Scout Squad

The Scout Squad’s top picks for FPL Gameweek 6

Three Tottenham Hotspur players have been heavily backed by this week’s Scout Squad panel, with assets from Wolverhampton Wanderers, Brighton and Hove Albion, Aston Villa and Liverpool also in demand.

For the uninitiated, this weekly forerunner to the Scout Picks article sees our four-man panel champion the standout Fantasy Premier League assets for the upcoming Gameweek.

Fantasy Football Scout editor David, deputy editor Neale, video content manager Andy and Pro Pundit Tom will each put forward an 18-man squad of players and explain their notable inclusions and omissions below.

There is a bit more uniformity this week, with the number of players getting three or four nominations more than doubling from a divisive Gameweek 5.

The nominations listed will then be whittled 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 the earlier-than-usual FPL deadline at 18:30 BST on Friday.

There are requirements for at least:

  • One goalkeeper costing £5.0m or less
  • One sub-£5.0m defender
  • One midfielder listed at £6.5m or below
  • 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.

*NOTE: This Scout Squad article was compiled before Carlo Ancelotti revealed that James Rodriguez is set to miss Everton’s match against Southampton.

Most popular picks: Mathew Ryan, Emiliano Martinez, Andrew Robertson, Sergio Reguilon, Son Heung-min, Harry Kane, Neal Maupay, Raul Jimenez (four), Rui Patricio, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Romain Saiss, Tariq Lamptey, Mohamed Salah, Raheem Sterling, Ross Barkley, Dominic Calvert-Lewin (three)

DAVID SAID…

I will continue to insist that Emiliano Martínez is the best budget goalkeeper around right now, with a balanced ability to collect clean sheets, saves and bonus.

Even though he’s played one fewer game than most other shot-stoppers in the division, the Aston Villa man has the most points of any other player in his position (31). That’s come from three clean sheets that were supplemented by three additionals for saves and bonus in two matches. At this point, it doesn’t even matter the opposition, in my opinion.

While Liverpool’s defence was experiencing issues even before Virgil van Dijk’s long-term injury, a home meeting with Sheffield United should give them some respite.

The Blades have scored just twice this season and find themselves in the Premier League’s bottom three for shots on target over the first five Gameweeks – hence why I’m going for the double-up on Liverpool’s defence with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson.

Burnley are another goal-shy outfit at this stage of the campaign, level with Sheffield United on 14 shots on target (3.5 per game). With Spurs attack firing on all cylinders and Sergio Reguilón‘s crossing ability forming a part of that I fancy the left-back at both ends of the pitch in Gameweek 6.

While there is a clamour for £4.1m defender Max Kilman, I’m holding my horses until I see what impact the new left-backs at Wolves have on Romain Saïss’ position. As I highlighted in this article, we could see the Moroccan return to the back-three for a trip to Newcastle if injury-returnee Marçal or new man Rayan Aït-Nouri are preferred at left-back. Nuno Espirito Santo may then have to choose between Saïss or Kilman for that third centre-back slot and, right now, I couldn’t tell you who would win. 

So, for that reason, and because I fancy Wolves defence to keep a fourth clean sheet from six when they host Newcastle, I’m selecting their most nailed-on starting defender Conor “Did He?!” Coady.

Sadio Mané has been tracking closer to Mohamed Salah‘s underlying statistics than usual but I still prefer the latter when pressed to choose one Liverpool midfielder, considering he is also on penalties and still carries greater assist potential to the conversation.

Raheem Sterling is the only Manchester City attacker I feel confident including for the Gameweek 6 trip to West Ham considering the latest injury updates on other key players. The England international, of course, scored a hat-trick during his last league visit to the London Stadium.

Ross Barkley just edges it when looking for an Aston Villa midfielder. On Friday night, Dean Smith’s men will host a Leeds side short of key defensive midfielder Kalvin Phillips and maybe first-choice centre-back Liam Cooper too. While Grealish has more all-round potential, the cheaper Barkley looks the more likely goalscorer, already sitting on more shots on target this season than his club captain despite playing fewer minutes (220 to 360). Ollie Watkins is top for this statistic out of all Villa players, so he goes in for my double-up on their attack.

Even though Burnley’s defence has posted some decent enough underlying statistics recently, I still think the form of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min can burst through. 

The former is top of the league both for big chances created and shots on target, making him the best all-round option for goals and assists right now. Kane also has four goals across his last two league trips to Turf Moor. Meanwhile, Son has been involved, either as an assister or goal-scorer, for eight of Kane’s last 12 attacking returns.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is still top of the league for big chances and expected goals non-penalty so it’s at the point where it doesn’t who the opposition is with him. Even then, Southampton have conceded at least three times on two occasions this year, usually when facing the big clubs, which Everton are on their way to becoming as league leaders.

While Branislav Ivanovic made an instant impact on West Bromwich Albion’s ailing defence against Burnley, Brighton’s attackers have shown great potential recently. With the Serbian still bedding in, I’d expect Neal Maupay and Leandro Trossard to get something in Gameweek 6.

NEALE SAID…

State-the-bleeding-obvious picks abound in my Scout Squad selection this week but it’d be perverse to overlook the likes of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min given their form and fixtures.

Although Trent Alexander-Arnold makes my 18-man long-list and Mohamed Salah’s credentials need little explanation, I’d prefer to see Sadio Mane paired with Andrew Robertson if we’re limited to a Liverpool double-up in the Scout Picks. Sheffield United’s tendency to concede chances and crosses from their right flank plays into Robertson’s hands, while Mane’s aerial ability (coupled with his eye-catching expected goals stats) could help him exploit a Blades backline that has surprisingly allowed more headed chances than any other Premier League team this season.

While I have nagging doubts that I could have saved myself over £1.0m and opted for Ross Barkley over Jack Grealish when I bought the latter last week, I’ll stick to my guns with the Aston Villa talisman for now given that much of the Villans’ play flows through him and considering that his penalty box touch count is superior to all other FPL midfielders from Gameweek 2 onwards.

The old adage of the league table never lying doesn’t seem to hold true with Brighton this season, who have been worth more than four points based on their displays over the last month.

Despite a tricky run of games, no side has allowed fewer shots in the box and only Liverpool have registered more attempts on goal than the Seagulls. A home fixture against West Bromwich Albion, who have carved out just one big chance all season and conceded a joint-high 13 league goals, fills me with confidence with the triple-up on Mathew Ryan, Tariq Lamptey and Neal Maupay.

It wouldn’t be a surprise to see a Wolves-heavy Scout Picks this Friday either, although settling on a nominated defender may prove that bit trickier. Max Kilman is obviously available at a very attractive price and his emergence on the left-hand side of defence does give cause for concern for Romain Saiss owners going forward. The Moroccan, however, is currently enjoying a stint at left wing-back, and with Emil Krafth allowing a lot of chances from the Newcastle right over the last two Gameweeks and with the Magpies always susceptible to conceding attempts from set plays, I’ll take a leap of faith with Saiss ahead of Sunday’s match.

Finally, a word on my customary curveball pick. While Vicente Guaita’s selection underscores my trust in Palace against the top-flight also-rans, Ademola Lookman has made a big impression since signing for Fulham. A very positive cameo on his debut was followed up by a goal and three key passes against Sheffield United last weekend and he could cause a lot of problems for Joel Ward, who still looks like a weak link in that Eagles backline.

TOM SAID…

I’ve doubled up on Wolverhampton Wanderers’ defence ahead of their Gameweek 6 meeting with Newcastle United, via Rui Patrício and Romain Saïss. Nuno Espírito Santo’s men have now kept back-to-back clean sheets, while the Magpies have managed just 12 shots on target across the opening five Gameweeks.

Brighton and Hove Albion also get a defensive double-up from me. So far this season, the Seagulls have managed just one win. However, looking at their performances I think it’s fair to say they’ve been a bit unlucky, and were the better team in most, if not all of those matches. Their opponents, West Bromwich Albion, rank bottom for shots in the box and 18th for chances created. That lack of goal threat suggests Mat Ryan and Tariq Lamptey could be in the points on Monday.

They’re joined at the back by Emiliano Martínez, Andrew Robertson, Sergio Reguilón and João Cancelo.

Cancelo is something of a left-field inclusion but looked the part against Arsenal, often moving infield, and was one of the key players in the game. With Benjamin Mendy set to miss out again, I expect him to line-up on the left on Saturday, which would allow him to attack West Ham United’s weaker right flank.

Further forward, it’s hard to overlook Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané, Son Heung-min and Harry Kane right now, and their selections need little explanation, so I’ll focus on some of my other picks.

Sergio Agüero was dropping deeper than usual as he made his long-awaited return from injury in Gameweek 5, almost acting as a false nine, but this weekend I’m convinced he’ll be back in his natural centre-forward role. Owned by just 2.1% of FPL managers, he’s a huge differential.

I’m also backing Ross Barkley in midfield. He’s amassed 18 points in just two appearances since signing for Aston Villa, scoring in both matches. Leeds United have looked reasonably tight so far, but have given up 53 shots in the box, more than any other side, while Kalvin Phillips will be a big miss.

The list is completed by forwards Raul Jiménez, Neal Maupay and Danny Ings.

ANDY SAID…

I’m not ready to write the Liverpool defence off just yet, despite injuries to Virgil van Dijk and Alisson. Sheffield United have had the fourth-lowest amount of shots in the box so far this season, and although the narrative is set for Rhian Brewster to open his goalscoring account this weekend, I’d be backing clean sheets and potential attacking returns for both Andrew Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Only six players have higher non-penalty expected goals than Neal Maupay at 2.64. Considering he does have penalties in his locker as well he looks a great bet against one of the whipping boys of the league who are conceding on average 9.6 shots in the box per game.

It’s only a small sample size of two matches but Ross Barkley looks like he could be the one to get goals in the Aston Villa midfield. In the two matches they’ve all played together he has had more shots than John McGinn and Jack Grealish combined. He’s not creating as many chances but for those on a budget, he could be the one to go for.

Looking at the last two matches, Sergio Reguilón has come into the Spurs side and created five chances already. That’s the same as Robertson over the same time span and is only beaten by Reece James, Aaron Cresswell and Ben Chilwell. In fact, in terms of expected assists, he’s the highest. I still have concerns over Spurs’ defensive frailties, but he was eight minutes away from a 10 or 11-pointer against West Ham, and this week I’ll hope Burnley don’t have the same fight.

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.

AA33‘s winning 53-point margin in Gameweek 2 is the target to beat.

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

      GW10 is a good week to triple up on Manchester city players

      Just gonna ride the wave until i need it, but i'm currently 50k with only really Dier and Podence as my weak links so i'm in no rush.

      I was taking hits every week so just decided to hit it this week. Feel much better now that I have Kane in and decent bench cover for Rodriguez.

  2. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Reasonably happy to just play Foden & Lamptey both if JRod is out. Is it worth leaving him in my XI though in case Ancelotti is pulling a Jose?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Autosubs do the job.

    2. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years

      You weren't starting Lamptey home to West Brom? How good is your bench?!

      1. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Bench is crap, was just struggling with the dilemma of who to start from Lamptey & Foden before Hamez news.

      2. stu92
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I'm same position. Was a toss-up between Barkley and Lamptey for last starting spot, no need for a decision now.

    Thoughts on this -4?
    R James and Jimenez to Ayling and Kane?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      If you think Kane smashes Jimmy this GW.

      1. Will J 256
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Will it have to be more than 4 points?

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

          Not necessarily. Can be just 4 points more and u break even

        2. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          That would be ideal. Obviously Kane's price is going up and that's the -4 part.

          1. Will J 256
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 3 Years

              Spurs play tonight.

    2. The Mandalorian

      Yes

  4. Jinkys Oars

    Best defender for next few games under 5.4 in price?

    1. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Coady or Saiss

        This

      2. Jinkys Oars
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Coady slightly more nailed?

        1. stu92
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yes but Saiss more goal threat.

  5. Simon69
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Zaha vs Fulham or be sensible and hold Hamez hmmmm

    1. stu92
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Only if you were rolling a transfer anyway, and only if you have no value saved in Rodriguez. Zaha would be a terrible gamble if you are taking a -4 or losing money.

        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        You can always take the 0.2 profit. Can never lose that. I'm never sure what to make of the value of a player, selling price is all that matters right?

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

          Yeah but ill want him back so that's a loss

      Hi all. Would appreciate some advice on the below options

      Mccarthy Nyland

      Chilwell Lamptey Saiss (Mitchell Taylor)

      Son Salah (c) Rashford ASM (Bissouma)

      Kane (vc) Mitrovic DCL

      1FT 3.8M ITB

      A) Mitro - > werner. He's finally playing upfront and has nice fixtures after MUN

      B)  Rashford - > Sterling. Need some City coverage for next few fixtures. Too risky going without. MUN have bad fixtures

      C) Save and reassess after this GW. Mitro drops and maybe Werner rises tho

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I wouldn't sell Rashford just as he's hit form, he's a streaky player.

        1. Andriy Shevchenko is Back
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Fair point, thank you

    3. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You know next week some peeps are gonna be searching Evertons training pics looking for JRod.

      1. Lev Yashin
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        This is the way.

    4. jb1985
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Any idea when Ferguson (cpl) is due back from injury? From reading the article seems Ward is a weak point at right back. I assume Roy as noticed this as well.

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        They brought in Clyne on a free transfer so I think that's a bad sign for when they expect Ferguson to be able to feature.

      2. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        perhaps 2021 - Clyne now signed as Ferguson injury looks worse than first feared

    5. twaid
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Who to start?
      A) Chilwell
      B) Kilman

      1. Andriy Shevchenko is Back
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Definitely Chilly. Very attacking

        1. Andriy Shevchenko is Back
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          And Lampard may deploy same tactics as he did vs Sevilla and shut out, possibly 0-0 again

    6. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Which one do you prefer for the next two? Why? I have Salah already...

      A. Mané (SHU, WHM) but carrying a muscle issue (cf ice yesterday) so could have his minutes limited, especially now CL is there and Klopp seems to trust Jota?

      B. Sterling (whm, shu), but could be benched at any point with Pep? Usually better away than home tho?

      1. 2OLEgend
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Sterling imo. One Premium LIV mid is enough

        1. Pieterke30
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Except if they put 5 past SHU and Mané proves better than Salah (again).

          1. 2OLEgend
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            In that case, do Salah -> Mane if you think his the better pick

      2. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Mane

        1. Pieterke30
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Why?

          1. Bubz
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            His stats

      3. Hy liverpool
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Mane not carrying any injury and jota will replace firmino if any... CL vs midtjiland is easy game (should)

        1. Pieterke30
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          So youre saying Mané is a definite starter in the next two PL games and if Klopp gives him a breather it’s vs Midtj-thing. Makes sense.

        Good question, I'm wondering the same, currently own Mo and Raz, considering a move from Raz to Mane but feels a bit sideways.

      I am on WC and wondering what to do with Hamez, especially because I got him in at 7.5. Hold or sell for Pulisic?

      1. 2OLEgend
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Hold!

      2. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        On WC Id sell but probably not for Pulisic. Id aim higher - Mané, Sterling, Bruno, Rashford.

      3. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Hold

      4. Zimo
        • 5 Years

        Hold that baby

    8. Von Lipwig

      Any chance both Saiss and Kilman start? That way no need to sell Rod...........

      (A) Chilwell and Saiss
      (B) Robertson and Struijk

      1. 2OLEgend

        A

      Feel a bit handcuffed on JRod having bought him at 7.5, but have a feeling this could end up being a bit of an injury saga

      1. Lev Yashin
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Sell and save yourself the stress.

        1. Bubz
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Selling could end up equally stressful 😆

          1. Lev Yashin
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            With all those lovely midfield options?

        2. Zimo
          • 5 Years

          It'll feel worse if he comes back like next week and hauls

      2. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Always concerned about a Martial situation from last season. Not removing him this week though

      3. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        shouldnt be an issue as long as you have a backup

      4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        get a united mid in

      5. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Chances are your bench is strong enough to cover this week given the fixtures and doubt he'll drop below 7.9. Holding for this week but may be moving on with 2 free transfers next week if the signs aren't good.

      Played my WC and finally got a great CW score, was looking to roll my FT but now not sure on whether to transfer Hamez out for Mahrez, Pulisic, or Havertz maybe?

      Martinez
      Robertson Saiss Mitchell
      Salah Grealish Hamez Son
      Kane Maupay DCL

      Forster Dallas Bissouma KWP

      I have £1.1 ITB so could upgrade a defender otherwise? Any help appreciated as always.

      1. Zrinkec
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Well depends if you think for future fixtures some of them are better than Hames then do it, otherwise if you still believe Hames in full picture stay with him. i would hold honestly in your pisition, like James potential this season.

      2. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Really good side. Would 100% roll that FT.

        1. SpaceCadet
          • 10 Years

          Thinking the same. Play Dallas or Brewster? Cheers bud.

      2. Zrinkec

        Keep and start Dallas or Brewster.

      Hamez injury is why I've been advocating having 8 viable midf/fed options. Klich off the bench for me - I'm not worried.

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

        Thats whats brewsters for 🙂

        1. Flair
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah, it's the defense that lacks options for me lol

      2. Zrinkec
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Ya 8 are MUST for this season, one 4.0m in defense have sense rest, must have atleast Bissouma to get some pts when this things happens.

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Bissy's a particularly tasty option home to WBA this GW. 4 viable defenders is fine, although I have 5 (1x5m, 4x4.5m)

          Mane or Salah, heart says Mane, head Salah. May go Salah.

      D) Bench Rodriguez and do Mitchell -> Kilman

      1. Flair

        D

      2. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        C or D. D if 4th choice defender isn't what you want this week.

        1. The Count of Monte Cristo
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Assuming Mtichell is 5th

      3. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years

        I'm either starting Dallas or doing D.

        1. TheDragon
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Ye Bissouma or KWP are my other uninspiring options

          It’s very irritating as it all looked so good for those week

          1. Flair
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Same, I was so optimistic... now both Rodriguez and DCL essentially replaced with 2 pointers

            1. TheDragon
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Why DCL? Lack of service?

              1. Flair
                • 3 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Yeah, Southampton are no pushovers IMO.

          2. The Ejiptian King
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I'd play Bissouma, wish I went him over Stephens.
