The Scout Squad picks for FPL Double Gameweek 29

Many Fantasy managers will face a dilemma or two as they prepare for a hastily arranged Double Gameweek 29, with Manchester City and Arsenal’s postponed Gameweek 28 clash now set to take place next Wednesday.

Assets from Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta’s sides unsurprisingly feature prominently in this week’s Scout Squad selection, although there are still a significant number of appealing Fantasy Premier League assets with a ‘single Gameweek’ for our panel to consider in this weekly precursor to the Scout Picks.

Regular readers will know the format of this recurring feature but for the uninitiated, staff members Paul, David, Neale and Geoff each propose an 18-man squad of players for the approaching Gameweek 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 earlier-than-usual Gameweek 29 deadline at 11:30 GMT on Saturday.

There are requirements for at least one sub-£5.0m goalkeeper, at least one defender costing £5.0m or less, at least one midfielder listed at £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…

I’m backing the Sheffield United defence to come back with a bang in Gameweek 29 as Norwich come to Carrow Road.

Over the last four matches, only three teams have conceded fewer big chances than the Blades, while, over that same period, Norwich are joint-bottom for shots in the box.

For that reason, I’ve selected Dean Henderson and Enda Stevens, who I expect to be fit in time to face the Canaries – but definitely wait for Chris Wilder’s next press conference, of course.

I’ve also included a defensive double-up on Southampton, despite their poor display at West Ham. In Gameweek 29, they host a Newcastle outfit that have fashioned the joint-fewest big chances over their last four.

Matt Doherty is starting to look like an important asset at both ends of the pitch. Over their last four matches, Wolves are second only to Manchester City for fewest big chances conceded and the player himself is in the top two for touches and shots in the box among defenders during that time.

Kevin De Bruyne and Nicolas Pépé are my top two midfielders in light of the Double Gameweek 29 announcement.

The former is the only Manchester City asset I would ordinarily feel comfortable predicting two starts in the space of a few days (providing he’s fit, in light of Wednesday’s news!), while Pépé has been in excellent form of late.

Over the last 10 matches, the only Arsenal player with more goals than the Ivory Coast international is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, while none of Pépé’s colleagues has more assists than him in that time.

West Ham’s presence at the wrong end of the table for defensive statistics, is why I’m more confident in an Arsenal double-up than a Manchester City one, the latter without Aymeric Laporte still, which could see Mikel Arteta’s side nick something at the Etihad Stadium.

Despite the 3-0 defeat at Watford, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané still make it into my selection this week as Bournemouth come to Anfield.

The Cherries lost both of their last away trips at Liverpool 3-0 and look just as vulnerable in the build-up to Gameweek 29. In their last four matches, Eddie Howe’s men have conceded more shots in the box than every Premier League side other than West Ham.

During that period, Salah is in the division’s top five for goal attempts in the penalty area and Mané has goals in three of his last four at Anfield.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin continues to tear up the Premier League, scoring more goals since Carlo Ancelotti took over at Everton than any other player. Chelsea continue to have issues defending at home, so I’m expecting the division’s form player to exploit that to his, and his owners’ advantage.

Finally, with Raúl Jiménez and Diogo Jota looking as good as each other right now, rather than agonise of which of them to chose, I’ve simply asked the question: ‘why not both?’

NEALE SAID…

I’m still digesting Tuesday’s Double Gameweek announcement and in something of a quandary as I consider the host of Fantasy options not just for the Scout Picks but also my own FPL squad.

Will Kevin De Bruyne be fit after the revelation about his shoulder injury? Can any other Manchester City outfielder guarantee us two starts in Gameweek 29? What does Sergio Aguero’s game-time at Sheffield Wednesday in midweek mean for his minutes over the coming week? And is any Arsenal player worthy of consideration apart from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang? I can see why some Fantasy managers are lukewarm about this mini-Double Gameweek.

Amid the clamour for Arsenal and City assets, it’s easy to overlook that Liverpool, as below-par as they have been of late, have arguably the best standalone fixture of Gameweek 29, with an improved but still porous Bournemouth side visiting Anfield on Saturday.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane cost a pretty penny and, with De Bruyne and Aubameyang well-backed by the panel, I’ve one eye on the budget when excluding the likes of Aguero and Nicolas Pepe.

Instead, I’ve plumped for Bukayo Saka. It’s easy to get carried away with his Fantasy potential, as he’s ultimately a left-back that doesn’t get clean sheet points and his three most-recent assists came from his only key passes of the last six Gameweeks; hardly sustainable, you’d think.

Still, a £4.6m-rated budget-freeing option who is often the fifth man in the Arsenal attack and who is potentially (Kieran Tierney’s fitness permitting) looking good for two starts in Gameweek 29 ought to be in the conversation.

My stubbornness knows no bounds as I plump for fixtures over form in the guise of Jamie Vardy, James Maddison and, perhaps to a lesser extent, Danny Ings.

We’re really in last-chance saloon territory with the two Leicester assets: the visit of an Aston Villa side who have shipped more goals than anyone else this season (no-one has kept fewer clean sheets, either) gives them little excuse not to deliver this time.

The Oli McBurnie pick perhaps needs a bit of elaboration.

Sheffield United’s burly striker, who has started six league matches in a row up top, has been posting some eye-catching numbers for the Blades.

When FPL assets are filtered by their last half-dozen appearances, McBurnie is joint-sixth for big chances and top for headed opportunities.

Only Arsenal have allowed more chances in the air than Norwich City, Sheffield United’s opponents this weekend, when clubs are sorted by their last six matches.

All five of my defenders could supplement clean sheets with attacking returns in plum home fixtures this weekend, while Bernd Leno tops my goalkeeping picks: the Arsenal shot-stopper, joint-second for saves made this season, has two clean sheets to his name in the last three Gamewees and will have ample opportunity to claim further save points at the Etihad.

PAUL SAID…

Ultimately, the set-up of our Scout Picks will be determined by the extent to which we invest in the Double Gameweek 29 sides.

While Kevin De Bruyne and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are, fitness-permitting, surely nailed on in the XI, the likes of Buyako Sako and Eddie Nketiah could justify their selection against West Ham alone.

Sako has belied his role as a left-back by providing an assist in each of Arsenal’s last three home league matches.

Nketiah, meanwhile, has started each of the Gunners’ last three domestic matches, scoring in back-to-back encounters with Everton and Portsmouth.

Both cost under £5.0m and, with ownerships under 3%, could be very handy differential enablers.

Wolves look like one of the strongest go-to options among the single-Gameweek sides.

Matt Doherty and Diogo Jota welcome Brighton on the back of successive double-digit returns, yet both are very much differentials and sit around 6% ownership.

No defender surpassed Doherty’s five shots in the box in the previous two Gameweeks, with the Irishman producing a goal or an assist in each of his last four in all competitions.

Six goals and an assist in his previous three in all competitions is enough to earn Jota the nod over his team-mate Raul Jimenez.

I expect Wolves to revert to a 3-5-2 formation against the Seagulls, allowing Adama Traore more time to fully recuperate from his ongoing shoulder complaint.

Marcos Alonso’s return to the Chelsea team-mate could also be worth our consideration.

Three goals in the last two Gameweeks have helped him to 24 points, despite the Blues conceding in both those matches.

Alonso fired produced 10 shots in that period, more than any other player in FPL.

Meanwhile, his six chances created were bettered by just three other players.

The Spaniard has produced attacking or defensive returns in all eight of his starts this season, yet sits in only 3% of squads.

GEOFF SAID…

Arsenal’s two fixtures in Gameweek 29 prompt a triple-up in my picks, as I look to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Nicolas Pepe and Bernd Leno. While the West Ham fixture should help these players to strong returns I can also see them performing well against a sometimes leaky Manchester City side that are without Aymeric Laporte.

City’s two matches look more difficult and, while they can score well against anyone, one or both of these games could be tight. I’ve opted for two instead of three City players with Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne looking, to me, the surest bets.

It’s rare for only two Liverpool players to make my picks, particularly with a favourable home match, but against Bournemouth, I’ve excluded Sadio Mane and instead opted for Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Matt Doherty has three attacking returns in the last two Gameweeks and three clean sheets in the last four, while Marcos Alonso has the attacking stats with three goals in the last two Gameweeks, coming close to scoring more.

While Doherty and Alonso provide attacking returns, I look at two cheaper options for my final two defensive picks in Caglar Soyuncu and Romain Saiss, who both have favourable home fixtures. My final two goalkeeper spots also go to players with strong home fixtures in Gameweek 29: Dean Henderson and Alex McCarthy.

I round out my picks with three mid-priced forward selections: Diogo Jota, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Danny Ings.

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.

In Gameweek 28, ZoumasBloomers lost 32-47 to our Scout Picks.

gwitbrock‘s winning margin of 23 points in Gameweek 25 is the target to beat.

Our Scout Picks article on Friday will have further details on who is representing the community this week.

    Optimal FH31 team?

    Pope
    TAA Doherty Aurier
    Salah Mané Alli Sarr
    Jimenez Jota

    7th attacker one of Deeney/Antonio/Bergwyn?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Having Sarr and Pope is a bit meh.

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Hope for a penalty save from Deeney

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 24 days ago

          Spurs assets also looking like traps now, even if only for one GW FH.

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Yes dont think there any other options worth considering.

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Pretty much - argument for a Watford defender perhaps

      Have 8 of those anyway without FH and option to get another. But pondering fielding ten and rolling FT to build for 34

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Absolutely save the FH if you can. Have only 4 of those players currently...

        1. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 24 days ago

          FH saved for sure. It’s whether I bother to field eleven by getting Deeney or Alli for instance.

          Problem with a maxed out 31 side is that only Wolves I think can have a DGW later. Suspect ten and rolling a FT is a more cunning plan

          1. Karan14
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 24 days ago

            Im just looking at 8 players for the same reason.

            1. pingissimus
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 24 days ago

              Sound enough I think.

              For me quite a lot depends on how good Liverpool assets are going to look in 34 and 37. If you have 3 Liverpool and KdB then it’s just 7 more you need to find.

              Current thinking is FH 34 and use FTs for 37. But may do it the other way if SU double in 34 by getting cheap defence for BB that week

    4. Sterling Archer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      starting to think maybe 8 players will be enough to cover and save the FH!

    5. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      I'd prefer Antonio in there ideally - he will eat spurs

  2. jg7u

    Surely save Free Hit for DGW?

    Can get in Sarr and one more attacker/defender.
    Think it'll be good enough?

    1. Strchld
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Yeo. Im going to have just 7 players out to gw31 and saving a FH.

      Certainly dont wildcard this week. You have good team for this week.

      Reassess next week.

  5. Champions League Varane

      I would stick, Captain Auba?

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Yep I am considering Salah at the moment though!

        What if Mané was out? Switch him to Sterling?

  6. farmerfat
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Anyone know which teams have a DGW in 34?

    1. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Potentially Chelsea, Man Utd, Sheff Utd, Villa, Norwich, Everton

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Yes but most of these teams are still in the FA Cup and would have to lose their FA Cup QF in 31 to have a chance of DGW34.

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      No mate.

      This question will be asked alot of times here over the next few weeks but im pretty sure no one can give you 100% correct info about it. Alot depends on what happens in QFs.

  7. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Which move is best here?

    B seems obvious but could leave me with 10 men with Aurier playing 120 last night and terrible back up. Vardy, KDB and Traore issues in both moves too.

    A. Lunds >> Doherty
    B. Vardy >> Aubameyang

    McCarthy
    Aurier / Trent / Soy
    Bruno F / Salah / KDB* / H. Barnes
    Jiménez / Vardy* / Ings
    (McGov, Traoré*, Lunds, Rico)

    1. Nutella
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      B, greatest points celing

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Maybe something like KDB & Ings to Sarr & Auba could work out if Vardy is fit and if it looks like KDB will miss a game.

      You certainly have to wait for the pressers.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Yeah, Can also do Vardy+Traore >> Auba+Sarr but would give all sorts of headaches

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      B and captain

  8. Cruz88
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Anyone with KDB and Auba still considering Salah as Captain?

    1. Chazz69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Absolutely NOT

      1. Cruz88
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Why not? Hat trick in the same fixture last season, single gameweek players often outscore doubles...

    2. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Only have Auba but yes considering for sure

    3. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Yes

  9. Joey Barton and Friends
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    To get Auba I would need to sacrifice Richarlson but seems a fair trade with Everton's fixtures?

    1. Volley127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Yep. Plus they blank in 31 now too after Norwich’s win

  10. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    After this GW- 7 players for 31 wIncluding Dendoncker 🙁
    Maximum can be 9 without hits.

    FH or No in 31 we reckon?
    If I decide to FH in 31, I may just bring in Pepe for Mane this GW for a -4.
    Pope.
    TAA, Saiss, Stephens.
    KDB (vc), Mane, Salah, Barnes.
    Ings, Jota Auba (c).
    Stek, Holgate, Dendoncker, Williams.
    0ft, 0.2mil.

    1. Strchld
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      You already have Auba and KdB for double and still can get 9 players out without hits.

      I dont have Auba, can just get 7 (have now only 4) players out GW31 without hits and not going to play a FH GW31.

      You will be more than fine with 9 players.

  11. Jones Kusi
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    What would you do here?
    Bring in Auba for Ings, skip Auba and get 1 more gw31 player or FH gw31

    1 FT 4.0 ITB
    McGovern Pope
    Lascelles Taa Robertson Soy Kelly
    Maddison Salah Kdb Trossard Cantwell
    Ings Iheanacho Jimenez

    1. pitstop1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Skip Auba and plan for 31 saving FH.

  12. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    IMHO, you can get away with triple up on Pool and Wolves only for GW31.

    Very slim pickings.

  13. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    None of the 'experts' picking Bruno vs a Laporte-less defence? When will people realise that form > fixture?

  14. Ruffio
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    So team is this:

    Pope

    Vvd. Trent. James. (Taylor. Soyuncu)

    Kdb. Traore. Salah. Martial. (Cantwel)

    Vardy. DCL. Delufeu.

    Thinking free hit this week as fairly well set up for 31?

    Any advice? Still have BB and WC

    Next 4 gw only best GK?

      Pope is the master of the universe fpl goalkeeper

  16. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Morning all is a total -8 hit too much for this upcoming DGW? Want Aubameyang!

    Already did these moves:
    Soyuncu + Ings > Doherty + Jota

    Want to do this;
    Vardy > Aubameyang (c)

    Yay or nay for a total -8?

    1. Joey Barton and Friends
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      It's the only GW so far where I can considering it. Although I think in your case getting Auba and Doherty should be enough

    2. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      -8 is too much imo

  17. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Maddison to Sarr or Firmino to Jimenez or both for a hit? (Also I'm not using FH in 31 so two more players will help a lot)

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      I meant Ings instead of Firmino

  18. FPL Daniel

    Went from 9/10 gw 31 players to 6/7 with Everton missing out.

    Seriously considering Wildcard today. I do not have Auba either.

    With a wildcard I can prepair good for GW 31 and still have a couple more good assets from this GW onswards (Auba, Doherty, Jota) I can get rid of niggles like Traore, Aurier, Rico, Ings, Cantwell. FH 34 and BB 37.

    My problem with this is that I have a pretty OK team for this week. Just that GW31 kicks me in the nuts. Maybe I should just FH that week instead. WC 34 and BB 37.. Decisions!

      With KDB a doubt, it does not make things easier!

      With all the uncertainties regarding the fixtures in GW34 and 37 I am personally holding my WC and using FH in 31.

    3. JT11fc

      4 years, 24 days ago

      Same problem for me. The thing i worry about with the gw29wc is how can we gaurantee that we will be able to use FTs to get a good gw34 or gw37 team? Doesnt seem very flexible to me

    4. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years

      I only have 4 as it stands and 7 if I use FTs to 31.
      If I had WC I’d definitely consider WCing today .

    Which teams are likely to have 2 double game weeks this season? (Not counting City's and Arsenal's dgw 29)

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      FA Cup 1/4 results will reveal all.

      1. Jullepuu
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        So the teams going trough will have 2? SHU has already 2 games waiting for rearangement so they should have 2 double game weeks?

    2. sunzip14

      Villa should have. Their 28 and 31 are blanks, so.

  22. FPL Daniel

    No KDB in my squad. 2FT What transfer to make:

    A: Richarlison to KDB and bank the second FT

    B: Ings and Traore out Aguero and Docoure (he has GW 31) in (exact cash can't go Sarr)

    C: Richarlison to Pepe and save the second FT

    I think this will go to the wire.

    Please advise.

    Thanks,

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      or D: Richarlison to Mahrez

      Mate, I don't know - very little context here. 1 I guess. When it comes to posts that are way too specific to your team surely you would know what is best for you!

      1. SHOWSTOPPERRR
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Thanks mate..but sometimes opinion from others also works out.

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years

      This is the problem with getting Aubamayang now if your not FHing in 31 and only have a few players for 31 already in place.

      Too many hits will cancel out any extra returns Aubamayang will get over his replacement.

      1. SHOWSTOPPERRR
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        It's the matter of -4 bro..If I do get get Auba an extra -4 will be needed. And I am keeping him in bgw also..Thanks for the reply anyway..

    3. Strchld
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Let me know what did u decide.
      Without hits I can get 7 players out and no Auba.

      1. SHOWSTOPPERRR
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Without hits and no auba I can Play 7 plus Rico

        1. Strchld
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 24 days ago

          Same, but I dont have Rico.

  24. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Which double transfer to get Aubamayang in?

    A) Perez,Ings > Saka, Aubamayang
    B) KDB,Ings > Mahrez,Aubamayang
    C) DCL,Ings > Martinelli,Aubamayang

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      I like A

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      A is probably safe

  25. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    (No KDB )

    If Mané was benched..

    Mané TO Sterling=-4?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      not for me

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Fair enough could be nice though

        1. Champions League Varane
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 24 days ago

          Especially if AWB is out for us

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Sterling blank 31.

      Mane plays 31.

      It is a simple no from my side.

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Appreciated thank you

    3. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      If he's benched yes. But there chances of that happening are very low I would assume.

      And its not like Minamino or Origi were good against Chelsea.

  26. balint84
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    -4 for Mahrez or Saka?

    1. istanbul05
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Mahrez

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Lol. Crazy.

      Mahrez has a much higher ceiling than Saka.

      Saka probably will feature in both matches though but Mahrez could very well too.

      1. balint84
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Mahrez means dropping KDB, Sako sacrifices Traore. Still?

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 24 days ago

          If you want to replace KDB, I would not replace him with another City asset 😉

          1. balint84
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 24 days ago

            Is Özil a better choice? Or let Fernandes in? (still -4)

  27. teneighty
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Digne + Vardy -> Alonso + Auba(C) for a hit. Madness or genius?

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Could work a treat.

  28. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Gleefully moved Captaincy from Vardy to KDB yesterday after seeing KDB's "rest" from the City lineup...

    Looks like back onto Vardy now who we have to take Brodge's word that he "should be ready" for Villa...

    Vardy > Auba (c) for FT still lurking in the shadows as an option given the ongoing delay in their price changes

  29. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen

    Morning all,

    Team for the GW...
    Henderson (Pope)

    A Vardy to Deeney

  30. Gunners in Haaland

    KDB/DCL -> Sarr/Aubameyang (-8)?

    Ryan
    TAA VVD Doherty Pereira
    Salah Bruno Sarr
    Aubameyang (C) Ings Jimenez

    Button Traore Lascelles Cantwell

    Y/N?

    1. xHaTr

      Only if KDB will definitely miss both DGW games, which I dont imagine will be announced
