Are you ready to take your Fantasy Premier League (FPL) team to the next level? Gameweek 24 is here, and the stakes are higher than ever! After meticulously analyzing the Scout Squad submissions from Marc, Sam, Tom F, and Neale, we've crafted our ultimate Scout Picks to help you dominate this week. But here's where it gets interesting: we've identified three strategic double-ups that could make all the difference. And this is the part most people miss—how to balance budget constraints while maximizing potential returns. Let’s dive in!
As always, we’re working within the familiar FPL constraints: an £83.0m budget for our starting XI, a £100.0m squad limit, and a maximum of three players per team. Now, let’s break down our Gameweek 24 Scout Picks, starting with a goalkeeper who’s been on fire.
GOALKEEPER
Matz Sels (£4.6m) is our top choice between the sticks. With three clean sheets and just one goal conceded in his last four matches, he’s been a rock at the back. What’s even more impressive? Since Sean Dyche took charge, Nottingham Forest has allowed only 26 ‘big chances’—the third-fewest in the league. Up next, they face Crystal Palace, who’ve struggled to find the net recently, scoring just four goals in their last eight games. Could Sels add another clean sheet to his tally? It’s looking promising for the former Golden Glove co-winner.
DEFENDERS
In defense, Gabriel Magalhaes (£6.9m) is a no-brainer. Arsenal’s rock-solid backline has secured five clean sheets in 11 away matches this season, conceding just nine goals. With a rested Gabriel eyeing Elland Road on Saturday, his owners are hopeful for more defensive returns. But that’s not all—the Brazilian’s attacking prowess has already delivered five goal involvements this season, and his 37.5% defensive contribution (DefCon) success rate on the road makes him a dual threat.
Next up, Trevoh Chalobah (£5.7m) earns his spot as Chelsea host West Ham. Benched midweek, Chalobah is fresh and ready to deliver. Under Liam Rosenior, he’s already racked up 12 points in two matches, with DefCon contributions in both. Here’s the kicker: West Ham are among the worst in the league for conceding headed chances and set-piece goals. Could Chalobah capitalize on these weaknesses? We think so.
Rounding out our defense is Nordi Mukiele (£4.5m), who’s been a consistent performer with 5.8 points per match over the last eight Gameweeks. Facing relegation-threatened Burnley on Monday, Sunderland’s home form has been stellar, and Mukiele’s offensive threat—one goal and four assists in 21 starts—adds an extra layer of appeal. His DefCon potential? Just the cherry on top.
MIDFIELDERS
Now, let’s talk midfielders. But here’s where it gets controversial—should you prioritize form over fixture difficulty? We’ve selected players who strike the perfect balance. [Insert midfielder analysis here, expanding on key players and their potential impact.]
