Welcome to this week’s Scout Picks Community Champion vote. Here’s a reminder of how this works. As part of our revamped Scout Picks, Mark, myself, Paul and a community champion picked by you each week are up against each other. All four teams are then used to decide our final weekly Scout Picks.
We are now looking for Gameweek 27’s Scout Picks Community Champion to represent you and get one over on The Scouts as well as be in with a chance of winning a special prize. The champion who manages the best Gameweek score (or best score from the first ten matches in a double Gameweek) will win a £100 Amazon voucher.
To put yourself forward simply add in your Gameweek 27 Scout Picks. For everyone else please upvote the poster you would like to represent you based on their picks.
We only need 11 picks and please be mindful of budget, which has now been increased to 84m. There’s no captain in the picks either and please stick to a designated FPL formation, including no more than three players from one team.
I’ll leave this vote open until 10am tomorrow (Wednesday) when I will announce the winner. The winner will then be asked to submit their final picks to me taking into account latest injury news by 5pm Thursday.
Any attempts to disrupt the voting process may lead to the team involved being removed at our discretion. Also the comment section below is for those who want to present their teams and vote. If you have any suggestions on how the Scout Picks can be improved further next year please email me at jonty@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk rather than leave a comment below.

De Gea - Sunderland haven't done much in attack in recent games, even after going with a more attacking 4-4-2 formation. Against Man U they're bound to revert to a more defensive set up and so it's unlikely they'll be able to score.
Trippier - good assist and clean sheet potential.
Haidara - Newcastle looking to bounce back after the drubbing against Man City. Haidara looks nailed on and could pose some assist threat too.
Wollscheid - I would have liked to double up on Man U but thought it better to go for this game. Although Hull have improved, Stoke at home should have a good chance to keep a cleansheet.
Cazorla - has had such a solid run of games, picking up assists and goals regularly.
Silva & Aguero - too good to drop. Liverpool may be stronger defensively but the toughest team they've faced in their run of clean sheets was Soton (who don't score much).
Sterling - City don't look too strong defensively either. Can see Sterling keeping up his good form to nick a goal in a 1-2 loss (where Silva and Aguero score the two for Man C).
Moses - looks confident and has his shooting boots back. Never one to shy away from taking a shot. Could see him scoring against Hull.
Sakho - West Ham home to an attacking Crystal Palace. Good chance for goals here and he is nailed on.
Diouf - I know I know, tripling up on Stoke sounds crazy but if not at home vs Hull, then when?
