FPL Double Gameweek 35 Scout- Buy, Sell & Keep, Captain & Top Picks For 2023-24 Premier League

The Premier League cannot get any closer with three teams in contention for the title. And as we arrive at the 35th game week, the competition is only expected to intensify, especially with the FPL. Even though there are some high-scoring fixtures, contests are expected to get tight, which can be tricky for the FPL managers. In addition, with the extra fixture on the match day, who are the best picks? Who is the best value addition? We’ve got you covered with the best FPL tips.

Meanwhile, a few teams have also been suffering injury issues. Heavy scorers like Erling Haaland and Cole Palmer faced a few niggles recently, keeping the fans intrigued about their availability. Hence, let’s take a look at who is the ideal pick and who is not.

FPL Gameweek 35: Manager’s Guide

Players to Buy

1. Rasmus Hojlund: Manchester United (£7.0m) vs. Burnley (H): The Danish player made a slow start but has progressed rapidly. Hojlund is back to scoring ways in the Premier League after going blank for a few weeks and also sustaining a muscle injury. But he is back to getting goals against Sheffield United. Hojlund went on a 6-goal scoring streak the last time, making him a delightful prospect as a forward.
2. Alexander Isak: Newcastle United (£8.1m) vs. Sheffield United (H): The Magpies have been in great form this season thanks to Isak who has been in stellar form. Already notching up 17 goals, the player could take advantage of the weak Sheffield United defense who already conceded 92 goals this time. Additionally, being the primary penalty taker, Isak could be a goldmine.
3. Kai Havertz: Arsenal (£7.4m) vs. Tottenham Hotspur (A): Arsenal are on a scoring spree this year and Havertz has been making runs into the box and creating chances. The German international has already scored 11 goals and 7 assists and is expected to score more.
4. Jean-Philippe Mateta (£5.1m) vs. Fulham (A): The Frenchman took everyone by surprise this season. Starting just 21 games Mateta has scored 11 goals and has 68 points in the last ten games making him a worthy pick.

Players to Sell

1. Kevin De Bruyne: Manchester City (£10.4 million) vs. Nottingham Forest (A): Kevin De Bruyne has suffered from repeated injuries. Despite giving managers points, the player’s position in the starting eleven is uncertain. Other midfielders like Odegaard or Anthony Gordon can replace the player.
2. Jarrod Bowen: West Ham United (£7.7 million) vs. Liverpool (H): The Hammers have a few tough fixtures as they play title contenders Liverpool at home next. In addition, the player has suffered a knock on his knee not playing the previous two fixtures.

Players to Keep

1. Erling Haaland: Manchester City (£14.2 million) vs. Nottingham Forest: Haaland remains the joint top scorer of the Premier League with 20 goals apart from his eight assists. The player has sustained a minor injury and despite his absence against Brighton, is expected to be back against Forest. The last season’s Golden Boot winner will be determined to take his club to another league title.

2. Cole Palmer: Chelsea (£6.2 million) vs. Aston Villa (A), Tottenham Hotspur (H): Moving in from City, Palmer has taken the league by storm. He is on par with Haaland in terms of goals and ahead of the Norwegian in assists. Even though he is out because of illness, Chelsea could ramp up to play him in the two fixtures against Villa and Spurs.

3. Mohamed Salah: Liverpool (£13.6 million) vs. West Ham United (A): The Egyptian captain is out of form, but Liverpool needs their key player to rise. The player still remains the club’s top scorer this season with 17 goals. And playing against the Hammer who has been the fourth most expensive defense conceding 63 goals, the player can never be written off.

Top Picks for the rest of the season

David Raya (goalkeeper), Trent Alexander Arnold (defender), Kyle Walker (defender), William Saliba (defender), Jarrad Branthwaite (defender), Son Heung-min, Anthony Gordon (midfielder), Alejandro Garnacho (midfielder), Alexander Isak (captain/forward), and Ollie Watkins (vice-captain/forward).

With all the ecstasy in the final stages of the tournaments, seems like a lot of points are expected. The deadline for the double gameweek 35 is 6 am ET/3 am PST on 27th April 2024.
