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.

      Not for me. The former could easily outscore the latter, even without the hit! Just captain Salah

          Aguero has a very good record against Manchester United and arsenal. He loves scoring against them

    Absolutely hating this situation - mane rotation risk and KDB doubtful. Could easily have a good team without Mane.

        Yep, time to fly!

          Looking great my man! Can easily navigate 31 and well set-up for 34. Big yes from me

    2. OverTinker

      Looking good.

    3. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years

      Won't have Henderson on wc. Dubravka a better pick

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        What makes you say that? Sheffield will have 2 doubles. Contemplating Lascelles rather than doubling their defence though

        1. Stormbringer22
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 24 days ago

          I would definitely keep Hendo. Lascelles a good shout

        2. The Overthinker
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 24 days ago

          Sheffield will have 2 doubles, but hendo will have only 1

          Also Sheffield have not been that great at the back lately .

          Also, Newcastle will have a lot of 0-0 score till the end. And that gives dubravka a chance for bonus and maybe save points

          1. IRBOX ⚽
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 24 days ago

            True he can’t play against his parent club, however, Newcastle defence hasn’t exactly looked assured and they play City away in 34

            1. The Overthinker
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 24 days ago

              How about going with 2 of their defenders and going with leno?

              1. IRBOX ⚽
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 24 days ago

                Considering this! Cheers mate

        3. jia you
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 24 days ago

          Henderson will only have one DGW

          1. IRBOX ⚽
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 24 days ago

            True. Leno is tempting!

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

          Henderson can’t play Man United .So one of their doubles Hendo can only play in one.
          That wouldn’t stop me from getting him though.
          Nice team.

    4. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Very nice.

        4 years, 24 days ago

        Yep, time to be aggressive. I was going to fumble my way into 31 but that relied on Everton playing and Cantwell. I want my wildcard to benefit me over 10 weeks and not only 4-5. The points I would have missed out on leading up to 34 not worth waiting

      Interesting. I was sure you would wait for the fixtures to be announced for the later gws. Looks good. Not crazy about Gomez but he serves a purpose I suppose.

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Arguably the best value asset in the game. Not really keen on spending all the budget on their defence with champs league and no doubles!

        1. Threat Level Midnight
          • 5 Years

          Interesting logic

  4. Gunner1290

    What combination scores most points this week:

    A) Saka Vardy
    B) Pepe Soyoncu

  5. Silecro

    Of course bottomed..
    Morning fellas, advise me please, do I go FH31 route here? Only 3 players for GW31 as of now. Chips left: WC, FH, BB.

    Ryan
    Trent/Soy/Stephens
    Mane/Salah/KDB/Maddison
    Vardy/Ings/DCL

    Bench: Button, Lascelles, Williams, Hayden

    0 ft, 0.2 itb

    If i go FH31, then i would bring auba this GW

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      I would FH since without taking any hits you would be able to field 6 at best.

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

        Makes sense, if DCL were available for gw31, then i would reconsider, but now i think its just not worth it

    2. NOMONEY
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      in your case FH31 probably makes sense

    3. The Overthinker

      Free hit 31. Use week 30 to get rid of Ryan.

  6. Dr Van Nostrand
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Right transfers sorted until WC in 33. Auba, Jimmy, Ali and then Pepe. Only 7 for 31 but will have to do.

    Do we know when the cancelled fixtures will likely be announced?

  7. Lukakuna
    • 7 Years

    To what extent are you tearing up your team for the double? Is it worth it taking hits and selling decent players to get Auba in?

    1. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years

      Going with only 1 dgw player

      There must be a reason why KDB did not start vs Villa perhaps?

    1. The Knights Template

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Antonio would be my first choice. Exactly his type of game. Not fussed about spurs but one of Alli or Bergwijn probably.

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Thanks all

  14. Whats the Huth
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    I’ve tried a wildcard team several times. And I have to rip my team up just to fit in Auba. I don’t feel like it’s worth it. I think I’m just going with KDB and maybe Saka

    I’m incredibly stubborn with Vardy. Which will probably be my downfall.
    Surely Vardy scores this week!

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years

      Surely Vardy plays this week!!

      I have held Vardy for past few weeks hoping the party would start again. Hopefully this week it does. Fingers crossed for us owners.

    Do we know when the postponed fixtures are likely to be announced?

      After the FA cup ties are played

    Currently has Vardy at the moment but tempted by Auba's DGW 29. No matter who I get, I will be shipping the player out since they both blank on GW 31. Who will get more points in the coming 2 GWs?

    A) Vardy: Villa (H), Watford (A)
    B) Auba: West Ham (H), City (A), Brighton (A)

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Will vardy even play .

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

      Gotta be auba

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

      Factor in form. Auba easy.

    4. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      I’d like to think Vardy.

        Burn only because I’m biased and stubborn

    Morning

    Vardy & Mane > KDB/Pepe

    Yay or Nay??

    1. aircraft1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Sorry my bad

      Vardy & Mane > Auba & KDB/Pepe

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Vardy and mane to Aguero and pepe possible?

        1. aircraft1
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 24 days ago

          Yes possible. Just think Auba is nailed for DGW and Kun not.

          1. The Overthinker
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 24 days ago

            Striker should not just start, but score goals.

            Arsenal struggle against city. Have only scored 1 goal in last 3-4 matches.

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

      A striker to a midfielder?

  18. Zanainem
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    My team atm is really bad... Im thinking about WC this week because of it or MB TC. I still have all chips avalaible.

    Ramsdale Button
    TAA Soyuncu Baldock Stephens Morgan
    Salah Mane Cantwell Fernandes Dendocker
    Vardy Wilson Jota

    Thinking about -4 Vardy for Aubameyang AND possible TC
    Or about WC? My team looks sh*t atm.

    Any suggestions? Thanks

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

      what chips do you have left

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

        All! 🙂

    2. Zanainem
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Also we have DG.. I could put 2 players for city and 2 for Arsenal and combine a good team for the rest of the league

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

    Just so I can join in this is my current gw31 team.

    Robbo TAA
    Dendoncker Salah
    Jimenez

    FH or not? 🙂

    1. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Good team for 5 a side match

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

        It is actually - Dendoncker as a sweeper. I have no gk but as a Mat Ryan owner that's nothing new

  20. Lazaretti
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Traore seems to be long lasting injury doubt. Would you transfer him to Gundogan for a hit. most likely navigating GW31 with FTs

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

    Özil a for a hit?

    1. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      he's not a viable FPL option

  22. Kszaq
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Thinking of selling Traore to Saka for -4 (hope it will be at last -1 with double) just to make some space for Jota and Doherty for GW31... Seems that Traore is now the weakest point of strong Wolves side... In that case I will play only 8 players but having Doherty instead of Traore is better chance to get some pionts I guess...

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

      Sounds good. Especially if KDB out I am considering Gundogan as Traore replacement.

  23. jia you
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    I really hope KdB is not confirmed out...the more differential Pepe is for me the better!

    1. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      He will start the arsenal game I reckon

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Yeah, think he will plus he's the hardest sell on the game atm closely followed by Trent!

  24. ludaslol
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Pope
    Doherty TAA Egan
    Barnes/Saka KDB Bruno Salah
    Ings Firmino Jimenez

    Button, Saka, Williams, Lascelles

    A) Save FT
    B) Ings > Jota
    C) Firmino > Auba (C)

    I'm going to save FH for 34 probably.

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

      1 FT. 1,8 itb

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

    A couple of ticklish ones here

    Pope
    TAA Pereira
    Mo Mane KdB Sarr
    Jota Jim

    A Taylor or Kiko
    B Ings or Bruno

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

      Cathcart is more nailed I think.

      Bruno definitely.

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

        Ty

        Don’t see Kiko losing out - first cs for ages coincided with his return. He might yet turn out to be a WC21 triumph 🙂

  26. The Left Duke #3
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    1 FT 1.2m ITB

    I just realised I am 0.1m off doing Vardy --> Aubameyang

    Guaita McCarthy
    TAA Robbo Soyuncu Pereira Rico
    Salah KDB Grealish Traore Noble
    Vardy Ings Martinelli

    Should I still do it for a -4 hit by downgrading Martinelli to Nketiah???

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

    Are we ready for back to back hatricks from Kun? It's that time of the year 😉

    1. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Only player I am worried about not owning

  28. jerseyboy
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Bruno Fernandes to Mahrez for a -4? Worth it (I'm already on a -8...)?

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

      big no from me

    2. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      That's a no.

  29. GoonerByron
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Best option for 5th mid to play in GW31 - Westwood or Doucoure?

  30. zm82
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    I was thinking of replacing Aguero and Aurier with Aubameyang and Doherty before the double GW 29 was announced. Now I am not sure about it, does it make sense to spend a transfer on Aguero to Aubameyang? The problem is I want Doherty and cannot make a straight swap to get him. This is the squad:
    Ramsdale, McGovern;
    TAA, Aurier, Jack Stephens, Lundstram, Simpson;
    Salah, KDB, Martial, Traore, Fleck;
    Aguero, Jimenez, Ings.

    1m in the bank. I don't like the team but have 2 FTs to use, which is the main reason not to wildcard this week.
