Scout Picks

FPL Gameweek 5 Scout Picks features Liverpool triple-up

A Liverpool triple-up forms the spine of our Gameweek 5 Scout Picks for Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

After Sam, Az, Neale and Tom submitted their Scout Squad selections earlier this week, we have chosen our best players ahead of tonight’s 18:30 BST deadline.

We line up in a 4-4-2 formation and we’ve used every penny of our £83.0m budget.

GOALKEEPER

With our expensive purchases further forward, we needed a £4.5m option for goalkeeping duties this week. Aaron Ramsdale (£4.5m) fits the bill after a debut that earned huge plaudits from his manager, and it was no surprise that the Gunners finally recorded their first clean sheet of the campaign when they had their first-choice back four all available for the first time. The rotation risk can’t be eliminated, especially after this match, but a clash with Burnley doesn’t seem like the time to reinstate Bernd Leno (£4.9m) give his inability to handle crosses.

DEFENDERS

Thomas Tuchel’s Blues have had the best backline in Europe since January and are yet to concede from open play this season. Weekend opponents Tottenham Hotspur offered very little in the final third in Gameweek 4, registering just two shots, and are a lowly joint-18th for big chances created in 2021/22. That lack of goal threat, plus an injury crisis in north London, makes us keen on Chelsea representation at the back. It’s always a nerve-wracking game trying to second-guess Tuchel’s line-ups but Reece James (£5.6m) at least had a ‘rest’ last weekend thanks to suspension and his tallies of four shots and five key passes in just 161 minutes of pitch-time really catches the eye.

On the subject of solid defences, Manchester City’s often doesn’t get the attention it deserves thanks to their exploits further forward. The reigning champions are on a run of three clean sheets and have remarkably only conceded one shot on target since the opening weekend, with even Ederson (£6.0m) smothering that effort at source. With injuries to other centre-halves and concern over possible rotation at full-back, mainstay Ruben Dias (£6.0m) is the safe play.

A home match against Palace might have looked like a stonewall banker for a clean sheet under the dour Roy Hodgson but Patrick Vieira has got the Eagles playing with a bit more attacking verve since his appointment. But shut-outs are only a small part of the reason why we love Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m) so much, and the Liverpool right-back is in red-hot form: over his last 14 matches, the prolific chance creator is averaging 7.8 FPL points per match.

Marcal (£4.6m) delivered the goods for us last week but we’re changing flanks for Wolves representation against a Brentford outfit who look solid at the back but who are struggling up top. Marcal has generally been providing service from out wide but Nelson Semedo (£4.9m) is the one who has been more regularly drifting infield into threatening goalscoring positions and had two of the six big chances that Wolves created last weekend. Semedo’s 11 penalty box touches is a tally beaten by only two FPL defenders this season.

MIDFIELDERS

Who are the best FPL captain options for Gameweek 2? 6

The solid centre-half pairing of Marc Guehi (£4.5m) and Joachim Andersen (£4.5m) look like they could really improve the fortunes of Palace’s backline this season but after Liverpool racked up 52 shots against Leeds United and AC Milan in the last week, we can’t look past the Reds on home soil. Serious consideration was given to a rested Sadio Mane (£11.9m) after he registered an eye-catching 10 goal attempts against the Whites but it was unsurprisingly his two attacking comrades who instead received the bulk of the votes in this week’s Scout Squad.

Mohamed Salah‘s (£12.5m) totals of 16 goal attempts, 14 shots in the box and 12 chances created all rank among the top three players in the Premier League this season, while his points-per-match average of 9.5 is the best among FPL midfielders. And Diogo Jota (£7.7m), as he did for much of the previous campaign, is right up there Liverpool’s premium midfield pair for underlying stats: a total of 0.99 big chances per 90 minutes is even better than what Salah is managing this season. Had it not been for Mane’s wastefulness in Gameweek 4, the Portuguese – who carved out six chances last Sunday – would have dodged a blank.

With slight concerns over Ferran Torres’ (£7.2m) minutes after five successive starts for club and country over the last fortnight, we’ve opted for a relatively rested Ilkay Gundogan (£7.3m) as our not-entirely-risk-free route into a potent Manchester City attack. Gundogan evoked memories of last season’s purple patch with his stats against Leicester last weekend, racking up six shots and four key passes.

We have yet to see the best of Leeds this season but as luck would have it, along come Newcastle United. The Magpies are woeful at the back, bottom of the table for goals conceded and big chances allowed. They also shipped seven goals to Marcelo Bielsa’s side last season across their two meetings. Raphinha (£6.5m) has yet to catch fire but still sits 14th among FPL midfielders for expected goal involvement (xGI) despite facing fairly sturdy backlines in Manchester United, Everton and Liverpool.

FORWARDS

The best FPL forwards to consider as Calvert-Lewin and Antonio replacements 7

On the subject of the Friday night game, Patrick Bamford (£7.9m) was cleared to play by his manager to quieten the social media frenzy around a possible ‘pinged’ hamstring. Among the top five Fantasy forwards for penalty box touches and shots in the opposition box despite the tricky start to the season, the striker averaged 5.89 points per match in away fixtures last season and four of his five double-digit hauls came on the road.

It was a toss-up between Romelu Lukaku (£11.6m) and Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.6m) for our premium forward slot. With little to separate their own credentials, it’s as much about the opposition this weekend. Nuno Espirito Santo’s counter-attacking Spurs look like they will fare better against the bigger teams this season but are ravaged by injury going into Sunday’s game. West Ham, meanwhile, have registered just two clean sheets in their last 15 Premier League fixtures (both against Southampton) but may well set up in a more defensive shape in east London, as they did in both league meetings with the Red Devils last weekend. The Portuguese gets the nod, marginally, with the Hammers’ loss of an out-ball in Michail Antonio (£7.9m) likely to invite more pressure and the form of Craig Dawson (£5.0m) iffy.

THE CAPTAIN

      A and b

    4. The Wise Owl

    8. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'd bench Ayling tbh. Leeds with a super makeshift defense.

  3. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone know why Kane went off on 54 mins last night?

    1. Khark
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yep, he was terrible! Got replaced by Emerson, not an injury - just doesn't look committed to me

    2. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Gentleman's agreement

      Would not surprise me if Scarlett enters the picture soon.

      1. Carlton P
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        To replace Kane?? That’s literally never going to happen

    5. Dazzler
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Think he tried to claim the Bade O.G, went off in a huff

    6. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Eying that January transfer window

      1. JollyGoodYellows
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers. Ben is on the radar to go but part of me thinks 2 transfers next week will be more valuable.

    2. caldracula
      • 8 Years

      Kane to Lukaku

  9. Walter White (WW)
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Why don’t City fans attend games more often? Is it because of tickets fee?

    Fan base secretary hitting out at Pep for his comments

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

      Its because there aren't many City fans.

      The fan group comments were laughable, saying poeple have kids etc and struggle to get to 8pm kick offs.

      Pep is right. Its embarassing.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Oh yeah it is quite funny. Almost as if they think they’re in a unique situation.

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

          We could sell out Anfield twice for Champs League games.

          Too hard for city fans though, I guess few actually liver near Manchester.

          1. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            I’ve actually never met a city fan. There pretty much aren’t any in that area and barely any at all in the nation. So when the games aren’t on exactly when they need them they’re exposed. Their other issue is that they’re just such poor fans in general. Never hear a peep out of them. Palace fans are my favourite.

          2. K4pril
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            You have ppl coming from all lancashire.

            Blackpool, Southport, Formby... everywhere i go i see LFC supporters.

            City fans are everywhere but not in the north coz everyone already support LFC or ManU therefore as you said we don't have many near Manchester to attend.

      2. Walter White (WW)
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, probably right, I mean since Pep joined they have won everything & a lot except CL.

        Maybe most don’t just like Pep. It’s hard to understand why tho... not like I like him either

        1. Concrete
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Most aren't mithered by the CL

          Season ticket for years, been to two CL games since first qualified

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      There just aren’t very man to begin with.

      1. Walter White (WW)
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah... would have expected them to have a lot of fans by now since 2011 when things improved at the club

        1. Concrete
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          There a core of 38 to 40 k fans

          The extensions are day trippers. Comes with the territory

        2. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          In footballing terms that is nothing. They’re still in their infancy. Maybe in 50 years they might have developed a solid fan base but I doubt it. If you’re in Manchester you support UTD. Outside of that it’s people who have money who want to see some stars play but don’t really have any affiliation one way or the other. It’s not like in Liverpool where both clubs have history going way back.
          I’m also fairly confident the owners will get bored within the next 20 years anyway and envisage them just fading away down the league system without the money.

          1. Concrete
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Incorrect. In wish part of Manchester do you live to know this?

            There are hotspots for both clubs

            Remember, United aren't even based in Manchester, but that's tit for tat

            1. Rupert The Horse
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Never been.

              1. Concrete

                • 9 Years

                Should visit, its okay

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

      Money?

      Prem games always 'sell out'

      We go far in all comps so affording it? Pick and choose games?

      Most of us who I know aren't really mithered with CL

      It's expensive and we don't all live in affluent Hale Barn

      1. Walter White (WW)
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Interesting. Yeah, I think if they reduced the ticket fees for games in PL/CL it would attract more fans

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

        Money is a fair reason not to go.

        However, its the same for other teams, so doesnt make much sense?

        Also dont understand why City fans dont like the CL. Euopean nights at Anfield are by far the best games and would be my pick over Prem any time. If I had to pick between Brentford and AC Milan due to money, its a no brainer..

        1. Concrete
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Liverpool are a big club with CL nights being part of their history and experience. City are young, a culture thing? it's quite drab until the latter stages, there's this thing with booing UEFA too

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

            Wasnt anything drab about being in the Kop against MIlan this week! 😀

    4. K4pril

      2 years, 6 months ago

      Tickets for City are extra cheap.
      For Lipzk you could get one for 12.5£
      For Premier League games you can have seat for 20£.

      Its just that City ain't been a succesfull team in last decades and Utd has been, so everyone has been after Utd coz they has been good.

      City Fans are either super old and remember old times or super yang/new to footbal and fallow them coz they good atm.

      Fact that there is so many UTD fans doesn't help as well coz it feels bad when you go out in blue and people laugh at you or swear at you.
      People cheer for City at home but are not so confident to go out for match.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Innit blood.

      2. Concrete
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I doubt that someone wanting to watch City as a one off can buy a ticket for a prem game for 20 quid. Value season cards work out at around that per match. A one off ticket with membership will be categorised

        Sorry but the United thing is trash and the laughing bit, which part of Manchester have you seen and heard it?

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          The whole thing is trash.

        2. K4pril
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Salford mate,
          At my workplace there like 190 utd supporters and 10 City fans and we are a laughting stock.
          Every time i go for a match someone shout out 'ooooh he a City fan haha funny'

          Also i know ppl that buy under 18 ticket for ~20£ and enter with it coz no one check it.

      3. Walter White (WW)

        Hahaha... this is interesting but City have been the better side for a long time now. Since Sir Alex left Utd haven’t been the same team tbh & City have been the better side in Manchester

        I get your point tho but with Pep’s comments & fan base secretary comments just feels as if the fans aren't so attached to the club even with how they have improved in the last decade

      Put it this way i live 115miles away from Manchester and have never ever struggled to get Man City tickets. Where as i live roughly the same distance away from Newcastle and its almost impossible to get tickets, against a top 10 side anyway.

        So not a lot of fans then. Used to think City had many. A bit surprising tbh

      State of affairs: As an Arsenal fan I went for two Arsenal vs City matches at Etihad. Both on a City season ticket holder's pass! They probably just don't want to come to the stadium and support.

    Just checking that we are definitely starting Benrahma over Ayling this week?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Starting both.

  11. Jonny HOW SON?

    Which combination do you like better:

    A) Lukaku, Raphinha, White

    B) Bamford, Jota, Sarr

      A

    Tanganga and Mahrez to Williams and Raph worth a hit this week?

    1. The Wise Owl

      No

    2. Carlton P
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Semedo + Raph maybe

    3. Bubbles1985
      • 7 Years

      Should've said, trying to gain some cash to upgrade Antonio to Lukaku in a couple of GWs...

    1. The Wise Owl

      Stats suggest Digne, but Leicester might be tired

      I dont like triple wolves. Get rid of Traore at least

      1. Clay Davis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Wolves looks bloody quality to be honest. Posting some of the best team numbers in both defence and attack, and they've not had the easiest fixtures having already played Leicester, Spurs and Man Utd. They have a very good manager too. I think they'll be challenging for Europa places

    2. Clay Davis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Quite similar to mine...

      Sanchez vs Sa
      Marcal vs Rudiger
      Traore vs Torres
      Gray vs Jimenez
      Ronaldo vs Bamford

  15. Ohh1454

    James or Rudiger ?

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      James for me. Rudiger safe and solid but I'm going for the higher ceiling with James.

    2. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      easy James

    3. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Depends on bench strength

    4. Jonny HOW SON?
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'm going Rüdi for security of starts

    5. Clay Davis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'm going Rudiger as he's safe and steady. Also 0.1m cheaper. James will have the occasional huge haul, but he'll be in and out the team with CHO and Azpilicueta all capable of playing his position.

    Raphinha (thigh strain)
    Harrison (covid)
    Dallas (unwell)
    Newcastle (run out of pies)

      Just seen this. Apparently stems from WACCOE forum but can't read it as it's behind registration.

      Apparently Harrison is out, and Raphinha is a doubt.

        1. Amartey Partey

          Because of Twitter. It was more a question though. I really have no idea.

        No. Not interested until gw14 either as I think Ronaldo is overpriced compared to Lukaku. I'm a Man United fan too

  18. b91jh

    Lowton
    Gilmour
    Veltman

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'd play Veltman and the other two are a coin toss (both walking blanks)

      1. Angelic upstart
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Agreed! Only one bench spot for the three of em!

  23. Arvin-ation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez (4.0)
    TAA Coady Shaw Christensen (Duffy)
    Salah Jota Raphina Trincao (4.5)
    Ronaldo Lukaku (4.5)

    A) Save

    B) Trincao ---> Gray

    If I do save, I run the risk of burning the transfer as I rly don't see myself making any other changes till GW7. Thoughts?

    Like Trincao, just a lil worried about starting place with Podence and Hwang lurking and looking just as good.

    1. Clay Davis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A, 100% save. You think you won't make any moves, but somethign always crops up.

      I certainly wouldn't take out Trincao, he looks superb last match and they have 3 great fixtures.

      Gray has been good, 3 goals with 3 shots. I don't think it will continue though.

  24. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Who's getting more points this season Pukki or Raphina?

    1. Angelic upstart
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Raphina

    2. Jonny HOW SON?
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Raph

    3. Clay Davis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Similar I think, both between 120-140pts.

      Pukki is being overlooked imo, he'll nick a goal here and there and when he does he'll get some bonus too. Great run of fixtures too

  25. zizoo10
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Was planning on GW8 WC, but just realised I can avoid IF:

    • I bring in James this week over upside transfers like Antonio > Bamford, Benrahma > Sarr
    • I settle for Salah (MCI) over CR7 (EVE) in GW7 - will have kaku(c)

    What do u say veterans? Do I ignore present points potential and slowly pick up the chelsea boys?

    1. Angelic upstart
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      The wildcard will be a big bonus to have come gw 15 so hold if you can

    2. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      I'd say save WC if possible. James is a good pick this week.
