FPL Gameweek 12 Scout Picks: Liverpool triple-up

We’ve put together an early draft of our Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Scout Picks for Gameweek 12.

As ever, we will finalise our selection much closer to the deadline.

Plenty can change between now and then.

The upcoming Scout Squad nominations will help shape the final Scout Picks, while international fixtures and the pre-match press conferences will also influence our thinking.

There are certain restrictions for our picks:

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

GAMEWEEK 12 FIXTURES

THE LIKELY LADS

It’s a tricky week for the Scout Picks, with many of the premium options facing appealing fixtures. How many we can squeeze in will once again come down to budget.

Leading the charge will be FPL’s two top points scorers: Mohamed Salah (£12.9m) and Cole Palmer (£10.9m), fitness pending.

The pair have 26 attacking returns and 34 bonus points between them this season, with newly-promoted opposition (Southampton and Leicester City) on the menu in Gameweek 12.

We could feasibly end up with a third premium in our side this week.

Bukayo Saka (£10.1m) is in the running if he can recover from the muscle injury he sustained at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. If budget becomes a problem, Martin Odegaard (£8.2m) and Kai Havertz (£8.0m) are cheaper alternatives.
