Scout Picks

FPL Gameweek 4 Scout Picks features Chelsea triple-up and Bruno over Ronaldo

As they prepare to face Aston Villa on Saturday, three Chelsea players form the spine of our Gameweek 4 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 4-4-2 formation and come in at £82.9m, just under our £83.0m budget.

GOALKEEPER

David Raya (£4.6m) is our chosen goalkeeper ahead of Brentford’s home fixture against Brighton and Hove Albion in Gameweek 4.

The Bees stopper has already accumulated 17 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) points, picking up additional save points against both Arsenal and Aston Villa.

He’s also on top of the Baseline Bonus Points System (BBPS), in part due to his distribution when playing out from the back.

Thomas Frank’s side have restricted their opponents to just two big chances so far, and with Albion up next, will be confident of another shut-out in Gameweek 4.

DEFENDERS

The best FPL defenders for a Gameweek 4 Wildcard 3

Luke Shaw (£5.5m) may not have quite hit his 2020/21 heights so far this season, but still ranks amongst the top five defenders for chances created, and carries significant assist potential against Newcastle United this weekend.

His crossing ability from both dead-ball situations and open-play attacks will be key, while United’s clean sheet prospects look a whole lot stronger with the addition of Raphael Varane (£5.5m).

Lucas Digne (£5.4m) helped Everton record their first shut-out of the campaign against Brighton last time out, and is sure to benefit from new manager Rafa Benitez’s approach, which is largely based around crossing.

Up next for the Toffees is Burnley, who have conceded 15 headed attempts so far this season, more than any other side in the division. With corner-taking duties another route to points, Digne could be in for a big week.

Antonio Rudiger (£5.5m) is the first of our Chelsea picks. The German international has started and completed 90 minutes in all three Premier League matches this season, while opponents Aston Villa have managed just nine shots on target across their opening three fixtures. Add in at least a couple of missing first-teamers, and it’s no surprise that Chelsea top the bookies’ odds for a clean sheet this week.

Marcal (£4.5m) takes up the final spot in our backline. Over the opening three Gameweeks, he has attempted 19 crosses from the left-flank (the joint-fifth highest among all defenders), while Wolves have conceded just 20 shots in the box despite some tougher fixtures.

MIDFIELDERS

Captain Sensible – Gameweek 1 5

Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) is the first of our two premium midfield picks this week, having already combined two goals, two assists and 30 FPL points this season. The Egyptian’s total of 13 goal attempts ranks second amongst all players, while he has also supplied a league-leading three big chances for his team-mates.

Opponents Leeds United have tightened up at Elland Road in 2021, but Salah, who is just one goal shy of reaching a century in the Premier League, will surely fancy his chances against Marcelo Bielsa’s backline.

With Ole Gunnar Solskjaer planting seeds of doubts in our heads around how many minutes Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.5m) will be afforded against Newcastle United, we’ve opted for Bruno Fernandes (£12.0m) in this week’s Scout Picks XI. Despite back-to-back blanks, United’s playmaker hit an open-play hat-trick to earn a career-high 20 FPL point haul in his last Old Trafford appearance.

Mason Mount (£7.5m) has enjoyed a productive start to the season, bagging assists against Crystal Palace and Arsenal. Amongst all midfielders, he ranks top for expected assists (xA), with this weekend’s opponents – Aston Villa – missing first-choice goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez (£5.5m).

Adama Traore (£6.0m) has been the topic of many a Fantasy discussion over the international break, with Wolverhampton Wanderers about to embark on a kind run of fixtures. While his end product is perhaps in question, he’s top for chances created and joint-second for shots amongst all FPL midfielders from Gameweeks 1 to 3. 

FORWARDS

Lukaku on target as Chelsea assets prosper at Arsenal

Passed fit by manager Thomas Tuchel earlier this afternoon, Romelu Lukaku (£11.5m) looks like an excellent option for our forwards lines this week. The Belgian has started well at Chelsea, scoring against Arsenal in Gameweek 2, and has also reacked up 10 goal attempts and nine shots in the box across his opening couple of appearances.

West Ham United’s Michail Antonio (£7.9m) is the top-scoring player in FPL so far, and is one of just three players to have scored in each of the first three rounds. Opponents Southampton have kept just one clean sheet in their last 24 attempts in the Premier League, while West Ham have won six of their last seven meetings between them.

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.

Bruno Fernandes was handed the armband by our quartet this time, with Romelu Lukaku picking up the vice-captaincy.

COMMUNITY CHAMPION

FPL Gameweek 2 round-up: Sunday goals, assists, bonus and injuries 4

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.

Our champion is week BobMcMayday, who has gone with a maverick 5-2-3 line-up of Pickford; Tierney, White, Shaw, Reguilon, Duffy; Salah, Jota; Aubameyang, Kane, Lukaku (c).

The Scout Picks are 3-0 up on the community this season.

      D or B

      1. stamboy

        my thoughts too slightly favour D as Mount is nailed long-term and good fixtures coming up.

    Which is best for Long term ?
    A- Sanchez - White - Coady

    1,8 millions (24,6%) transfers in this GW for Ronaldo, is it a record?

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I think Yes

    2. stamboy
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      do we anticipate a price rise after the deadline?

      What is the max he can increase by 0.1?

      1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        His price is frozen for now, but if he does even remotely well tomorrow, he will surely rise.

      2. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        He would have to really haul to happen the first night after his first appearance, but it could happen.

        Max 0.1 per night, 0.3 per week.

  4. Casual Player
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    5-2-3 to rival the scout picks is brilliant.

    You aren’t going to beat the scout team by the large margin necessary for the prize by sticking to a similar template.

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No, but you also need that team for the following week whereas the Scout team doesn't

      1. Casual Player
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Isn’t it just picking a hypothetical team for this exercise?

      It never occurs exactly on time, but 02:30 BST is pretty close to when we get it most days.

        Thanks!

    I started with Bachman in gw1 just to be different and I was kicking myself in the head. Why didn’t I just go with Sanchez like everyone else? It cost me 4 points… not that bad but still annoying.

    Now I am on a Wc and I thought: Now I can fix my mistake and get Sanchez but… I’ve seen people with Sanchez saying they can’t stand him anymore…

    Maybe Raya is the way to go now?

    Is he worth the extra .1?

    His fixtures are about to get really bad…

    What are your thoughts on gk?

    I can’t afford a 5.0. 4.6 is my limit.

    1. stamboy
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Watford have good fixtures now so I would stick if I was you. Whose to say Bachmann can't outperform those you've mentioned? A needless hit for me.

    2. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I think Sanchez is still the best 4.5 over the long haul. At that price point, you wont get many clean sheets. You will get save points, and more importantly, more points by investing the money elsewhere.

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

      If you wanted to go rogue you could go Krul, the best fixture run of the lot.

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Don't think there is a standout 4.5m option like last year tbh
      Bachman maybe more likely to get save points and bonus
      Brighton a better defence so less shots at Sanchez = higher CS chances but usually not so many saves

    5. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Stamboy has a point though… the difference between the two is almost nothing. The points predictor on this site has them separated by one point over the next 6 weeks. It’s worth the membership fee to have that data (and no they aren’t paying me). 🙂

    6. Boomerang V
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Thanks. I am either sticking with Bachman or switching to Sanchez…
      I am on WC by the way.
      I don’t think I want to spend extra .1 on Raya.

    Sanchez
    TAA, Shaw, Coufal
    Salah, Bruno, Benrahma, Barnes
    Toney, Antonio, Ings

    Steele, Amartey, Tsimikas, Gilmour

    2ft 1.2itb

    A Bruno and Ings > Ronaldo (c) and Greenwood
    B Bruno, Tsimikas and Ings > Ronaldo (c) Jota and Livramento -4.

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'd go with B as you will need to get Tsmikias out at some point anyway

      1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        This is a tough one though… its not clear how long Jota will keep his place because nobody knows how long Firmino will be out. If we knew he was out 2 months, for example, its a no brainer to do B. If he is back next week, A might be really good.

        1. The Count of Monte Cristo
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I just wonder if Ronaldo will eat into Greenwood's minutes and shift him out to be in less central areas more often.

          I do agree on your Jota point, however.

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

      My only concern with a is next week I'd have triple West ham and United playing each other.

  8. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Sanchez, Foster
    TAA, Shaw, Digne, Livra, Manquillo
    Salah, Bruno, Raphinha, Greenwood, Bissouma
    Ings, Toney, Antonio

    2FTs, 0itb
    1) Ings > Jimi or Bamford & save
    2) Ings, Bruno > Ronaldo, Torres
    3) Ings, Manquillo > Pukki, Coady (playing the fixtures)

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years

      Solid side - would go with B

    2. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B for sure

  9. jackruet
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Christensen + raphinha or
    Rudiger+ sarr for next 3 gw

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I think B just, and you back Watford with their fixtures

      1. jackruet
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Sarr have better fixtures but leeds are better team. So i am not sure

  10. stamboy

    Tierney, Regulon or Semedo?

    a) 6 matches
    b) season keeper

    Thanks,

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Tierney over 6 matches
      Reguilon season keeper

      1. stamboy
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        thanks, wasn't sure about Regulon as I've not seem much of him. I do currently have him but am thinking of switching to Tierney.

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      a - tierney (wild pick) or Semedo (sensible pick)
      b - reg

    3. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Definitely Reguilon for the season and Tierney for the next 6 with his fixtures.

      Tierney could easily find himself injured again however!

  11. Sid07
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    1) ings to DCL
    2) ings + bruno + ronaldo + Torres(-4)
    3) ings + bruno + ronaldo + sarr (-4)
    4) save this week, next week do ings + bruno to Tsimikas to ronaldo + jota + liveramento (-4)

  12. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    0.1m short of Bruno + Ings --> Ronaldo + Jota but would you downgrade Barnes --> 4.5 Mid / Sarr for a (-)4 to achieve that?

    Sanchez
    TAA -- Shaw -- Livramento
    Salah -- Fernandes -- Barnes -- Benrahma
    Toney -- Ings -- Antonio

    Foster -- Ayling -- Amartey -- Raphinha [2FT + 0.0m ITB]

      Yeeees with Sarr

      1. Sid07

        This

      2. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Merci. Do you think having the money ITB with a 4.5m would help upgrade Toney / others medium term though?

    2. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      This one is so tough. You are definitely solving some problems by doing this (Bruno probably off Pens, Ings terrible fixtures, Barnes way off the boil). I’d probably hold my nose and do it.

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks, mate. Have pulled the trigger - really worried about it but it's now done. Hope you have a good weekend FPL-wise and in general.

  13. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Ronnie captain or Mo captain?

  14. stamboy
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Long-term keeper which one?

    1) Shaw
    2) CH defender - which one? Would like Chilwell but he's not in the team, think Christensen for the price point or Azcuilapeta/Rudiger for nailedness
    3) Digne

    I have TAA already...

    1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I sorta agree with the oops poster below. James will be great after GW 7. Shaw isn’t a bad choice now though. CR7 needs crosses into the box, and Shaw is the man for the job. Personally, I think CR7 benefits Shaw more than anyone else on United. That said, United’s fixtures turn poor soon, and James will have a 6-7 match run of green fixtures.

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Shaw for now with CR7's headers - if I had a second team I would even think about captaining him this week with no Wilson and bookies pricing in 60% CS odds
      James in a few GWs time once fixtures turn and when we get an idea of rotation in Chelsea DEF
      Digne have been burned too many times in the past on

    1. gart888
      • 9 Years

      Think I like 2.

    2. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I actually did 2 (as did many others) so that one gets my vote. 1 isn’t terrible, but you will end up taking a hit to get to CR7 or Lukaku later (if you want one of the two), and most likely, DCL will be the one to make way.

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Exact same boat
      Leaning 2, mainly as I like Jota this week
      Ideally I'd like to see a match of CR7 first - e.g. who takes set pieces
      DCL may not be immune to an early sub if he isn't 100% fit and now they have Rondon

  17. gart888
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez, Gunn
    TAA, Shaw, White, Livramento, Tsimikas
    Salah, Bruno, Greenwood, Benrahma, Brownhill
    Ings, Toney, Antonio

    1 FT, 1.4ITB

    a) Ings to DCL
    b) Bruno, Ings, Tsimikas to Ronaldo, Jota, Semedo (for -8)

    1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Wow, this is a tough one. -8 pays off so rarely. I might hold and see what everyone makes of CR7 and then jump on this mini-wildcard if he does well. Tsimi is obviously the problem here.

      What about Bruno to Torres and Ings to Ronaldo (-4)

      1. gart888
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Agreed. Hits are almost always bad. No way the -8 pays off this week alone, would have to be over the next few weeks.

        My thoughts on A is that I do Ings to DCL now, and then Bruno and Toney to Raphinha and Lukaku over the next two weeks. And then bring Ronaldo in for Lukaku when United get through that bad run of fixtures.

        1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Would you WC in 7 then or hold?

          DCL is a great pick (if he plays) and I really believe some people have CR7 fever. For me, I got him in this week, but I’m totally prepared to move him on for Lukaku in 7 or 8.

          1. gart888
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Would maybe WC in 7, or maybe hold. I feel like I'm kind of in wildcard purgatory, where my team isn't quite bad enough to need to use it... and will probably be in a similar position in weeks 7, and 12.

    2. stamboy
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B, think long-term and it's worth the hit

          Ya. Wasn’t the best scoutcast this week. Wish they would put a tighter timeframe on it. Limit it to an hour and it would be more effective.

  21. OneDennisBergkamp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez
    TAA / Shaw / Teirney
    Salah / Grealish / Traore / Raph
    Ronaldo / DCL / Antonio

    couple of different picks to template.. G2G?

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo

    2. Sun Jihai

    3. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Gtg. Tierney might be a real winner this week.

    Anyone else sceptical over Jota? Feels like a transfer waiting to happen if I bring him in, maybe gray or even pepe could be better picks

    1. OneDennisBergkamp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      yep, Salah enough for me

      1. The King
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Doing Ings and Bruno to Ronald and someone but so hard to pick, have 8.7 for the mid

        1. OneDennisBergkamp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          whats your midfield now?

          1. The King
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Salah, raph, benrahma, bruno

              • 8 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              i went Grealish, not the most popular pick but i want City attacker and feel like he could haul

              1. The King
                • 10 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                Yeah nice pick, I just hit the button on Jota and Ronaldo in before the price changes, doesn't feel too great with Jota but might even make .1 if he does only last 1 week. Spose that's more time to judge the likes of gray, traore, odegaard

    2. The King
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Or traore for that matter

      1. Gabbiadini
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        i'd go sarr over traore

        1. waldo666
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          This.

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Depends on how long Firmino is out for basically
      Definitely while he is out he is great value given you pay 12m for Mane/Salah

    4. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Mount as well but I think his upside is worth it but understand the hesitancy

    5. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I got him in this week, but I’m prepared to move on quickly if he loses his place. Hard to pass up a quality Liverpool striker at that price, IMHO.

  25. FabreKante

    Final wc with upcoming fixtures in mind, gtg?
    Sa, (Steer)
    Robbo, Dier, Marcal, (Livramento, Williams)
    Salah, Jota, Gray, Torres, Raph
    Luk, Jimi, (Bamford)

    1.3 itb

  26. UptheBlues
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Transferring Son and Ings out, which option do you guys prefer as a replacement?

    A) Gray and Ronaldo

    B) Jota and DCL

    1. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      a

    2. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Probably A, especially over the longer term

  27. SgtLadiesMan
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Gray or Odegaard?

    1. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      gray

    2. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      With James back is Gray still nailed?

      1. Gabbiadini
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        James is not in the frame.
        Gray is also undroppable based on form.

    3. OneDennisBergkamp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      i would have ESR over both

    4. Dont Hassle the Hoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Arsenal have a great run, players back, and they signed Odegaard to be playmaker. Not a bad shout.

  28. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    my mid. & Fwd. Salah green benrahma ronaldo antonio toney (next gw benrahma toney will be dcl raphinha)

    get jota sisoko or tarore & sarr

  29. Bleh
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Think I’m set. Any last min changes you’d change to this WC?

    Sa
    TAA, Christensen, Marcal
    Salah, Jota, Benrahma, Torres
    Ronaldo, Antonio, DCL

    (Steele, Duffy, Allan, Livramento)

    1. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      wouldn't go benrahma on a wc

      1. Clintymints
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        for the price point he does a decent job, currently trying to decide myself though

        1. Gabbiadini
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Better options at his price point.

          1. Gabbiadini
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            West Ham now has Europa league football + the signing on Vlasic.

            1. Gabbiadini
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              of*

      2. Gabbiadini
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        also Christensen has rotation risk.

        1. Bleh
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Could do Shaw + Sanchez instead of Christensen + Sa?

      3. Bleh
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks, who would you go for instead? I’ve had him since he was 6.0 so would be losing significant value if I sell. If he starts to show signs of slowing down, it’s an easy switch to Sarr/Gray/Traore etc.

    2. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I think its fine. Lots of people have soured on Ben given the recent blanks. The bigger question is who is a better selection. You could go Sarr or Raph at that price point, but that’s about it.

      1. Bleh
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah it’s a wait and see for me.

  30. Fudge
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Son injury caused me all kind of headaches. Before that, I was going to do Bruno+Toney -> Sarr+Ronaldo..

    Now it's one of the following options:

    A) Son -> Jota
    B) Son + Toney -> Sarr + Lukaku
    C) Son -> Sarr + lots and lots of cash for following week. But who am I going for after that..

    Thoughts? Thinking that the Jota price rise could be worth jumping on anyways if Firmino is going to be out for any prolonged amount of time.. but also don't like doubling Salah and Jota. Sarr on pens and nailed on is nice for 3 weeks.

    1. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      b

    2. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Firmino is the Key. If we knew he was going to be absent long term, Jota is a must own. Unfortunately, we just dont know.

      If you have no bench, you might consider B. Lots of people will do Ronaldo to Lukaku in GW7 when the fixtures change.

      If you have a decent bench, your original plan isnt bad.
