After careful consideration of our Submissions from the Scouts team from Louis, Merlins, James and Jack, we’ve rounded up our Fantasy EFL Gameweek 24 Scout Picks.
There is no Championship this week, with just eight games in both League One and League Two at the time of writing.
These picks are based on the highest selected players from our local experts.
FANTASY EFL GAMEWEEK 24 SCOUT PICKS
KEELER
Bradford City are looking extremely strong defensively this week, and Sam Walker is well placed to benefit from this. Rotherham United are on a six-match losing streak and have conceded plenty during that period, while also offering very little in attack. All four of our panelists chose Walker.
Walker’s only competition would be whoever starts for Luton Town between Josh Keeley and James Shea.
DEFENDERS
Few defenders offer as many routes to points as Joe Wright. He remains a major threat and consistently scores well on defensive plays such as clearances and blocks. Against a Rotherham side struggling for confidence, Wright could be an excellent option. Wright was also favored by all four experts.
Crewe Alexandra’s home match against bottom-placed Harrogate Town is one of the standout matches of the week, and Mickey Demetriou is a major beneficiary. Harrogate are among the weakest sides in the league in terms of goals scored, which increases their clean-sheet potential. Each panellist had the Fantasy EFL favourite.
MIDFIELDERS
Reliability remains Oliver Norwood once again firmly in the fight. He continues to score on penalties and set pieces, adding consistent attacking involvement to his consistent point production. Norwood has scored five goals, five assists, 28 interceptions and 38 key passes, so he offers multiple routes to points. He also does not shy away from the captaincy.
Crewe top the expected goals table this week, and Tommi O’Reilly sits at the center of that attacking expectation. He operates high on the field and regularly finds himself in scoring positions. With Harrogate offering little resistance defensively, O’Reilly’s xG and xA involvement makes him one of the standout players in midfield.
FORWARD
Harry Leonard continues to deliver steady returns in an attacking Peterborough side. Bolton has shown defensive weaknesses all season, and Leonard benefits from both open play threat and penalty responsibility. That combination gives him a great chance of points in a match that suits his skills.
Despite some underperformance, Yousef Salech remains one of the strongest forward options this week. Cardiff City take on Leyton Orient who have conceded the most goals in the division, with Salech remaining in the lead on penalties. Salech was given priority by all four experts, so he takes the captaincy.
TEAM CHOICES
Crewe Alexandra one of the best games of the round at home against bottom-placed Harrogate Town. They score highest for their intended goals and should dominate territory and opportunities everywhere. From both an attacking and defensive perspective, Crewe seems well prepared for a return.
Bradford city also stands out as a team choice this week. Rotherham United arrive in poor form and low on confidence, while Bradford have shown strong form. Clean sheet points and a likely win make them an excellent side to target.
Both sides were prioritized over others by our entire panel.
