The Scout Squad’s best players for FPL Gameweek 27

A bit later than usual this week, our in-house team of Sam, Marc, Tom and Neale each put forward the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) names they think should make Friday’s final Scout Picks.

Our panelists submit 18-man player longlists with the focus just on the upcoming Gameweek – and with various stipulations, as detailed in the next section.

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 newly updated 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

    £3.1m in the bank and any moves would be for a -4, anything you'd shift to maybe get another doubler in?

    Kepa
    Trent - Estupinan - Trippier
    Rashford - Saka - Martinelli - Mitoma
    Toney - Haaland - Kane

    Ward - Andreas - Akanji - White

        Both those games can be high scoring, though (or at least that's the thought process!)

      Salah fixtures pretty bad for 29, no point going through that trouble

      I'd honestly just roll, Maddison and Zinchenko are good bench options. I'd also start Sánchez just in case something mad happens

    Pick one on WC..

    A) Odegard
    B) Martinelli
    C) Maddison

    Plan to do BB29 and hence leaning towards C and 2 x Arsenal (Saka + defender) till then!!

    Any thoughts?

    Rashford or Kane maybe?

    Much nicer fixtures, and more likely to get the points

      I wouldn't feel comfortable going with Kane as Spurs do not have the form.

      Rashford could go well & might consider more if BRE/BHA had only 1x good fixture, but they have 2x good fixtures.

    WC team, I don't like my bench choices but feel I have no other option as I have to play the doublers!

    Steele (Ward)
    Trip / Estu / Henry (Cash / White)
    Mac A / Rash / Salah / Jensen (Saka!?)
    Toney / Haaland / Kane

    Ok??

              I mean, if you think Kane is important then go with it. But Spurs are so bad I'd never cap him so I don't think he's worth making sacrifices for. Wouldn't be much wriggle-room with this team to upgrade Jensen and you will presumably need your bench in the blanks

    On a wildcard right now. Plan is Mitoma to Bailey in BGW28, then Zinchenko to Shaw for DGW29 and Kane to Haaland in GW30. £0.1m ITB

    Kepa // Ward
    Trippier Estupiñán Henry // Zinchenko Botman
    Salah Saka Rashford Martinelli Mitoma
    Kane Toney // Watkins

    Premium options?
    A: Haaland + Maddison
    B: Salah + Watkins

    Any recommendations for the Arsenal boys?
    1: Martinelli + Zinchenko
    2: Martinelli + White
    3: Ødegaard (if fit) + White

    Cheers all

    Is it crazy that Im considering putting King Kev on the bench? I feel he has been looking a bit tired in recent matches. But has the ability to put one on the Norse Gods head at any moment?

    Raya
    Trippier / Estupinan / Pinnock / Shaw
    Rashford / Saka / March
    Haaland / Toney / Kane

    Bench: KDB / White / fodder

    March to Billing for free, then reverse next week?

    Only issue is £0 ITB so if March goes up I cannot get back to him, maybe just roll but I've only got 8 players in GW28
