After the Scout Squad submissions<\/a> of Marc, Sam, Tom F and Neale, we have finalised our Scout Picks for Gameweek 24 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL).<\/p>\n

As usual, we are limited by certain restrictions:<\/p>\n

An \u00a383.0m budget for our starting XIAn overall squad limit of \u00a3100.0mNo more than three players per teamGAMEWEEK 24 SCOUT PICKS\"\"GOALKEEPER\"FPL<\/p>\n

Matz Sels (\u00a34.6m) has kept three clean sheets and conceded only one goal in his last four matches in all competitions, which earns him a place in our Scout Picks XI. Notably, Nottingham Forest have allowed only 26 Opta-defined \u2018big chances\u2019 since the appointment of Sean Dyche, the third-fewest of any team. Up next is Crystal Palace, who have found the net just four times in their previous eight Premier League encounters, so the prospects for another shut-out appear favourable for last year\u2019s co-winner of the Golden Glove award.<\/p>\n

DEFENDERS\"FPL<\/p>\n

With five clean sheets and just nine goals conceded in 11 away matches in 2025\/26, Gabriel Magalhaes\u2019 (\u00a36.9m) vast ownership will be confident of further defensive returns as Arsenal roll up to Elland Road on Saturday. Rested in midweek<\/a>, the Brazilian\u2019s eye for goal has already served up five attacking returns this season, while his 37.5% defensive contribution (DefCon) success rate on the road further strengthens his appeal.<\/p>\n

Another player benched in midweek<\/a>, Trevoh Chalobah (\u00a35.7m) gets the nod as Chelsea welcome rivals West Ham United to Stamford Bridge. The centre-back has served up 12 points in his two matches under Liam Rosenior thus far, banking DefCon on both occasions. Nuno Espirito Santo\u2019s men are rock-bottom for headed chances allowed and 19th for efforts from set plays conceded (see image below), so Chalobah could get some joy from such situations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nordi Mukiele (\u00a34.5m) has averaged 5.8 points per match over the last eight Gameweeks, and now faces relegation-threatened Burnley on Monday night. Sunderland are unbeaten at the Stadium of Light this season, with their home form the foundation for what looks like a stellar season in the top-flight. Mukiele\u2019s offensive threat (one goal and four assists in 21 starts) and DefCon potential only add to the Frenchman\u2019s appeal.<\/p>\n
