Scout Picks

Triple Gameweek 35 Scout Picks features three Man United assets

A Manchester United triple-up forms the spine of our Triple Gameweek 35 Scout Picks.

The Red Devils have three fixtures between Sunday and Thursday, so we have included three of their best assets accordingly.

Meanwhile, Liverpool, Leicester and Crystal Palace have each supplied two players to the best XI for Triple Gameweek 35.

As ever, we line up in the 3-4-3 formation and come in at £82.6m, £0.4m inside our £83.0m budget.

Goalkeeper

Vicente Guaita (£4.8m) makes a rare appearance in the Scout Picks off the back of Crystal Palace’s appealing pair of Triple Gameweek 35 fixtures. They face the division’s lowest scorers in Sheffield United, who are in the bottom four for shots inside the box alongside Southampton over the last six matches.

Defenders

Who has the best and worst FPL fixtures for the Run-In?

Saints also face Liverpool, arguably boosting Trent Alexander-Arnold‘s (£7.6m) defensive credentials while a Thursday-night meeting with Manchester United is unlikely to yield many goals based on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s usual tactics in the bigger matches. Meanwhile, during his last six, no Premier League defender has created more big chances than Alexander-Arnold.

Timothy Castagne (£5.8m) has recently become a key component of Leicester’s attack considering, among the Foxes’ players, only their centre-forwards and Ricardo Pereira have touched the ball in the box more often than him over the last six Gameweeks. The Belgian is, of course, much more likely to start twice in Triple Gameweek 35 and has 22 points in his last three outings.

Harry Maguire (£5.5m) is the most nailed-on Manchester United defender for Triple Gameweek 35. Since the Red Devils resumed European competitions, the centre-back has played every available Premier League minute from Gameweek 24 to Gameweek 34. Solskjaer’s men have conceded just three goals across their last six, the joint-best in the Premier League.

Midfielders

No top-flight player has produced more shots in the box than Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) over the last six matches, suggesting he will get plenty of opportunities against Southampton and even Manchester United in Triple Gameweek 35. Saints are inside the division’s bottom three for big chances conceded over the same period while the Red Devils could be suffering with fatigue by the time they host Liverpool on Thursday, having already played two games in three days before that.

Three matches for Bruno Fernandes (£11.5m) in Triple Gameweek 35 make it very hard to look past the premium midfielder in the Scout Picks. While there are doubts that he will start three times this round, the Red Devils do have the luxury of a four-goal lead against Roma in the semi-finals of the Europa League as well as no fixture in Blank Gameweek 36. Meanwhile, Fernandes has started every league match since Manchester United’s European campaign resumed in February and, over the last six, is top among all midfielders for expected goal involvement (xGI).

Mason Greenwood‘s (£7.2m) versatility and ability to do damage from the bench has helped him get into the Triple Gameweek 35 Scout Picks. Over the last six matches, he is top among all colleagues for shots in the box, shots on target and goals scored.

Wilfried Zaha (£7.2m) has supplied two attacking returns in his last four starts since coming back from injury. Crystal Palace’s next two opponents, Sheffield United and Southampton, are two of the three worst sides for conceding big chances in the last six.

Forwards

Since Gameweek 29, no Premier League player has been afforded more big chances than Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.5m). Meanwhile, West Ham and Aston Villa combine for a total of zero clean sheets over their last six matches.

Ollie Watkins (£6.5m) has produced either a goal or assist in each of his past five Premier League appearances, making him a useful addition for the Triple Gameweek 35 Scout Picks.

Kelechi Iheanacho (£6.3m) has become a virtual auto-include in the Scout Picks in recent weeks. Since Gameweek 24, he has notched up nine goals and two assists, suggesting he can still offer something against Newcastle and Manchester United in Triple Gameweek 35.

Substitutes

  • Edouard Mendy (£5.2m)
  • Lucas Digne (£6.1m)
  • Tyrick Mitchell (£3.8m)
  • Anwar El Ghazi (£5.2m)

THE CAPTAIN

Who are the best captain options for FPL Gameweek 36+?

We choose the Scout Picks captain using a four-way vote between our Scout Squad pundits.

    Best use of a -4 for BB..

    McCarthy & Struijk out..

    A Guaita & Soton def or other 4.8
    B Forster & Maguire

    It would be just my luck McCarthy keeps his place if I do B!

      1. Ohh1454
        • 6 Years

        1. TheDragon
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Watkins, Mane, Jota, Robertson, Auba all worth considering

          1. Ohh1454
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Maybe laca considering he didn’t start tonight ?

  5. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    *repost*
    Kane -> DCL for -4?

    Im chasing in ML and will need to take a hit next GW to field 11 regardless of this switch.

    1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      keep kane

      1. MIGHTY JOE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers

  6. Denis Tueart on the wing
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Rashford or Greenwood for TGW

  7. jason_ni
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Playing the fh.

    Would you rather have
    A) Bale for single vs Leeds
    B) Kane for single vs Leeds
    C) Neither and load up on dbl alternatives.

    1. Ohh1454
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      C

    2. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      C but I've got him on the bench with Son for the DGW

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

        I had kane and son before activating the fh, so I just know for sure they will probably have a bonanza of i go with no spurs.

    3. A. PRISE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      C for me

    4. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I’m very much in the C camp on my FH

  8. afsr
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Greenwood or Cavani for GW35?

    1. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Greenwood

    2. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Greenwood. But wouldn’t be surprised to see them get similar minutes. Cavani is a good option I think who’s form is bubbling up nicely

      1. Cantona's Kung Fu Kick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I think Rash/Cavani/Greenwood will all split the minutes between the 3 games, but not play an entire 90 in 1 single game

  9. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Down to my last defender choice on WC:

    A) 11 DGW players Coufal > Coleman (to end of season)
    B) 10 DGW players stick with Coufal who I already have

    WC Defence:
    Guaita/Forster
    TAA, Maguire, Dallas, Mitchell
    0.5m itb

  10. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Help please...

    Mendy
    TAA Shaw Rudiger
    Salah Fernandes Greenwood JWP Lingard
    Kane Iheanacho DCL

    Bench Boost = Forster Holding Lingard Kilman

    Kilman >> 4.9 budget:

    1. Coleman (whu, avl, SHU)
    2. Ward (shu, sou, AVL)
    3. Phillips (SOU, mun, wba)

    Thanks all.

  11. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years

    Telles OG

  12. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Mata on for Bruno after 83 minutes.

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Nice rest Ole. Cheers.

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

      So Greenwood plays the 90.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        So greenwood 2 games likely but which 2?

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

    Bruno gets 7 minute rest ...YYYYYEEEEEESSSSSSSSS

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

    I’m level with my rival at the top, he has shaw, should I go along with him and get shaw to level us out or should I go for Maguire in the hope he plays 3 games and maybe score more?

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

      Shaw

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

    Telles is utterly useless. I'm starting to think Shaw is safe as houses to start 3...

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

      His biggest contribution has been to light the fire under Shaw to step up his game.

    2. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He’s in my FH side for sure after seeing Telles tonight.

      Think Shaw a good shout for all 3 - but might only play 45 v Leic if Ole can rest him

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Does the league matter more than keeping Shaw fit? The league is pretty much over, might as well play reserves whenever necessary. Not worth increasing the risk of injuries before the final.

      1. thegaffer82
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        If Telles wasn’t such a liability, then I’m sure he’d manage his minutes. But he’s awful. He’ll get torn apart by Pool &/or Leic especially

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Could always play Brandon Williams there...

          1. Hy liverpool
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Bisaka has a replacement?

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

    Kane to Cavani?

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

      No

    2. ‘Tis the Season
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Thinking the same. How many do you reckon he starts

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

    Keep Son or Son > Greenwood?

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

      Zaha probably better option no

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

        Zaha will make you promises ... but all he will give you is a trip to A&E after he punches you in the balls then rips your heart out and feeds it to the pigeons in front of you.

      2. ‘Tis the Season
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Lol. No

  18. iL PiStOlErO
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

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

    2ft, 0 itb

    Coady+Raphinha+Kane to Maguire+Zaha+Cavani for -4?

    Use TC on Bruno or someone else?

  19. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    I hate Arteta. Actually hate him.

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

      Wow

  20. Je suis le chat
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    I love looking at stats on whoscored, though take the weights at a pinch of salt. No way Big boned Luke Shaw is only 75kg at 1.85m.

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

      He cant be 185.

      1. Je suis le chat
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        He's so wide he looks short. If I was Gatland, I'd have him as centre with Aki vs the South Africans.

  21. NotsoSpursy
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Peeps who are selling Son for Zaha or Greenwood - are you planning on getting Son back for gw37?

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I was going to get back straight away for GW36!

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

      Straight back for Bruno, yes

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

    Recommended Palace defender?

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

      If your thinking a defender from Pslace, your best bet is one of the corgis

  23. damiang2233
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on Jota starting this week?

    1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      slim but can get something from sub

      1. damiang2233
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Worth swapping him out?

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

          No don't sell

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

    How does this BB team look?

    Martinez
    TAA Digne Shaw
    Salah Bruno Jota Greenwood
    DCL Nacho Watkins
    (Guaita Rudiger Lingard Coufal)

    Will sell Bruno & Nacho for Kane/Aguero & Mahrez/Foden/Raph in BGW36 to give me 11 starters.

  25. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Wood to DCL?

  26. For Fuchs Sake
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone getting Pogba in?

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah probably. Under the radar o think

    2. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Big nope

  27. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Is it crazy not having Bruno and just Greenwood instead?

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Greenwood may not play all games, Bruno likely to

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      That was also my plan. I don't think so. Bruno is off form anyway.

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        off form, did you see him against Roma over both ties?

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

          Have you seen Roma's defence? It is rubbish

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

      It's fine if you are chasing. Risky, but may pay off.

  28. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    90mins for Greenwood. Still a better pick than Zaha?

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

      This has tilted it towards Zaha.

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

      Zaha will break your heart. Zaha is the only thing in this world that can break Chuck Norris’s heart.

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

        That's true.. All attacking Crystal Palace assets including Zaha, Benteke and Ayew are not predictable. Only their defence assets over the years have paid off when on form

  29. Monster Muppets
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    FPLstatistics have been horrible at predicting lately.
    What site is the most updated for estimated changes?

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      FFFix

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

      Fantasyfootballfix. .... I find this more accurate.

    Paddy Power on twitter: "This is genuinely amazing from Arsenal, they seem to have no awareness of the fact that they need to score a goal." 😆

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I would have swore on my grannies life that arsenal would lose the tie, deliciously spursy of them!
