Watchlist: Saka and Saliba doppelgängers, PSG's glorious evolution and El Hadji Diouf (not that one)

How to scout this week's European fixtures for the next generation

It’s time to turn 54 fixtures into 12.

If you’re new here, this is your SCOUTED Watchlist for this week’s European fixtures. The UEFA competitions can be all-consuming, and knowing where to find the most exciting players to watch is a bit like finding a needle in those large, golden blobs they keep on farmland.

That’s where we come in - we pick out the hottest talent and tell you where to watch them. Simple.

There are fewer picks based on data this week. Why? Because previous watchlists have covered most of the stat leaders multiple times. You may well want to watch Sávio, Tom Bischof and Rayan Cherki again this week. I would not blame you, but I will not be telling you to do so.

Instead, after reading this week’s watchlist, you will be:

• hoping for a historic goal in Bratislava

• witnessing PSG’s glorious evolution

• analysing Sporting’s Saliba and Saka regens

• praying for a Paul Wanner start
