As Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers prepare for Gameweek 28, key selections are essential for maximizing points. This round features standout player recommendations based on comprehensive analysis and panel selections from notable experts. Here are the pivotal double-ups we recommend for this week.
Gameweek 28 Scout Picks
With an allocated budget of £83.0 million for the starting XI and an overall squad limit of £100.0 million, strategic choices are crucial. The following players have been chosen to enhance your chances of success in this round.
Goalkeeper
- Caoimhin Kelleher (£4.7m): Kelleher is the top choice ahead of Brentford’s trip to Burnley. His recent form includes two clean sheets in the last five away games. Burnley, struggling with an expected goals (xG) tally of 22.72, provides a favorable matchup.
Defenders
- Virgil van Dijk (£6.0m): Known for his aerial prowess, Van Dijk is a solid pick as Liverpool faces West Ham United. The Hammers have a track record of conceding from set pieces, which enhances his scoring potential.
- Nico O’Reilly (£5.0m): O’Reilly, typically a defender, has recently played in midfield, allowing him to push forward. He has scored three goals in his last two matches, highlighting his attacking contributions.
- James Hill (£4.1m): Hill continues to be a reliable budget defender with a home match against Sunderland. With three assists in his last five starts, he is positioned to contribute both defensively and offensively. Sunderland’s poor away scoring record adds to his appeal.
