Who is the best FPL captain for Triple Gameweek 35?

809 Comments
Share

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.

    Best GK alongside Martinez for BB?

    A) Schmeichel (NEW, mun)
    B) Mendy (mci, ARS)
    C) Guaita (shu, sou)

    Have Rudiger so not sure about a double up on Chelsea but their defence is elite.
    Palace have good fixtures but worst stats for defence and nothing to play for.
    Schmeichel could be up against a rotated United team & NEW which looks promising.

        I don't think he's safe at all. Remember that if he plays the first game, he's likely to get rested the 2nd or 3rd. And he's getting over injury.

        The only thing we know is that he'll likely play vs Villa.

    Thoughts on this move? Would give me 6 doubles and 2 triples this week, and then just 4 blanks next week with the plan to shift Iheanacho anyway.

    Martinez (Leno)
    Digne Phillips Rudiger (Coufal Dunk)
    Brun(o) Salah Jota Son Lingard
    Kane Iheanacho (Vydra)

    Leno & Rudiger > Ryan & Maguire

    Would you sell Kane or Son for an Everton or Villa player? For -4.

    TAA Rudiger Maguire Holgate
    Bruno Salah Jota *Son

    Will Martial be fit for the TGW? Wondering whether to do:
    A) Vardy to Cavani/Martial
    B) Maddison to Greenwood

      B. Vardy will likely outscore Maddison, Greenwood more guaranteed of minutes than other 2.

    Will Salah play more minutes in two matches than Bruno does in three? Captaincy decision...

      I’d say about the same tbh...so I guess it depends on your mini leagues who you choose etc or who you think will score more

      i'm not huge on the leicester attacking double up - or castagne for that matter.

      might go with Robbo over Castagne and Guaita in goals.
      Vardy > DCL.
