FPL Gameweek 24 Scout Picks: Three Key Double-Ups!
When it comes to Fantasy Premier League (FPL), making informed choices can be the difference between success and disappointment. As we gear up for Gameweek 24, our Scout Picks have been meticulously curated based on insights from our expert contributors—Marc, Sam, Tom F, and Neale. Here’s what you need to know as you finalize your lineup!
Just like any strategic game, we face some constraints:
- We’ve got a budget cap of £83.0 million for our starting eleven.
- The total squad limit stands at £100.0 million.
- Each team can only contribute a maximum of three players to our selection.
GAMEWEEK 24 SCOUT PICKS
Goalkeeper
Matz Sels, priced at £4.6 million, has been a standout performer with three clean sheets and just one goal conceded in his last four outings across all competitions. His inclusion in our Scout Picks is well-deserved! After Sean Dyche took over, Nottingham Forest has recorded only 26 Opta-defined ‘big chances’—the third least in the league. This week, Sels will face Crystal Palace, a team struggling offensively with only four goals in their last eight Premier League matches. Thus, his chances of securing another clean sheet look quite promising.
Defenders
Gabriel Magalhaes (£6.9 million) has been impressive this season, boasting five clean sheets and allowing a mere nine goals in 11 away games during the current campaign. With such solid stats, it’s no wonder that his owners are optimistic as Arsenal prepares to visit Elland Road on Saturday. Having been rested midweek, Gabriel is not just a defensive asset; he has also contributed five attacking returns this season. His 37.5% success rate in defensive contributions away from home only adds to his attractiveness in this matchup.
Trevoh Chalobah (£5.7 million) also benefits from a midweek breather as Chelsea gears up to take on West Ham United at Stamford Bridge. Under the guidance of Liam Rosenior, Chalobah has already amassed 12 points in two matches, successfully contributing defensively in each game. Notably, West Ham ranks last in terms of allowed headed chances and second to last for conceded set-piece efforts, presenting a favorable situation for Chalobah to capitalize on.
Nordi Mukiele, valued at £4.5 million, has averaged an impressive 5.8 points per game over the past eight Gameweeks and will be facing a Burnley side that is currently struggling to avoid relegation. Playing at the Stadium of Light, where Sunderland remains unbeaten this season, adds to the positive outlook for Mukiele. His potential is bolstered by an offensive threat that includes one goal and four assists in 21 starts, combined with his defensive contribution potential.
