Scout Picks

Double Gameweek 32 Scout Picks XI includes Spurs triple-up

As they prepare to face Everton and Southampton over the next few days, Spurs assets form the spine of our Double Gameweek 32 Scout Picks.

We have chosen three of their players for the latest round of games while Liverpool and Manchester United provide a pair of double-ups.

Our Scout Picks, chosen from DavidNealeTom and Andy‘s Scout Squad submissions, line up in 4-4-2 formation this week, coming in at £79.6m, £3.4m inside our budget of £83.0m. 

Goalkeeper

Hugo Lloris (£5.6m) is our chosen representative from the Spurs defence ahead of their two fixtures in the Double Gameweek. José Mourinho’s goalkeeper is the most likely to feature significantly in both matches. Everton drew 0-0 with Brighton last time out and Southampton have failed to score in three of their last five away matches; so a clean sheet is hardly an unexpected outcome for Lloris.

Defenders

Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.4m) is right back where Fantasy Premier League managers have come to expect him: one of the best creative defenders in the division. Over his last six matches, he is top among all FPL defenders for key passes and big chances, producing 44 points in that time (7.3 per game).

Luke Shaw (£5.3m) is not far behind Alexander-Arnold over the last six, providing four clean sheets and a goal in that time for a total of 38 points. His 10 key passes keep the left-back in the top-five defenders during the same period.

Conor Coady (£4.9m) and his Wolves colleagues went some way to helping out the fixtures-over-form camp in their 1-0 win over Fulham on Friday night. That suggests he can be trusted again when Sheffield United come to Molineux for their delayed Double Gameweek 32 match. The Blades have scored just seven away goals in 15 attempts this season, the worst in the Premier League.

Rob Holding (£4.2m) remains a helpful value option in defence with Fulham coming to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Over the last six matches, the Cottagers are in the Premier League’s bottom five for big chances while no side has a worse goal conversion rate (4.5%).

Midfielders

Injury updates on Son, Saka, and Burn ahead of BGW29 and Aubameyang latest

Bruno Fernandes (£11.6m) might only have two attacking returns since Double Gameweek 26 but a Sunday afternoon meeting with Burnley could change all that. The Clarets are on the longest run of any side in the division without a clean sheet and, over their last six, are in the bottom-three for expected goals conceded (xGC).

Son Heung-min (£9.4m) is the second of our three Spurs players for the Double Gameweek. Everton have just one clean sheet at home since Gameweek 13 while Southampton are the Premier League’s fourth-worst side for xGC over the last matches. Over the same period, Son is top of the division for big chances created.

Following a midweek rest, Diogo Jota (£7.0m) looks more likely than his attacking colleagues to start against Leeds for Liverpool on Monday night. The mid-priced midfielder has three goals across his last three Premier League outings.

Jesse Lingard (£6.5m) is the division’s man-in-form after a fifth double-digit haul of the campaign in just his ninth appearance. Considering only two players in the Premier League can boast more shots on target than Lingard over the last six matches, his output looks sustainable at least for now. In Double Gameweek 32, West Ham face a Newcastle outfit that has conceded at least two goals in nine of their last 14 league matches.

Forwards

How Spurs' FPL assets fared in their final match before Double Gameweek 32 7

As already mentioned, Spurs’ fixtures in Double Gameweek 32 look very appealing from an attacking perspective. Harry Kane (£11.7m) is an obvious inclusion in the Scout Picks then considering he is joint-top of the Premier League for big chances and shots on target over the last six matches.

Kelechi Iheanacho (£6.0m) is one of two players level with Kane for big chances during that period and is just one shot on target behind him too. It is no surprise the Leicester forward has produced seven goals since Double Gameweek 26. West Bromwich Albion have made some defensive improvements recently but still have just one clean sheet away from home this season.

Substitutes

  • Rui Patrício (£5.3m)
  • Arthur Masuaku (£4.3m)
  • Gabriel Martinelli (£4.9m)
  • Callum Wilson (£6.5m)

THE CAPTAIN

Who are the best captain options for FPL Gameweek 36+?

We choose the Scout Picks captain using a four-way vote between our Scout Squad pundits.

Because we use Fantasy Football Scout data so heavily in this process, the skipper we choose each Gameweek is known only to those with a valid Fantasy Football Scout subscription and revealed to the public only when the deadline has passed.

Here’s how we voted for Double Gameweek 32:

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 team by the largest margin will win a £100 Amazon Voucher and a place in our Moderators and Contributors League for the following season.

Little Red Lacazette takes on the Scout Picks in Double Gameweek 32 going with a 3-5-2 line-up of Lloris (vc); Dias, Shaw, Coady; Salah, Son (vc), Mount, Jota, Lingard; Kane (c), Iheanacho.

AA33 is the current leader, defeating the Scout Picks by a 53-point margin in Gameweek 2.

      No

    2. Baps hunter

      Nope

    Good to go?
    Mendy
    Trent Shaw Coady
    Salah Jota Lingard Bruno Son

    1. rick ding whoop
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Good team

  4. School of Poch
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Play 3 (order other 2 on bench)

    A TAA
    B Shaw
    C Holding
    D Masuaku
    E Coady

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      A B E C D in that order

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Why Masuaku the lowest, if he's playing OOP surely he has more goal threat?

        Not disagreeing, just curious on reasons as I'm struggling to decide.

        1. zotter
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          All good options. But hammers aren’t keeping sheets and their fixture isn’t that great.

          1. School of Poch
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Yeah I've just looked at their last few fixtures and they're not doing too well defensively

        2. RogDog_jimmy
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          he's hardly that threatening really
          but to me it's toss-up between Masuaka and Coady for 4/5.
          Probably similar attacking threat - one from random assists the other from corners.

          1. School of Poch
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            So you'd start Holding over Coady?

  5. marquinhos
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Son or Kane TC?

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

      Kane

    2. Kno
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      arrry

  6. Mike82
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    2 questions if I may guys and gals;

    1 - I want to TC Kane, do we think he starts both games what with the Cup Final?

    2- is DCL available tmrw or is it worth -4 to get in Ian Nacho, already used my FT?

    Thanks in advance.

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      1. Yes he will 99pc
      2. Wait until presser. If DCL out , I would do that for -4 (assuming your bench option is poor )

      1. Mike82
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Soucek, Coufal or Watkins, I am.half tempted to BB tbh

  7. shearer9
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Is Reguilon nailed for the double? If not, are any spurs defenders?

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Hugo is

      1. In a Rush

  10. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Ain't the deadline tomorrow?

    The picks being announced now got ne scared for missing the deadline

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Fri 6:30pm

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yes, Scout Picks for Friday deadlines are normally released earlier that afternoon.

    3. BurlingtonDriftersFC
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      scared me too - I checked the schedule straight away

    4. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      And me!

  11. aleksios
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    G2g and bench right?
    1ft 2.3itb.

    --Leno
    --TAA--Alonso--Azpi--Coady
    --Salah--Son--Lingard--Jota
    --Kane--Nacho

    --Forster--Fofana--Gundo--Wood.

    Thanks all.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Gundo ahead of Fofana. LEI won't keep a CS and Fofana has little attacking potential

    2. zotter
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      All good. Great squad

  12. royaljoe
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Kane TC?

    any better future options for TC?

    (Don't trust spurs at the minute though)

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yup go for it

  13. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Plan is to roll the FT. I think I'm GTG here pending pressers tomorrow.

    Defence and bench in the right order?

    1FT 0ITB
    Mendy
    Alonso TAA Holding
    Son Lingard Salah Jota Bruno
    Kane Nacho
    (Forster Rudiger Dallas Davis)

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I would play Rudi over holding.

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I'm already starting Mendy and Alonso. Probably best to reduce the risk a little and not triple up. They have been conceding of late

  14. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    No Salah in the picks

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Which is a good thing if you own him

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Probably due to fans thinking he is due a rest

      1. zotter
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Salah will play every minute from now to end of season. Machine

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          I hope so. Klopp needs to go all out for top 4. Is he willing to play all 4 FWDs or stick to 3 and if 3 who will drop out?

          1. zotter
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Some games all four. Otherwise other three rotate

            1. Tonyawesome69
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              If Klopp rotates the front 3 then surely Salah will have to get rested at some point

          2. Philosopher's Stones
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            I own Jota, and hope he is benched more often, as he seems more dangerous coming on against tired defenders. Coming on for the final 30 minutes or so, that's when he seems to thrive the most.

  15. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Start one:

    A: Martinez (MCI) home
    B: Sanchez (Liv) away

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Martinez - save points

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks

    2. PascalCygan

      A

      1. Philosopher's Stones

        Thanks

  16. In a Rush
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Evening all, who to lose for son?

    A. Gundogen
    B. Raphina
    C. Trossard

    And aguero(yep massive punt fail last week) to -4 own nacho & Kane
    1. Laca
    2. Cavani
    3.Other suggestions

    Cheers in advance

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      A/C and I'm not convinced with any other FWDs except Kane and Nacho at the moment. Downgrade him to fodder?

      1. In a Rush
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers yeah wish I didn’t take the punt now because no forwards really stand out for me either. May go laca if they get knocked out tonight but I guess a big rotation risk if they don’t.

        1. In a Rush
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Have 7.7 Itb so don’t really need fodder.

        2. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          That is the problem with Laca. I have no idea if he is more nailed if Arsenal either progress or drop out the Europa

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Tricky. Between Gundogan & Raphinha for me.

      We don't know who Pep will start vs. AVL, but as it's sandwiched between FA Cup Semi & League Cup Final (+ PSG after that), it feels like if there's a place to rest him, it's that fixture.

      If it helps, I'm probably selling him this week - but don't base your moves on my bad decisions!

      Raphinha depends on the injury. He's worth getting back in a few games time probably, but I see Trossard as being a good candidate to lose after the next two weeks,so that could be your route.

      Trossard - bad fixture this week, but worth holding for SHU in my opinion (maybe LEE, maybe not). As mention can become Raphinha/other afterwards.

      1. In a Rush
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Nice one cheers for your thoughts I think all things considered with rotation and a blank it should probably be gundogen.

  17. evilfish
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Bench one please:

    a) Rudiger
    b) Coufal
    c) Fofana

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      B

    2. In a Rush
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      That is tricky! Who are your other 2 ?

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

        TAA and Veltman who has already won a place on my bench.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      C - LEI won't keep a CS against an improved WBA and his attacking potential is minimal

      1. In a Rush
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah agree with this wba should score in their form

    4. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Coufal easily for me

      Newcastle attack is a different beast with Wilson and ASM back in and WH have conceded almost as many goals as they have scored in the last three.

  18. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Any United experts about?

    I'm now edgy about Raph and have been thinking about Greenwood for a couple of weeks now. What are the permutations for him starting in the next two? Had been hopeful that he'd be more or less as nailed as he was at the end of last season when Martial dropped out.

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

      I’m not a United expert but am going for Greenwood unless he plays a full 90 tonight

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

        Trying to see if there is any pattern to the OGS selections.

        On the face of it there should be room for all of Bruno Rashford Cavani and Greenwood to start provided Pogba is back in a double pivot as per Spurs. But if Pogba starts further upfield then one of Cavani or Greenwood drops out. Haven't really been following United closely enough to know how OGS varies things. Does opposition come into it?

        My need to avoid - Greenwood and Jota feels slightly dicey over 2 game weeks. Pity.

  19. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Ah, I kinda didn't want Holding to pop up in the Scouts XI.

    Had a good long think the other night & decided on him being the enabler I wanted for Salah/TAA, this week or so... obviously will just be a little more popular now! 😆

    Not that he was a hidden gem, mind.

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Ha, same! He's been decent for bonus points on the occasions i've had him this season too

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      yeah u made him sound like British Baresi tbh

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Sol Campbell regen tbh.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He is still only 4.1% TSB.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yep. It's more people in my private league who will look to places like FFS however!

  20. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Start Holding or Rudiger? Already have Mendy.

    Also with Son probably rising tonight, no reason in waiting to bring him in, is there?

    My one-week Sterling punt did not work...

    Cheers!

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Mourinho already done his presser today and didn't mention Son having any injuries so good to go tonight with that move imo.

      Toss-up between the two. I'm starting Holding over Rudiger as I'm already playing Mendy and Alonso

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Nice one, thanks.

    2. In a Rush
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah do sterling ➡️ Son just wait for tonight’s games to play out if you have players involved.

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers, will do!

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

      Would start Rudiger. Fulham have been unlucky, but they’re in the fight to stay up and will attack.
      I feel Arsenal won’t keep a CS.

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks

  21. Hiddenpaw
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    A) Bring in Salah
    B) bring in Jota
    C) keep sterling

    1. In a Rush
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      A for me

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      A and B

    3. LakhaneeFC
      • 7 Years

      To be fair, stats aside, Sterling is having a singularly bad season from an FPL point of view. Would get rid.

      I think Salah is a better option if you have the cash, and doesn’t mess up the rest of your team. If not, then Jota

      Can do a pretty simple straight swap for salah, I think that might be the best option too

    Guys, good to go for the long long week of GW32?

    Areola (Martinez)
    Dias Regulion Shaw (Struijk Cresswell)
    Son Bruno Lingard Salah Jota
    Kane(C) Nacho (Davis)

    Took a hit to get Salah in, and a 4.2m enabler in attack.

    Would you change anything?

      Yep, good to go. Good luck.

    Chasing in my ML (about 50 off top), everyone likely to have Kane captain and leaders also likely to TC him. I have just TC too.

    Do I TC Kane hoping my other players swing it for me from now till end of season or should I punt on TC Son?

    1. Miguel Sanchez

      Play TC on Kane. 50 points isnt that much with 7 GWs left.

      1. FPL_WILDCARD
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah, thought I might be overthinking it, cheers

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

      Yup - can’t bench him again now

      Yep. My bench is Watkins Veltman and Brewster so kinda have to

    Oh wow I have 9 of the scout players, does this spell trouble??? Which 2 to play between Holding, Shaw, Fofana and Coady?

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Shaw and Coady for me

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

      Shaw for sure. I would take Coady over Holding this week.

    Is lacazette worth a shout over Ian Nacho?

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Maybe. I already own Lacazette.
      He has good fixtures too.
      I’m deliberating whether to do Bamford > Iheanacho and bench Rüdiger.
