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.

Because we use Fantasy Football Scout data so heavily in this process, the skipper we choose each Gameweek is known only to those with a valid Fantasy Football Scout subscription and revealed to the public only when the deadline has passed.

    Sign Mount or Havertz for the double?

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

      Neither tbh but if I had to choose mount

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

      Nope

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

      Cheers guys. I’ll avoid so.

  2. Tinfoil Deathstar
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Dan Burn to Nat Phillips or Joel Ward?

    I already own Trent so would be double up on Liv defence.

    1. Jimbo-Jones
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Love how dull this transfer is.

      1. Tinfoil Deathstar
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Ha. Already done Son to Greenwood. Want to leave enough to get Son back next week and rest of team is in pretty good shape. I own Veltman as well so don’t want the Brighton double up given their fixtures.

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

      I’d probably go ward

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

      Ward

  3. Nemanja Vidic
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Some advice please!

    2FT 0.2 ITB

    Mendy Forster
    TAA Rudiger Holding Regulion* Coady*
    Salah Madders Jota Son* Lingard*
    Nacho Watkins Kane*

    a) Son Lingard - Bruno Riedewald
    b) Son Kane - Bruno Cavani
    c) Regulion Lingard - Lindelof Greenwood
    d) Somethin else

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

      C looks good

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

    Expecting Mane to start both games in 35?

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

      Would think so, yes

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

    Would you change anything?
    On FH, money no problem

    Guaita
    TAA, Castagne, Shaw
    Salah, Bruno, Greenwood, Zaha
    Nacho, Vardy, DCL
    (Forster, Ward, Smith-Rowe, KWP)

    Cheers!

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

      Digne over Castagne for me personally. Everton defence pretty strong away from home

    2. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Pretty similar. Nice team!

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

      KWP first bench (for what it is worth)

    4. brixtonBob
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I’m not convinced by Zaha. Both because of his injury worry and his stats.

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

        Who would you rather have?

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

          JWP ?

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

            good shout. thanks brother

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

      Cheers bruhs.
      Like Castagne's new role in midfield, but it's close with Digne - I agree

    6. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I think if you look back at Guitas points in the last 6 games, there is nothing to suggest he is going to haul. I’d go Schmiechel.

  6. Kryptonite666
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    How would you rate this FH team ? 53 points behind ML so chasing dreams

    Guiata
    TAA Shaw Castagne
    Salah Mane Fernandes Greenwood Zaha
    Iheanacho DCL

    ML leader already has Salah, TAA, Fernandes and might get Greenwood!

    Thinking of going Greenwood (c).

    Any other differentials come to mind ?

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

      I like it 😉
      Mane the biggest punt in there imo

    2. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Mane has looked low on confidence all season. Not for me.

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

    So you all think Greenwood will get more than 4 points more than Zaha and Calvert Lewin?

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

      Nope

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

    Some yes or no quickies 1, spurs either blank or only score 1 v leeds? 2, play Rüdiger over holding? 3, captain Bruno over Salah ? Thanks

    1. Ruudy Van
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      1) who knows
      2) I’d say so
      3) chasing go Salah

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

        Thanks I am leading my ML so not chasing so maybe Bruno safer option

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

      1. Yes
      2. Yes
      3. Yes

  9. Atwood
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Any ideas what to do here folks?
    2FT's and 0.8 spare.
    2 United players this week. 4 blanks in total next week.

    Martinez
    Rudiger - Shaw - Coady
    Salah - Bruno - Lingard - Son
    Kane - Watkins - Iheanacho

    Dallas - Reguillon - Perreira

    1. Ruudy Van
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Coady to Everton Def. keep 2nd transfer

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

        Was thinking maybe Rudiger, even though he has a double? Since he has the blank next week. Like the Everton def shout though.

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

      I am in a similar pickle but with 5 blanks and Forster in GW36.

      I have 2 FTs and £0m ITB. I am thinking Son to Greenwood only so that I can make 3 transfers to have a full starting XI in GW 36.

      Mendy Forster
      Holding Rudiger TAA Coady Coufal
      Salah Fernandes Lingard Son Jota
      Kane Nacho Vydra

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

    Hey guys any thoughts?
    2 ft this week, I own Bruno

    A. Jota and Raphinha to greenwood and jwp

    B. Regulion and raphinha to maguire and jwp

    C. Regulion and Jota to greenwood and maguire

    A and b leave me 10 players for gw36 (and 1 ft) c leaves me with 9 players and 1 ft.

    Cheers

    1. Ruudy Van
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B) Selling Jota seems wrong

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

        What's he done recently? Not convinced he's a starter personally.

  11. Ruudy Van
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Looking at GW 35 & beyond.
    The latter on each only for 36 plus.

    A) son & Mitchell (benched 35)
    B) Siggy & Dallas -4 (benched 35)

    Security of games says b) guaranteed 4 games in 2. A) guaranteed 2 maybe 3.

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

      I prefer A

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

    Perreira* ➡ Maguire**?
    Perreira* ➡ Shaw**?
    What would your bench order be?

    Sanchez
    TAA* Robertson* Castagne* Targett*
    Bruno** Greenwood** Jota* ESR*
    Benteke* Iheanacho*

    Meslier | Bale, Kane, Perreira*

    2FT. 0.2ITB. 0 chips
    *DGW
    **TGW

  13. stu92
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Who is better asset until end of season - not just this week?

    Shaw or Maguire?

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

      I'd say Shaw

  14. Blue Moon Rising
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Maguire to rise tonight?

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

      doubt it

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

    Worth playing BB chip when subs are only:
    Areola, Reguillon, Cresswell, and Adams.

    Not sure if it'll get better from here...

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

      Weak. Try and build for decent bench upto 38 even.

  16. OneDennisBergkamp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    anyone going for Dean Henderson?

  17. Twisted Melon
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Maguire or Shaw?

  18. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Leno | Forster
    Rudiger TAA Castagne Veltman Coady
    Son Salah Greenwood Jota Lingard
    Kane DCL Iheannacho

    Down to 2 choices I think:

    2.1m ITB 1FT

    1. Son > Bruno (c)
    2. Rudiger > Digne (captain Greenwood/Salah)

    Option 2 gives me a much nicer team in GW36 and I always fancy defenders in a DGW... or am I overthinking not going Son > Bruno considering I can do it with 0.1 ITB?

    Anything I’m missing? Thoughts?

    Additional question:

    Would you start Leno or Forster?

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      2 if chasing. 1 if not

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I’m 59K so does that count as chasing or not?

        1. Neves say Neves
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          thats your call man. I was alluding to minileagues howeber

          1. AYLD28
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Ah okay gotcha, no I’m top in all of mine.

  19. Neves say Neves
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    how likely is holding to play both games?

    1. Better Call Raul
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Depends if Luiz is fit but he seems to be the only one who can play RCB at the moment

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

    Seriously though what do I do please help me

    Mendy Forster
    TAA Diop Fofana Rudiger Shaw
    Salah Son Lingard Jota 4.1
    Kane Vardy Nacho

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      how many ft and any money itb fella?

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

        No ft and 0.2 itb

        1. Neves say Neves
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          save

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

            Really? No Bruno or Greenwood?

  21. Better Call Raul
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Forgetting about GW36 and onwards what scores most this gameweek ?

    A) Kane (lee)
    B) DCL (whu,avl) -4
    C) Watkins (MUN,EVE) -4
    D) Vardy (NEW,mun) -4

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B for me

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

      D

    3. Igz08
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I’d fancy DCL

  22. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Hey guys. 1FT 0.3 ITB here - what looks best? No chips left 🙂

    A) Vydra Son Coady to DCL Greenwood Coufal/other 4.8 (-8)
    B) Vydra Son to Watkins Greenwood (or Zaha/someone else) (-4)
    C) Vydra Lingard to DCL JWP (-4)

    Martinez (Forster)
    TAA Shaw Rudiger (Coady Johnson)
    Bruno(c) Salah Son Jota Lingard
    Kane Iheanacho (Vydra)

    Sadly the defender move is needed to find 0.1 in A... Lingard would be benched in A/B

    1. School of Poch
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B probably. Would appreciate some thoughts on mine below

  23. Ady87
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    On FH, to go with Salah, Bruno, Greenwood.

    A) Auba Mount
    B) Mane JWP

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

      B out of those two

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

      B but without JWP. Prefer El Ghazi instead as he can actually score away from the pen spot.

  24. GinjaWhinja
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    On free hit, 1 week punt.
    A. Vardy or B. Mane as a differential heavy?

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

      A

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

    Mendy
    Holding Shaw Trent
    Salah Bruno Jwp Jota
    Nacho Vardy Watkins.

    Son Veltman Coady

    Good to go?

  26. School of Poch
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Would appreciate any suggestions on how to use FT here?

    A: Son Davis > Greenwood Watkins/Bamford/Antonio
    B: Son > Greenwood/Rashford/Zaha (save a FT to prepare better for the blank next week)
    C: Son Lingard > Greenwood Zaha
    D: Something else? Open to suggestions

    Mendy
    Shaw TAA Holding
    Bruno Salah Siggy Son Lingard
    Kane Nacho

    Forster Coady Veltman Davis

    2FT 0.0ITB

    1. Top Lad Dakes.

      A

  27. VaVaVoom14
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    How’s this looking for my bench boost- played wildcard last week.

    Guita Martinez
    Azpilicueta James Digne Shaw Castagne
    Maddison Bruno(c) Greenwood Saka Zaha
    Kane Ieanacho Calvert

    Have 1 free transfer and free hit next week aswell so I may aswell use the transfer. Appreciate any advice on improvements

    1. Igz08
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Saka -> JWP perhaps ? Otherwise looks good

    2. Jimbo-Jones
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No pool players in a DGW is scary.

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

    Who would you play, Kane or Madders

    1. Igz08
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      You can’t be serious ?

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

        I’ve got DGW and TGW coming out of my ears. Next GW going to be a big problem. Even thinking Madders to Jota to get one more playing next week.

  29. Igz08
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Right-o,

    Son, Davis, Rudi -> Zaha, DCL, Ayling -8

    Now to decide on Martinez/Forster

  30. Kryptonite666
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Cavani or Zaha ?
