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.

    Really struggling this week. No chips left but 2FT and 1.8 ITB.

    Do these moves look sound for next two GWs (each for a - 4)? Or do I need more Man U...

    35: Son, Rudiger and Vydra - JWP, Digne and Watkins
    36: Vardy and Ihenacho - Kane and Antonio

    Mendy, Forster
    TAA, Fofana, Coady, Rudiger, Holding
    Salah, Bruno, Son, Jota, Lingard
    Vardy, Ihenacho, Vydra

    Any other suggestions welcomed!

      Decent moves

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

      good planning. i might do a cheap palace defender instead of Digne (Ward?) and upgrade either JWP>??? or Watkins>DCL
      I really don't trust Everton defense - expect Palace to do just as well so would rather spend the money elsewhere.

    Jota to Zaha worth it? Doubt Jota will play more than one game.

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

      Not for me

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

    Manchester United lineup to face AS Roma: De Gea, Wan Bissaka, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw, Pogba, Fred, Bruno, van de Beek, Cavani, Greenwood
    @mufcMPB

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

      Rashford Rest

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

      Strong

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

      Rashford (c) it is then

    4. djman102
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No initial answers on Greenwood vs Maguire next week then.

    5. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Rashford over Greenwood?

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Think Rashford’s minutes will be managed anyway during the 3 games, due to his health

      2. djman102
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Bringing in Salah too so can't afford it unless I downgrade DCL to Benteke or something like that.

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

      FFS Shaw

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

      I make that 10 days off for Bruno, he will he raring to go for the triple!

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

        Damn it, didn't see Bruno was playing

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

          Yeah his is his 2nd game in a week... and he’s staring at 4 games in 7 days now...

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

            No doubt he will get subbed off in the 86th minute when they are leading 9-3 on aggregate

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

    My team is
    Mendy Forster
    TAA, Holding, Coady, Struijk, Burn
    Salah, Fernandez, Jota, Son, Moura
    Kane, Nacho, Davis

    Would Coady to Maguire, and Moura to JWP be a good move for a -4 hit.
    Gives me 11 for next gameweek too with my 1 free transfer.

    Any other ideas?
    Please help??

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

      Yep, good moves

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

      like it. but are Moura and Davis part of the 11 for next week? Because I don't know if I like that...

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

        Davis is but I’m swapping Moura for JWP so he will be playing instead. I really wanted to get Greenwood for Son but felt I would need to take a few hits next week which I thought wouldn’t be worth it.

  5. manu4life99
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    1 week only

    A) Maguire + Son

    B) TAA + Greenwood (-4)

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

      B

  6. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Who are Mendy and Forster owners playing in the double?

    Thanks

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

      At the moment Mendy.
      Although I might do Mendy to Mccarthy

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

      Mendy for me

  7. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Vardy 343 or Mane 352 or Auba 352?

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

      FH? Mane

  8. 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 / BB active

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

    Nacho & Bruno to Kane/Aguero & Foden/Mahrez next week for 11 starters.

  9. premierleaguesgreatestevert…
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    This gw:

    A) Holding
    B) Fofana

    1. Belli2007
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I have Fofana although his minutes being managed due to Ramadan (which does end next week). Can't see him not starting both matches as Leicester have to get points but last two matches he has played less than 60mins

      1. premierleaguesgreatestevert…
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers. I want to go Fofana but already have Castagne playing and fear going all in on the same team. On other hand, feel Leicester have more about them in the PL and don't fancy trusting Arsenal to CS against WBA as a way of getting returns

  10. CloudSky
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    United with all first teamers starting outside of Hendo and Rash.

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Gives us no more clues

  11. thepirates
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    How about this FH 35 team:

    Henderson
    Coleman - Shaw - Castagne - TAA
    Salah - Fernandes - Mane
    DCL - Nacho - Vardy

    1. Kroos-Control
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Maguire more likely to play 3 games.. Although lose Shaw's attacking threat.
      Mane Salah double up risky but could pay off if your chasing..
      Other than that looks solid

  12. WE GO FOR IT
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    All aboard the Rashford train!

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

      You may get returns but probably THE most frustrating asset to watch

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Oh, I'm already maxed out with Shaw, Bruno and Greenwood. That was for all the ones who were gonna target the attacker who was benched today.

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Rashford’s health will lead to managed minutes anyway

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        But I guess he's nailed to start 2 games now though!

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Guess so. Worth going for him over greenwood?

          1. WE GO FOR IT
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            I have Greenwood already. So, I hope he outscores Rashford. But if you're on a FH, Rashford is a good differential since everyone is going for Greenwood

            1. RamaJama
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              Good luck!

  13. Kroos-Control
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Best FH team?
    Right Now I'm At:
    Guaita
    Maguire Trent Castagne Strujk Mitchell
    Bruno Greenwood Salah Zaha Saka
    DCL Watkins Nacho

    Going for a 3-4-3 Most likely. Any Changes? Thank you 🙂

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

    Rashford (c) locked

  15. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    FH team final choice is between:

    a) Greenwood

    b) Wan Bissaka/Shaw

    Schmeichel
    Maguire - Robinson - TAA
    Salah - Fernandes - Zaha
    Vardy - Iheanacho - DCL

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

      A

      1. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        More potential to explode

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A

    3. #Swish41
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A for me too!

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

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

    With 2FT and no FH/BB should I do any of these transfers?

    A) Fofana + Wood > Maguire + Benteke
    B) Fofana + Lingard > Maguire + JWP
    C) Fofana + Son > Maguire + Greenwood

  17. mr. inconspicuous
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Please tell me I’m crazy that I’m considering playing Mitchel instead of either Son or Kane?

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

      Very

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

      You appear to have contracted a particularly bad case of Doublegameweekitis

      By the sounds of that decision it’s progressed rapidly to stage 5

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

        Well 'es lucky! I've contracted Treblegameweekiti stage 6! Because 14 of us live in a 'ole in the ground and light our farts to get Internet working. And when our Dad comes home....

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

    Everyone hoping Arsenal can get the big win tonight then?

    Personally I don’t like, or support them at all...

    But it would be great novelty value to have 4 PL a clubs in those 4 final slots

    1. Belli2007
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No

      If I am correct and they won the Europa League they would get CL spot and 4th in PL would lose out.

      I support Leicester and things are far from decided!!!

      1. djman102
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        4th would still have a CL spot in that case unless Chelsea also win UCL and finish fifth.

        1. Belli2007
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Ah, ok thanks.. Had not picked that point up.......

          I do actually think Arsenal will turn it around tonight

  19. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Shaw won't play villa then.

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

      I think he plays villa and pool

    2. djman102
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Might not be a bad thing, if United continue their recent history of playing for 0-0s in the bigger games.

  20. DRIZ ✅
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Why is Bruno Shaw Greenwood starting. Let hope they come out safe

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

      Madness isnt it. He just never rests Bruno ever.

      1. Belli2007
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Lets hope that is true and he plays all 3.

        TC,

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

    Ugh whays this news about vardy not being i training video??

    We usually get a Leicester leak anyway right?? So sjd know before deadline if he starts?

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

        Boom

        Think I’m going Vardy (c) again

        Chasing losses is soooo much fun 🙂

  22. Sharkytect
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Gulp. All 3 of my utd players starting tonight. Please bring them off at half time!!!

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

    So does this make Rashford a better option than Greenwood for the TGW?

  24. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Quite a few were on here hoping for the lineups will give an idea as to who to bring in, don't think OGS has done much to that end

  25. fpork
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Kane, Lingard-> Bruno, DCL?

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

      Do it

  26. #Swish41
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    To facilitate Bamford > Watkins:

    1. Son > Greenwood*** (FT, leaves me with 9 for 36)

    2. Mendy > Pickford** (play Rudiger, bench Godfrey, 11 for 36)

    3. Rudiger > Ward/4.5m with good 36 and bench this week - 11 for 36

    Mendy**
    Shaw*** Godfrey** Phillips**
    Son Salah** Bruno*** Jota**
    Kane Watkins** Nacho**

    Rudger** Dallas Lingz Forster**

    Appreciate any advice!!

    1. Belli2007
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      2 or 3.

      While you might gain points from DGW's this is lost if only fielding 9 the following week or have to take hits to get 11 out

      1. #Swish41
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks Belli, you are a wise man!

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

    Greenwood, Shaw and Bruno all starting. Eff off Ole. The tie is won! Annoying.

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

      Rashford missing out is interesting.

    2. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Barca vs Pool was won too and they lost 4-0 with first 11

  28. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Mendy
    James Phillips Shaw
    Bruno Son Jota Lingard
    Kane Richarlison Iheanacho

    Forster Gundogan Semedo Dias

    1ft 4m itb

    What to do?

    A. Nothing
    B. Son and Gundogan to Salah and JWP
    C. Gundogan Jota Kane to Salah Zaha Watkins
    D. Something else

    Cheers all

  29. Legohair
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Dallas to Digne worth to take -8 hit?

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

      I'd want Dallas to end the season they have a good last 3. Any other defender that could make way?

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

        No,dallas my only single gw player

        1. Belli2007
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Not worth -8

  30. #Swish41
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    2 quick ones:

    1. jota > Greenwood sideways right?

    2. Double Chelsea defence overkill (CITY Ars)?

    Cheers!

    1. djman102
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      1. if free, could pay off, especially if Jota stays benched vs United

      2. Maybe, but I see Chel-City as a very cagey 0-0 given it's a warmup for the UCL Final. Neither will want the other to gain a mental advantage.

      1. #Swish41
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Valid points! You’ve made me second guess myself again now darn it...!
