The Scout Squad picks for FPL Gameweek 23

The Scout Squad panelists present their Fantasy Premier League squads for Gameweek 23.

In this recurring article, 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 weekend and explain their notable inclusions/omissions below.

The 72 nominations listed will then be narrowed down to a squad of 15 (with the starting XI not exceeding a total cost of £85m) for the weekly Scout Picks selection ahead of the 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 £6.5m or below and at least one forward priced at £7.5m 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.

DAVID SAID…

Recent improvements at the back for Arsenal and Southampton has led me to believe both clubs have decent clean sheet potential in Gameweek 23.

Bernd Leno and David Luiz face a Sheffield United attack inside the Premier League’s bottom three for shots on target over the last four, while the Saints back-line has been bettered only by Liverpool during that time.

That’s why budget options Alex McCarthy and Jack Stephens make it into my Scout Squad selection, each one capable of saving Fantasy managers money either in goal or defence ahead of an anticipated Double Gameweek 24 splash-out.

Chelsea travel to a Newcastle side that continually struggles in front of goal, only Norwich and Bournemouth registering fewer big chances than the Magpies since Gameweek 19.

With Steve Bruce’s men also in the Premier League’s bottom two for big chances conceded during that period, I think the attacking potential of Reece James and Tammy Abraham is very attractive indeed.

I can’t see too many goals at Anfield on Sunday afternoon considering Liverpool and Manchester United’s recent defensive showings.

For that reason, I’ve included Trent Alexander-Arnold in my selection although Sadio Mané is the man I believe to be the most likely to puncture Manchester United’s defence.

Considering West Ham’s ongoing defensive problems, and an injury to Lukasz Fabianski, I’m backing an Everton triple-up for Gameweek 23, centred around Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

The two players are forming a very productive strike partnership under Carlo Ancelotti, each registering three attacking returns in the four matches since the Italian took over at Everton.

I think this could be the week that Jamie Vardy returns to the form we were enjoying several weeks ago.

He might have gone shotless against Southampton, but he will be facing a much more obliging defence in Gameweek 23 at Burnley.

Over the last four Gameweeks, the Clarets have conceded ten big chances, the fifth-worst in the Premier League.

NEALE SAID…

Pep Guardiola is one of the few head coaches who would have the temerity to bench a player who scored a hat-trick in his previous match but that is a possibility at the Etihad this weekend, such is the Manchester City manager’s unpredictable nature.

That caveat notwithstanding, Sergio Aguero (along with Kevin De Bruyne) gets the nod again in my Scout Squad picks after last week’s nomination – although I’m not expecting him to come close to matching Gameweek 22’s haul, with Crystal Palace an altogether tougher nut to crack.

Rotation is also a possibility with Benjamin Mendy, too, but should he start at left-back – as he has done in five of City’s last six league matches – then there is the potential for returns at both ends of the pitch.

Mendy is top among defenders for chances created over the last six Gameweeks, while the Eagles have scored the joint-fewest number of goals in the Premier League this season.

Bournemouth are one of the teams level with Palace for that statistic and have found the back of the net on just seven occasions in the last 15 Gameweeks, so there is a rare place for Tim Krul as one of my three goalkeepers.

Teammate Emiliano Buendia is also selected for Norwich City’s plum home fixture against the out-of-sorts Cherries, having created a remarkable 33 chances over the last seven Gameweeks: that’s a dozen more than Kevin De Bruyne has managed in that time.

Aston Villa and Newcastle United’s continuing vulnerability to crosses and dead-ball deliveries plays into my thinking regarding Brighton and Hove Albion and Chelsea assets.

Lewis Dunk is a constant threat in the air for the Seagulls and has had more headed attempts from set plays than any of his teammates in 2019/20.

Tammy Abraham is joint-top among forwards for headed chances over the last six Gameweeks, meanwhile, and I noticed Callum Hudson-Odoi was on corner-taking duty in Gameweek 22 – the young winger could also find joy down Newcastle’s right from open play, with the Magpies having conceded the highest number of crosses from that wing in 2019/20.

A word on Leicester City, too, whose players are being sold in their droves ahead of Gameweek 23.

Burnley, the Foxes’ opponents this weekend, have shipped eight goals and scored just one in a point-less run over the last four Gameweeks.

Looking at 2019/20 overall, the Clarets have conceded at least two goals in all seven of their meetings with the current top six – so Jamie Vardy remains entrenched in my Scout Squad picks and indeed my own FPL team.

PAUL SAID…

I’m advocating a triple-up on Man City at home to Palace in Gameweek 23, with Pep Guardiola’s men offering strong options in defence and attack.

Benjamin Mendy is one of my differentials this week.

Owned by a mere 1% of squads, the Frenchman has supplied 11 key passes in the last six Gameweeks – more than any defender and second only to Kevin De Bruyne’s 16 for City.

A trip to Newcastle hands Reece James the chance to build on last weekend’s 11-point haul against Burnley.

The Chelsea right-back has started each of the last two league matches and his numbers underline his all-round attacking potential.

James’ five shots on goal in that period were more than any other defender, while his total of four chances created sits just one off the summit at the back.

Yet he can be found in just 0.4% of squads ahead of his clash with the Magpies.

Backing the Brighton attack at home to Aston Villa seems a sensible move and Alireza Jahanbakhsh offers the perfect differential.

Sitting in just 0.1% of squads, the Iranian has scored against Bournemouth and Chelsea in each of the Seagulls’ last two at the Amex Stadium.

Jahanbakhsh has produced eight shots and five shots in the box in the last three Gameweeks – both are more than any team-mate.

The aerial impact of Sebastien Haller (2.4% owned) could prove decisive for West Ham against Everton.

The Frenchman has won 28 headed duels in the last two Gameweeks since David Moyes took charge, more than any other player in FPL.

Everton, meanwhile, have conceded 13 headers in Carlo Ancelotti’s four matches in charge, the joint-worst record in the league.

Expect plenty of crosses from Moyes’ men, then, with Haller making a late charge for our consideration ahead of the Hammers’ Double Gameweek 24.

GEOFF SAID…

If Brighton can keep Jack Grealish quiet they will have a good shot at a clean sheet, so I look to Mat Ryan as my first goalkeeper selection.

Kasper Schmeichel will hope to shut out Burnley, though the Leicester defence has looked suspect in recent weeks, and Kepa Arrizabalaga travels to Newcastle to play a somewhat in-form Miguel Almiron.

I see very few clean sheets this weekend and can make an argument for any team conceding. Manchester City look one of the stronger bets, but I’ll look to attacking potential in my defensive picks this week. Trent Alexander-Arnold is, therefore, my first pick, with Matt Doherty, Ricardo Pereira and Serge Aurier taking spots two through four, and Reece James occupying fifth position.

After scoring six in Gameweek 22, I lean on Manchester City’s attacking assets, starting with Kevin De Bruyne. While this is partly due to what I see as some security of starts, he also has the ability to pour it on and is central to what City do going forward.

Elsewhere, Jose Mourinho and Spurs need to find some form and, without Harry Kane, Son Heung-min looks poised to be a central figure for them.

Todd Cantwell tops the ‘value’ chart for all players in Gameweek 22 in our Rate My Team tool and is high in my thinking this week, while Richarlison and Jack Grealish also have promising away fixtures.

Up front, I’m counting on another start and strong performance from Sergio Aguero, while Tammy Abraham is beginning to find form, with a strong fixture before they become more difficult from Gameweek 24.

Jamie Vardy will force his way into my picks again and until he stops returning he’ll likely retain his spot every week.

Teemu Pukki should be fit enough to start against Bournemouth, and I look to a very out-of-form striker for my possibly surprising fifth pick: Callum Wilson.

THE COMMUNITY CHAMPION

Each week, one of the Fantasy Football Scout community takes on the Scout Picks by pitting their chosen XI against ours.

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 Moderators and Contributors League for the following season.

Last week, Pep Pig lost 64-72 to the Scout Picks.

Irfansheikh and AK’s 17-point winning margins from Gameweek 6 and 10 remain the current targets to beat.

Our Scout Picks article on Friday will have further details on who is representing the community this week.

    Haven't been able to look at my team in weeks! Any help would be much appreciated, it's probably in very bad shape now.

    Guaita Button

    Soy Sidibe Lundstram Rico Hanley

    KdB Mane Alli Grealish Dendoncker

    Kane Tammy Vardy

    Thankyou!

    1. Limbo
      • 13 Years

      Alli + Kane out. Obvious would be Salah + Ings in then try and get TAA for DGW.

    2. The Left Duke #3
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Kane out for a while so has to go. Maybe a switch to Aguero (c) this week and then use 2 FT next week to bring in Salah for Liverpool DGW

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      One Liverpool is a bit of an issue.

      Kane obviously goes. I’d do Ings and TAA this week which should allow a second defender next time

      Alli could turn out to be a tidy differential

  2. The Left Duke #3

    Quick poll lads....Bench 1 from each

    A) Trent
    B) Robbo

    6. jason_ni
      • 8 Years

      For future polls, you can just remove TAA as an option to bench, play him every week, no matter who liverpool play!
      I would also add Robbo to that as well.
      D 2

      1. The Left Duke #3

        Agreed. However, in this particular case I wanted to show the community I have double Lpool DF incase that would change their minds.

      Wait on Rashford injury news.
      I think he'll be fine

    3. Holmes

      I think you can survive one more week with that team and collect more information.

      looks like it

    5. Ze_Austin

      Ramsdale to McCarthy. Reassess next GW

      Traore is fine: https://twitter.com/BenDinnery/status/1217569089444597761?s=20

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

      Losing Ramsdale to Mc you can still put out a tidy side.

      I’d be tempted to do it next time - Leicester are an unknown rather than poor

      Abraham could be very nice this time out

  4. Pickle juice

    No aguero captains out there ????

    Over vardy and kdb ???

      Not many owners I'd bet.

      Most don’t have him, that’s why. If you have him, then captain him.

      Great pick for ones chasing... for the ones planing for Lpool 3 up his form really came with bad timming..

    Pope (Button)
    TAA, Soyuncu, Lundstram (Rico, Kelly)
    Salah, KDB (c), Alli, Traore, (Dendonker)
    Vardy, Rashford, Ings

    2 FTs, 1.3m ITB

    Alli and Rashford have to now go, for Mane and a 6.7m or less forward. Is Calvert-Lewin my best option ?

    1. OLLY G
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'm thinking about Deeney personally. On pennos and Watford really on the rise.

      1. Reg Grapes
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Second this as an option, because it's what I have done, though with Fleck as my backup midfielder..

    2. Reg Grapes
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      If it's for short-term then DCL fine. If Dendonker a season-keeper then possibly Maupay of Brighton dovetails reasonably well, though his output has dropped off lately.

  6. Bagayokeso

    Ryan
    Lundstram/Soy/TAA
    KDB/Maddison/Grealish/Mane
    Vardy/Abraham/Rashford
    Bench: Button/Rico/Kelly/Saka

    This week Rashford > Ings (FT)

    Next week Rico > Robertson (FT)

    good moves?

    1. bitm2007

      As long as you have happy to go without Salah for DGW24.

      1. Bagayokeso
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah i'm good. One of the liverpool full backs could quite easily end up with more points that salah or mane from the DGW in my opinion.

  7. Dannywaz

    Mahrez best player in the world no debate needed

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

      He's not necessarily in the best city midfield yet.
      Plus Kdb alone is way ahead of him.

    4. goriuanx

      Not even the best right sided player at City.

  9. Rbyrne95
    • 7 Years

    Thoughts on Richarlison (C)? quite fancy it as a differential. It's between him, Salah and De Bruyne for me

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Let's see what happens

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

      Too much of a differential. If Liverpool and City had blanks then maybe. He’s way too inconsistent to be considered imo

    3. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Nah. We're not exactly prolific on the road. Also Moyes hosting old club. I predict goals but think the ceiling is far hight with KDB/Mane/Salah

      1. Limbo

      Mate in my ml did this last week, and it worked out well for him!
      He also has Digne and Holgate, all 3 got him 39 of his 75 points.

      No prizes for guessing who he supports!

    5. Rbyrne95
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'm chasing so i'm stuck on my decision at the moment, I mean, if Richarlison was on penalities I'd definitely go for it. Salah or De Bruyne seems to be the pick now though then

      Concerning underlying stats and recent form. Lets see, for me this match vs Burnley is decisive

    5. Pieterke30

      Considering ditching Maddison now, for Cantwell, in order to afford Salah.

      1. OLLY G

        Thanks a good move imo.

    6. Link
      • 13 Years

      Rashford injury might mean he gets another week. Need to free up funds fro another Pool, so was going to downgrade Maddo to Trossard/CHO but now may just keep him and turn Rash into Ings/Maupay instead

    7. Lukakus Unit
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Upgrading him to Mane next week, but I'm keeping him for Burnley.

      1. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        You think he outscores Mané this GW?

        1. Lukakus Unit
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          It's possible. Burnley have been shambles defensively lately and Mane rarely scores against United.

  14. OLLY G

    (A) Maupay

    (B) Deeney

    Thanks.

    1. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Neither. Maupay's as streaky as bacon. Deeney's fustrating too + card magnet. Deulafueo? Ings? DCL?

    2. DavidFPL
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Deeney really interests me as well, since Pearson took over he has the 6th most amount of points for strikers (Ings, Jesus, Rashford, Firminho and Aguero 20 points last week snook him in ahead of him)

  15. Pinturicchio10
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Salah, Mane, De Bruyne, D Silva.

      Can't argue with that lot. Very tempting.

      Ryan / Henderson

      TAA - Lund - Holgate - (Stephens - Lascelles)

      Salah - Mane - KDB - Moura - (Donk)

      Vardy - Ings - Maupay

        Id have DCL and Rich instead of Maupay and Moura, if you can afford

        Don’t like the Moura pick. Moura to Grealish and then Maupay to DCL

        Just Fancy Moura to get decent returns with Kane out and some decent fixtures.

        Feel a bit meh about DCL tbh.

      Frustratingly I am 0.1 off from doing:
      Rashford, Martial, Ramsdale out for
      Mane, Deeney, Button.

      Think I may hold Rashford for now, and see how it goes, plan was to bring in VVD for the double, alongside Salah and TAA

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        DCL for deeney?

        1. jason_ni
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Im still not massively sold on DCL, but I've not really had a chance to watch any Everton games since Carlo came in, so maybe I'm missing the buzz. I had similar thoughts on Tielemans when there was the massive hype after Southamption 1.0.

      2. OLLY G
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I own both Rashford and Martial, and it feels a bit short sighted to ditch them both imo.

        1. jason_ni
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I kinda agree, this is just based on the potential of Rashford missing the pool game that is leading me toward thinking about Mane over VVD.
          Before the injury last night, I would have been holding Rashford, I still might just stick with the plan and go for VVD, I can see a double pool CS in the double week.

          1. OLLY G
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            I own Mane and have come to the conclusion that, although it might not be the best use of funds, i'm too afraid to go into the DGW without double Pool midfield.

            I assume you already own Salah, and l would 100% get Mane too if this is the case. If Rashford is ruled out, i'm going to downgrade him and keep Martial, so l can make Maddison into Salah.

    • cigan
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Spent my 2 FT for Alli/Rashford > Mane/Deeney because of Rashford uncertainty (+ I bought for 9.1 so basically no value lost)

      Team looking like

      Guaita
      TAA Soyuncu Holgate
      Salah Mane KDB Maddison
      Vardy Ings Deeney

      Lundstram Cathcart Dendoncker

      GTG? Not sure about the def. order...

      Best combo till gw26? Already have TAA + Salah

      A: Robbo + Martial + Tammy + 1m (to possibly upgrade grealish)
      B: 5m def (Aurier/Kola/Soy) + Mane + DCL
      C: 5m def (Aurier/Kola/Soy) + Martial + Firmino

        Arrived home from work and assessed my most recent (and hopefully final) WC draft, with a somewhat clear head, and I really like it! Normally not a fan of benching headaches (which I will have for the next few GWs) but how bad if there's a no show.
        Benching Martial this GW and captaining an asset that likely nobody on here is considering but I'm up for the gamble (plus there's a specific reason behind it lol)!
        Locked & Loaded and GL for the GW all 🙂

        Henderson
        Trent Digne Dunk
        Mane Mahrez Son Richarlison

          Cool team, and I think its really important to go off your own decisions!

          (personally I think no Aguero or KDB could hurt)

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

            Cheers, appreciate that mate and yes of course players like Kun, KDB, Salah & Vardy could really hurt...but cant have them all and going with differentials to try and soar from my lowly rank and jump on some assets I foresee could be very popular soon early!
