Captain Thiago and triple Arsenal - FPL team of the week

Breaking news from the world of sport: Captain Thiago and triple Arsenal - FPL team of the week Image source, Sport By Thomas Woods Sport Senior Journalist Published 19 minutes ago 4 Comments With four weeks left in the FPL season, it is about striking a balance between finding explosive differentials to help you jump up in rank and keeping faith in the consistent performers who have helped you all season. This team of the week follows that strategy. Besides, for most managers this week will be all about planning for the final double gameweek of the season next time out.

Manchester City and Crystal Palace play twice in gameweek 36 so, if you are not already tripled up on Pep Guardiola's side, make sure you have a plan to use your transfers for that reason. The team of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Match Details

How did last week's team do? The good - Casemiro's 12 points, Jarrod Bowen's 10 and Arsenal 's defence. The bad - lots of two-pointers, including Harry Wilson and Ollie Watkins.

The ugly - captain Mohamed Salah going off injured for a one-pointer. However, 56 points for the week was not bad at all. Sport's FPL team of the week for gameweek 35 Image source, Sport Keeper and defence David Raya, keeper (£6m), William Saliba (£6.

2m) - Fulham (h) If Arsenal win the Premier League title, their defence will have to finish the season well, so backing their defensive assets - a good tactic this season - is the way forward. Double Arsenal defence paid off last week and Fulham are low scorers on the road (less than a goal per game on average). Going for a triple-up this week does not even feel like a gamble.

Reactions and Expectations

James Hill, Bournemouth , £4. 2m - Crystal Palace (h) It is a toss-up between Hill and centre-back partner Marco Senesi, so the cheaper player get the nod for budget reasons. There is a high chance of defensive contribution points (defcon) and Palace will be coming off a European semi-final trip to Poland.

It is likely that key attacking players will be rested. Nico O'Reilly, Manchester City , £5. 1m - Everton (a) With City back in action this week, it is time to go return to O'Reilly, who is an incredible vein of form.

The highest-scoring defender in the past 10 gameweeks - and he has missed two matches - with five attacking returns and four clean sheets in eight games. He will likely be playing out of position in midfield, which in theory makes him even more of an attacking threat. James Justin, Leeds United , £3.

The story has climbed to the top of the sports agenda, with fans and analysts following closely.
