The best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards for Gameweek 32 are debated by our regular panel.

ABOUT THE SCOUT SQUAD

Everything you ever wanted to know about the FPL Bonus Point System - part one

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.

      C

  2. DavvaMC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Who's more attacking, Sharon or Fofana?

    1. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      * schar

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Schar as he is on a few set pieces but neither could be considered attacking.

        1. DavvaMC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Probably go for Schar then.

    2. antis0cial
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Schar but neither are exactly attacking

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Sharon

      1. teneighty
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Read that in Ozzy's voice.

  3. artvandelay316
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Tierney owners, who are you replacing him with?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If you have money, upgrade to James or Laporte.
      If not, Palace, Doherty or Leicester defense.

      1. artvandelay316
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers. I have Doherty. Will probably go Palace or Leicester.

    2. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Laporte
      Doherty
      or
      Justin

  4. winchester
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Bottomed*
    What could be done here? 1ft and 3.5m itb. FH&BB left. BB36 right? Save ft?

    ramsdale
    taa rudiger doherty white
    salah saka barnes mount
    kane weghorst

    (dubravka targett ramsey broja)

    a) Mount -> Son a sideway move?

    1. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Id prefer son over mount tbh

      1. Sun God Nika
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Or weggy for toney actually

        1. winchester
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Cheers for both

        2. Jock Grealish
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          weggy has dgw coming up...easy keep 😉

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Potential captain material, away at Norwich.

            You've got to trust in the fixtures if you are following that approach.

  5. griffzinho
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Ok.. long term planning question. Percentage chances of City doubling 36? or in 37??

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      You'll have more of an idea after tonight.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        So don't have to wait for the FA cup results?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Cup results are the final factor. West Ham out of Europe would help.

  6. Sun God Nika
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Any Recommendations Guys?

    Ramsdale
    Taa Rudiger James Cancelo
    Saka Barnes Salah Ralph
    Toney Kane

    Dubraka - Ramsey Gerhadt Tierney

    Tempted to get of tierney for a minus 4 but feels unneeded this week

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Definitely wait if you can field a solid 11 without him

    2. antis0cial
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No info on transfers used / chips etc but first 11 looks good without any hits needed.

      1. Sun God Nika
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        i made a silly transfer and got rid of doherty for james instead of tierney for james.
        But not the end of the world ! will bring back next week

        1. Sun God Nika
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          got 2 FHs left

        2. FPL Insanity
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I got rid of Doherty for James last minute too, kept Reguilon instead arrgghh.

    3. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years

      cheers guys

    Best Kilman Replacement

    Tarkowski

    Rest of Back 7

    Ramsdale Dubravka

    Keane White Rudiger Doherty xxxxxxxx

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      What are you thinking?

    2. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      leicester?

  8. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Which move this week?

    A) Weghorst to Pukki
    B) Saiss to Cancelo, bench TAA

    1. antis0cial
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

  9. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    While you could say it is looking far too far ahead, what are people thinking is the best template DGW 36 Bench Boost team?
    Something like this?

    Schmeichel (EVE, NOR), Foster (cpl, EVE)
    White (LEE, tot), TAA (TOT, avl), James (WOL, lee), Doherty (liv, ARS), Williams (WHM, lei)
    Salah (TOT, avl), Saka (LEE, tot), Kulu (liv, ARS), Coutinho (bur, LIV), Havertz (WOL, lee)
    Kane (liv, ARS), Cucho (cpl, EVE) Nacho (EVE, NOR)

    Thoughts?
    Maybe Cancelo as a City single over one of the DGW players?
    or Bowen as a WHM single over someone?

    1. tokara
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Sdd Richardlison

      1. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Is that Richardson (the 4.5 guy) or Richarlison? The latter right as will be Bench Boost and want everyone playing

  10. CheesyZoot
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Play both TAA and Robbo this week?

    Or swap one out for Saiss? If so, which? Robbo?

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      city will score so not many points

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Depends if Robbo assists Trent for the first goal and TAA returns the compliment in a 2-2 draw on Sunday afternoon.

      1. Jock Grealish
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        yeah that'll happen...

        1. Simon69
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          You say that like you're not talking about the best attacking fbs in the league

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Also they're are premium price defenders and pick for attacking points.

            Anytime a decent player is benched invariable he scores a decent return.

    3. antis0cial
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'd play both and hope for an attacking return

    4. Jambot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Just play Trent and Robbo

    5. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Play both for sure. Robbo and TAA's numbers have been ridiculous.

  11. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    So here's the plan....

    GW 32 - BB
    DGW 33 - FH
    DGW 36 - FH

    Keane+Martinelli+DCL >>> Cancelo+Zaha+Cucho(-4)?

    Ramsdale Dubravka
    TAA Thiago Doherty Saiss Keane
    Salah Saka Kulusevski Raphinha Martinelli
    Kane DCL Weghorst

    2FTs. 1m in the bank.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks.

  12. Sandy Ravage

    Priority transfer this week:
    A - Tierney > Justin
    B - Salah > Son / Bruno.F
    B gives me funds to upgrade MID for DGW33

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B you have to do at your own risk. I wouldn't suggest it 🙂

  13. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Last Man Standing GW31 (179 teams)

    Safety score = 44
    Top score = 69 by Sean C
    LMS average = 50.55 (-1.43) = 49.12

    46 teams to be removed, 133 teams through to GW32.
    Up to 30% or minimum 40 out next GW
    Congrats to the final 132 & me 🙂

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      dammit... even WC couldn't save me this week

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Son or Doherty were probably needed to get through.

  14. Fuddled FC
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Would you play Schar over Cancelo this week?

    Yay / nay?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Nay

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      RMT on here wouldn't if that means anything.

    3. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Nay

  15. Gav
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Hi all,

    Planning to free hit next week (gw33) so I can’t role a transfer. I also have the other free hit which I’m weighing up to use on 36 or 37, leaning towards 37.

    Any thoughts on the team?

    Pope
    Robertson / Cancelo / white / RJames / Doherty
    Salah / Son / saka / havertz
    Kane

    Foster / Gordon / Gelhardt / 4.5 striker.

    Struggling to think of any moves for this week. Have 1.3 in the bank which means I can do Robertson to TAA but leaves me with no flexibility in gw34. Ideally I’d like to downgrade someone now to upgrade Gordon in a few weeks.

    Cheers

  16. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Bench one:

    Bowen Salah Kulusevski Saka Maddison
    Kane Weghorst Lacazette

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Lacazette

      1. Simon69
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        This

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Weg or Maddison if he has to be saved for the 2nd leg.

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

      Thinking Weghorst, even vs Norwich.

    4. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Kulusevski

  17. merin
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Best defender for a one week punt?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      James or Dawson

  18. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Terrible start from the new squad after last week's WC... where to go from here? Got BB remaining. 1FT 0.0 ITB.
    Tierney out? Could just bench him...

    Pope (Foster)
    Robertson Cancelo James* (Tierney** Livramento)
    Salah Foden Saka Martinelli (Fraser)
    Kane(c) Weghorst Cucho

    Cheers in advance all

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Can you get a refund on that wildcard? I'd play Fraser over the Horse for sure.

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I know, sucks right... it looked decent before the week started, when we obviously didn't know about Tierney's injury, thought James and Martinelli would start, thought I might get more than 6pts from 2 games from the Burnley dross...

        Cheers, will probably play Fraser yeah. Any transfers or would you roll and maybe do a mini WC before potential BB in 33?

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I always look to roll after a WC. You have a strong bench attacker this week (sort of). So it's just fingers crossed James starts really.

    2. mdm
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Tierney to White/Schar and get rid of the BB imo

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers yeah was thinking either another Arsenal defender or Doherty... maybe I'll look at Schar, or a Leicester lad.

        Assume you mean BB next week?

        1. mdm
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yes, next week

  19. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Who would you rather watch play in a match as a non-owner? I.e. which player would require the smallest sofa to hide behind?

    Trent or Salah

    Need to free up funds for my moves and need to lose one. Caveat being I have a lot of value I have tied up in Trent and probably wouldn't get him back on WC34.

    Just want to watch and enjoy the match on Sunday with as little thought about FPL as possible so I'm happy to make my decision based on this alone.

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'd be more scared of Salah, always. As good as Trent is.

  20. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Is ESR nailed in that Arsenal team now that he's fit?

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      As a new Martinelli owner, I hope not...

  21. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Raph to Maddison for free?

    1. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Could it wait a week? I see goals in the Watford v Leeds fixture.

  22. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    As bad as he is, feels criminal to bench Weghorst vs Norwich for Fraser vs Wolves...

    1. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Just posted a similar conundrum below.

  23. Rhys85
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Considering benching Weghorst this week? You can be sure if I do he'll actually score for once! I'm not sure there's anyone else I'd want to bench? I'm reluctant to bench Robbo to be fair.

    Pope
    White, James, Schär, Cancelo
    Sancho, Maddison, Saka, Raph, Salah
    Kane (c)
    (Foster, Robbo, Weghorst, Gelhardt)

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Stick him 3rd on the bench for good measure

  24. v3n0m
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Start one:
    a) Robertson
    b) Weghorst
    c) Justin

    1. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Close between a and b. A just edges it I think.

    Why is there so much love for Cucho?

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Cheap as chips, had a couple decent games recently and decent fixtures.

  26. thepancakeman123
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Couple benching decisions this week... who would you bench?

    A) Sa
    B) Dubravka

    and

    1) Robertson (I have Trent obvs)
    2) Coady

      The way Chelsea are going, not them. James should be saved for CL and Rudiger should really be dropped as he's been at fault for at least a goal in the last 2.

        Rudiger can't be dropped because Sarr isn't great, who is the only other player Tuchel plays at left centre back. Christensen and Chalobah have only ever been on the right on the three

          Tough times ahead then. Confidence must be pretty low leaking 7 in the last 2.

            Chelsea had conceded less league goals than Liverpool before that Brentford game. So you'd like to think it takes more than 2 games to completely ruin their confidence, given how well the defence had done up to that point.

              Newcastle had good defence until last GW too. Chelsea can't handle pressing and S'ton will be full of that.
