The Scout Squad’s best FPL players for Double Gameweek 31

The best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards for Gameweek 31 are debated by our regular panel.

ABOUT THE SCOUT SQUAD

Fantasy Football Scout contributors Az, Sam, Neale and Tom each propose an 18-man squad of Fantasy players with the focus solely on the upcoming Gameweek.

Their selections serve as a long list for the Scout Picks, as the players nominated will then be narrowed down to a squad of 15 (with the starting XI not exceeding a total cost of £83.5m) for our final weekly selection ahead of Saturday’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

*If you didn’t see it previously, we’ve started doing a ‘bus team’ Scout Picks earlier in the week in order to share our initial selection thoughts with Fantasy managers who perhaps couldn’t be around closer to the deadline – but we’ll still be publishing our final squad as we were before.

    So Trent is back in full training, but only training alone?

      If Trent plays this weekend I'll nibble my own nuts. Watford are easy meat and they'll be wanting him fully fit for the competitive games coming up.

    GK for GWs31&32?

    Keep Ramsdale with Foster as a backup or use FT to get Pope/Mendy?

      Contemplating the same. I'm free hitting 33 and WC 34 so it's just the Watford game that's a concern.

      I think you can happily go without Salah until GW36. 🙂

      I've asked myself this question every week since GW18 and still haven't brought him back yet. It's worked out pretty well so far. Especially now with more Liverpool rotation in attack he's not as essential as he once was.

        I got rid of him last week for son who I don’t really want to sell so will hold off getting back this week and then take stock next week !

        I don't see Salah being rotated much going forward ; Diaz, Jota and Mane don't naturally play on the right.

    Those wildcarding this week, does no Mee put you off getting Pope or don’t overthink it since post City it’s Everton and Norwich coming up then another double?

      Pope's Fools Gold imo. Burnley now need to leave their comfort zone and actually score goals instead of preventing them and that's going to leave him exposed to all sorts of flak.

        Could well be right.
        Which two would you go for on wildcard with bb31 in mind.
        If Ramsdale misses this week I have no keeper

      Probably not. Wait for the presser tomorrow - James may well be given more time to get ready for Madrid.

    Thoughts on this BB in gw 33 to get it done with?

    Sanchez(mci,tot)
    Maddison/Barnes(new,eve)

    Could take a hit to remove Gordon but with no WC, it may be counter productive.

    "City have the highest minutes per non-penalty expected goal"
    You mean lowest (or best).
