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.

    Does KWP affect Stephens? would you stick with Stephens for now or go KWP?

    1. Holmes

      Stick

      Same here,
      Looking for a kelly replacement... from SOT

      Kwp or stephens?

    I’ve been contemplating Martial to Mahrez all week and it feels sound, but I have a lingering feeling that Bilva will play instead, combined with a blank in 28 and another transfer waiting to happen.

    1. Lecky Legs FC
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Just stick with KdB if your already own no need to double up on City attack

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

      Same boat but with Moura, if your hopefully not going to be needing alot of transfers for the rest of your team its doable

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

      I’m in similar position. Could also go Aguero for Vardy but will want Vardy back for the blank so would be another transfer

    4. Woy_is_back
      • 6 Years

      I think I will do it. Fear the benching too 🙁

    5. THFC4LIFE

      I’ve looked at the same move, would be for a hit in my team though

  3. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years

    After this week, how does this sound?

    Kun & Martial ——> Jimenez & Mane (-4)

    1. ebb2sparky
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      That was pretty much my plan all week although ings instead of Jimenez. Now considering double pool defence and son instead of mane. Not sure...

  4. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years

    Chasing in my ML. 47 points behind. Should I take a punt on KDB as C. Have Salah too. Leader will definitely C Salah.

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

      47 is nothing. I wouldnt let the ML leader affect your decision when it's only 47

  5. Kaptenen
    • 7 Years

    Lundy out for -4?

    A) KWP/Stephens

      1. Kaptenen
        • 7 Years

    Don't see many with Richarlison in their WC teams? Any reasons for that?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Immediate fixtures. I rate him highly

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I'm a Kopite but can see him kicking on now for the season no extra cup competitions and only the league to focus will probably play to his best if Barcelona are still sniffing around in the Summer.

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

      Fixtures

      Looking at him from Martial perhaps but it’s wait and see

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

      It was close for me but I went for Son

    4. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Seen the fixtures?

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I have form over fixtures for me they said looks rejuvenated under Carlo risky I know but worth a try if your chasing ML's

        1. Royal5
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Agreed but better options in form with good fixtures. Kdb, Salah and Son for example.

  10. Eastman
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Owning Mané and Vardy surprisingly makes me feel like having two differentials.

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

      The way this season has gone you’re prob right

      Lundstram to Stevens worth a -4...

      1. Kun Tozser
        • 8 Years

        Are you starting Lund?

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

        I’ve swapped him for Stephens from Southampton but am concerned as no SU defensive cover so yes makes sense. Is Stevens worth the extra over the cheaper options?

        1. Kun Tozser
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Not for a hit

      Did that one last week.

      Hasn’t paid yet 🙁 Does it matter you’ll be benching both in 28. Looks short term if done this week

    4. Concrete

      Yes

  12. ebb2sparky

    If you sold mane last week are you planning on bringing him back? I was but now thinking perhaps Son might be a safer choice?

    1. Lecky Legs FC
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Son is on pens and upfront worthy investment

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

      No looking at Bobby or Son

    3. PapaWengzz

  13. FDMS All Starz

    A) Lunds

    B) Soyuncu

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years

      1 retun in tge last 10 for Soy. You need to get rid 8f both him and Lund.

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        C

    2. JT11fc

    Set up for this week OK?

    1. JT11fc
      • 5 Years

      Would play Oconnell over Stephens evem tho its doubling up.

      1. denial
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Yeah I get that. I was spreading the bet. Do you see Burnley scoring?

        1. Lecky Legs FC
          • 8 Years

          I do Chris Wood set pieces specialty

        2. JT11fc
          • 5 Years

          Very unlucky not to score last gw altho it was against ars

  15. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ings and Jimenez up top in a 352 to weak? Obviously midfield will be strong.

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

      Fine - Martinelli and interesting fodder option

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

      I dont think so. If you have Salah Mane KDB Son in midfield it's worth it

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

      Fine for this period.

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

      No i dont think so

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

      Nope think that’s fine. Vardy could change it but reasonable I think to wait for him as he tends to be streaky

      You’ve lost Ayew?

    6. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No value in midfield at moment.. better off going 3-4-3

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

      I've gone for it, so I hope it's fine. Power midfield instead

  16. Nightcrawler

    Start lund or mount?

    Or sell either one of them for a hit? Have 3.2 itb

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Start mount

    2. Concrete

      Mount

    3. Teror
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      With 3.2itb you could make quite a good upgrade on Son possibly. But I'd start Mount out of those two.

      1. Teror
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I meant upgrade on Mount. Freudian slip there.

            B) Lascelles (ars)
            C) Hayden (ars)

                Thanks! Lascelles could score against arsenal though, hes that kind of player.

                  Ye i have thought that, hes currently on my bench. Not sure who will play RB for SOU, which may help Taylor

            Only can afford 4.5 for Lundstram replacement - should I go for:
            A) Egan
            or
            B) Stephens
            ..?

            Worth mentioning is that McCarthy is my only GK

              Egan

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

              I’ve gone Stephens but wouldn’t double up on Sot defence so Egan

            3. Iain Dowies Love Child
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Egan if you have McCarthy

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

            Play Kiko, Lundstram or Lascelles and roll FT or do Lundy to Egan?

            1. FPL Virgin
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years

              How many GW28 blank players do you have?

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

                4 blanks at the moment.

                1. FPL Virgin
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 1 month ago

                  I'd play Kiko with Lascelles first sub.

            2. Iain Dowies Love Child
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Probably need to address the inevitable transfer down the line and sell Lundy

          8. fc_skrald

            I have been too bad at picking a good goalkeeper this season - now I have decided to just go with the cheapest one, McCarthy, until at least the double gameweeks beginn. Have no expectations, will be happy with 2 points per game 🙂

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

              I would be happy with 2 PPG too.

              Yours sincerely

              You failed that too, Button at 3.9 is the cheapest gk.

              If I could be bothered using a transfer on GK spot, then I would be joining you with McCarthy. Ryan has been useless for months now!

            Manchester City v West Ham getting postponed tomorrow because of the weather would make the DGW situation extremely interesting. It would potentially leave City will 4 fixtures to arrange (Arsenal, West Ham, GW31 and GW34 fixtures) and only two spare midweeks to play them in GW34 and GW37.

                  This weekend can be considered as break as well?

                    not really they have still be training etc for the West Ham game.

                  fixtures could potentially be played on CL nights when they are not involved (there are two of these in the round of 16, and there will be more if they are knocked out of the CL)

              Winds forecasted to drop to 20mph when the game kicks off. Doubt it will get postponed.

                At home to Newcastle purely on my bench boost? Other option is someone like McNeil or Fleck?

            Unsure of whether to hold Martial or not. 2FT

            A) Martial & Maupay to Traore & Jiménez
            B) Kelly to Tanganga as bench fodder
            C) Mauapy to Martinelli
            D) B&C together

              I bought him last week to enable aguero. I then watched him play against wolves and wondered why on earth I bought him. He looks so uninterested and a terrible fantasy pick. I'll probably shift him for a hit this week so would definitely sell on 2FT

                Aguero, Ings. El Ghazi.

                Do you think I am right in playing El Ghazi over Soy and Targett ?
