Scout Squad

The Scout Squad’s best players for FPL Double Gameweek 37

There are selection dilemmas to be discussed across the park as the best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards for Gameweek 37 are debated by our regular panel.

Our Squad Squad crew have given universal support to nine players this week, seven of which have two fixtures in this final Double Gameweek of the campaign.

There is still plenty of support for the ‘single’ Gameweekers, however, with Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool assets particularly fancied.

ABOUT THE SCOUT SQUAD

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

In this series, Fantasy Football Scout contributors Sam, Neale, Tom and Az 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 Sunday’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

    2 assists late night. On a double, is Barnes a keeper?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      might as well keep now

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I wouldn't get him on FH but a pretty nice keep if you still have him.

    3. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Yes

  2. The Final Boss
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Guys Saka didn't train??

    1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      No?

    2. quayle99
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      had a knock but no serious injury, I'm guessing he's fit and Arteta keeping his team secrets

  3. Mozumbus
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Nailed DGW defender for FH37, budget 4.2, other than Holgate or Amartey

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Gamble on Tsimikas?

      1. Mozumbus
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        He's got one match and already have him first on the bench as backup

    2. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Don't think there are any.

      1. Mozumbus
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Then who's be the best defender under 4.2 from a single match team not Tsimikas?

    3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Find 0.1m and go for Clyne? Or Holgate?

  4. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    How come I don’t have my 2nd FH? I spent one only. Pls help

    1. captainpeacock
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      If you used your first FH last game week then you can't you it this game week (it cannot be used in consecutive weeks sadly)

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Seems you used BB last GW?
      Link your team?

  5. L S P
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Last two spots on my FH:

    A) Kane/Foden
    B) KDB/Watkins

    Full team:

    Pickford
    TAA-Cash-Digne-Myko
    Salah-Son-Zaha-XXX
    Richarlison-XXX

    1. quayle99
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      id go B

    2. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Kane Ings and downgrade mf

    3. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      B

  6. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Got rid of Mahrez, Kane and Salah on my FH37 team. Got KdB, Son and Diaz instead.

    Watch Mahrez haul now and KdB get rested.

    1. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Kane and Salah can haul as well

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      would be more concerned about getting rid of Kane and Salah

  7. quayle99
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Tempted with -4 kulu to Zaha... yay or nay?

    1. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Not for a hit. Tempting though.

    2. Brewstercat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Probs not before Burnley at home :/

  8. Mozumbus
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Any news on Guita?

  9. Chipmunk
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Salah ?

    On FH,
    Would you keep or use cash to add more DGW players?
    I.e
    Salah > Jota-Maddy-Coutinho
    Nket >Vardy-Watkins

    Plz rate.
    0 bank.

    Pickford*
    Cancelo / TAA / Cash* / Digne*
    KDB(c) / Salah / Son / Zaha*
    Nket / Rich’son*

    Steele / Brownhil*l / Gelhardt / Tsimikas

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      See above.

      I have binned him for KdB on my FH.

    2. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Keeping Salah. Not having him can ruin it.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Yes, cos he's been really tearing it up of late and people without him have really been punished.....

        1. Mozumbus
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Not captaining him is the enough risk my guts allow 😀

        2. ViperStripes
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Liverpool need to get teh Goal Difference back

  10. oj_manning
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    My free hit team

    Pickford
    Cash - Digne - Mykolenko
    Son - Salah - Zaha - Maddison
    Kane - Ings - Richarlison

    Subs - Gallagher - Fofana - Clyne

    What would people change? I have enough in the bank to upgrade Son to KDB

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I would keep Son, I'd rather downgrade Kane to get KDB.

      1. Bavarian
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        This and bring Liverpool defender

    2. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      This is a very nice team. I'd keep Son.

    3. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I was targeting same starting eleven but suffering from low TV, deposit making cheapest bench

    4. Dollyems15
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I have pretty much same starting 11 only difference is I am thinking jota or Diaz instead of maddison

    5. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Same, only kdb and kdh over Zaha an Maddison

  11. Traction Engine Foot
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    How's this FH looking? Bench too crap?

    Pickford
    Robertson Mykolenko Digne
    Salah Son KDB Maddison Zaha
    Ings Richarlison
    Steele Tsimikas Williams Richardson

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Unless you are on BB I wouldn't worry about it.

      1. ebb2sparky
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Not sure about that. I think one reasonable option on the bench is advisable. Would be quite frustrating to play a FH and not end up with 11 players!

        Otherwise team looks great. Pretty much identical to what I’ve got planned.

    2. StellaMan
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Looking good

    3. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Thanks both.

  12. Prinzhorn
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Does anybody know whether Guehi and Ben White are playing?

    Should I take a hit to get rid of them? (Bench boosting this GW)

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Ben White is expected to play I think, you'll find out tonight anyway. No idea on Guehi.

  13. StellaMan
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    FH this week or save for GW38?

    GUITA (ramsdale)
    FOFANA, CASH, Trent (Alonso/Davies)
    MADDISON, Son, Salah, Kev , GORDON
    RICH, Ntkieth (Pukki)

    Want rid of Pukki and poss Fofana/Guita depending on fitness

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      With that team I think you might as well save it for next week and go all in on Spurs.

    2. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      That is a very good looking team for both weeks. I guess the fitness of Guaita swings it

      1. StellaMan
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Thanks think this is the problem the is fine for both weeks!
        Still fancy a roll of the dice with Zaha/Vardy this week but don't want to ruin balance

  14. Malinwa
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Thought on my FH team please.

    Pickford
    Digne - Robertson - Cash
    KDB - Salah - Son - Zaha - Gordon
    Ings - Richarlison(c)

    McGovern - Tsimi - Amartey - Richardson

  15. Ronnies
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Do we think Maddison plays last 3 fixtures?

    Watford, Chelsea SOTON

    Double gameweek and then Soton.

    Cheers.

    1. No Kane No Gain
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I think he plays all 3. Maybe he plays Watford, cameo V Chelsea and plays Soton?!

      Either way, I reckon 180 mins minimum worst case scenario unless another injury appears.

  16. More Cowbell
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Hey everyone,
    Why are people preferring Robbo to TAA in their FH teams? Is it purely a form thing?
    Cheers,
    Stuart

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Robbo had his rest.

  17. SKENG
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Can I please get your thoughts on this team? Got 1 FT and 0.3m ITB (no chips left).

    Schmeichel
    TAA Cancelo James Silva
    Salah Son Kulusevski Saka Havertz
    Richarlison

    Steele Gelhardt Broja Doherty

    A) Havertz > Zaha
    B) Silva > Cash
    C) Doherty > Holgate
    D) smth else??

    Thanks!

    1. Heisenberg W. W.
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      B or A

  18. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    I have to drop one of these on FH:
    Ings, Richarlison, Zaha

    Who would you lose?

    1. Heisenberg W. W.
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Zaha

    2. rnrd
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I'd drop Ings.
      Actually I odn't really understand the hype around Ings.

      He hasn't proven anything this year
      He's super injury prone
      I don't think he is nailed in this Villa team for a double

      1. L S P
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        agree

      2. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        I agree his minutes don't seem that good. He was gonna get taken off first in the Pool game but was kept on the pitch because Watkins got injured.

        But he is a proven goal scorer in an attacking Villa side with two attackable home fixtures.

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Ings

    4. im1974
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Ings

  19. Heisenberg W. W.
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Thoughts on my FH team

    Pickford
    Cash-Digne-Alonso
    Zaha-Kulu-Salah-Son-Kdb
    Richarlison-Ings

    (Okanwo-Amartey-Tsimikas-4.4m)

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Can you make Alonso into Cancelo or Robbo?

      1. Heisenberg W. W.
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Just about managed to come up with the following:0 ITB

        Pickford
        Cash-Digne-Robbo
        Zaha-Gordon-Salah-Son-Kdb
        Richarlison-Ings

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          I like that team.

          You must have really low TV.
          I can get Kane + Cancelo over Robbo + Ings.

          1. Heisenberg W. W.
            • 3 Years
            1 year, 11 months ago

            Yes its around 103.2

  20. Prinzhorn
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    BB 37:

    Schmeichel - Forster
    Robertson - Cancelo - James - Guehi - White
    Salah - Saka - Zaha - Kulusevski - Gordon
    Kane - Richarlison - Gelhardt

    0.2ITB 0FT

    anything worth a hit?

    1. Brewstercat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Will James play after FA Cup final? I’d look at something like James to Andersen, Gelhardt to someone better you can afford. Nketiah? Weghorst even?

  21. Letsgo!
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Vardy will play two games for gw37?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Could easily be a sub in one.

      1. rnrd
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        He'll play against Chelsea because he will be the counter attack main threat
        Why wouldn't he play against watford which is 4 days after their last match against norwich

        Norwich -- 4 days -- Watford -- 4 days -- Chelsea

        The southampton game 3 days after the chelsea one is a bit of a risk though although it's the last of the seaon

  22. TheDane
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Who would you pick, Vardy or Ings?
    I am for some reason not so kean on Richarlison.

    1. Heisenberg W. W.
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Ings

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Ings.

  23. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    How is this for FH team? Defending ML lead with Cash+Salah+Kane
    Which one better? Currently on A) any suggestions?

    A)

    Pickford
    Cash, Digne, Robertson, Mykolenko
    Salah, Son, Zaha
    Kane, Watkins/Ings, Richarlison
    Steele, Tsimikas, KDH, Brownhill
    0,7 ITB

    B) Mykolenko+Brownhill -> Andersen+Gordon

  24. asr
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    FH37 V6

    Pickford
    Cash Digne Mykolenko
    Salah KDB Son Zaha
    Kane Richarlison Ings

    3.9 KDH Tsimikas 3.8

    1. Heisenberg W. W.
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      looks good

    2. cruzex
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      vardy over kane...

  25. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Who to bench from this lot:

    Ramsey*, Kulu, KDB, Coutinho*, Saka
    Jesus, DCL*, Kane

    I could do Jesus > Watkins/Richarlison and at least gain a DGW player and bench Ramsey or Cout.

    1. Brewstercat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Yeh I’d bench Ramsey. Feel like his stats have dropped.
      Jesus to Rich, Watkins or Ings sounds good to me

  26. Threat Level Midnight
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Best week in my 5 years of FPL. Cut a 60 pt ML deficit to 3. 170 with Kulu still to go. Taking a second to celebrate it. Lol

    1. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Best week for me as well probably ever since 2006/2007 season!
      From behind 110p in ML -> Leading with 19p
      Former ML leader said he is quitting FPL

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Now that is impressive. Would love to see more of these stories related to the swings.

    2. Brewstercat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      That’s incredible. Well done mate. Enjoy!

  27. Brewstercat
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Would love some feedback on my FH 🙂 would you move TAA to Robbo, and say, cancelo to Andersen?
    Or move KDB for Kane?

    Pickford
    TAA cancelo Cash
    Salah Son KDB Zaha Gordon
    Richarlison Ings
    Bench all fodder

  28. cruzex
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Guys, No Love For Vardy this dgw?

    Vardy over Kane is good bet?

    1. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I'm going to take the punt

  29. Shaw must go on
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Would you FH the following team??
    Lloris
    Cancelo, Taa, Laporte, castagne
    Son, Salah, Diaz, Phoden
    Richarlison, Watkins
    Don't know what to do.. Plan was to use it in Gmw37, but not so sure now..

    1. tokara
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      No

    2. Haa-lala-land
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      My tip would be to remember FH doesn't mean to feel like you have to swap all 11 of your players for the sake of it, it can be just to swap round a couple or so, and look at it as saving a few points on hits.

  30. Peps Pups
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Currently have no Villa players, but have 3 Leicester, and 3 everton doublers already. Which option you taking :-

    (A) Werner & Saka -> Ings & Zaha (-4)
    (B) Werner & TAA -> Ings & Cash/Digne (-4)
    (C) Werner -> Ings (no hit)

    1. tokara
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      A
