With just hours to go before West Ham United and Chelsea get Gameweek 2 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) underway, it’s time to finalise our Scout Picks.
We deliberated over the Scout Squad submissions made by Neale (Editor), Tom (Deputy Editor), Marc (Staff Writer) and Alex (Contributor) before coming up with our final team.
As ever, there are certain restrictions for our picks:
- An £83.0m budget for our starting XI
- An overall squad limit of £100.0m
- No more than three players per team
GAMEWEEK 2 SCOUT PICKS
GOALKEEPER
Robin Roefs (£4.5m) had a superb debut for Sunderland in Gameweek 1. The goalkeeper recorded four saves in the 3-0 win over West Ham United and ended the match with eight points. We are now backing the Dutchman to replicate that performance against a Burnley side that failed to score in their opener. Crucially, these encounters are often cagey affairs: the last three Championship meetings all resulted in the Clarets failing to score, including two goalless draws at Turf Moor.
