The Scout Squad: Our top picks for FPL Gameweek 5

With Arsenal and Manchester City squaring off on Sunday, there’s the potential for some out-of-the-box nominations for the Gameweek 5 Scout Squad.

Not that Erling Haaland (£15.2m) is being ignored – he gets a vote from all four of the panelists this week.

But the likes of Ipswich Town, Southampton, Leicester City and Everton are also well-represented ahead of their early six-pointers at the bottom.
