Scout Picks

FPL Gameweek 20 Scout Picks: Liverpool players return to the fray

We have chosen our best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players for Gameweek 20 ahead of today’s 13:30 GMT deadline.

There are seven selections from Tuesday’s round of matches as we try to avoid too many unnecessary risks, given the potential for more late-in-the-week postponements – it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Everton v Newcastle United fall, for example, given the myriad injury and illness issues at both clubs.

We have gone for a 4-5-1 formation this time and, as ever, we are limited to an £83.0m budget for our starting XI.

Our four substitutes, meanwhile, are chosen from the budget/mid-price crop of players to give some potentially cost-effective alternatives to the big hitters who invariably make the initial cut.

GOALKEEPER

Crystal Palace aren’t exactly in stellar defensive form but they’ll have every chance to boost their meagre clean sheet count on Tuesday, when the division’s lowest scorers pay a visit to Selhurst Park. With none of the Eagles’ defenders offering too much in the way of attacking threat, Jack Butland (£4.4m) gets the nod as a budget-freeing pick between the sticks. Patrick Vieira’s side, as every stats nerd will keep reminding you, boast the fifth-lowest expected goals conceded (xGC) tally this season, with those underlying numbers so far not translating into shut-outs.

      Much better than yesterday, like the lack of Chelsea 😉

      Maybe consider replacing Livra

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 12 Years

        Haha I listened to you. Cheers

      Now that's a real nice squad for both short and long term Bobby 🙂 Do you have a provisional plan for Salah('s funds)? Squad strong enough to arguably not even need to use a FH in 21/22

      1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        that's gameweek 21/22 obvs not the year lol

        1. Bobby_Baggio
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Lol got it. Tempted to use Salah funds for KDB

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Maupay to make your day

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

    I was going to bring in another keeper this week because Ramsdale isn't playing today but I've just seen Wilson has an injury.

    Should I still do
    A) Keeper transfer Foster>deGea (FT) will need to play Livra to field 11
    B) Foster>DeGea Wilson>Broja -4 to field 11
    C) Wilson>Broja and play with no goalkeeper

  7. iL PiStOlErO
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Bitting the bullet and going without Mo cause have 11 players without FH and it will mess up the team. But dont know on what I should use other transfer? Don't want to burn it so maybe Broja to Edouard? Or Second gk?

    DDG
    TAA Rudi Cancelo
    Son Jota Bilva Bowen
    CR7 Broja Dennis

    3.9. White Tierney D. Luiz

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

    WC went OK with 70 points

    Thinking - 4 on
    Martinelli to Jota
    Lacazette to Edouard or King ( thinking Edouard)

    Subject to any late news good moves and is team gtg? I know Mahrez may be benched should play one of next 2 before leaving for AFCON so don’t think worth another hit

    DDG
    TAA James Cancelo Reguilon
    Son (c) Jota Mahrez Bowen
    Ronaldo Edouard

    Sanchez Broja Dalot Saka*

  10. Muscout

    3. Big_Andy_GAWA

  14. GC123
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Help needed. C Wilson & Raphinha to

    1. Maddison & King (allows defensive upgrade next week

    Or

    2. Lanzini (or alternative £6.2 or below, already have Gallagher) & Antonio

    Thanks

  15. Teror
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Moura or Bowen?

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Everyone is saying Bowen but he could be our new Mbuemo.

  16. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    a) Ramsdale & Laca > DDG & Antonio
    b) Laca & Watkins > Kane & Broja (no starting keeper)

  17. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    2FT and desperately want to do Bilva to Foden, but no money ITB so would have to either downgrade James to Reguillon, Odegaard to a 4.9m mid or Watkins to Eduardo.

    Seems a shame to lose Odegaard, but their fixtures do get tougher over the next few weeks.

    Hmmmm….

  18. Alli
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    1) Ramsdale > DDG
    2) Foster > Sanchez

    A) Wilson / Lacazette > Antonio
    B) Raphinha > Moura / Maddison / Gallagher

      1. Danstoke82
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I did this very move. Kane seems to be rediscovering some form, United on the other hand look woeful.

  21. Bod
    • 12 Years
