There’s not a Liverpool or Arsenal player in sight in the Scout Picks for Gameweek 3 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

We considered the Scout Squad submissions made by Neale (Editor), Tom (Deputy Editor), Sam (General Manager) and Marc (Staff Writer) 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 3 SCOUT PICKS

GOALKEEPER

Robert Sanchez (£5.0m) gets the nod between the sticks ahead of Chelsea’s home match against Fulham on Saturday. The Spaniard has conceded just once in his two matches so far (an effort from 25+ yards, to boot), and given that Marco Silva’s side haven’t really impressed from an attacking perspective this season, a home clean sheet could well be on the cards.

    Hi guys, a question I should really know the answer to...

    I had 2FT going into this week.
    I made a transfer, but then thinking about my team, a WC was more appropriate.

    So in gw4, presumably I'll be back to 2FT?

    1. Captain Mal
      • 1 Year
      3 months, 7 days ago

      Yes.

      "Once you have played your Wildcard, any transfers you make within that Gameweek are free, including any you made before playing your Wildcard, up until the next deadline."

  9. HAMMERTIME107

      1. ShaunGoater123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 months, 7 days ago

        I don’t hate the palace fixture and quite like having something the final game of the week.

  16. Tonyawesome69
    • 6 Years
    3 months, 7 days ago

    Folks looking at Palace players, Conference League group matches start after GW6

    Conference League league phase matches:
    Matchday 1: 2 October 2025 (GW6-7)
    Matchday 2: 23 October 2025 (GW8-9)
    Matchday 3: 6 November 2025 (GW10-11)
    Matchday 4: 27 November 2025 (GW12-13)
    Matchday 5: 11 December 2025 (GW15-16)
    Matchday 6: 18 December 2025 (GW16-17)

    1. martynteresa
        3 months, 7 days ago

        There is a potential for an extra match if Palace make the 4th round of the Carboa cup, or win 4th rnd, forget what the scenario was due to fixture conflict

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 months, 7 days ago

          5th round and blank v Leeds in Gw17...

          Whoever Palace have in the league cup could double in that case, especially if they are in Europe too.

    2. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 7 days ago

      Palmer to drop in price tonight?

      1. Punned It
          3 months, 7 days ago

          No.

        • Bushwhacker
          • 6 Years
          3 months, 7 days ago

          Red flagged so safe.

      2. AnyoneButLiverpool
        • 6 Years
        3 months, 7 days ago

        Need to bench Porro, Ait Nouri, Neco Williams, Tosin and Sarr. Help me please..

        1. Punned It
            3 months, 7 days ago

            Can't help you, your bench only fits four.

            If you meant one of them, I think Tosin.

          • Mikolobaijo
            • 2 Years
            3 months, 7 days ago

            Check I already replied you

          • Oooo Matron
            • 9 Years
            3 months, 7 days ago

            Tosin easy

        2. OffsidePenalty
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 months, 7 days ago

          Bench one:
          A) Rogers
          B) Wirtz
          C) Watkins
          D) Wood

          1. Punned It
              3 months, 7 days ago

              A or B. Maybe A.

          2. lilmessipran
            • 13 Years
            3 months, 7 days ago

            Always cap Wood, safety first.

          3. adstomko
            • 9 Years
            3 months, 7 days ago

            Really like Palace's new signing Pino.
            Is there a website which shows how many defensive contributions (or the equivalent) he made last season?

            1. Mikolobaijo
              • 2 Years
              3 months, 7 days ago

              He's a winger bro
              Most likely eze replacement...he's decent could get attacking returns but just wait for now and observe

              1. adstomko
                • 9 Years
                3 months, 7 days ago

                I know he's a winger, but he tracks back a lot for the left back

          4. HarryFPL
            • 3 Years
            3 months, 7 days ago

            A) Wirtz + Reijnders

                Would you play Bruno over Gakpo or Semenyo this week?

                1. Oooo Matron
                  • 9 Years
                  3 months, 7 days ago

                3 months, 7 days ago

                Who is your captain?

                I'm on Salah other options in my team are Bruno (well not really an option), Watkins, Pedro.

                Cheers

                1. Oooo Matron
                  • 9 Years
                  3 months, 7 days ago

                  Wood, but maybe Bruno

                  1. Ajax Hamsterdam
                    • 11 Years
                    3 months, 7 days ago

                    Cheers. Gl

                2. Captain Mal
                  • 1 Year
                  3 months, 7 days ago

                  My initial plan was to captain Bruno and neither of Salah/Watkins have given me a reason to deviate.
                  If I had Pedro I might have considered him, Palmer's absence boosts his potential.
