Scout Picks

Gameweek 27 Scout Picks built on cheap striker triple-up

The Gameweek 27 Scout Picks is built on a mid-price forward line and a powerful double-up on Liverpool’s attack.

There are some favourable match-ups for the cheaper strikers this weekend, while West Ham’s visit to Anfield could produce a hatful of Fantasy Premier League points.

After deliberating over the Scout Squad submissions from David, Neale, Paul and Geoff, we have picked our best XI for Gameweek 27.

We line up in the 3-4-3 formation this time, coming in at £83.5m, £1.5m under our budget of £85.0m.

Goalkeeper

Five of Sheffield United’s nine clean sheets this season have come at Bramall Lane, which is why we’ve chosen Dean Henderson (£5.1m) for the Scout Picks. Over their last six away matches, upcoming opponents Brighton are in the bottom five for their goal conversion rate.

Defenders

You have to go back to Gameweek 15 for the last time Liverpool conceded at home while West Ham are the joint second-worst side for big chances over the last four matches. A clean sheet looks likely for Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.7m), who himself has not blanked in an outing he started since Gameweek 13.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.3m) makes it into the Scout Picks after three of our pundits chose him in their squad submissions. Liverpool (seven) are the only team with more clean sheets than Manchester United (four) since Gameweek 20 while the right-back has made some improvements to his attacking potential recently. Over the last four matches, none of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s players has created more chances than Wan-Bissaka.

Willy Boly (£4.7m) gets into the Scout Picks on the back of some impressive defending from Wolves of late. Over the last four matches, Nuno Espirito Santo’s men have conceded the second-fewest number of big chances, while upcoming opponents Norwich are still comfortably bottom of the Premier League for away goals this season, scoring just six times in 13 road trips.

Midfielders

 1

Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) looks set for a potentially big haul in Gameweek 27 as West Ham come to Anfield. Over the last four matches, the Hammers are joint-bottom of the league for shots allowed, in the bottom five for big chances conceded and nobody has a worse expected goals conceded (xGC) score. Salah himself is second in the division for shots in the box and no player has created more big chances than him.

Sadio Mané (£12.2m) benefits from that same defence this weekend so we are expecting great things from him too. In light of Ryan Fredericks’ recent shoulder injury, Liverpool’s left-winger should be up against veteran right-back Pablo Zabaleta, which could allow him space to exploit. Furthermore, West Ham looked vulnerable to set pieces against Manchester City and Mané is second only to Richarlison for headed attempts on goal among midfielders this season.

Fresh from scoring against Chelsea and Club Brugge this week, Anthony Martial (£7.9m) gets into the Scout Picks for the visit of Watford to Old Trafford. Manchester United’s centre-forward has scored three league goals in his last four home matches and will be boosted by the added creativity of new signing Bruno Fernandes. Meanwhile, Watford have conceded an average of two goals per game since Gameweek 24.

Jack Grealish (£6.7m) continues to be a reliable source of points despite Aston Villa’s recent struggles on the road. The midfielder has recorded two double-digit hauls in his last three away matches and, in his last four, only two players have created more chances than Grealish. Meanwhile, recent defensive improvements for Southampton have dried up as, since Gameweek 23, they have conceded 12 big chances, only three Premier League sides giving up more in that time.

Forwards

Raúl Jiménez (£7.8m) has four attacking returns in his last four home matches ahead of the visit of Norwich to Molineux this weekend. In his last four Premier League outings, the Wolves man is just one shot in the box behind Salah, while no player in the division has been afforded more big chances than him.

Danny Ings (£7.1m) is now just two goals behind Jamie Vardy in the hunt for the Premier League Golden Boot award and faces an out-of-sorts Aston Villa defence this weekend. Over their last four matches, Dean Smith’s men are inside the bottom five for shots conceded in the box while no side has allowed more big chances in that time.

Only two teams have conceded more big chances in their last four matches than Arsenal, which bodes well for Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.2m). The Everton forward is joint-top of the Premier League for big chances of his own over his last four and has three goals in the Toffees last four away matches.

Substitutes

Only West Ham and Norwich have scored more away goals than Bournemouth this season, which bodes well for Nick Pope (£4.7m), especially as Burnley have the joint-highest number of home clean sheets this season (six).

Patrick van Aanholt (£5.5m) faces a Newcastle side inside the league’s bottom two for shots on goal, big chances and shots on target in 2020 this weekend. Meanwhile, the left-back has been involved in set piece situations for Crystal Palace recently, a perennial weakness for the Magpies.

Charlie Taylor (£4.2m) is a cheaper route into that Burnley defence as it prepares to host a struggling Bournemouth side.

Stuart Armstrong (£5.2m) is another option for doubling-up on the Southampton attack as he has more shots on target than any of his colleagues over the last four, and two goals in in that time.

The Captain

The Scout Picks has a captain for the 2019/20 campaign.

This skipper is chosen using the conclusions of the latest Captain Sensible article and a four-way vote between David, Neale, Paul and Geoff.

Because the use of Fantasy Football Scout data is used so heavily in this process, the captain we choose each Gameweek is usually known only to those who have signed up to Membership for the 2019/20 season and revealed to the public only when the deadline has passed.

Here’s how we voted:

COMMUNITY CHAMPION

Representing the community against the Scout Picks in Gameweek 25 is ringwraith.

They have gone for a 3-5-2 of Dúbravka; Baldock, van Dijk, Robertson; Fraser, Alli, B Fernandes, Martial, Salah (c); D Jota, Aubameyang.

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 Contributors and Moderators League for the following season.

Haggis was thoroughly beaten in Gameweek 26 as the Scout Picks emerged with a 65-35 victory.

Community Champion gwitbrock beat our Scout Picks 86-63 in Gameweek 25 and as a result, their winning margin of 23 points is now the target to beat.

    Thoughts on how many minutes Maz, Kun and KdB will play?

    1. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      75, 65, 60

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas

        I'd take that...

    2. NoName

      80 15 60

    3. The Suspended One

      Mahrez 64 as per usual
      Kun 80 or until he gets bored
      KDB 90+5

    Hey lads....Gtg here? 0 FT 0.6 itb to upgrade McGovern to McCarthy for 28

    Henderson
    Robertson TAA Stephens
    Salah KDB Martial Grealish
    Vardy Ings Jiménez

    McGovern Kelly* Dendoncker Soyuncu

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Kelly bench #1 is a master stroke

  4. B Sharp
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Who would you take right now for a draft league? Value no issue....

    Martinelli
    Jordan Ayew
    Shane Long (already own J ward p)

    1. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Long has good fixtures till end but Ayew is probably more likely to get goals/assists.

      If possible, go with Long for next 2-3 GWs and then switch to Ayew

      1. B Sharp
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers for that. Would it change your mind if I told you james WP was sat behind him in midfield?

      2. B Sharp
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Apologies man I'm tired I wrote that to begin with

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      None

      long I guess

  5. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Play Dunk, Stephens or Cantwell?

    1. B Sharp
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Stephens

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Would your answer change if I had McCarthy?

        1. B Sharp
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Yes. Dunk then Cantwell but impossible call go with your first instinct

          1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Going Cantwell. Can't help but think 2 points is probably the max for either of the three. Have Saiss, as well, so if Wolves do concede, maybe he is involved in some way.

            1. B Sharp
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              We can dream mate. Bit of logic in there. Sounds like a save and set that alarm for 11.35

    2. NoName
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Stephens

    3. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Cantwell is worse on the road, But I still think he offers enough upside

  6. NoName
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    If only 0.2 tied up in KDB, would you shift him to Mane for a hit?

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Do you have Salah?

      1. NoName
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Yes

        1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          I'd hedge and keep KdB.

          1. NoName
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Thanks. The other option was Mahrez, but just feel like he'll start this gw and produce.

    2. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Depends who is enabler

      Kevin to Mane is worth a shot

      1. NoName
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Kun to Jimenez was the enabler. If I bring in Mane, front 7 is:

        Salah Mane Mahrez Traore
        Auba Jimenez Ings

        1. Holmes
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Go for it

          1. NoName
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Cheers mate 🙂

          4 years, 8 months ago

          It’s a very eh transfer

          Have your reasons for picking Alli over Martial changed since you made that decision last? What is different?

          1. Letsgo!
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            I have alli since the day he haul 15 pts but last game he missed alot of easy chances. So thinking martial seems better for this week. As simple as that.

              Another?

              Honestly man I like him as a player in general but leading the line for spurs he doesn’t pass the eye test if he manages to hold up the ball for one touch it’s never more than one touch

          He has just had couple shots on target over many matches. Very terrible form. His fixtures are great but I prefer form more so Ings Auba Jim looks best lineup for next 6 except the blank gw, you may have a decent bench

          He's not thinking. He's wasting his talent. Hus agent pushing for a move to a 'bigger' club. They mightn't be doing great but there are few clubs bigger than Manchester United in the grand scheme of things.

            His agent pushing for more commissions is more like it. Pogba is already a wasted talent and he’s in his prime, sad really

              He needs Solskjaer to do what Arteta did with Ozil. Get him to stop the messing and start giving his best for the club.

                Ozil has nowhere to go.
                Pogba has Many places & he knows that. Just taking the advantage of United's crisis.

                I like him as a player. But i don't want him anywhere Close to the team. The team ethic atm is nice. Players are average but at least they respect the badge

                    Look at the squads that Moyes, Van Gaal and Mourinho had in comparison to Solskaer. Maguire and Bissaka were good signings. Williams getting a run. Rashford was playing his best stuff for United. Getting a tune from Martial. Bruno is potentially a good deal. Didn't wasre a fortune looking for a player to fill in while Rashford is injured. Shaw playing much better. All under the pressure of being Manchester United's head coach. He's not doing as bad as some 'supporters' and 'experts' say, most of them selling cluckbait to people who know nothing about football.

                    1. HNI

                      4 years, 8 months ago

                      True that. Also.if he can develop Greenwood for next season, and manutd sign a CM and Cross loving winger, the team will.be formidable. Also he doesnt crib like Mou when he lost Mctominay and Rashford right when they were hitting peak form. Bad luck really but now with Mctominay back for City, Spurs, top4 is possible

                      1. GreennRed
                        • 13 Years

                        Even if he qualified for CL and/or won Europa they'll prob still try and get Poch. A pity, I think,cos he has unity in the squad and a fair bit of youth coming through.

                      • 12 Years
                      4 years, 8 months ago

                      Ole's done a fair job of rebuilding the squad. All his signings have had an impact and he's cleared out a lot of deadwood.
                      When he took over, in terms of the size of the club and the squad available, that was one of the toughest jobs in football as the squad was an absolute mess. He needs to boot out the likes of Lingard, Jones, Pereira and really start adding quality to the squad.
                      Even if he does not get top 4 this season, he's done a more than decent rebuilding job of the squad.
                      Think Utd could do worse than go with him as the DOF, if they choose to hire Poch as the manager.

                Ozil did that because it was his last chance. Alienated Madrid and Germany and then Arsenal, if Arteta really makes him a star over a long period, that will be a real trick...

                1. GreennRed
                  • 13 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  Ozil is too old. But Arteta is doing with him and other Arsenal players that previius coaches, including late days Wenger, didn't seem interested in doing.

            Talent is useless without hardwork, people forget that. Martial has as much talent as Hazard but they are levels apart as Hazard focussed on training and giving his all. Raiola has just got personal with his recent attacks on the club. The fool forgets that manutd can trigger Pogba contract extension and just waste away his next 2 crucial football years. Personally hope he is sold to PSG where he can enjoy his kind Neymar. Can the focus on getting good hardworking CMs like Bruno

          Cancer to the football, Mino. Hopefully we boot Pogba next window for whatever £ & reinvest and get a guy who respects United

              In epl, any player who has high work rate and decent slill will.flourish. Bruno came from low level Portuguese league but he already looks decent in epl. With some.more matches he will only add goal, tactics and calmness to this United Side. Even Ndidi, Fabian Ruiz, Tanoli will.be better for Manutd at much lesser wage and price

            2. Amey
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              The thing is, Pogba don't want to play for the club anymore. Otherwise he would have came out and blasted his agent. I say even a academy talent is better squad player than a guy who doesn't want to be there.

              Cleaning is almost done. Ideally a good CDM & Rw/striker signing and United are good to go IMO

                And its shameless that Pogba has just played 6 matches entire season and instead of being embarassed of not helping team, he , still collects his big pay checks every week and tells.his agent to screw Manutd over

    KDB - Salah - Fernandes - Mooy - (Cantwell)
    Wood* - Aguero - DCL

    2. Amey
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I'd keep Wood.
      Plays in 28/31.
      Can play this GW too.

      Aguero to Jimenez is obvious move.
      Upgrade Mooy next GW with €££

    Glad KDB(C) last week works somehow!!!
    A)Ings(AVL)
    B)Aubemeyang (EVE)

    OR, should I go with boring Salah(C)

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Jimi for sure

    2. JT11fc
      • 6 Years

      Ings most likely out of those i would think. I dont think its the week to punt outside of Pool assets tho. Trent cap could do it?

    3. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Go boring Salah

      Take a punt in next 2-3 GWs

  23. HurriKane
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    If you cant stretch to Lascelles is Charlie Taylor a decent alternative? (Kelly replacement)

    Charlie Taylor has 5 cs in 11 pl starts. looks like he like to maraud forward a lot from eye test

    1. JT11fc
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Yup good choice

    2. The Suspended One

    3. Amey

    Trent(C) tempts me.
    Yes, Salah seems like the obvious and safe choice this week, but I have a bit of climbing to do and captaining Trent has been something I've been wanting to try for a while now.

    1. JT11fc
      • 6 Years

      If W Ham play like they did v city then its almost garunteed CS and lots of space to swing in crosses

    Who of these would you chuck in blank gw?
    1) Auba (Great matches and form)
    2) Grealish ( Cheap value for money) Can bring Barnes (-4)
    3) KDB (Will probably be rested in easy BUR for crucial UCL match)

        Just swapped it to Mane from Salah.
        The only reason I am going Mane is he is captained less and I need punts now like a bit of a diff captain and -8 hits cause my OR is so bad might aswell have some fun and take a few punts.
