As we gear up for another double-game week in FPL, strategizing becomes key for managers eyeing those crucial points. With Gameweek 34 winding down, it’s prime time to shift focus to Gameweek 35, especially with teams like Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea set to play twice.
For many FPL managers, this could mean unleashing their wildcard to optimize their squad for the upcoming double-game weeks, particularly Double Gameweek 37. Considering the potential for high returns, let’s explore the five best goalkeeper picks in FPL Gameweek 35.
José Sá (Wolves)
Wolves’ goalkeeper, José Malheiro de Sá, priced at £5.0m, has been showing steady form with a rating of 3.5. He’s been averaging 3.1 points per match, totaling 98 points so far with 8 bonus points to his name. Ranked 9th in the ICT Index, he boasts an impressive score of 84.3.
Despite a modest 2.4% ownership, Sá presents a promising option for FPL managers in Gameweek 35. Wolves’ upcoming match against Luton Town, who are teetering on the edge of relegation, suggests a high probability of a clean sheet for Sá, making him an enticing choice for those seeking defensive stability.
Martin Dubravka (Newcastle United)
Martin Dubravka, the goalkeeper for Newcastle, comes in at a reasonable price of £4.3m. With a decent form rating of 4.0 and averaging 3.4 points per match, he’s accumulated a total of 64 points in the season so far, including 3 bonus points. Ranked 14th in the ICT Index, Dubravka maintains an ownership of 8.3%, making him a popular choice among FPL managers.
Heading into Gameweek 35, Newcastle faces Sheffield United, currently at the bottom of the league table and boasting the lowest goal tally this season in the Premier League. With such a favourable matchup, Dubravka is expected to keep a clean sheet, presenting a strong option for FPL managers seeking defensive assurance.
André Onana (Man United)
André Onana, currently priced at £5.0m, is Manchester United’s goalkeeper option in FPL. Despite a recent dip in form with a rating of 2.0, Onana has maintained a solid average of 3.5 points per match, accumulating an impressive 115 points overall, with 9 bonus points to his credit. Remarkably, he holds the top spot in the ICT Index, indicating his significant impact on the field.
With a notable ownership of 15.0%, Onana is a popular choice among FPL managers. In the upcoming Gameweek 35 fixture against Burnley, who have struggled to find the back of the net, Onana and Manchester United’s defense are poised for a clean sheet opportunity. Although United’s defense has shown vulnerability, facing a side currently languishing in the relegation zone should offer some defensive reassurance.
Bernd Leno (Fulham)
Bernd Leno, Fulham’s goalkeeper option in FPL, is currently valued at £4.8m. With a solid form rating of 3.2 and averaging 3.6 points per match, Leno has amassed an impressive 121 points in total, including an impressive 15 bonus points. Ranked 3rd in the ICT Index, he maintains a notable ownership of 15.4%, making him a popular choice among FPL managers.
Heading into Gameweek 35, Fulham faces Crystal Palace, and Leno’s consistent form throughout the season positions him as a reliable choice between the posts.
Vicario (Tottenham Hotspurs)
Guglielmo Vicario, the goalkeeper for Spurs in FPL, comes at a price of £5.3m, ranking 5th among goalkeeper options. Despite a recent form rating of 2.2 and averaging 3.1 points per match, Vicario has accumulated a respectable 98 points so far, with 9 bonus points to his name.
Ranked 10th in the ICT Index, he maintains an ownership of 7.9%, indicating a moderate level of interest among FPL managers. Spurs’ upcoming double gameweek fixtures against Arsenal and Chelsea present an enticing opportunity for Vicario to earn more points. Given the added chance for returns with a double game week, Vicario emerges as a reliable choice between the posts for Gameweek 35, especially when compared to other options with two fixtures.
