The Scout Squad picks for FPL Gameweek 8

The Scout Squad team have assembled to submit their usual selections ahead of Gameweek 8.

In this weekly feature, 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 8 deadline at 11:30 BST on Saturday.

There are requirements for at least one sub-£5.0m goalkeeper, at least one defender under £5.0m, 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, as is the case in FPL.

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

DAVID SAID…

I fancy clean sheets for Burnley and Sheffield United this weekend, hence the inclusion of Nick Pope and Dean Henderson.

I’m also opting for their counterparts in defence, Matt Lowton and John Lundstram, both of whom have offered creative potential recently.

Trent Alexander-Arnold continues to be an auto-include for me, creating three chances per game over the last four Gameweeks.

Nicolas Otamendi remains the most nailed route into a Manchester City defence that faces Wolves this week – who have largely struggled at both ends of the pitch following their Europa League exploits this season.

With Kevin De Bruyne potentially out of action for the Gameweek 8 visit of Wolves, I fancy Riyad Mahrez to step up to the plate for Manchester City.

In the last four Gameweeks, the Algerian has played a key pass every 19 minutes, just one shy of De Bruyne’s one every 18.

On top of that, Mahrez has proved a better goal threat than his Belgian colleague. On direct free-kicks, the former Leicester man has registered nine shots on target from Gameweek 3 onwards, more than any of his colleagues – in just 287 minutes too.

Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) has come under some scrutiny of late but I’m backing him to deliver something against Leicester.

The Foxes may keep things tight at Anfield but the Egyptian has scored in every home match so far this season, averaging 12 points per game in front of his own fans.

I think Mason Mount still offers great value as Chelsea head to a Southampton side that I’ve never trusted at the back.

I’m giving both Todd Cantwell and Teemu Pukki another chance at home to Aston Villa this week.

The pair have averaged 13.3 and 7.7 points per game at home respectively this season while Villa have conceded seven times in three away matches so far.

John Fleck gets a minor mention for that very favourable fixture for Sheffield United at Watford.

As already mentioned, the Hornets defence continues to look poor this season while Fleck is joint-top among his colleagues for chances created and second for shots inside the box.

Despite playing 88 minutes against Dinamo Zagreb, I fancy Sergio Aguero to be back in the starting line-up for Manchester City this weekend after he was rested for the Everton game.

In the last few games, Aguero has had a tonne of chances but has been lacking some accuracy. I can’t help but feel like he could be close to a big haul. He looks hungry and almost angry right now – which could bode well against that Wolves defence.

However, those in possession of Aguero may find it hard not to look at moving to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Gameweek 8 onwards.

Without a blank yet this season, he’s at home to a Bournemouth defence that has always been leaky since their arrival in the Premier League several years ago.

NEALE SAID…

Shamelessly backing against my own club proved highly fruitful last week (Pereira, Schmeichel and Vardy) so I’m anticipating further misery on Tyneside this Sunday – if ever Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needed a fixture from which to kickstart his side’s stalling season, this is it.

The Manchester United defence has statistically been one of the better backlines in 2019/20 and they will encounter little of note at St. James’ Park this weekend, with Steve Bruce’s side in the bottom three for everything from goals scored to big chances created.

Harry Maguire is due a haul, I sense, and he is always in the picture at free-kicks and corners (more penalty box touches than Paul Pogba) – he even scored on Tyneside for Leicester City last season.

Daniel James may find plenty of joy, too, with the right-back slot a problem position for Bruce.

Speaking of penalty box touches, Ryan Fredericks has had more of those than any FPL defender this season. A limited Crystal Palace attack visit the London Stadium this weekend and the budget West Ham defender could get plenty of joy galloping into the spaces vacated by the gung-ho Patrick van Aanholt at the business end of the pitch.

Southampton haven’t been too clinical in front of goal this season and have been indebted to some help along the way, be it two goalkeeping errors (Adrian and Hugo Lloris) or a daft Steve Cook challenge in the clash with Bournemouth.

If Chelsea can avoid shooting themselves in the foot, then Marcos Alonso, who is third among defenders for xGI since his return to the Blues’ side, has the potential to cash in at both ends.

Aston Villa have allowed a league-high 40 chances from dead-ball situations this season so I’m plumping for set-piece specialist Emiliano Buendia, supplier of 17 chances and four assists, alongside the obligatory Teemu Pukki as Norwich enjoy home comforts again – Buendia, indeed, supplied an assist from a corner in this fixture last season.

Arsenal’s Europa League line-up on Thursday should hopefully provide us with some clues as to how Unai Emery will approach Sunday’s clash with Bournemouth.

If Bukayo Saka is rested for that match against Standard Liege, then the impressive teenage winger – who looked more convincing than Nicolas Pepe at Old Trafford on Monday – could offer us a budget route into a fixture that looks like a guaranteed goalfest.

My token budget forward pick is Neal Maupay, whose total of 16 shots in the box is inferior to just three other FPL forwards.

A wobbly Spurs side that has conceded more shots on target than any other club on the road (despite only playing three away games) and who shipped seven goals against Bayern on Tuesday should present the Seagulls with ample opportunities.

PAUL SAID…

The Gameweek 8 schedule looks promising for a number of big-hitters, with Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea worth considering at both ends of the pitch.

Chelsea’s first clean sheet of the season in last weekend’s win over Brighton certainly raises the appeal of their defenders.

While Fikayo Tomori is the budget option, Cesar Azpilicueta has impressed going forward in recent matches.

The Spaniard has supplied both of his assists in the last five Gameweeks and his underlying statistics look promising for his trip to Southampton.

Indeed, Azpilicueta’s 12 chances created ranks third among defenders this season.

Jose Holebas offers all-round potential for Watford’s home clash with Sheffield United.

Since Quique Sanchez Flores returned to Vicarage Road in Gameweek 5, the Greek’s four successful crosses and four shots on goal both rank among the top five defenders.

His visitors’ record on the road raises Holebas’ potential for a clean sheet, too.

The Blades have managed just 18 shots, eight efforts in the box and six attempts on target – fewer than any other side on all three counts.

Pascal Gross has been a little unlucky to pick up just a single assist in the first seven Gameweeks.

The Brighton playmaker has supplied 17 chances – bettered by only three other midfielders in FPL.

Gross’ dominance of free-kicks and corners can take advantage of the Spurs defence this weekend.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men have conceded 29 chances from set-plays, placing them third-worst in the Premier League.

Having lost 7-2 at home to Bayern Munich in midweek, Spurs’ defence looks there for the taking at the Amex Stadium.

GEOFF SAID…

Nick Pope is my goalkeeper of choice, playing at home to an Everton side who have scored once in three away games, and only six times in seven Gameweeks.

Similarly, Dean Henderson plays a Watford team with only four goals this season and a combined score of 0-10 over the last two Gameweeks.

Roberto Jimenez Gago gets a chance for his first West Ham clean sheet, after the injury to Lukasz Fabianski.

Trent-Alexander Arnold and Nicolas Otamendi get my first two defender slots and are followed by Harry Maguire, who plays a Newcastle side with only one home goal this season.

Fikayo Tomori and the Chelsea defence could come away with points at Southampton, while John Lundstram has that thing we so often look for in defenders: the potential for points at both ends of the pitch.

With Raheem Sterling and Mohamed Salah once again topping the midfield picks, Riyad Mahrez looks interesting as a second City midfielder.

Todd Cantwell has returned in each of his three home games with two goals and two assists, despite playing Manchester City and Chelsea, and I back him to continue that form at home to Aston Villa. Mason Mount has scored in Chelsea’s last two away fixtures and travels to Southampton in Gameweek 8.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has seven goals in as many Gameweeks and his run should continue at home to Bournemouth.

Teemu Pukki is my second forward pick; he has the third-highest RateMyTeam rankings for Gameweek 8 and is tied with teammate Cantwell for the best Gameweek 8 value.

I’m backing Tammy Abraham to continue his strong away form, and Sébastian Haller plays a Crystal Palace side who have conceded in every away game this season.

Finally, Chris Wood has three goals in his last two Gameweeks and should have chances against Everton.

THE COMMUNITY CHAMPION

Representing the community against the Scout Picks in Gameweek 7 will be Vobinho in Wengerland, who is currently lurking just outside the top 100k having risen over one million places in the space of two Gameweeks.

Last week, The Greenback Boogie beat the Scout Picks 54-52.

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.

Irfansheikh’s 17-point winning margin from Gameweek 6 is the target to beat.

    Any pressers today?

    1. mookie
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      According to the scout tweets, there are a few.

  2. FPL Hitman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    How much would Cantwell's absence hurt Norwich in terms of their attack? Was keen on giving the armband to Pukki but not so sure now. Will probably risk it on Aguero as don't have Sterling or Auba.

    1. Greko82
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      What happened to Cantwell?

    2. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Still be chances for Pukes at home imo.

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I actually think Cantwell will find himself rotated or dropped somewhere down the line. I have a number of Norwich supporting friends who like him, but they have the sense he's over performed if you buy that thinking.

  3. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    What is the Consensus.

    Hitta or zero Hitta.

  4. Greko82
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Who to start?
    a) lundstram
    b) Pieters

    Already starting Pope. Shall I double up?

    1. balint84
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Double up Burnley? why?

      1. Greko82
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Enough said...

    2. Hawk
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Lunds. He's basically a midfielder.

  5. balint84
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Last year KDB has a huge injury period, I think he will repeat

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Too early to tell. Without international break there would surely a lot more selling him.

      1. balint84
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        good point

  6. Cojones of Destiny
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    KDB -> Mount for free Y or N?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      No.

    2. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Nope, a few Chelsea accounts have mentioned Mount looks tired and could be due a rest this weekend.

      1. ppv
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Doubt Mount will be rested just to be fresh for England

        1. avfc82
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Yep understand that, but if he's in the red zone, knowing he'll probably start two games for England, it wouldn't be too much of a surprise if Lampard went with Hudson-Odoi from the start, especially if they play a 3 at the back system.

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

    Pope
    TAA - Ota - Soy(!) - Lundstram(!)
    Sterling - KDB(!) - Mane - Mount
    Tammy - Pukki

    (Greenwood, Montoya, Dendoncker)

    1 FT, 3m in the bank.

    Few issues in the starting lineup this week. Perhaps getting rid of one or both of Greenwood/Montoya might solve them?

    Thoughts?

  8. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Start one out of these and benching order of remaining three?

    A) Barnes (EVE)
    B) Cantwell (AVL)
    C) AWB (new)
    D) Lundstram (wat)

    Have KDB starting atm but depending on news I could bench him also if he's definitely ruled out or if it looks like he might be benched.

    Cheers! 🙂

    Hi guys, team is far from a shambles, but still feel like pulling the WC trigger to move a few things around, thoughts on this?

    Pope - 4.0

    Tomori - Robertson (sticking since the start and haven't the .2 to go TAA) - Otamendi - Lundy - Soyuncu

    Mane - Sterling - KDB - Cantwell - Mount

    Tammy - Wilson - Wood

    Robertson to matip allows Salah over mane, or pukki / Barnes over Wood?

    Any thoughts appreciated guys

    I'm relying on a Zinchenko start and I don't like it. Got a horrible feeling we'll see Angelino against the pace of Traore. Anyone else?

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Angelino is rubbish so I can't see it myself.

    2. mad_beer ✅
      • 9 Years

      I already sold him.

    3. Flaming Flamingo
      • 7 Years

      Good chance he starts imo

  11. Tshelby
    • 9 Years

    Last time one of my strikers scored a goal this season is gameweek 4 being Vardy who also is the only striker who scored a goal so far in my team..

    How is your season going?

    1. Karan14

      Last time I scored above 60 points was GW1.

      Hot and cold. Up and down. Like a rollercoaster.

      1, 3 and 6 all good. 2, 4, 5 and 7 poor

  12. wolves_simmo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    For GW 8-13 im thinking of the doing the below, crazy?

    Out: Salah (LEI,mum,TOT,avl,MCI,cry) & Pukki (AVL,bou,MUN,bha,WAT,eve)
    In: Mahrez (WOL,cry,AVL,SOU,liv,CHE) & Aubameyang (BOU,shu,CRY,WOL,lei,SOU)

    1. GreennRed

      What to do here? I planned to sell Salah + Haller and get Son + Auba but this KDB injury soils everything. Hayden suspended, Cantwell doubt??

      2. TaiwanHC

        Looking to do Wickham + Salah + VVD to Vardy + Son + Soy (-4).

        Good transfers?

      3. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years

          Go for it with Mahrez

          1. OptimusBlack
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Yes get Mahrez

        2. Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Sound move. You lose no money at all?
          I guess if Cantwell's out you are okay with Lundy? I'm still flirting with Cantwell to Yarmolenko because I stand to lose 0.3 on Kdb. Tricky.

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            PP 9.8
            SP 9.9
            CP 10.0

            If I sell now at 9.9 and he drops 0.1 to 9.9 then no. I think 1 drop is very likely right?

        3. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years

          same
          same Ota Soyuncu
          Son same same McGinn same
          same same
          Gunn same Firmino Rose
          A couple of tweaks and similar to me. I would wait

        Was planning on being all aggressive and doing Salah and Barnes > Yarmolenko and Auba with my 2 FTs, and then Pukki > Vardy next week.

        But if KDB and Cantwell are ruled out, may just do Cantwell > Guendouzi/Saka and save the other FT.

        *Sigh*

            Europa League line up tonight should give us a clear indication for Sunday too.

            Also, looks like Norwich's press conference is tomorrow so hopefully will get a clear update from Farke.

        2. MTPockets

          KDB + Greenwood
          to
          Yarmolenko + Auba

          (-4)

          Thoughts?

          1. OptimusBlack
            • 10 Years

            Yes

            Yarmolenko probably has more bear fighting experience than the others.

            Yay but has the potential to backfire spectacularly

            Could either turn out great or Aguero could bang 5 goals.
            Your decision to make

          Morning all!

          Potentially a silly question as I'm guessing I'm missing something but I've had KDB since the beginning of the season yet his price is 9.7? but he started at 9.5? Why is this?

          Many thanks and GL!

            Player prices rise and fall throughout the season depending on how many managers have transferred them in and out. KDB is current priced at £10m, you bought him at £9.5m a rise of £0.5m. If you were to sell him then you get 50% of his price rise ie £0.2m as its rounded down which gives you £9.7m. However if you sold him for £9.7m and you want to buy him back then you will have to pay his current price of £10m

            To buy a player the rises count 100% but for selling 50%
            For every .2 a player rises you can sell for .1 more

              "The price shown on your transfers page is a player's selling price. This selling price may be less than the player's current purchase price as a sell-on fee of 50% (rounded up to the nearest £0.1m) will be applied on any profits made on that player"

              Thank you.... All explained very well! Makes perfect sense now. He will be sitting firmly on my bench this week then if its not long term. Good luck in your GWs

            Digne haul to destroy the scout picks 🙂

            Also, how was mo last night? Missed the game. Finding form again?

              He's still getting a fair bit of stick despite the goals, didn't see the full match but Mane looked sharper in the highlights.

                • 12 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                Mane looked sharper/more central on the weekend too.

                • 7 Years

                Might go Mane on WC. Seems the better pick this season

                  For me it's one issue only - captaincy. If you feel good about that, then it looks good.

                    Mane at home is a monster. I’d captain. I always get that wrong anyways so it would be one less headache haha. What captain you on this week? I’m on Sterling

            Those who has KDB but no Sterling, will they transfer him?

              Priced out.

              Would have to be Hit for Rahrez or D/B ilva.

                Rahrez (a hybrid of Raheem and Mahrez would be some player!)

            Why are people losing their minds over the Cantwell ‘injury’? Is there some news I don’t know about?

            Or is this all based on 1 random tweet which said he felt something in his hamstring so stopped training but that hopefully he will be okay?!

            1. Le Bluff
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Cantwell is the ideal bench replacement for KDB's near-certain injury this week, hence all the talk about it.

              All based on that 1 tweet for now but obviously waiting on Farke's presser before doing anything.

              1. TheDragon
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                Unfortunately / (fortunately) KDB and Cantwell were in my staring 11 for this week.

                I’ve got AWB to come in (assuming he is fit should be a clean sheet) but I’m struggling if both are out.

            Potential wildcard. Any comments guys?

            Pope Button
            Ota Pereira Soy Lund Reid
            Sterling Mahrez Son Mount Dendoncker

              Wilson -> Vardy next week

              Allison is in contention for this weekend. Liverpool defence is going to explode soon - TAA or a Robbo would be a non negotiable if I wildcarded now

                • 8 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                I have both and don’t plan on selling, I don’t think the fixtures are as tough as everyone makes out, plus the FBs are so attacking...

                1. TheDragon
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  Agreed

                  TAA is one of the highest scoring defenders in the game and that is basically without any clean sheets! When they stop conceding his points will be crazy

            Taking a punt on Mahrez for my WC team. Initial thoughts guys ?

            Pope
            Trent Tomori Soyunci
            Sterling Mcginn Mount Son Mahrez
            Vardy Aubamayang

              Looks great for the next 4-5 weeks - bench is pretty week though given Mahrez rotation risk

              I like Vardy and Auba but I don't want to sacrifice Pukki and Abraham just yet. I went to Leicester defenders instead. See my team below.

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

            This requires a minus 4 and will be determined on KDB/Bilva news
            Pope Gunn
            TAA Perriera Ota Lund Soyuncu (2 Leicester defenders a bit dodgy)
            Son Sterling McGinn Cantwell Mahrez (Mahrez still a maybe)
            Auba Pukki Abraham
            Ideas?

                Obviously what I think too but I am 200k and made some bad calls and lousy luck.
                I think the KDB move is going to be the main decision for this year.

            Just seen on Twitter that Cantwell left trainin early yesterday with a hamstring tweak. Hope there's nothing in it as with KDB already on my bench it would leave me quite thin

              There is no valid source as far as i have seen.

                I agree mate. That's what I've come across. Not trying to scaremonger as I own him. Guess we may find out the credibility tomorrow

            What's everyone doing with De Bruyne?

            A. Stick
            B. Move to Mount
            C. Move to Mahrez
            D. Move to someone else

              B moving mountains
              C if KDB out for a while and Bilva suspended.
              A for now I think
