With Gameweek 6 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) nearing, it’s time to nail down our Scout Picks for the upcoming round of fixtures.

Our in-house team have put their heads together to produce the following selection.

As ever, certain restrictions limit us:

  • An £83.0m budget for our starting XI
  • An overall squad limit of £100.0m
  • No more than three players per team

GAMEWEEK 6 SCOUT PICKS

FPL Gameweek 6 Scout Picks: Man City triple-up 3

GOALKEEPER

Djordje Petrovic (£4.5m) is our chosen goalkeeper after three of our Scout Squad pundits included him in their submissions. The 25-year-old is playing in front of a defence that has proved to be both resolute and organised so far, and could be in line for a fourth clean sheet of the season. Leeds United, meanwhile, are yet to score a goal from open play at Elland Road. They also rank 20th for non-penalty expected goals (NPxG).

        My first year playing, too. Someobody tell me whether to start Porro or Gabriel

        1. GoonerSteve
          • 16 Years
          2 months, 9 days ago

          Me also.

      A

    5. Bobbyg1

      C

    6. Pompel
      • 11 Years

      I like B if you intend to keep Richie for a stretch

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

    Wildcard squad, £0.9m itb but carrying 0 FTs.

    Plan to BB Gw8, so Grealish to I Sarr in the next two weeks.

    Is Richarlison over Pedro for the next few games a decent punt?

    Raya Dúbravka
    Gabriel Chalabah Romero Senesi Mukiele
    Semenyo Eze Reijnders Grealish Stach
    Haaland Isak Pedro

    1. TekkerDude
      • 1 Year
      2 months, 10 days ago

      I think so - as long as you’re aware it is a 2-3 week punt and ur happy to spend a transfer going to JP in GW9

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

        I think so partly because it's the 8pm Saturday game and I'm a sucker for matches under the lights.

        But Spurs burn me so often and BHW are porous as well as having an attacking edge...

        It's definitely a differential play which makes me more inclined to do so.

    2. Bruno Commando
      • 11 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      Would prefer to stick with Pedro

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

        I know

        I'm close to both scenarios, like 45-55 and I've not had Pedro yet this season, so been missing out on points.

        I'm about 1.7m OR but lacked Pedro, Senesi etcso far. I went early on Senesi last season but thought their defence would take a while to gel again.

        Every time I pick Pedro he flops for me too.

        1. Bruno Commando
          • 11 Years
          2 months, 10 days ago

          Seems like there is some PTSD for you regarding JPedro! To be honest if you don't mind spending a FT to switch Richarlison to JPedro a few GWs down the road, I think it's fine too.

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            2 months, 9 days ago

            Cheers

            I'm mostly through my trauma now.

            If it's just fantasty points foregone I'll deal with that week to week!

  3. TekkerDude
    • 1 Year
    2 months, 10 days ago

    Who on earth do I bench out of these lot?

    Semenyo (Lee)
    Ndiaye (WHU)
    Bruno (Bre)
    Reijnders (BUR)
    Kudus (Wol)
    Haaland (BUR) and no
    Gyokores (New)
    Mateta (LIV)

    I’m on gyokores right now as I think that game has 0-0 potential and we’ve seen gyokores isn’t good against good defences at all - help me

    1. Spoox777
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      Ndiaye (WHU)
      or
      Kudus (WOL)

      1. EDEN THE MAN
        • 9 Years
        2 months, 10 days ago

        Benching Kudus is an absurd idea

        1. TekkerDude
          • 1 Year
          2 months, 10 days ago

          That’s what I think, his predicted points are the best after Haaland in that list - what’s your opinion on who I should bench Eden?

          1. EDEN THE MAN
            • 9 Years
            2 months, 10 days ago

            Would probably bench Gyok ngl

        2. g40steve
          • 7 Years
          2 months, 9 days ago

          This 100%

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      Gyökeres

      1. TekkerDude
        • 1 Year
        2 months, 10 days ago

        Thanks for the confirmation bias

    3. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      2 months, 9 days ago

      Gyokeres

  4. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    Why is Porro likely not starting?

    1. TekkerDude
      • 1 Year
      2 months, 10 days ago

      Because he played 90 against Doncaster in the league cup - I personally think he will still start tjough

    2. #1 Salah Hater
      • 1 Year
      2 months, 10 days ago

      Bodo away on Tuesday which is a much tougher fixture than Wolves at home.

    3. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 months, 9 days ago

      Thanks guys

    Hey fam! GTG? Did Rogers & Ekitike to Semenyo & JP with my 2 FTs and exact money.

    Dubravka
    Cucurella Munoz VDV
    Salah Semenyo Kudus Reijnders
    Haaland(TC) JP Wood

    Somehow, Wirtz is still in my team. Watkins got the heave-ho this week! Wirtz survives yet again.

    Shows you how bad my team was that Wirtz hasn’t been the most urgent player to get rid of yet! Sad, but true, folks!

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

      Holding your wildcard still?

    2. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      2 months, 9 days ago

      I couldn't sleep at night with 8.2 Wirtz in my team

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 months, 9 days ago

        And dropping

        He'll be okay

        By Gw16

  7. GE
    • 9 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    Where to sacrifice on this Wildcard? (plan to BB in GW8/9)
    I’m 0.3 short for this team.
    Plan to switching between 4-3-3 and 3-4-3

    Vicario (Dubravka)
    Gabriel/Chalobah/Senesi (Burn, Rodon)
    Bruno/Foden/Reijnders/Semenyo (Stach)
    Haaland/Gykokeres/Pedro

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      Gabriel -> Calafiori
      Vicario -> Petrovic
      Burn -> VdV
      Stach -> King

      One of those maybe

  8. Evasivo
    • 15 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    Are you a shield or a sword?

    C or TC Haaland this GW?

    *though tbf TC could be in any of his next 5 games

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 9 days ago

      TC, nearly 1m new owners last time to make huge gains

      1. Evasivo
        • 15 Years
        2 months, 9 days ago

        Good man!

  9. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    Better option on WC?

    A) Calafiori & Bruno
    B) Gabriel & Mbuemo

    1. Bruno Commando
      • 11 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      B

    2. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      B

  10. klopp it guys
    • 8 Years

    Triple captain haaland?

    A. Yes
    B. No

    1. Bruno Commando

      No

    2. Quality Quality Qualit

      A

    3. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      Depends on how risk averse you are 😉

      1. klopp it guys
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 10 days ago

        Hahaha I really don't know what to do

        1. Evasivo
          • 15 Years
          2 months, 10 days ago

          Grab your:

          A) Balls
          B) Handbag

    4. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 9 days ago

      Yes see answer above

  11. Bruno Commando
    • 11 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    On WC6 and thinking to have a couple of differential picks. Not a fan of Ndiaye hence thinking if Foden/Kudue will be worth a punt.

    1) Kudus + Gvardiol + 0.7 ITB
    2) Foden + Burn

    Raya // Dubravka
    Gabriel Senesi VDV // _____ Mukiele
    Bruno Semenyo _____ Reijnders // Stach
    (H)aaland JPedro Gyokeres

    1. TekkerDude
      • 1 Year
      2 months, 10 days ago

      Xavi Simmons?

      1. Bruno Commando
        • 11 Years
        2 months, 10 days ago

        Do you think he is a better Spurs attacking pick? Haven't watched them much but Kudus seem to be rather popular!

        1. TekkerDude
          • 1 Year
          2 months, 10 days ago

          I do - kudus is like grealish - great for assists but ZERO goal threat, although with Simon’s minutes somewhat uncertain perhaps the best thing would be to stay away from the spurs attack all together

          1. Bruno Commando
            • 11 Years
            2 months, 9 days ago

            I see! Thanks for sharing. Doing some reading about the both of them and you might be right. Might go with Foden!

    2. ball c
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      2
      Or a 4.5m def instead of Burn
      Andersen maybe

      1. Bruno Commando
        • 11 Years
        2 months, 10 days ago

        Thanks! Foden seem to be a promising differential for the current fixture run!

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

      Foden and Romero?

      1. Bruno Commando
        • 11 Years
        2 months, 10 days ago

        Already have VDV hence looking at Newcastle who has been pretty good defensively

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 months, 9 days ago

          What's their fixtures like?

          It put me off, similar to Fulham and Palace to an extent defensively.

  12. supercolso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    KDH or Rodgers?

    1. ball c
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      KDH

    2. TekkerDude
      • 1 Year
      2 months, 10 days ago

      For what? To bench - Rogers
      To transfer in- none of the above

    3. Snoopydog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      2 months, 9 days ago

      Gonna be contrarian and say Rogers

      But totally get KDH

  13. RogueBlood
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    2FT 1.5itb what changes would you make?

    Sanchez
    N.Williams, VdV, Konsa
    Salah, Gakpo, Kudus, KDH, Semenyo
    Pedro, Gyokeres

    Dubravka, Munoz, Esteve, Ekitike

    1. aleksios
      • 10 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      Haaland in

      1. RogueBlood
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 months, 10 days ago

        Would have to WC or take a hit for that maybe,

        Pedro, Ekitike, Gakpo > Haaland, Igor Jesus > Stach?

        1. aleksios
          • 10 Years
          2 months, 9 days ago

          No terrible way.
          Salah out.

          1. RogueBlood
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            2 months, 9 days ago

            If I go that route would be
            Salah & Pedro > Haaland & Forden/Reijnders unless you would suggest a different mid for Salah replacement?

            1. aleksios
              • 10 Years
              2 months, 9 days ago

              I would do Salah and Ekitike out.
              Haaland and anyone in.

  14. supercolso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    Sorry. Which one to start?

  15. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    Which TWO to start this gw:
    (20 points on BB last week and now bench headache with them).

    A) Stach (Bou - H)
    B) Elliott (Ful - H)
    C) Muniz (Avl - A)
    D) Andersen (Avl - A)

    1. aleksios
      • 10 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      A B

  16. Nickgrew
      2 months, 10 days ago

      2 week punt before wildcard, who do I go for -
      Foden
      Bruno
      Reijnders

      1. aleksios
        • 10 Years
        2 months, 10 days ago

        B

      2. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        2 months, 10 days ago

        Bruno

      3. ball c
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 months, 10 days ago

        Foden

        1. Nickgrew
            2 months, 9 days ago

            Do you think he's a potential risk start after playing most of league cup game?

        2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          2 months, 10 days ago

          Foden

        3. TekkerDude
          • 1 Year
          2 months, 9 days ago

          Foden - reijnders may be better but he is not a punt

        4. Snoopydog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 1 Year
          2 months, 9 days ago

          Foden

      4. el polako
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 10 days ago

        Oh feck it.
        I’m going for Isak early.

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

          Fortune favours the brave

          • 4 Years
          2 months, 10 days ago

          FPL Andy says you can’t

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            2 months, 9 days ago

            The thing with fantasy pundits it's all about xMinutes and penalties.

            But when they buy a player like Watkins or Rogers or whoever they'll stick through blanks because of fixtures.

            It's hyper cautious till they can wildcard themselves out.

            Still some did a Salah set up and early wildcard into a team still ignoring Haaland, untill this week.

      7. Count of Monte Hristo

        Is Gordon worth buying after this GW?

        1. Feanor
          • 16 Years
          2 months, 9 days ago

          Newcastle have too many options.

        All set?

          I'd start Mateta over KDH. Know the fixture's a toughie, but Pool defence isn't impregnable.

            Yup…starting Mateta over KDH.. he may even get a Pen!

              Think so. Not dissimilar line-up. GL

        A or B?! Currently on A.

        A) Saka, Ndiaye, Joao Pedro, Gyökeres

        B) Mbeumo, Eze, Richarlison, Isak.

        Next week most likely Munoz to Arsenal def - should be able to dodge WC for now?
        TC this week or wait for DGW?

          What DGW?

          Every week Haalands ownership increases, currently 1m new owners.
          Hopefully most on WC so TC has leverage 😉

        2. Snoopydog

          Don't think there'll be a DGW for first WC. The Palace scenario for this doesn't look great as they've drawn Pool in the cup. So suggest TC this week.

          Guehi will be busy, but good for DC.

          That a WC team, looks decent just needs Arsenal next week

          1. Snoopydog
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 1 Year
            2 months, 9 days ago

            Yep, was wondering whether to swap in Gud got Guehi, but like him and he'll want to impress his next employer.

            Not a WC team. Brought in Gyok (for Ekitike, a little early, so as to avoid price drop, and luckily before he blew up)

        What combo on wildcard?

        A) Keane, Saka, Richarlison
        B) Tarkowski, Stach, Gyokeres
        C) Tarkowski, Stach, Richarlison then Richarlison to Gyokeres next week

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          2 months, 9 days ago

          B better long term
          Because Keane won't play when Branthwaite is back, right? And Richarlison is first choice right now, but for how long?

          C looks pretty good though

          1. jonnybhoy
            • 13 Years
            2 months, 9 days ago

            Yeah im likely between b and c.

      17. Bobkat
        • 3 Years
        2 months, 9 days ago

        Are Saka and Isak too much of a gamble this week on wildcard to break the template up a bit?

        1. Pompel
          • 11 Years
          2 months, 9 days ago

          Yes , I would wait a with Saka, but depends who he is replacing

        2. Snoopydog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 1 Year
          2 months, 9 days ago

          Might well bring in Saka on a WC this week but depends on rest of line up. Can wait a bit longer for Isak.
