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.

    Hello folks, finally I decided to use my WC now ( playing at Fanteam.com). It was tough decision but it was made. Current team looks like this:

    Martinez ( Steer inactive 4.0 )
    Digne Konsa Soyuncu Stones ( Dallas )
    Barnes Fernandes Salah Sterling ( Lookman )
    Calvert Kane (C) ( Hirst inactive 4.0 )

    My thoughts are that in BG29 its contraproductive to have defender from LEE vs midfielder FUL. Other thing are two useless picks like Steer and Hirst. Third 0 ITB. Fourth is STERLING

      You need 3 city

      Who gets the most minutes over the next 4 games?

  3. Kodap

    Who's my best triple captain choice out of these lot?

    1. Kane
    2. Bruno
    3. DCL
    4. Salah

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years

      horrible feeling it's 4

    2. Camino Aleatorio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Everybody is going KANE, 85%

      Everybody that is DCL will switch to Kane 5 minutes before deal line.

      Salah finally scored easy goals on RBL. If Jota is back, he could have a big week.

      Bruno guys, we are sticking Bruno, but a Minority 10%

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

      Think DCL points range is 12 to 20, Kane's is 10 to 30 - swings it to Kane for me

  4. Camino Aleatorio

    Top Captains and the 3C's

    I think this week 60% of the captains will be King Kane and he is going to be 3C heavy. All the blogs and websites are luring people in that direction.

    Man... We need Burnley and Fulham to shock the world !

    Plus, Son is due his yearly Red Card. He's Due !

  5. Abaddon

    The big question. Play

    A) DDG
    B) Johnstone

    Hi - anyone got any insight on who is the best fulham defender please?

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

      "Aiona" or something. He scores goals. Or Areola, the GK

      In the non-FPL sense, the best player is Andersson, he will be highly prized in the summer. Amazing player.

    Hello folks, finally I decided to use my WC now ( playing at Fanteam.com). It was tough decision but it was made. Current team looks like this:

    Martinez ( Steer inactive 4.0 )
    Digne Konsa Soyuncu Stones ( Dallas )
    Barnes Fernandes Salah Sterling ( Lookman )
    Calvert Kane (C) ( Hirst inactive 4.0 )

    My thoughts are that in BG29 its contraproductive to have defender from LEE vs midfielder FUL. Other thing are two useless picks like Steer and Hirst. Third 0 ITB.

    I wondered and came with two solutions.
    First: Soyuncu, Steer, Hirst Sterling to Pereira, Sanchez, Dunk and Gundogan

    I didnt want to sacrifice Sterling but if I did it looks more balanced. Nothing contraproductive and more players for BG29. Upgraded Soyuncu to Pereira ( more threat I hope ) and 1.4 ITB.

    Second:
    Dunk, Barnes, Bamford vs Burn, Vardy, Raphina

    Here is another variant. 0 ITB but same number but different players for BG29. I cant decide who is more nailed Stones vs Dias/Cancelo ( both played in UCL ) and Vardy/Raphina vs Barnes/Bamford combo. There is posibility to take Mane instead of Salah and get most expensive defenders from MCI, BHA and LEI.

    Thanks for any opinion. GL HF

      No Fernandes?

        I assume both are less than 31% since they didn't make the list. Bookies favour Chelsea CS over Bruno getting a goal

    5. Pompel

      Do the bookies odds consider expected minutes/likelyhood of starting?

      1. mezza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        No - those probabilities are essentially the probability of scoring given the player starts.

        1. Pompel
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Makes sense. I think it's 50:50 whether Sterling to start against West Ham

      Close enough to mine that you can have my best wishes - essentially I have Vardy over DCL and Shaw for Digne. Probably doubling down on Vardy as C

      They got 9 returns between them vs Southampton GW3

      And 11 between them in GW4/5 vs Man Utd/West Ham

      21 returns between them in GW2-5 lol

      (Kane 5G 7A & Son 7G 2A)

        Yeah, but a lot of people are backing Kane. I'm saying Son will do well if you think Kane will do well.

    Pep Guardiola on Joao Cancelo: "He's playing really well. He is a player with huge quality and his physicality is overwhelming. If tomorrow we were to play another game he would be ready to play. And with his two assists in the final third, was brilliant."

    Cancelo benched Saturday then 🙁

      That’s what’s worries Me about BB as you want DGW Players

      1. Going Home
        • 12 Years

        You’d take a city player starting once over most players playing twice. At least they will almost certainly get one start over a DGW haha

      Where you going from Maddison Max?

      You must have killed it last week on the triple up assuming you had Leeds too.

        You might have me confused with another Max 🙂 I refused to be involved with Maddison this year due - owned last year & his injury record was too frustrating!

          Must have

          Thought you were rocking that triple up.

          I'm allergic to Maddison too. He's in the Rashford hall of infamy. Barnes shares digs with Diogo Jota living in the palace vacated by Hazard.

            I thought it was relatively probably they'd al do damage against Villa yeah - Villa have been leaking an awful lot of attempts & no Grealish was just a stretch too far for them

      Yeah, Cancelo will be rested.

    No bb no fh left

    Martinez
    Cancelo Dias Stones Lowton
    Salah Fernandes Grealish Raphinha

    Antonio to Watkins?

    And play Watkins instead of Bam?

      I'm seriously considering this. Just a bit worried about Villa minus Grealish.

    I have no desire to get Kane, but the fear is real.

    Might just have to flip a coin.

      Don’t play out of fear.

      This is just crazy for me. Don't force yourself into owning a player out of fear. Get the players you want, it's your team and it's a damn game, a free one at that.

      Playing in fear, you might as well stop playing in my opinion

        Unless you are number 1 or thereabouts or playing with a million pounds on the line there shouldn't be any fear.

        Losing 10-20k in rank. Who gives a ****, will that ever be remembered? No, so don't worry about it

    Are people going to be very upset when Bale subs on for the winner to break the deadlock? Showing form as a super sub. 🙂

      Do you mean super-expensive sub? Or, scores when we're a super six or seven goals up already sub? Or 'got a super new golf swing' sub?

    Pope
    Cancelo, Stones, Digne, Lowton
    Salah, Bruno, Son, Gundo, Raphinha
    DCL

    Johnstone | Bamford, Dallas, Antonio

    GTG?

      Yep, looks good

  24. Ronny Sandstone
    • 9 Years

    At what point would you consider using a WC after a -12?

    Currently on a -8 (gives me 10DGW players) ...but thinking -12 and get Ederson and he should play 4x in the next 2 GW, done with worrying about Cancelo being benched etc, Ive all my chips still if that makes a difference

    -8 gives me the usual suspects... Kane, DCL, Salah, Bruno, Sterling, Gundogan, Cancelo, plus a Villa defender and keep Rahphina, mainly missing Leicester assets

    cheers,

    Is Coufal to Digne worth a -4 or get Targett as he may have dgw in 28 plus in blank gw? Digne just seems so tempting

    1. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If Targett gets a DGW in 28 so does Digne, as the extra match would be Everton -Villa

  26. waltzingmatildas

    Which do you prefer until 31?
    A) watkins
    B) maja

    1. Tommy d
      • 6 Years

      A

    Would you do a -4 for

    Mee or dallas (no fh)
    To
    Digne/pereira/cancelo/stones (have dias)

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years

      Mee to cancelo

  28. Diro
    • 3 Years

    1) Keep my current team and do 1 or 2 transfers (-4) :
    Martinez (McCarthy)
    Konsa, Stones, Cancelo, (Justin, Dallas)
    Sterling, Fernandes, Son, Raphinha (Grealish)
    DCL, Bamford, Cavani

    2) First WC draft :
    Martinez, (Areola)
    Konsa, Stones, Cancelo, Targett (Dallas)
    Gundo, Barnes, Fernandes, Son (Raphinha)
    Kane, Vardy (Bamford)

    3) Second WC draft :
    Martinez (Stier)
    Konsa, Stones, Targett (Struijk, Mitchell)
    Salah, Fernandes, Gundo, Barnes, Son
    DCL, Vardy (Bamford)

    If I WC, the question is more : Do I sacrifice my team to have the magic 5 in the middle and especially Salah or not ? ^^

    Shaw or Targett is gonna score more?
    Afraid that Shaw may be benched Vs Palace

  30. tabby98

    Start 1:
    A) Lowton
    B) Dallas
    C) Bamford
