The best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards for Double Gameweek 33 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 Scout Picks ‘bus team’ 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.

    Would you sell either Foden or Kulu to Maddison for free? Or just keep both and play both. WC 34 or 35 so kind of a free choice for the gameweek. Thanks for any thoughts

        Far from a done deal, especially with Viera in charge and Chelsea with a Real hangover. Would love to see Palace win the cup, to see an underdog win it in a season with 3 big clubs left in it beside themselves. Bad form from Chelsea not allowing Galllagher to play.

    There is a lot of love for Wood around the traps, but an eerie hush with respect to Saint-Maximin..........I'm not quite sure why?

    Wood is a valiant battler, but ASM has class and was on a good run of form prior to the injury.

    He's got games under his belt now, and the injuries to other attackers mean he's going to be playing and prominent.

          Zero chance I'd be considering either without the double. But ASM as a downgrade on Lacazet gets me money in the bank for next week plus the double.

          Across GWs 19-24 ASM scored 9,9,1,5. Then he got injured and has now had two full 90 mins back and, as you say, he always looks good.....the eye test suggests he could easily go real big one day.

          Fraser and Willock are out so he will be the attacking focal point along with Wood. And the fixtures are great from an attacking perspective.....home to Leicester who always conceed and will now be prioritising Europe, and Palace who aren't bad defensively but always kinda feel "gettable".

          I think I've talked myself into it!
