As the Premier League season intensifies, Arsenal and Manchester City are neck-and-neck in the title race, while Liverpool starts to lag. With Chelsea and Tottenham both playing twice in Double Gameweek 35, strategic choices could significantly influence FPL rankings.
Guglielmo Vicario (Tottenham) and Đorđe Petrović (Chelsea) are logical choices for this double gameweek, given their two fixtures. For those considering single gameweek options, Jordan Pickford (Everton) and Martin Dubravka (Newcastle) could prove valuable, especially given their strong home form. André Onana (Manchester United) is another viable pick, particularly with an eye on upcoming double gameweeks.
Fabian Schär (Newcastle) stands out as a premium defensive option thanks to significant improvements under Eddie Howe, while Dan Burn (Newcastle) offers a more budget-friendly choice. Pedro Porro (Tottenham), if fit, is noted more for his attacking returns than his defensive stability.
Malo Gusto (Chelsea), despite being a doubt, is currently the most in-form defender in Mauricio Pochettino's squad. Diogo Dalot (Manchester United) provides a long-term defensive option. Ben White (Arsenal) recently delivered a massive haul, making him and other Arsenal defenders like Kyle Walker (Manchester City) and Josko Gvardiol (Manchester City) solid picks as their teams push for the title.
Son Heung-min (Tottenham) has a chance to bounce back from a series of unimpressive performances with two fixtures this gameweek. Brennan Johnson (Tottenham) emerges as a budget differential from the Spurs. Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United), always pivotal, remains on penalty duties.
Phil Foden (Manchester City) continues to impress, although managers should remain cautious of potential rotation. Cole Palmer (Chelsea), expected to recover from a brief illness, is set for the double gameweek, while Arsenal's Kai Havertz and Martin Ødegaard are top picks with the Gunners aiming to win out.
Alexander Isak (Newcastle) is highly sought after with favorable upcoming fixtures and a double gameweek on the horizon. Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea) might be a riskier choice but has potential across two games.
Erling Haaland (Manchester City), expected to return from injury, will be crucial in City's title pursuit. Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace) and Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) continue to impress and are key options for ongoing form.
As FPL managers navigate Double Gameweek 35, selecting a mix of double gameweek players and potent single matchday performers will be essential.
Deciding when to deploy FPL chips like the Free Hit or Triple Captain could also be game-changing. Good luck to all managers as they make strategic decisions to maximize their points during this critical phase of the season.
