Which Fantasy Premier League (FPL) options will make the weekly Scout Picks for Double Gameweek 22?

That’s what our in-house team of Sam, Az, Tom and Neale are debating in this Scout Squad article.

In this feature, our panelists each put together an 18-man player longlist ahead of the upcoming Gameweek – with various stipulations, as detailed in the next section.

These selections will go a long way toward deciding the 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. Anything outside of this window, we cover in the Watchlist.

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

    8/9 red arrows lately. From 36k -> 640k.

    So I’ve got 2 FT & 2.6 ITB:

    Ward
    Trippier White Shaw
    Rashford KDB Almiron Martinelli
    Kane Haaland Toney

    Iversen Andreas Walker Bueno

    Several issues obviously, but I’m considering rolling one FT and only do: KDB -> Bruno.

    To passive play or stick with it? Cheers guys.

    1. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Almiron > Casemiro
      Andreas > Odegaard
      bench Martinelli or Kane

    2. Snake Juice
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Yep, KDB to Bruno then roll.

      Next GW you can use those 2 FTs to get KDB back, plus Almiron to Saka

    3. Quinninho
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      That’s a decent team pal, don’t worry.
      If anything, the moves I’d think of is almiron > a Brighton mid and Toney to Nketiah
      Could use the extra itb for Mahrez

      I like the KDB > Fernandes

      Good luck

      1. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Already triple City if they want Mahrez

  2. Bluetiger1
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    7 players possible missing GW25 - already transfer players in for this week with a (-4)

    a. Play Wild Card in GW25 to allow 11 to play?
    b. How to lose 4 players in GW23.GW24 & Gw25 with just an over lost of (-4) with bench
    of Bueno (Wol) Defender Castagne (Lei) on bench for GW25 which option best?

    1. Lionac
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      You're good with 8-9 players for GW25 if it saves you from using WC

  3. jason_ni
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Start
    A) Mitoma (BOU)
    B) Toney (SOU)

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      A

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      b

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Mitoma is ticking along but he's not as explosive as Toney and isnt on pens (is he?)

    3. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      B

    4. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      B

    5. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      You absolutely have to play both.

      1. Lionac
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        This

      2. jason_ni
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Bench someone else from:
        Rashford - Bruno F - Odegaard - Martinelli
        Kane - Haaland

        Tough choice lol.

        1. Brehmeren
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          Bench Martinelli

          1. mrelpea
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 6 days ago

            This

  4. Dthinger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Would it make sense to sell Kane to fund Bruno Fernandes?

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      No

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        thanks

    2. Norco
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      I toyed with it, but you'd want Kane back straight away with those fixtures. So that alone would tie up two precious transfers.

    3. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Long term no I think. Would you even be considering it if it wasnt for the City game? I take it is no easy way back to him?

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        the way back would be to sell Bruno before the BGW 25

    4. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      No only Salah

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        yeah. My head knows thats the right choice, but I've held him this long...

    5. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      I agree with the comment above that Long term its a bad move but if its for 2-3 weeks to fund these doublers I think it could be worth it, its just a question of where Kdb is at form wise and if the 3 games he has are worthy enough to feel he has enough edge over Kane considering the leicester fixture in 23 in particular.

      All this is ofcourse contingent on if ur picking between Kdb and kane as the fund for bruno

      Whats the rest of ur team ?

  5. Make FPL Casual Again
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Hmm does Martial solve my Mitoma problem ?

    Will he play both , or at least 120 minutes ?

    Toney to Martial instead of Mitoma to Bruno ?

  6. One Man
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Would this be a good we to WC ? Or are there better weeks coming up ?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      28-32 will be very hard to navigate without a WC to plan around.

      1. One Man
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Thanks.

  7. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Is Anthony as a 1 DGW punt completely bonkers? Sancho being back clearly not ideal…

  8. MrJobby
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Gw 23 - Mee to
    A - Ake
    B - Akanji
    C - Any other ??

    Already have rams , white , odegaard for arsenal

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Sell one of Ram or White to get Saka or Nketiah

      1. MrJobby
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        I’ve got 2 ft so yeah could be an option . Very good plan . Thinking easily can do White to Akanji or ake or rams to kepa and then my 3rd sub is Solanke to Nkeitah works well

        1. OptimusBlack
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          Yes that's a good plan but still think who to sell
          Ramsdale > Kepa
          White > Aké
          Maybe wait and do that GW 23
          IF you have Ramsdale White & Mee would u double with Arsenal or Play Mee

    2. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Gnonto

  9. Orion
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Which Arsenal three out of these:

    A) Zinchenko
    B) Odegaard
    C) Saka
    D) Nketiah

    Cheers!

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      BCD

    2. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      B, C, D

    3. Lionac
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      B & C for sure. Probably D as 3rd.

    4. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      BCD

  10. Lionac
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    A) Odegaard & Saka
    B) Bruno & Almiron

    Who scores more this GW? Guess it's B, but is A with transfer in hand maybe better option?

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      B this week, but A comfortably over 2 weeks you’d think…

      1. Lionac
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Can afford to have B this and A next week. Just thinking if A and B might be close on points, saving one transfer to setup for GW25 might be better option than bringing Bruno for one week punt.

  11. Paganoi
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    KDB > Bruno worth a -4?

    1. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      I don't think so

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Nope I guess

    3. Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Yep

  12. chaser123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    How did Bruno look tonight? Worth the KDB Hokey Cokey?

    I know not popular but I’m considering DDG instead as my 3rd Unitef

  13. Bollard
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Guys - will Cancelos price be frozen now hes left or could it drop? Im in a position where i could easily bench him this week and make 2 better transfers elsewhere, IF his price wasnt going to drop

  14. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Have 3 United and 3 city.

    2 arsenal with white and Odegaard.

    Really stuck with 3rd spot.

    Leaning toward ramsdale as not convinced with Kepa and wards fixtures.

    Can’t get Saka yet as own rashy, Bruno, KDB, Mahrez and Ode.

    Other move is Mitro to Nketiah

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      id get nketiah over double defence

    2. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Mitro to Nketiah best option IMO

    3. Lord of Ings
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Mitro to nketiah defo.

      1. SouthCoastSaint
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Would you all sell Toney instead?

        Thinking ahead when Toney will blank 25 and could be suspended at any point

  15. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Is it safe to do salah to Bruno (-4) now? No injury no niggle no issues?

    1. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Not looking like price changes are imminent so you have the luxury of waiting till tomorrow. No apparent issues.

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Looks like Bruno might go up no?

        1. Sheffield Wednesday
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          +88% on FPLStatistics

  16. ZimZalabim
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    What combo would you rather have for 22-23 and maybe 24 ?

    A. Kane and Mitrovic first sub (double city attack)

    or

    B. Kdb and Andreas first sub (Triple City attack for 23) - Can get Kane back in two moves.

    Basically is Kdb, Mahrez and Haaland triple up for 23 worth losing Kane, Im chasing so think I need something different.

  17. melvinmbabazi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    If I already have Martial? Hold, or switch to Bruno?

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Hold, don’t feel it’s worth using 2FT’s to get Bruno

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      My exact position.
      Was pretty fine with a -4 to move him to Bruno - but now that he's proven fit I'll be keeping, and avoiding Bruno.
      Might even roll my transfer now!

    3. Lord of Ings
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Hold martial.
      He’s more than capable of scoring off the bench and you can definitely use your transfers better elsewhere.

  18. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Ake the better option over Akanji? Currently priced the same but Ake likely to rise

    1. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Iv Ake but it’s a coin toss really

    2. Snake Juice
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Ake, very happy to have him right now

  19. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Martinelli -> Ödegaard worth a -4? Won't be able to do it next week for free anyways

    1. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      For free yes not for -4 IMO

  20. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    PS: Should sell white to get Saka
    if you have
    Tripper Mee Shaw
    (White & Patterson)
    Who is best Defender to get
    Instead of white till GW 25 ?

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Ake if budget allows

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Thxxx

  21. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Martinelli on 100.8% to fall.

    1. Norco
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Shame I can't really go anywhere if I sell him, 0.0ITB, so might just have to stick with him.

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Nah he's a don't buy don't sell don't bench situation

  22. Big Ronnie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    2FT and £1.6ITB. Even though it's for a hit leaning towards B. Think Saka outscores Martinelli over the next 4 or 5 comfortably and Bruno the priority transfer this week.

    Kepa
    Gabriel, Trippier, Shaw
    KDB, Rashford, Odegaard, Martinelli
    Haaland, Kane, Toney

    Ward, Botman, Andreas, Patterson

    A) For free
    GW22 - Martinelli & Toney to Fernandes & Gnonto
    GW23 - Fernandes to Saka

    B) -4
    GW22 - KDB & Martinelli to Fernandes & Saka
    GW23 - Fernandes & Toney to KDB & £7.2m forward (Mitro or punt on Alvarez)

  23. McPollolocco
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Who is the better option?
    a) Varane
    B) Lisandro Martinez

    Can't use Shaw in my Mini League

    1. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Martinez prob slightly better chance of playing more as Varane more injury prone and therefore more likely to miss odd game

  24. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Just can't decide between odegaard and saka. Who are you going for ? Cheers

    1. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Iv money no more object would prob go Saka

    2. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Saka

    3. sirmorbach
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Saka myself.

    4. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Both of course

    5. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Cheers all

  25. Lord of Ings
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    The best arsenal defender to go for? Budget not an issue really.
    Confused between Gabriel and zinchenko.

    1. sirmorbach
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Gab.

    2. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Gabriel has more goal threat and less likely to be rotated or subbed

    3. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Gabriel

  26. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Didn't catch the game. Salah to Bruno no-brainer? Any concern after the match?

    1. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Yes but might as well wait as no price changes imminent

      1. sirmorbach
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Thanks!

  27. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    This is what I don't understand about managers. What is the point in bringing on Rashford in a dead game and leaving Bruno on for 90mins? Makes no sense to me

    1. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Agreed. People will say rhythm but no need really. Casemiro too

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        I understand the rhythm argument but if that is the case then start him, you could argue sub appearances in a nothing game disrupt rhythm!

        1. Bennerman
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          Simply because he wanted to win the game. Surely.

          1. TheTinman
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 6 days ago

            The game tie was dead. Only egomaniacs would be seriously bothered about winning that

  28. Nazz
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Hi guys
    2ft and 0.3 ITB

    Kepa
    Trippier White Shaw
    Rashford, Bruno, KDB, Martinelli
    Haarland, Kane, Mitro

    Ward, Lewis, Andreas, Bueno

    What are good moves this week
    I was thinking
    1) Mitro - Nketiah, save FT

    1. Chipmunk
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Good team
      Good moves

  29. Firmino
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Martial worth a punt?

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      No

    2. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Can’t see him starting at weekend with his injury record

  30. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Anyone watch the United Forest game summaries how the United players done?

    - Shaw played 90 looks positive
    - Rashford 2 assists from the bench
    - Martial goal from the bench suggests don't buy don't sell.
