The Scout Squad picks for FPL Gameweek 6

The Scout Squad team have submitted their selections ahead of Gameweek 6.

In this piece, our four regular panelists – editorial staff Paul, David and Neale plus community manager Geoff – 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) for the weekly Scout Picks selection ahead of the Gameweek 6 deadline at 19:00 BST on Friday night.

There are requirements for at least one sub-£5.0m 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.

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 I mentioned on Tuesday’s episode of the Scoutcast, I am not that inspired by many defensive assets on offer right now.

I fancy Newcastle, Crystal Palace and Brighton to have a decent chance of keeping clean sheets in Gameweek 5 which is why I’ve gone for Martin Dubravka, Vicente Guaita and Mat Ryan.

As for defenders themselves, I’ve tried to keep it all about attacking potential given the generally poor clean sheet potential around the league.

Lucas Digne and Trent Alexander-Arnold have both offered plenty of threat from set-pieces in recent weeks, and are the two top options for chances created in the last four Gameweeks among defenders.

The Everton man seems the more likely of the two to keep a clean sheet though, given Sheffield United have misfired a little of late and Liverpool face a Chelsea side with goals in them.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles has had more touches in the box than any Arsenal defensive colleague and has two assists so far this season ahead of Aston Villa’s trip to the Emirates Stadium.

Patrick van Aanholt faces a Wolves side that has largely uninspired following European commitments in 2019/20 and has had the joint-most shots in the box of any Palace defender.

Finally, Lewis Dunk poses a threat from set-pieces against a Newcastle side that has generally struggled against dead ball situations since the start of last season.

I am keeping faith in the Manchester City midfield by selecting both Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne for the visit of Watford.

The Hornets may be under new management, but their defence has been woeful since January and I can’t see Sanchez Flores being able to affect that too much in his short time back at the club so far.

Rested from the Norwich game, De Bruyne should be back in the side, while Sterling was unfortunate not to get something against Norwich.

I’m backing Mohamed Salah over Sadio Mané for Liverpool’s trip to Chelsea as last season he was the more reliable asset away from home.

James Maddison has been somewhat unfortunate not to produce more attacking returns in recent weeks. Over the last four Gameweeks, he has been afforded the same number of big chances as Pukki, Haller and Mané, whilst creating seven of his own. While Spurs were heavy winners against Palace, I expect Leicester to cause a few more problems.

Finally, Todd Cantwell has to be included in my submission given that he is in the process of being promoted from a fifth-midfielder to a fourth after another attacking return triggered more price rises this week. It’s Burnley up next for him.

Up front, I’m sticking with Sergio Aguero for this week as I’d expect him to get some minutes against Watford – and you’ve already seen what I think of their back-line.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is yet to blank this season and a home match against a Villa side with no clean sheet on the road so far this season looks unlikely to stand in the way of that trend continuing.

Meanwhile, Teemu Pukki and Tammy Abraham are both inside the top five for shots inside the box over the last four Gameweeks, which suggests their goal-scoring form is sustainable for at least another round of action.

NEALE SAID…

After the euphoria of the victory over Manchester City, who better to bring Norwich City back down to Earth than Sean Dyche’s no-nonsense Burnley side.

The Canaries conceded one headed goal last weekend and a lot more chances in the air besides, continuing a season-long trend: no Premier League team has allowed as many headed opportunities as the Canaries or have allowed more crosses from their right flank.

With that in mind, I’m backing Burnley left-winger and cross-machine Dwight McNeil to collect another assist, with the likes of Chris Wood, Ashley Barnes and the Clarets’ two centre-backs to aim at.

As a Raheem Sterling owner, I have glass-half-full concerns over the City winger’s game-time against Watford after his ninth successive start for club and country in Ukraine on Wednesday.

Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Aguero have both had breathers in the last seven days, however, and I’m backing the league’s leading big chance-creator and joint-leading shot-taker against a Watford team without a clean sheet since February; Quique Sanchez Flores has miracles to work if he is to steer his Hornets side to a shut-out at the Etihad.

Chelsea’s left-hand side could be seriously weakened if Mason Mount and Emerson Palmieri are sidelined for the visit of Liverpool and the thought of Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold up against Marcos Alonso is enough for me to overlook Sadio Mane and Andrew Robertson on the opposite flank.

Arsenal’s defensive problems are well-documented but in Aston Villa, they are up against one of the limpest attacks in the division.

Dean Smith’s side have conceded the second-highest number of chances and crosses from their right flank, too, so there are prospects of returns at both ends for Sead Kolasinac.

On top of that, no side has conceded more attempts from set plays than the Villans – so I’m backing Dani Ceballos to end his three-game drought in a game that should suit his skill-set a lot better (i.e. Arsenal bossing possession) than the Watford fixture did.

Whether he’s stationed at left wing-back (as in the Burnley game) or marauding forward from centre-half, Dan Burn has the potential to deliver against Newcastle.

The Magpies have the lowest xG in the division so far this season and only Norwich have allowed more headed opportunities, so the 6’7″ stopper – who has had more attempts on goal than Shane Duffy and Lewis Dunk combined – could prosper at either end of the pitch. He’s a Geordie, too, so Fenton’s Law dictates that a goal is inevitable.

PAUL SAID…

A distinct lack of resilience throughout the Premier League means my five defenders are mainly selected for their attacking potential.

Fabian Schar – if fit – can be an ideal differential with a mere 2.1% ownership ahead of a visit from Brighton & Hove Albion.

The Newcastle United centre-back scored three goals at home last term and found the net in his previous fixture at St James’ Park.

Schar claimed 16 points over Gameweek 3-4 prior to the Magpies’ loss at Liverpool last weekend.

A return to form earns Richarlison a place in midfield for Everton’s home clash with Sheffield United.

The Brazilian has two goals and an assist in the last two Gameweeks, including a 15-point haul in his previous match at Goodison Park.

Since moving to the right flank and playing as an inverted winger from Gameweek 29 last season, Richarlison has recorded 31 shots in the box – level with Sadio Mane and bettered only by Raheem Sterling and Mohamed Salah among FPL midfielders.

Burnley pair Dwight McNeil and Chris Wood also get my backing at home to Norwich City.

The Canaries’ weakness in the air is a big factor in choosing Wood over his fellow frontman, Ashley Barnes.

Daniel Farke’s men have conceded 23 headed efforts, at least eight more than any other side.

That also bodes well for McNeil, whose share of set-pieces raises his potential for assists.

The winger’s ten successful crosses rank top for the Clarets and have been bettered by just four other midfielders.

GEOFF SAID…

Hosting Brighton in Gameweek 6, I look to Martin Dubravka and Newcastle for my first goalkeeping spot. With clean sheets in both home games this season, Vicente Guaita hosts Wolves, and though we’ve only had three games end 0-0 this season I predict a fourth, with Brighton’s Mathew Ryan picking up clean sheet points.

While Everton are on a three-game run without clean sheets, Sheffield United at home looks promising for Lucas Digne at both ends of the pitch. I again include Trent Alexander-Arnold, before looking for a response from Manchester City, where Nicolas Otamendi has some threat from corners. With the most assists for Arsenal this season I’m hoping for more from Ainsley Maitland-Niles, and I’m doubling down on the Newcastle defence with Jamaal Lascelles.

While Raheem Sterling once again finds the top midfield spot I back Sadio Mane over Mohamed Salah this week. Nicolas Pepe assisted in his last home game and a home game against Aston Villa could be the week he breaks out for a big score. Budget darling Todd Cantwell plays Burnley, with Manuel Lanzini following behind in fifth position hosting Manchester United, who have yet to keep a clean sheet away from home.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has attacking returns in every Gameweek and has five of the eight goals scored by Arsenal players, while Aston Villa have yet to keep a clean sheet away from home. Teemu Pukki is close to an automatic pick due to his form, while Ashley Barnes and Joshua King are selected due to their favourable fixtures. Occupying a perhaps surprising fifth position, Sergio Aguero must look at those ahead of him with mounting motivation. Writing before Manchester City’s Champions League fixture, I fear Aguero won’t get a full 90 against bottom-of-the-table Watford. Though always a dangerous option, I see value in other, less expensive forward options this week.

    Anyone look at Cantwell’s output and think he only gets points in home games? How legit would this implication be from 5 weeks of data?

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      to little data imo, burnley and crystal palace away next will tell us more

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Unbenchable in the next 4 games or so, me thinks, if Norwich continue to play gung-ho attack.

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I just dont get that at all, and its becoming part of herd mentality on here that he's unbenchable. He will be my first sub most weeks for def! Pukki on the other hand is unbenchable 🙂

        1. Differential C (Mark)
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I just think, with Norwich scoring a high volume of goals, and their attacking philosophy, I dont see how I can bench a Norwich midfielder who scores goals. Pukki ofc unbenchable, but I think Cantwell is possibly in that bracket. too.

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            if he hauls again this weekend I'll have to start agreeing you lol

        2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          It's more of a case of; at that price and that value, why not play him every week and buy a 4.5 as your 8th attacking player? Saves you a lot of money and your team is a lot stronger.

      He was little a few millimetres away from scoring against West Ha, too.

    Pope
    LAPORTE Robbo TAA Digne
    TROSSARD Sterling Salah Mount
    Pukki Haller
    (4.0 Greenwood Dendoncker Rico)

    a) Laporte, Robbo & Trossard > Aurier, Otamendi & KDB (-4)
    b) Laporte, Mount & Trossard > Aurier, Cantwell & KDB (-4)

    1. Taffer
      • 10 Years

      Can you afford Vert instead of Aurier? Don't like Ota at all tbh -- think I'd prefer Matip

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

      Nice team I'd do B

  3. Taffer
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on this?

    Pope -- Button
    AWB -- Kelly -- Lundstram -- Dunk -- Soyuncu
    Sterling -- Mane -- KDB -- D. Silva -- Mount
    Greenwood -- Kane -- Pukki

    2T, WC played. 0.3 ITB.

    Thinking a mini-wildcard (-4) with Mount > Cantwell, Kane>Kun and D.Silva>Guendouzi/ Dendonks. Cantwell to be a 4th mid for a while. Leaves enough cash for Greenwood > Tammy next week. And Kun (c).

  4. Cojones of Destiny
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    whod you inlcude in starting XI:
    a. cantwell
    b. mcginn

    1. Taffer
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Cantwell

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Cantwell far better considering how attacking Norwich are compared to Villa!

  5. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    What to do here?

    Pope
    TAA Montoya Lundstrum
    Sterling Mane KDB Mount* Cantwell
    Aguero Pukki

    Button Pieters Soyuncu Wickham (1FT 0m itb)

    Was thinking of doing Sterling, Wickham -> Son, Abraham but 0.3 off... could sell Mount but not sure about the options in that price range. Save?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Think you can save this GW.

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

      Abrahams is must sooner or later

  6. Kaiser123
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    I get the feeling Auba & Cantwell swap for Sterling and Greenwood would be good for the next few weeks. Just a gut feeling, but with Aquero in Sterling struggles.

  7. rodragon

    Tielemans replacement under 6.1.....need it to fund jota to pukki

    1. jia you

      A cheeky punt on James maybe?

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

      If you already own Cantwell then I'd say McGinn.

    Plan was Haller to Abraham stick to that and Lundstarm comes in for Mount?
    Cheers

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

      Abrahams is the best value forward

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Best value to date, best value till end of season or best value over next 5 GW's?

      2. mookie
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Not so sure about that, especially with Liverpool next.
        Pukki is nailed for 90 and did better so far. Also had tougher fixtures.

        Hmm that's what I'm not sure of. Need one back up def

  10. mikess

    Aubameyang or Aguero on a WC?

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

      Aguero and then downgrade to Aubameyang at the right time imo.

      1. mikess
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Only right time to ditch Aguero is when he's injured once a owner ha

        Pukki or Abraham then?

          Pukki

          Both if possible

    3. G Banger
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I like Aguero as rested in CL and Watford are pants, and then can move to Auba later with funds...

  11. tafrère
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    1.3 mil ranked team is :

    Adrian Button
    TAA Zinchenko AWB Lundstram Kelly
    Salah Sterling KDB Cantwell Dendoncker
    Kane Pukki Wickham

    2 FTs, £0.2

    So Kane is (finally) out, that's for sure. I still don't know who's taking his place though. Midterm I want to switch formation and play a 3-4-3. Unsure if I want to play A) 3-4-3 with three midprice forwards or B) 3-4-3 with one heavy hitter upfront.

    A)
    GW6 : Kane + AWB > Barnes + Digne
    GW7 : Wickham > Abraham

    B)
    GW6 : Kane > Aubameyang
    GW7 : Sterling + Wickham > Son + Abraham

    I think it's pretty even for the next three gameweeks, but for midterm, which trio do you like most ? :

    A) Sterling + Barnes + Digne + £1.1
    B) Aubameyang + Son + AWB

    Leaning towards A) for now since I think two City attackers are worth it considering their immediate fixtures. Plus I feel like my B) team would depend too much on Aubameyang (like my previous team depended too much on Kane performances, *sigh*). What's your views on this one ? Other ideas maybe ?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

      B I think

    3. Shineonme

      A for sure

  12. G Banger

    4 years, 6 months ago

    Morning all!... what would you do?... what WOULD you do?

    Pope
    Digne / VVD / Zinc / Lundstram
    Sterling / Salah / Mount / Lanzini
    Kane / Pukki

    Button / Dendo / Montoya / Greenwood

    A) Kane => Auba (C)
    B) Kane + Lanzini => Kun (C) + Cantwell

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

      how many FT and itb?

      1. G Banger
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        1 FT and 0.5 ITB

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

          A looks tempting but Kane and Auba is quite similar for me.
          Why don't Kane+VVD to Aguero+... ? Liverpool fixtures not good for defense. Maybe Alder/Aurier has strong fixtures.

  13. RIDZ
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    TAA+Wickham+Kane for Rico+Pukki+Aguero worth for -4?
    Already have VVD+KDB

    yay or nay

    If nay, I would go with VvD+Wickham to Rico+Pukki

        This feels about right

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

      100% both, who will replace Sterling? City left 5 points behind and lost against promotion, Pep won't take any risk I'd guess

      Haller Abraham

      Button, Dedoncker, Greenwood, Zouma

    4. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Was pondering this team going forward over the next few weeks with a few FTs. Obviously no Sterling which is a huge risk but I'm still keeping Aguero and KDB as City attacking coverage. Cantwell would become the 4th midfielder. Too risky and unbalanced with two heavy hitters upfront?

      Pope (Stekelenberg)
      Van Dijk - Soyuncu - Mings - (Lundstram) (Kelly)
      Salah - KDB - Mount - Cantwell (Hayden)
      Aguero - Aubameyang - Pukki

      (0.3ITB)

        I love it.

        I would go Salah/vvd->Mane/TAA

        I have this:

        Heaton

        Aguero Auba Pukki

        B. But it's over 2 million more?!

        got 2.4m ITB

      3. RIDZ

        easy B, both didn't play in UCL

      How nailed is Aurier...?

      I think I want him and will probably regret it 🙂

      1. Stef rocks
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        KWP is a treat but I think Aurier will play majority of the games

    7. dylano21

      Haller to abraham or save FT ?

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

        Keep faith for one more week

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

        Abrahams is a must

        1. Wally banter
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Noone is a must

    8. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling or aguero in WC?

      Aguero tempting me but sterling hasn’t become bad overnight and Jesus is lurking

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

        Sterling and go with budget forward like Pukki, Abraham, Haller,

        1. Rhodes your boat
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          My forwards are currently Pukki Abraham 4.5

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

            Then I'm more on Sterling. Because 2 out of 3 forward highest points are budget player. While top 3 mids are premium.

            Because Pukki & Abraham are enough, you may upgrade 4.5 to Ayew if you don't want deadwood.

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

        Aguero will be more of a rotation risk now jesus is back.

    9. Fernando Torres
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Son captain anyone?

      1. mookie
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Tempted but will probably captain KDB or Sterling. Watford's defence is as bad as it gets.

        1. Ange Ball
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          We said same with Norwich look how that went I think Salah is the man this week

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

        Nar sterling for me

    10. Dion D's Solo Shower
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Thinking of doing AWB + KWP --> Otamendi & Dan Burn (purely stats based) for a hit.
      Could it be worth it?

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

        I don't get it, you can do AWB to Ota right? Why do you have to take a hit?
        I won't take a hit for double transfer on defender personally

      2. Wally banter
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        wont sell AWB for a hit

    11. Ange Ball
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      BMendy to start on the weekend and play prem matches? Zin to play again? Wanna bring Mendy in

    12. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      If mount is injured for a but then The lack of options in midfield between the price of Cantwell and Son is quite shocking.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yep

      2. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yep. Hence why I don't wanna spend big up top. Spend in midfield because there are lots of budget forwards doing well.

      3. tucaoneo
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Maddison has good stats without much production. Always like that.

      4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I'm starting to look towards Siggy's ever declining price with more than a little interest

        He's had his few blanks it'll soon be time for one of his traditional 2-13-7-4-15-7 type spells

        But yeah the 6-8.5 mid field options seem thin on the ground at present

        Maddidon & Pogba both interesting also though

    13. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      So Mount to Cantwell this week and then for gw 7 Barnes to Tammy is my plan.

      2FT
      0.1 IDB

      Pope
      TAA, Digne, Lunds
      Salah, Sterling(C), KDB, Cantwell
      Pukki, Haller, Barnes

      Button, Hayden, Soy, Hanley

      G2G?

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        If Mount only out 1GW I would keep him personally

        1. AzzaroMax99
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I know, but I want Tammy and also think that 2 Che players are too much.

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Fair play. I just think I prefer Mount as a long term pick to Tammy. May go Wilson instead of Tammy

    14. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Morning

      Depending on Mount news, what do you think of these moves?

      VVD, Zinch, Dendo > TAA, Lowton, Cantwell (-4)

      To give me:
      0.5itb
      Heaton
      TAA, Digne, Lowton, AWB
      Salah, Sterling, KDB, Cantwell
      Pukki, Haller
      (Button) (Mount, Lunds, Greenwood)

      Would then hopefully move to 3-4-3 next week, bringing in Wilson or Tammy

      Alternative is to forget TAA, keep VVD and just do Dendo > Cantwel

      Thoughts?

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Do only Dend to Cant, save 2nd TF for next week and then get TAA.

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Just v worried TAA underlying stats will come good this week and he’ll haul, while I don’t expect a CS so VVD appeal is lower.

          Also Zinch not nailed in position and Lowton in a solid defence and has lovely fixtures.

          That was the thinking but I’ll admit it’s tempting to play it safe also and save an FT

    15. HD7
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      If no other injuries after European matches:

      A) Save
      B) VVD to Ota
      C) VVD to Aurier
      D) Mount to Lamela
      E) Mount to Buendia

      Pope
      Digne VVD Rico TAA
      Salah Sterling Mount KDB
      Abraham Haller

      Subs: Button, Greenwood, Dendonker, Guilbert

      1. Ange Ball
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        D

      2. mookie
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        B or A

      3. LangerznMash
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        E

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

        You don't have pukki so E

    16. ludaslol
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      AMN TAA VVD Lundestram Soyuncu
      Salah Sterling KDB Mount Dednocker
      King Pukki Greenwood

      2FT, 2.0 ITB

      I have no clue what to do here.. I know I have lots of options with 2.0 itb..
      What's ur first thoughts here? Get rid of who??

      Mount?

    17. Ozzy smith
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Switch to 343, VVD Zink Greenwood > Lowton Soyuncu Tammy for -4? Or wait to bring Tammy in after Liverpool to negate the hit? Conscious of Mount missing out.

      Heaton
      TAA Dinge VVD Zinchenko
      Salah Sterling KDB Mount
      Pukki Barnes
