After studying the first six Gameweeks of Fantasy Premier League, The Scout’s panel of experts pinpoint the must-have players.

Chelsea have stuttered a little but I expect them to get their act together, and Reece James (£6.0m) offers points at both ends of the pitch.
Erling Haaland (£12.0m) is an absolute must-have. I'm not worried about the rest and rotation. You take that on the chin and captain tactically.
Ben Crabtree (@FC_CrabDogg)
Raheem Sterling (£10.0m) has had a solid start and has a good run of fixtures ahead. He is among the cheapest premium players and is captainable.
Despite some low-scoring Gameweeks, James is capable of making up for them in one match. Some hauls are coming.

Gabriel Martinelli (£6.5m) has shown some excellent consistency and is a must-have bargain pick. Haaland is almost getting to the point of being a must-captain.

At the start of the season I would never have thought that all my must-haves would be forwards.
With returns each week since Gameweek 2 and some good fixtures ahead, Harry Kane (£11.4m) looks a great pick alongside Haaland.
Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.8m) scored 43 goals in the Championship last season and has started this term in great form. He's had 27 shots and scored six goals.
Paul Gee (@FPLPaulGee)
Newcastle United have been looking solid at the back and Kieran Trippier (£5.2m) is on most set-pieces. With their fixtures turning for the good, he is a must-have. Haaland is now a set-and-forget option, even if he is rotated sometimes.
Jamie Pigott (@Futbolislifefpl)
Andreas Pereira (£4.6m). While not a flashy pick or the talisman of the team, there's nobody with a comparable impact at his price, enabling more investment in the enticing forward options.
I went without Haaland at the start and have been punished. Not any more. He’s a season-keeper and may even set a new points record this term.

Despite Liverpool's drop-off in defensive numbers, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s (£7.5m) attacking data means he is excellent value for his price. He should benefit from the return of Joel Matip (£5.9m) and Thiago (£5.2m) from injury.
Mitrovic has just continued his goalscoring form from the Championship and is about to embark upon a very favourable fixture run.

Mitrovic has scored six goals in six games despite an incredibly tough start to the season. Buying him is a priority. Haaland has reached a level now where we captain him every week. His ownership is scarily high, too.
