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.

    Advice needed. 2FT's. £0.2 ITB.

    Emi
    TAA Shaw Regs
    Salah Bruno Son JLingz
    Wood Kane Nacho

    Subs: Fabri, Raphinha, Veltman, Burn

    Thinking of going Son -> Greenwood and Burn -> Nat Phillips with the two FT's. Would likely play Phillips over Regs in starting XI. That would give me £2.4 ITB to bring back Son next week with my FT. Good moves, or any other suggestions?

    Would you bench Kane for Maguire -4?

    The -4 doesn't hit this week. It hits next week when I'll need to take hits to field 11.

    1. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No

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

      Not my way to hope CB to outscore main striker with penalty duty.

      But it's 3 games vs 1 game. Umm..

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

      As a long suffering Maguire owner I’ll do you a favour

      He is an absolute FPL disaster zone, will either concede, or if he manages a clean sheet, will get booked to ensure no baps. He will go up for every set piece & do F All, and when he finally does score it will be disallowed wrongly

      Most booked player in the league & has had an absolute explosion of yellow cards in the last 6-8 weeks, he genuinely struggles to handle premier league forwards in a back 4

      Nightmare of a player

      I hate him so much

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        So it's a maybe? 😛

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

        *in fact - I’d nearly put money on him being sent off this GW

        He already struggles in a normal schedule - 3 games in 5 days will be too much for him & he’ll do something stupid out of tiredness or slowness & then whinge at the referee for Red carding him

        Stay away!

        1. Eh, just one more thing ...
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          I’m still not sure what your final answer is LOL. The man spends more time on his arse than contributing to the team.

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

          Really like your sharing on Maguire. It completely push me to Shaw even there is some rotation risk.

    4. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No

  3. Pedaso Pirates
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Thinking Coady, Son and Vydra out for Maguire, Mount and Watkins (-4)

    My team would then be :
    Mendy
    TAA, Holding, Maguire
    Salah, Fernandez, Salah, Mount
    Kane, Iheanacho, Watkins

    0 ITB

    Yes/No/or? Thanks...

    1. niaz1982
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Salah and Salah??

      Yes from me....

  4. OLD Rafiki
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    ole has a very clear winning road today without Bruno but what does he do, Desperately exhaust Bruno ffs!!!

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He could do what he did last time he had a huge lead. Start Bruno but take him off at half time.

      1. OLD Rafiki
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Anything can happen before halftime, he could be injured.

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

      i really don't get people surprised that Ole chose his strongest team after a full week off - in a european semi-final, when top 4 in the league is effectively guaranteed.

    3. Old Bull
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He has form in this. Remember last season when he was too scared to rest Rashford when he was playing well. He didn’t look right and ended up getting injured. He plays his best players to death because he scared to rest them. Bruno could have benefited from not playing a game.

  5. balint84
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    So Button, Rudiger, Dunk and Andersen to
    Pickford, Lindelof, Ward and Kabak is the right move for-8? Too much?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Is that for a BB? Seems like some low impact moves there.

      1. balint84
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Bb and 2ft, 0.5 itb
        Which one is not necessary? Save Dunk? Is Ward a trap? Lindelof plays only once?

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

      this is like the ultimate D-list movie cast

  6. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    COYG!

  7. Blanka
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Is Henderson nailed in the sticks for united for all 3, do we think?

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I’d think David gets one

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Most likely of all players to get 3. But I don't think anyone will get all 3.

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

      I think it's 90% certain that he starts all 3. Maybe I could be wrong but frequent games actually help goal keepers. Physical fatigue is normally not an issue and if you get into that zone, the muscle memory and the focus gets only better.

  8. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Which 2 to play:

    A) Konsa
    B) Rudiger
    C) Mitchell

    If A is included then which GK:

    A) Martinez
    B) Forster

    1. Johnny Leghorn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A and C and Forster

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

    Who scores more this GW?

    A) Vardy + Robbo

    B) Mane + Castagne

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

    2. balint84
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A

  10. Daghe Munegu
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Vardy Vydra to DCL Watkins -4?

    Yes or no ?

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

    So Greenwood, Shaw and Bruno, all start. So much for TGW clues 😆

    1. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yes, most unhelpful LOL

    2. OLD Rafiki
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Not really

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

    It may end up being a DGW after all for United. I’m hoping the protesters stay outside the stadium for upcoming Utd-Pool rematch

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

    Utd need to wise up here or a Bruno will be getting 90

    1. OLD Rafiki
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Ignorance is running that so called united team.

  14. Netters2018
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Taa or digne for rest of season?

    1. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      TAA

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      TAA

    3. OLD Rafiki
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Roll with the fixtures mate, don't underestimate.....

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Both have decent fixtures.

    4. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      TAA

  15. The 12th Man

    Lloris, Kane,Lingard,Veltman

    1. OLD Rafiki
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Looks fine to me

  16. Netters2018
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone ditching bruno after this gw? Blank 36 fulham and then likely rested in 38 with europa league final 3 days later?

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Maybe.
      Shaw > Dallas on the cards first.

    2. 272MK
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Probably

  17. donbagino
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    a) Lingard --> Greenwood
    b) Gundo --> Greenwood and Dallas -->4,6 def (maybe N. Philips? Holding? CP def?) for a hit

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

    Cavani just can’t help himself kicking out lol

    Has such a naughty streak in him, even at that age

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He comes from Uraguay.

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

        They were so blessed to have him & Suarez at the same time

        What a pair

        1. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Very talented, streetwise too and a little rough at times.

  19. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Rashford, Greenwood, Shaw good enough?

    Getting Bruno into my team unbalances it a bit

    1. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I think so.

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

    Jesus that’s a shocker from AWB

  21. Old Bull
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Greenwood or Jota?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Easy Greenwood.

      1. Old Bull
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Pools remaining fixtures looking good

  22. Ch0udini
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Mendy (Forster)
    TAA Fofana Holding (Coady Reguillon)
    Bruno Salah Jota Son ESR
    Vardy Nacho (Welbeck)

    2FT 1.3 ITB

    Is Fofana,ESR, Vardy -> Maguire, Zaha, DCL (-4) any good?

  23. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    D'oh!

  24. Oggle22
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Playing bench boost this week

    Leno
    TAA Holding Coady
    Salah(c) Son Jota Jlingz
    Kane Nacho Vardy

    Forster Saka Amerty Mitchell

    Sacrifice Kane or Vardy for cash to make improvements elsewhere

  25. Bobby's Teeth
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Why is there such a massive consensus building for Bruno's captaincy? Trying to understand this as this captaincy decision could be massive:

    1. He will start 2 out of 3, no chance he plays all three - at max he gets around 200mins across the 3 games (this is the absolute max I would expect, realistically I expect him to play 160-180mins)

    2. His form is nothing to speak of over the last few games in the PL - lot of players who do have DGWs and would play equivalent amount of mins have fared far better.

    Is anybody else mulling over this? Would love to hear the community's thoughts.

    1. las90855
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He could explode at any time by now. We'll never know. I don't have him anyway. Fingers crossed.

  26. Bobby's Teeth
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Hi legends,

    Jota vs Zaha vs JWP? Help in picking 1 please.

  27. las90855
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    My team for TGW35

    Allison,
    TAA, Digne, Shaw
    Mane, Rashford(c), Maddison, Lingard
    Kane, Watkins, Iheanacho

    (Forster, ESR, Dallas, Amartey)

    How does it look? Good to go?

  28. Newsman70
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    On a bench boost with this team: No money and 1 FT Leading mini league by 46 points.

    Martinez Forster
    TAA AWB Holgate Castagne Ward
    Salah Zaha Sigurdsson Lingard Pereira
    Kane Vardy Iheanacho

    GTG or
    A Vardy and Sigurdsson to C Adams and Bruno (then C to block my opponent)
    B Castagne to MaGuire and Pereira to JWP
    C Pereira and Kane to Bruno and Benteke (Kane out no..)

    All for -4?

    I have 30 games from my players potentially and my closest rival has 2FT and my opponent has 28 if he C Bruno and all the United players play 3 (????)


    Thanks for any thoughts!

  29. PortisRed

    Bench one of:

    A) Konsa
    B) Rudiger

  30. Bobby's Teeth
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Just for this GW (I am on FH) - please help choose one:

    1. Vardy (already have Nacho)
    2. DCL
