The Scout's panel of experts give their verdicts on the Scout Selection ahead of the Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 12 deadline of 11:00 GMT on Saturday 20 November.

Great to see Vicente Guaita (£4.6m) in there. Crystal Palace's defensive underlying numbers are elite despite their tough early fixtures.

Jarrod Bowen (£6.4m) also deserves his spot; he is second only to Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) for expected goal involvement (xGI) in the last seven Gameweeks.

Tom Cantle (@WGTA_FPL)

My favoured trio of Reece James (£5.9m), Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.7m) and Joao Cancelo (£6.5m) are all picked and I'm ecstatic to see it.

Managers without one should really consider completing the set - they're brilliant players to own right now. Ben Chilwell (£6.0m) is also an option over his Chelsea team-mate James.

Guaita is a fantastic goalkeeper option for this week and beyond; Palace have conceded the fewest big chances of any side over the last four Gameweeks.

Hopefully, Harry Kane (£12.2m) can carry over his England form into the Premier League.

Ben Crabtree (@FC_CrabDogg)

This is one of the stronger looking teams. At a glance you could argue with the forwards but, given their fixtures, I anticipate a strong week for all three.

Paul Gee (@FPLPaulGee)

The three at the back pick themselves, particularly James. Newcastle United forward Callum Wilson (£7.4m) could be a great pick, but I feel like the team is missing Son Heung-min (£10.3m).

Sam Bonfield (@FPLFamily)

This squad looks to be the perfect blend of form and fixtures. I am expecting Wilson, now reunited with Eddie Howe, to lead a Newcastle revival starting with a win against Brentford in Gameweek 12.

In Alexander-Arnold, Cancelo and James we have in-form attacking defenders who look likely to return points even if they lose their clean sheets.

Bowen is third for xGI among midfielders this season, only Salah and Sadio Mane (£11.9m) have better totals. He could be an excellent differential, sat in only 2.6 per cent of squads.

Utkarsh Dalmia (@zophar666)

Very strong line-up this week with the back three all capable of big hauls and the midfielders in excellent form.

I particularly like the picks of Adam Armstrong (£5.9m) and Wilson, both are great low-owned differentials facing obliging opposition.

Lee Bonfield (@FPLFamily)

With the lack of options up front, Howe's arrival at Newcastle and a decent run of fixtures have us scrambling for Wilson. Owned by only 2.7 per cent of managers, he is a great differential.
