Scout Squad

The Scout Squad’s best players for FPL Double Gameweek 26

Players with two fixtures in Double Gameweek 26 predictably dominate the Scout Squad selection this week.

Indeed, not a single player with just one match in the coming Gameweek has been nominated by our panel.

For those new to this feature, Fantasy Football Scout editor David, deputy editor Neale, video content manager Andy and Pro Pundit Tom each put forward an 18-man long-list of players and explain their notable inclusions and omissions below.

The assets listed will then be narrowed down to a squad of 15 (with the starting XI not exceeding a total cost of £83.0m) for the weekly Scout Picks selection ahead of the FPL deadline at 11:00 GMT on Saturday.

In each writer’s squad, 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 also 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 am looking to the Spurs and Fulham defences for Double Gameweek 25. Matches against Burnley and the Cottagers offer plenty of clean sheet potential, which is why Spurs sit top of the Season Ticker for ‘defence’ in Double Gameweek 26.

I’ve gone with Hugo Lloris and Davinson Sanchez as they feel the two most-likely starters in Jose Mourinho’s back-line.

Meanwhile, Alphonse Areola has the perfect combination of matches for Double Gameweek 26. A trip to Crystal Palace offers the possibility of a clean sheet given their record with Wilfried Zaha while a meeting with Spurs could give him the chance to significantly add to his 83 saves this season.

Ola Aina is joint-top for key passes among Fulham defenders over the last four matches and ranks best for shots on target too.

Luke Shaw has been a creative powerhouse of late, fashioning 15 chances in the last four matches, at least six more than any other defender.

One of those is Trent Alexander-Arnold although his eight key passes is still the third-highest among players in his position, so I think we could see him ticking over with points again soon.

Bruno Fernandes is starting to feel like an auto-include, even though he faces Chelsea this week. It is the second Double Gameweek fixture against Crystal Palace that appeals. Over their last four matches, the Eagles are the Premier League’s second-worst side for expected goals conceded (xGC).

Meanwhile, nobody has been afforded more big chances than Mohamed Salah and Ilkay Gündogan over that same period.

The former faces a Sheffield United side without their three first-choice centre-backs in the first of Liverpool’s Double Gameweek fixtures while the latter has been so key to Manchester City that I am sure he will get significant game-time across home meetings with West Ham and Wolves.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is my pick of the forwards considering Everton’s Double Gameweek 26 fixtures. Southampton have conceded nine goals across their last four (which does not include the infamous Old Trafford defeat anymore) while West Bromwich Albion have given up at least two goals in eight of their last 10.

Jamie Vardy is among those players currently joint-top for big chances over their last four matches while only three players have a superior figure for minutes per expected goal involvement (xGI) over the same period than Mbaye Diagne.

NEALE SAID

I’ll let the others do the talking on the widely selected assets of Double Gameweek 26, as there will be few of you who are wondering why the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Harry Kane and Ilkay Gundogan have made the cut.

Instead, I’ll take you through some of the less-obvious selections.

While Son Heung-min looks like he’s running on fumes of late, Gareth Bale has strung together three impressive appearances in Europe and on the home front – even if some of them were cameos off the bench.

Fitness and game-time are possible downsides with the Welshman but he’s looked sharper and more motivated over the last week, with a benching in the Europa League on Wednesday looking like a strong indicator that he will make Jose Mourinho’s starting XI this weekend.

Attacking returns in his last three competitive appearances is a neat reflection of his renaissance, while he had more final third touches than any other player bar Son in the West Ham game – despite only featuring as a second-half substitute. But this is as much an ‘eye test’ selection as anything else, with Bale looking more Wales talisman than washed-up Madridista of late.

Seven clean sheets in 12 matches on the road makes Emiliano Martinez a no-brainer for a Double Gameweek 26 long-list but I’ve nominated Ahmed Elmohamady as a cheaper route into the Villa defence, with the Egyptian looking a secure-ish starter given that Matty Cash is sidelined for the foreseeable future.

Elmohamady has one of the best minutes-per-chance-created averages among Fantasy defenders this season and even if that figure comes from precious little game-time, we FPL veterans know he loves a cross from his past exploits at Hull and Sunderland.

Mbaye Diagne has a decent run of matches coming up, starting with a double-header at the Hawthorns. He’s joint-top for big chances among FPL forwards since his arrival in January and, on a related note, sits above his positional peers for expected goal involvement, too.

His shot count would look even more impressive if he didn’t have a frustrating knack of being caught offside, although that in itself is perhaps encouraging as it implies he is always looking for that half-yard beyond the last defender.

TOM SAID…

Double Gameweek players unsurprisingly make up my entire 18-man squad this time.

Aston Villa looked short of ideas without playmaker Jack Grealish last weekend, and though his absence will put more pressure on their defence, it’s hard to look past Emiliano Martínez as the top goalkeeper pick. The 28-year-old has made more saves than any other stopper in recent weeks, with the Argentinian accompanying Alphonse Areola and Sam Johnstone.

Manchester City have conceded just four goals in their last 17 Premier League matches, which is why João Cancelo is so appealing, with his kinder priced team-mate John Stones joining him. 

I also like Luke Shaw, who has created more chances than any other defender in the last six matches. He’s also improved his ability from set-pieces, which is relevant with Wednesday night’s opponents Crystal Palace often struggling to properly defend crosses into the box.

While Everton’s defence isn’t exactly watertight, I’ve found a spot for Lucas Digne too ahead of games against Southampton and West Bromwich Albion. The Saints have conceded the highest number of chances from their right-flank over their last six, which adds to his appeal, and I’m also willing to take a risk on differential Ainsley Maitland-Niles. Following Semi Ajayi’s red card at Burnley, the on-loan Arsenal man shifted out to a wider attacking role, which manager Sam Allardyce has hinted we might see more of in the coming weeks. I also think Albion have looked much better now that their new arrivals have been integrated into the starting XI.

Further forward, Bruno Fernandes is an obvious inclusion given his rate of returns. The Portuguese has now scored in each of his last four league games, bringing in a massive 45 FPL points across that period. 

He’s joined in midfield by Mohamed Salah, Son Heung-min and İlkay Gündoğan. Kevin De Bruyne is really unfortunate not to make the squad, and he will be making an appearance in my own team, but somebody had to miss out given Harvey Barnes’ form. His goal against Villa was his 13th of the season in all competitions, yet you get the feeling there is still more to come from him. 

Up front, Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy are excellent options, plus Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who is now looking much sharper and has quietly racked up four attacking returns in his last three league appearances. The forward list is completed by differential Mbaye Diagne and Ollie Watkins, both of whom look the pick of the budget striker options this week.

ANDY SAID

As ever with Manchester City it’s not a question of should we triple up, it’s just a question of which three we pick. It’s hard to look against the double-up in defence, but double attack provides a little bit of a differential at this point. With Ilkay Gündogan you get incredible value, and with Kevin De Bruyne you get a player who’s registering 0.73 expected goal involvements (xGI) every 90 minutes. That’s only beaten by Bruno Fernandes (0.74) for midfielders playing regular minutes.

Despite major concerns over Liverpool losing another key player in Jordan Henderson, it’s difficult to look past Trent Alexander-Arnold. Sheffield United have registered just 4.71 expected goals (xG) in the last six matches, the third-worst total in the league. You’d expect defensive returns in that game, with a potential cagey match against Chelsea to follow. Only Luke Shaw and James Justin have higher xGI than Alexander-Arnold over their last six matches when it comes to defenders.

Even with Tottenham Hotspur struggling in their last few matches I can’t look past the attacking double-up. While they’re short of goals in their last half-dozen fixtures, they have played four of the five best defences for expected goals conceded (xGC) this season in West Ham, Brighton, Chelsea and Man City. Liverpool weren’t exactly pushovers in Gameweek 20, either. In fact, if you look at the games outside of this, Harry Kane has scored against West Brom, Sheffield United, Fulham and Leeds United, which were the other fixtures that made up the Lilywhites’ last nine games.

              Either bench or that for me. I think Kane + Barnes are well worth the hit.

              You see, benching with the double coming sounds good, but Saints have been abismal. Think I'd go for Kane myself.

              1. waltzingmatildas

                Cheers. Problem is I don't have FH so need to keep 29 in mind.
                Tough, thanks for your input

    Lads, a little help please? (Only TC available as a hit.)

    Martínez / Pope
    Dias / Stones / Cresswell / Digne / Dallas
    Salah / Bruno / Gündogan / Raphinha / Soucek
    DCL / Bamford / Watkins

    A. Bamford to Kane
    B. Bamford to Kane, Soucek to Barnes, Pope to Areola (- 8)

    I do like B, but - 8 hurts. What do you think?

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A surely?

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I thought of it, but I think Barnes' double might make it up for the - 8. But then again, it might not...

        1. waltzingmatildas
          • 13 Years

          If I could get to Kane for free I'd do that....

      I take it the Pope->Areola is to free up funds - or you'd just play Martinez? Soucek->Barnes is a good longer-term move. Bamford to Kane (TC) could pay off handsomely, but you'll want him back for 29. You could just do Soucek->Barnes, bench Bamford (or Raphina) and TC Salah/Gundo/Bruno?

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        You assumed correctly, and that is a very good option indeed.

        Only I'm too fast of a trigger and transferred Kane in already, since I thought I'd do it anyways. Shame on me.

        Still, I cannot thank you enough for taking the time. Cheers! And good luck!

          Hey, np. Kane could easily end up the top scorer this week and it will look like a genius move. If it doesn't, then just remember I played my TC on Salah back in his last DW for next to no points at all...

          1. sirmorbach
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            My deepest condolences — coming from someone who, a couple of years ago, TC'd Coutinho who walked off injured at the 8-minute mark..

            Good luck, sir, cheers!

    Pope
    Stones, Digne, Mee
    Gundo, Bruno, Salah, Sterling
    Watkins, Bamford, Ings
    (McCarthy, Raphinha, Coufal, Alioski)

    My head is all over the place. Need to get Kane as a TC. Ings plus one of premiums Salah, Sterling, Bruno must go to make it happen.

    Two options I'm considering...

    a) OUT: Sterling, Bamford, Ings, Mee IN: Mahrez, DCL, Kane (TC), Konsa (for a -12)
    b) OUT: Salah, Ings IN: Kane, Son (-4)

    1. MARVELLUS

    Mendy to Martinez for a hit?

    1. MARVELLUS

      Only if u need a gw29 keeper.

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years

        1. MARVELLUS
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Good move then, good luck

  7. MARVELLUS
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    No love for Pickford in the scout picks? I am surprised.

    Is McCarthy to a DGW keeper worth a 4pt hit? If so..... which from Lloris/Pickford/Areola/Johnstone? GW29 already covered.

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Areola

    2. Boz
      • 11 Years

        And city though.....

      2. MARVELLUS
        • 14 Years

        Good point though, could get a CS next week

  8. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Are these 6 players enough for GW29?

    Martinez
    White
    Son Raphinha or Grealish
    Kane Bamford

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years

      Should be fine yeah

    2. MARVELLUS
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would want at least 8

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Probably no. You need a couple of WHU players in there as well. Cresswell and Antonio

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I wouldn't mind Cresswell. He's done so well for me I'd love to have him back.

        Playing 352 so I don't think I'll have space for Antonio.

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          To survive BGW29 with no FH and less than 11 players, you need to pick players with the high ownership. Looking at it again, Dallas more than Cresswell is needed your team

  9. Aster

    Anyone intrigued by Bale?

    1. M C4

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        haha that is interesting. You can see one of those defenders outscoring Raphinha or Bamford?

    2. Karan14

      A

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I've been eyeing up that move since GW24. Maddison injury has put a slight dent in it. I need to see how LEI play tonight without Maddison and how that affects Barnes

        1. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Barnes has done fairly well without Maddison don't think it will be a problem.

          1. Tonyawesome69
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            That is good to know. Definitely need a LEI player as those doubles look good.

  13. LucasPodolski

  14. WG010692
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is Mendy, Ings and Lowton -> Martinez, Kane (TC) and Mitchell worth the -8

    Mendy - (4.0)
    Cancelo Dias Lowton (Dallas Coufal)
    Salah Son Gundo Bruno (Raphinha)
    Bamford Ings Watkins

    Ladies & Gents

    For GW26 Who would you pick?

    Areola with Palace away and Spurs at home or
    De Gea with Chelsea away and Palace away

    No bench boost

    1. Tonyawesome69

    bank: 1.7m, FT: 1
    Bench: Pope,Dallas, Adams, Coufal

    A. Bamford, Sterling, Coufal -> Kane, Lookman, Cancelo (442) -8
    B. Bamford, Sterling, Pope-> Kane, Son, McCarthy(352/442) -8

    Adams, Dalls and lookman are in.mind with gw29

      Dont know -16 hit is worth for the below

      Bamford, Sterling, Maguire, Pope -> Kane, Son, Aina, McCarthy

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm not a fan of those -8. What about Sterling and Bamford to Kane and Barnes doable?

      1. akhilrajau
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yes i can also can include cancello with -8.
        But again we need to get rid of Barnes for gw 29

    Why is Bale being spoken about as an FPL option again?

    2. Aster
      • 3 Years

      Because of his recent matches

    BB Team:

    Martinez Sanchez
    Cancelo Stones Targett Shaw Dallas
    Bruno(c) Salah Gundo Barnes Raphinha
    Kane DCL(v) Bamford

    0.8 ITB, 0 FT

    Anything there worth a hit? Dallas or Raph?

    Bruno or DCL captain? Currently on Bruno but not 100%.

    1. FCRS1991

      Would not change a thing!

      I'm thinking of TCing Kane. I know the form is not the greatest but he has been active and he plays two bottom sides where he usually does very well.

      1. Pukki Pies
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I had Kane as captain until today, but talked myself out of it. Two bottom sides but neither are conceding a lot lately. I don't think his ceiling is that high?

    Is Anontio to Watkins worth a hit to play over Bamford?

    Martinez
    Cancelo Stones Shaw
    Salah Bruno Gundogan Son Raph
    Kane Bamford

    Pope Antonio Dallas Coufal

  21. JELLYFISH

    Surprised that Pickford has not made it in to any of the scout picks!

  22. FCRS1991

    This is my current team. It gave me decent returns in the last few weeks (apart from the bet on Ings)

    Martinez McCarthy
    Shaw Stones Dallas Coufal Lowton
    Bruno Gundogan Sterling Maddison Son
    Ings Watkins Bamford

    2.2M ITB, 1 transfer

    My goals now are:
    1 - Bring in Kane to TC, but I am short 0.5M for a straight swap
    2 - Maybe replace Maddison due to injury??

    Which would you do?
    A - Ings> Kane, Maddison>Barnes, Coufal > Aina (-8 hit)
    B - Ings>Kane, Sterling >Bernardo/Foden, keep Maddison and hope he plays (-4hit)
    C - Ings>Vardy, Maddi>Barnes (-4 hit)
    D - ??

    Any help is appreciated!!

    1. Pukki Pies

      Can you afford Ings & Maddison > Kane & Barnes?

      1. FCRS1991
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Short 0.2M unfortunately

          West Brom's Pereira too punty?
          Also maybe no good if you are stuck with him.

    2. FCRS1991

      Tried finding an update on Maddison, they are not disclosing the extent of the injury.
      Any news that I mightve missed beyond teh UEL tie today?

    Question 1: Do people think Ben Davies (spurs) starts either game during DGW26?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe 1

    Seems weird reading about FF team leaks on the BBC. I had no idea FPL Insider wrote a bot to check players and staff transfers in and out. I probably would have kept it to myself.

    Anyone going double Everton attack???....DCL & Richarlison with Kane??

    1. FCRS1991
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Everton is very unreliable...1 attacker is enough

    2. Pukki Blinders

      Overboard

      I've got DCL and Siggy - does that count?

  26. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years

    Best option to bring in now until gw29?

    A. Aina (double up with Areola)
    B. Konsa (double up with Martinez)

    2. _Ninja_

    Any thoughts on this BB rabble?

    AREOLA McCarthy
    CANCELO STONES KONSA MITCHELL Dallas
    SON BRUNO SALAH GUNDO Raphina
    Bamford DCL (K)ANE

    £0.5itb -4

  29. wonkeydonkey

    A) Play Raphinia (avl)
    B) Mee -> Digne (SOU, wba) for -4
    C) Mee -> Regullion (BUR, ful) for -4

    I would play Digne/Reguillon/ another DEF in GWs 27/28/29 so that I could bench DCL v che in 27 & Raph v CHE in 28

    I don't have FH for 29, but already looking at 8-10 players
