FPL Gameweek 20 Scout: Captain, Buy, Sell & Keep Top Picks For 2023-24 Premier League

As the Premier League gears up for the final game week of 2023, so is the FPL. Gameweek 20 consists of another set of intriguing fixtures. But FPL team managers will look for players with exceptional scoring opportunities. Apart from solid performances from Mohamed Salah or injuries hampering Erling Haaland, we at Essentially Sports bring you the best options for the FPL Game Week 20.

Games like Liverpool taking on Newcastle United and West Ham United going against out-of-form Brighton will definitely take the spotlight. But players from matches like Manchester City vs. Sheffield United or Aston Villa vs. Burnley are expected to attract more managers. So here are some critical tips to follow!

FPL Scout for Gameweek 20

Best Buys

Ollie Watkins (£8.8)- The English striker has started the season in stellar form. Even though he did not score in the last two games, the player is expected to regain his form against the most conceding side this season, Sheffield United. The player has already scored 122 points this season, the third most for any player. Even though Watkins costs £8.8, our team ranks him among the best picks for Game Week 20.

Back-up: If you think Watkins is expensive at 8.8, players can try Dominic Solanke for £7.0. The AFC Bournemouth striker helped the team go from 17th to 10th on the table in eight matches, scoring eight goals in the last seven games. Another budget-friendly option is Wolverhampton Wolves’ Matheus Cunha, who’s valued at £5.8 in the FPL.

Players to sell

Kaoru Mitoma: Last season’s Brighton starlet Mitoma has just scored three goals and provided five assists this season. The Japanese player hasn’t scored in the last 13 games and has provided just two assists for the team. The winger at the moment is better worth selling.

Marcus Rashford: The season did not kick off like last year for the Manchester United player, who scored just twice as compared to 17 last year. Better to swap for an efficient midfielder for 8.4 pounds.

Players to retain

Erling Haaland: It’s a no-brainer to retain Haaland despite his absence in the past few games. Fans expect the player to be back against Everton today, but the Norwegian can score at any given time in the game. The player can at least be kept in the standbys and observed in today’s game against Everton before selecting the team for gameweek 20.

Martin Odegaard: The Arsenal captain has had a mixed season so far, with four goals and four assists. But he is back to his free-flowing game. The idea of retaining the player seems satisfactory, considering the ease of fixtures for the next four games.

FPL Captain

Erling Haaland/Son Heung-min: Haaland will be the captain for gameweek 20 based on his performance in today’s game against Everton. On the other hand, The South Korean has been in impeccable form this season, scoring 11 goals. His consistency and form are the main reasons for our choice as the upcoming game’s captain.

Final FPL XI:  Erling Haaland/Son Heung-min (captain/midfielder), David Raya (goalkeeper), Trent Alexander Arnold (defender), Kyle Walker (defender), Gabriel Magalhaes (defender), Will Colwill (defender), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (defender), Alejandro Garnacho (midfielder), Mohammed Kudus (midfielder), and Ollie Watkins (vice captain/forward).
