Top five captain picks in FPL gameweek 35

These players have favourable fixtures and form on their side which could be vital for their managers.

Just as the 2022-23 season of the Premier League is heading towards its conclusion, the Fantasy Premier League is also reaching its end. Around nine million players will see their campaigns finish after the next few game weeks. The final four-game weeks will play a crucial part in deciding the winner of the contest.

FPL managers will hope to finish with a strong points tally to improve their overall rank and win the private leagues and cups. The game week 35 features some interesting encounters which can result in huge points for the managers who make smart team selections. Players from Manchester City and Brighton Hove & Albion and more will invite particular interest from FPL users who are looking to score points.

The FPL managers must use the captaincy chip smartly that doubles the points of a player for that game week. As the game week 35 gets near, here is a look at the top five captain picks for it in Fantasy Premier League:

Pervis Estupinan

Pervis Estupinan can be the perfect differential in the upcoming game week. The full-back won’t be in a high percentage in terms of ownership across the board. His performance in a 6-0 win for Brighton & Hove Albion over Wolves was impressive where he got an assist and a clean sheet. 

The left-back got nine points from that fixture alone. Brighton plays struggling Everton in the upcoming game week which can be a perfect opportunity for another clean sheet and more attacking returns by Estupinan.

Harry Kane

Harry Kane is the second-highest goalscorer in the Premier League with 25 goals in 34 appearances. He has 225 points in FPL heading into the game week 35, also the second highest behind Erlin Haaland who has 249.

Tottenham Hotspur plays against Crystal Palace in their next fixture. When these teams met in the reverse fixture, Spurs won by 4-0 at Selhurst Park with Kane scoring a brace.

Kevin De Bruyne

Kevin De Bruyne was not part of the Manchester City squad that won 2-1 against Fulham as he was recovering from a knock. He got to rest and will surely be back in the lineup that faces Leeds United in the game week 35.

The Belgian got a brace and an assist in a 4-1 iconic win against Arsenal which put the race for the title firmly in MCFC’s control. He scored 19 points in that game and has a total of 178 points in the FPL at the moment. 

Callum Wilson

Callum Wilson is one of the most sought-after striker options in the Fantasy Premier League at the moment. He is in red-hot form for Newcastle United. The striker has five goals in his last three Premier League games.

Callum Wilson scored a brace against Southampton in a 3-1 win in the most recent league fixture. Now, NUFC plays Arsenal in game week 35, a crucial tie in the race for the title and the top four places for either team. It can be a tasty affair that leads to goals and blistering football action.

Erling Haaland

Erling Haaland is by far the best option for captaincy in the upcoming FPL game week 35. It would be dense not to pick the striker who has broken the record for most goals in a single season of the Premier League that has 38 games. His sights are set on breaking the record for most goals in an English top-flight season.

Manchester City’s fixture against Leeds United can lead to a lot of goals and one can safely bet on Erling Haaland scoring a majority of them. Giving him the captaincy is a safe and reliable option at this point for FPL managers who cannot rely on differentials. He is the leading FPL points-getter with 249 points with 34 goals and eight assists in 30 appearances in the league.
