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.

Here is how we voted for Triple Gameweek 35:

    Which option looks better please?

    A) Mane, Greenwood & Vydra
    B) Rashford, Vardy & Smith-Rowe

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

      B for me

  2. Ibralicious
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Have Bruno already. Pick one, please.:

    A) Son + Bowen -> Greenwood + Zaha (2FT) (bench Jota)
    B) Son -> Rashford (1FT) (play Jota)

    Cheers!

    Morning people.

    So who's your differentials?

    El Ghazi, Benteke, and Siggy for me. But I am on BB.

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

      Atm probably zaha, castagne and vardy if they count, salah TC if i stick with him

      1. Mika-eel
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I see you haven't made up your mind on the TC. I want to join you on the Salah cap, but leading my ML by only 13 pointa and no idea what to do.

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

          The thinking is that i reckon salah and bruno get similar mins this gw.

          Mathematically, tcing Salah and him doing well has more upside than vice versa. But im leading my ML by 40 odd points so slighlty less cautious

          1. Mika-eel
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            I hope whatever you decide works out for you. Good luck for the upcoming Gameweek!

    2. kingsingh88
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Thank god someone else said differentials. Ive gone for El Ghazi, Pogba and James Ward Beckham. Also benteke in the event Kane doesn't play.

      1. Mika-eel
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Wanted to swap out Son for Pogba for a hit but thought against it, would want him back next week.

        All the best!

  4. phuang
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    GKP: Mendy, Forster
    DEF: Coady, Rudiger, Targett, Holding, TAA
    MID: Salah, Pereira, Son, Jlingz, Jota
    FWD: Kane, Nacho, Vardy

    0.7 ITB with no chips left

    A: Jota, Pereira, Vardy OUT, Fernandes, Zaha, Brewster IN

    B: Jota, Pereira, Vardy OUT, Greenwood, Zaha, DCL IN

    Neither way, a -8 hit is required to be taken for both choices but which 1 is more viable? Thanks.

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

      I did B
      Mainly because I have to manage my team the following week

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

        I think so too. I will still have to take -4 points hit to bring in a new GKP and DEF depending on the situation with Forster though.

  5. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Guiata
    TAA, AWB, Castagne
    Salah, Bruno,Greenwood, Zaha
    DCL, Iheanacho Vardy

    1.2 itb (could go Vardy to Kane)

    How is this FH team??

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

      Gtg

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

      looks good

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

    Martinez*

    Maguire** Digne* TAA* Castagne*

    Lingard Salah*(TC) Bruno** Zaha*

    Vardy* Nacho*

    Not entirely sure on zaha yet

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

      This would be a -8

  7. Scratch
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Really at a loss as to what to what moves to make this week. Playing bench boost
    2 FTs & £0.3m itb

    Martinez Areola
    Digne, Castagne, Lowton, Rudiger, Vestergaard
    Salah, Bruno, Jota, Lingard, Maddison
    Watkins, Kane, Nacho

    One option Kane & Lowton -> TAA & DCL but Im not keen on ditching Kane, any bright ideas?

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

      Jota --> Greenwood, roll one? Lowton/Rudiger to someone also very good options. Decent team

      1. Utopsis

  8. Sun Jihai

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

          Is it your 8th attacker? If so, ESR and bank the cash

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

    Thank you!

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B gives you more surety.

  15. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    What do we think best use of FH and WC with remaining game weeks?

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

      We think it depends fully on you, your team and strategy. 35-36 probably best weeks.

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

      I'd WC this week, then FH next week.

  16. No Kane No Gain
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Zaha or greenwood for -4?!

    Will be playing aina instead of zaha for gameweek 36 if I went greenwood.

    I’m chasing.

    Answers would be very appreciated!

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

      No

      1. No Kane No Gain
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        No what?!

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

          Oh sorry, I understood you have Zaha and are asking about going Zaha--> Greenwood for -4, so I said no. Out of the two Zaha if you think he is fit. Who are you selling?

          1. No Kane No Gain
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Thanks. Selling gundogan to bench Lingard. Would captain greenwood if I bought him. I’d Captain salah if I went for zaha Instead of greenwood.

            So confused! Keeping me awake lol

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

              I personally think Salah and Greenwood both set for about 180 mins. Greenwood might go up to like 210. I would only agonize about Zaha's fitness tbh, not about missing out on Greenwood for 3 hard fixtures.

  17. user.n
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Son to Rash for this gw only?

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

      If costing you no hits now or future then absolutely, no-brainer.

      1. user.n
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yes, no cost at all

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

      I would. Was 0.1 short for doing the same so went for Greenwood instead.

      With Son's price drop I should be able to swap him back next week

  18. Taegugk Warrior
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    why there is so much love for zaha

    1. No Kane No Gain
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      If fit, the next 3 look juicy with 2 of them being a double!

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Best DGW fixtures

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

      Palace better away from home. Both games away against leaky defences

  19. moment
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Would you play ESR or Lingardinho this week? Leaning to 1 week Jesse.

    1. No Kane No Gain
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Jesse

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

      I'd flip a coin

    3. No Kane No Gain
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      ESR played tonight so he only plays 1 game max. That 1 might be Chelsea away too...

    4. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Lingz

    5. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Lingard

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

      Relegate ESR to the depths of your bench, never to be seen again this season

  20. Taegugk Warrior
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    A. kane to vardy
    B. Lingard to Zaha

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

      No

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

      C? out of the two B for sure but...

  21. Corona is not good 4 U
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Is this bench boost team good to go? Or would you transfer out one?

    Guaita, Martinez
    Konsa, Ward, Coleman, Alexander-Arnold, Castagne
    Fernandes, Greenwood, Salah, Saka, Ward-Prowse
    Vardy, Iheanacho, Watkins

    Thank you!

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

      Any money for Saka upgrade? If no, GTG

      1. Corona is not good 4 U
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Thank you. 0.8 in the bank.

  22. Bruno Commando
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Dias + Raphinha + Philips -> TAA + ESR + Mitchell for -8?

    Rest of BB squad
    Martinez Forster
    Shaw Coady Coleman X X
    Bruno(c) Salah JLingz Jota X
    Kane DCL Nacho

  23. waldo666
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    1 FT and 0.1 ITB

    Had toyed around with potential BB this week but would take a hit or two I reckon so not that keen.

    Question now is, what to do here? Almost considering saving so I have two for next week as I currently have 4 players with blanks.

    Martinez
    TAA Shaw Holding
    Bruno Salah Lingard Greenwood Son
    Watkins Nacho

    (Johnstone Bamford Dallas Coufal)

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

      GTG w/o BB. I think you could BB with just one transfer tbh, but might as well aim for 37/38.

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers mate, the way I'm leaning now, if Leeds weren't off the boil and missing key players I would have been more comfortable with BB this week.

  24. Taegugk Warrior
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    keane or coleman..?

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

      Godfrey or none

  25. champoz
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Free hit for me to chase the league leaders - any thoughts?:

    Guaita
    Areola

    Shaw
    Robertson
    Alexander-Arnold
    Thomas
    Mitchell

    Salah
    Greenwood
    Fernandes
    Zaha
    Smith Rowe

    Iheanacho
    Vardy
    Watkins

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

      3-4-3? GTG though I'd consider Rashford and DCL for Greenwood and Vardy

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

        Yep 3-4-3
        Still tinkering and had them in mind too.

  26. Corona is not good 4 U
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    A) Play Lingard
    B) Lindgard -> Ward-Prowse for free because of the double game week?

    Thank you!

  27. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Rudiger and Neto
    To
    Mitchell and JWP?

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

      It's decent, not groundbreaking

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

      Yes in the abstract (this or nothing).

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

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

    With 1FT left + 3.7 itb should I?

    A) Save so I can field 11 next week
    B) Wood > DCL (+ -4 hit next week)
    C) Rudiger > Maguire (+ -4 hit next week)
    D) Other ideas

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

      B good, D: Digne in defense equally good, B third-best, C-no

  29. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Zaha or Greenwood?

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

      Not much in it. Zaha, but I'd wait as long as possible in case there's fitness news. Never know with him.

    Evenin deadzoners...
    Coady > Maguire sound good?
    2FT's and 0.8 spare.
    Means 5 blanks next week but could then use 2FT's to field 11.

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

    Dallas - Reguillon - Perreira
