GW32 Scout Selection: Pogba set for Double joy

Managers in Fantasy Premier League have huge expectations of Paul Pogba (£8.9m) for Double Gameweek 32.            The Manchester United midfielder is now the most owned player in the game, sitting in 43.3 per cent of squads for his matches with Watford and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pogba has flourished since the arrival of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as manager in Gameweek 18.

He has averaged 7.7 points per match with the Norwegian in charge, compared with 3.6 beforehand.

Pogba takes his place in a 4-3-3 formation, with Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) given the captain's armband and Sergio Aguero (£11.8m) handed the vice-captaincy.

Ederson (MCI) £5.6m

The Manchester City goalkeeper's total of 126 points is at least 13 more than any defensive team-mate. Matches against Fulham and Cardiff City can boost Ederson's haul of 14 clean sheets.

Victor Lindelof (MUN) £5.1m

Man Utd's centre-back has impressed at both ends of the pitch ahead of his Double Gameweek. Lindelof has a goal, an assist and two clean sheets over his last six matches.

David Luiz (CHE) £5.9m

The Chelsea defender has already produced three double-figure hauls this season. Luiz offers further potential for big hauls against Cardiff and Brighton & Hove Albion.

Jeffrey Schlupp (CRY) £4.5m

A move into midfield has raised his FPL output ahead of matches with Huddersfield Town and Tottenham Hotspur. Schlupp has a goal and three assists in his last six Gameweek appearances.

Shane Duffy (BHA) £4.7m

The Brighton centre-back offers a major attacking threat for his matches with Southampton and Chelsea. Duffy's 28 shots in the box and 12 shots on target both rank among the top two defenders.

Raheem Sterling (MCI) £11.6m

The Man City winger has four double-figure hauls in his last six Gameweek starts. Sterling's four goals for England over the international break have made him the most-bought player in the Gameweek, with over 245,000 transfers in.

Eden Hazard (CHE) £10.9m

The Belgian will be among the leading captaincy candidates for Chelsea’s two matches. Hazard produced a combined 33 FPL points against his Gameweek 32 opponents earlier in the season.

Paul Pogba (MUN) £8.9m

The Frenchman has supplied four of his five double-figure hauls for this season since Man United’s change of manager.

Raul Jimenez (WOL) £6.8m

The Wolves forward has been in fine form ahead of his double-header with Burnley and Man Utd. Jimenez has three goals, an assist and 29 FPL points in his last four Gameweek appearances.

Sergio Aguero (MCI) £11.8m

The Argentinian has stepped up his output recently, scoring seven of his 18 goals this season in his last six matches. Aguero was a huge success in Man City’s Double Gameweek 25, producing a hat-trick and 19 FPL points.

Marcus Rashford (MUN) £7.6m

Since Solskjaer took over in Gameweek 18, Rashford’s 47 shots on goal ranks joint-top with his team-mate Pogba among all players in FPL. The England international is expected to shrug off a minor ankle problem for United’s pair of matches.

What the experts say

Holly Shand (@FFCommunity_): This is very similar in structure to my latest Free Hit draft; 4-3-3 is my preferred formation right now. I prefer Cesar Azpilicueta (£6.3m) to Luiz as he is less of a rotation risk and has built up a good partnership with Gonzalo Higuain (£9.6m). The Chelsea defence could be worth a double up. 

Ash (@FPLHints): Sterling is the man of the moment. We can't ignore the fact that he's notched two hat-tricks in less than a month. Sure, Pep's rotation risk is always a worry but I'm confident he'll play at least 120 minutes in DGW32 which is sufficient for him to run riot against two bottom teams.

Ben Crabtree (@FC_CrabDogg): I imagine a lot of free-hitters will have very close to or exactly this starting eleven. Personally, I'm hoping a few single Gameweek players post some big scores.

Lee Bonfield (@FPLFamily): Gotta love a Double Gameweek! The triple-up on City is understandably popular and doing the same with United also seems sensible, with both their opponents keeping one eye on the FA Cup. I would’ve liked to have seen some Spurs players in there - the emotion from the manager and the fans around the new stadium will mean points, despite the tricky first tie at Anfield. For those without the budget for Harry Kane (£12.5m), Dele Alli (£8.8m) is my differential pick.

Neal Thurman (@nealjthurman): Frankly, I'm a little concerned about Aguero. Yes, he got a rest over the international break but these two matches are probably the two most likely to offer more rest on the Premier League schedule for the City talisman. Hard to see him starting both.
