Scout Picks

FPL Gameweek 7 Scout Picks built on Chelsea triple-up

There’s not a Liverpool or Manchester City player in sight in our Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Scout Picks for Gameweek 7.

A Chelsea triple-up instead forms the spine of the side this week, with eight other teams represented in the remaining spots.

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 3-4-3 formation and come in at £81.9m, well under our £83.0m budget.

GOALKEEPER

The best goalkeepers for UEFA Champions League Fantasy

With 17 clean sheets in 25 Premier League matches since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel in January, Edouard Mendy (£6.0m) is the first of two Chelsea backline options in this week’s Scout Picks. The Blues’ stopper has kept three clean sheets in five games so far this season, and is the fourth-highest scoring goalkeeper in FPL despite missing a week. His numbers are impressive, too, given that his 3.45 saves per 90 minutes ranks fifth – only behind Karl Darlow (£4.5m), Illan Meslier (£5.0m), Ben Foster (£4.0m) and Hugo Lloris (£5.6m) – while his 5.5 minutes-per-baseline-bonus (BBPS) is also encouraging, and suggests that he could be in the mix when Chelsea do keep a clean sheet. Against a Southampton side that is goalless in three matches, Mendy’s inclusion makes a lot of sense.

  5. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    This ref in the Stoke game is so bad

    1. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Just English football refs being English football refs tbh.

      The only major demerit of English football

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

  8. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Johnstone saved the penalty he conceded

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Useless for me the spell I had him last year

  9. Mr Johnson
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Jimenez or Toney for the next 6?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Jimi

    2. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      I like Toney

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Depends on what you can do with the the extra million or so

      1. Mr Johnson
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Could upgrade traore to raphinha! Will raphinha be available for GW 8?

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          That would definitely be worth doing even if he doesn't start GW8

          1. Mr Johnson
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Would you do this week for -4?

            1. Fulchester's New Centr…
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              I think I would

  10. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Just worked out I can do ronaldo gray and James to Antonio son and cancelo for -4. Quite like the look of those moves but ronaldo out for a hit could hurt

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Sounds bad, but he is an insufferable pr*ck if that makes it easier

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Haha!

    2. Breaking FPL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not worth it IMO, must be something else you can do with your 2FT?

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Might just do James to Christensen and save the other

    3. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Like it, considering Son myself as well. Not sure why though 🙂

  11. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    No hard choice between Rudiger and Alonso for me cause am 0.1m short of doing Ayling > Alonso

    1. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Will Alonso start though? thats the only question right now. Don't know what Chelsea fans are saying.

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Rudiger is the safer pick anyways

      2. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Chelsea fans are hoping for Chilwell, not sure if Tuchel agrees though

  12. Drogba Legend
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I had too many injuries and doubts so activated my WC. 20k OR. Thoughts:

    Ramsdale
    Rudiger - Azpi - Cancelo
    Salah - Grealish - Raph - Saka
    Lukaku (C) - Toney - Antonio

    Foster - Dias - Livra - Brownhill

    G2G? Changes to WC??

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      More cowbell

    2. Farnborough's Finest
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Looks great. I’d just worry about the benching headache most weeks.

  13. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Alonso or Rudiger?

    Have Christensen

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Rudi, safer and you already have Christensen on a potential rotation risk. Although I think he’ll be ok this week as Silva played midweek and James out.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I hit auto-pick and it's put in Thiago Silva 😀

    3. Drogba Legend
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Rudiger to be safe. Alonso and Christensen the least nailed out of the 5-6 Chelsea defenders so reckon I'd punt with one and be safer with the second one

    4. Mufc202020
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Rud

    5. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Classic safe pick vs risky pick with more upside! Depending on your bench but I’d have some fun and get alonso

    6. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Cheers!

  14. jimmy.floyd

    Play Duffy or Williams?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Duffy

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Duffman.

      2 years, 5 months ago

      Duffy

  15. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Trent replacement?

    Rudiger
    Cancelo

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Rudi.

    2. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Long term Cancelo imo, more upside

  16. Mufc202020
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Repost- replies appreciated

    A) Start Dias & Sarr. Then Sarr to Grealish next GW
    B) Start Grealish and Semedo. Then Semedo to Dias next GW

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A

      1. Mufc202020
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Even with cancelo starting?

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Yes. City game ending 0-0.

  17. Ronanm
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    TAA to Rudgier or

    TAA and Ings to lukaku and semedo or mee (-4)

  18. JohnBlack
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Quick one, yes or no?

    Jota & Williams > ESR & Cancelo (-4)

    1. Champione
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      yes

    2. Mr Johnson
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No

    3. Netters2018
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I did the exact same move

  19. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    WC draft, which two would you pick here?

    Ramsdale (Foster)
    Rudiger *** Cancelo (Dias, Livra )
    Salah Raphinha *** ESR (Brownhill)
    Lukaku Antonio Toney

    A) Christensen and Son
    Or
    B) Alonso and Grealish

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Really like this side. I’d go for A as think son will be a brilliant pick and totally under the radar

      1. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers, not totally convinced on Son though but Villa at home is not too bad and after the int break it’s Newcastle, really like the look of that. Grealish isn’t on hot form either FPL wise.

  20. tinear
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    1. TAA to Rudiger
    2. Jota to Raph

    Thanks.

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

  22. Super Nashwan

    2. FOO FIGHTER

      And if Raphina does not play GW8?

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Suppose not

  25. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    is Son good option v.s Aston Villa ?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Plugging away but Villa better than Spurs so...

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  26. acidicleo

    2 years, 5 months ago

    No lukaku in my team..
    Not so confident of ronaldo or Antonio hauls..

    Is Raph a good captain shout?
    .

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      You are saying that you have Ronnie and ANtonio but want to cap Raphinha? Barmy.

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Antonio at home.

  27. FPL Emu
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    What do you prefer?

    A) TAA to Cancelo

    B) Jota to Sarr

    1. FPL Emu
      • 13 Years

      No City defender, got Rudiger

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Who plays instead of taa this week

      1. FPL Emu
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Williams or Livramento

        I am a United fan, kind of happy not having TAA against us. But Watford ...

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Think I’d go B then

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years

      B

  28. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Rudiger Semedo Shaw
    Salah Torres Benrahma Sarr
    Ronaldo Antonio Ings
    Steele Brownhill Tsimikas Ayling
    0ft. 2,5 itb.
    Could survive if Shaw and Torres starts.
    GTG or take hit?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Brownhill's best fixture of the season

  29. Weak Become Heros
