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.

    Best move to free up funds?

    A. Rashford > Ings/Maupay
    B. Maddison > Trossard/CHO
    C. Neither. Save and decide next week

    Either A or B means I lose a fixture against Burnley. I'd rather keep Rashford out of the 2 but the injury doubts are not ideal

    1. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A - Ings

  4. Netters2018
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Only 4/5 days to decide whether we are we activating TC on Liverpool next week or waiting for other options later?

    What are peoples thoughts, i am 50/50 whether to go with Salah....

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Definitely using it.
      Currently leaning towards Salah because he's a differential but I could change to Mane depending on what happens this week.

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

      No TC, only captain

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'm doing it (TC Salah) - season could be largely over by the time the next set of DGWs come round

    4. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Salah isn't great away. Mane or TAA for me if i were to TC

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Salah not being great away is only based on the first few games of this season.

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Wasn't he much better than Mane away in the previous two seasons?

          1. Karan14
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            He was much much better.

        2. mikess
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Other than Bournemouth haul of 13. His next highest score is 6 which he's achieved twice

          1. Karan14
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Tbf he's looked way better after coming back from his injury and has blanked only once in 3 away games after it.

            1. mikess
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              He's pure class so could haul anywhere. Definitely more confident at home though

    5. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      It's a no for me. The fixtures aren't convincing enough and both away.

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

      Doubt either of the games will be high scoring.

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Salah for pens

        Mane for away form

        It’s 50/50

    7. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'm using it on Salah. Struggling at 365k OR and feel this is my best opportunity to shoot up the ranks. There may be a better time to use it later on but then again there may not.

    8. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      TC Mane for me. I've got both Mane and Salah but Salah's away form puts me off him

    9. Netters2018
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      if i do use it will def be Salah he is just too dangerous, just that doubt in my mind that city and leicester will have more appealing dgw's later on in the season. I am 50 clear in my mini league so wondering if i should hold it?

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        even if city have dgw the main assets would be prone to rotation especially if it’s around champions league matches

        1. Netters2018
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          what about Leicester? Vardy would play both... but then that could fall when bench boost is needed... i just dont know!

          1. FPL_Crisis
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Yeh I’ll have to weigh it up too
            What triple captain score would you be happy with to warrant using it?
            Guessing minimum ~12 points x3?

            If I bring in Firmino I’m really tempted to TC. It’s more the fomo if one of the mids haul

            1. Netters2018
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              15 pts from the 2 games would be enough to make me feel like it was worth it, maybe a goal, an assist and 2 clean sheets....

              i have mane also and it would hurt if he was to haul over salah, that is the other thing that is putting me off.. if i do vardy i have no other conflicts of interest.

              such a difficult decision and not long too decide have to activate it on tuesday!

  5. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Think having 2 FTs for GW25 is a good idea.

    GW28 blanks will be confirmed by then and we'll have more info on possible GW31 blanks.

    The real planning starts after DGW24

    1. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Cant seenmany rolling a transfer going into 24

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yup that looks likely.
        But I think I'm going to roll FT as I have triple Pool already and rest of the team looks good for GW24.

        Vardy, Grealish, Soyuncu all on the chopping block for GW25 as one of those teams will definitely blank in GW28 and don't have great fixtures leading upto it either.

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

      Do you think planning will help us millionaires to achieve a respectable rank? 😆

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I really hope so.
        The blanks and doubles are a bit tricky this season. Specially GW34 when some teams will have a double and some will blank.

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

          Oh, didn't know that

          34 might be a good week to FH if possible

          1. Karan14
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Yup it could be but also worth considering wildcarding before DGW34 and not DGW37.

    3. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      So GW28 blanks will be confirmed between GWs 24 and 25?

      I don't see the outcome of those games affecting things too much, at least not for my team. Don't have any Norwich or Villa players and only KDB from City.

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yes they will be confirmed in the midweek before GW25.

        What about Leicester players?
        They don't have great fixtures from GW25 onwards and could blank in GW28 if they manage to beat Villa.

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Ditched Maddison this week and plan to move Soyuncu on. Don't see myself selling Vardy as I have so much value tied up in him and will definitely want him back for Leicester's DGW if they beat Villa.

          1. Karan14
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Then you're nicely setup I think.
            I have Vardy, Grealish & Soyuncu plus chasing rank so I'm hoping to make some ground over others if an opportunity arrives to sell Vardy.

  6. mikess
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Pope, Button
    TAA, Sidibe, Lundstrum, Kelly, Rico
    Mane, KDB, Martial, Maddison, Grealish
    Vardy, Ings, Maupay

    Which do you fancy?

    A) Martial & Maddison > Salah & Cantwell - 4
    B) Rico > Gomez
    C) Martial > Mahrez (would probably mean Rico > Gomez in 24)
    D) Pope > Mccarthy, (Sidibe > Robertson in 24)

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      second team is much more balanced but would need to lose rashford if he's out

  13. gooner_112233445566
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    maddison or moura....

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Maddison if any but neither imo.

      If you can stretch Richarlison?

      1. gooner_112233445566
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        cant afford richarlison, 0.1 off plus i already have dcl so wouldnt want to double up

  14. Macam Dave

    Play Cantwell or Grealish. Rest of my attack unstoppable this week. Help!

    1. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Grealish

    2. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Cantwell - but really tight call

    3. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Cantwell tbh. 10 10 8 I believe in last 3 home starts

    4. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'm going with Cantwell and benching Grealish.

  15. Top Lad Dakes.

    Is Jimenez to DCL/Maupay worth a hit this GW - based on his recent minutes/form and upcoming fixtures compared to the latter 2?
    Would enable Maddison to Salah next week, otherwise just doing Rico to Robbo most likely, and likely with TC Mane! 🙂
    Many thanks!

    McCarthy // Martin
    TAA Soyuncu Lundstram // Rico Kelly
    Mane KDB Maddison Martial // Dendoncker

      Don’t think so

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers - any reason you're against it?

        & would you do it next week for a hit to fund that Maddison to Salah move? If so, which fwd?

        1. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Would do it next week mate.
          Decide on DCL or Maupay after this week.

          1. Top Lad Dakes.
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

        2. danlynch13
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I think Jiminez could score but if you are going to do it next week anyway maybe being aggressive could pay off. Personally prefer DCL he’s getting quite a few shots off

  16. LloristheHounds
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    A) McCarthy, lundstram, KDB

    Or

    B) Ryan, sidibe, richarlison

    Who gets more points next gw?

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I sincerly hope it's A. I expect it to be as well

    2. The FPL Units

    My GW2 team was epic but it all went downhill from there lol
    GW Rank: 9k
    Points: 80
    Transfer: King to Pukki(C)

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years

      Lol

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

        Captained Sterling in GW1 for 40 then Pukki in GW2 for 34...had dreams of the winning the thing then dropped like a stone lol

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Haha, that was fantastic for those that bargained with it. How are you now?

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

        I was 1m before last GW and clawed back to 750k after a decent GW22. Horrible season from GW3 to GW21

        1. Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah, hella unlucky that mate but onwards and upwards. I was 198k OR GW3, fell to 1.9m (!) by GW10. Clawed my way back to a peak of 84k GW20, been around 100k the last 2GW - very up and down, hopeffuly more up than down from now!

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years

    Captain choice. What do you think guys?

    A) KDB

    Salah to Maddison before this GW or make the move after Leicester away at Burnley?

    Thanks.

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      You mean Maddison to Salah? I made that move this week.

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      After

    3. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'd wait. I may do the same move if I lose Jimenez

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

      Can you lose other liverpool assets before the dgw as well?

    5. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      I'd wait personally

  22. LloristheHounds
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    A or B which is better?

    A

    Ryan(McCarthy)
    TAA, sidibe, Stephens (Lund, lacelles)
    Mane, salah, richarlison, fleck(dendonker)
    Aguero(C) Ings, maupay

    B

    McCarthy( button)
    TAA, tomori, Lund (rico, Kelly)
    Mane, KDB, Alli, Grelish (dendonker)
    DCL, vardy(C), ings

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

      A

      1. LloristheHounds
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Not worried about no KDB in A?

        1. fgdu
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          you could go A but KDB over mane or salah and put liverpool defender in there. That's what comes to my mind. I kind of think you can't miss out on KDB

  23. Gazpilicueta
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Daily tinkering post. got lots of options to consider with this team, what would you do?

    Foster, Button
    Trent, Lundstram, Sidibe, Soyuncu, Tomori
    KDB, Mane, Maddison, Wijnaldum, Dendoncker
    Aguero, Vardy, Ayew
    0.7 in the bank and 2 free transfers.

    A) Wijnaldum to Noble - free up a liverpool space, and choose third liverpool player next week on a mini wildcard.
    B) Sidibe to Mendy, long term positive
    C) Vardy to Ings, free up funds and get an inform ings with fixtures too, but vardy at burnley maybe this is a week too early.
    D) something else...

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

      A

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      probably A

  24. tjostolv
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Soy to Maitand-Niles or Sokratis = 10/10 move here?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldn’t this week

    2. Planet Head
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Hold

  25. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Any preference between the following for the next 4gw's? really tight. RMT has it neck to neck

    A: Soy/Aurier + Mane + DCL.....with a view to upgrading DCL after gw26
    B: Robbo + Martial + Tammy

    Already have Salah, TAA...

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A is what I'll likely have

  26. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    OOh! _Button dropped to 3.9, think I'll get him on W/C to back up Ryan.
    AAh! _ Already brought him in at 4.0!

    Genius Me.

    1. jia you
      • 7 Years

      did the exact same mate...pair of idiots lol

  27. LloristheHounds
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Who scores more gw 23?

    A)sterling, sidibe

    B)KDB, mendy

    ?

  28. Jarnathan
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    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.

    Is there something wrong with the comparison tool? When comparing him to Sidibe, it shows Mendy only making 1 start in 4 when filtering for the last 4 game weeks and a total of 90 minutes played... this doesn't match with other data....

  29. sovietrockettes
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    This Button drop is actually quite annoying. Many of us brought him in on our first WC precisely because he was acknowledged as least likely to drop......

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

      I brought him in earlier in the week on my second WC due to this lol
