Manchester City need to keep winning and score lots of goals as they chase **Arsenal** in the title race. They are expected to score at least two goals in this game based on their strong attack. Everton have struggled at home and often concede chances to strikers. Haaland also scored twice in the first game against them. There is a small worry that he is not involved in every goal like before, as other City players are sharing the goals more. Even so, he is still one of the **best captain pick options for Gameweek 35.**
Watkins is in strong form right now, with **7 goals in his last 8 matches across all competitions**, showing he is one of Villa’s main attacking threats again. Even when he doesn’t score, he is still getting into good positions and staying very involved in attack. Earlier in the season he also showed consistency by reaching double-digit Premier League goals in multiple seasons in a row, proving he can deliver over time. **Aston Villa** also have a very good fixture run, facing teams near the bottom of the table, including **Tottenham Hotspur** in Gameweek 35 and **Burnley** in Gameweek 36, which increases his chance of more goals and assists in Gameweek 35 and beyond. He is a strong captain pick option for managers who want a forward in form with good fixtures.
Bruno Fernandes is still one of the most reliable Fantasy options because he is involved in almost everything **Manchester United** do in attack. He **creates chances, takes set-pieces,** and is also the **main penalty taker**, which gives him steady routes to points. He has been in strong form this season, regularly ranking among the top creators in the league with a high number of assists and key passes, showing how important he is to United’s attack. His opponent in this fixture is **Liverpool**. Liverpool are strong defensively, but they can still be exposed in games, especially to creative midfielders playing in advanced roles like Bruno. Because of his penalties, creativity, and consistent involvement, he remains a **solid captain pick option for Gameweek 35**, even in a tough fixture.
Bowen has been one of **West Ham’s** most important players this season, with **eight goals and assisted 10** in the 34 matches so far. He has also been very consistent, often involved in West Ham’s goals and creating chances almost every game. In recent matches, he has been central to most of their attacking play, with goals and assists coming regularly. Even when West Ham struggle, Bowen is still the main threat and often their best route to points. He remains a **differential captain pick option,** especially for managers looking for a reliable attacker with high involvement in his team’s goals.
Igor Thiago has been in excellent form this season, scoring **21 Premier League goals**, making him one of the **top scorers** in the league. He is Brentford’s main striker and also takes penalties, which gives him strong and consistent chances to return points in every game. His opponent in this fixture is **West Ham (away).** West Ham have been inconsistent defensively and often allow chances to central forwards, which keeps Thiago firmly in consideration this week. Heading into Gameweek 35, he is a strong and reliable captain pick option, especially for managers looking for a high-scoring forward with penalties and consistent goal threat.
Leeds have a strong home fixture in Gameweek 35, giving **Calvert-Lewin** a good chance to improve his poor scoring form, with just one open-play goal since December. He still offers some value because he also on penalties, giving him extra ways to return points even if he doesn’t score from open play. Leeds also have fairly good remaining fixtures, which makes him a possible short-term option. However, his form is still a concern, so he is a risk compared to more reliable forwards.
