Scout Picks

FPL Gameweek 2 Scout Picks built on Liverpool triple-up

As they prepare to face Burnley in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off, three Liverpool players form the spine of our Gameweek 2 Scout Picks.

After Sam, Az, Neale and Tom submitted their Scout Squad selections earlier this week, we have chosen our best players ahead of tomorrow’s 11.00 BST deadline.

We line up in a 4-3-3 formation and come in at £82.7m, just under our £83.0m budget.

GOALKEEPER

Salah and blanks again as Brighton defensive assets shine ahead of good run 3

Brighton and Hove Albion’s Robert Sánchez (£4.5m) is our chosen goalkeeper in Gameweek 2 ahead of a favourable home fixture against Watford. 

Despite last weekend’s first-half jitteriness at Turf Moor, Albion had the second-best expected goals conceded (xGC) total from open play in Gameweek 1.

If they can sharpen up defending set-pieces, we’re backing them to keep a clean sheet against a Hornets side who could only boast the sixth-best attacking record in the Championship last season.

DEFENDERS

The best mid-price and premium FPL defenders for 2021/22 1

We’ve doubled up on Liverpool’s backline ahead of their Gameweek 2 meeting with Burnley, via Trent Alexander Arnold (£7.5m) and Kostas Tsimikas (£4.1m).

Both full-backs have the potential to deliver points at both ends of the pitch, and shared corner-taking duties at Carrow Road last time out.

It may potentially be the last time we can call on Tsimikas for a while, too, given the news that Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) returned to full-training earlier today.

Having Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) back, as well as both Joel Matip (£5.0m) and Joe Gomez (£5.0m), will surely boost the Reds’ clean sheet count in the coming weeks, while a capacity crowd at Anfield can also be an important factor. In fact, the Reds have lost their opening home league fixture only twice since 1966/67.

Luke Shaw (£5.5m) also offers significant assist potential, and was perhaps unfortunate not to return more than his solitary point against Leeds United in Gameweek 1. Having carried on his Euro 2020 form and played a crucial pass in the build-up to Manchester United’s second goal, he carries real potential as the Red Devils visit Southampton.

Rúben Dias (£6.0m) takes up the final spot in our backline after an impressive 2020/21 campaign at the heart of Manchester City’s defence, which saw Pep Guardiola’s side keep 19 Premier League clean sheets, more than any other side.

MIDFIELDERS

Who are the best FPL captain options for Gameweek 2? 7

Fresh from their huge opening day hauls, Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) and Bruno Fernandes (£12.1m) are rather obvious inclusions in this week’s picks.

After the first round of matches, Salah ranks joint-second for goal attempts (five) and top for penalty area touches (14). It’s also worth noting that having netted at Carrow Road in Gameweek 1, he is now just two goals short of joining the list of Premier League players with 100 goals in the competition.

Fernandes put on a ruthless display of finishing against Leeds United last weekend, as he scored three goals from as many goal attempts, and takes on a Southampton side who have conceded more goals than any other Premier League side in 2021.

Man City representation seems like a must against a Norwich City side who arrive on the back of a 3-0 home defeat to Liverpool but picking a safe starter is as tricky as ever following last week’s defeat at Spurs.

Kevin De Bruyne may have been in the reckoning had he not missed training on Friday, while Ferran Torres continues to flatter to deceive as a false nine and Riyad Mahrez, City’s stand-out pre-season performer, had an off-day at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Jack Grealish (£8.0m) ought to be involved from kick-off, at least, and showed glimpses of his potential down the left flank on Sunday.

FORWARDS

Five-time top 1k FPL finisher Tom Freeman on Calvert-Lewin, Wolves and his Gameweek 2 plans 6

‘Get the ball to Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.0m)’ seems to be Everton’s mantra under Rafael Benitez, with last weekend’s bombardment of crosses to the striker and even summer transfer policy hinting that the Toffees are building their team around the England international.

On top of that, weekend opponents Leeds looked particularly vulnerable in the middle of the pitch last weekend, conceding more chances from that position than any other team.

While Calvert-Lewin caught the eye in Gameweek 1, Danny Ings (£8.0m) didn’t particularly shine and was starved of service throughout.

Nevertheless, the visit of a Newcastle United defence that has conceded the second-highest number of shots in the division since their move to a rather adventurous 3-5-2 in Gameweek 30 of last season commands attention.

The Magpies’ total of six big chances conceded against West Ham was also twice as many as any other club allowed in Gameweek 1.

Lastly, and very much least in most people’s eyes, is Neal Maupay (£6.5m).

Ivan Toney (£6.5m) is the obvious choice at this price point and it’s true that Maupay’s goal conversion rate is poor over the last two campaigns (11.3% in 2020/21 and 10.4% in 2019/20).

But after seeing him drop a lot deeper when Danny Welbeck was part of the Albion side last season, his presence around the six-yard box was notable against Burnley – and even he generally hits the target from that range.

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 Fantasy Football Scout subscription and revealed to the public only when the deadline has passed.

Here is how we voted for Gameweek 2:

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.

Jairzinho takes on the Scout Picks this week with a 3-5-2 team of: Sanchez, Cancelo, Shaw, Tsmikas, Salah (c), Jota, Greenwood, Mahrez, Sterling, Ings, Benteke.

Jairzinho’s uncle, a footballer back in the 1960s, is living with Alzheimer’s at the moment – so we’re more than to happy to promote the fine work of the Alzheimer’s Society and their fundraising efforts in his honour:

    Mount or Greenwood?

    1. Khark
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Greenwood short term. Not sure i fancy Mount at all to be honest, amazing player just unsure for fantasy.

      1. TheDragon
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        100%

        Mount is a great player just not a good FPL one

    2. syke63
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Greenwood til gw 4, Mount after could be good.

    3. Pep bites Kun
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Greenwood short-term for fixtures. Che later when fixtures turn in their favour.

    4. Eliano
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’m in the same boat, Currently have mount and Maddison... but I’m looking at swapping both to grealish and raphina/ sarr

  3. Big Mac 24
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Do we think Jota starts tomorrow?

    Anyone surprised that none of the guys picked Greenwood in their midfield options for Scott picks?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No.

      Scotty B picks?

      1. Big Mac 24
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

    2. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm glad I've got Greenwood, could be an absolute mauling on Sunday.

    3. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Did they pick Jota?

      1. Big Mac 24
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Nope, neither mentioned although I only really expected Greenwood to get a mention.

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Personally, not confident he does.

  4. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Barnes > Grealish

    Yes or No?

    Very aware Barnes has Norwich GW3!

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Similar types in some respects. No.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks. I'm on 'no' too, but can see the appeal in a shift.

    2. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nah

  5. Az
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I’d like to go on record as saying I fought for Maupay to be nowhere near the scout picks.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      The hero we deserve.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No Maupay!

    3. Bartowski
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      And unfortunately 67% of the scouts voted for him...

      1. Blueberg
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Do you know what else is 67%?

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Check the hot topics muahaha

    4. syke63
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Name names, who picked him?

    5. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I know my season is going badly when Maupay ends up in my team.

      Never ever ever again

    6. Pep bites Kun
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      🙂 Nice one!

    7. Khark
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      NOupay!

    8. PartyTime
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Hat trick tomorrow imminent

    9. Casual Player
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Maupay to score more goals than Toney this season

  6. Amartey Partey
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Was there ever any update on why DCL missed training?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      a "non serious" injury, according to Rafa.

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        :/ Anything with the word injury in still doesn't sound good.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Can you link an article/tweet where it says that? Not saying you're not right - just haven't seen it myself yet.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I read it on here earlier tonight, Hazz. Just had a google search and couldn't find anything, though. I'll keep looking.

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Cheers. I don't believe it's out of nowhere since I saw someone else post it, and what you said.

          Doesn't actually affect me, I don't have him - just surprised not many picked up on it if so.

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You can read GOT if you like, no.

      1. I Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Game of Thrones?

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          More gruesome.

  7. Meme2011
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Should I transfer Barnes out for Son or give him another week??

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You don't need Son v Wolves

    2. JT11fc
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If its for free then may aswell just do it

      1. Meme2011
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        It would be for free but obviously throws out any other alternatives to spending £3m

    3. Jackie Moon
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes. No brainer for me that one.

  8. Kevin Twine
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Best Veltman replacement for 4.5? Already got Tsimikas

    1. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ayling I guess

      Veltman is back next week if you can bench him

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Do you need to do it this week? I'd prefer to hold for next week - more info + 2 FT

      1. Kevin Twine
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        White is the replacement

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Understood. Ayling I have. Tanganga looks good. Pinnock produced the goods last week & has 3/4 decent fixtures

    3. JT11fc
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Wer really short on good 4.5s, how about Dier?

      1. bunk_medal
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I would say Veltman is the best 4.5.

    4. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers folks

  9. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Play Ayling (home to Everton) or Coufal (home to Leicester)?

    1. JT11fc
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Coufal

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Coufal imo

    3. syke63
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Close but Coufal for me.

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

        Yep. More attacking threat.

  10. JT11fc
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Was gonna save ft but really want Lukaku, any of these worth a pop?
    Lukaku + Mbeumo for

    Salah + Perica

    Mahrez + Ings

    Would probably move Salah on soon anyway
    Im blaming these contemplations on lockdown lol

    1. Khark
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Think its very dangerous to move on Salah. I'd stay away from Chelsea for the next few gameweeks.

    2. Jackie Moon
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’m a Chelsea fan and I still wouldn’t replace Salah with Lukaku yet. Give him a few weeks to settle in. We also have tough fixtures so even if he hits the ground running he’s going to have limited output.

  11. TheDragon
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which current Man City player won the Champions League over 15 years ago?

    1. Bartowski
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Jack Grealish

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Carson

      1. TheDragon
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I couldn’t believe it!

        He has won 3 things in his career
        - 1 x UEFA champions league
        - 1 x UEFA super cup
        - 1 x Charlton player of the year.

        Quite a career! Did he get a premier league winners medal last year given he played 1 game?

        1. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Helluva career, ish.

          I don’t think he quite jammed his way to a PL medal though. I think you have to play a couple of games or be on the bench a few times to get one.

    3. JT11fc
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not an fpl one surely...

      1. JT11fc
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Oh Carson at Pool

    4. PartyTime
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Easy. Carson

      1. TheDragon
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        It was Scott Carson

        Easy Carson has never won the champions league

    3. The Count of Monte Cristo

    4. Jam0sh

      I'm pretty sure you don't need assurances for that

    5. LSK
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I hope so as I have your team except Barnes and Shaw instead of Grealish and Cash.

    6. pundit of punts

      Thank you everyone:)

    7. Pep bites Kun
      • 8 Years

      G2G - Except Livramento over White as 1st sub I like.

  13. Baps hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Has anyone checked how many people have Andy's team?

    1. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Is it even possible to check?

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

        Ragabolly is certainly able to answer yes to this question. We mortals perhaps not.

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

      I'll do it if somebody posts his team here.

      1. TheDragon
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Sanchez, Foster
        TAA, Shaw, Tsimikas, Ayling, Veltman
        Salah, Fernandes, Benrahma, Gundo, Mahrez
        Toney, Antonio, Perica

        I think he did Son & Raphinha -> Gundo & Mahrez right on the deadline/ off stream so some people were probably too slow to change and stick with that version.

        1. Pacer.
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Pretty sure he did it on stream. I'd never seen a opening deadline day stream before so I tuned in. It was painfully dull and altogether a baffling phenomenon. I'm not sure what I expected. Did enjoy watching him tear up all his research though because of some Raphina issue in GW4, like that's more of a problem than owning two City mids

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

            Yea, he did try to check that Raphinha situation and made two changes. I was following it and would have sold Raphinha for Harrison after those news if I hadn't done it already.

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

          https://www.livefpl.net/overall_ownership

          It could be done there, but I don't know how big is Ragabolly's sample size and how accurate that is. Top 10 ownership combinations are exact. The problem for me now is that I am too tired to memorize the whole team and already in bed with my phone (Saturday here). So I should open my computer to give it a try and I guess it has to wait. Sorry.

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

            If I get something relevant out, I will write it as answer to price change HT tomorrow.

    3. JT11fc
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Surely not many have Gundo and Mahrez

    4. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Exact team is in the range of 700 managers

  14. Nightf0x
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which?

    A) sell gundo now
    B) keep & start him

    Will bench 1 of gundo toney barnes already

    1. Ginola
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B. Didn’t you pick Gundo for this fixture? He’s fit.

        Agree with this. I think you take the risk here as it could net you a good reward

    I own Dele Alli, should I sell this GW or forget and keep drinking?

    1. Baps hunter

      3 years, 2 months ago

      If you have him, keep him now imo. Keep on drinking and shut the phone so you won't wake up with -64 and brand new team xD

    Is there a page or post anywhere which perhaps very helpfully shows the players who differ in value on FanTeam compared to FPL? I not Lukaku is 1.0M cheaper on FanTeam.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I built a team of players who were ranked 1m or more cheaper than FPL. Am ranked 28k (out of 29k....).

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Are the price rises and falls similar?

      2. AIRMILES
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I built my team on the fly. I'm currently 3,374th, but I realise a few small tweaks and I could have a much better team going forwards. But I'd rather someone else make the effort of pointing out the price differences from FPL than me doing all that work myself.

  17. AW4

    Watkins for
    Greenwood -4
    or
    Wilson

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Wilson looks the one.

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Would go with Wilson for now - both good options

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

      Cal

      1. AW4
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Take a hit to get Greenwood with a 4.5 striker
        Probably best to go Wilson though based on other replies

    4. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Greenwood a midfielder.
      Watkins a striker

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

        Therefore he had -4 mentioned. Wilson is the answer anyway. Or -4 elsewhere and get DCL.

    5. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Wilson

  18. Amartey Partey

    Is Fabinho injured for Liverpool? If so, that changes everything for them.

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not injured- suffered family bereavement. See Twitter comments. Seems to be with team but unclear if will be able to play or not

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Oh I see. Liverpool miss him when he's not playing. He's their engine.

  19. Jackie Moon

    Is it worth trading Digne for Shaw this week?

    I had planned to do it after GW1. Wanted Digne as a differential and didn’t think Shaw would haul against Leeds.

    But now I’m not sure if I should use the transfer on him, especially when I have Tsimikas who I need to replace soon and would likely need 2 transfers to do it.

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Save transfer

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Personally I would stick for now. It's not like Digne has terrible fixtures.

      1. Jackie Moon
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Except I didn’t want Shaw against Leeds, so obviously not too keen on Digne against them either.

        Actually looking at Reguilon now as well, but i suppose saving is the safe option.

  20. DrNinjamonkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Barnes or Raphinha?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Same bracket.

      1. DrNinjamonkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        What does that mean sorry?

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          It means it doesn't matter, equals.

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Own both and I slightly prefer Barnes but both good picks. I prefer Leicester's fixtures

  21. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Regret going without a 4.5m mid/fwd as can't get Greenwood in without a hit -- just SAVE FT?

    Sánchez
    TAA - Shaw - Tsimikas
    Salah (c) -- Fernandes -- Barnes -- Raphinha -- Benrahma
    Ings - Antonio

    Foster -- Toney -- Ayling -- Amartey

    1. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      The easiest save anyone will ever face this season (other than a Maupay shot)

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        You're right - it's one of those where you see someone in your GW1 draft scoring points and thinking I need to get him "back" in when really you must just show some patience....

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

      Save

    3. LSK
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I have the same 11 except I went Greenwood over Raphinha. Eventually Raph will come good and Greenwood will be benched so no need for a hit to make the switch. Maybe just shift some funds with 1 of your 2 transfers next week to allow for future upgrades.

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks very much. Yes, I was a bit unsure at the start having not followed anything in past few weeks due to work.

        I knew I wasn't playing Toney first two games so bit silly to pick him in the first place, but lesson learnt. Will likely juggle funds around as you have recommended in prep for GW3.

    4. tuturututu
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I would be tempted to try with Toney over Antonio

  22. OptimusBlack
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    And last decision if u have Gündo would u keep or sell ?

    1. Il Capitano
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Keep, it's Nodge innit

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Keep, sir 🙂

    3. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years

      Keeping.

    4. Nightf0x

    Martinez
    TAA, Tsimikas, Rudiger, Targett
    Salah, Bruno©, Torres, Soucek
    Lukaku(v), Toney

    Amartey, Bissouma, Obafemi

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo

      Should do well - and not template like mine so I like it. Nice to see some originality and hope it scores you points!

      1. tuturututu
        • 3 Years

        Thank you! Haven't been active here this year so don't really know the template 😆

    2. LSK
      • 6 Years

      I expect both Liverpool and Chelsea to score 2 of 3 without reply so very good imo. A cleansheet for Villa and you’ll be laughing.

      1. tuturututu
        • 3 Years

        That would be great, thanks!

      Soucek inspired choice

  25. Yolo Toure
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    a) barnes vs west ham (A)
    b) digne vs leeds (A)

    im so stuck, also could do barnes to greenwood on a FT

    Neal Maupay has made the scout picks starting 11.

    Time to join the hub.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Brighton fans, how he got in over Toney I don't know

    2. Pacer.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Damned if they do...

      Someone on here earlier furiously banging on about how GAME IS GONE because content creators are all advising capping Bruno and Salah. Cast fresh eyes over Maupay and chuck him in and they get it from other quarters

      1. LSK
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Same with everything. They know that if they put themselves out there at best 70% will agree and 30% will vociferously disagree. Just something they have to put up with. Every job has its good points and bad.

    3. Goonsquad245

      Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

    4. LSK
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A. Don’t let his new price tag fool you. He’s a good option but when necessary he’s still as benchable as when he was 4.5m last season.

  28. tuturututu
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    If Grealish is the most expensive signing in PL ever, would that mean that he's top price at 8.0 considering he will definitely play a lot this season?

    1. Shteve
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No guarantee he plays a lot, I'd expect him to be rotated.

      1. tuturututu
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Surely as top transfer this season, he will be a standard member of starting eleven

        1. Shteve
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          No such thing in Peps teams!

    2. Netley Lucas

    A) Coufal (LEI)

    C) Webster (WAT) (Already own Sanchez)
