The best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards for Double Gameweek 22 are discussed as the Scout Squad returns after its winter break.

For those new to this feature, it’s a weekly piece that always takes the form of a ‘Free Hit’-type selection for the upcoming Gameweek.

Fantasy Football Scout contributors Az, Sam, Neale and Tom each propose an 18-man long-list of Fantasy players, explaining their notable inclusions and omissions in the article below.

The Scout Squad also serves as a precursor to the Scout Picks, as the players listed will then be narrowed down to a squad of 15 (with the starting XI not exceeding a total cost of £83.0m) for final our weekly selection ahead of Friday’s deadline.

Each writer must meet the following requirements:

  • At least one goalkeeper costing £5.0m or less
  • At least one sub-£5.0m defender
  • At least one midfielder listed at £6.5m or below
  • At least one forward priced at £7.0m or lower
  • No more than three players from the same club

    Son > Maddison for free? Also is Antonio or DCL worth losing as part of a -4 to bring in Ronaldo (C)??

      If you do that you'll still have Salah and Son next week - and will have wasted the 2ft - it's one or the other I'm afraid.
      I'd not play the FH with 2 ft. TAA could we'll play. Salah -> Madison, Watkins -> Kane or CR7 and maybe Son -> Moura or similar?

          Yeah, think so. The extra FT and the fact you have Dennis for the double makes it very doable.

    Morning. After 78 pts last week and a rise of 200k,; this week I scored 71 but only rose from 202k to 193k. That must have been a brutal week for some. I think this game week has the potential to be a real rank changer depending on how much the DGW players perform and what strategy you back.
