Captain Sensible

Who is the best FPL captain for Triple Gameweek 35?

The Gameweek 35 captaincy has completely turned on its head now that we are planning for an unprecedented Triple Gameweek.

Manchester United play Aston Villa (away), Leicester (home) and Liverpool (home) between now and Thursday, thrusting Bruno Fernandes (£11.5m) back into the limelight once more.

Still, there are concerns about how many Red Devils will actually play three times, which means it is still worth considering some of the Double Gameweek options on offer from other clubs.

As always, the Captain Sensible article is here to answer your captaincy questions and a whole lot more. In order to help you settle your conundrums, we analyse extensive data from the Fantasy Football Scout Premium Members Area, which is why only those with a valid subscription can access it in full.

CAPTAIN POLL

Unsurprisingly, Manchester United’s Portuguese midfielder has dominated the vote, having gained nearly 60.0% of votes since we reset the poll in the wake of Wednesday’s groundbreaking announcement.

Behind him sit Leicester City’s in-form Kelechi Iheanacho (9.8%) and colleague Mason Greenwood (7.0%).

The top-five list is completed by Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) and Marcus Rashford (5.7% and 2.8% of total votes, respectively)

In order to tackle this week’s captaincy debate effectively, where only certain teams play more than once, we will focus on those clubs and their assets separately.

    Watkins or DCL?

    Greenwood or zaha or JWP?

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

      D & G for me

    2. mash
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      DCL
      Greenwood worth a punt, JWP safer for security of starts

    3. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      DCL (v fine margin) + Greenwood

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

      JWP if going Greenwood means you need to take a hit in GW36 to field 11, otherwise Greenwood.

      Watkins Vs DCL is close, so go with the majority above

    5. estheblessed
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Ive got DCL, Greenwood and Zaha

  2. NULL-X-VOID
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Who to get in, already on a -8 (getting in Bruno, Gwood and...

    A) DCL
    B) Antonio

    1. The White Pele
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      has to be A

    2. mash
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Tough one, this - I say Antonio as more explosive, but fitness is always a concern with him. DCL has the better fixtures, so is 'safer' in that respect. Both sides still chasing european competition, so it's close!

  3. RogDog_jimmy

    2 years, 10 months ago

    Order these defenders (help me sort out my bench!)

    1. TAA (SOU, mu)
    2. Fofana (NEW, mu)
    3. Ward (shu, sou_
    4. Holding (WBA, che)
    5. Rudiger (mci, ARS)

    1. The White Pele
      • 6 Years

      1
      2
      5

        Rudi rotation has me worried - even though Chelsea defense is clearly the best of the lot).

        Cheers!

    Afternoon all! Happy TGW tinkering...

    Mendy
    Shaw Konsa Phillips
    Salah Fernandes Son Jota
    Kane Iheanacho Wood

    Forster Lingard Rudiger Coady

    2FT, £0 ITB, no chips left

    A) Mendy and Rudiger to McCarthy and Maguire
    B) Mendy to Henderson
    C) Phillips and Kane to TAA and DCL
    D) Phillips and Son to TAA and JWP

    Assuming Forster doesn't play in GW36, option A leaves me with 10 players for GW36 plus 1FT (probably to use on Shaw/Maguire)

    The other options leave me with 8 players in GW36 and 2FT (B) or 1FT (C&D)

    Option A looks good to me (as unglamourous as the Saints GK combo is!), would you agree? Any other options I should consider?

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

      C

  5. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Rodgers said they will be 'fine' yesterday in press but no Vardy or Evans in the training video Leicester posted today.

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      This completely changes my FH team if true.

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

        we'll get early team news probably

  6. Chandler Bing
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Which duo on FH?

    A. Auba and Shaw
    B. Greenwood and Trent

    1. Lexi2014
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A for me

    2. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B for me...........dont trust Auba or Arsenal.

    3. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B.

      But you could do Rashford and TAA. Auba not even on the radar for me. Way too expensive risk.

      1. Chandler Bing
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah I can do Rashford too. Will depend on UEL minutes.

    4. The White Pele
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B. close tho

    5. MightyGar
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

  7. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Is this worth -8 in ur opinion guys?

    Son Reguilon Alonso Dallas... OUT

    TAA Digne Maguire Zaha...IN

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

      Ultimately, probably yes.

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I'd try do something where you keep Dallas and do a -4 only.
      I don't trust that Digne/Everton are all that good for the double

  8. Lexi2014
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Thinking Pereira, Son and Dias -> Greenwood, Zaha and Digne. Would be a -8 hit.

    Martinez
    Dias / Shaw / Castagne
    Son / Pereira / Fernandes / Mount
    Watkins / Nacho / Kane

    McCarthy / Dunk / Konsa / Soucek

    Thoughts?

  9. Wılly
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Ederson, Son, Lucas to:

    A. Henderson, Bruno, Lucas (2FT)
    B. Guaita, Bruno, Zaha (-4)

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

  10. JohnnyRev7
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Who's gonna score more over the MUN TGW: Maguire or AWB?

    Please consult your crystal balls and advise. 🙂

    1. MightyGar
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      My balls are telling me AWB

      1. JohnnyRev7
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I think you may be right. I watch the game tonight and ponder more. Cheers for responding.

        1. MightyGar
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          They have similar minutes, similar goal / assist threat, but Maguire is more likely to be booked and therefore AWB is slightly more likely to get a cheeky bonus point. Enjoy the game!

  11. squ1rrel
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    I've got no United cover.

    Do I need to take a hit? Maybe Reguilon -> Maguire?

    Martinez
    TAA - Reguilon - Dias - Digne
    Salah - Bale - Siggy - JWP
    Kane - Iheanacho(c)

    Areola - Bamford - Lingard - Struijk

    0 FT, 0.1 ITB

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

      Yes, do it.

    2. Lexi2014
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yep

  12. WhatWouldYourZlatanSay
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bottomed...

    Oh dear.

    A) Kane, Lingard, Veltman > DCL, Bruno, Maguire (-8)
    B) Kane, Lingard, Veltman > DCL, Bruno, Shaw (-8)
    C) Kane, Mount, Veltman > DCL, Bruno, Maguire (-8)
    D) Kane, Mount, Veltman > DCL, Bruno, Shaw (-8)
    E) Kane, Mount, Wellbeck > DCL, Bruno, Benteke (-8)
    F) Kane, Lingard, Wellbeck > DCL, Bruno, Benteke (-8)
    G) Kane, Mount, Wellbeck > DCL, Bruno, Watkins (-8)
    H) Kane, Lingard, Wellbeck > DCL, Bruno, Watkins (-8)
    I) Kane, Lingard > DCL, Bruno (-4)
    J) Kane, Mount > DCL, Bruno (-4)

    My logic has gone. Help appreciated.

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

      I like how you've narrowed your options.

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

        Ikr. As I said. Logic. Gone.

    2. The White Pele
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I or J.

    3. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      J.

      Rotation and blank for Mount make him less good to Lingard for me.

    4. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      G

    5. JohnnyRev7
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I was hoping you'd get to a Z option.

      Then we could all read and our heads would explode.

      Assuming yours had expolded first. 😉

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

        I'm on it. Then I'm moving on to cyrillic alphabet.

        1. JohnnyRev7
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Good move and then go for Khmer (Cambodia) which has a 74 character alphabet.

          I think you're onto something. 🙂

  13. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Martinez
    TAA Shaw Rudiger
    Salah Bruno Greenwood Jota
    Kane DCL Nacho

    (Fabri Lingard Coufal Struijk)
    2 FTs & 0.0m

    Thoughts on Kane, Struijk & Fabri ➡️ Watkins, Digne & 5.4m GK for -4?

    Will use BB this week.
    Will do Nacho & Bruno to Kane/Aguero & Foden/Mahrez next week for 11 starters.

  14. TKC07
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Current Team: 1 FT, 0.8 itb
    Martinez | {Pope}
    AWB | Rudiger | Konsa | {Dallas} | {Semedo}
    Salah | Jota | Greenwood (C) | Son | {Lingard}
    DCL | Nacho | Kane

    Which transfer(s) would you suggest?
    1. Lingard, Kane > Bruno, Watkins (-4) with Bruno Captain and bench Son.
    2. Son, Semedo > Bruno, Mitchell (-4) with Bruno Captain
    3. Lingard, Pope > Zaha, Henderson (-4) with Salah/Greenwood Captain and bench Martinez
    4. Any other suggestions?

  15. OLLY G
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    (A) Henderson and PVA

    (B) Guaita and Maguire

    Thanks.

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

  16. Alli
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Any of these make sense for -4 and then BB? Or other suggestions?

    A. Dunk, Dallas > Shaw/Maguire, Ward
    B. Dunk, Lowton > Shaw/Maguire, Mitchell
    C. Dunk, McCarthy > Ward, Guaita/Pickford

    Martinez - McCarthy
    Rudiger - Dunk - Holding - Dallas - Lowton
    Salah - Bruno - Lingard - Gwood - Son
    Kane - Iheanacho - Bamford

  17. fplking14
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Ward or Coleman to BB?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Coleman

  18. adams2318
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Not sure what to do:
    A. Greenwood and a -4 hit in gw36 to field 11 or
    B. Zaha?

    1. TKC07
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B, if you already have Bruno AND/OR Rashford.

      1. adams2318
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I have Bruno, and will be playing TC chip, and Shaw. Thanks

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Zaha, if fit.

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

      A.

  19. MFC86
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Who scores more this GW
    Lindgard or JWP

    Leaning JWP with DGW

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      JWP

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I'm hoping Lingard as a WH fan and fpl owner

      And also i can easily see 2 blanks from JWP.

      And can easily see a 2-2 with wh-eve, and would expect lingard to be invovled. he had 2 pre-assists last week even without returning.

      1. MFC86
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yes mate I can see returns from lingard but also tempted by the DGW

    3. adams2318
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Jwp

  20. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Have 2FTs and will play the FH in GW 36, so need to use both.

    Alonso to Shaw is the first.
    What's the next best move?

    A. Sanchez to Guaita?
    B. Some other suggestion?

    Lloris
    Alonso Rudiger TAA
    Salah Bruno Greenwood Jota
    Kane Nacho Watkins
    ------------------------------------------------
    Sanchez Lingard Holding Masuaku

    Nothing in the bank.

    Not interested in Kane to Vardy atm...but could be convinced otherwise.

    Thanks.

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A is interesting - I'm wondering if you do Rudiger > Dallas for the later fixtures - and play Holding.

      Who do you want in gw37 that you could get now and sit on the bench?

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Dallas would have been an easy transfer but 0.2m short.

        I would want Antonio in 37. But will probably keep Watkins for the double.

        1. RogDog_jimmy
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          yeah - i'm planning Nacho>Antonio next week - but wouldn't do it now either.

          Probably a keeper move to save some money then - you got a good team!

          1. EmreCan Hustle
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Cheers. Good luck!

              thanks, you too!

  21. Muscout
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Martinez
    TAA, Shaw, Rud
    Salah, Greenwood, Zaha, Son
    Nacho, Watkins, Kane,

    McCarthy, Lingard, Dallas, Dier 0 itb

    35 - Son and Kane to Bruno and DCL (All 11 double)
    36 - Bruno and Nacho to Jota and Kane -4 (11 starters)

    Would you change anything?

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      like the plan.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Depends on injuries etc as ever.

  22. The Frenchie
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Free hit done, please bench one ;-):

    Guaita
    TAA / Digne / Castagne / Maguire
    Bruno / Greenwood / Zaha / Salah
    DCL / Vardy / Ihenacho

    1. moment
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Probably Digne

    2. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Digne

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

      Probably Castagne

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

      Bench Guaita, and play Castagne as a fly keeper

      1. The Frenchie
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        😀

  23. NULL-X-VOID
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    do we see Rudiger being rotated?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I'm keeping him. I think he might start both.

      1. NULL-X-VOID
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Hopefully, im going to start him with wood first sub

  24. Pep Roulette

    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bruno Fernandes: "When I was a kid, I played maybe seven or eight hours a day. So, to play 90 minutes every three days or two days is not enough for me."

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Did he really say that?

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yes

    2. Brehmeren
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Lol, why does he look so knackered then?

  25. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Would you do any of these moves?

    A) Considering Jota wasn't in the starting lineup vs Manutd, would you do Jota to Greenwood for a hit?

    B) Rudiger to Coleman (-4)

    C) Wood to DCL (-4)

  26. NULL-X-VOID
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Start Emi or Mendy??

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      With Mendy I expect 12 points, with Emi it's either 2 or 15+, so depends on how much risk you're willing to take.

  27. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Already have 10 doublers and 2FTs. Really want to get DCL. suggestions? Will FH36

    Mendy
    Taa Shaw Veltman Holding -- Rudiger
    Salah Bruno Gwood Maddison -- Lingard
    Nacho Kane -- Davis

    A: Veltman + Maddison + Davis >> Digne + esr + DCL (-4). play 433
    B: Maddison + Kane + Davis >> Zaha/Jota + DCL + Vardy (-4)
    C: Veltman + Maddison >> Digne + Zaha/Jota and ignore DCL. stick to 352

  28. jimmyharte
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Who hauls more?

    A) Shaw
    B) Maguire

    1. TKC07
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B) Have a feeling Maguire is gonna score at least one in 3 games.

      Shaw likely to be rested for at least one game.

  29. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Lloris, Son, Lingard, Kane ->
    Henderson, Bruno, Zaha, DCL -8

    Henderson**
    TAA* Digne* Targett*
    Salah* Bruno** Greenwood** Zaha*
    Vardy* DCL* Nacho*

    (Sanchez ESR* Dunk Dallas)

    Leaves 1.5ITB and 9 players for GW36

    Thoughts?

  30. Saosin
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Will Holding play?

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I suspect so - Luiz got hurt again right?
      If no Luiz in Europe today I'm guessing Holding is in - but maybe want an injury update to know about the dgw fixtures.
      He's on my bench.

      1. Saosin
        • 10 Years
