Scout Picks

Triple Gameweek 35 Scout Picks features three Man United assets

A Manchester United triple-up forms the spine of our Triple Gameweek 35 Scout Picks.

The Red Devils have three fixtures between Sunday and Thursday, so we have included three of their best assets accordingly.

Meanwhile, Liverpool, Leicester and Crystal Palace have each supplied two players to the best XI for Triple Gameweek 35.

As ever, we line up in the 3-4-3 formation and come in at £82.6m, £0.4m inside our £83.0m budget.

Goalkeeper

Vicente Guaita (£4.8m) makes a rare appearance in the Scout Picks off the back of Crystal Palace’s appealing pair of Triple Gameweek 35 fixtures. They face the division’s lowest scorers in Sheffield United, who are in the bottom four for shots inside the box alongside Southampton over the last six matches.

Defenders

Who has the best and worst FPL fixtures for the Run-In?

Saints also face Liverpool, arguably boosting Trent Alexander-Arnold‘s (£7.6m) defensive credentials while a Thursday-night meeting with Manchester United is unlikely to yield many goals based on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s usual tactics in the bigger matches. Meanwhile, during his last six, no Premier League defender has created more big chances than Alexander-Arnold.

Timothy Castagne (£5.8m) has recently become a key component of Leicester’s attack considering, among the Foxes’ players, only their centre-forwards and Ricardo Pereira have touched the ball in the box more often than him over the last six Gameweeks. The Belgian is, of course, much more likely to start twice in Triple Gameweek 35 and has 22 points in his last three outings.

Harry Maguire (£5.5m) is the most nailed-on Manchester United defender for Triple Gameweek 35. Since the Red Devils resumed European competitions, the centre-back has played every available Premier League minute from Gameweek 24 to Gameweek 34. Solskjaer’s men have conceded just three goals across their last six, the joint-best in the Premier League.

Midfielders

No top-flight player has produced more shots in the box than Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) over the last six matches, suggesting he will get plenty of opportunities against Southampton and even Manchester United in Triple Gameweek 35. Saints are inside the division’s bottom three for big chances conceded over the same period while the Red Devils could be suffering with fatigue by the time they host Liverpool on Thursday, having already played two games in three days before that.

Three matches for Bruno Fernandes (£11.5m) in Triple Gameweek 35 make it very hard to look past the premium midfielder in the Scout Picks. While there are doubts that he will start three times this round, the Red Devils do have the luxury of a four-goal lead against Roma in the semi-finals of the Europa League as well as no fixture in Blank Gameweek 36. Meanwhile, Fernandes has started every league match since Manchester United’s European campaign resumed in February and, over the last six, is top among all midfielders for expected goal involvement (xGI).

Mason Greenwood‘s (£7.2m) versatility and ability to do damage from the bench has helped him get into the Triple Gameweek 35 Scout Picks. Over the last six matches, he is top among all colleagues for shots in the box, shots on target and goals scored.

Wilfried Zaha (£7.2m) has supplied two attacking returns in his last four starts since coming back from injury. Crystal Palace’s next two opponents, Sheffield United and Southampton, are two of the three worst sides for conceding big chances in the last six.

Forwards

Since Gameweek 29, no Premier League player has been afforded more big chances than Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.5m). Meanwhile, West Ham and Aston Villa combine for a total of zero clean sheets over their last six matches.

Ollie Watkins (£6.5m) has produced either a goal or assist in each of his past five Premier League appearances, making him a useful addition for the Triple Gameweek 35 Scout Picks.

Kelechi Iheanacho (£6.3m) has become a virtual auto-include in the Scout Picks in recent weeks. Since Gameweek 24, he has notched up nine goals and two assists, suggesting he can still offer something against Newcastle and Manchester United in Triple Gameweek 35.

Substitutes

  • Edouard Mendy (£5.2m)
  • Lucas Digne (£6.1m)
  • Tyrick Mitchell (£3.8m)
  • Anwar El Ghazi (£5.2m)

THE CAPTAIN

Who are the best captain options for FPL Gameweek 36+?

We choose the Scout Picks captain using a four-way vote between our Scout Squad pundits.

Because we use Fantasy Football Scout data so heavily in this process, the skipper we choose each Gameweek is known only to those with a valid Fantasy Football Scout subscription and revealed to the public only when the deadline has passed.

Here is how we voted for Triple Gameweek 35:

    I have changed my mind. I don't see United keeping any clean sheets and I don't see Greenwood playing more than 1 out if the 3.

    90 mins tonight and he will likely rest against Villa, the play against Lei and rest against Liverpool.

    Have gone for Digne and Havertz instead.

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Could be a good shout. Havertz a rotation risk aswell though surely?

      1. SINGH
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Not really, he has played central recently and chosen ahead of Tammy and Giroud. Werner is on the left.

    2. krawiecus
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Digne good. Cant see Havertz starting both, especially with counterattack need, but you might be right, and nice safe + diff combo.

    3. Doug McCasual
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      chelsea play city and arsenal, and havertz not nailed

      1. HashAttack
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        and the FA Cup final 3 days after the Arsenal match

    4. No Kane No Gain
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I see greenwood starting 2. He didn’t even play the 1st leg V roma. So he’s had about 10/11 days rest before today. I think he plays villa, cameo V Leicester and plays Liverpool.

    5. BigBillyBass
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      FFS mate the lad’s 19 years old. The way you’re going on you’d think he’s had 2 new hips. Get a grip

    6. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Digne good pick. Havertz only likely to play 1 (don't forget FA Cup final) so Utd midfielders should have upper hand in terms of minutes

  2. Somnus84
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Really struggling to navigate the GW35/36 swing!

    a) does Holding play both games in 35?
    b) after Hassenhuttl's latest comments, is Forster still playing the next 2, and then missing the 2 after?
    c) is Martinez worth the extra cash over Guaita/Pickford/double Southampton GK (transfer out Mendy)?

    1. krawiecus
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      a) 50-50 imo
      b) 75% he does, but these new comments do throw some doubts. I have him as only DGW keeper and playing him
      c) Not for me. Especially since you have to keep until end of season.

    2. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Go for Meslier...best choice from GW 36

    3. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Would risk either Soton keeper for the dgw and too uncertain which one will play in 36
      I've currently got Schmeichel&Forster ... think its simplest to just double up with Forster&McCarthy for the last 3 weeks

      1. HashAttack
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Wouldn't risk

      2. Somnus84
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I would do this if I knew Forster would double in 35

  3. Il Capitano
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Nearly there with the team, one place in the XI up for grabs.

    Martinez
    Digne TAA Shaw x
    Bruno Salah Jota Lingard x
    Kane Iheanacho.x

    Start:
    A) Mitchell
    B) Targett
    C) ESR
    D) Bamford

      1. Il Capitano

        Leaning this way, think it's between him and Targett

  4. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    One Million Dollar Question
    Which it better ?
    A - TAA & JWP
    B- Maguire & Zaha or Greenwood

    1. Atwood
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B and probably Zaha. I know we all overlook JWP but don't think this is the gamweek for him.

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

    Coady > Maguire sound good?
    2FT's and 0.8 spare.
    Means 5 blanks next week but could then use 2FT's to field 11.

    Martinez
    Rudiger - Shaw - Coady
    Salah - Bruno - Lingard - Son
    Kane - Watkins - Iheanacho

    Dallas - Reguillon - Perreira

  6. Letsgo!

    Somehow can see greenwood bench for the aston game..

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      How somehow?

      1. Letsgo!
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Because he play full ytd?

    2. No Kane No Gain
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I see cavani bench, greenwood start.

      1. Utopsis
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Villa will sit deep, better for Cavani due to his superior movement / anticipation. No space in behind for someone like Greenwood to exploit

        1. No Kane No Gain
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Doesn’t mean anything. Cavani is old and just played 70*. He rests V villa and plays the next.

          1. Utopsis
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Okie dokie - let's see how it plays out

        2. No Kane No Gain
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Even playing Tuesday, the second game, is a big turn around for cavani. He’s barely played more than once in a week

    3. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I agree, but hope not!

  7. the dom 1

      1. SINGH
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        If you are FH then worth having him otherwise who else is there as an option other than Bruno Greeny Salah and Jota

        1. The Knights Template
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Never worth being trolled.

  9. OleBall
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Over the next two GW's

    A) Maguire -8
    B) Digne -4

    1. krawiecus
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B 1000000%

      1. krawiecus
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Would be close only if it was Maguire +4 vs Digne

    2. Il Capitano

    Interesting to see that's Salah's mins per xGI in the last 6 GWs is 82 mins and is well ahead of Bruno at 132 (with an even bigger gap on xG). The illusion of the extra game could be deceiving for captaincy picks (particularly if he doesn't play 90 in all 3)!

  11. Ten Season Wonder

    are there any more teams left to play DGWs after gw35?

        Yh? Yes?
        I'm tempted to save the free and have two next week
        This week has disappointment written all over it

    2. Somnus84
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      yes - even for a hit

  13. OleBall
    • 3 Years

    3 United essential?

    1. Royal5

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Nothing controversial, so gtg

  16. AdamJ91
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    GTG on FH? Probably pretty template but looks decent.

    Guiata
    TAA, Maguire, Castagne
    Salah, Bruno (c), Mane, Greenwood, Zaha
    DCL, Iheanacho

    (Forster, Ward, Thomas, Vydra)

    1. Rhinos
      • 10 Years

      looks awful, I'd start again

  17. Somnus84
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    What to do with Mendy and Forster this week. 1 F Tand no other major fires to put out. I have 8 doubles/triples this week, and 8 playing next week currently

    a) Play Mendy
    b) play Forster
    c) Mendy -> Pickford (season keeper)
    d) Mendy -> Guaita (season keeper)

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      delay the issue for a week. same problem here
      likely going to play mendy cause i quite like the arsenal fixture

  18. KuttiBunja
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Just did:

    Son, Lingard, Gundo, Rudiger out for Bruno, Lindelof, JWP and Burke (4.1)
    -8.
    YOLO.

    Chasing ML leader.

    If you're not going to take risks with 4 weeks left then what's the point.
    Oh and Bruno (TC).

    LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

    (Also -4 away from Full XI in BGW36)

    1. Stupendous

      God that is going to end BADLY

      1. KuttiBunja
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        whyyyyyyyyy?

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Can see those first four easily outscoring the four new ones

          1. KuttiBunja
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Oh really? 🙁

            Word. Pure Bruno or bust here. GL, understandable only because chasing

            1. KuttiBunja
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              In Bruno we trust.
              What can go wrong >_<
              Do you think it will work?

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Oh dear!

      1. KuttiBunja
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        whyyyyyyyy?

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Because I think players you have taken out will outscore players coming in and you are getting rid of players I think will do well in last few games. But good luck.

  19. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    With conflicting reports on whether Forster does play next 2 would you take hit for Guaita or Pickford?

    1. Somnus84
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I'm in the same boat. I think it's not worth it for a hit. One thing I'm contemplating is getting McCarthy in to double on Souths keepers, but that still but be messed up by splitting the gw minutes

  20. Crashjct
    • 5 Years

    Hello all,

    Should I go with Rashford & Digne or Greenwood & Robertson for gw35?

    1. krawiecus
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Rashford & Digne for me. Both decent shoouts for 35 only tbh.

  21. 272MK
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    ML leader total points ahead of me reduced, courtesy of Bale(C)

    Sooo. Whoo should I take a punt on next.

    80pts left to chase. Surely I cant follow mainstream choices now

    1. 272MK
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      BB might even help me reduce the gap by 24pts realistically by itself

    2. krawiecus
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      You can't copy your leader's choices. You can easily make up 50 points this GW with smart decisions. Dont force differentials in. Who are you considering? First names on my mind were Vardy, Rashford, Robertson/Digne as very good players who will be lower owned but should get 180 mins each

  22. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    How many total minutes for

    Rudiger?

    Azpi?

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      This week I mean. Two games each?

      1. krawiecus
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        That would be pretty amazing. 250-70 for me.

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          250?

    2. KuttiBunja
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Rudy 1 game.
      Azpi 2 games.

    3. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      wishful thinking both playing 2 games with fa cup final looming

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Tempted to move Rudiger on but I have no cash for upgrade and there is NOBODY I fancy for his price or less

            Rudiger to Mitchell is all I can come up with

              Could go Azpi to Phillips if you don’t have double attack

    Will Leno play the two game this game week?

    1. krawiecus
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      We will see.
      Sincerely, Arteta and Leno's legs.

        This help not so much. I BB this week and therefore Leno -> Guaita is maybe better.

      Possibly for the reserves

  24. BigBillyBass

    So many morons on here can’t comprehend the possibility of footballers can’t possibly play 3 games in 5 days or they’ll explode or something. Like it’s some unfathomable concept that can’t possibly happen. Get a grip FFS

      Quote from Ole tonight:

      Speaking for the first time since learning United will have to play league games on Sunday, Tuesday and next Thursday, Solskjaer added: "It's made by people who have never played football at this level.

      "It's physically impossible for the players.

      "We are going to need everyone for these four games. It's a short turnaround but we have to be ready."

      You sound like one of those people Ole's referring to.

    RMT:

    Martinez
    TAA Castagne Lindelof
    Bruno Salah Jota JWP
    Kane Watkins Nacho

    Areola - Holding - Konsa - Burke

    1. krawiecus
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B-. Lindelof, Jota, JWP questionable, rest template. 6 blanks for 36. But not bad overall, above average for sure.

  26. Somnus84
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Play 1 from Holding or Lingard?

    1. krawiecus
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      flip a coin

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Lingard

  27. Ibralicious
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Son and Kane falling in price tonight I reckon?

    1. krawiecus
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yes, unless Kane is new KDB

  28. OptimusBlack

    Why ppl selling Vardy Party 🙁

    1. Ibralicious
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      And that too before a double 😀 Herd mentality this season been rampant

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He’s had an absolute nightmare last 2 games... but selling Vardy before Newcastle & a heavily rotated Man Utd is a bit questionable

      As Dutch Van Der Linde would say:

      “Have some goddamn faith”

    3. RichRover
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Depends on your team needs, Iheancho and change for an upgrade elsewhere? Yes please

  29. L S P
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    A) Mount/Azpi->Bruno/Mitchell

    B) Mount/Traore->Greenwood/Siggy (or Zaha or 8.7 Mid)

    1. Ibralicious
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I like B with Zaha

  30. SomeoneKnows
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Does it make sense doing
    Fofana > Maguire?

    Martinez* (Forster*)
    TAA*, Coleman*, Fofana*(Rudiger*, Coufal)
    Salah*, Bruno*, Son, Jota* (Lingard)
    Kane, Iheanacho, Wood

    Got 2FT to use

    1. krawiecus
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No. With two FT, I prefer Rudiger to someone starting for you 36-38 or Wood --> DGW or Son --> Rashford if aggressive.
