AZ SAID

3pm team news: Ronaldo starts, Jimenez injured

Still licking my wounds from a disastrous Free Hit, picking a selection that will fare well in Gameweek 35 is filling me with fear.

Luckily, there are some standout fixtures that make this a bit easier.

I’ll start with Aston Villa’s home game against Norwich. It looks like a great time to snap up Villa assets, with the game against the league’s worst side immediately followed by back-to-back Double Gameweeks. The stats suggest that investment in Villa’s defence may be the most shrewd of moves. Over the season they rank fifth for minutes per non-penalty expected goals conceded (NPxGC, 73.0) and over the last six, this average has even improved. This propels Matthew Cash to the top of both my Scout Squad selection, and my own wishlist for my FPL team.

Elsewhere, I like the look of Tottenham Hotspur against a Leicester side who will surely once again rotate after their European semi-final first leg. From an attacking sense, over the last six Gameweeks, Leicester are ranked bottom of all teams for minutes per non-penalty expected goal (NPxG 100.4), implying that the heavy rotation is having a negative impact on their ability to create chances. Despite a couple of poor results, Spurs are ranked third across all teams for the same metric, creating an NPxG every 45.9 minutes. I think this is the perfect game for the Lilywhites to get back on track, with the likes of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min sure to be involved.

Manchester City play Leeds in a match which will perhaps be less of a spectacle than we might have seen when Marcelo Bielsa was in charge of the home side. Jesse Marsch is likely to set up to frustrate City, and their impressive defensive numbers since he took over hint at a change of style. However, the reigning champions have the bit between their teeth at the moment, and Kevin De Bruyne – with his five attacking returns in his last four starts – looks an explosive differential option for anyone chasing mini-leagues or a higher-placed finish in the overall rankings.

SAM SAID

The best Spurs players for FPL Double Gameweek 29 and beyond 5

There are some really interesting dynamics at play in Gameweek 35, with some teams enjoying great fixtures and there being a huge potential for rotation as a result of European football.

Man City’s close result against Real Madrid makes the Pep roulette even riskier in Gameweek 35. Joao Cancelo was suspended for the Champions League match in midweek and should therefore be a fairly secure starter but beyond that there is much uncertainty. Kevin De Bruyne was, at least, subbed early in Gameweek 34, so I think he is the best midfield pick at City. The Belgian is top for attacking returns (five) for midfielders in the last four matches and is also second only to Mohamed Salah for expected assists (xA) in the same period. His tally of 15 chances created is four more than the next best midfielder.

Leicester and West Ham will also likely be impacted by European football. They will both have one eye on the second leg of their ties in the Europa Conference and Europa League respectively. The Foxes face Tottenham Hotspur in Gameweek 35 and Spurs’ Son Heung-min and Harry Kane both have an excellent record against the Foxes: Kane has returned in seven of the last eight Premier League fixtures he has started against Leicester, averaging 12.2 points per match. Likewise, Son has returned in four of his last five matches against the Foxes.

I have picked three Aston Villa assets this week after the Villans broke their losing streak in Gameweek 34 with the draw against Leicester. Matthew Cash has the most attacking potential from Villa’s defensive assets, having returned two goals and three assists under Steven Gerrard. Cash has put in 56 crosses since Gameweek 12 and is tied ninth among all defenders for chances created (19). He also ranks fourth for threat amongst defenders in the influence, creativity and threat (ICT) index. Midfielder Philippe Coutinho has returned 41 points from three goals and three assists since arriving at Aston Villa, placing him joint-fifth across all midfielders for attacking returns since his Gameweek 22 debut. The Brazilian is also fifth for midfield goal attempts in the same period, with more than the likes of De Bruyne. Finally, Ollie Watkins could prove to be a wise investment ahead of the match against Norwich.

With Manchester United struggling for form and with key players missing through injury, I also fancy Christian Eriksen as a great differential in Gameweek 35. Eriksen had three goal attempts in Gameweek 34, more than the whole Spurs team combined, and his total of four chances created was also tied top for midfielders in Gameweek 34. He has had 13 goal attempts in his last six matches, which is 11th across all midfielders in the game and more than the likes of Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota, Harvey Barnes and Jarrod Bowen have managed. Eriksen has also taken 12 corners in this period, which is more than any other player in his Fantasy position, and he is tied top for attempts from set pieces – meaning he has myriad routes to points. His four big chances created over the same timeframe can’t be bettered by any other midfielder, either.

TOM SAID…

Raphinha "expected back" in time for Gameweek 8 as Sarr's FPL appeal wanes

A number of Manchester City players have claims for inclusion this weekend but with game-time perhaps not assured for the likes of Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez, attacking representation is limited to Kevin De Bruyne. Given his current form, I’d be surprised if Pep chooses to bench him, despite that pivotal Champions League clash in Madrid just a few days later. Leeds tend to give up most of their chances in wide areas under Marsch, but predicting who starts in those positions isn’t straightforward, and the playmaker will surely be the one feeding them regardless. De Bruyne is joined by the rested Joao Cancelo, who has registered more shots than any other defender this season.

Those rotation concerns are also applicable at Liverpool, who face a tighter turnaround (Wed/Sat early kick-off/Tue) than City. However, a bit like De Bruyne, Mohamed Salah is surely too important to rest given the magnitude of the tie. Newcastle’s 2022 form – only Liverpool have taken more points – also suggests Klopp won’t be taking this one lightly. Trent Alexander-Arnold is my second pick from the Reds, although I’d be equally comfortable including Andrew Robertson, given the £1.1m saving, plus the fact he has outscored every other defender in FPL by at least 16 points since the turn of the year.

I’ve also doubled up on Spurs and Arsenal in my selections, given that both of their opponents (Leicester and West Ham) are in European action either side of Gameweek 35. That suggests plenty of rotation and tired legs too, which I’m hopeful the likes of Son Heung-minHarry Kane and Eddie Nketiah will be able to capitalise on. The latter carries a bit of risk but has performed well since coming into Mikel Arteta’s XI, and was only denied his third goal in two games after VAR intervention last weekend. With just one goal in their last three outings for West Ham, I’m also happy to include Aaron Ramsdale, despite a recent dip in form.

With so many appealing premiums, I’ve opted for triple-ups at Aston Villa and Burnley, both of whom have decent budget/mid-price options on offer.

Villa aren’t in a great moment and have actually failed to score from open play since Gameweek 29, but a visit from Norwich could be just the tonic. Gerrard’s troops have generally performed well at home against bottom-half sides, too, at least from an attacking perspective. Southampton, for example, were dispatched 4-0 in March, which followed a memorable 3-3 draw with Leeds a few weeks earlier. If Villa are to step up, you’d expect Philippe Coutinho and Ollie Watkins to be involved, while the Canaries’ weaker left flank is a key reason behind the Matthew Cash pick.

The Clarets, meanwhile, face a struggling Watford side, and have been in fine form under interim coach Mike Jackson. There have been notable improvements all over the pitch, but none more so than Dwight McNeil, who has been allowed more of a free role.

NEALE SAID

Thursday night European sideshows very likely mean that West Ham United and Leicester City will rotate heavily this weekend, raising interest in players from opponents Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.

It’s important not to inflate expectations too much, though: a much-changed Hammers side were more than a match for Chelsea last weekend, while Leicester have conceded only 1.15 goals per game over their last 13 fixtures, regardless of who has been in their back four.

Still, you’d rather Harry Kane was facing Caglar Soyuncu than Jonny Evans, and you’d probably prefer that your Gunners assets had to encounter Mark Noble rather than Declan Rice – if those team selections transpire, of course.

Kane hauled in the reverse fixture of Sunday’s match (which was, coincidentally, the last time that Leicester conceded more than two goals in a game), making it six returns in four meetings with a Foxes side managed by Rodgers. I can’t imagine Leicester going toe to toe with the Lilywhites in an attacking sense, particularly after their manager highlighted the “lack of energy” last weekend, so it could be a game for the guile of Kane rather than the dynamic, behind-the-last-man skillset of Son Heung-min – not that I think the South Korea international is a bad pick this weekend in the slightest and were it not for the plethora of alternatives in the middle of the park, he’d have made my own Scout Squad list. Eric Dier also makes a rare Scout Squad appearance as he comes up against the Foxes’ second-string attack and, given the visitors’ vulnerability at set plays, he might also be able to connect with a Son delivery at the other end of the pitch.

Who is in the midfield mix, then? There are no surprises that Mohamed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne make an appearance, while Bukayo Saka is included on the off-chance that he is fit this weekend. It’s not West Ham’s European commitments so much as they have no centre-backs available, with Craig Dawson’s suspension compounding the injury crisis at the rear. A subdued Philippe Coutinho meanwhile is backed for the visit of the division’s worst defence: he has blanked five games in a row but Villa have been so poor against sides in the upper echelons this season and now the fixtures are about to turn for the better. He averages almost three times as many shots in the box against bottom-half sides as he does versus those ranked 10th or higher.

The token budget midfield spot goes to Bryan Mbeumo. We Fantasy managers have overlooked Brentford recently due to their lack of ‘doubles’ but they’re on a stupendous run of results, losing only one of their last seven league fixtures. Manchester United, on the other hand, are plumbing new depths. The underlying figures don’t hint at a vulnerability but I’m going full-on eye test here as anyone watching Alex Telles recently will tell you that he’s been turning in some abysmal displays, and I fancy Mbeumo – who can’t be beaten by any midfielder for goal attempts in his last six matches – to get the better of him if he’s fielded down the right flank again, as he has been recently in Thomas Frank’s 4-3-3.

Watford are not only bottom for both goals conceded and goals scored in their last six matches but they have also allowed more chances to be created from their left flank than any other club – so current Burnley right-back incumbent Connor Roberts is given the nod alongside Wout Weghorst, whose shot and chances created counts have been much improved since Mike Jackson assumed control.

Talking of sides who struggle to score goals, Wolves v Brighton seems like a bottom-of-the-Match-of-the-Day-running-order game if ever I’ve seen one. The hosts being without the creative Ruben Neves and Daniel Podence solidifies my selection of Robert Sanchez as first-choice goalkeeper, while the return of Yves Bissouma from suspension should also help firm up a rear that impressed so much in north London recently.

        James will leave by GW36. Just need to see if he is worth losing earlier. Kulu to Foden or Mount to Foden are the GW36 moves I'm considering depending how much I downgrade James

      The slight injury doubts over KDB put me off.

    Sa
    Cancelo Laporte TAA Dier
    (S)on Salah Mads Saka Martinelli
    Werner
    Dubravka Broja Livra* Cucho*

    1) Martinelli to Jota/Coutinho/Mount/JWP/Zaha/Kulu/other?
    2) one of the above, plus Livra to Alonso/Robbo for -4

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I wouldn't bring in Chelsea players now. Folks looking to offload in 36.

      Livramento to Robbo would be the first transfer. Martinelli to Gordon in 36

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Why is Robbo not in any of the scout selections in the article? I thought he might be injured, or due a rest? Otherwise that will be my move. Thanks

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          They tend to prefer TAA over him and scout selection is for 1GW only. Robbo is a good pick for the rest of the season.

        2. Jock Grealish
          • 2 Years

          He'll start Toon game as Tsimi was out of game midweek with injury so doubt he recovers in time

              Tsimikas probably only plays the villareal away game now until end of season. Maybe wolves game if they’ve lost league by then

  13. Ruinenlust

    Will Nketiah stert both games in DGW? Using BB so need him to stert both

    1. Jock Grealish

      doubt it

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years

      No one can answer that question with any certainty, I would think Lacazette starts at least one of those games

      1. Ruinenlust
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        So Nketiah not worth having on WC then?

        1. Pep's Money Laundry
          • 8 Years

          I'm not saying that, you asked if he will start.
          If I had my BB left I wouldn't mind using it on Nketiah as he is in good form. One start and one sub appearence at his price is good enough for me

          1. Ruinenlust
            • 6 Years
            1 year, 11 months ago

            Gordon, Ramsey are cheaper and will stert both

    3. Alcapaul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Possibly but I wouldn't be shocked to see Lacazette start the Spurs game.

    4. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Maybe. It does seem like it's his spot to lose but similar risk rotation to ESR/Martinelli. At 5.5m, he is worth the punt

    5. ebb2sparky
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I don’t think you need him to start both and I doubt he will. As long as he starts against Leeds then he’s not a bad option at that price. Obviously if he only starts against Liverpool that would be a concern.

      1. ebb2sparky
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Sorry I meant spurs not liverpool

      No

  14. ebb2sparky
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    I realise they aren’t appealing options but what order would you rank the following for the remaining gameweeks (excluding gw37 when I’ll FH):
    1) Toney
    2) Pukki
    3) Nketiah
    4) Dennis

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Close between Pukki and Dennis

      Nketiah
      Pukki
      Dennis
      Toney

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years

        ^^

      2. ebb2sparky
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        You’re probably right but I’ve had Toney a while and he’s been doing OK so finding it difficult to sell him given his nice fixtures. I already have Pukki and Nketiah so maybe will do Toney to Dennis to complete a truly horrific front 3!
        Thanks

        1. JELLYFISH
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Agree re Toney, he has great fixtures for the run in and worth keeping imo. I'd probably rank by order:

          Toney
          Nketiah
          Dennis
          Pukki

          1. ebb2sparky
            • 13 Years
            1 year, 11 months ago

            Yep and he has Utd next. Problem is that I’m on my WC this week and will BB 36 so realistically if I’m going to sell him it probably makes sense to do it this week

        2. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          If I had Toney, I wouldn't use a transfer to move him to Dennis. More upside using transfers elsewhere

          1. ebb2sparky
            • 13 Years
            1 year, 11 months ago

            I’m on my WC this week so the transfer isn’t a problem. I’m happy with my team, it’s just the Toney spot and my 5th defender (currently Alonso) I need to finalise.

            1. Tonyawesome69
              • 5 Years
              1 year, 11 months ago

              With you planning to BB36, I would lose Toney for a doubler.

              I'm not confident the first choice Chelsea players will play both games in 36 when the FAC is after the Leeds game

              1. ebb2sparky
                • 13 Years
                1 year, 11 months ago

                Alonso is the only Chelsea player in my current WC draft and I’ll probably sell him since it is too heavy in defence for my liking. I could potentially spend up to 8.5 on a Toney replacement. Any suggestions for a doubler? Already have 3 city and 3 Liverpool.

                1. Tonyawesome69
                  • 5 Years
                  1 year, 11 months ago

                  Nketiah or go up to Rich if you want to spend a bit more in the FWDs

                  1. ebb2sparky
                    • 13 Years
                    1 year, 11 months ago

                    I was planning to just get Rich on my FH for 37 since he has 2 away fixtures in 36. Might reassess that decision though. I already have Nketiah but not Dennis so maybe I’ll just get him and keep the money in the bank for future transfers.

  15. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Ramsey or Gordon?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Gordon

  16. JELLYFISH
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Gents, appreciate your thoughts on these transfers for a -4

    Bowen & Ait Nouri > Gordon & Cash

    Leaves me 1.1 itb to do Son > KDB after GW36 FH (keeping Kane for the run in) and gives me 2 additional dgw players for GW37

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Looks good

  17. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Should I start Matip or Nketiah?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Oft can you not start both

  18. dshv
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Play 1:

    Nketiah
    Dennis
    Pukki

    1. Make Arrows Green Again

      Get someone from city?

    2. dandalf
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Save this week and do Kane to Watkins and Zaha to De Bruyne next week. I you fancy a - 4 you can drop Mount for Foden at the same time.

    Coutinho or Madison?

    1. Ruinenlust

      FOr DGW36

    2. Tonyawesome69

      Maddison

    3. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Cout

    4. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years

      Maddy has the best fixtures just got to hope he gets enough mins

  22. fish&chips
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Thoughts on these moves for a -8 in GW36?

    Alonso, havertz, Taylor, kane -> KDB, Laporte, Robertson, nketiah

    Incoming players are all decent but the outgoing ones have the ability to punish. Will FH in 37

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I don't mind those moves

    2. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      overall moves look great imo

      Kane is the one that could do some damage when looked at in isolation but I would still make those moves

    3. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Cheers both

  23. ZimZalabim
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Thoughts on what to do here ?

    Schmeichel
    Trent Cancelo Laporte Alonso
    Salah Sterling Jota Havertz Mount
    Dennis
    Foster Pukki Davies Nketiah

    Nothing in the bank and willing to take hits

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Team looks good as is

  24. Snooze ya lose
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Jesus yay or nay?

  25. DavvaMC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Is Alonso a good choice to bring in? Who is his competition Chalobah?

    I have James and looking at transferring him to Cancelo

    1. tokara
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Saul

    2. Cheeto__Bandito
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Tuchel has proven to play pretty much anyone at wing back, so alot of competition.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Sarr if they switch to 4 ATB. Azpi can play LWB as well

    4. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      So don't go there?

      Maybe Matt Cash then?

    5. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I would expect him to get one rest (v Leeds) & play the rest

      1. DavvaMC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Thanks would you prefer him over Cash?

        My possible transfer this week is James > Cancelo and Schar > Alonso/Cash

  26. Better Call Raul
    • 4 Years

    Is James fit to start this evening?

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)

      Yes, been training the last few days

    Best move?

    Option 1:

    GW36; Sterling+Havertz >> KDB(C)+Saka

    Option 2:
    GW35; Sterling >> Son(C)

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA

        Thanks. So no Son, KDB or Saka this week?

        1. Cheeky Onion
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Agree with 1 - Saka has a knock this week so could be doubtful

  29. balint84
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    A) Nketiah
    B) Watkins
    C) Pukki

    1. Cheeky Onion

  30. RogDog_jimmy

    What we know about Schar? Expected to be back in the lineup?
    I thought he was playing well so hoping it was just a rest.
