The Scout Squad’s best FPL players for Double Gameweek 32

The Scout Squad panel are back to champion the stand-out picks for Gameweek 32, which happens to be a ‘double’ for Tottenham Hotspur – so there is no surprise that three of our four writers have opted for a triple-up on the Lilywhites, despite their patchy form.

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 18:30 GMT on Friday.

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

After a Gameweek 31 clean sheet against Sheffield United, I think we can trust Arsenal for more defensive returns this time out, which is why I have included Bernd Leno and Rob Holding in my latest selection.

Over their last six home matches, the Gunners rank joint-sixth for the fewest goals conceded while Fulham have blanked in four of their past seven Premier League outings.

Despite going back-to-back games without a shut-out, I still believe there are clean sheets to be had from Chelsea as they remain best in the division for expected goals conceded over the last six matches. As ever, Edouard Mendy and César Azpilicueta are the most nailed-on options to capitalise on that.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has rediscovered his Fantasy form with 44 points across his last six matches and back-to-back double-digit hauls in Gameweeks 30 and 31. I think he can sustain that against Leeds considering that, over those six matches, no FPL defender has matched Liverpool’s right-back for key passes or big chances created.

Ahead of facing Burnley, Luke Shaw remains in the top five defenders for key passes over the same period.

Meanwhile, Conor Coady is the most nailed-on Wolves defender as they prepare to host a Sheffield United outfit that has scored seven away goals in 15 attempts this season.

Son Heung-min remains top of the Premier League for big chances created over the last six matches, so his two matches against a porous Southampton backline and unreliable Everton defence make him a solid option.

Jesse Lingard should continue his impressive form against a Newcastle outfit that has conceded at least two goals in nine of their last 14 Premier League outings. Just two players in the whole division have registered more shots on target than the West Ham midfielder across his last six matches. He also ranks inside the league’s top five for shots in the box and big chances over the same period, strongly hinting that his form is sustainable.

Mohamed Salah now has goals in back-to-back league games and sits top of the division for shots in the box over his last six matches, so I am backing him to get something against Leeds on Monday night.

Harry KaneChris Wood and Kelechi Iheanacho are among my favourite forwards for Double Gameweek 32. They join Lingard inside the Premier League’s best assets for most shots on target over the last six.

NEALE SAID

For those Fantasy bosses who like to have every morsel of information at their disposal before making transfer plans, Gameweek 32 is a bit of a nightmare.

With the matches so spread out over the coming week, a maximum of just 12 Premier League managers will hold their official pre-match press conferences before Friday’s Fantasy Premier League deadline.

Chelsea, Manchester City, Southampton and Leicester City are also in FA Cup semi-final action before their midweek Gameweek 32 fixtures, so for the champions-elect and the Blues in particular, second-guessing line-ups is a fool’s errand at this early stage.

I’ve therefore gone without players from Chelsea and City, not because I don’t think their respective fixtures offer the potential for points but because I simply have little clue who will take to the field in a week’s time.

It’s a similar-ish situation with Arsenal at the time of writing but they at least are in Europa League action on Thursday evening, giving us 24 hours to tweak our Gunners selections.

Calum Chambers and Gabriel Martinelli are my two differential punts from Mikel Arteta’s squad for now and I’m hoping that both are rested in the Czech Republic: the surprisingly attack-minded Chambers has created five chances in his last four outings from full-back (the same as Luke Shaw), while Martinelli has impressed at home and abroad in recent weeks and racked up four shots in a positive Gameweek 31 display.

Two-thirds of the Tottenham Hotspur triple-up requires little explanation, while Hugo Lloris is selected purely because of the impending EFL Cup final, which falls four days after the second half of Spurs’ Gameweek 32 double-header. Ben Davies may be injured but the proximity of that clash with City and the fact that Japhet Tanganga has prior experience at left-back leads me away from Sergio Reguilon and towards the nailed goalkeeper behind him.

Not that I fully trust the Lilywhites’ defence anyway, with nine big chances conceded in a wide-open last two matches. Richarlison, whose move to a centre-forward role has led to an upturn in his attacking numbers, is also included in my squad as a consequence.

West Ham’s own struggles at the back (seven goals conceded in their last three) have been exacerbated by the loss of Declan Rice, so I’ve plumped for the fit-again Callum Wilson as one of my strikers. The Newcastle front-man has been involved in 64% of the Magpies’ goals this season (no first-choice FPL forward can better that), so if Steve Bruce’s side does find the back of the net, the chances are that Wilson will have played a part.

Slightly hedging my bets, I’ve also included Arthur Masuaku: West Ham’s offensive-minded left wing-back should enjoy his afternoon on Tyneside, as Newcastle have allowed more crosses and chances to be created from their right flank than any other team – both in the last six matches and over the whole of 2020/21.

I’m hoping that Pedro Neto’s unfortunate injury and the return of Willy Boly forces Nuno Espirito Santo to field a back three, as Wolves look much more solid (albeit less attacking) when they’re in a 3-4-3. Much has been made of Conor Coady’s new-found threat but Boly has still racked up more penalty box touches and goal attempts than his fellow centre-half in his last six appearances, so I’ll opt for the pricier Ivory Coast international as a result.

Finally, Edinson Cavani’s impressive goal conversion rate of 25% is bettered by only two FPL forwards this season. With Anthony Martial crocked and Burnley on the longest clean sheet drought in the division, I’ll happily add the clinical Uruguayan to my Manchester United contingent of Bruno Fernandes and Shaw.

TOM SAID…

Hugo Lloris is my first-choice goalkeeper for Gameweek 32. Though Tottenham Hotspur’s defence has looked shaky in recent weeks, they play twice against Everton and Southampton, and the Frenchman is at least assured of two starts.

I’ve also selected Chelsea’s Edouard Mendy, who has kept seven clean sheets in 11 Premier League matches under Thomas Tuchel, and Bernd Leno.

At the back, Luke Shaw is my top pick, followed closely by Conor Coady and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Meanwhile, Calum Chambers is my preferred budget defender this week. Against Sheffield United on Sunday, Arsenal set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation with Granit Xhaka dropping in at left-back. With the Swiss international spending most of the game inside his own half, it allowed his teammate on the opposite flank, Chambers, the opportunity to regularly bomb forward and join the attack. It was a performance reminiscent of his second-half showing at West Ham United, and is encouraging with Fulham up next – only Crystal Palace have conceded more chances from their left flank since the turn of the year.

Ricardo Pereira, who produced his first assist of the season in Gameweek 31, completes the defensive picks.

Further forward, the inclusions of Spurs duo Son Heung-min and Harry Kane, plus Mohamed Salah and Bruno Fernandes, largely speak for themselves, so I’ll dedicate a bit more time to some of my other selections.

After a third goal in four appearances last weekend, Mason Greenwood gets a call-up. Despite only being on the pitch for 18 minutes against Spurs, the youngster made a real impact, and if Paul Pogba is to continue in a more advanced role, where he has the vision and ability to quickly switch play, Greenwood could be the one to benefit. I also like Jesse Lingard, who is the Premier League’s in-form player, providing eight goals and four assists since arriving in east London, plus Kelechi Iheanacho, who seems to be the striker benefitting most from Leicester City’s formation change.

The forward list is completed by Alexandre Lacazette, Dominic Calvert-Lewin (providing he is fit) and Callum Wilson.

ANDY SAID

Even outside of triple Spurs for Double Gameweek 32, picking players this week felt a bit easier than normal and I actually had to leave some top assets out like Bruno Fernandes. I’ve only done this because I fancy Kevin De Bruyne to start now he’s had a Premier League rest.

While we all know Manchester City are likely to win the league, I can’t imagine that they will want to keep dropping points along the way. In the last six Gameweeks. De Bruyne has had eight shots in the box compared to Fernandes’ three, with Aston Villa conceding 9.95 expected goals over that same period (making them the fifth-worst team in the league).

Despite some observations that maybe Leeds will learn to be cautious in games versus teams like Man City and Liverpool, I think it’s too early to think they’re a completely different team – so I’m fully backing the Reds. No player has had more shots than Mohamed Salah (16) in the last six Gameweeks and, even with nearly 200 fewer minutes in that same time, Diogo Jota has managed nine with two big chances. 

It’s impossible to leave Kelechi Iheanacho out at the moment: over the season, he has an expected goal involvement (xGI) every 132.4 minutes. I haven’t lost complete faith in Jamie Vardy just yet, either, as his minutes-per-xGI (124.9) betters his strike partner. While the Foxes are playing two up front, there is of course another player to take some of those shots away. Vardy’s stats are indeed down versus Iheanacho over a small sample size, but the above numbers show that he’s fully capable and has a great fixture.

    GTG and bench order correct guys..?

    Sterling punt didn't work out last GW so already used my FT Sterling > Son.

    3. Abra Dubravka

      I’m currently benching Jota for Holding, but it’s difficult

      1. Geriatric Unathletic
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Really. Should be an open attacking game especially now Pool out of Champions League. Jota played less than half a game too so fresher than most.

      2. Steiger
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Would definitely play Jota over Holding for sure.

    4. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Apart from my Bruno to your Maddison, identical including bench order and therefore guaranteed a MONSTER haul :).

      1. Steiger
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Gonna do Son > Bruno next GW

  3. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    Is it worth getting Coady in for Targett (FT) and playing ahead of Dallas?

    Martinez
    AWB Rudiger Dallas
    Lingard Jota Son Bruno
    Watkins Kane(c) Vardy

    Pope* Raph* Cresswell* Targett

    1. Sho-kun
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      for short term yes

    2. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      If you think Wolves will keep a clean sheet then yes. Dallas has as good, in fact better chance of an attacking return than Coady.

  4. Aaa
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Digne, Gundo & Raph -> Phillips, Son & Smith-Rowe (-8)?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Nope, any other route to Son?

      1. Abra Dubravka
        • 5 Years

        This.

      2. Aaa
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Not that I can think of, might have to chance it on Moura or a Def which I know isnt great.

        Johnstone/Martinez
        TAA/Digne/Cancelo/James/Velt
        Salah/Bruno/Gundo/Raph/Lingard

          What Miguel says.

  7. marcos11
    • 3 Years

    Gundogan > Lingard worth a -4 this week? Might be able to do it for free next week.

    1. Sho-kun
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      yes

      1. Geriatric Unathletic
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Probably. But Gundo could also return a score too. Also depends on rest of your Team but as City dont play 33 then more of a bonus and less risk to do now.

  8. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Best captain this GW if chasing?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Son

    2. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Son probably?

    3. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Son/Bruno if you have him

    4. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      There is a reason Kane is overwhelming favourite. Don't try to be too smart when there are still plenty weeks to go .

  9. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    After the double, which combo?

    A) Vydra/Salah
    B) Son/Bamford

    Current:
    Jota, Son, Raphina, Bruno, Lingard,
    Kane, Bamford, Watkins

    1. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Want Leeds boys back for 36 onward deffo. You have other viable Captains and Spuds have a decent run, so probably B for me.

  10. Weeb Kakashi

    Need your views on potential transfers:

    Martinez/Areola
    Regulion Shaw Dias Cresswell (Struijk)
    Bruno Gundo Son Lingard Jota
    Kane Ihenacho (Watkins)

    What transfers would you make?

    The issues, as I see it:
    - Get Salah or TAA (can’t get both and have Jota)?
    - Time to drop Gundo?
    - Chelsea defender or swap Martinez for Mendy?
    - Is Bruno essential?

    Advice would be super helpful!

    1. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      The issues, as I see it:
      - Get Salah or TAA (can’t get both and have Jota)? - Get TAA.
      - Time to drop Gundo? - Yes
      - Chelsea defender or swap Martinez for Mendy? - Regullion to Che Def deffo.
      - Is Bruno essential? - Absolutely not, no one is. However you take a risk that he will punish you if not owning. Will you need to Captain then yes, if not and the funds help elsewher then No. Plenty of mid price mids that tick all boxes at present so probably more of a luxury if you have the £££'s

      Watchlist - Maddsion, Raphina (36+),

      1. LakhaneeFC
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks a lot! This was super helpful!

        TAA and dropping Gundo will make my life a lot easier.

        Regulion post DGW has to go, but can’t get him out in GW32 (I know he will likely not play both, but need one attacking return over 2 GWs)

        Regarding Maddison, definitely will look to have him back in once he starts (mostly in place of Bruno if I can find the balls for it)

        I also need to move Cresswell out given the injury, and have to take a call or Dias - league is won, chasing many titles, Pep Roulette has finally caught up with him as well.

        Painful last stretch to make the top 10K OR 🙂

        With Bruno, the EO at my OR is scary - not having him will tank my rank every week.

    Any thoughts on the below moves?
    Dias>Shaw to enable me to move Tierney>TAA

    Removing Dias to help with lack of gw 33, also be as well holding Bale this week and get rid next.

    Martinez
    Dias*,Tierney*, Stones
    Bruno, Son, Bale, Lingard
    Kane (C), Nacho, Watkins

    Areola, Digne, Dallas, Raphina

    1. Pompel
      • 10 Years

      Good move. Other options than Shaw are Semedo, Coady, Coufal, all who on paper have better fixtures

      1. Hig1990

  16. Pompel
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    just scouted Man city forums , they seem to fancy Dias + Laporte cb pairing for the FAC semi-final. In that case, decent chance Stones starts against Villa, no?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Isn't Laporte injured

        1. lilmessipran
          • 11 Years

          Was on the bench yesterday, so I'd say no

      • noquarternt

        They have no insight beyond what people on here write.

        1. Pompel
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          True that, but there's something to be said of "wisdom of the crowd" , at least with respect to what's most likely. I've been debating whether to ditch for Reguilon for a hit, but now thinking there's a decent chance he starts, so I will hold

    2. The White Pele
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bale, Gundo, Antonio to Salah, Lingard, Nacho (-8). yay or nay?

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah I think so

    3. Kaptenen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Good moves?
      Gundo, Stones, Watkins --> Jota, Castagne, Vydra

      1. Kaptenen
        • 7 Years

        2 FT:s

      2. noquarternt
        • 8 Years

        Wouldn't be losing Watkins personally,

        See what can be done with just Gundo and Stones out

        I'm not 100% sold on Leicester defense. Looked very open v WHU. I would want to see how they get on this week. Otherwise all good moves.

      Is Ricardo Perreira nailed?

        When fit he is one of there best players

    5. Groß Misconduct

      1) Gundo to Lingard [-4]
      2) KDB to Salah [-4]
      3) Gundo+KDB to Salah+Lingard [-4] but Forster/Martinez in goal instead of Lloris

        I reckon you go for 3. Assuming you already have Son.

      How safe do you think Rodon is for the double? Can't afford higher than 5.1...

      Not seen much talk about triple captain. TC Kane this week likely to be the best option for the rest of the season right?

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        If I had it, I'd be using it

        Very much so ..

      3. noquarternt
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        think most have used it previously, this feels like the last good opportunity of course though

      4. Netters2018

        I am using mine just stuck between Kane and Son, I am chasing in my ML so thinking of going Son. Not sure if I am trying to be to smart for my own good though and should just stick with Kane.

    8. waltzingmatildas

      Team looks decent, but only Kane for the double :
      Mendy
      TAA alonso shaw
      Salah Bruno mount jota lingard
      Kane nacho
      (forster holding vydra veltman)
      0ft 0itb

      Which looks best? Willing to gamble a bit
      A) bruno to son
      B) mount to moura
      C) alonso to reguilon
      D) nothing, gtg

      1. noquarternt
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        C or D I reckon, good team.

        1. Kebab pig
          • 3 Years

          Thank you. What about west ham?

    10. TeddiPonza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Any better GK option on WC than Martinez? Always seems to get at least 4 points despite conceding 2 goals...

      1. noquarternt
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Ederson I guess? Maybe Alisson?

        But yeah Martinez is the GOAT

      2. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Leno is a decent option for the rest of the season

    11. J to the T
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Any update on Agueros fitness? Worth holding for a punt?

    12. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      How many of these moves can backfire?

      Azpi to Trent
      Cresswell to Coady
      Rudiger to Holding
      Raphinha to Jota
      Soucek to Lingard
      Wood to Iheanacho

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Hmm, I guess they all could. But they are fairly decent options. Whether they will be worth a hit or not, I'm not sure

      2. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Cresswell could be out for a few weeks & Matsu has taken his forward position anyway.
        Lingz was obvious 8 or 9 weeks ago once he started firing
        Nacho read as above

      3. Groß Misconduct
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Right now, they all seem solid. Rudi the only one I'd contend, but, he'll most likely start all the cup games and be rested in between for Silva or Cristensen now that he's back

    13. J to the T
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Is Aguero and Rafinha to Watkins and Son for a -4 worth it?

      Would mean benching Watkins this week and playing Son (versus playing Aguero with Rudiger as first sub).

      Would leave me with three spurs so need to lose Regulion before the blank.

    14. Salarrivederci
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      2 FTs and 1.1 ITB

      Gundogan, JWP & Lookman -> Lingard, Bowen & Pereira (-4)?
      Gives me:

      Areola
      Cancelo - Azpi - Coady
      Salah - Fernandes - Lingard - Bowen - Pereira
      (TC) Kane - DCL

      (Martínez, Digne, Watkins, Targett)

    15. Newsman70

      The obvious transfer is Son this week but who is the other one as I am 0.1 short of a Gundo to Son move? I am not sure I want a Spurs defender to have to move out the next week. I will WC as soon as the fixtures are confirmed for a possible DBGWK. Any thoughts most appreciated!

      Team

      Martinez Steer
      Shaw Creswell Cancelo Vestergaard Veltman
      Gündogan Bruno Lingard Salah Raphinha
      Bamford Kane Iheanacho

      1. CapK
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Cancello > Holding / Rudiger to do Cresswell > TAA week after or something along those lines...

        1. Newsman70
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Thanks Yes I thought Cancello was the next out but shouldn't he start as he didnt play at all in CL?

          1. CapK
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            He could well start, but there are definitely more nailed defenders with similar ceilings, such as TAA.

            Ask yourself - does a 50/50 cancello beat Holding + TAA from now until end of season?

            1. Newsman70
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              Thats a very good point and I like your line of thinking. TAA is definitely in my Wildcard team and I wish there was a way to get him in this week.

              1. Newsman70
                • 11 Years
                2 years, 11 months ago

                I miss the move of Creswell to TAA by 0.2 so I would also have to move Raphina to a cheaper mid to make it work and an additional transfer. So may have to wait until my wildcard. I dont think I will go for any Spurs defenders for Cancello but.....??

                1. CapK
                  • 3 Years
                  2 years, 11 months ago

                  If you are chasing play Cancello then and cross your fingers! Good luck!

                    2 years, 11 months ago

                    Leading in my mini league so make the four transfers for two -4s to get TAA then i guess is your strategy?
