Premier League Scout picks best FPL line-up for GW2 including the 2.7%-owned pick managers are overlooking
The Premier League Scout has published its 'best' line-up ahead of Friday's Gameweek 2 deadline, with Erling Haaland and Cole Palmer featuring in the squad as so-called 'premium picks'.
For those unaware, the GW2 deadline is at 18:30 BST on Friday (August 28), meaning it's not too late to make some transfers.
Erling Haaland, who is currently owned by 67.9% of players, has scored every time he has faced Crystal Palace in the Premier League, so many will expect him to open his account at Selhurst Park on Friday night.
The Manchester City forward's potential for scoring big points makes the captaincy decision "a very easy one in almost any Gameweek", according to the Premier League Scout, and he features in the GW2 line-up.

He is joined by former teammate Cole Palmer, who made a superb start to the campaign on Monday, earning 13 points after bagging a goal and an assist against Fulham.
The Premier League Scout says Palmer offers a "great saving" of £2.5m over Bruno Fernandes (£12.0m), who does not feature in the GW2 team ahead of Manchester United's clash against Ipswich Town.
Who else features in the Premier League Scout's best XI for GW2?
We'll start with the ever-reliable David Raya (£6.0m) in between the sticks. The Spaniard is "very likely" to be the top-scoring goalkeeper in Fantasy once again this season, according to the Scout.
Arsenal's Ezri Konsa (£4.5m) also features in the line-up following his move from Aston Villa alongside Gabriel (£8.0m), James Tarkowski (£6.0m), Jaka Bijol (£5.0m) and Kristoffer Ajer (£4.5m).
Konsa, who is expected to start until William Saliba (£6.0m) and Jurrien Timber (£6.5m) recover from injuries, has the potential to be incredible value for money if he continues to get regular minutes.
As mentioned above, Palmer features in midfield alongside Liverpool's penalty-taker Dominik Szoboszlai (£7.0m), Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (£6.5m), Mamadou Sangare (£5.5m) and Anton Stach (£6.0m).
Anton Stach made a huge impression for Leeds on the opening weekend of the season
Stach picked up 13 FPL points after scoring a late winner for Leeds in their 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday (August 22).
As well as the goal, the German recorded three attempts on goal, the same as Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.0m), and registered 16 defensive contributions, which gave him two additional FPL points.
Stach, who was only beaten for defensive contributions by Ethan Ampadu (£5.5m), had more touches in the opponent’s half and final third than any other Leeds player against Forest.
At the time of writing, the overlooked Stach is owned by just 2.7% of players as Leeds prepare for three home games in a row against Brentford, Newcastle and Crystal Palace.
Finally, the Premier League Scout has picked Erling Haaland (£15.5m), Joao Pedro (£7.6m) and Ipswich's Sindre Walle Egeli (£4.5m) to lead the line.
