The Scout Picks return ahead of Gameweek 2 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

This is a Free Hit in all but name, with the focus solely on the upcoming Gameweek. Selections made in the Scout Squad are a big factor when it comes to deciding who made the final cut.

As ever, we are limited by certain restrictions:

An £83.0m budget for our starting XI
An overall squad limit of £100.0m
No more than three players per team

GAMEWEEK 2 SCOUT PICKS

GOALKEEPER

Coventry City’s home encounter with fellow new boys Hull City brings Carl Rushworth (£4.5m) into contention.

The 1.2%-owned shot-stopper was selected by all four of our Scout Squad panel.

Faith in Coventry picks has been shaken a bit by Hull’s Gameweek 1 win. However, both matches between these teams in the Championship last season ended goalless, so we could be in for another tight, cagey affair on Saturday.

Rushworth has save point potential to fall back on should he concede.

DEFENDERS

FPL notes: van Dijk 17-pointer, Alderete, Cash + van Hecke injury latest

Personally De Kuyper. He’s playing massively out of position as a very advanced left winger. Scored and assisted in Brighton’s first game against Villa, then repeated that against Tromso. If he continues in this position and playing this role, his attacking potential is truly phenomenal!

I've got a non playing keeper but still tempted to bench boost. Rondon, DCL, Van Ewijk

What do you think?

Who plays instead of O’Reilly if leaked NOT starting?
A) Hume
B) Maguire

Barphilona

Who would you bench out of Schade and Foden with their fixtures?

I feel like they’re both very capable of doing absolutely nothing but also both capable of really hurting you. I’ve currently got Schade in as I think he’s due a haul in that Brentford team, but benching Foden worries me cos surely he comes good soon.
