Scout Picks

Gameweek 8 Scout Picks retains faith in Salah

We have kept faith in two of Liverpool’s most attacking players for the Gameweek 8 Scout Picks.

The visit of Leicester to Anfield has concerned some invested in Jurgen Klopp’s men but are still expecting a positive result.

The Scout Picks has been carefully put together using David, Neale, Paul and Geoff’s Scout Squad submissions from earlier in the week.

For this weekend we line up in a 4-3-3 formation and come in £0.5m under our budget of £83.0m.

Goalkeeper

Nick Pope has a favourable fixture this week as well as good form at home in 2019/20

Nick Pope (£4.6m) was a simple inclusion in the Scout Picks this week ahead of Burnley’s meeting with Everton at Turf Moor. The Clarets have already kept two clean sheets at home this season, against Southampton and Norwich, while Marco Silva’s men have found the net just once in three road trips. Meanwhile, Pope is currently fifth in the league for saves (24).

Defenders

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been a regular inclusion in the Scout Picks this season

Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.2m) remains a favourite of the Scout Squad panel, chosen as the best option in defence by three of them this week. Liverpool may not have kept a Premier League clean sheet at Anfield this season but they have conceded the fewest big chances of any side in the last four matches. Meanwhile, Alexander-Arnold remains the top defender for chances created in that period, fashioning eight more than any other player in his position.

Nicolas Otamendi (£5.5m) continues to be the most nailed-on Manchester City defender, which should see him do well against Wolves this weekend. The visitors had another exerting Europa League encounter on Thursday night and had to play nine of the players who beat Watford in Gameweek 7. That is far from the ideal preparation for a trip to the Etihad Stadium when Wolves have had troubles in front of goal this season. Only four teams have scored fewer goals than them on the road in 2019/20, while Manchester City have conceded the fewest number of shots in the last four matches.

Matt Lowton (£4.5m) joins the Scout Picks as part of a Burnley defensive double-up. We’ve already covered the Clarets’ clean sheet potential in Gameweek 8, why it’s the right-back getting the nod is his creativity. Erik Pieters may have more assists of any other Burnley defender this season but Lowton has created more chances than any other colleague bar Ashley Westwood. 

Despite graduating from the £4.0m bracket, John Lundstram (£4.5m) can still offer plenty of value in Gameweek 8. Watford remain in the bottom three for big chances this season while Sheffield United kept a clean sheet on their last away trip. Meanwhile, Lundstram continues to be a creative force for the Blades, only four players in the whole league fashioning more big chances than him in the first seven matches.

Midfielders

Salah has been reliable in home matches in all competitions this season

The Scout Squad have retained faith in Mohamed Salah (£12.5m), even ahead of a tricky meeting with Leicester City. The Foxes defence has been in good shape in recent weeks but Salah has done very well at Anfield this season. Every Premier League match there in 2019/20 has seen him produce attacking returns and if we factor in the latest Champions League outing, he has six goals in all competitions in front of his own fans this season.

A midweek rest for Raheem Sterling (£12.1m) should put him in a good place for the visit of Wolves to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Not only did the midfielder get most of the Dinamo Zagreb off, he also provided a goal and assist when he took to the pitch as a substitute. As already mentioned, Wolves have not had the best preparation for this trip and have conceded in each of their last two away matches. Gameweek 8 was another one in which we also like the prospects of Aguero but we could not quite squeeze him and Sterling into the line-up, the latter definitely a much more likely starter this weekend.

Two goals in two for John McGinn (£5.8m) has firmly placed the Aston Villa midfielder on the Fantasy radar once again. So far this season, only two players have registered more shots on target than McGinn, which bodes well for a trip to Norwich this weekend. The Canaries have conceded 15 goals in the first seven matches, only Watford have shipped more, and are yet to keep a clean sheet at Carrow Road in 2019/20.

Forwards

Fresh from a midweek rest, Aubameyang is back in the Scout Picks once again

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) is still yet to blank this season so it is hard to see his scoring run ending in a home match against Bournemouth. The Cherries have conceded five times in their three away matches this season and have historically struggled at the Emirates Stadium.

Tammy Abraham (£7.6m) looks in a good place to reward his owners’ patience in Gameweek 8. In the last four matches, he is behind only Aguero for shots in the box and tops the league for efforts on target. A continuation of that trend at a Southampton side without a clean sheet at home this season should see Abraham do well.

Gameweek 8 should be the week that Teemu Pukki (£7.2m) returns to the Fantasy conversation. While Norwich have struggled on the road this season, they have been full of goals at Carrow Road. Pukki himself has averaged 13.3 points per game there in 2019/20 while Aston Villa have conceded seven goals across their three away matches so far.

Substitutes

Given that we fancy Sheffield United’s clean sheet chances this weekend, it makes sense to include Dean Henderson (£4.5m) on the bench. He was selected by three of our Scout Squad panel.

Harry Maguire (£5.5m) came close to making it into the final XI based on Newcastle’s problems in front of goal this season. Ahead of hosting Manchester United, the Magpies are yet to score more than once in a match this season and have blanked twice at home already.

John Fleck (£4.8m) could be a tidy differential for anyone looking to capitalise on Sheffield United’s favourable trip to Watford. He is joint-top among his colleagues for chances created over the last four matches and is second for shots inside the box.

As we discovered earlier this week, Chris Wood (£6.2m) stands a good chance of continuing his scoring run when Everton come to Turf Moor. In the last four Gameweeks, only three players have been afforded more big chances than the Burnley striker.

The Captain

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.

Community Champion

Representing the community against the Scout Picks in Gameweek 8 is Vobinho in Wengerland.

They have gone for a 3-4-3 of Dúbravka; Holebas, Schär, Alonso; Zaha, D Silva, Willian, Saka; Firmino, Aguero (c), Kane.

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 win for the Community Champion in Gameweek 7 as The Greenback Boogie won by a close 54-52 scoreline.

irfansheikh‘s winning margin of 16 points from Gameweek 7 is the latest score to beat for the 2019/20 season.

    Do we think Son might be rotated?

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I think he will be....

    2. Lecky Legs FC

      No Poch and Co are under pressure now event more after the thrashing on Tuesday he'll start in my opinion

    3. La Roja
      • 12 Years

      He played around 65 min vs Saints.

      Doubt he’ll be rested

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        What about the game vs watford after the IB? do u think he will be rested for that game?

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years

          He could be for that game yes, he’ll jet lagged lol

            Thanks mate...then KDB to Son is a No for me 🙂

    4. Valar(Keith)

      Spurs need a reaction.. Just played 60 odd mins.. Should start.. Doubt any manager wants to rest their players so they can be fit for the internationals :).. I'd be worried about gw 9. Not this gw

    5. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Also spurs are playing the first game...so u cud get some news before the deadline

    6. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I don't think so and worrying about what happens after IB is kinda pointless. Nobody knows who could get injured, sick or whatever during those 2 weeks. Unless you see in the future, he's worth a punt for sure.

    7. Wakanda
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      with the poor result mid week... surely there will be major hauls to the team ? only kane looks undroppable for their attacking force

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

    Who to play:

    Zinchenko or Tomori?

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

      Zinchenko easily

      1. FPL Forward Thinker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        This

      2. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        why is that easy? City havent really been keeping clean sheets and Zinch doesnt have any attacking returns, plus he has competition from Mendy who might not make it 90 minutes so he might make a cameo appearance.

      Reply repost:
      I've seen ppl do it for less.. You are effectively starting donks and Rico this week if Awb is out. No TAA either. Auba looks great. Kdb can take a 2 game break. Donks and Wickham can be upgraded to a playable bench. I'd do it tbh.

          Downgrade Creswell to soy/tomori/anyone and upgrade donks to cantwell imo. Creswell is a bit of a luxury buy with fabs out.

          This looks quality and you also made enough changes to justify it. I know it's just one opinion out of hundreds but I'd push the button.

        thanks mate. Any changes you would make the upcoming gws?

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Nicholas Pepe is holding a lot of funds for someone not performing.

          I’d downgrade Digne & upgrade to Manè//Salah

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

    Is it worth a straight Salah to Sterling swap until GW13?

    Leaves me with no Liverpool a tracker. But only have KdB at the moment. Would captain Sterling this weekend

    1. Willmissudimitrypayet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      yes, surely

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Its risky but can work

  7. FPL Forward Thinker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Cheer up those disappointed by no KDB price drop.

    Buying back at 10m will still be a bargain in 2 weeks. He’s worth 12-12.5m.

    Likewise Martial when back fully fit (playing as centre forward) is worth 8.5-9m

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Martial will go back in 3-5 weeks after coming back 🙂

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Definitely missing one game.. Back in time for 3 games in 7 just after injury starting with Palace away. I'm gambling on him dropping 0.1. Would gladly lose 0.2 buying him back so I can get aubas points for the next 2 games.

  8. Rolls-Royce
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Gents, Play Heaton (nor) or McGovern (AVL) ?

    I feel Norwich are bound to score at home. Heaton to get more save points?

    1. Willmissudimitrypayet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      for me I think Villa will beat Norwich. Could be 1-3, could be 0-2. At least I would play Heaton

  9. JasonG123
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Chance of Mahrez getting rotated?

      screw it. Just play 5-2-3

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

    I see a second st of English mids arriving.
    Knowing a balance is critical which, for me, has not been achieved, which squad of 6 do you think should be considered.

    Defensive: Alli (but he must start behaving now) Henderson/Rice (Nobody else IMO) Winks.
    Creative: Maddison (No 8 or 10) (Mount No 8 or 10) Harry Wilson

    Wingers are left out due to style of full backs atm. Sanchez classed as a forward as Hudson Odoi, Sterling.

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I’d go:
      - Winks & Henderson double pivot.

      - Maddison 10

      - Sterling Sancho wide forwards.

      - Kane through the middle

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

        As good as it gets I suppose. My frustration is Alli probably misbehaving. Top player but young and injured = late nights out maybe.

              Correct 🙂

              I recalled the famous story that Harry Wilson’s grandfather placed a £50 bet when Harry was a little one that he would play international football and he won £125,000 when Harry Got his break for Wales, a couple of years back.

    If you owned this team- about what % chance would you WC in the next few weeks?

    Pope.
    VVD, Otamendi, Robbo.
    Cantwell, Mount, KDB, Sterling, Salah.
    Abraham, Pukki.
    Button, Lundstram, A Smith, Wickham.
    1ft- 0.1m ITB.

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Really just roll your FT and if needed make 3 transfers for a -4 hit and that should allow you to keep WC intact.

      However if you feel a wildcard is needed and you want new players then you’ll know yourself that it’s the right time.

      I Wildcarded GW6 getting rid out Bilva 19, Kane 8 and Wesley 7 so kinda wish I had waited but I’m over that now and I’m happy moving forward and got 12 new players in on that WC

  13. PepSala
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Just did KDB to Son. I have exact money to get him back for 10M..also have my wildcard if theres more injuries during the break. Now the question is...will he play 70+ mins tomorrow??

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Now the question is will Son score 16 points today (7hrs till kick off)

  14. The Artist
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Start Mount or Cantwell?

    Algorithm says Cantwell, but gut says Mount. Sitting in top 800K, so gut hasn't been too reliable, though...

    Thanks!

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Good problem to have for this GW with all the injuries... I wud start mount

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      My gut is saying cantwell.. Mount looked like he needs a break end of the game midweek. That being said cantwell could easily start on the bench too with his hamstring problem.

  15. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Repost, need some help please:

    Pope
    Robertson VVD Lundstram Digne
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount
    Pukki Abraham

    Button Rico Greenwood Dendoncker

    1 FT, 0.3 ITB

    Should I use the FT or even Wildcard??

    Thanks guys

      Bench ain't great. Could just replace kdb this week if you can stomach any loss in value.

      Take a punt on son perhaps.

    Start Lundstram or Cantwell?

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

      Cantwell

  17. Francescoli
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I’ve taken a hit so not keen to take another. Otherwise is this bench order right?

    Pope
    TAA Otamendi Lundstram
    Salah(vc) KDB Mount Cantwell
    Aguero (c) Abraham Vardy

    Button; Ceballos Rico Soyuncu

      Yes

  18. rodragon

    Captain pick: salah kun tammy

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

      Kun out of those 3

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Aguero

  19. Hotdogs

    Lloris Button
    Lundstram Söyüncü dunk Digne VVD
    Salah Son Mount Cantwell* KDB*
    Pukki Abraham Ayew

    A) KDB, Ayew > Auba, Yarmolenko (-4)
    B) KDB, Ayew, VVD > Auba, Mahrez, Cresswell (-8)

    1. Wakanda
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      surely need a city cover every match imo

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Agree. A is really tempting, but you'll want city attacker somewhere.

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

          Yeah... stuck on this one. Any suggestions?

          I may just take the risk with no city this week!

  20. FPL Forward Thinker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I’d take 7-2 win for Brighton in a few hours, providing Son scored the double for Spurs

  21. LǝgleSs e|even

    Best replacement for PVA, fixtures getting tough, or keep?

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Leicester defence or hold and bench and wait and see if KT (Kieran Tierney) start playing and more importantly Arsenal get some Clean sheets versus (on paper) more favourable opposition.

      Once KT breaks in, I see him getting PL attacking returns. So watchlist and wait and see.

  22. PepSala
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Play one: leaning towards Lundy

    A) Cantwell
    B) Lundstram

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A

  23. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Pre-flight checks. All in order?

    Heaton
    Robbo Otamendi Tomori
    Salah Sterling Mount James
    Auba (c) King Pukki

    Button Dunk Donks Rico

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

      Yep, all good

    2. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I’d have Rico 2nd sub or even 1st sub (takes a fine set piece and it could lead to assist)
      But Dunk is decent 1st sub

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Ta. Really hard to know how spurs will fare, but assuming arsenal defo score. Assist potential true though for rico.

    3. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      You have my respect for being so patient with King. And good to go!

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers. It normally serves me well, but I've been too patient this season with a lot of players and suffering rank-wise as a result.

        Hoping mo and sterling pay me back now like king has been.

  24. Rolls-Royce
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Captain Aguero or Sterling?

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling : extra point for any clean sheet and extra point per goal

      1. FPL Forward Thinker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        And I own Aguero and not Sterling

      2. Rolls-Royce
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Good point.

  25. PepSala
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Risk of Cantwell coming off the bench for a few mins? Or does he start if he's fit?

    1. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      If he’s fit he starts

    2. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I personally think you don’t take risks with hamstring injuries, especially for young lads.

      I’d say he’s either good to start or won’t be involved at all.

      1. FPL Forward Thinker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        That’s if it is a hammy related question mark?

  26. Test Eagles
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Any reason to go Aguero > Auba for a FT?

    Both have great upcoming fixtures but less rotation risk makes Auba a safer option for the next 4-6 weeks.

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I would rule out Aguero to Auba soon but not for me this weekend.

      1. FPL Forward Thinker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Let me re-type

        I would not rule out Aguero to Aubameyang soon but not this weekend

    2. Dirty Harry
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Legitimately thinking the same move and maybe even that plus Salah > Sterling or KDB > Mahrez for a hit

  27. Kane Train
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Do we hold or trade KDB. Could be eased back into it

  28. KDB4PREZ
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Hey guys would yous WC this lot? Cheers
    Pope/McGovern
    TAA/AWB/Tomori/Lundy/Rico
    Salah/KDB/Maddison/Mount/Hayden
    Pukki/Tammy/Kun

    I didn’t feel like I should but seeing some other teams and people saying yes to WC them I’m worried lol can get a smashing team also if go now.

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

      I certainly wouldn't do it this week, team looks fine. I'd WC during the IB if I were you.

  29. Jindaljain
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    De bruyne & Son to Sterling & yarmolenka? Should I do that??

    1. Dirty Harry
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Why getting rid of Son?

      1. Jindaljain
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Many are saying that he will be rested this week

        1. FPL Forward Thinker
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Any you trust that, with complete faith.

          If I told you Sterling and Yarmolenko will be rested, what would you say.

          I say go for the transfer if you think you’ll get more points and actually I think Sterling can score 15+ and Yarmolenko could match Son so could be worth it.

          Just go on your own instincts. Trust yourself.

    KDB to Auba (-4)?

    1. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      How do you do that?

      1. Kane Train
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        ^ hahaha

      2. FPL Forward Thinker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I predict a Greenwood to Auba and a KDB to Saka and money in the bank???

        1. JasonG123
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Yes basically this...

            Then why not. Go for it and GL
