Scout Squad

The Scout Squad picks for FPL Gameweek 14

The Scout Squad panel have submitted their player longlists for the coming weekend.

In this recurring feature, our four regulars – editorial staff Paul, David and Neale plus community manager Geoff – each proposes an 18-man squad of Fantasy assets for the coming Gameweek and explain their notable inclusions/omissions.

The 72 nominations listed below will then be narrowed down to a squad of 15 (with the starting XI not exceeding a total cost of £83m) for the weekly Scout Picks selection ahead of the Gameweek 14 deadline at 11:30 GMT 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 again be adding a captaincy to the Scout Picks, with details of that revealed on Friday.

With three sets of fixtures to contend with in a short space of time, the Scout Squad article will take a backseat next week and return ahead of Gameweek 17.

We’ll still be bringing you the Scout Picks feature ahead of every Gameweek deadline, however.

The selections below were mostly made ahead of Chelsea’s match with Valencia on Wednesday night and the fitness of Tammy Abraham (£8.0m) is still to be determined ahead of the Blues’ clash with West Ham United.

DAVID SAID…

Burnley are still yet to concede at Turf Moor this season when hosting sides from outside of last season’s top six.

That fills me with confidence that they can keep a shut-out against goal-shy Crystal Palace in Gameweek 14, so I’ve doubled-up on the Clarets’ defence with Nick Pope and Charlie Taylor.

Trent Alexander-Arnold simply cannot go another week with a blank considering his underlying statistics, so a home meeting with Brighton is the perfect opportunity for him to come good finally.

Serge Aurier has looked like a great attacking threat under Jose Mourinho so I’ve got my eye on the £4.8m defender.

Christian Pulisic, if he can navigate the rotation threat at Chelsea, could be the top points-scorer when West Ham come to Stamford Bridge.

The American has scored in all but one of his last four starts and blanking at the Etihad Stadium is hardly something to put me off.

Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané could both run wild against a Brighton defence that has struggled away from home this season while Harvey Barnes is my cheap punt in midfield.

Marcus Rashford looks the best striker to own for Gameweek 14 based on his excellent form.

In the last four Gameweeks, no player, not even Jamie Vardy, has registered a better minutes-per-expected goal involvement (xGI) score.

Aston Villa’s defence has been incredibly obliging this season, which should set the scene for more Manchester United goals.

Meanwhile, the aerial presence of Chris Wood could exploit Crystal Palace’s recent problems defending headers while Gerard Deulofeu could quietly do well at Southampton – he is a player that almost exclusively only delivers when away from home at relegation-threatened sides.

NEALE SAID…

This is perhaps the most keenly anticipated Gameweek of the season so far, given the appealing nature of the fixtures that so many of the well-owned Fantasy assets enjoy.

In a Gameweek where I can overlook Harry Kane, Raul Jimenez and Anthony Martial despite all three enjoying eminently winnable home games, there really is a wealth of choice for the Scout Picks on Friday – and a dilemma for the captaincy.

Many of this week’s selections need little explanation, as a result.

Newcastle’s vulnerability to set plays makes me plump for Kevin De Bruyne over Raheem Sterling, while Gabriel Jesus’ aerial prowess – the Brazilian has had the most headed chances among FPL forwards – could be key on Tyneside.

West Ham are in dire straits as they head to Stamford Bridge and things could get even worse on Saturday, with Issa Diop suspended and Roberto set to continue between the posts.

The Hammers, like Newcastle, have also shipped a boatload of chances from corners and free-kicks over the last six Gameweeks. Kurt Zouma has been on the end of seven dead-ball deliveries for Chelsea this season (the most in the Blues squad) so the Frenchman gets my vote in defence.

Christian Pulisic is the Blues’ man in form in midfield, while I await further news on Tammy Abraham‘s fitness after his withdrawal in the draw with Valencia on Wednesday – I’ve left him in my picks on the off-chance he recovers from a knock to his hip, as a home fixture against the desperate Hammers is too good to overlook.

I remain slightly cautious on Spurs assets for now, despite the Lilywhites plundering seven goals in two matches under Jose Mourinho.

The north London club were abject in the first 45 minutes against Olympiakos on Tuesday and some consideration has to be given to the fact that they played perhaps the worst team in the Premier League on current form in Mourinho’s first match in charge.

Still, I’ve seen enough to be sufficiently impressed by Serge Aurier, who has been operating almost as a right-winger under Mourinho as Ben Davies/Danny Rose stay at home on the opposite flank.

With one eye on our budget, I’ve opted for the cheapest of Spurs’ front four in Lucas Moura, who was presented with three big chances at the London Stadium last weekend – although the spectre of rotation perhaps looms large given the Lilywhites’ bloated squad.

While Jimenez doesn’t get the nod in my Gameweek 14 squad, teammate Matt Doherty does.

There were some attractive stats on the Irish wing-back in our Big Numbers piece and he looks a real threat when playing in tandem with Adama Traore, resembling the player we all lauded in 2018/19.

Even if attacking returns aren’t forthcoming, Wolves’ impressive underlying defensive numbers from Gameweek 6 onwards, plus Sheffield United’s modest goal threat, could see Doherty bank a clean sheet at the bare minimum.

While Wolves have improved defensively of late, Manchester United have flattered to deceive and are eight matches without a clean sheet in the top flight.

The loss of Scott McTominay is a big blow and they were cut apart by Sheffield United in the first half last Sunday, with David de Gea a busy man before the break.

I expect the likes of Marcus Rashford and co to fill their boots against Dean Smith’s side but there could be joy at the other end, too, with Jack Grealish‘s talismanic status and more advanced role in the Villa attack translating into regular FPL returns in the last two months.

PAUL SAID…

We’re spoilt for choice when assessing our Gameweek 14 options, with Liverpool, Leicester, Spurs, Chelsea and Manchester United all set for favourable home fixtures.

The first three merit attention at both ends of the pitch, with Serge Aurier offering a differential route into Jose Mourinho’s backline.

Sitting in just 3.1% of squads, the Ivorian has a goal and assist in Spurs’ two matches under their new head coach.

His defensive contribution further raises his appeal in FPL when it comes to bonus points.

Aurier made 14 recoveries against West Ham last weekend, double the number of all but Son Heung-min’s 10 for Spurs.

That helped the right-back earn two bonus and took his total to nine for the season – just one fewer than John Lundstram’s ten among FPL defenders, despite starting just eight matches.

I’m also backing the delivery of Dwight McNeil to play a big part for Burnley against Crystal Palace.

The Clarets’ wide man has supplied 23 successful crosses, more than any team-mate.

That’s helped Burnley register 33 headed attempts, the fourth-top record in the first 13 Gameweeks.

Palace, meanwhile, have been particularly weak in the air, conceding 38 such efforts – a total better than just two other sides.

Owned by just 1.2%, McNeil has bagged a goal, assist and 14 points in his last two at Turf Moor.

Danny Ings is another modestly owned player, sitting in 4% of squads for Southampton’s home clash with Watford.

Despite that lack of interest, Ings has been one of FPL’s most consistent players in recent matches, scoring in five of the last seven Gameweeks.

Indeed, only Jamie Vardy, with nine goals, has been more prolific.

The Hornets arrive at St Mary’s on the back of three defeats in their last four in all competitions.

Having been involved in 70% of his side’s goals when on the pitch this term, Ings looks well-set for more points on Saturday.

GEOFF SAID…

With clean sheets in every home game against a non-traditional top-six opponent this season, I back Nick Pope as my first-choice goalkeeper.

Elsewhere, I’m betting on Jose Mourinho to sort out the Spurs defence sooner rather than later – this could be the week for Paulo Gazzaniga to get his first clean sheet of the season.

In defence, Trent-Alexander Arnold and Andrew Robertson lead the way, ahead of Serge Aurier, who is thriving so far under Mourinho. With strong fixtures all around, I’ve taken Spurs players at the back rather than in my attacking slots.

Mohamed Salah came close to making this week’s list with eight goals in as many home games in all competitions this season but I instead opt for the consistent form of Sadio Mane, with Salah’s lingering ankle injury playing into my thinking here.

Raheem Sterling has great numbers when Gabriel Jesus is in the team, and Anthony Martial has every chance to continue the home form that’s brought him four attacking returns in three starts at Old Trafford.

With seemingly so many good options to choose from this week, I’ve opted for strong form and consistency with Tammy Abraham (if fit), Marcus Rashford and Jamie Vardy up front. Whether you like form or fixtures, these three look appealing this Gameweek.

In a week without any heavyweight clashes, the captaincy debate looks wide open. While my other attacking picks (Harvey Barnes, Danny Ings and Ashley Barnes) likely won’t be highly captained, I see seven options for the armband in my attacking picks this week. And that’s before any rogue captaincy shouts for my Liverpool defensive double-up.

THE COMMUNITY CHAMPION

In Gameweek 13, the Scout Picks lost 44-56 to Dr. Mantis Toboggan.

    1. The Man Pastore

      Why selling him before playing West Ham at home? That could backfire

      1. lilmessipran

        Injured.. probably out for this game maybe even longer

        Yeah considering upgrading pieters, lets see if there is news on tammy today/tomorrow.

        I kind of think I want to move him out anyway..

  3. Lukey27

    Chance of missing after a knee to the hip. Is this some sort of joke?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

    2. Klein

      Lol. You have no idea what being hit by a knee feels like.

  4. Sharkytect
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Am i right in thinking there are stats out there that suggest sterling gets more points without aguero around?

    1. cheeky moses
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Not sure this is the case. Although I have seen stats that suggest Mendy playing is good for Sterlings output.

    2. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Can't remember the exact numbers but they mentioned on the scoutcast that Sterlings points per game with Jesus playing was a lot higher than with Aguero so far this season. Could be a coincedence though as it's not a trend that has been noticed in the past

      1. St Pauli Walnuts
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        That’s a pretty poor sample size and if you were to include the Champs league the other night, the findings would be diluted further.

        1. Carlton_Goal
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          I agree completely that it's too small a sample size, that's why I think it probably is coincedence. Just passing on what I had heard being said

          1. St Pauli Walnuts
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Yes I know mate. There's nothing to say that either of them couldn't go on a decent run but as City season ticket holder who watches them regularly, neither look in great form and there is nothing to suggest they have any particularly special chemistry.

  5. Stormbringer22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Is it worth doing Mount + Tammy out for Pulisic and Rashford for -4? Or just do Tammy to Rashford and keep the faith that Pulisic will not outscore Mount big time?

  6. SHOWSTOPPERRR

      He himself says hopefully it’s just a bit of bruising. He’ll have a scan today.

      https://twitter.com/chelseafc/status/1199809909107376128?s=21

      They have 3 games in 7 days so he’ll almost certainly miss West Ham. We’ll find out today or tomorrow whether he’ll miss more than that.

    3. Pieterke30

      There wont be any before Friday presser. Live with it.

    If Tammy is out for a few weeks, and noting Rico is my only fit bench player, worth taking a hit to do Tammy to Lacazette, Rashford or Ings? And if so, who?

      Rashford

      1. Francescoli

        Even though Arsenal and Southampton have better fixtures?

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

          Not sure Ings will get through 3 games in a week and Arsenal are just Arsenal.

          1. Francescoli
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Mousset also a good option over the next six. Tough decision s to be made post pressers...

        1. Francescoli
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Maybe. Sterling could also play up top.

    Should I see that as a sign? Will loose 0.3m on Tammy

    1. Francescoli

      decent moves. only thing that would tempt me out of it is a look at Sterling's stats when he plays with Jesus.

      I'd say so. But better options for a week punt . Rashford

        Sadly, no. Have my eyes on Robertson but my attack has taken up most of the budget.

      Cannot recommend any good movies to you, though. Haven't been to the cinema in years.

      12 Angry Men

      One of the best films ever made and not watched by many under 40s who aren't into films

        Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

        What about The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover? This is one of the best ever made.(not that i disagree about 12 AM).

      FT's?
      I would prefer Ings or Mousset if fit.
      Spare cash to upgrade in other areas.
      I want to upgrade McGinn or Mount.

    Sorry it got lost on an old page.
    It is hard to miss the disdain West Ham supporters have regarding their goalkeeper Roberto and the laughing stock he has become. It is clear, so far, he is not up to the task and it is amplified by Lucas Fabianski who is arguably the best in the division.

    However, a big however, what do their supporters expect when the cynical laughs come out after he makes a simple collection or receives a back pass. Loud enough for us all to hear. I know it happens in the sport, like Xhaka etc but if they truly support their sides, encouragement would go a long way in improving overall performances.

    Sure, the fans pay their way and expect better. By all means complain if the effort is not there. Ozil is a prime example. Being an Everton supporter, I have plenty of gripes and can understand boos emanate around Goodison Park relating to performance created by management and players alike.

    What I can never understand is supporters encouraging crap by their own behavior. Come on guys, help your team. Also a big criticism to Sky, who cannot wait to jump in and deliberately create the monster.

    1. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Abraham out

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

        A bit lost on the reply

    2. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I feel like that would only come from a handful of supporters though! And it wasn't like that when he was first bought in after Fabianski got injured. You have to admit that his performances have been awful though, the guy doesn't look cut out to be a professional footballer let alone a premier league quality one. It just comes from frustration that nearly any other goalkeeper in the league would probably do a better job

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

        Of course he has been awful. I just don't understand why people want to make the situation worse than it already is.
        The sarcastic clapping got to me even and I was embarrassed watching on my own in my own armchair.

        1. Carlton_Goal
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Again though I think that sarcastic applause would only be coming from a small section of supporters, and the frustration with the entire teams performances recently would be making this worse. The fact that we signed a 3rd choice goalkeeper in the summer as well and he isn't being given a chance after Roberto's performances is also a bit ridiculous

  20. RamaJama

    Worth to do Abraham (if confirmed out) to Raahfort for -4?

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

      *Rashford

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

      Martial was absent last game so if you want a United player, why not?

    3. Fitzy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      If he's out, surely it's only for the one game? Why get rid?

      Poor fixtures after this weekend

    5. BERGKOP

      What's your bench?

    6. mik-hail-tal
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Raahfort sounds like you just burned your tongue.

    7. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Probably not, depends on your bench

  21. Lebowski85
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    I really don't want to sub out Tammy. Will lose 0.4 and have to take a hit.

    Rashford is appealing to me

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

      I doubt if we have a choice. It looked bad. Hope good news incoming.

      Don't feel like you have to do it!

  22. Nespinha

    on a wilcard, are these transfers worth it?

    janmaat -- taylor
    salah -- mane
    maddison -- pulisic
    mount -- alli
    aguero -- vardy
    abraham -- rashford

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      All look good

      1. Nespinha
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        thanks miguel

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

      2 concerns. Pulisic a bigger rotation risk than we might bargain for and Alli wait a few weeks. (Assist to the assister?)

      1. Nespinha
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        makes sense, will think about that thanks!

  23. BucketHead
    • 10 Years

    What's the thinking behind laccazette and Abraham out for Kane and ings??

    This move I might make tonight!!

  24. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Van only imagine the amount of hits being taken to move on Tammy...

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      *Can*

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      To find that he starts at the weekend.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        That would be great!

    3. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe Virgil is mulling it over

  25. HAMMERTIME107
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    How does this look please? £0.9 in the bank but already on a -4. Should I play snodders or guendouzi this week?

    Henderson
    Tomori | Soyuncu | Chambers
    Mane | Pulisic | xxxx | Son
    Aubameyang | Vardy | Jesus

    Button | Guendouzi/Snodgrass | Rico | Kelly

    1. MiechuPL
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Guendouzi or Kelly (he can play instead Ward). West Ham is week without Fabianski.

  26. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Do we keep Abraham if he's out for WestHam and Villa?

    1. MiechuPL
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, i can sell him 7,6 and he is 8mln...

    2. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      If it’s for 2 games I reckon so (for free) but then we probably won’t know it’s for 2 until it is

  27. MiechuPL
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    What do You think:
    De Bruyne + Pulisic (two transfers)
    or
    Sterling + Kante? (one transfer)

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

      First

    2. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A for sure

  28. MiechuPL
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    ok, thanks!

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years

      Welcome!

  29. danlynch13

    Hope Tammy is out for a few games will make things interesting

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

      Yep, especially since I dont have him

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

    Got 2 transfers so thinking of transferring Cantwell to Peréz and out first on bench if Tammy out short term.Leicester some good fixtures to double up with Vardy ( have up to 7.2 so Tielemans Zaha and JWP other options). What are thoughts?

    Pope
    TAA Söyüncü Lundstram
    Mané KDB Martial Mount Pérez
    Vardy Jiménez
