The Scout's panel of experts reveal who they currently plan to pick in their 2019/20 Fantasy Premier League starting squads.
Ben Crabtree, the 2016/17 FPL champion, is a big Everton fan and refuses to pick Liverpool players, but he has backed two Toffees players to shine and has gone big on Manchester City.

Nick Pope (BUR) £4.5m
Mixed fixtures but capable of lots of save points and bonus.
Lucas Digne (EVE) £6.0m
Great fixtures for clean sheets and is a pivotal player in attacks down the left, along with set-pieces.
Craig Cathcart (WAT) £4.5m
Some strong early fixtures and will rotate with bench players.
Oleksandr Zinchenko (MCI) £5.5m
The cheapest route into an impressive defence with some attacking threat too.
Raheem Sterling (MCI) £12.0m
Consistently a great FPL scorer. Will captain the team frequently.
Kevin De Bruyne (MCI) £9.5m
Arguably the best player in the league when fit. If Man City score big, he'll be in the points.
Gylfi Sigurdsson (EVE) £8.0m
Capable of big scores and should be key to Everton's attacks in their good fixtures.
David Brooks (BOU) £6.5m
An outside chance he can keep pace with Ryan Fraser (£7.5m) in the short term as he looks to kick on after a successful debut season.
Ayoze Perez (LEI) £6.5m
Signed from Newcastle United to add goals. I expect him to be getting in the box and on the scoresheet.
Harry Kane (TOT) £11.0m
Fully rested, he should return big in his generous run of home matches.
Callum Wilson (BOU) £8.0m
If AFC Bournemouth are scoring, he's generally get a share of the points.
Substitutes
Jake Eastwood (SHU) £4.5m
Sheffield United had the best defence out of the promoted teams last season and he just about rotates with Pope.
Lewis Dunk (BHA) £4.5m
He provides a reliable option on the bench with some good Brighton & Hove Albion fixtures.
Fabian Balbuena (WHU) £4.5m
Some encouraging fixtures and should score more from set-pieces.
Connor Wickham (CRY) £4.5m
Likely third sub each week but may challenge Christian Benteke (£6.0m) with a good pre-season and become an option occasionally.
