Five-time top 1k finisher Tom Freeman: The stand-out stats for Triple Gameweek 35

With Manchester United playing three times and another eight clubs featuring twice, Triple Gameweek 35 will be a pivotal part of our Fantasy Premier League (FPL) seasons.

So, with that in mind, I’m going to pull out some relevant player and team statistics ahead of Friday’s deadline.

It makes sense to focus on this week’s round of fixtures but I’m also keeping one eye on the run-in, with differentials at West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur also making an appearance.

Shall we begin?



Earlier this week, I was fortunate enough to join fellow Pro Pundits Lateriser and Zophar on The FPL Wire.

We ran through all the teams involved in Triple Gameweek 35 and also talked targets for the run-in.

The chat complements this column and goes a bit deeper into some of the subjects covered, so if you’re into that kind of thing you can check it out via the link below:

    1 FT 1.2 ITB

    Any obv move(s) or save? Will pop BB aswell.

    Mendy - Forster
    Shaw - Rudiger - Phillips - Fofana - Holding
    Salah - Bruno - Bale - Maddison - Lingard
    Watkins - Kane - Nacho

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      Watkins > DCL?

  2. McSauce
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    Benteke time anyone?????????????

    1. Reece’s Pieces
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      Cue the tumbleweed ...

  3. Pulisic 4 President
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    Son + Targeet -> Greenwood and TAA for a -4?

    1. Pulisic 4 President
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      Targett*

    2. Manani
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      yes

  4. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    With so many important games coming up for Chelsea, do you think Alonso starts any game in PL? If yes, then which ones is your guess?

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      GW38 if top 4 is wrapped up

  5. Manani
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    best defender this GW for 4.7m or under?

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      Ward maybe? Konsa?

      1. NationalHuntForEver
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 hours ago

        Joel Ward could be a good shout. Tyrick Mitchell is interesting but is he guaranteed?

        1. Neves say Neves
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 hours ago

          Mitchell started his first game in a long time last week, I wouldn't expect him to play both games unless there's some injury I don't know about!

    2. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      Phillips if you have a free LIV slot

      1. Pegboy
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 hours ago

        Is Phillips nailed for next few games?

        1. FPL Theorist
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 4 hours ago

          As long as he stays fit, yes because they much prefer to have Fabinho in midfield.

  6. Neves say Neves
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    Bottomed
    Sold Bruno last week, looking for a way to get him + maybe more united assets in. Any help

    Mendy
    TAA Fofana Holding
    Salah Son Zaha Jota
    Kane DCL Iheanacho

    Forster JLingz Dallas Coady
    1FT .5 ITB

    Any thoughts?

    1. Invincibles
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      TAA, son > Shaw, Bruno

      1. ilikewud
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 hours ago

        Trent out with a DWG is a big call.

        1. trinzoo
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 hours ago

          and game in 36.

    2. Spurs63
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      I think anyone who has Bruno should captain him as the EO will be off the scale, conversely if you do not have him I wouldnt bust a gut to get him in.

      Maybe swap Son for Greenwood then bring him back for uniteds blank in GW36, and maybe Maguire for Coady or Dallas

  7. davies
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    In preparation for GW35+36, is this worth -8?

    Alonso/Lingard/Bamford > Shaw/Foden/DCL (0.0 ITB)

    1. Fuddled FC
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      I'm not sure you can rely on Foden to start so it wouldn't if he doesn't

      1. davies
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 hours ago

        I would bench him this week but can’t afford the other moves without downgrading Lingard

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      Can you do Alonso/Bamford > Shaw//DCL this GW, then get Foden with FT next GW ?

      1. davies
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 hours ago

        Unfortunate not - need the 0.6 from Lingard downgrade to fund it

        1. Fuddled FC
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 4 hours ago

          How about JWP instead of Lingard?

          1. davies
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 4 hours ago

            Would you bench Jota for him?

  8. AppleDunk
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    Should I start Forster or Mendy?

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      Eddie

  9. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    Reguilon to Digne worth a -8?

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      i would

    2. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      -4****

    3. Reece’s Pieces
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      Yep. If keeping for the season

  10. Debauchy
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    Questions questions questions
    At this stage of the season it's pretty simple if you're chasing you do not get in the obvious you risk for your reward
    Questions without context are meaningless
    Yep depends what you are chasing but you get the drift ...

  11. Ohh1454
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    See a lot of Guaita and Castagne in teams. I’ve schmicheal and Digne instead. Which seems better ? Tempted to switch

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      I don't really like Schmeichel's run-in at all.

      Castagne is fine this week, can easily ship next week (but it'd likely be for TAA or Digne right?)

      Guaita & Digne from the two, but Guaita is debatable as he's Palace. More if a DGW pick.

      1. Ohh1454
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 hours ago

        Should’ve mentioned I’m on fh haha

  12. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    Kane to Vardy worth it?

    Would probably get Kane back aftur this gw.

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      Nope

  13. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    Jota, Kane to Mané, Watkins for -4?

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      nah, Mane has been horrific recently

    2. Fuddled FC
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      Watkins has hard fixtures though

  14. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    On BB already on -4 and have 12 DGWers, plus Lingard, Bamford, Kane.

    Is Bamford to DCL worth a second hit ?

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      If you think Raph will be back for the good final 3 fixtures then you may want to hold Bamford.

    2. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      I'd say so

  15. iL PiStOlErO
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    What would you do here? Looking at more utd but except Henderson everyone else should rotate.
    Also still have TC, any suggestions for that?

    Mendy 3.8
    Castagne Coady Robbo Coufal Mitchell
    Bruno Jota Lingard Maddison Raphinha
    Kane Vardy Lacca

    2ft, 0 itb

    1. Toby Lerone
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      Coady to lindelof?

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 hours ago

        Can do that yes but not sure atm.

  16. Toby Lerone
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    A) Mendy & rudiger > Guaita & Maguire

    B) Son & vydra > DCL & greenwood

    2ft. Cheers

  17. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    Play Martinez or Pickford?

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      Tough one, maybe Martinez just because of save points and BPS

  18. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    Like a lot of others without any chips and trying to maximise this week, I'm trying to balance the value of taking hits and maybe more next week.

    I'm chasing in my main ML, 25 points to make up, so I'm willing to take a risk.

    The move I keep coming back to is: Son + Welbeck + Rudiger > Greenwood + DCL + Maguire (-4). Worth it?

    There's also the option of doing Watkins instead of DCL, and Digne instead of Maguire (still -4), saving a hit next week.

    Currently 2FT 0.6ITB
    Mendy
    TAA Rudiger Holding
    Salah Bruno Jota Son
    Kane Nacho Welbeck

    Forster Lingard Coady Masuaku

    Thanks!

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      May prefer the second option, but first option could be better if you think DCL/Maguire would be better differentials on your rival.

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 hours ago

        Thanks. I think either option would be a differential. He has Shaw.

        It's just so tricky to balance the 35 / 36 reward and risk. Tempted to do Maguire and upgrade to Digne next week.

  19. mcsteely
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    Any feedback on this FH?

    Schmeichel
    Shaw, TAA, Digne
    Bruno, Salah, Greenwood, JWP
    Nacho, DCL, Vardy

    I like Shaw over Maguire for the attacking potential.
    What about Robbo instead of Digne?

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      Looks great. I'd keep Digne.

    2. MMN
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      Gone Guaita Castagne Zaha instead of Schmeichel Digne JWP. I like Digne but not other two.

  20. chaser123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    Bench 1:
    1) Holding
    2) Holgate
    3) Mitchell

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      Holding isn't starting anymore?

      1. Fuddled FC
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 hours ago

        You sure?

      2. chaser123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 hours ago

        He was rested one game wasn't he? The one that Luiz was injured in?

  21. Pompel
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    Don't you just hate it when expected price changes might force your hand on Thursdays, without having the full picture from Friday's pressers. So stressful!

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      I missed Bale by waiting too long. Gone too early this time but I don’t want to miss Bruno so hoping it works out

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 hours ago

        Can't go without Bruno this GW, just wait until tonight's match just in case

  22. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    Have Bruno and Shaw, do I need that third United player? Will cost me 8 points getting them in and out

    1. Fuddled FC
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      no

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      No

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      no

  23. Fuddled FC
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    Over next 2 each combination plays 6 games... which is best?

    a) Digne & Watkins
    b) Maguire & DCL

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      A

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      A probs

      Large assumption that Maguire will play 6.

  24. Debauchy
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    Said it once I repeat when you question give context -

    Chasing small
    Chasing Big
    Leading Big

    1. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      Chasing small and small leads all dependant on rivals in the respective MLs though.

    2. dbeck

      • 6 Years

      Chasing big, no man utd and 2ft, 0itb, what you seeing here:

      Forster Johnston
      Trent Fofana Holding James Rudi
      Salah Jota Son Trossard Jota
      Nacho Vardy Kane

  25. YuvalFPL
    • 13 Years

    Raphinha is predicted to go down in price tonight.

    Can you go down in price if you have an injury flag?

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      Yes

      1. YuvalFPL
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 hours ago

        fantastic. master plan to bring aguero and raphinha in next week is on!

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      Yes

      Only difference is more transfers are required

  26. rokonto
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    Watkins and dcl or kane and Vestergaard?

  27. trinzoo
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    Maddy > Greenwood for a hit?

    Maddy no form (but maybe due). Both don't play in 36. 37/38 much better for Greenwood.

    1. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      Probably keep Maddison. What other ways can you get Greenwood?

      1. trinzoo
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 hours ago

        by losing Kane and Lingard/Raphinia (so -8)

  28. Kane Train
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 hours ago

    Greenwood or Rashford?

    1. YuvalFPL
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 hours ago

      Mase.

  29. How I met your Mata
    • 8 Years

    A or B
    Going forward
    A Son and Vydra
