Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers are usually thinking weeks and months ahead when it comes to their moves but Gameweek 16 is the last round of fixtures before unlimited transfers are granted, so one-week purchases are all we’re interested in.

The Scout Squad and the Scout Picks articles have even more relevance than usual this week, therefore, as they deal only with the upcoming Gameweek.

In the Scout Squad, our in-house panel of Sam, Az, Tom and Neale each put together an 18-man player longlist ahead of Saturday’s deadline.

These selections will go a long way toward deciding Friday’s final Scout Picks, with the FPL assets receiving the most votes in with a better chance of making the cut.


ABOUT THE SCOUT SQUAD

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

Our four resident writers are solely focused on the upcoming Gameweek with their selections.

The players who get the most votes are much more likely to make the Scout Picks, although the final XI can’t exceed £83.0m – so occasionally, cheaper alternatives have to be found.

Each of our writers must meet the following requirements for this feature:

  • At least one sub-£5.0m goalkeeper
  • At least one sub-£5.0m defender
  • At least one sub-£6.0m midfielder
  • At least one sub-£7.0m forward
  • No more than three players from the same club

    Garnacho has no right to be performing like this at 18. So excited about him.

    1. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Will he start against Fulham?

  2. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years

    Pull the trigger on Mitro >> Darwin tonight or wait? Got 0.2. wriggle room and afford a rise and a fall.

    Guaita

    Cancelo - Tripps - Webster

    KDB - Rashford - Saka - Zaha
    Haaland(C) - Wilson - Mitro**
    (Ivo | Neco - Kilman - Andreas)

    1. Francescoli
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Might as well wait if you have the wriggle room

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wait

  3. FPL Mentor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Anything worth doing here with a FT?

    Pope
    Cancelo Gabriel Trippier
    Bilva Martinelli Maddison Zaha
    Haaland Wilson Darwin

    Iversen / Antony* / Neco / Emerson

    0.3m itb

    1. Francescoli
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Iverson to Ward and play him over Pope? Or Pope to Ramsdale?

    2. zdrojo187
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Pope to Sanchez

  4. Yes Ndidi

    Good evening.
    Best use of 1FT and 2.6m if you wouldn't mind please

    Ward
    Cancelo Trippier Cresswell/Gabriel (still not sure which 3 from 4 here)
    Foden Saka Martinelli Almiron
    Haaland Kane Wilson

    (Kepa Andreas Guehi)

    a. Kepa > Allison
    b. Wilson > Darwin
    c. both for a -4 and fingers crossed it pays off in one GW
    d. Something else

    leaning A at the mo

    1. Francescoli
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I like B personally

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years

      B

    3. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A. but not Alisson. Southampton will win this game.

      1. Yes Ndidi
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Already maxed out on City, Toon & Arse though, and I don't know I'd want any other keeper. Lloris maybe, home to Leeds?

  5. Francescoli
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Pope
    Cancelo Doherty Trippier
    Salah Zaha Foden Martinelli

    A) Pope to Ramsdale
    B) Doherty to Gabriel
    C) Mitro to Solanke
    D) Wilson and Mitro to Solanke and Darwin (-4)

    1. Yes Ndidi
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      C for me.

      1. Yes Ndidi
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I like D as well, but this really depends on both W & M being out to pay off.

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      D

    3. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      C looks best.

      Mitro, Zaha to Kane, 4.2m. Play Kane, Andreas.

    Please solve my benching headache by benching 2 out of -

    A) Vvd (SOU )
    B) Trippier (CHE)
    C) Saka (wol)
    D) Wilson (CHE)
    E) Shaw (ful)

    1. Cantonesque
      • 4 Years

      Start A and C. Narrows it down a bit anyway.

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years

      Bench A, E.

    3. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not saying they won’t return, but easily D and E among that lot imo

    4. Totalfootball
      • 9 Years

      Thanks all

  7. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Pope
    Cancelo - Trippier - Castagne
    Salah - KDB - Martinelli - Rashford - Andreas
    Haaland - Wilson

    Iversen - Greenwood - Guehi - Williams

    1FT, 0ITB.

    Anything to do here with the free transfer or good to go?

    Weighing up Ramsdale or Bailey tbh.

    1. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Solid team. I wouldn't change anything. Wilson to Martial could be something to catch the low ownership of the later.

      1. FPL Brains
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He looked a tad rusty today, but to be expected I guess.

  8. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Choose one:
    a) play Gomez
    b) play Kehrer
    c) transfer Gomez --> Gabriel

  9. FPLMACKEM

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      A

    2. CherryBoys
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Jeez, what’s wrong with ‘correct’ names instead of cryptic clues that so called ‘casuals’ can understand?

  11. Kay317
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone think it's Martial is worth a punt for this week? Would be in for Wilson.

    1. :
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Martial non essential. I doubt very much that he can make it all the way to London this weekend without mishap.

  12. liboo

    Logic to sell firmino and get nunez ?

    Yay or nayy ?

    1. ManUtdFan977
      • 6 Years

    2. Sho-kun

  13. Letsgo!

  14. Letsgo!
    • 9 Years

    Not sure to start wilson or andreas

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'd start Wilson. Sounds like he should be ok....not 100% on that but he's had plenty of rest now.

  15. ManUtdFan977
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I’m looking to get haaland back in after selling last week mitro to haaland and kdb to who?
    Rashford or trossard can’t get almiron already on 3 newcastle

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years

      Benrahma

  16. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Ward
    Trippier-TAA-Cancelo-Saliba
    Foden-Trossard-Salah(VC)-Almiron
    Wilson-Haaland(C)
    Kepa-Andreas-Castagne-Mitrovic

    Mitro to Solanke and sit Wilson??
    Or............

  17. dansmith1985
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Do we think Jesus to Darwin will be worth it this week?

  18. Ray Kinsella
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    City fans, is it worth holding KDB and Alvarez this week, and praying Haaland / Julian share the goals?

  19. Offside
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is Cancelo Suspended after the Red card?

    On my fantasy team it says not.

    If so, Cancelo to Robertson or Perisic?

    I'm hedging to non WC attending players as they may be feeling more free to fully commit.

    1. badchauncey
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Cancelo is back. Because it was a red for 1 game, he served it in the league cup. the "5 yellow card" suspension only applies to EPL games - which is why Dalot played this week and is out this game. I would suspect years ago players might intentionally get that 5th yellow to miss a league cup game.

      1. Offside
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Ah thanks, I need to rethink then. I was wondering why no one was transferring Cancelo out.

        Xaka to Summerville, Olise maybe just for the sake of a.punt.
