🍻 FPL DGW 3️⃣5️⃣ – Captain Picks (THREAD) 🍻

Finally a differential pick that paid off!! Unsurprisingly, given the chance to start, Bale delivered in typical fashion, bagging a hat-trick as Spurs dispatched Sheffield 4-0. His 21 FPL points were particularly sweet for not only Me
but every FPL manager who took the gamble and captained the Welshman over teammate Kane. Kane duly blanked, which meant for owners of both players a potential 40-point swing more than enough to rocket FPL managers up their mini leagues. Elsewhere, Wood continued his excellent
end of season form with a goal from the spot against West Ham. Only Kane and Iheanacho have scored more goals than the Burnley forward since March 1st. Costing just £6.4m, an ownership of 3.3% and fixtures to come against Fulham, Leeds and Sheffield, Wood could be a nice
differential pick over the last 4 GW's of the season. Moving onto DGW35 and, at the moment (Tuesday), there is some uncertainty over the final gw fixture list. As of writing, eight teams are set to double, though this could increase to ten. However, the postponement of Man Utd
vs Liverpool on Sunday has led to the need to fit an extra fixture into the final 4 gw's. Due to Man Utd and Liverpool’s current commitments, there aren’t too many available options left for the Premier League bosses and as such it looks likely that Liverpool, and subsequently
West Brom, could also be playing twice this gameweek. With this in mind, the best captain options will be discussed ahead of Friday’s 18:30 deadline.

° PREMIUM OPTIONS 🌟🌟🌟

• Mo Salah (£12.7m) vs SOU (H), WBA (a)🇪🇬

The big IF in this selection is the one discussed earlier. IF Liverpool end up with 2 fixtures this gw then Salah will easily be the top captain option and an excellent choice for those FPL players who have
hung onto their Triple Captain chip. Even if Liverpool don't end up with two fixtures, a home match against Saints is enough for Salah to be considered captain material. Still fighting for that fourth Champions League spot, Salah has scored in each of his last 3 league starts.
Equally as impressive is Salah’s record against Southampton. With 7 goals and 1 assist in 7 league appearances, he has never failed to score against the Saints when playing at Anfield (5 goals in 3 matches). He’s also scored against West Brom in his only away appearance for
Liverpool and with West Brom having to win at the weekend to avoid relegation, gaps will appear in what is already the league's worst defence. Away from Salah, Alexander-Arnold is a good option for those looking to capitalise on Red’s fixtures but wanting something different to
the most obvious choice. While attacking options always get the most selections, it is often attacking defenders who score most heavily in DGW's. TAA has been in excellent form recently and was only denied another clean sheet last time out by Newcastle's injury time equaliser.
Southampton haven’t scored a goal at Anfield in the league since 25th October 2015, while Leicester’s attacking full-back Timothy Castagne (£5.8m) another potential option recently grabbed himself an assist and clean sheet in an 11 point haul against West Brom.
° Iheanacho (£6.3m) vs NEW (H), MUN (a)

Another GW brought yet another goal involvement for Kele. He is quite simply in the form of his life with 9 goals, 2 assists, 73 points and just one blank over his last 8 league matches. That blank came against Champions elect Man City.
Taking a look over those 8 fixtures, if any of those matches had been combined into a DGW, the least he would of scored in that GW would have been 15 points. Captain Material. The fixtures look good on paper as well. Baggies were non existent last weekend during their 0-2 defeat
to Arsenal. Only Baggies have conceded more shots on their goal than Magpies this season, who average 14.9 against them per match. Meanwhile, Foxes are in the top 5 for shots taken per match (12.9). This would appear to be a recipe for Foxes goals on Friday evening.
The Foxes 2nd match comes against 2nd placed Utd, who could be tired following a busy schedule. Even if not, they will hold no fear for Iheanacho owners given he scored twice against them and registered an assist just over a month ago in their 3-1 FA Cup quarter final victory.
° Greenwood (£7.1m)🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 or Cavani (£7.9m)🇺🇾 vs AVL (a), LEI (H)

A pick that is down to two things. First is our refusal to put Bruno in one of these articles again. The second is the line up Utd put out away to Roma on Thursday evening. Dependant on which of Greenwood or Cavani
starts in Rome, then please consider the one sat on the bench as the suggestion for DGW35. On the rare chance that both or neither start than Greenwood would be our pick. While Aston Villa have been excellent defensively for most of their season, picking up 14 cs's so far,
their has been no shut out in their last 7 league matches. When it comes to Utd, you have to go all the way back to the 12th December 2009 to find the last time they failed to score against the Midlands club. This type of record is even more impressive against their 2nd opponents
° Calvert-Lewin🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (£7.5m) vs WHU (a), AVL(a)

A goal and two bonus points at the weekend, DCL would appear to be back up to speed following his recent spell on the sidelines. The timing couldn’t be more perfect, with Everton set to face both Hammers and Villa in a matter of days.
While the Toffees 1-2 defeat to Villa just a few days ago have damaged their European aspirations, a victory over 5th placed West Ham on Sunday will propel the side right back into the mixer. DCL has form against the Hammers also, having bagged a hat-trick against them earlier in
the season during their 4th round Carabao Cup tie. Furthermore, it’s now been 7 matches since the Hammers last kept a clean sheet, conceding 13 goals over that time period. As mentioned previously, Villa’s recent record is just as poor, as they also have no cs's in their last 7.
° DIFFERENTIAL OPTION🌟

• Ward-Prowse (£5.8m) vs LIV (a), CRY (H)

He is very much a flyer for our differential captain pick for the weekend. While Zaha was strongly considered for this spot, his potential injury pushed JWP to the forefront. No player has scored more than JWP's
4 free kicks this campaign and Palace give away just under 11 fouls per match. The referee for the Palace match, Andy Madley, has given the 2nd most free kicks amongst Premier League referees so far this season, atleast I've finally managed to get a referee stat into this thread.
