The Scout Squad’s best players for FPL Gameweek 2

In our weekly series, Fantasy Football Scout contributors Sam, Neale, Tom and Az debate the best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards for the upcoming Gameweek.

Six FPL players have been given full backing by all four of our panel, with Erling Haaland (£11.6m) unsurprisingly among the consensus selections.

There’s no Tottenham Hotspur or Chelsea representation at all, however, with those two clubs meeting in a tough-to-call clash at Stamford Bridge this Sunday.

ABOUT THE SCOUT SQUAD

Everything you ever wanted to know about the FPL Bonus Point System - part one

In this series, our four resident Fantasy Football Scout contributors each propose an 18-man squad of Fantasy players with the focus solely on the upcoming Gameweek.

Their selections serve as a long list for the Scout Picks, as the players nominated will then be narrowed down to a squad of 15 (with the starting XI not exceeding a total cost of £83.0m) for our final weekly selection ahead of Saturday’s deadline.

Each writer must meet the following requirements:

  • 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
