The Complete Guide to FPL Double Gameweek 35 tips and advice

The final Double Gameweek of the season is upon us, and with it comes the opportunity to redeem ourselves. For many, Double Gameweek 34 was a chastening experience. And, as we now contemplate our FPL teams, we are left shaking our heads like bemused journalists at an Eric Cantona press conference – “Seagulls?”

We will forever wonder how so many Brighton players came to be in our teams, not that anyone blames the Scoutcast (Heaven forbid!), the question is now: what do we do with them?

As much as we might like to kung-fu kick them into row Z, there are points hits to consider and, well, maybe the FPL trawler will chuck us a sardine or two this week?

Plenty of FPL managers also have to deal with the consequences of Troy Deeney’s stray elbow. The Watford captain managed to get himself sent-off against Arsenal, landing himself a three match ban and leaving Double Gameweek 35 plans in tatters. Given Deeney’s suspension and Brighton’s horror show, is it still the best week to Bench Boost?

With injuries potentially adding to suspension and poor form, Neale observed that:

A transfer or two (perhaps at the expense of a hit) may fix the necessary issues but those Fantasy managers with a flag-heavy squad may now be mulling over a different strategy.

This would seem especially true for those still holding their Triple Captain chip. However, the effectiveness of using the Bench Boost chip in a Double Gameweek is not in question, as David discovered when researching the points gained on Bench Boost last season.

In our FPL Question Time this week, Ted (aka Rotation’s Alter Ego) thinks the best idea is to stick to the plan:

I wouldn’t overthink it. Fix the problem, play the Bench Boost, enjoy, then focus on nailing the rest of the Gameweeks. You’ve might have been dealt a bad hand but I’d want to put it behind you now and not let it drag into other weeks.

If you are looking to transfer out a Brighton defender, he thinks going cheap is a good idea:

You don’t want too much value sat on the bench post-Bench Boost anyway, so moving to cheaper defenders now could be a blessing in disguise.

For others, like Nick from Who Got The Assist?, it’s just a case of grin and bear it.

There were some positives for FPL managers last week: a dramatic and pulsating Champions League quarter-final resulted in defeat for Manchester City. As the FPL General points out, this could bode well for our FPL assets:

We should see less rotation now from Pep Guardiola as they aim to fight off the challenge of Liverpool for the title.

Their main protagonists, Sterling and Aguero, both make this week’s Scout Picks. The pair are also in contention for the armband despite facing two top-six teams this Double Gameweek. Of the two, Neale revealed in his members’ only article that Sterling actually has the better minutes per goal attempt record over the last six matches.

Meanwhile in his Captain Sensible article, David assessed their credentials along with the other candidates, including Captain Poll favourite Raúl Jiménez.

A guest on the Scoutcast this week, Adam Hopcroft highlighted that Wolves have done very well in their big midweek matches at Molineux, when the crowd creates a good atmosphere.  And in the Gameweek 35 Captaincy video, Neale highlighted that Jiménez has four attacking returns in his last five home matches, including three double-digit hauls.

For Spurs, their midweek triumph could prove to be a Pyrrhic victory as the injuries begin to mount. As Neale reported in his Team News Round-up, Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino has hinted heavily at rotation for today’s encounter with Manchester City:

We need to assess the players, we need to assess some players that cannot be possible to play. Some small issues that maybe makes it not possible for some players to play on Saturday again.

The positive aspect for us FPL managers is that the lengthening injury list brings to the fore a few possible differentials. The Chief picked out 1.2% owned Fernando Llorente as a potential beneficiary. At only £5.1m, the Spaniard could prove a canny pick:

With Kane highly unlikely to be involved in Double Gameweek 35 (or the rest of the season for that matter), Llorente is the ideal budget attacking asset from a top-five team.

It’s also worth noting that in-form Heung-Min Son, two goals on Wednesday, picked up a yellow card ruling him out of the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Ajax. This is good news for FPL managers as it makes him more likely to start the Premier League matches around that tie – in Gameweek 36 and Gameweek 37.

Title-chasing Liverpool should not be ignored either, especially with an encounter at home to already-relegated Huddersfield in Gameweek 36. Salah reminded us of his worth in midweek as he followed up his spectacular strike against Chelsea last weekend with a goal and an assist in his side’s 4-1 win over Porto. He registered seven of Liverpool’s 13 attempts on goal.

Picking the right trio of Liverpool players for Gameweek 36 will not be easy. Referring to the difficulty of Salah’s strike against Chelsea, and its corresponding low xG of 0.0395, David pointed out that:

There are two ways of looking at that statistic; either it proves the goal was a fluke and non-owners can worry less about his chances of doing the same again, or it demonstrates his exceptional quality as a finisher.

According to the Wisdom of the Crowd and G-Whizz’s DS stats, fixtures and clean sheet odds two more teams with double Gameweeks are worthy of our attention: Watford and Arsenal. The problem with both teams, perhaps, is identifying the right players.

Arsenal look set to rotate following their win away to Napoli in the Europa League, which sees them advance to the semi-finals of that competition. And who will start up front in place of Troy Deeney for Watford – Gray or Success? There are also fitness concerns surrounding Deulofeu and Pereyra. At the moment, Gray is proving popular among veteran managers.

The sideways transfer of Deeney to Gray could also be the popular transfer for The Great and The Good. There were only a handful of green arrows for this elite bunch, but given that the template for this group included three Brighton defenders and Deeney, it’s easy to understand why.

Deeney was also a thorn in the side for Pete Beswick, currently ranked 115 overall, and professional footballer and FPL manager Jordie van der Laan.

Pete, with three top 5,000 finishes in the last four years, featured in a Meet The Manager video with Joe. Unlike many FPL managers, Pete played his Wildcard in Gameweek 23. It’s a strategy that proved very successful taking him from 5,000 overall to the verge of the top 100.

Jordie, who finished 55th overall a couple of seasons ago, plays professional football in the Netherlands. He has first-hand experience of teams being ‘on the beach’ as revealed when he shared some of his insights to football and FPL with me in a community article.

COMMUNITY TOURNAMENTS

We are at the quarter-final stage in the Fantasy Football Scout Cup. Neale brought us all the drama from the sixth round in his cup round-up. In an open competition, the Quarter Finals feature three teams outside the top 100k along with three teams in the top 10,000. The final is scheduled for Gameweek 37.

In TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition the safety score in Gameweek 34 was 47, this saw 32 managers eliminated. 44 teams are through to Gameweek 35, when the threshold for elimination moves up to 50%, a minimum of 22 managers will depart. The final will take place in Gameweek 37.

Adam Levy remains top of both our main FFS League and our FFS Members League, and for the sixth Gameweek in a row is number one in the world as he extended his lead to 51 points.

Adam needs 338 points to beat the record points total set by FFS member Jon Reeson (aka Westfield Irons) in the 2009/10 season. That’s an average of 85 points per Gameweek. He still has his Bench Boost chip available.

Mark and Rotation’s Alter Ego remain first and second respectively in the FFS Mods & Cons after both played their second Wildcard. Mark’s successful move to bring in Nathan Redmond was tempered slightly by Deeney’s sending off. Although thankfully Deeney remained on his bench.

Andy Sullivan held onto his lead in RedLightning’s Top 10k Any Season mini-league and is up another four places to 37th overall. Grey Head remains in second place, 22 points behind Andy.

Phil O’Connor (aka ‘jia you jia you’) is the new leader RedLightning’s January to May League. Like Pete Beswick, he played his Second Wildcard in Gameweek 23 and his Triple Captain chip in Gameweek 25. He decided to take an 8-point hit ahead of Gameweek 34 but he still outscored most Wildcarders! This is his seventh FPL season, his highest previous finish being 4,467 in 2016/17. Eight green arrows in the past 10 Gameweeks have taken him from 42k in Gameweek 24 to his current position just outside the top thousand (1,061).

Karen Goh moved 21 points ahead of Rotation’s Alter Ego in RedLightning’s The Last Ten Gameweeks mini-league. Karen used her second Wildcard in Gameweek 29, which would appear the better strategy compared to Rotation’s Alter Ego, who played his in Gameweek 34. Karen has risen from 112k in Gameweek 28 to 6,096 since playing her Second Wildcard.

Most of the mini-league leaders are expected to play their Bench Boost in Double Gameweek 35, the exception being ‘jia you jia you’ who played his in Gameweek 1 for a score of 100.

    Lloris not starting saves him from the minus points at least. Hope he isn’t Injured poor baby 🙁

    1. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Oh wtf Lloris is missing

  5. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    If Lloris being rested vs City is the worst thing that happens to me this DGW I’ll be pretty happy.

    Unfortunately I suspect it’s just the start of yet another sh*tshow.

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah hopefully hes not injured

    2. Emp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      He's obviously not being rested

    3. The Left Duke #3
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      It's relentless. A GK doesn't even need a rest ffs what's wrong with him?

    4. Gizzachance
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      bring back ryan, all is forgiven !
      sooner lloris be rested for this one then m/week game

    5. DMil
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah I’m all calm and pragmatic about it just now thinking how it’s fine he wasn’t keeping a clean sheet anyway but give it a few hours and it’ll be meltdown

  6. Krafty Werks
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    OK good luck all, here she is in all her splendour!! 12k rank into the top 10k will do nicely for me this week? Have managed 138k > 12k from GW's 28 - 34.

    BB team for 35 :

    Foster
    Robertson / Doherty / Masina
    Sterling(c) / Mane / Eriksen / Son
    Aguero / Jimenez(vc) / Gray

    Lloris / JWP / Valery / Duffy.

    1. Krafty Werks
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Mmm just see Lloris rested which is a gutter but then with Sterling captain it could actually be a blessing? We'll see?

    2. V-2 Schneiderlin

      Best of luck.

      1. Krafty Werks

      Can't believe theres no fernandinho in there. City will be wide open again.

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Very surprising

  9. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Regretting Jiminez C already. Should have gone with Kun.

    1. Supersonic Marv'
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      TC Jiminez here. Have faith pal.

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I captained Kun so you'll be fine

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I think I changed mine at last second from Jimi to Kun.

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I attempted this also, but too slow

    4. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'm just having exactly the same thought. But would it feel the same having captained Kun and wanting Jiminez because it's the more exciting pick?

    5. aborg
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Why? Jimenez can just as much destroy Brighton as much as Sterling or Kun can !
      Jimenez also good record against top teams, so we can expect one against Arsenal.

      I have Kun, Sterling, Son and Jimi and still went for Jimi captain ! I have no guilt till I actually see them play.

    6. HNI
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Easy matches but team lost the spirit after the heartbreaking FA cup loss. Mancity also heartbreaking but they are agrressive beast looking for title which is big as Europa league isnt much money wise for epl teams nor is prestigious. EPL is. so City player would have been calculated whereas you went for good fixtures captain

    7. V-2 Schneiderlin
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I went with Jimi too - keep the faith

    8. V-2 Schneiderlin
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I still think it's a good pick - Wolves will want to put on a good show at home & have a great home record

  10. bhh

    City cappers will be happy with that Spurs line up. Their defence is appaling

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      0-0 guaranteed

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      They have 6 defenders in the team (Vert, Toby, Davies, Dier, Sanchez, Foyth). If they play with two banks of four in defence that is a defensive team.

  11. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    I'm just hoping Llorente can shake those hips for half an hour later and from the start versus the Seagulls

  12. Miniboss
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Rival fuming as Trippier didn’t make the squad. I have Vertonghen starting and expect him to come out with minus points against that city attack line.

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Where is Trippier though? Hopefully just rested for whm and brighton

  13. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    No breakfast club?

    Also: lloris, are you kidding me? Any word from poch?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'm happy as long as he plays Brighton.
      He gave us CS last gw anyway over Ryan managers

      1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Yes, very pleased with last week. As long as he gets brighton. Hopefully just a minor knock.

        I took a punt on neale though. Bb ruined.

    Lol, not even close! The knobhead defends himself by say he never claims to be ITK despite his tweet saying the team 'sounds like'..

        Obviously 🙄 but if you say the team 'sounds like' it implies some inside info

      sounds like he wanted a few retweets

    5. FC Hakkebøf

      He also said "potentially" in the begining. To me it looks like nothing but a guess.

    6. Brosstan

      The idiots are those who believe he has inside info.. He's entitled to post whatever crap he wants, that's what twatter is for

    How many points were we expecting from Lloris anyway?

    No big loss.

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I was hoping for something midweek but I doubt he’ll be risked in that one now.

    2. diesel001

      Pen save from Kun when Kun goes the same direction again to try to bluff the GK.

    3. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I need every point possible at this stage.

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      This- as long as back for Brighton game perhaps 1 point- 2 at most lost

    5. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      2. I'm sad about my missing 2 points

    6. Krafty Werks
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Wasn't expecting much from Lloris in this anyway and as a Sterling capper it could actually turn out to be a positive if a few jitters from Gazzaniga?

    So getting Trippier 2 weeks ago wasn't a great move. 😐

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      ...not really no.

      Makes him easier to ship out for a Liverpool defensive double-up though 🙂

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Good thought. May opt for this over a Firmino transfer in.

    2. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]
      • 5 Years

      Brighton at home ... praying he starts that one!

  17. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Spurs playing for a draw by the looks of it... Won't happen 🙁

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Wouldn’t mind a 4-4 draw

  18. Chenku╰☆╮

    Hearing lloris and trippier partied too hard after CL and had a massive hangover

  19. Brosstan

    I will send a strongly worded letter to Poch. This is unacceptable.

    1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor

      I will co-sign

  20. HD7
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Decided to playby heart and Captained Aguero and and Sterling VC.
    Second placed in my league has Sterling and will probably C him but decided not to be too pragmatic and block him
    Im a good guy I guess 🙂

  21. Hotdogs for Tea

    Lloris & Llorente owner 🙂
    BB fail? 😉

    1. Miniboss
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Still Brighton to come.

    2. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Llorente could start against Brighton! I have Lloris and worried he's injured now.

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I got the latter expecting a sub appearance today and a start versus Brighton - so I'm sanguine.
      Lloris was unlucky, but 6-7pts later in the week and looks good for the rest of the season.

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Never buy anyone whose surname begins "Ll".

  22. Niho992

    Tottenham without RB and with worst DC in the world Sanchez. Come on Agueroooo

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      DC?

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Defensive Center

      2. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Dance commander?

      3. Niho992
        • 5 Years

        CB

  23. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    People mentioning lack of a right back, lack of defensive mids looks disastrous.

    No winks, sissoko, wanyama - andndier has barely played in months.

    Wish I owned kdb.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Gazzaniga
      Foyth Sanchez Toby Vert
      Son Eriksen Dier Davies
      Alli
      Moura

      Pretty defensive team IMO set up for long balls down the channels and the counter attack.

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Possibly. I'd expect eriksen and alli to swap positions if that's the case.

  24. FPL_Gyarados
    • 10 Years

    Might as well park the team bus in front of the goals there

  25. the german

    That aguero 5 against spurs incoming again.

    3. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      They want their players to start... unbelievable

    4. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I know. People should be happy their players aren't playing as it means others will get better scores.

          Kinda wonder if this was meant to be a wum/troll post because otherwise it's just ridiculous considering it's always question question question and no thanks.
          Another name to add to the list. 🙂

    Went for trippier....not even in the squad, great

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Was always a risk. You should have gone for a safe option like Vertonghen or Lloris.

  28. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    No Lloris - Sterling captain

    I’m looking for a 100-0 city win

    1. DF
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      It'll never happen. Football matches are usually like 1 or 2 goals for each team. Maybe 4 or 5 max.

  29. The Ejiptian King
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Sterling against an out of position RB today and then Ashley Young against Utd!

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      If you look at it another way, they are playing with 6 CBs...

    2. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'll find a big couch 😮

    3. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      It depends who it is. If it is toby I think he might do better than trippier did.
