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.

    Took a -8 to get this team. Worth it?

    Mendy
    Digne Targett Maguire
    Mount Jota Bruno Salah Greenwood
    Nacho Watkins

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No. Reverse the transfers

    2. Ayew Holding Mee Cork
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      What are you going to do next week when you have 6 BGW players? Take another -4/-8? Don't get sucked into United players. It's essentially a DGW with one fixture being Liverpool.

      1. tbos83
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I know, I was a bit pissed last night and got over-excited at thought of the TGW. Will have to ride out gw36 with 9 players and hope Greenwood nets a hattie...

  2. AC Yew
    • 5 Years

    Morning.
    Son + Pereira----> Greenwood & Zaha worth it for -4?

    No other Man U attack

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

    Son&Kane to Salah&DCL worth take hit?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No

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

        In my opinion definitely

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

      Absolutely.

    3. big_cliff
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I would. I think Salah is more important to get in (if you don't have him) than Bruno this week tbh

    4. Legohair
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Thanks guys

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

      Surely worth.

      I suppose you already have enough ManU players

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

        I have shaw&bruno and i wont get third because i have already 6 blankers next gw

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

    Save the transfer or try to do something?

    Martínez
    TAA, Digne, Shaw
    Salah, Mount, Fernandes, Pereira, Lingard
    Iheanacho, Vardy

    McGill, Bamford, Dallas, Lowton
    1 free transfer, 0.0 million in the bank

  5. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Which 2 to get on FH next to Bruno?

    1. Rashford
    2. Greenwood

    A) Shaw - probably only 2 matches, but more attacking
    B) Maguire - A chance for 3 matches, but not ad attacking as Shaw

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

      Lowest owned from both. No way of telling who will outscore who.

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

      Not looking at Wan Biss? Probably more attacking than Maguire and likely to get all 3 as well

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Great input! Who could play instead of AWB?

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

          Williams came on for him at HT last night.

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

          Brandon WIlliams, doubt he gets Leicester and Liverpool game.

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

        Also Wonder who’s more likely to get subbed in in a possible 3rd match from Shaw, Maguire and AWB

    3. The Red Devil
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Leaning towards Maguire tbh for minutes security
      Greenwood has the form though

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

      2A

    5. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I agree with the above about going awb. There’s no real backup and he has some attacking threat and baps. I’d probably go rashford since he was rested but Greenwood is in form

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

    Boring FH 😛

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

      Triple United, Triple Pool?

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

        As of now, its triple United and double Pool. Waiting for Zaha update.

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

          Zaha can be a great pick if fit. I have gone with El Ghazi as my differential this GW.

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

            Nice, El Ghazi and Benteke are couple of punts I wish I could fit in starting XI

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

          I'd triple Liverpool before United likely

          It's half possible someone does get a TGW but fixtures are really poor and by the looks of last night completely on the beach. There's a serious risk that the ones you pick get Liverpool Leicester.

          Liverpool are guaranteed Southampton.

          1. RamaJama
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Taa, Salah and Robbo then?

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

              Those would be the ones I'd go for.

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

      How is it looking bud?

      I’m on Free hit as well but not seeing many here this morning

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        On FH

  7. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Fofana/Rudiger -> Godfrey

    Should I do it for a hit this week or a hit next week?

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

      Wait for next.

    2. The Red Devil
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Nope

  8. Sid07
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Playing Bench boost

    Thoughts on son + vydra + coady + Mendy to Greenwood + Watkins + digne + guiata (-8)

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

      Should cover the hit

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

    Choose two

    A) Konsa
    B) Mitchell
    C) Rudiger

    Choose one:

    A) Forster
    B) Martinez

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

      AC

      B

    2. artvandelay316
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B, C

      A

    3. Sid07
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      BC
      B

    4. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      BC

      B

    5. jimmyharte
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Ward over Mitchell. Don't get ahead of yourself because Mitchell played vs city. Look at his fixtures prior to that

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

        Don't have Ward. I agree with you somewhat regarding Mitchell but then as a Manager who would I rather play with just 4 games remaining? A player who will leave my club after those 4 games or a young player who will be the future of my club?

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

    Can this Bruno less BB team work out?

    Sanchez | Areola
    TAA Shaw Digne
    Salah Son Saka Lingard
    Kane Vardy Iheanacho
    ¦ Vestergaard Phillips Pereira

    0 ITB

    1. The Red Devil
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Quite decent

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

      It can, not sure it will. Any FTs left?
      Possibility of Vardy rotation/reduced minutes plus the blank in 36 to consider.

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

        No FT's, Vardy out next week as of now to field 11

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

      Going without Bruno is one thing, but going without any United attacker at all in a triple GW is very risky imo.

  11. Agamenmon
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bring in 1 for Dias

    1 Shaw
    2 Digne
    3 Phillips
    4 McGuire

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

      I am going to BB

      1. Sid07
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        1 if you have enough players or plan for next gw. Otherwise 2

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

          This.

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

      2

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

      1

  12. artvandelay316
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Who should I captain?

    Bruno, Salah, Nacho?

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

      Salah think United will be tired

      1. artvandelay316
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I am thinking this too. Tough with three fixtures though, as the thought of missing out on many points is terrifying! haha

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

      Bruno

      1. artvandelay316
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers both

  13. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Forster/Sanchez
    TAA/Shaw/Rudiger/Ayling/Dunk
    Jota/Salah/Bruno/son/lingard
    Kane/Nacho/vydra
    Still unsure about my moves, 2 FT 0.0 ITB FH in 36, so wanna get players with good fixtures in 35&37.reluctant to sell son due to spurs good fixture in 37. Willing to take a hit. Was considering getting digne & Maguire for rudiger & dunk & downgrading lingard to bench fodder

    Thoughts?

  14. WhatWouldYourZlatanSay
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Guaita | Martinez

    TAA | Castagne | Holgate | Konsa | Veltman

    Salah | Bruno | Lingard | Siggy | Greenwood

    Nacho | DCL | Wellbeck

    1. No better time to Bench Boost, right?
    2. I've taken a -4; make it a -8 for Watkins?

    Thanks guys and good luck!

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

      Go for it, BB and Watkins. Looking good for 100+ points (hopefully)

  15. james 101
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    How many games do you have this week in theory?

    By this I mean how many times 90 mins do you have in total?

    Eg Bruno would be worth 3. (Or 6 if captaining).

    Assume all are played just fir this exercise.

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

      If everyone plays every game, 30.

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Crazy huh?!

    2. james 101
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I have a ridiculous 34!

      (Bench boost this week and lots of double / treble players)

      WC next week as didn’t get round to using it before!

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

        Forgot about captain, 33.

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      25

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        34 *

    4. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      27 but it won’t actually be that many

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Still going to be a lot more than 12 though right?

  16. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Forster/Sanchez

    TAA/Shaw/Rudiger/Ayling/Dunk

    Jota/Salah/Bruno/son/lingard

    Kane/Nacho/vydra

    Still unsure about my moves, 2 FT 0.0 ITB FH in 36, so wanna get players with good fixtures in 35&37.reluctant to sell son due to spurs good fixture in 37. Willing to take a hit.
    Was considering getting digne & Maguire for rudiger & dunk & downgrading lingard to bench fodder

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

      Maguire is as likely as anyone to get lot of minutes and Rudiger will be managed ahead of the FA cup final so I'm in favour.

      1. The Red Devil
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Would mean I don't get Greenwood

      2. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Managed? I highly doubt it. Chelsea can’t afford to rest players when they are fighting for top 4

        1. The Red Devil
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          But he has been benched previously too, everyone's been rotated, they have 4 decent CBs

    2. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Son to Greenwood would probably be my move.

      1. The Red Devil
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Would mean no son for 37, spurs seem to be going for it

        1. Bad Kompany
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Villa has played well against most top teams. United fixtures are even better imo

          1. The Red Devil
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            True, but son's home form has been terrific & United are home in 37

  17. He Kane He Saw He Conquered
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Coufal & Son -> Maguire & Zaha -8?

    Thanks

  18. CONNERS
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Morning

    I currently only have Bruno from United - do you think Martinez to Henderson is worth a -4?

    Presumably he's nailed on to play all 3 games?

    (I have Areola as cover for the blank).

  19. timawflowers
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    play creswell or dallas?

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

      Leeds have been poor lately - I'd play Cress.

    2. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Cresswell

  20. Bad Kompany
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Are any of salisu, burn, or diop nailed? Need a cheap defender for 36?

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Anyone??

      1. Big Chris Wood
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I’d say no to all of them. How about Joel Ward?

  21. christo1
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone know who's most likely to play in Everton defence?
    Keane or Holgate or Godfrey?
    Can't afford Digne. Need one cert to bring in

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I don’t think any of them are nailed

    2. Big Chris Wood
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I think Keane plays

      1. christo1
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks.
        Big Chris, that's what I was thinking but I saw he'd not played the last two matches. Why you think Keane plays this week?

        1. Big Chris Wood

          He was back on the bench last week, I would expect him to start this week, he’s their most important CB

    Morning folks, couple of quick questions

    1) If you had a luxury ft, is it worth doing Maddison >> Jota or Zaha? The other alternate is doing veltman (sub) >> coufal (sub) who i will in 37/38

    2) Would you prefer DCL (-4) or any of maddison/jota/zaha?

      I’m playing all 4 !
      Need differential to win it or don’t!

      2 for me

    On BB this week.

    Schmeichel guaita

    Regulion ward alioski digne christensen

    Bruno greenwood lingard son siggy

    Dcl nacho. Kane

    Im going to change regulion to Maguire or AWB.

    I ideally would want Salah in, but to do this I need to get rid of Kane and Son for a minus 8. Is it worth it and who would I get as a forward?Benkeke? Haha

    Any other advice/suggestions (keep Kane and put a cheaper midfielder in for Son?) or just stick with Son and Kane?

    I would lose .4 off Kane's value as well.

    Want as many dgw players as possible (obviously) without being too short next week.

    Should i put my TC on Bruno? I see no other week to use it now and can't see anyone more effective other than maybe greenwood?

    1. Big Chris Wood
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I would or even on salah if you have him.

    2. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yes. I’d definitely go Bruno(tc)

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

      Pretty easy decision imo.

    4. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Go for it

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

      Surely, I would say a minimum of 6*3 = 18 pts already in the bag imo

  25. Big Chris Wood

    Who would you play out of Mitchell and Lingard this week? Currently on Mitchell...

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Will he start both matches ?

      1. Big Chris Wood
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Maybe not but I fancy him to start the first one against SHU

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          I'd still edge towards lingard..

        2. Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Mitchell more likely to be rested against weak attacking teams like SHU unfortunately

    2. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      That’s a tough one. If I knew he’d start both i would but since he’s a rotation risk is go JLingz. Antonio and cresswell being back should help

    3. Big Chris Wood
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Thanks guys, now edging to Lingard

  26. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Advice needed please

    A coady and son ( who both have nice fixtures) for tas and greenwood
    B son to greenwood
    C coady to Coleman
    S save transfer to have 2fts gw36 ( I currently could fill 11 with 1 ft for 36 if raphinha is fit)

    Thanks and gl !

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A is for a hit by the way

  27. Forlorn Hope
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Currently have Leno in goal, but not sure he starts two games. Is either Pickford or Guaita a better option until the end of the season.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      IF not other issues Pickford 100%

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Leno looks like the cup keeper

  28. Ian Davis
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Gundogan out to?:

    A) Zaha
    B) JWP
    C) Jota

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A

  29. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Mendy
    Maguire Fofana Targett TAA
    Salah Jota Bruno Son
    Nacho Kane

    Forster Lingard Veltman Brewster

    Have an FT, worth holding it to get 11 out next week?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Nothing to change there anyway so yes

  30. Londongeezaa
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    TC Bruno or Salah?

    Can’t decide.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Bruno.
