Scout Picks

Premium midfielders with appealing matches headline Gameweek 26 Scout Picks

We’ve gone big in midfield and relatively light in attack for the Gameweek 26 Scout Picks, which may raise an eyebrow or two.

As usual, we deliberated over the Scout Squad submissions made by David, Neale, Paul and Geoff over the last few days before coming up with the final team.

We shape up in a 3-5-2 formation, with our team coming well inside the allotted budget of £85.0m.

GOALKEEPER

No goalkeeper received unanimous support among our Scout Squad panel but Alex McCarthy did get three votes ahead of Southampton’s clash with Burnley. The Clarets are in the bottom three for attempts on goal and shots in the box in away games and ranked 20th for shots on target. Southampton, meanwhile, have allowed fewer attempts on goal than all teams bar Manchester City over the last six Gameweeks.

DEFENDERS

All three of our defensive picks this week received universal backing from our Scout Squad panel.

Nine clean sheets in ten matches is reason enough to back a Liverpool defender in Gameweek 26, with Trent Alexander-Arnold‘s assist potential – he has already matched his total number of attacking returns from 2018/19 – another string to his bow. The Canaries have allowed more crosses per home game from their left flank – i.e. Liverpool’s right – than any other club this season.

While Bournemouth have admittedly picked up back-to-back wins at home, they haven’t scored in four of their last five games on the road and Enda Stevens could potentially profit from a Cherries defence that has conceded more chances from their right flank than any other club over the last six Gameweeks. Sheffield United have kept clean sheets in five of their 12 games at Bramall Lane, with only Liverpool conceding fewer goals on home soil.

Crystal Palace, meanwhile, have not only scored fewer goals than any other Premier League side this season but they have also allowed more crosses from their right flank than any top-flight team over the last dozen Gameweeks. Lucas Digne, therefore, is our Everton representative, not least because 65 of his 81 FPL points have arrived in home fixtures.

MIDFIELDERS

How many top 10k managers played the Triple Captain for Double Gameweek 24?

Mohamed Salah, the leader in our captaincy poll, has registered 16-point hauls in each of the last two Gameweeks and averages 9.2 Fantasy Premier League points per match in 2020 so far. It has to be said that Salah hasn’t been prolific on the road this season, scoring only two goals away from Anfield – although he has supplemented those strikes with five assists. Salah bucked the trend in his last away outing, however, racking up 14 points in Liverpool’s 2-0 win over West Ham United. Norwich have shipped 25 goals in 12 home fixtures this season, meanwhile.

Manchester City’s home game against West Ham is arguably the standout fixture of Gameweek 26, with Kevin De Bruyne‘s security of starts – he has made Pep Guardiola’s starting XI for 17 league matches in a row – a big draw given the unpredictability of Guardiola’s selections elsewhere. David Moyes’ troops have conceded 14 big chances and ten goals over their last four matches. De Bruyne tops the league for key passes in his last four, meanwhile.

With Aston Villa the only side to have conceded more big chances than West Ham since Gameweek 21, Son Heung-min is our third premium midfield option selected. The South Korean may be in a more central role at Spurs following Steven Bergwijn’s arrival and he has fired 11 shots in the box in the last four Gameweeks since Harry Kane was sidelined.

Sergio Aguero was a first-choice pick for three of our Scout Squad but, omitted by Paul and with other £10.0m+ options receiving universal backing, the Argentinean was a luxury we simply couldn’t afford. Instead, we turn to Riyad Mahrez as our second City representative. Both Aguero and Mahrez have started 14 matches this season, with the latter proving the more explosive with five double-figure hauls to the Argentinean’s four.

We’re gambling on Graham Potter’s unpredictable team selection as we take a punt on Leandro Trossard extending his reliable home form against Watford. All three of the Brighton winger’s goals this season and four of his five assists have come at the Amex Stadium. When selected, he has been involved in 64% of the Seagulls’ efforts in front of their own supporters. Trossard has averaged 5.1 FPL points per home appearance.

FORWARDS

Crystal Palace are without a clean sheet in nine Gameweeks, so Dominic Calvert-Lewin has a chance to continue his fine form in the Carlo Ancelotti era. The Everton striker is joint-second for big chances when all FPL assets are filtered by their last four matches.

Danny Ings may have blanked for three Gameweeks in a row (one of his run-outs coming off the bench, in mitigation) but there is little wrong with his underlying stats, with the Southampton striker joint-third alongside Calvert-Lewin for shots in the box when players are filtered by their last four matches. The fact that he has racked up those attempts in just 270 minutes of football (out of a possible 360) makes that an even more impressive statistic. Ings has scored in five of his last seven home fixtures.

SUBSTITUTES

No goalkeeper has kept more league clean sheets than Dean Henderson this season and the Sheffield United shot-stopper was the first-choice pick for three of our Scout Squad panel ahead of the Blades’ clash with Bournemouth, who score at a rate of less than one goal per game away from home in 2019/20.

Mason Holgate is an ever-present under Ancelotti and David was keen to see us double-up on the Toffees, with Palace’s shot-shy attack visiting Merseyside.

Jack Stephens was Geoff’s preferred Southampton option, having recorded three assists and three clean sheets in the last ten Gameweeks.

Watford forward Troy Deeney – third for xGI among FPL forwards since Nigel Pearson took charge – this weekend faces a Brighton and Hove Albion defence with only one clean sheet to their name in 14 matches.

    Am I right playing Henderson over McCarthy? Scout picks thrown me.

    Henderson
    VVD - O’Connell - TAA
    Salah (c) - Son - KDB - Barnes
    Ings - Jiminez- Martinelli

    Bench : McCarthy Traore Taylor Lascelles

    1. Najoman86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      SHU edge SOU slightly in the CS odds

    2. Greek Freak
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      That's why I don't like rotating keepers, you're bound to leave points on the bench (if you had Pope for example you'd have definitely benched him for his penalty save vs. Leicester or clean sheets vs. United and Arsenal).

      I'd start Henderson as well for what's worth.

    3. chudleighcannons
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'd sub martinelli for traore.. Toss up for the keeper

    4. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah mate! Hendo is a better option than McCarthy any day!

  2. mrodgers91
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Was almost set on salah (C) all week but had a crazy thought, any chance he gets benched by klopp with away CL game coming up

    1. chudleighcannons
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah definitely a chance he won't play the full 90

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

      Maybe plays 70mins, highly doubt benching

    3. Greek Freak
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Chance he doesn't play the full 90, no chance he's benched IMO.

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Coming off break will need game time pre CL but probably 70/75 minutes if game going well

    5. mrodgers91
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      As I said crazy thought. Other options are KDB or auba, cash ML rivals have capitaned salah last 2 weeks and feel like I have to cover them, only being 8pts off top

    6. LSK
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Possible. But captain anyway.

    7. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He'll be coming back from a 2 week winter break, why would he need to be benched? Maybe gets subbed off about 15 min early at worst but that would only happen if Liverpool is comfortably winning so a good chance that Salah has already scored.

    8. LE CHARO
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No chance he'll bench him, after 2 weeks without a game he'll need to play his first team to get them back into match rhythm before a vey high intensity game against Atletico.

    9. mrodgers91
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks all put my mind at rest, captain salah it is.

      A

  4. Ci Siamo

    Traore likely to start next two gameweeks?

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure about this week! He dislocated his shoulder!

      1. Blunder fc
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        He's dislocated it twice during games and finished the match. The bloke's a beast

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      We don’t know- need to wait for Nuno’s press conference next week. But sounds like he should be ok

    3. chudleighcannons
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He'll have almost 2 weeks rest for a minor knock and dislocation. I think he is fine.

    McCarthy
    TAA Lund Holgate
    Salah Traore Grealish KDB
    Auba Vardy Jimi
    (Button Rico Dendoncker Soy)

    1FT & 0.2ITB

    1) Lund > Egan
    2) Vardy > Ings
    3) Lund & Soy > Egan & Gomez (-4)
    4) Lund & Vardy > Gomez & Ings (-4)

    1. LSK

      A

  6. LSK
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Gtg? Only 2 Liverpool but not worth switching anyone out for a hit?

    McCarthy
    Trent, Baldock, Digne
    Salah (c), KDB, Grealish, Martial
    Jimenez, Vardy, Ings

    Button, Dunk, Lundstram, Cantwell
    1.7itb, no free transfers

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Team looks nice fwiw.

      1. LSK
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks! Was thinking about wildcarding but decided to hold

    2. Woy_is_back
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Martial is cack

      1. LSK
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Worth a hit? Can’t afford Son so might leave him in.

        1. Woy_is_back
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          No hits. Could still get something from that poor Chelsea defence

          1. LSK
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            That’s what I’m hoping for. Not expecting a good performance after watching him play against Wolves!

            1. Woy_is_back
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah, he was terrible against Wolves. I´m probably going to switch him to Mahrez cause I have two free transfers.

  7. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Seems to be some genuine talk about the City game being called off due to weather. It will probably be fine, but an extra double could be interesting.

    1. Greek Freak
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If by genuine talk you mean lots of posts on this site, then yes.

    2. chudleighcannons
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Might be worth spacing out the C and VC a week.. I had Kun and KDB but maybe Kun and Salah is safer

    3. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      My lads under 9s game already fallen victim to the predicted breeziness.

      A matter of time!

    4. Big Ronnie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      More likely Shef Utd called off looking at the forecast.

    5. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Every winter there is this talk yet it hasn't happened in more than 5 years. Without major snow, extremely unlikely that a PL match gets postponed due to weather.

  8. TAT
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Which WC team looks best?

    Henderson - McCarthy
    TAA - Lascelles - Stevens - Stephens - Boly
    Salah - Son - KDB - Hayden - Traoré
    Firmino - Ings - Jiménez

    Henderson - McCarthy
    TAA - Lascelles - Stevens - Stephens - Boly
    Salah - Mahrez - KDB - Hayden - Traoré
    Agüero - Ings - Jiménez

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Probably A considering the blanks coming up in 28.

      1. TAT
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        That's the option I prefer (at the moment). Option B would be a slightly more risky one where I'm counting on City to do well leading up to the blank.

    2. LE CHARO
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Long term A looks best, but you could reap the rewards with B this GW. And you have the possibility to transfer out both Aguero and Mahrez for free in GW28, so I guess it depends on who you think scores more over the next 2 GWs.

      1. TAT
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Indeed, City do have a favourable fixture this GW and potentially the next that could be worth the risk going with option B.

        I could also do a compromise move, with going Mahrez over Son.

        1. LE CHARO
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          That's a good compromise to have more City cover this GW, but Son has a very juicy fixture too and is a less risky pick

          1. TAT
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Yes, that's the worry about dropping Son on WC. I guess it might come down to Son vs Mahrez – both having really good fixtures this GW.

            The advantage with Son is that you have attacking cover from an additional team with a good fixture – and he plays up front now doesn't he, with Kane out?

            1. LE CHARO
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              How about getting both Son and Mahrez and get a cheap forward like Martinelli as 8th attacker instead of Hayden?

              1. TAT
                • 6 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                Hm…that's also a possibility. Potentially a bit inflexible with that third striker spot; on the other hand I could do Lascelles > Gomez or Boly > VVD with the funds available from getting Martinelli as a third striker.

                Martinelli won't necessary be a sure starter though.

              2. TAT
                • 6 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                I like the suggestion though! 😀

  9. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ryan
    TAA / Pereira / Lundstram*
    Salah / KDB / Son / Martial
    Ings / Deeney / DCL

    Button // Traore / Rico / Masuaku

    A) Lundstram/Martial > Stephens/Mahrez (-4)
    B) Lundstram/Masuaku > Stephens/VVD (-4)
    C) Lundstram/Masuaku/Ryan > Stevens/VVD/McCarthy (-8)

    I think the reason I'm quite hell-bent on two defender transfers, is that I don't want to play Pereira & Rico very much for the next two.

    Not going double Liverpool defence feels dangerous, as does no SHU coverage.

    As I plan to get Jiminez for GW27, A does not allow room for 2 x Liverpool defender until GW28, basically.

    1. Belli2007
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Pereira quite capable of attacking returns so I would take the risk on that rather than chase the 4pts you took for a hit

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        In that case I may do C, but hold off on the Stevens move? Or B.

        Possibility game gets called off, or Lundstram magically starts - as with Mahrez being benched of that being called off too!

        1. Belli2007
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Can you get VVD without a hit?

  10. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is it silly to do Auba to Kun? Would captain.

    1. chudleighcannons
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No, probably a very smart move.. But Aguero could miss fixtures in the long run for CL matches (and obviously GW28)

      1. Belli2007
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yes but maybe less now Sterling out

  11. fish66
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Maddison, Martial -> Fleck, Son for Free?

    1. Blunder fc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Son has average fixtures and fleck has a blank

    McCarthy
    TAA / Robbo / Lund
    Salah (vc) / KDB / Fleck / Grealish
    Vardy / Aguero (c) / Ings
    (Button / Doucore / Tanganga / Williams)

    My starting 11 right and Captain choice right?

    Aguero over Salah could make or break me in my ML. Safe option would be Salah, just not sure I want to play safe at this point in the season..

      Not much in it...I would probably go the other way myself, but only just

  16. BBC_TF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Any resolution on the best Lund replacement? I have mccarthy so wont double Saints. Also wary of the sheffield blank coming up. That leaves me with two options:

    1- SAISS (4.4)
    +Goal threat, Wol defensive qualities, fixtures
    -Rotation risk, Europa, 2 YCs from ban

    2- LASCELLES (4.2)
    +Sure starter, fixtures, decent goal threat, home solidity, price
    -3 of next 4 are away, less upside than Saiss on goals

    What do you guys think?

    1. mrodgers91
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Boly if you have the money? Almost as important to wolves defence as laporte is to city

  17. Forever In Our Shadow

    Auba. A transfer waiting to happen or great differential? I’m with the former. Just don’t feel Arsenal are anywhere near good enough going forward.

    1. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Depends how many other issues you have.

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

      Personally i have Kun and will swap to Auba depending on how they look this week

      1. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I have neither. Kun’s rotation risk is worse than missing a haul and Auba isn’t looking like the man he was last season.

        1. JT11fc
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          If you dont already have money up front then maybe avoid Auba

    3. Viper
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm an Arsenal fan & I would have zero interest in any Arsenal assets to be honest.

      Of course Auba is one of those that is capable of a brace but I just don't trust them

    2. Klaren
      • 6 Years

      Wouldn't take a hit for Stephens unless you need the additional transfer to fix your team for the next few weeks as well.

    Hey all hope you’re well. 1FT, 0.8 ITB would you
    Captain
    1) Salah (nor) (current) - though may not play full 90 b/c of UCL
    2) KDB (WHU)
    and also, would you rather
    A) Rico (BHA), roll FT
    B) Kelly to Taylor(sou) and bench Rico (first sub)

    McCarthy (Martin)
    TAA Lundstram Rico (Lascelles Kelly*)
    Salah Mane* KDB Martial (Hayden)
    Vardy Ings DCL

    THANKS! 🙂 (Vardy, DCL, Martial possibly Lundstram on chopping block soon)

    Cantwell or Mooy or WC? Mooy better short term but Cantwell more likely to play in 31?

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Cantwell. 6G, 2A is great for a cheap mid.

    How’s the WC team looking?

    Alison Button
    TAA Stevens Bellerin Boly Lascelles
    Salah (c) Son Mahrez Traore
    Auba Jiminez Ings

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Too much arsenal.

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Decent but kind of feel Alison is a wasted liverpool spot.
      Not sure about Bellerin and who is your 5th mid?

      1. Sepp Blattered
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Hayden

  24. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Dendonc to Mahrez for -4?

    Would mean benching Grealish or Traore.

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

      If you like a punt then yeah I would take the risk

  25. Mr_Barbs
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A) Lundstrum & Martial > O'Connell & Mahrez (-4)
    B) Maupay & Martial > Jiminez & Redmond (-4)
    C) Lundstram > O'Connell

    McCarthy
    TAA, VVD, Lundstram
    Salah, KDB, Martial, Grealish, Fleck
    Vardy, Ings

    McGovern, Maupay, Soyuncu, Kiko

  26. Sepp Blattered
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A) Stevens, Bellerin, Mahrez
    Or
    B) O’Connell, Tanganga, KDB

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

      A tbh, but if you can fit KDB in too in any way I would

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

      Would do A with OConnell as well tbh. Then it depends whether you trust Bellerin fitness and Arsenal defence more than Tanganga nailedness especially with Davies back, and Spurs defense.

      Bellerin and Mahrez could both be excellent differentials if it goes right

  27. SPFC
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Vardy out, Jimenez in for -4. Worth it?

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No. Really you want both along with ings going forward imo.

      1. SPFC
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I have both and Firmino is my third forward, but I'm happy to have him for now

  28. UpTheCherries
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Final call... 5.0m ITB 1FT GTG?!

    Henderson
    TAA Lundstram Rico
    Salah(C) Mane KDB Traore Grealish
    Ings Jimenez

    Button Soy Greenwood Williams

    Any changes youd make? Greatly appreciated it 🙂

    1. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe just Rico or Lundy out for SOU or another SHU def

      1. UpTheCherries
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah what I was thinking. Wish I could get aguero in for Greenwood but no way of generating the cash.

  29. Gideons Rolling Another One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Last thought on this WC Team?

    McCarthy
    TAA / VVD / Egan
    Salah / KDB / Mahrez / Fleck
    Aguero / Ings / Jiminez

    Bench: Pope / Hayden / Tanganga / Taylor

    Long term plan is Aguero and Hayden to Vardy and Barnes for there nice run, keeping Fleck as a non playing 5th mid.

    I could downgrade VVD to Gomez, and upgrade Fleck to someone else 6.3, maybe Barnes (Just not to sure about him!)

    Any thoughts much appreciated.

    1. AC2077
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I like it

      I'd be cautious about Mahrez for the long term due to Pep, but he should do well this week
