FPL Gameweek 22 Scout Squad Picks: Best Budget Players Revealed! (2026)

Ready to dominate your Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game? The Scout Squad is back, and we're diving headfirst into Gameweek 22!

This is where our in-house team of FPL gurus – staff writer Marc, general manager Sam, deputy editor Tom F, and editor Neale – come together to reveal their top player picks, focusing solely on the upcoming Gameweek. Forget about long-term strategies; this is all about maximizing your points right now.

But here's where it gets exciting...

Each expert gets their say, and the players who get the most votes are the frontrunners for the coveted Scout Picks. However, there's a catch! The total cost of the final eleven can't exceed £83.0m. This means we sometimes have to scout for those hidden, budget-friendly gems.

And this is the part most people miss...

To keep things interesting and ensure a balanced team, each writer must adhere to these rules:

  • Include at least one goalkeeper under £5.0m.
  • Select at least one defender under £5.0m.
  • Choose at least one midfielder under £6.0m.
  • Nominate at least one forward under £7.0m.
  • Limit the selection to a maximum of three players from any single club.

So, what do you think? Are these restrictions fair? Do you agree with the budget constraints? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
