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.

    Sterling and Bamford/Watkins > Gundogan and Kane -8?

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

      Nah

    2. rubberdignerapids
      • 4 Years

      not for -8

  2. Says
    • 13 Years

    Is Mbaye Diagne an actual player or just a typo of someone suggesting perhaps an Everton wingback?

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

      Thinking the same

    2. FPL price manipulators are …
      • 10 Years

      If there was no offside rule he would score 5 goals every game

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

      It’s Mbappe and Digne’s child

  3. OverTinker

    Chances of Cancelo, stones and Gundo playing both games in DGW?

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

      Imo
      Gundo low
      Cancelo medium
      Stones high

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

      Expect all to play once

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not high.

      I think Gundo has the best chance though. There's no one in the squad that offers the same qualities that he does.

    4. rubberdignerapids
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      28 percent that all 3 play both games

  4. FPL price manipulators are …

    I don't get the hype over Shaw. Two tough fixtures coming up and blanks in GW29

    1. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      "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."

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

      Just look at his stats but I agree tough fixtures on paper so I wouldn't bring him in

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

      Agreed. Prefer Digne, Pereira or Reguilon but they are 0.5-1.0m more expensive.

    4. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Basically a 5.0 midfielder that can get the odd 4 points for clean sheet. At that price point there are simply no better options

  5. FantasyHero
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Was set on doing Dallas + Maddy to targett + barnes
    But now thinking digne + traore is slightly better. Thoughts?

  6. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Pereira (wba) or lookman for this week?

    Would prefer pereira, but thinking lookman for 29 swings it. Plan to wc30.

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

      Periera

    2. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Incredible timing, this always happens.

      I prefer Pereira.

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

      Lookman for me with gw29 also in mind

    4. marcos11
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Pereira

    5. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Pereira, playing up front aswell

  7. Boly Would
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    It's pretty slim pickings for a max 4.2 def to sit on the bench until their gw29 fixture. Who looks the best option:
    Burn, Struijk, Lewis, or Lascelles?

    Obvious issue is a couple of those might have lost their place by 29.

    1. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Burn

  8. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone interested in Pereira for West Brom? 3 decent home games in a row and he can haul. The downside of course is that he's very hot and cold. If I go for him over Barnes, it allows me to upgrade a Burnley defender to anyone up to 6.1m.

    a) Barnes & Konsa
    a) Pereira & Reg, Digne or R.Pereira

    1. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Meant to put b) of course. :/

  9. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Kane should rise tonight right? Should I risk bringing him in a few days early to avoid being priced out?

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

      Yeah I would risk it. He made the bench last night and didn't play along with Son. Should be fine for 26

      1. Alisson WondHaaland
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah agreed. Thanks

    2. Tango74

      Same for me , ings may drop too

  10. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Repost.
    Have stones and Gundogan.
    So Grealish to KDB
    Or
    Coufal to Cancelo /Dias

    Which would you do?
    Thanks lads.

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

      I still need to see some form from KDB before I change the set-up of my team to bring him in. You need to get rid of Grealish if he is out injured but I prefer the Dias move

    2. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I get dias, since we dont know if pep thinks kdb is fully fit yet

          I want to do it. I really want to cap someone off kilter this week. I'm not making up ground at present. I don't care if I finish 200K+ by trying something different. Better to shoot for top 10K with some brave picks than to accept a run of the mill top 100K finish.

          1. Wild Rover
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Pep really bigging him up, especially his readiness to go again. I think he starts Saturday and will be hard to drop if he nails it. I'm confident

      • OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        A. (Ederson, Dias, Digne, Dier, Hamez, Watkins) with FH

        B. (Pope, Stones, AWB, Cancelo, Gundo, Bamford) includes single hit

        I feel Each player in A can easily outscore in B plus its without hit

        So considering rotation risk and other factors which option should I go for??
        Please advise as I am not a very experienced player

      • icanseethroughyou
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Coming to the conclusion that I don’t need to wildcard this team but that triple captain might be the best option. Still some hits to be taken though to whip it into shape (1 FT), Pope being one of them to take out maybe for Schmeicel.

        Who else would you get?

        Pope, Forster
        Maguire, Justin, Digne, Dias, Saiss
        Sterling, Fernandes, Foden, Maddison, Raphinha
        Ings Bamford BDR

          Everton 72% of CS , is it crazy to go for Coleman ?

            You need to let this Coleman thing go, he’s not a starter

            1. The Strokes
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Ok thanks and is Kean a starter or is Targett the better pick

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

                Mina injured so Keane will start

        5. Alisson WondHaaland
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          You cant just add probabilities like that

            Beat me to it

          2. The Strokes
            • 5 Years

            Yes in fact I can as they are independant events

            1. Stupendous
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Uh, no you can't.

                • 4 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                108% doesn't exist

                1. The Strokes
                  • 5 Years
                  3 years, 1 month ago

                  Correct it should be 1.08

            2. Wild Rover
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Lol

              It is "independent", by the way.

          This makes no mathematical sense and is a load of tosh.

          You can't add a percentage to a percentage and get a total sum.

          Each match needs to be viewed individually.

          For City, if anything it's 108/200, and thus a 54% chance using that logic.

          Everton being 36 as an average.

            Not true the 1.08 tells you that the probability of CS for MC is just above having one clean sheet

            1. Stupendous
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Whatever government provided your education inevitably failed.

                At least he failed it less than yours.
                So you say that Manchester city have a 54 % chance of clean sheet? Which would be just above the 39% of Brighton that only have one match?!
                The only way two compare 2 probabilities with a different number of events is to use the Expected value.
                So yes the expected number of CS of MC in the DGW is 1.08.
                Which shouldn't be mistaken with the probability of having at least 1 CS which is 79% for MC.

              Yeah 1.08 is the expected clean sheets for the two games

        Anyone with a good rank going with DCL (TC) or is it an unnecessary risk?

        1. The Train Driver
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Not a good rank, but yeah. Not doing it to chase, just think he's the best candidate for the armband.

        2. The Strokes
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I only trust premium players for a TC eventhough I know your choice for a C or a TC shouldn't be different

      • Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Sterling or Foden a better option for the next couple of DGWs?

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

          Foden due to price

        2. rubberdignerapids
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Sterling...probably...

          3 years, 1 month ago

          Ask pep he most likely decide who plays. If they play both are even good i would say. Aguero is back aswell

      • Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Which off the following players would you take a hit for?

        A. H.Barnes
        B. Digne
        C. Pereira
        D. None of them

        1. Alisson WondHaaland
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          A and A only

      • Garlicbread
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Hi, after the Webster and March injury news, which of these BHA defs is best as a GW29 pick? Only have 4.3m left.

        A) Burn
        B) Veltman

        Thanks in advance.....

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

          B. Burn will be lucky to still have his place by then

        2. Make Arrows Green Again
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Lamptey might get Veltman's RWB position back by 29.

          1. Garlicbread
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Yes - from what i heard in the presser today he may make bench this week which mean he will be pushing if not starting by GW29. Whoever i transfer in this week, i can do with being around in GW29 to avoid making a transfer.

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

            And Veltman will take Burns LWB position

            1. Make Arrows Green Again
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Oh what a gloriously tangled web we weave.

              Ultimately, as someone who started Sanchez and White and benched Ederson, Lowton and Digne you can expect Brighton to concede four goals from two shots on target every game between now and the end of the season.

      • Von Lipwig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Tricky one I think:

        for GW27 and 28:
        A) Bruno (MCI a, WHU h)
        B) Salah (FUL h, WOL a) -4 hit

        1. rubberdignerapids
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          If liverpool pick up any form then B edges it

      • waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Is Watkins still a good option with grealish out?

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

          Not someone I’d be wasting a transfer to bring in

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

            Even if you had ings?

        2. Maeki2
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          For his price i would say so

        3. marcos11
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I think he is, good fixtures with a potential for two doubles

            No need, Spurs are rubbish and I don’t fear them

        Best below 4.4 def to bench until gw29 anyone?

        Raphinha-> Peireira (-4) on a BB, Exact cash
        Yes or no?

        1. Eleven Hag
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          No never

        2. Jamb0
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Nah

        3. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Would essentially be half the hit since Pereira plays twice

          But I wouldn't

          Raph could haul

      • Jamb0
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        On a BB..

        Martinez
        Dias Alonso Rudiger Shaw
        Fernandes Salah Gundo Grealish
        Kane Watkins

        Areola Bamford Raphina Struijk

        Plan is Grealish to Barnes... anything else worth a hit? (0.1 short of Bamford -> DCL)
