Scout Selection: The FPL experts' views

By The Scout 18 Dec 2020

Fantasy experts have their say on The Scout's best XI to pick for Gameweek 14

The Scout's panel of experts give their verdict on the Scout Selection ahead of the Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 14 deadline of 11:00 GMT on Saturday 19 December.

There's a real spine of talent through the XI including the likes of Mohamed Salah (£12.4m), Bruno Fernandes (£11.0m), Andrew Robertson (£7.2m) and Harry Kane (£10.9m).

But after Fernandes' blank in Gameweek 13, I'd be handing the armband to Kane over him this weekend.

I really like the Pedro Neto (£5.8m) pick. He impressed me in the absence of Raul Jimenez (£8.2m) in Gameweek 13 and I expect that to continue.

The only question mark I'd have is Jack Grealish (£7.8m) against a West Bromwich Albion team with Sam Allardyce taking over as head coach.

Neal Thurman (@nealjthurman)

Liverpool's defence still isn't up to their standards of last season, so spending on Robertson seems like a bet on him getting an assist.

Not a terrible shout given his track record, but I'd rather pay less for someone like Vladimir Coufal (£4.6m) or Ben Chilwell (£6.2m), who seem to offer the same scoring profile for a lower cost.

I like the core of the picks with Salah, Fernandes, Robertson and Kane, but I would have squeezed Son Heung-min (£9.6m) in there. Tottenham Hotspur will likely show a reaction after the midweek defeat to Liverpool.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.9m) looks a good pick up against a demoralised Arsenal side missing Gabriel (£5.0m) through suspension.

I do wonder if the likes of Fulham and Sheffield United might spring some surprises against Newcastle United and Brighton and Hove Albion, so I do question the backing of Jamal Lewis (£4.3m) and Lewis Dunk (£4.8m) for clean sheets.

Remember the Gameweek 14 deadline is 11:00 GMT on Saturday 19 December.
