Get ready for a thrilling FPL Gameweek 24, because this is where your squad decisions could make or break your season! After carefully analyzing the Scout Squad submissions from Marc, Sam, Tom F, and Neale, we’ve finalized our Scout Picks—and trust us, you’ll want to take notes. But here’s where it gets controversial: we’re doubling up on three teams, and not everyone will agree with our choices. Let’s dive in!
As always, we’re navigating the usual 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 meet the stars of Gameweek 24.
GOALKEEPER
Matz Sels (£4.6m) is our man between the sticks, and for good reason. With three clean sheets and just one goal conceded in his last four matches, he’s been a rock. But this is the part most people miss: Nottingham Forest’s defense has tightened significantly under Sean Dyche, allowing only 26 ‘big chances’—the third-fewest in the league. Up next? Crystal Palace, who’ve scored just four goals in their last eight games. Could Sels add another clean sheet to his tally? We think so.
DEFENDERS
Gabriel Magalhaes (£6.9m) is a no-brainer for many FPL managers, and it’s easy to see why. Arsenal’s defensive record away from home is stellar—five clean sheets and only nine goals conceded in 11 matches. Rested midweek, Gabriel’s attacking threat (five returns this season) and his 37.5% defensive success rate on the road make him a must-have. But here’s a thought: is he too obvious a choice, or is his consistency exactly what your squad needs?
Trevoh Chalobah (£5.7m) is another defender who’s been flying under the radar. Benched midweek, he’s set to return as Chelsea host West Ham. Under Liam Rosenior, Chalobah has already bagged 12 points in two games, with defensive contributions in both. West Ham, meanwhile, are struggling with headed chances and set-piece defense. Could this be Chalobah’s moment to shine? We’re betting on it.
Nordi Mukiele (£4.5m) rounds out our defense, and he’s been a points machine lately, averaging 5.8 points per game over the last eight Gameweeks. Facing relegation-threatened Burnley on Monday, Sunderland’s home form has been rock-solid. Mukiele’s offensive prowess (one goal, four assists) and defensive potential make him a dual-threat asset. But here’s the question: is Burnley’s desperation to avoid the drop enough to stop him?
MIDFIELDERS
Stay tuned as we reveal the midfield maestros who could elevate your FPL squad to new heights. And remember, this is where the real debate begins—who’s in your starting XI? Let us know in the comments, and don’t hold back on those controversial picks!
