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.

    Shall I BB? I dont know when next GW is a good time for this lot
    Mendy (Forster)
    Coady, Fofana, Shaw (Rudiger, Phillips)
    Fernandes, Son, Salah, Jota, Lingard
    Kane (c), Iheanacho (Vydra)

      Why not save it for the potential DGW in 35?

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

        oh didnt know the might be, ill keep it. shall I TC?

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

          I think everyone agrees this might be the best week for TC on Kane.

          Depends on if you’re chasing or protecting though. TC Kane if protecting a lead, TC Son if chasing would be my advice.

        2. Il Capitano
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          I'd TC rather than BB

  2. bigdip
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Captain choice:
    A) Son
    B) Kane

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

      Kane. Don't overthink it.

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

        You're not tempted to do Son differential?

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

          I'm probably ignorant about the trouble choosing between the two as I don't have Son. But even if I did, think I'd go for Kane, as he has more motivation due to the golden boot. Son could ofcourse haul, but I feel Kane outscores him.

    2. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      B

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

      Kane

    4. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Son only if you want a differential. Kane is the best captaincy pick this week by an absolute mile.

      1. No Kane No Gain
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Kane is the only pick lol

    5. Mr Bird
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Kane all day.

  3. WE GO FOR IT
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Martinez | Areola
    Vetlman | Azpi | Digne | Shaw | Dawson
    Salah | Gundo | Lingard | Bruno | Jota
    Iheanacho | Kane | Maja

    GW32:
    The only way I can (and willing) to get Son is:
    Digne + Gundo -> 3.8m bench fodder + Son. Is it worth a hit?
    Digne was probably gonna be on my bench anyway. Also, Gundo might not play vs Villa.

    GW33:
    Plan would be to downgrade Son to Greenwood/Maddison and upgrade Dawson/3.8m bench fodder.
    Would be for hit as well. But Don't expect Dawson to do well vs Chelsea. So, a hit for maybe TAA is probably worth it. Also, Son to anyone who plays is a gain of 2 points anyway.

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

      I would do that, makes sense.

      Got a similar dilemma, except I either lose TAA & Gundo/Raph for Son & 4.5 (-4), or Salah/Bruno for Son for free.

      At the moment, leaning towards holding, and hoping for the best without Son.

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years

      You go for it

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Cheers both! 🙂

  4. Il Capitano

    Martinez
    Stones Digne Azpi
    Son Bruno Lingard Jota
    Kane (TC) Bamford Nacho

    Fabri - ESR Targett Cresswell*

    All set? Moved DCL + Gundo to Nacho + Son for a -4. Defence is looking a bit rough, would you consider another hit?

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

    Lacazette or Nacho?

    1. FPL Daniel

      Nacho

      1. In a Rush

    Mendy (Forster)
    Coady, Fofana, Shaw (Rudiger, Phillips)
    Fernandes, Son, Salah, Jota, Lingard
    Kane (c), Iheanacho (Vydra)

    What time is it?

    A) BB time
    B) TC time
    C) or neither time

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

      C

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

        how long time left though to use them...

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

      On B myself

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

    3 defenders to start please:

    a. Reguilon
    b. Holding
    c. Coady
    d. Trent
    e. Rudiger

    ???

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

      Easy as A B C

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

      ADE - CB bench order

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

      Haha that’s an amazing defence line!

      Think Regulion has to play with the DGW.

      If only 2 more, would do TAA and Rudiger/Coady.

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

        Thanks. Yeah, wildcarded last week.

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

          Front 7 of:

          Salah, Jota, Son, Lingard, Bruno
          Kane, Nacho

          So not much room for more that 3 defenders even with great fixtures for all 5!

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

            I have the same front 7. But shitty defenders so makes it easier for me to pick 3 🙂

        2. bigdip
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          when are you TC'ing?

  8. 03farmboy
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Jota out for Son good move or not?

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

      I wouldn't personally

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

      Not for me.

  9. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Which team?

    A) -8
    Martinez
    Azpi Dallas stones
    Son lingz salah jota Bruno
    Kane nacho

    Phillips veltman dcl

    B) FH
    Patricio
    Dallas taa shaw
    Son lingz pulisic jota Bruno
    Kane nacho

    Laca zouma holding

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Basically the same team. FH is worth more than those 8 points. A!

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

    Mount to moura (-4)
    A) yes
    B) no

    Mendy
    TAA alonso shaw
    Salah Bruno jota lingard
    Kane nacho
    (forster holding vydra veltman)

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      No

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

      B

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

      I wouldn’t. No clarity on how many minutes Moura gets, so not sure if DGW should be a factor. And Mount is standalone a good pick

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

      Thanks all. Will just stick then

    5. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      B

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

    idk what to do here? 1 FT and 0.6 ITB

    Still have WC

    Martinez

    Phillips Cresswell Stones

    Raphina Son Salah Jota Bruno

    Iheanacho Kane

    Forster Antonio Lowton Veltman

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Cresswell fit? Shaw maybe

  12. Jimjam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Martinez (Forster)
    Cancelo, Shaw, Rudiger (Dallas, Phillips)
    Salah, Fernandes Bale, Jota, Lingard
    Kane, Iheanacho (Bamford)

    0FT, 0.0 in bank

    Worth a -8 to get Son in for Bale (would need to downgrade Cancelo for funds)?

    Or just play Bale & hope / play Bamford/Dallas??

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Took a -8 to get son and now regret it but Coady could pay off

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

      I would do it.

      The way I see it, you’re losing 2 players with blanks in the coming week (Bale and Cancelo) for one player (Son)

      Not to mention, Mourinho hates Bale and Pep Roulette will keep Cancelo out given they’ve won the league.

      Saves you a transfer over the course of the remaining 7 GWs in my view.

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

        Not to mention Son will mostly play both GWs - which is more than what Bale and Cancelo combined might manage in GW32 🙂

  13. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Your help is needed please

    Which 2 to sell out of

    Dias
    Aina
    Stones
    DCL

    Any ideas would be welcomed

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

      Aina and DCL

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

      One of the City defenders has to go, given the blank next week.

      DCL if unfit, would wait for pressed.

  14. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I expected Alonso to be in the scout picks.

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

      i had expectations too, like shagging JLo etc

  15. Manani
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    who to start?

    A. Coady
    B. Rudiger (already have Mendy)

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

      A

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      A

  16. Pedaso Pirates
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    My squad:
    Mendy/Forster
    Coady/Holding/Reguilon/Dias/Phillips
    Lingard/Son/Bruno/Salah/Jota
    Kane (C) Nacho/Vydra

    BB this week yes/no?
    Is there a better week to come?

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

    is this crazy?

    Cresswell + Raphina ---> Shaw + Lingard (-4)?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      No sounds good

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

      Do it.

  18. Erez Avni
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Would really appreciate some help here...

    Areola (Martinez)

    Dias Shaw Cresswell Dallas (Burn)
    Lingard Bruno Son Jota (Gundo)
    Kane DCL (Bamford)

    The plan is bringing Nacho for DCL but should I bring also TAA for cresswell for a hit or just play Bamford?

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

      Long term think it makes sense to get TAA. He’s in red hot form, and potentially very good fixture for him.

      Would take a hit.

      1. Erez Avni
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        cheers man I think I will take the hit

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

      Tough one, but I'd go for just the one - dcl to nacho

  19. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    A gundo to lingard for free
    B gundo to son for a hit

    Please help 🙂

        TAA is a shout but I think WBA will score v Leicester

          Taa in for rob holding

    2. RogDog_jimmy

      TAA in for Holding 100000%
      Also I'd shift Wood ahead of Fofana on the bench.

    Raphinha -> Son for a hit? (own Kane)

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

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

      I would do it. Son can easily cover the -4 points over 2 games.

    Mendy
    Trent - Stones - Rudiger
    Salah (C) - Bruno - Son - Jota - Gundogan
    Kane - Iheanacho

    (Forster) - (DCL** - Holding - Amartey) 0.0 ITB

    What to do here? Could take a hit to replace DCL and bring in JLingz for Gundo. If not, then DCL to who?

    Cheers!

      Captain Salah with both Kane and Son in the team. Brave!

    Ricardo Pereira or Robbo for a fun agressive punt for the next 3 GW?

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

      Pereira

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

      Pereira

  27. The 12th Man

    Thinking about doing this...
    This week. Bamford > Iheanacho giving me this...

    Lloris
    TAA,Shaw,Alonso
    Fernandes, Son, Lingard, Jota
    Kane,Lacazette,Iheanacho

    Mendy,Rüdiger,Raphinia,Cresswell

    Wk 33. Fernandes > Salah , Mendy > Sanchez.

    1. dunas_dog

      Yes from me

  28. Jimmy Boy

    Jota or Greenwood? (Free hitting in 33 if that makes any difference)

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

      I’d be going Jota and looking at Cavani.

    2. The chocolate leg
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I like Greenwood!

    Play Fofana or Holding?

    1. The chocolate leg
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      tough call but west brom have been in better form than Fulham of late so I think Holding edges it for me (assuming he gets through today's EL match unscathed)

    Am I crazy for considering giving the (c) to Lingard ahead of Kane?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

        Classic case of Lingarditis
