In this article, our in-house team discuss who they think the best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players are for the upcoming Gameweek in isolation.

The focus is only on the upcoming Gameweek with the Scout Squad, so there’s no medium-term planning involved.

Staff writer Marc, general manager Sam, deputy editor Tom F and editor Neale each take turns explaining their picks.

The players who get the most votes are much more likely to make the Scout Picks. However, the final XI can’t exceed £83.0m – so occasionally, we have to source cheaper alternatives.

Each of our writers must meet the following requirements for this feature:

At least one sub-£5.0m goalkeeperAt least one sub-£5.0m defenderAt least one sub-£6.0m midfielderAt least one sub-£7.0m forwardNo more than three players from the same clubSCOUT SQUAD: BEST FPL PLAYERS FOR GAMEWEEK 22   1 1price change predictions
