GAMEWEEK SCOUT CHOICE 8

GOALKEEPER

Selected by three of our Scout Troop experts, Robert Sanchez (£4.9m) got the nod in goal. The Spaniard has not been particularly impressive of late, having failed to keep a clean sheet in his last four games, a situation made worse by the red card he received at Old Trafford. However, Chelsea have a poor away game this week with low-goaler Nottingham Forest – no team has scored fewer goals than Ange Postecoglou’s side this season (five). As the only defensive option to feature in every league game so far, Sanchez looks like the perfect choice to break into the Blues’ backline.
