occupied the second-place spot for all our Scout Squad pundits. No player had as many shots on target as him in Gameweek 1, while Spurs did not look too assured at the back against Aston Villa.

Like his defensive colleague, Gylfi Sigurdsson (£8.0m) looks set to benefit from Watford’s vulnerability to set-pieces in Gameweek 2. The Icelandic international created 45 chances in home matches last season, only Eden Hazard and James Maddison fashioning more than that.

Something of a left-field inclusion in the Scout Picks this week is Norwich City midfielder Emi Buendía (£6.0m). We were a big fan of Teemu Pukki in the Scout Squad but needed to save some money for spending elsewhere. Buendía is not necessarily a massive step-down though. He created three chances at Anfield on Friday night and his role in set pieces could help unlock a Newcastle side that conceded the joint-most chances from dead-ball situations in the whole of 2018/19.

Forwards

Aubameyang got the only goal in Arsenal’s win at Newcastle on opening weekend

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) has a fantastic record of scoring against Burnley, with a brace in each of his last three matches facing the Clarets. He was also afforded the joint-highest number of big chances in home matches across the 2018/19 season.

There was plenty of backing for Bournemouth’s attack in the Scout Squad submissions but we, unfortunately, ran out of cash for one of either Callum Wilson or Ryan Fraser. Josh King (£6.5m) deputises for his Cherries colleagues then, as we expect a return to last season’s attacking form in an open game at Villa Park.

Substitutes

Martín Montoya (£4.5m) makes the bench this week, after Neale and Paul included him in their Scout Squad selection. The defender looks likely to retain his place at right wing-back for the visit of West Ham, who could be without key attacking personnel.

John McGinn (£5.5m) made a great start to life in the Premier League scoring on his top-flight debut at Spurs. Bournemouth come to Villa Park in Gameweek 2, with a defence that’s hard to trust, so we won’t be too shocked if McGinn gets more attacking returns this weekend.

As already mentioned, we didn’t have the cash for Teemu Pukki (£6.5m) in our final XI but we still think he will do well in Gameweek 2. He had three shots in the box against Liverpool, the same number he had per game in the Championship.

The Scout Picks Captain

As we mentioned last week, the Scout Picks now has a captain in the 2019/20 season.

This skipper is chosen using the conclusions of the latest Captain Sensible article and a four-way vote between David, Neale, Paul and Geoff.

Because the use of Fantasy Football Scout data is used so heavily in this process, the captain we choose each Gameweek will be known only to those who have signed up to Membership for the 2019/20 season.

It will be revealed to the public only when the deadline for the Gameweek has passed.

The Community Champion

Representing the community against the Scout Picks in Gameweek 2 is Hot Toddy.

They have opted for a 4-4-2 of: Leno; Digne, van Dijk, Coleman, Alexander-Arnold; Fraser, Martial, Sterling, Richarlison; Aubameyang, Pukki.

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.

Unfortunately, our Community Champion did not submit a team in Gameweek 1.

    Ok the blades fan has installed major doubt now, back to the bench you go.

    1. timmmuh

      agreed .. putting in soyuncu and hoping for a chelsea hangover.

      They all thought the same prior to GW1 though.

      Who?

      1. timmmuh

        All the Sheffield supporters on FFS were downplaying his involvement

          Yea. But as Hamezmace said that's what they told about him prior to GW1.
          Created the best chances in the whole team last match. If I had him I'd start him over any non premium defenders

          Nah, waiting too. Just that over half the players will be in div 8.

                  unless your HOF is pretty high, you'll likely start next year in div 8 anyway, so won't have lost much.

                  1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
                    • 10 Years

                    That is fine as I’m not that serious about this game

              A total of 5983 managers have entered the first season of FFS H2H. This was far more than I had anticipated and means we’ll have a total of 300 leagues.

      What is the story with that anyway?

      I thought it was a cup format thing but all i see is a normal league table.

      1. Annie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        it's being managed outside of normal FPL H2H, due to number of entries. It's a H2H, in leagues of 20, playing everyone twice per season. You get promoted/relegated based on finishing position. 8 Divisions, determined by HOF rank.

          It should be good craic when it gets going so especially if you get draw against someone you know on here.

          1. Wild Rover
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Not much chance of that

  3. Rolls-Royce
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Pick one on Wildcard:

    A. King
    B. Jota

    D. Other?

    Kane and Pukki are the other two forwards.

    Cheers!

    2. timmmuh
      • 8 Years

      Hopefully Adrian plays ... based on what he said, it sounds like he will.

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        guess he will

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

      Over budget surely

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        nope

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

          really

          I have same team but can afford way less in defence

          1. Eleven Hag
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            whats ur bench....button lund grenwood debronker here...n got martial before price rise

              • 5 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Right you are. Sorry miscounted. Have Wilson up top currently but might reconsider.

              Nice side.

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Amazing what only one of Salah / Sterling can do for the rest of the team. Very nice.

    5. Sadio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I would pick Emerson over Wan B

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        i think with signings of AWB and Mcguire, our aim this season will be be solid at the back and see what we can do at the other end....

    6. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      That's a really nice team. Mane coming to the party will be a big green.

  6. acidicleo
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Help please

    Play 2...
    A. Barkley
    B. Perez
    C. Montoya

      Bc

  7. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    What lampard said about mount was a little complicated imo. Do you think he will start or barkley?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Barkley probably

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        How so?

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

    1. Garth Marenghi

      Hold

    2. Twisted Saltergater

      Scout picks think you should do the reverse

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

        they couldn't afford Pukki in the first XI

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Same price as King, no?

    3. Hutchiniho
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Pukki.
      Would have said Wilson over both

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years

    Pope / Button.
    TAA / VVD / Digne / Montoya / Kelly
    Salah / Sterling / Perez / Barkley / Dendoncker
    Wilson / Wood / Jota

    Aside from Button, which three players on the bench, and which order?

        Wondered if about benching Wood (or someone else) for Montoya given the scout picks.

    Is Kelly not more viable than Lundstarm (possibly) starting and would you rather digne and Maitland Niles or Vvd and dunk or another 4.5 million defender?!

        Well dont copy that whatever you do

  15. Erez Avni
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    So Moura needs to go. Thats final.
    I really cannot decide between Martial or Siggy/Richa... I need some good advise.

    1. Four Hit Wonder
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Martial is not very good OOP, Richarlison streaky and invisible. Siggy is my choice.

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      See who appears this weekend.....

  16. Punter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Shall I bench

    A) Montoya (WHU)
    B) Moura (mci)
    Or even C) Zinchenko (TOT)

    I'm thinking B but feels like throwing in the towel on Moura who I'll likely ship out next GW

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

      Will can elk come into the side for Zinchenko? It sure I ca. See Walker getting dropped.

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

        *Cancelo

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A
      Top 4 players are top 4 players for a reason

      1. Punter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah but home v west ham who may be missing Felipe and Haller? I'm really banking on an attacking return if I play Zinch and Lucas

  17. Dananz
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Random comparison/Nostradamus time - Which pair do you think will score more long-term?

    A) Rashford and Mount/Barkley(whoever wins the spot)

    or

    B) Kean and Martial?

    (Thinking ahead for Wildcard)

  18. Hutchiniho
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Thinking of zagging to everyone’s zig

    Mane over Salah.

    Mane Seems to have looked sharper Than Salah for a while now.
    Points have to at least = ?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      1 million difference, corners, pens, figure head.......

    2. luk46
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Well, Mane mostly looks sharp ye, still think Salah should get more points tho, also on set pieces.

    3. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Close call right now

  19. It's his Job.

    G2G?
    Ederson
    Taa Vvd Digne Montoya
    Salah Perez Guendouzi Sterling
    Kane King

    Button Lundstram Dendonker Greenwood

  20. Rasping Drive
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is it sheer folly to play Lundstrom ahead of Laporte?

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

      lol

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years

      Yes

    3. Hutchiniho
      • 5 Years

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years

      Have a word with yourself!

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        We don't even know if Lundstram will start home games.

    5. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        So you all think Spurs are less likely to score than Palace? Hmm.

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I think Lundstram won’t start

          1. Rasping Drive
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Ok. That settles it. Cheers Rover.

    8. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

      What have you done with RD? 😯

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Is this a big problem with 4 at the back ? . The temptation to chase clean sheets with poor options will surely impact your ability to get attacking returns from defenders which is surely the point of having 4 at the back ?

      2. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Haha. Yeah. Point taken.

        1. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          That was a reply to Rover

    9. Chasing Waves
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Can see a tight game vs Spurs so yes for me

  21. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    G2g here chaps?

    Ryan
    Robertson VVD Zinchenko
    Salah(C) Sterling Bilva Perez Buendia
    Wilson Jota

    Button Guilbert Rico Greenwood

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Nice. Switch captain to Sterling.

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Debating it yes. Want to go with the masses though this early on.

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes- Buendia nice choice!

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Had him from GW 1. Came in for Bilva. Have been singing his praises all pre-season. Hopefully he can deliver.

        1. Party time
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I like him too. I've got both Pukki and Buendia

    3. Kasper the ghost keeper
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Start Dendonker or Cahill?

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Tim

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

        Gazza, personally think Roy makes that decision for you though

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

        Yeah Tim, either he starts or sit one out.

      4. Kasper the ghost keeper
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers think I'll chance Tim!

    4. Baked baines

      What an absolute remotely average scout pick team this week.

      1. Liber
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Points will tell 🙂

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        If there was a week not to have Sterling and Salah in the Scout Picks, this was the week.

        Surprised Siggy or Richarlison isn't in there.

        1. Pukki Party
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Siggy's there

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        What would your 11 be?

        1. Baked baines
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Heaton

          Dunk VVD Digne TAA

          McGinn Sterling Siggy Pepe

          Aubameyang Wilson

      4. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Remotely average. Does that mean... not very average?

    5. Liber
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      You think Murray starts for Brighton lads?

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yes, but subbed early.

    6. And nothing else Mata'…
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      McGinn is at 91.9% currently on fplstatistics.com.How likely will rise tonight?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Nearly 92% chance.

      2. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Now 93.2 so very likely

      3. Kun Tozser
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Safe

    7. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Captain Auba or it’s a different Burnley this year?

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Burnley are always the same

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

        It’s been the same Burnley team for years and this particular player keeps scoring against them 3 games in a row. I think he’ll do okay

      3. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Think if you have Auba then captain

      4. Gizzachance
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        cap auba, good home fixture

      5. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Arsenal usually turn Burnley over. If I had Auba I'd give it to him.
