Man City triple-up for Gameweek 4 Scout Picks

A Manchester City triple-up underpins the Scout Picks squad for Gameweek 4 as they prepare to host Brighton at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Selecting just three of their players proved difficult and we had to make some difficult choices sifting through David, Neale, Paul and Geoff’s Scout Squad submissions.

This week we line up in a 3-5-2 formation coming in at £82.9m, just £0.1m under our budget of £83.0m.

Goalkeeper

Tom Heaton is our selected goalkeeper for Gameweek 4

Budget goalkeeper Tom Heaton (£4.5m) is our man between the sticks for Gameweek 4 after all four of our Scout Squad pundits included him in their submissions. Aston Villa travel to a Crystal Palace side that has largely struggled in front of goal this season. They may have found the net twice on the counter-attack at Manchester United, but prior to that, they had blanked in favourable fixtures in Gameweeks 1 and 2. Last season the Eagles scored the fewest home goals of any side that survived relegation too. Given Heaton’s history for making saves, we believe he could provide excellent value this weekend.

Defenders

Liverpool’s defence has not inspired confidence this season but Alexander-Arnold is offering plenty of attacking threat

Liverpool’s defence has been hard to trust for clean sheets so far this season, but Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.0m) is still displaying plenty of attacking threat. His 11 chances created so far this season is the second-best in the entire league, of any player in any position, such is his threat both from set-pieces and from open play. Therefore, he stands an excellent chance of being involved in Liverpool’s goals at Burnley. Three of our Scout Squad pundits selected him as the best choice defender this week, David putting him in the second slot.

Lucas Digne (£6.1m) gets into the Scout Picks for the third week in four as Everton prepare to host Wolves on Sunday afternoon. Nuno Espirito Santo’s men have been particularly goal-shy in the Premier League so far this season, finding the net just twice, once from the penalty spot and once through a world-class textbook Ruben Neves strike. The Europa League commitments appear to have taken a toll on Diogo Jota especially so it looks as if we’ll be in for a low-scoring affair at Goodison Park. Meanwhile, Digne continues to take set pieces for the Toffees, finding the net with one against Lincoln midweek.

With Brighton coming to the Etihad Stadium in Gameweek 4, a Manchester City defender should prove important. That’s why Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.5m) gets back into the Scout Picks for the first time since Gameweek 1 after David and Paul tipped him in their submissions. Pep Guardiola’s men have conceded the fewest shots and goal attempts in the box over the first three Gameweeks, arguably unfortunate to let in two set-piece goals in both of their most recent outings. Meanwhile, Zinchenko played more key passes than any of his colleagues in the Gameweek 3 win over Bournemouth.

Midfielders

Raheem Sterling was unanimously voted as the best midfield option by our Scout Squad panel

Raheem Sterling (£12.3m) is the best midfielder for Gameweek 4 for each one of our Scout Squad panel. The Manchester City attacker has five goals in his first three matches of the campaign and is also top of the league for shots inside the box and big chances. After registering a goal and two assists in two league matches against a more defence-minded Brighton outfit last season, it seems unlikely that Graham Potter’s new-look forward-thinking side will stop Sterling’s excellent run of form at the Etihad Stadium.

Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) is welcomed back to the Scout Picks XI after a week out in the cold, one in which he punished our lack of faith with a 15-point haul. The Egyptian very much looked back to his best against Arsenal, after underwhelming performances in Gameweeks 1 and 2. Burnley at Turf Moor is not an especially easy fixture, but if Liverpool are to make a breakthrough this weekend, Salah is the most likely to score based on his penalty-taking duties, and more shots on target than any other colleague so far this season.

Kevin de Bruyne (£9.7m) has been an exceptional creator in the league so far this season. He has played more key passes than any other player across the first three Gameweeks, fashioning the most big chances during that time too. We had to choose between Manchester City’s midfield maestro and centre-forward Sergio Aguero for the final member of our triple-up – it was the Belgian who triumphed. We believe that de Bruyne offers better value than his Argentinian colleague and has greater long-term appeal as a more nailed-on member of the first-team, Gabriel Jesus already making great progress coming back from his hamstring injury.

Fully recovered from his dead-leg against Norwich, Mason Mount (£6.2m) makes his debut in the Scout Picks XI. He is the latest differential option to get promoted to the top-flight of FFS advice, this week ahead of Sheffield United’s trip to Stamford Bridge. The Blades are not likely to be pushovers on Saturday afternoon but Mount looks like one of Chelsea’s key players under Frank Lampard already. He ranks top among his colleagues for goal attempts and shots on target, which is why the midfielder averages 6.7 points per game so far.

Todd Cantwell (£4.7m) is looking like a very effective enabler this season given his budget price and attacking potential. The ongoing injury to Norwich midfielder Onel Hernández should ensure the 21-year-old continues to start games on the left flank of Daniel Farke’s attacking 4-2-3-1 formation. That has allowed Cantwell to register three attacking returns in the first three matches of the season. Against a West Ham defence that has not looked solid at all this season, we are backing the budget man to continue his run of form.

Forwards

Sébastien Haller makes his Scout Picks debut for Gameweek 4

Sébastien Haller (£7.4m) gets into the Scout Picks after being tipped by all four of our Scout Squad pundits. Paul was especially fond of the West Ham man, selecting him as the best forward for Gameweek 4. Norwich’s defence has been quite obliging in the early part of the season, conceding more shots on target than any other side, and letting in the highest number of goals so far (eight). Haller looks a decent candidate to capitalise on the Canaries’ weaknesses at the back, having found the net twice against an equally leaky Watford defence in Gameweek 2.

As David mentioned in his Scout Squad submission, Teemu Pukki (£7.0m) has almost become an auto-include for the Scout Picks at this point. He has five goals in the first three matches of the season and from what we can see of the underlying statistics, this output in terms of attacking returns looks sustainable. We’ve already covered how poor West Ham’s defence has been in recent weeks in our entry for Cantwell, so against them, it seems unlikely that Pukki’s scoring run will come to an end.

Substitutes

Emerson (£5.5m) has been showing plenty of potential in the early weeks of 2019/20. The Chelsea left-back is joint-top for attempts on goal among defenders and is joint-second for efforts inside the box. Clean sheets have not been forthcoming for the Blues just yet, but a home match with Sheffield United could be the perfect opportunity for Emerson to deliver his first returns of the campaign.

Daniel James (£6.0m) has been a rare positive spark for Manchester United so far this season, finding the net on two occasions already. The injury to Anthony Martial should see his place in the side assured for Gameweek 4 and given he has had more shots inside the box than any other Red Devil in 2019/20, his goal threat is already making itself known.

Joelinton (£5.9m) gets onto the Scout Picks bench after also making into our Spot the Differential article for Gameweek 4. The Newcastle forward managed to find the net with very little service against Spurs last weekend and may enjoy more opportunities against a Watford defence that has started the season in poor form.

The Scout Picks’ Captain

As we have mentioned many times since the season began, the Scout Picks now has a captain for the 2019/20 campaign.

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 4 is InsaneFC.

They have opted for a 3-4-3 of Kepa; Zinchenko, Digne, Alexander-Arnold; Sterling, Lanzini, Mount, Maddison; Haller, Aguero (c), 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.

It was a close defeat for the Scout Picks in Gameweek 3 as FPL Mike the Knight won by a 46-44 scoreline.

That means Hot Toddy’s 10-point winning margin from Gameweek 2 remains the current score to beat.

    Greenwood red card coming to and FPL team near you

    1. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      You were close

      1. Wally711
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Everyone has the same question. Will he start and people including me will get like 1 pt

        1. Maddamotha
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          He will get game time, if he starts or get 30min I dont know. Hopefully there will be some news later. Question for me and for many others is if its worth taking out Martial for a hit? Could go both ways.

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      2 goals and 3 Baps

  2. kelvint93
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Start Hayden or Greenwood?

    Other option on bench is Lundstram but have mount in my starting xi

    1. CostaCoffee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Hayden

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

      Greenwood, Watford easy win today

  3. CostaCoffee
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Mount more than likely playing left wing again today, not sure if it makes him a better or worse option

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

      He is a nailed Chelsea mid on set pieces at 6. He is a good option regardless

      1. CostaCoffee
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        That wasn’t what I said though?

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I don’t think it makes any difference, he is bargain at this rate. Involving on everything for Chelsea

      1. Don Van Vliet
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Of course it does.

    3. mookie
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I think it'll be Willian, Mount and Pulisic, with Mount in the middle. (nonowner)

      1. CostaCoffee
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Barkley over Willian imo, Lampard seems to be using Willian as sparingly as possible. Could’ve used him as a like for like replacement for Pedro last week but went with Barkley instead

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A return would be enough.
      Sold Trossard for him in WC to play the fixture

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

      To be honest I havnet seen enough of him at Derby nor enough Chelsea under Lampard to have an idea if its better or worse.

      What I know is that he is cheap, in form and trusted by his gaffer which is good enough for me for now.

    6. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Played off the left vs Norwich and did well. Not enough data to know whether it makes him better or worse yet

  4. itsmeguneet
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone on KDB as captian? What say??

    1. Don Rogers FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He currently has my Armband but I don’t have sterling or Aguero. I do have Salah and Vardy though and prefer him to those 2.

    2. Frucke
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Going sterling

  5. FPLAdmiral
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Kane owners - what are you doing?

    Hold? Worth shipping for a hit for Aguero or Haller?

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

      Haller

    2. Fernando Torres
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Kane will score vs Arsenal

    3. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      I have to hold, because Martial was out.

    5. Frucke
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Spurs didnt look great..

  6. Willllsonnn!

    Glad to see 8 of the 11 scout picks in my team

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years

      Same here.
      Red arrow here we come

  7. borko
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    pope and pieters or adrian and christiansen...just for this gw?

    1. CostaCoffee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      For free then sure, not confident in a Liverpool clean sheet though

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

        i used wildcard ...its free for today 🙂 and i will bring back pope and pieters back in the next weeks

        1. CostaCoffee
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          If it’s just for this week then no, you’ll be forced to use transfers elsewhere and may not be able to get them back in

          1. CostaCoffee
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Maybe do Pieters to Christensen

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

        kelly or matilan niles?

        1. CostaCoffee
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Kelly

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

            i think that chelsea will have cs, i know silly me but i have salah and cant have pope

    2. JurgenRocks
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Pope and Pieter are definitely better long term. Chelsea and Liverpool aren’t doing great at clean sheets.

  8. InSaneMan-e
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    If you owned both Kun and Sterling, which would you captain?

    1. Wally711
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Kun for me

    2. itsmeguneet
      • 7 Years

        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Great team. Also on WC, only difference being:
        TAA - Suyuncu
        Wesley - Haller

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

          Yup. I really want haller. But it'd mean a defense downgrade and long term I'm not sure if it's worth it. Could go either way though. Good luck to both of us 🙂

          1. sneif4
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah, it was a coin toss for me. Good luck!

        Are you really benching Barnes?

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

          Was all set on starting him ahead of Wesley until I was convinced otherwise. Think I may jsut start him this week especially since I consider TAA to be an attacker anyway lol

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            • 12 Years

            think I've swayed to starting Barnes too now

            Ha ha
            Cheers mate
            I'm going with

            Pope Button
            Taa Digne Dunk Rico Lundstram
            Salah Sterling KDB Mount Cantwell
            Pukki Barnes Haller

      5. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years

        still cant decide on Cantwell vs barnes to start!

        1. sneif4
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Im starting Barnes, Cantwell first sub

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

          I may start Barnes ahead of Wesley yet. Cantwell makes it tricky. Quite fancy a 3 - 3 in that game 🙂

      Grey to Haller for -4 ? Really need to get some points had a rough start this year.

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        No Andre Gray could easily slot one past Newcastle away this afternoon

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

          It is a good fixture for Grey i admit. But thinking Haller could be better for the future aswell.

    7. HappyMonday
      • 9 Years

      Captain Aguero or Sterling?
      25pts behind leader who has Sterling but not Aguero

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Play safe. Aguero is a differential for you already

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

          Cheers

        2. dansmusen

          Yes so max that 🙂

      2. dansmusen
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Aguero fot sure. Great differential against you rival.

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

        Captain who you think will score more points, dont look at your opponents so early in the season.

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

          Problem is I have no idea! 😀

        Early days. No need to play catch-up.

    8. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      WC template for midfield and forward line:

      Salah KDB Sterling Mount
      Haller Pukki

      You just know it’ll end like this:

      2 2 2 2
      2 2

      Mornign dzz, Who to bench from?

      A: Perez (BOU) - Good fixture but might not start

      B: Cantwell (whm) - already have pukki, so would be doubling up. Not sure about how Norwich play away from home

      C: King (lei) - could be a tough fixture but hard to call. On pens but no much threat from open play? Haven’t seen any Bournemouth games so hard to tell

        Same boat
        I’m plumping for Greenwood.
        I think this is the best opportunity for a Greenwood start.

      3. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years

        Go for the wood.

        Unpredictable Spin a coin. Might be worth seeing if Utd team announced before deadline.

      5. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Even a pessimistic type like me plays Greenwood in this scenario

      6. benbro
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I think Chelsea are rubbish this season and Tammy getting two goals is not going to be repeated.

        SHU have been well organised and whilst I don’t expect them to keep a clean sheet the possibility is greater than of Gwood scoring.

        Word of caution. Lundstram has something like 3 goals in 5 years at all levels and whilst he is playing a bit more advanced this season I wouldn’t expect any regular OOP attacking returns

      Haller or Abraham?

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

        I see a problem with Abraham. If he have a average game he could easily get subbed early for Giroud.

      2. mookie
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Haller imo. He'll get more game time and as long as Anderson and Lanzini are fit they will create chances for him. A nailed Abraham will play 70 minutes or so.

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

          Haller

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

        Haller. Better player by about 100%

    15. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      What happened to the belief of having 2 LFC defenders pre-season. No one thinks they will tighten the back soon?

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        They will once Alison is back

      2. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I do but you have move with the early form

        TAA enough for the mo

      3. CostaCoffee
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        The whole system change at the back will take time. Allison being out doesn’t help things much either. To double up you’d want at least 3 clean sheets every 5

    16. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      People not afraid of Lundstram getting like 0 or 1 point? Or are they confident in him getting something attacking wise?

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I think you nailed it in the first question

      2. HappyMonday

        I wouldn't be starting him if I didnt have to

      3. mookie
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I think they are solid. Imo they won't keep many CSs but won't concede more than two often.

      4. benbro
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yes. He’ll get 1 today. Look at his career stats. Attacking returns are rare and even in a more advanced position whose he going to assist? Billy Sharp?

        They are ok at the back though and these overlapping cb’s is unpredictable but seems to work.

      Good morning.

      I hade a dream last Night that Mane scored 2 goals.
      Should i Captain him over Sterling?

      1. HappyMonday

        No

      5. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        If you had a dream that Mane scored more more goals than Salah, better wake up and apologize.

    18. MemberMax

      What you guys think..

      Option A (-8 points)
      Martial OUT Mount IN

      Firmino OUT Aguero IN

      King OUT Wesley IN

      Option B (-8 points)

      Martial OUT any 4.5 midfield IN

      Firmino OUT Aguero IN

      King OUT haller IN

      Option C (-8 points)

      Martial OUT any 5.2 midfield IN

      Firmino OUT Aguero IN

      King OUT Abraham IN

      Option D (-4 points)

      Martial OUT Ceballos IN

        TL:DR sorry.

        Think you need to reformat and possibly reduce options.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years

        Zouma

    20. tahmur
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Benching Cantwell or Barnes is my dilemma. Surely Liverpool are due a clean sheet now?

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

        Yikes tough one given the form of Barnes but I'm betting on a Liverpool clean too

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

        You can't bench a Norwich attacker in this game - any other options?

      3. benbro
        • 5 Years

        Wow! Nice dilema. Rest of team?

            Very similar to mine below. You just have a better defence. You seem to a much higher team value.

    21. Funny Face
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I've hit the panic button and I'm set to go with:

      Ryan (Button)
      Digne, Van Dijk, Mings (Pieters, Lundstram)
      Salah, Sterling, De Bruyne, Mount (Cantwell)
      Abraham, Pukki, Barnes

      Any major errors or suggestions to improve it?

      1. Ruud000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Haller over Abraham

        1. Funny Face
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Would need to downgrade elsewhere to afford this.

    22. Merlinho
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Bench 1 from Fraser, Ashley Barnes, Bernard and McGinn (draft)?

      I should probably bench Bernard but veering towards Barnes because it’s a H2H and I have Matip, plus I’m a Liverpool fan and i hate betting against my team!

    23. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Play 1 and first bench the other...
      A. Dendoncker (eve, slight fitness doubt).
      B. Greenwood (sou, starting doubt)

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

      Start Emerson over Cantwell, Greenwood? Have Mount for some Chelsea cover but brought Emerson in for a reason may as well play him

      1. CostaCoffee
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Emerson should 100% start over them, how is that a question

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

          I'm being irrational, so many on here hyping up Cantwell. But I guess it's not hard to imagine Chelsea fail to clean and Emerson blanks a 4th week in a row, whil Cantwell has form and a plum fixture

      2. Freaki
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Cantwell 100% gold fixture against WH

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

        Emerson yup

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Sold on my WC team now, atleast for this week, lol -

      Pope
      VVD Zouma Kelly
      Salah Sterling KDB Mount F.Anderson
      Pukki Rashford

      Button Greenwood Guilbert Lundstram

      A. Havent gone much premium on defense because I dont see points coming from there tbh
      B. Anderson seems like a crazy punt right?

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

        I like it mate, a bit dire on defense but your front 7 should deliver. I love the Anderson pick

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

        Attack is the new defense.. Ie TAA and Digne. Get them in somehow and enjoy watching 9 attackers every week 🙂
