The Complete Guide to Scout’s tips and advice for FPL Gameweek 23

The Fantasy Football Scout Guide to Gameweek 23 begins with a heads-up about Gameweek 24 – the deadline is Tuesday 18:30 GMT – don’t forget to set your team for the first Double Gameweek of the season after this weekend.

However, we have another round of fixtures to consider before then. And plenty of team news, analyses and captaincy decisions to ponder. You’ll even discover why Joe’s transfer plans involve him going “Choudhury deep”. Yes, it does sound very wrong. 

Given Lateriser’s headline success of Vardy to Aguero last week, the Scoutcast trio of Joe, Sam and Lee asked the question: is it time to sell Vardy?

Lee’s concern, as someone who has owned him since early in the season, would be the amount of value lost. Especially if you want to buy him back later on. Joe countered that for him it’s “points not pounds” that count – he doesn’t care about losing value but he does worry about losing points. Leicester face Burnley and West Ham next.

Sam cautioned that given Vardy is likely to be highly captained this week, not owning him could hurt. Indeed, the former England international is currently second in the captain poll. 

Encouragement for handing Vardy the armband was to be found in David’s Captain Sensible article: 

The expected data paints an even more damning picture for Burnley ahead of hosting Vardy, who may feel he has a point to prove after failing to shoot against Southampton. The Clarets’ expected goals conceded (xGC) score from their last four stands at 7.70, the third-worst in the league.

– David

However it’s Kevin De Bruyne who leads the poll and was described as “the safe bet” in the Gameweek 23 Captaincy Video. He is a player who is overperforming – he hasn’t had a big chance since Gameweek 9 but has scored five goals in that time – but as Neale observed

That doesn’t mean [De Bruyne’s] returns are unsustainable, of course. As we have pointed out before, the so-called ‘better’ players tend to … convert a higher proportion of their chances (or have teammates who more reliably convert their key passes).

– Neale

And with so many of his teammates in fine form, assists are perhaps a more likely source of points. Pro Pundit Tom Freeman is leaning towards handing the Belgian the captain’s armband. 

Resurgent Saints

Tom was one of many to talk up Southampton assets this week. David labeled their defence as “FPL-investment-ready” following his in-depth examination of their credentials. Tom agreed, pointing out that their expected goals conceded over the last ten matches is second only to Liverpool. He highlighted goalkeeper Alex McCarthy and defender Jack Stephens as potential bargains.

McCarthy is Andy’s favoured option to replace the stricken Fabianski. The face of Let’s Talk FPL discussed goalkeeper replacements earlier this week. 

And fellow Pro Pundit Zophar drafted in McCarthy as part of a mini-Wildcard (three transfers for the cost of four points). He’s one of two Saints players added to his squad, the other being Danny Ings. Assessing the in-form striker, Zophar enthused:

No forward has scored more goals (five), taken more SiB (19) or landed more shots on target (SoT) (11) than the Englishman over the last five Gameweeks.

– Pro Pundit Zophar

Saints fan Differential (c) brought us his insights into the turnaround in Southampton’s fortunes this season, noting that a settled back four has been a key component of their upturn in form. Once again McCarthy, Stephens, and that man Ings were given special mention. 

For the third transfer of his mini-Wildcard Zophar decided to play “Pep Roulette” in an effort to climb the ranks. 

Riyad Mahrez put pen to paper for the six-time top 5,000 manager. A move Pro Pundit Sam – currently in the top 10,000 – considers fraught with peril. Adding that Man City don’t play Aston Villa every week and a look at this site’s fixture ticker reveals they are bottom over the next ten Gameweeks.

Nonetheless, Zophar feels the Algerian has done enough to become a regular starter and found comfort in the words of Guardiola:

You see his legs it is impossible to be injured because he has no muscles. The final third he has something special, always I have the feeling he can score a goal.

– Pep Guardiola

Mahrez is included in the predicted line-up for the Sky Blues. And the Citizens top the latest DS stats, fixtures and clean sheet odds provided by G-Whizz.

Richarlison and Rashford updates

The surprising news from Friday’s press conferences came from Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti: 

“We are without for this game Richarlison. He had a little problem yesterday in training and will not be available for the game. I hope he will be available on Tuesday. Little problem on his knee, he had a little twist but nothing special. Minor problem but unfortunately will not be available tomorrow. We are without Sigurdsson, he has minor groin issues.”

– Carlo Ancelotti

How their absence will impact Everton’s creativity is anyone’s guess. Of particular interest to fantasy managers is Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has taken 14 shots in his last four matches. David wrote of him in Captain Sensible:

Calvert-Lewin is a player who boasts considerably better individual underlying statistics since Gameweek 19 than De Bruyne and Vardy – and faces an opposition whose defence is arguable worse than Crystal Palace or Burnley’s.

– David

Pep Pig backs the 22-year-old to find the back of the net at the London Stadium.

Marcus Rashford was subbed off shortly after coming on in Man United’s FA Cup replay against Wolverhampton Wanderers, giving owners cause for concern. At yesterday’s press conference manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer failed to reassure, stating only that Rashford was receiving “checks and treatment”.

Perhaps the bigger worry for FPL bosses is not the match against leaders Liverpool but rather the midweek game at home to Burnley.

Sam urged us not to ignore teams with only one match in Double Gameweek 24: 

Double Gameweeks are a gift for us FPL managers but my experience of dealing with them is to not let them blindside you into forgetting about the single Gameweek players.

– Sam

In addition to the Clarets trip to Old Trafford, Watford’s fixture against Aston Villa also appeals:

Watford play Aston Villa, who have only won twice in their last nine games. In the reverse fixture, Watford won 3-0.

– Sam

Neale’s Big Numbers article showed us just how good the Hornets have been of late: 

21 chances created by Gerard Deulofeu (£6.1m) and Troy Deeney (£6.2m) combined since Nigel Pearson first took charge of Watford in Gameweek 17. The pair are first and joint-second respectively for key passes among FPL forwards over the last six Gameweeks.

– Neale

Deeney’s leadership since his return from injury an important factor, with Ismaïla Sarr another to thrive under the new manager.

Liverpool and Enablers

Liverpool assets continue to dominate our thoughts ahead of their two fixtures next Gameweek. Reds-fan Lee feels that ignoring the 40%-owned Mané could ruin his season given that many are likely to captain him.

While Joe has devised a plan, which involves switching to a 4-3-3 formation and acquiring the £4.3m-rated Hamza Choudhury, in order to get Mané and play his Triple Captain chip on him. 

We’ve had a couple of articles attempt to map out the Blank and Double Gameweeks later in the season, and devise a chip strategy. Both Neale and Lord – Blaming it on Rio feel that Gameweek 24 could be a good time to use the Triple Captain chip, although it’s difficult to say if a better opportunity won’t present itself further down the line.

Meanwhile, considering her Liverpool trio, Sam feels a more balanced approach is the way to go. For her, the cheaper Firmino and Martial – with his home fixture against Burnley – is a good combination. Against Tottenham last weekend, the Brazillian scored his seventh away league goal of the season (more than Mane and Salah combined) and drew praise from Klopp:

When I went to him and wanted to give him a hug after the game, he wanted to stop and talk first. He said, ‘I know I should have scored more goals’. It was absolutely not what I wanted to say! Yes, a super player, super. I don’t say this for the first time and will hopefully not say it for the last time. Pretty impressive.

– Jurgen Klopp

David added to the growing confidence in Liverpool’s number nine in his members-only assessment: 

Both over the last four matches and his last four away trips especially, the Brazilian has produced some incredibly encouraging underlying statistics.

– David

For those favouring double Liverpool attack, cheap enablers are needed.

Picked out as differential by Joe on the Scoutcast, Tom Freeman in his differentials article, and Andy in the Community Q&A videoLeandro Trossard is tipped to fit the bill. Brighton face Aston Villa next – no team has conceded more goals away than Villa and with Trossard’s next four games all against teams near the bottom of the table, he has the potential to do well. 

Not everyone is set on double attack as Greyhead discovered in his latest look at The Great and The GoodCareer Hall of Fame number one, Sean Tobin, has opted for a defensive double-up in the shape of Robertson and Alexander-Arnold. 

Chelsea’s Big Chance

Two Chelsea players are included in this week’s Scout Picks – Tammy Abraham and Reece James make the cut.

Part of the reason for their inclusion is the strength of the team they are facing:

Newcastle defence that has conceded the second-highest number of big chances over the last four Gameweeks.

– Scout Picks

The importance of looking at Big Chances was highlighted by AK this week, who found them to be the best indicator of goals alongside expected goals.

Good news then for owners of Abraham. Pep Pig felt he was unlucky not to score more than once against Burnley.

    1ft Ramsdale 50% doubt, Button on bench so no GK for this GW. What GK shall I go for who's £4.8 or below?

    1. Big Chris Wood

      Foster or McCarthy

    2. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years

      McCarthy’s a popular pick atm...

    4 years, 2 months ago

    Two questions :-
    a> Will Burnley just sit back and defend? Aren't Vardy goals dependent on teams opening up and leaving him space?
    b> Will KDB sit forward or back? I missed last weeks game but the previous game he was quite defensive and didn't really score

    Thanks for your views 🙂

    1. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A. Not sure they will sit back as they really need to win which kinda puts me off as if theyr fired up they can be tough. Which as you say could leave room
      B. Sit deep i think. Maybe hel dictate play from deep

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

      I've plumped for KDB. Regardless of whether he is deep or more advanced, he is a top-quality player. He is at home, in the better form and in the last 8 games City have scored 22 goals vs Palace.

  3. Big Chris Wood
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Start Martin(eve) or Foster(tot) in view of the Everton attacking injuries?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Martin won’t feature (Randolph) and would start Foster regardless

      1. Big Chris Wood
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah good advice, even if Martin starts as Randolph seemed a bit injured, he'll still let in a howler

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

      Tough one. I like Foster

  4. the dom 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Asked this earlier today but new crowd on here now;

    How would you replace Richarlison with?

    a. Grealish

    b. Mahrez (have KDB already)

    This would be for a -4 but dont mind taking a hit as my first Subs are Fleck & Rico.

    Thoughts?

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      how should be who*

      Mahrez

    4. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Would you not keep for Tuesday?

    5. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Maddison

      Mahrez second choice

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

    Do we reckon Rico is gonna play? Or should I replace him with Stephens for -4?

    Bench is Richarlison, Oriol, Kelly

    1. Big Chris Wood
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not for -4

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

        It's essentially a -2 if he doesn't play

        1. Big Chris Wood
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Not if you have a bench, it's -4. Face it even if he plays it will be 2 points. Similar for kelly.

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

            Interesting. Cheers

            • 8 Years

  7. Scotty Dog
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Best captain option?
    1)Vardy
    2)KDB
    3)Ings

    Surprisingly I'm leading towards Ings.

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years

      1

    2. JT11fc

      In fine fettle isn’t he? Just think Wolves defended well v United midweek, putting me off a bit.

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

      2. I've plumped for KDB. He is at home, in the better form and in the last 8 games City have scored 22 goals vs Palace.

  8. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    1) Have 5m itb and planning to do Martial > Mane in gw24 but is it worth making a quick 1gw stop at Mahrez (c) and then doing Mahrez > Mane in dgw24. If i dont, i get the benefit of 2FT's in gw24

    2) Captain KDB or Vardy?

    1. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      1 coupd payoff but not sure id cap
      2 Vardy

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

      2. KDB. He is at home, in the better form and in the last 8 games City have scored 22 goals vs Palace. Burnley although poor recently are generally better at Turf Moor.

  9. Shack
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Need to swap Jimmy or burn a FT - what about
    A: DCL
    B: Haller
    C: Maupay
    Thanks!!

    1. Big Chris Wood
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on your team, do you need to free up money and get Maupay?

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Gamble on b

  10. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Which ?

    A) gw24 martial/mads rams -4 to salah buton/mcarthy

    B) gw23 martial -4 to son, gw24 mads dcl -4 to firmino sarr/grleish/docuore/tross

      Solid

  12. Atimis

    Mahrez or Vardy for (c) ?

    1. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy

      1. Earn your Spurs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        But won't Burnley just sit back and not leave Vardy the space he needs to score?

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

          Probably. But he's nailed on.

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

          Feel like both Burnley and CP will play that way, Mahrez maybe just more fun to watch

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy

    3. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years

      Mahrez

  13. fish&chips
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Play one

    A) Rashford
    B) Traore

    Fearing a rash cameo

    1. Big Chris Wood
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Still rashford

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Rash, if he’s not fit to start I don’t think he will feature

    3. Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A cameo would be a bad call. He isn't building up match fitness after a long-term injury, so if he is fine he should start, and if not he shouldn't be in the squad.

      That's what i would tell Ole if I were assistant manager.

      1. fish&chips

    2. Sharkytect

      Vardy for me

    3. DontPiqueTooSoon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I've plumped for KDB. He is at home, in the better form and in the last 8 games City have scored 22 goals vs Palace.

      Kevin

    2. Phlajo

    What did Farke say about Pukki?

    1. Union_Jacks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He’s fine. Big plus for Cantwell.

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years

    The double liverpool defence vs double attack conundrum is going to define my season, not jusy gw24.

    I already have TAA and mane and my two options are:
    KDB > salah or
    Soyuncu > robertson.

    I don't have money tied up in KDB like everyone else as i was very late to the party, amd that's probably why i am even considering it. But also city's fixtures over the following 6 compared to Liverpool's are absurd. Having both mane and salah(TC) in the double gameweek has a higher ceiling than double defence, although i do think the defence is the sensible option for that long run of green fixtures.

    Another factor is that my rivals are all going for double defence and i need to make up ground.

    Not gonna be thinking about anything else for the next few days!

      Im not quite in the position where i have to sacrifice Kev but im saving it til after this gw to decide, for me its
      Robbo Moura Grealish
      V
      Williams Salah 5mil mid

      1. JT11fc
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        You could do what i might do and just go Robbo for now and if Salah fires then get him in for -4 at the worst.
        At least youl have him for those great fixtures after

        1. Sharkytect
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          No, not committing to either until after this gameweek. This is a good "wait and see" week.

          Your decision looks very tough - it more clearly affects team structure. Who are your other mids? (Apart from KDB)

  21. Squeakybum99

    Jim to Maupay?

    1. GreennRed

      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      You do know that Richarlison is out?

      1. shady4revr
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yes, just waiting for the best picks.

        1. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Weakens you’re team too much imo.
          Aguero with double Liverpool defence and one of Mane/Salah would be better.

          Plus Martin needs to be McCarthy.

    2. Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Would have to lose KDB.

    3. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      You’d have to get rid of KDB and Rich.

      1. shady4revr
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I think i should ignore Aguero

    4. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Ignore Salah and get two Pool defenders and Aguero. Gomez for Aurier.

      1. shady4revr
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I was planninh triple c salah

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Triple mane instead

          1. shady4revr
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            But salah is on pen

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

              How many has he had?

              If you really want kun and salah drop mane

        2. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          His form foesn't justify it for me, though for some reason I have him so will prob captain him. Hammers under Moyes and Wolves away don't look games where Salah and Mane will both haul. Debateable if either will.

    5. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Rich is injured

      Greenwood > Ings
      Rich > Doucoure
      Kelly > Lascelles
      Martin > McCarthy
      Aurier > Gomez

        Martin won’t even play

          4 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah will change i am on wc got him because of Kun

  24. The 12th Man

    4 years, 2 months ago

    Bench 1.
    Cantwell v Bournemouth
    Maddison @ Burnley
    Sarr v Spurs

    Benching Sarr at the moment.

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

      Correct imo

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

      That’s tough.

    3. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I think you’ve got it right...

  25. InterUranus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Jimi to Maupay -4?

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

      Not even for a FT.

  26. Ninjaa
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Play 2 out of Perez Grealish Traore??

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

      Tough that, probably Perez Grealish.

      You reckon Jimi to Maupay for -4 is bad business?

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Perez, Grealish.

  27. John Colby (Capt)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Captaincy thoughts:
    Vardy: Form has dropped off of late, playing in a side that has no Ndidi marshalling the midfield, away to a poor Burnley side that must surely be motivated at home. Dyche will have them ready.

    KDB: City’s record in all comps in the last 10 tells us that they’re back to form, he’s central to what they do and Palace are still without key defenders.

    Mane: With a youngster at full back, Lindelof’s form being indifferent, a midfield of Fred and the aging Matic and a high probability of Rashford not playing I feel Liverpool could put 3-4 past Man U and Mane lives an Anfield game.

    Mane it is.

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Salah?

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

      Things you've missed.

      1. Vardy has pens and nailed.

      2. KDB should be nailed, but started last 14 prem games and its Pep. Palace wall organised.

      3. Utd to park the bus.

      1. John Colby (Capt)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Good points - I just feel it’s a gut reaction but I honestly see Liverpool really hammering Utd tomorrow

    3. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Mane was up against a young defender last week too and he did nothing. The young defender might be fired up?

    4. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Mane v Wan Bissaka?

      1. Vlad Tepes
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Haha wan B is a beast, Salah plays vs Williams and Maguire lol

      2. John Colby (Capt)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Again good points - who are you all going for then?

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

      I've plumped for KDB. He is at home, in the better form and in the last 8 games City have scored 22 goals vs Palace.

  28. SerieD
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Im thinking of making different move: Abraham to captain!
    Newcastle is in bad shape. Chelsea could take 0-3 win and Abraham score 1-3 goals.

    I have KDB and Salah also.

    Toughts?

    1. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Why not..!!
      Captaincy will come down to the FPL gods again this week.
      Quite a few decent options...

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

        Yep! I need points for league so need to try something else. Cheers!

    2. Tasty Jerk
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I am thinking the same, Abraham (C) - i also have KDB and Vardy. Even with Luka out, with our best centre back pairing of Tomkins/Cahill i don't see Man City winning by as big a margin as some would think.

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

        Lets do it! I have been going back an forth with KDB and Tammy the whole week. I even looked up booker odds. 2.5x hat KDB scores and 1.9x that tammy does. So Abraham C it is!

        1. Tasty Jerk
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Done 🙂

    3. abaalan
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'm doing this too. Really like the poor Newcastle def stats and Abraham likely to get some chances (whether he scores or not is another matter, but fingers crossed!!!)

  29. Energetics
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Ramsdale
    Taa Doherty Soyuncu
    Mane KDB (c) Maddison Grealish Cantwell
    Vardy Ings

    Button Rashford Lundy Rico

    GTG?

    Ramsdale not likely to play worth a -4 to McCarthy?

    Am I wrong to bench Rashford?

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

      I did the same move for-4

  30. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Which ?.

    A) gw24 martial/mads rams -4 to salah buton/mcarthy

    B) gw23 martial -4 to son, gw24 mads dcl -4 to firmino sarr/grleish/docuore/tross
