The Scout Squad picks for FPL Gameweek 2

This weekly precursor to the Scout Picks sees our panel put forward a long-list of the standout Fantasy Premier League assets for Gameweek 2.

Fantasy Football Scout community manager Geoff, deputy editor Neale, video content manager Andy and Pro Pundit Tom will 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 £83m) for the weekly Scout Picks selection ahead of Saturday’s deadline at 11:00 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 Friday.

Most popular picks: Lucas Digne, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (four), Kasper Schmeichel, Illan Meslier, Luke Ayling, James Justin, James Rodriguez, Richarlison, Ollie Watkins, Callum Wilson, Jamie Vardy, Anthony Martial (three)

GEOFF SAID…

While Jordan Pickford’s price tag is half a million more than Illan Meslier, I trust Carlo Ancelotti’s new-look Everton to keep a Gameweek 2 clean sheet more and hand Pickford the gloves. Kasper Schmeichel looks set for another shut-out at home to a shot-shy West Brom but is expensive at £5.5m.

In defence, I again look to Everton with Lucas Digne, who has significant attacking threat as well as clean sheet potential. I expect Luke Shaw to start and his additional threat down the left flank should add much to the Manchester United attack. Matt Targett, James Justin and Luke Ayling are picked mostly for their clean sheet potential and their excellent value, to allow more money to be spent further up the pitch.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has penalties, a strong fixture, some form, and is possibly the stand-out captain this Gameweek; however, I see Marcus Rashford challenging him for the captaincy, in United’s first game of the season at home to Crystal Palace.

The perhaps surprise omission is Mohamed Salah, after his Gameweek 1 heroics – instead, I’ve opted for Raheem Sterling.

James Rodriguez is my third Everton player, after an impressive Everton performance and a good degree of attacking involvement, while Leandro Trossard looks an interesting prospect at only £6.0m, away to Newcastle.

In attack, Anthony Martial looks capable of a big score; even if he fails to hit double digits, I expect returns of some kind.

Jamie Vardy started the season in style and has every chance of continuing that run, while Harry Kane, at half a million more, needs to lead his Tottenham teammates to victory after an uninspired performance at home to Everton.

Callum Wilson and Newcastle looked to be finding some rhythm at West Ham, and I expect him to score against Brighton, while Patrick Bamford, just off finding the net against Liverpool, should be allowed even more space against Fulham.

NEALE SAID…

We have a full complement of fixtures to choose from this weekend, following an eight-game Blank Gameweek 1.

Manchester City get their Premier League campaign underway but I’m holding fire on their assets for now, what with last season’s bogey team and a defensively resolute Wolverhampton Wanderers providing the opposition on Monday night.

I’m willing to back their cross-city rivals from the off, however, with Marcus Rashford and Luke Shaw – who both featured in last Saturday’s friendly with Aston Villa to provide reassurances over their fitness – getting the nod.

Shaw’s included as much for budgetary reasons given my lavish spending elsewhere, while Rashford played a part in both United goals when the two sides met as recently as July.

The Season Ticker might scream ‘difficult fixture’ for Liverpool and Chelsea but, as we saw in Gameweek 37+ of last season, there could still be plenty of joy for the attacking assets of each club when they meet again at Stamford Bridge this weekend.

The high line that Liverpool employed in their 4-3 win over Leeds United looks tailor-made for the rapid Timo Werner to exploit, while Chelsea continue to appear shaky when defending set plays, so Trent Alexander-Arnold remains in my thoughts – even if Andrew Robertson is now sharing the dead-ball duties.

A dangerously high line is also something an under-par Southampton have tried out in their first two games in league and cup, so I’m willing to give Son Heung-min another shot, as the Korean is capable of being destructive when Spurs transition quickly and by-pass the midfield by utilising their ball-playing centre-halves.

The Everton triple-up requires little explanation given how anaemic West Brom were on their Premier League return, with the chances they afforded left-winger Harvey Barnes further influencing my decision to make Richarlison my top forward selection.

The two other promoted clubs, Leeds and Fulham, meet at Elland Road and the Whites looked by some distance the pick of the two on the opening weekend.

Jack Harrison really caught my eye from the left flank at Anfield, while it’s almost a coin toss between Stuart Dallas and Luke Ayling for which Leeds full-back I plump for until I’ve seen more of them in action – the versatile Dallas boasted the better underlying stats last season but of course spent some of his time further up the pitch.

Newcastle and Brighton didn’t manage a single goal between them in their two meetings last season, so there is every a chance of a clean sheet or two on Tyneside this Sunday.

Callum Wilson has proven to be a streaky player in the past, however, and the fact that he and Andy Carroll managed eight shots between them in Gameweek 1 does suggest that the Magpies might have more joy than their Joelinton-led attack in 2019/20.

TOM SAID…

A clean sheet looks like a shoo-in for Manchester United this week, with opponents Crystal Palace failing to find the back of the net in any of their last four road trips. With Aaron Wan-Bissaka only returning to training on Monday, I’ve opted for the security of Harry Maguire, who at least featured in last weekend’s friendly at Aston Villa.

Leicester City and Leeds United’s home fixtures also stand out defensively, which is why I’ve put forward Kasper Schmeichel, James Justin, Illan Meslier and Luke Ayling.

Against West Bromwich Albion, Justin struggled in the first half but improved as the game went on, and showed plenty of adventure on the ball winning the second penalty, while Leeds’s defence isn’t being talked about enough. You have to go back to the 2015/16 Championship season to find a promoted team who came up with a better defensive record, and that includes Sheffield United and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

I’ve also included Hector Bellerín, who is an intriguing pick. Arsenal’s average position map against Fulham in Gameweek 1 showed that Bellerín was essentially playing as a right-winger, with Willian performing more of a central role. It resulted in Bellerín having the highest number of final third touches and crosses in the game, which is something to keep an eye on moving forward. He also comes in cheaper than teammate Kieran Tierney, whose appeal is dented due to not knowing if he’ll start as a left-sided centre-back or wing-back. 

They’re joined by Aston Villa’s new keeper Emiliano Martínez and Lucas Digne (more on him later) at the back.

Further forward, the inclusion of heavy-hitters Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Bruno Fernandes, Kevin De Bruyne, Anthony Martial and Jamie Vardy largely speak for themselves, so I’ll dedicate a bit more time to some of my other selections.

Against Tottenham Hotspur, Everton fully deserved their win and looked sharp. James Rodríguez was a class above, tucking in from the right-wing, which enabled him to regularly move the ball onto his stronger left foot and pick out Richarlison and Digne with those long right-to-left passes. Both will benefit from his brilliance, which is a key reason behind my Toffees selections.

I’ve also included Patrick Bamford. While sometimes wasteful, I’m confident he’ll get chances against Fulham, and following his performance at Anfield, should have earned another start.

The offensive list is completed by Ryan Fraser and Ollie Watkins.

ANDY SAID…

Despite conceding four goals in their opening game, I’m still backing Leeds United for a clean sheet this week, which is why both Illan Meslier and Luke Ayling are in my picks.

Looking at the expected goals conceded without penalties it was 0.9 for Leeds, the same as Everton against Tottenham Hotspur and Wolves against Sheffield United. You can’t just discount penalties, of course, but after a tough test in the opening Gameweek, I’m expecting them to bounce back against Fulham.

I was impressed with Everton’s opening Gameweek and with a home game against West Brom, I’ve gone with the triple-up. It was promising to see Lucas Digne retain some set pieces, even with James Rodríguez in the side. It was a free-kick that ultimately saw him get an assist. I’d hope that without a marauding full-back like Matt Doherty to play against, he may get more licence to go forward.

In attack, it also looks like there could be big points potential with Rodríguez already creating five chances for his teammates. Despite not getting a goal it was Richarlison that really impressed me in attack with seven shots, and five of them in the box. If anyone is ready to explode soon, it’s him.

Ollie Wakins was a signing that Aston Villa fans were extremely excited about and rightly so after being just one goal behind Aleksandar Mitrović in the Championship last season. He’s already off the mark in pre-season, and the biggest draw for me is the fact he has Jack Grealish behind him creating chances. I don’t think Sheffield United will be as tight at the back without Dean Henderson and this could be a perfect opportunity to get a debut Premier League goal.

There’s probably no better time to use the eye test than in the opening Gameweeks. Underlying statistics are still great, but we’re working off small sample sizes. One thing I want to see is how sharp a player looks. We saw it with Mohamed Salah against Leeds, and we saw it with Callum Wilson against West Ham. It will be a tougher test against Brighton, but with a debut goal in Gameweek 1, why not top it off with a debut goal at St James’ Park too.

As we get closer to Gameweek 2, I’m wavering on my viewpoint that without as many penalties, Bruno Fernandes *might* not be worth £10.5m – at least not as a season-keeper as he was last year when he arrived at Old Trafford. We saw how devastating it can be with Jamie Vardy and Salah in Gameweek 1, and with 14 and 12 penalties over the last two seasons, targeting the Manchester United penalty-taker probably isn’t a bad tactic.

THE COMMUNITY CHAMPION

    Wildcarded as I had Nketiah, Havetz, triple Saints, ASM and felt my team was terrible and about to lose value.

    How does this look?

    Ryan (Steer)
    TAA, Justin, Ayling (Mitchell, Ferguson)
    Salah, Aube, Bruno, Podence (Bissouma)
    Martial, DCL, Wilson

    Not sure if I should switch Podence for either Harrsion or Klich?

    1. Drogba Legend
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Podence definitely a rotation risk in my opinion but will probably see another start or two based on GW1 assist. Rest should be fine.

      1. Addick
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Sounds good, thanks

  3. sunzip14

    Martinez to start at Villa straight away? Any point in starting Steer over McCarthy for GW2?

    1. Flaming Flamingo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No, I'd play McCarthy to be safe

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        The thing is mate if he starts Steer and he doesn't play McCarthy will autosub in

        1. Flaming Flamingo
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I get that, but I highly doubt he will start. That would mean the only way he'd come in would be if Martinez got injured or sent off, in which case it's an unnecessary risk to start him albeit a very small one

          1. iL PiStOlErO
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            The biggest problem actually is that AV wont keep cs.

    2. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, I’m doing it.? Nothing to lose really

    3. LSK
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Might as well. Surely he won’t come on as a sub? McCarthy has as much chance being subbed off as Steer has of being subbed on due to injury etc.

    4. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      You know how it works if you play steer. Martinez will get benched. Steer will start and concede. McCarthy will keep a clean sheet, save a penalty and Max out on baps

    5. I Member
      • 8 Years

      I'm doing it.

    3. Silver_and_Gold
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Isn't it tempting for you to switch TAA for Digne and spend 1,5 elsewhere? Digne's next 3 fixtures are tempting (WBA, cry, BHA) and if Pool defence clicks you'll get TAA for Digne after GW4. For possibly 7,4 😉

      1. manu4life99
        • 14 Years

        If I had free transfers yes but im not on a WC...

      *Burnley

    2. Drogba Legend
      • 6 Years

      That's tough. I'd probably go Justin for the upside as SHU didn't look the same defensively vs Wolves in GW1

    What is the general consensus as to when the ideal time/GW to Wildcard is?

    1. Drogba Legend
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure if one GW in particular has popped up yet outside of GW2/GW3 here.

    2. Flaming Flamingo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      There's no consensus, I'd say. I'm playing mine now, but I wouldn't recommend doing that 😀

    3. afcblegend
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      There is none. Effectively its whether you're cautious or aggressive.

      Know thyself, Big Andy Gawa, and you shall know the answer

    4. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I don’t think there is one. That said, some are jumping this week/next week to take advantage of Everton, Wolves, United, Chelsea and City fixtures. Others are waiting until the transfer window has closed. The rest, bar a few, are waiting until GW10.

  9. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Start justin or Holding?

    Also Yes or No, Ings and Havertz to Richarlison and James for 4?

    1. Drogba Legend
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'm starting both but depends on your team. I don't hate the hit either but be cautious of too much Everton right away.

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Just Havertz to James

    3. ilikewud
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Holding, No - I might do one of those but not both

    4. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Justin and no.

  10. Flair

    Feels like Salah will become essential very quickly

    1. RVP 20

      I would say he already is

      1. Flair

    Can Pulisic cover Werner?

    I can only have 1 8.5+ ST and by the looks of it, it will be Jimenez. Also prefer Martial ahead of Werner. However, I also feel like Chelsea's run after Liverpool is too good to ignore.

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He can imo if fit

    2. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

    3. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes. But he probably won’t be fit

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Keep it's a good differential combo, also prefer an attacker against Chelsea over Wolves

    2. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn’t this week.

    3. iL PiStOlErO

      Yes but after this week

  17. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Would you save this team for another week?

    McCarthy
    Trent - Justin - C Taylor
    Salah - Auba - Son - ASM - Soucek
    Werner - Martial

    Subs: Button, Mitchell, Brewster & Saliba

    Plan is to do Auba>KDB & then upgrade Saliba with the rest of the cash after this week?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Good team that.

    2. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      yeah, no need to WC or use the FT

    3. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years

      Save

  18. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Team for this GW.
    McCarthy.
    Shaw, Ayling, TAA, Justin.
    Son, Auba(c), Salah (vc).
    Werner, DCL, Adams.
    Button, Saint-Max, Biss, Mitchell.
    1 ft, 0.5m ITB.

    1. Son - Rodriguez.
    2. Son - Rashford.
    3. Just hold and re-assess with 2 ft's next GW.
    Not ruling out a WC next GW either.

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I like A and B. Both seem undervalued

    2. Babelcopter
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      3

  19. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    It’s a real shame Richalison didn’t stay as an FPL mid. Think he could have a very good seaso.

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Season*

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      His BPS should improve when he does score but his finishing is still pretty erratic

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I don't know. He misses so many chances that i think he won't get in bps that much

    3. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Agreed

  20. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Best move? Or stick?

    A. Ings >> Martial
    B. Pulisic >> J.Rod
    C. Ings+Pulisic >> Martial+J.Rod -4
    D. Pulisic+Davies >> J.Rod+Digne -4

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Stick

    2. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Leaning towards C at this moment, depending on Pulisic fitness though but I need very promising words from Lampard to keep him.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        What you planning if he is fit? When is the presser do you know?

        1. Gazza2000
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          No idea when the presser is , think it will be Friday.
          If Puli is fit to start I will just get Martial in for Ings.

  21. Cruz88
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Which one?

    a) Calvert and Rashford
    b) Rodriguez and Martial

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      b

    2. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      B yes

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      B for me also

  22. headfried

    Mitrovic played full game last night, rested again on Saturday? Too much of chance, Watkins in. Aw aye wildcard played... Lol.... Had a moment of clarity, all pen takers in midfield and up front(bar watkins?). Set piece takers at the back...keeper??? Might downgrade JWP to Klich or ASM and bring in a 5.0 keeper... Thoughts.....

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure why he would be rested on Saturday, surely he was just played last night to get his fitness levels up?

    2. CrouchDown
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I would expect Watkins to be on pens

    3. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      More like he goey out in 60-70min if the result is good for them

  23. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    All set?

    McCarthy
    Trent Robbo Holding
    James ASM Auba(c) Son
    Werner Ings Wilson

    Martin Justin Mitchell Bissouma

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Sorry, 1m itb 0ft

  24. Miguel Sanchez

    For next two GWs:

    1. Salah
    or
    2. Rashford

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      1

    2. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Always 1

  26. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Davies owners. What's the plan?

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Dont own him but if I did I would be very nervous

  27. aleksaa2
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Ben Davies owners, will you get rid of him before GW3 because of Reguilon's transfer or will you still keep him in your squad?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      On a wc planning to

      If no wc him to Saïss is a possible move I’m considering

  28. Where dahoud at
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Wildcard team well and truly sorted,

    Martinez
    Taa, Castagne, coleman
    Podence, ceballos, kdb, Salah, James Rodriguez
    Werner, martial

    Bench, nyland, saiss, Mitchell, brewster

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Wow that's different. Lots of bases covered I must say.

      1. Where dahoud at
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks itl be Martinez and steer, haha good different or bad?

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Dont like ceballos pick but the rest is solid

    2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Do we know who’s Villa back up keeper mate?? I’m on WC to and have Martínez and Steer

    3. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Very very nice matey

  29. Where dahoud at
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    People's thots on ceballos?

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A 5m substitute

    2. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Burnt once, never again.

    3. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bissouma more value

  30. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I do think Doherty and Son are still good pick with those fixtures, Bale + Reguilon signing force Spus will play 3-4-3 (Doherty RWB, Son LFW).

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Reguilon LWB, Son wont have to track back anymore
