Scout Squad

The Scout Squad picks for FPL Gameweek 38+

The Scout Squad panel return to champion the standout Fantasy Premier League assets for the final Gameweek of the season.

These picks always take the format of a ‘Free Hit’ for the very next Gameweek and this article is particularly relevant this week, with many managers still having this chip intact.

Just under a third of the top 10,000 in FPL still have their Free Hit to hand, to give some gauge of its usage.

Regular readers will know the format of this recurring feature but for the uninitiated, staff members David, Neale and Geoff and Pro Pundit Tom (sitting in for the otherwise engaged Paul) 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 Sunday’s deadline at 15:00 BST.

There are requirements for at least one goalkeeper costing £5.0m or less, at least one sub-£5.0m defender, 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 Sunday.

DAVID SAID…

Doubling up on the Burnley defence with Nick Pope and Erik Pieters feels like a relatively routine decision ahead of Gameweek 38+.

The Clarets’ goalkeeper has a shot at either sharing the Golden Glove award or claiming it for himself, and the whole team knows it. That was the message we got from Chris Wood after the Norwich game and they will do everything they can to help Pope keep that clean sheet.

I’ve also included Burnley’s penalty-taking centre-forward in my selection on account of his aerial presence. Over the last four matches, Brighton have given up 18 headed goal attempts, the second-worst in the Premier League.

I’ve also got another defensive double-up in Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson, not necessarily because I think the Liverpool back-line is in incredible shape, but because of the offensive threat on offer.

Their swashbuckling right-back is just five points away from breaking his left-sided colleague’s all-time record for most FPL points scored by a defender in one season, and retains a share of corners and direct free-kicks.

Meanwhile, Robertson has recently muscled his way into corner-taking contention and has created five big chances over the last four matches, the joint-highest of any player in the whole division.

Willy Boly gets a slightly left-field inclusion on account of Wolves’ recent defensive numbers and his potential to cause Chelsea problems. Over the last four matches, Nuno Espirito Santo’s men have conceded the fewest big chances while the Blues’ awful defending of set pieces could open the door for Boly to capitalise on recently improved penalty box presence.

Raheem Sterling is by far the best choice in midfield for Gameweek 38+. He is in exceptional form with four double-figure hauls in the last six matches and a say in the penalty conversation as he chases a 20-goal season. During that period, Norwich have conceded 14 times.

That’s why I’ve also included Riyad Mahrez and David Silva in my selection, who were both rested for the win over Norwich. The Algerian has produced attacking returns in all but one start since football came back while Silva, in his last Premier League match for Manchester City, could assume direct free-kick duties and even penalties. Across his last four starts at the Etihad Stadium, the Spaniard has three goals and three assists, averaging 10.5 points per game.

I am backing Mohamed Salah to end the season with a flourish. He has been exceptionally unlucky not to score in any of his last three matches, and over the last four, he ranks best in the league for shots in the box, big chances and shots on target. That is rather ominous ahead of a meeting with Newcastle, who have been hit with a nasty injury crisis in defence recently.

I really like the prospect of Harry Kane considering Crystal Palace’s own issues at the back. Over the last four, the Eagles have given up 13 big chances, with only Brighton conceding more in that time. Meanwhile, Spurs’ talismanic striker has double-figure hauls in each of his last two, scoring four goals since Gameweek 36+.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is another premium forward with a favourable fixture on the final day of the season. With the Golden Boot still just about within his grasp, the Arsenal forward faces a Watford side that has no choice but to go for broke at the Emirates Stadium. That should see Aubameyang find plenty of space behind a team that has conceded 11 goals across their last four matches.

NEALE SAID…

We could make a case for any number of Manchester City assets this week.

A clean sheet looks like a shoo-in for the Citizens’ defence, with opponents Norwich City having scored just one solitary goal since the restart.

As ever, though, we are hindered by a cap on how many of Pep Guardiola’s side we can plump for.

I’ll personally be overlooking the near-guarantee of six points from whoever lines up at the back, then, and rolling the dice on assets further forward.

Using the Free Hit chip or otherwise, many of us will be waiting until the last possible opportunity – and hoping for the odd bit of team news – to finalise our City triple-up.

With that caveat taken as a given, and with word awaited on whether any midweek jollies affects player availability, I’ve gone with Raheem Sterling, David Silva and Gabriel Jesus as my three for Gameweek 38+.

Silva is no mere sentimental pick; it’s the likelihood of a start after his non-involvement on Tuesday and the fact he’s averaged 10.5 points per match at the Etihad since the restart.

Sterling is now delivering on the excellent underlying numbers he has been posting all year, meanwhile. The winger averages more big chances per 90 minutes than any other FPL midfielder in 2019/20 and, finally, that is starting to be reflected in his Fantasy returns, with five double-digit hauls in the last eight Gameweeks.

Jesus hasn’t hit those heights but nevertheless has five attacking returns in his last four starts, is racking up some promising numbers and… well, it’s Norwich.

I’m wary about losing assets from Manchester United to fund moves for their cross-city rivals, however.

Having seen Leicester demolished by Spurs on the counter-attack in Gameweek 37+, and with United perfectly suited to playing on the break, there could be a whole lot of space for Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial to exploit against the Foxes’ ageing, patched-up defence – especially if Brendan Rodgers’ side are forced to go for all three points in their push for a Champions League qualification spot.

Another backline with similar problems, Crystal Palace’s, could have a 33-year-old stopper and an ‘out of position’ central midfielder up against Harry Kane on Sunday.

The Eagles haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last seven matches and have recorded only one shut-out against the current top ten this season.

Potent attack meets injury-ravaged defence on Tyneside, too, with Newcastle’s lack of fit centre-halves and vulnerability to aerial balls leading me to a double-up of serial assister Trent Alexander-Arnold and the midfielder who has registered the second-highest-number of headed chances this season, Sadio Mane.

I’m hedging my bets on Bournemouth and Watford heads dropping with my budget selections of Jarrad Branthwaite, Emiliano Martinez and Eddie Nketiah, but my Mark Noble pick requires a bit more explanation.

In an ideal world, I’d include Michail Antonio and his incredible underlying stats – but with budgetary requirements placed on me for my fifth midfielder, who has to cost less than £6.5m, I’ve had to look elsewhere.

Jarrod Bowen is someone I really like but is currently flagged, so it was a toss-up between Tomas Soucek – a revelatory January signing who has caught the eye at set plays – and Mark Noble as my West Ham representative.

In end, and throwing caution to the wind as it’s Gameweek 38+, I’ve gone with Noble.

Since his return to the West Ham starting XI in Gameweek 35+, he has chiefly operated in an advanced midfield role ahead of Soucek and Declan Rice.

He has posted some bonkers numbers while doing so: Noble has created more chances than any other Premier League player over the last three Gameweeks, but hasn’t had a single shot.

Here’s hoping the goals rain down on the final weekend, then, at least everywhere apart from Turf Moor, where I’ve gone with four defensive assets from Burnley and Brighton for what I hope will be a dour a match as it seems on paper.

TOM SAID…

Nick Pope is the standout goalkeeper pick for the final Gameweek, in my opinion. He’ll earn at least a share of the Golden Glove award if he keeps his 16th clean sheet of the season against Brighton, who have scored just two goals in three away trips since the restart.

I also like Hugo Lloris, who is in excellent form. In the five matches since Tottenham’s defeat at Sheffield United, they’ve kept three clean sheets and only conceded twice, while their opponents Crystal Palace have lost seven in a row and rank in the bottom three for xG during that run.

If funds are a bit tighter, which may be the case for those on a Free Hit who are looking to field a number of big hitters, Emiliano Martinez looks to be the best of the budget options.

In defence, it’s hard to look past Trent Alexander-Arnold. His assist for Roberto Firmino’s goal against Chelsea was his 13th of the season, which broke his own record for most assists by a defender in a single league campaign. It’s also worth noting that his opponents at the weekend, Newcastle, have given up more headed attempts than any other side since the restart. With Alexander-Arnold’s crossing ability and share of set-pieces, you’d expect him to capitalise.

A tactical switch by Carlo Ancelotti on Monday night, which saw Everton move away from their usual 4-4-2 to a 4-2-3-1, heralded a much-improved performance, and as a result, Lucas Digne is back on my radar. Seven of his eight assists this season have arrived at Goodison Park, and with Bournemouth needing to attack, there should be plenty of space for him to exploit.

He’s joined by Serge Aurier, Erik Pieters, who is the cheapest route into Burnley’s backline, and Kyle Walker-Peters.

Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne are the two key FPL midfielders at Man City, who are both chasing down individual records. Winger Sterling looks hungry to take his Premier League goal tally to 20, and has registered four double-digit hauls in his last six outings. De Bruyne, meanwhile, is just one assist away from Thierry Henry’s record of 20 in a single campaign. Both players could bring in huge hauls against relegated Norwich this weekend, in what is the Gameweek’s must-target fixture.

I also like Mohamed Salah, who will be up against a depleted Newcastle backline who rank 20th for expected goals conceded since the restart, and Michail Antonio. Despite Aston Villa tightening up, Antonio’s numbers are simply too good to ignore: he’s averaging 8.3 points per game since the season resumed and sits top for shots, shots in the box, big chances and expected goal involvement.

The final midfield spot is reserved for budget option Daniel Podence, who marked his third successive start against Crystal Palace with his first goal for Wolves, and looks a real talent.

Up top, I’ve gone for Gabriel Jesus, who leads the way amongst forwards for shots and shots in the box since the restart. Even if his minutes are managed, I have a feeling he’ll be heavily involved once again.

I also like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. No team has given up as many big chances as manager-less Watford recently, and with their right side looking vulnerable, and the fact they’ll have to commit bodies forward to attack, I see more joy in front of goal for the Gabonese forward on Sunday.

Now, I’ve also included Harry Kane, despite a few concerns about Spurs, who have often struggled this season when the onus is on them to take the game to their opponents – remember Bournemouth and Sheffield United? However, Kane is bang in form, and his inclusion is as much about his opponents Crystal Palace, who have injuries to several key players and have now conceded 17 goals in their last seven games.

The forward list is completed by another Golden Boot contender, Danny Ings, and Chris Wood. Ings has been so clinical in recent weeks, whilst Wood again looks like a decent option. He’s now scored in back-to-back Gameweeks and is at home to a Brighton side who have conceded plenty of attempts from set-pieces over the last few weeks.

GEOFF SAID…

Burnley look set to help Nick Pope to a Gameweek 38+ clean sheet, so I’ve paired my number one goalkeeper with Erik Pieters. Emiliano Martinez will likely be, once again, an important part of any Arsenal victory and I back him to be part of the Watford relegation story.

There look to be many good picks this Gameweek and budget will certainly be an issue. Trent Alexander-Arnold is still my first-choice defender, followed by Lucas Digne with his strong home form. I circle back to Liverpool’s Andrew Robertson for an expensive top three, before considering Serge Aurier.

It’s in midfield that the difficult decisions really begin. Raheem Sterling, Mohamed Salah, Anthony Martial and Michail Antonio are four of my top picks this Gameweek, among a long and competitive list. For the sake of balance, I include Phil Foden, though there are a number of more expensive options who are unfortunate to miss out.

Gabriel Jesus leads the forward line, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Harry Kane providing able back-up. Danny Ings will be looking to finish the season well and Chris Wood could profit if his team are as motivated for Gameweek 38+ as I think they could be.

My final pick of the season is my third goalkeeper spot and I look to David De Gea. While United have looked tired they do have a decent, recent away clean sheet record, even if they did face obliging opposition. Gameweek 38+ is time for a punt and this certainly qualifies – but with United knowing a draw will suffice, a canny counter-attacking game could result in a low-scoring win and a rare full set of De Gea bonus points.

    Which of these would you prefer for the final week?

    A) Trent + Bruno
    B) Aurier + Auba

    1. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      b

    2. rohan
      • 12 Years

      A. Just

    3. Jhowells9
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I’d side with b just because Trents minutes could be limited as he might give that Williams some game time. Also United Leicester only have to draw, so attacking returns could be limited. Aubameyang is going to be chasing the golden boot and Watford also need a win so could be open at the back

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        All valid points.

        Some obvious counters to this though:
        - If Trent goes off early, maybe he bags a clean sheet
        - Leicester will be playing to win. can't rely on a draw
        - Arsenal have nothing to play for
        - Watford have to keep their goal difference down, whatever happens

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Watford don’t look capable of keeping the score down, though.

          Auba needs a hattrick to get level with Vardy. Something he’s more than capable of doing.

    4. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A for me.

    5. Bushman
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B for me, particularly if you have Martial, Rashford or Greenwood. Although I would rather Kane than Auba

  2. Jhowells9
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I have a triple captain to play, it needs to be a differential to those above me. Need to make around 20 points, I know it’s an ask, but I was thinking of potentially Richarlison as Bournemouth are going to have to go all guns blazing surely? Any thoughts?

    1. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I have captained Richarlison in the last and every time he has blanked. Are you on a FH?

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        *past

        1. Jhowells9
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          No free hit just triple captain to play. I always leave it until the last day. It’s never lived up to the heights of the giroud hat trick 3 seasons ago against villa though

    2. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Ignore my question about the FH, of course you’re not

    3. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I’ll start again (deep breath) - can you post your team?

      1. Jhowells9
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Patricio
        Pieter AWB Gomez
        Salah Bruno Pulisic sterling
        Wood jiminez greenwood

        Got 5.4 in the bank. Was looking at dai silva Richarlison and auba. But open to suggestions

        1. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Wood to Kane? I would captain Sterling though, if he goes mental you will make up a big chunk of the 20 pt deficit.

          1. Jhowells9
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I honestly hadn’t thought of wood to Kane. What put me off taking wood out, is that jiminez had his baby this week, and we all know what happened to vardy when he had his. So was looking at taking jiminez out if I were to take a striker out

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Why? Just TC Sterling. If he scores a hat-trick. Bang, you're ahead even if your rival also has him.

    5. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Have him in my fh but not captain.

    6. Bushman
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I would TC Sterling but Salah will likely be less captained. Jimi to Kane looks a good shout. He is a captain candidate too

  3. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Really hope tinkerman Pep gives KDB a game. Triple captain against Norwich

    1. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Who else are your candidates?

  4. payetisgod
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Bottomed on last page so reposting

    Hi All,
    Which combo
    Antonio + Jesus
    Kane + Doherty

    I know one has a def the other midfielder but planning the use of my 2 frees.

    Thanks

    1. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I’d take Antonio and Jesus

    2. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Antonio & Jesus.

    3. payetisgod
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      many thanks both! that move involves getting rid of both jimi and doherty (to fund jesus) advisable?

      1. Bushman
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Look like good moves.

  5. Wensink
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Mings or Egan? Leaning Mings as I have Ings (who plays v Sheffield).

    1. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Mings they seem to have improved a bit at the back and will be fighting for their lives.

    2. JELLYFISH
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Smith has confirmed Elmo won’t play v hammers so Guilbert could be a decent differential option. Looked really solid when he came on in the Arsenal game

  6. Bucket Man
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Trying to keep in the top 10k.

    Martial or Fernandes to D.Silva or Salah to Sterling?

    1. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'd keep Martial and Salah, personally. Bruno to Dilva if you have to.

      1. Bucket Man
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks. Bruno ownership concerns me but Martial looks in better form and Rashfords turn for penalty I think.

    2. payetisgod
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Have you got any City coverage? I think Fernades has looked a bit so so last few games... trying lots of fancy passess which arent working etc. So id be tempted by the Fernades to D Silva move as hes prob first name on the team sheet this GW.

      If you've got KDB id be tempted to leave though. Then again im 70k ha go with your gut be my advice!

      Thanks for coming back on my comment above, thats where i was leaning!

      1. Bucket Man
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        No problem.

        Losing Salah seems a bit silly Captain may be him. I’ve got KDB and Foden who I expect to get benched but may play him as 30 mins could be gold against Norwich. Two of you have said Fernandes to Silva now so that looks the way to go and where I was leaning. Thank you both.

  7. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    A) Son, Robo, Greenwood
    B) Antonio, TAA, Wood

    1. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Very tight I like A for this week.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Is indeed mate, think I’m in agreement

        1. Bucket Man
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Agree tho below Antonio could haul as well very unpredictable.

    2. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A, but I think Antonio's in for one against Villa.

    3. Heisenberg W. W.
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B

  8. Tsssst
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Salah and Foden > Son and Mahrez worth a hit?

    1. payetisgod
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'd never take a hit if it includes gettin mahrez in! Peps comments on using this game for the madrid game concerns me as i think B Silva is the better fit for that game due to his work rate. Wouldnt be shocked if mahrez doesnt start!

  9. Johnjo
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Currently have KDB, Mahrez and foden. 1ft +4million itb. Planning on foden to DSilva. Should I also do KDB to sterling for - 4 or stick with kdb?

    1. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I’d stick with KDB personally.

  10. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I honestly think Ings will score so which two defenders do I start?

    A) Basham and Egan

    B) Saiss and Egan

  11. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    No Free Transfers left & only Giroud on the bench - what are the odds this XI make it out onto the pitch??

    Pope,
    TAA, Aurier, Saiss
    KDB, Sterling, Bruno, Martial, Dilva (TC)
    Rashford, Jimmy
    (Martin, Giroud, Lundstram, Taylor)

    1. Jo Melon
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I like it

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Seems likely. Saiss is the only question mark imo.

  12. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    A) Walker / Fernandes / Wood + 4 points [no real bench if Walker rested]

    or

    B) Pieters / D Silva / Jimenez

  13. POLSKA GOLA
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I feel that format for those picks should change next season with reducing forward picks to 4 and increasing midfielders to 6.
    Most of us play 3-4-3 or even 3-5-2. There is absolutwly no need for 5 forward picks and more focus should be on the mids

  14. Champions united

    Any advice here? 2FT, 0.5 ITB. Playing BB. Trying to decide if i should upgrade starting 11 or if it's best to maximize the BB with a strong bench. Trying to protect 50pt lead in mini league.

    No Sterling is concerning me - have 3 city (Dilva, KdB and Jesus) would have to take a -8 to get in Sterling. Have a 17 point lead to second place in cash league.

    Go for broke?

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I did exactly did this with a lead of 11. Dropped Jesus to get him.

    If you had to lose one of Martial, Bruno, Pulisic, Antonio to accommodate a City mid (already have Sterling, and will be getting in KdB/Mahrez/DSilva depending on team leaks), who would it be?

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Pulisic

    2. Taff1952

      Bruno

  24. puffingannet

    A. Trezeguet & Ings or B. Martial & Greenwood. Already have Fernandes.

    Currently chasing and my opponent will use FH so I need to gamble a bit.

    Would you do:
    A) Foden to D. Silva
    B) Sterling and Rashford to Salah and Kane
    C) Rashford to Kane

    Or something else?

    Current team:
    Martinez - 3,9
    TAA - Pieters - Tarkowski - Aurier - Doherthy
    Sterling - Bruno - KdB - Foden - Pulisic
    Rashford - Ings - Greenwood
    2,7 ITB and will consider one hit.

        Thanks. That's my initially planned transfer and might do just that.

    Any chance that Jesus will not start? Just wondering whether to TC him that’s alll

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think he’ll start.

    Is KDB, Sterling, Dilva too risky for city?
    Can they all haul?

    1. Exeterslowly
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No that is a good shout

  28. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years

    Who is more likely to haul?

    A) Salah

    B) Auba

    Need to free up 0.2m right now. Best move?

    A) Trent -> Robbo
    B) Bruno -> Martial

    Vardy and Bruno to Auba and Dilva for -4?

    1. Mr Imp
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'm probably doing similar with Bruno and Vardy to Dilva and Kane for -4, so sounds good to me. Prefer Kane over Auba if funds allow.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Auba closer to golden boot than Kane and Watford look shocking.

        1. Mr Imp
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          There are arguments either way. Kane is against a Palace team that has nothing to play for, has lost 7 in a row and conceded 17 in the last 7.

          Both will score well this weekend I expect.

            Yeah, been trolled too many times by Spurs players, though.
