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.

    Good morning,

    Good news: I’m ranked 150th

    Bad news: I don’t own Salah.

    The only way I can get him this week is if I sell Kane and take a -4. (Maddison and Kane to Salah and Watkins)

    Or I could get him for Fernandes next week.

    Can I really risk going without him this week?

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Probably sideways, I’d roll without

    2. Steve McCroskey
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      With a rank of 150 we should be asking you for advice! Amazing rank.

      I tend to err on the side of caution with transfers and avoid hits where possible, so I would personally wouldn't do a hit for him. I expect the LIV MUN game to be a low scoring affair and I think you can ride out the SOT game without any serious damage.

      1. Jars458
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Nice to know I am only 40 points outside the top 156

    3. Garth Marenghi
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I think I would take the hit for Salah. He still has a large ownership, good to have for the rest of the season, there's the chance he goes off..I think it's worth the gamble. But you're the one at 150 not me!

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

      Thanks guys.

      I’m now looking at Semedo, Maddison, Bruno to Digne, JWP, Salah

      Semedo to Digne this week, Bruno to Salah next week.

      Maddison to JWP this week or next depending on who I prefer and Leicester leaked line up.

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

      I'd get him

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

    Hi legends,

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

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

      Have you compared them all in the members area. That should help you choose

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

        Tried, JWP clearly over Zaha but Zaha's fixtures are as good as you get

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      JWP

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

    Which combo you think will score more this gw?

    A) Vardy, Rashford, Patricio
    B) DCL, Bruno, Guaita (-4)

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

      B

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

      Close, but b

    3. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Tough...
      probably have to go with B but I love Vardy and rash this week

  4. b91jh
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Eze or JWP? Will play either of him for 35 and 36 only.

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

      Eze

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

      JWP.

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

      Jwp

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

      JWP

    5. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      The one who scores points

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

    Coady + Wood —> Mitchell + DCL

    For free. Yes or no?

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      meh. Is mitchell nailed? Antonio and ward is better

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

        Antonio has a single gw, would rather hold Wood. Ward is no more nailed than Mitchell

        1. Garth Marenghi
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Would still rather have antonio over dcl. One is dangerous the other relies on luck. I would keep Wood then.

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

            Luck? That’s utter nonsense. I’ll still bring in Antonio next week for Nacho anyway

            1. Garth Marenghi
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              I don't think dcl is that great a forward, he's just very athletic. So great for headers, that's about it.

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

      Do it, need to move the funds to the attack for the run in

    3. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Need to start Mitchell?

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

        On BB this week

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Hmm probably ok then

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

    BB team G2G or should I be taking a hit?

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

    0 ITB

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

      Keep

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

    Worth downgrading anywhere by 1.1m to afford Watkins -> DCL on this FH?

    Guaita
    Trent, Robbo, Shaw
    Bruno, Salah, Greenwood, Zaha
    Vardy, Nacho, Watkins

    Button, ESR, Mitchell, Dunne
    Bank 0.1m

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

      Robbo to Digne or Castagne?

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

      I would not have Leicester double attack and pick DCL instead of Vardy.

    3. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Stick

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

    Good morning!

    So Which conclusions do we draw after last night’s manu match, other than Rashford probably will start 2 of the 3 matches?

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

      Almost everyone should start 2 of the 3 matches. Consider it as a DGW and plan accordingly.

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

        DGW + blank!

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

          Yes. I am going with just 1.

      2. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Good plan. Reason why I’m going Salah (C) over Greenwood.

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

          I think I will go with Salah too.

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

      The TC hype is over the top. No fantasy player we own will play all three games and the match ups are not the best. Not to mention that the players will be tired and have a blank in GW36.
      Have Greenwood and Shaw and that is it. Fingers crossed.

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

        Bruno will play all 3 no doubt

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          It anyone does, it’ll be him

        2. jaguar shark
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          4 games in 8 days??

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

      Cheers, on FH, only Bruno in my real team and able to field 12 GW 36, before using FT.

      Still not decided Which manu to go for.

      Maby cs is more likely than attacking points, therefore maby Shaw + Maguire or Hendo instead of greenwood next to Bruno

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

    Wood to DCL a good move?

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

      Yes

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

      Yes

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

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

    Use TC on Bruno or someone else?

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

    2ft, 0 itb

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

      Yes

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

      Avoid losing Kane

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

        Will bring him back next gw probably. Have to make something like this cause I am chasing and this way I will have 11dgw. Also like Cavani chanches better with 3 games...

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

          Bringing him back next week sounds like a good plan. Go for it.

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

    Does this look ok:

    Martinez
    TAA Rudiger Mitchell
    Salah Bruno Son El Ghazi
    Kane DCL Nacho

    Forster Lingard Konsa Struijk

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

      Not sure both/either of Rudi and Mitchell will get both games. Might be tempted to play konsa for that reason.

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

        Play Konsa and Forster in that case. Don't want to double up on Villa defense.

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

    Get Salah

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

    Play:

    A) Son (lee)
    B) Phillips (SOU, mun)

    Cheers

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Son

  14. FCSB

    Morning Folks

    What would you do my bench boost team?

    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. Should I instead go for Son to Zaha or Kane to DCL?

    Mendy Forster

  17. Steve McCroskey
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Gents, any thoughts about captains?

    Am thinking of going Salah rather than Bruno as many are saying that no United player will play all 3 games. Although I am wary that Bruno is a machine and doesn't seem to get fatigued.

    1. jaguar shark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Surely playing 80+ tonight means he will get a rest?

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Ole just hardly ever rests him. If one player plays the most minutes. It’ll be him or Maguire

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

    Amongst all the triple GW hype, is Nacho(c) slipping under the radar? He is the form player after all.

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I think he is massively. Could score well vs Newcastle

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

        Thanks, agreed, and I'm chasing in my league so seems an obvious pick whilst others focus on Greenwood, Salah. Dare I say he could easily score against Utd also considering we don't know what kind of team they will field due to their schedule.

        On fact the more I think about it I'm considering dropping my triple captain chip on him.

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

      He is. No doubt

  19. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bench Boost Team -8

    Mendy
    Shaw Fofana Phillips
    Greenwood Salah (C) Bruno(vc) Lingz Son
    Kane Kelechi

    Martinez, Rudiger, Vydra, White.

    Thoughts? Chasing 58 points. He’ll go Salah or Bruno (C)

  20. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Do you think that there are any 9m MFs that play 3 games in 35 & 36 that will outscore Son with just his two games

    Any ideas would be welcomed

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

      Bale, maybe?

  21. kobewan
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Why is everyone ditching or benching Rudiger this GW?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Not sure. Chelsea have proven under Tuchel they get clean sheets for fun. Even against the big teams.

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

        I don't get it, Maybe rotation but CL finals is still a long way to go and Chelsea is chasing CL spot.

    2. seewhyaxe

    Best combo on a FH?

    A) Robbo, Greenwood, Vardy & Watkins

    Thanks for any opinions..

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Triple captain it.

      Salah, Bruno or Nacho!

      1. la boneza
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        My concern is Bruno only starts 2, and all 3 are tough fixtures, yet most will captain him,.. it's a big risk to not captain him, but also big risk to Triple him.. Salah, Jota, Vardy, Nacho all become differentials

      If Ward is nailed then him.
      I wouldn’t touch Everton cb’s now. Too much rotation risk with Keane and Mina back.

    What do you think the chances are of someone starting all 3 games? Any chance for maguire, Shaw, rashford, or Bruno?

    Greenwood or Salah captain?

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years

      Probably salah. Greenwood won’t start all 3

      Difficult choice:

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

      On Maguire, Think manu will score few, but get at least 1 cs

    A) Play Holding
    B) Kane > DCL -4 and bench Holding

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

      I’d just start Kane...

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

        I’ll be benching him if I keep him.

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

          Why? He’s been the best player in the game this year. Leeds play very open and might be without Phillips which is huge. They do much worse without him

            • 10 Years

            It’s for one game. I’d rather play a DGWer this week and Leeds have tightened up recently. Of course without Phillips makes a huge difference.

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

              Leeds won’t be tight if Phillips doesn’t play. They have given up 20 goals in 9 games without him and a lot of those games were against easier opposition. There’s no point in taking a hit because you’ll want Kane back and DCL is unlikely to outscored him by 8 or more. I don’t see arsenal keeping a cs against chelsea. I’d only expect holding to get 1 point. Then it’s holding vs wba compared to Kane vs Leeds and I think most gws you’d start Kane without hesitation

                2 years, 10 months ago

                Yeh I’ll probably play Kane. Thanks.

          dcl will be getting you 4 points, with Kane you're ahead at least 2 points

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

            “Will”. You can’t put definites on how many a player will score before the event.
            The hate for DCL on this site is incredible. He’s not a 10m striker whom we should expect to score every week.
            He’s scored well for his price tag.
            You’ve predicted the worst possible outcome for Lewin. An average prediction would have been better.

      A

      Play Kane. I thought about benching him for a defender who might only play one match out of two. I then looked at it and decided it was madness
