Starting with breaking news - there's significant injury concern around Erling Haaland who remains sidelined with an ankle injury. The Manchester City striker is expected back around tenth May, which could see him miss the upcoming double gameweek thirty-six. This has triggered massive transfers out, with over seven million managers already moving him on.

In other news, Brentford's impressive form has caught the attention of FPL managers, with the Scout recommending a triple-up on their assets ahead of favorable fixtures against Manchester United, Ipswich Town, and Fulham.

Let's dive into the most transferred players this gameweek. Mohamed Salah leads the way with nearly seven million transfers in, despite facing Chelsea away. The Egyptian's ownership now stands at seventy-one point three percent, with expected points of five point four against Chelsea. His upcoming fixtures include Arsenal at home and Brighton away.

Bryan Mbeumo has seen over nine million transfers in, making him one of the most popular acquisitions. At eight point one million pounds, he offers excellent value with thirty-six point eight percent ownership and projected returns of five point six one points against Manchester United.

Alexander Isak continues to attract attention with over nine million transfers in. The Newcastle striker, priced at nine point six million pounds, has been in excellent form with four point eight points per game average. He faces Brighton away, with expected points of five point six three.

In defense, William Saliba remains a popular option despite Arsenal's mixed recent form. At six point six million pounds and thirty-two point two percent ownership, he faces Bournemouth at home with projected returns of four point three two points.

Looking at differentials, Harvey Barnes of Newcastle catches the eye. With just six percent ownership and priced at six million pounds, he's averaged eight points per game recently and faces Brighton away. His expected points of four point six suggest he could be an excellent differential pick.

Another interesting differential is Leandro Trossard. Despite only three point nine percent ownership, the Arsenal midfielder has been consistently delivering, with seven point two points per game average. At six point seven million pounds, he could be an excellent differential option against Bournemouth.

For those looking at double gameweek options, Manchester City's Josko Gvardiol stands out. The defender has double fixtures in gameweek thirty-six against Bournemouth and Southampton, with expected points of five point zero nine across both games.

In goal, David Raya remains a popular choice with thirty-one point eight percent ownership. The Arsenal keeper faces Bournemouth at home with projected returns of four point three six points.

Regarding chip strategy for the upcoming gameweeks, those still holding their Free Hit chip might want to consider deploying it in gameweek thirty-six to maximize the Manchester City double gameweek, especially with Haaland's potential return.

The most transferred out players include some notable names. Gabriel Jesus continues to see transfers out due to his injury status, while Son Heung-min's doubtful status has triggered over two point seven million transfers out despite Tottenham's favorable upcoming fixtures.

For those considering captaincy options this week, Mohamed Salah's consistent returns make him a strong candidate despite the Chelsea fixture, while Bryan Mbeumo could be an excellent differential captain against Manchester United at home.
