After Gylfi Sigurdsson earned Swansea a share of the spoils at Old Trafford, we turn our attentions to a couple of mid-afternoon encounters that both get underway at 2.05pm.

Three of the top five captain picks for Gameweek 35 are set to feature in Everton’s home encounter with Chelsea.

Up against a defence without a clean sheet in 11 Gameweeks, Romelu Lukaku is looking to score for the ninth successive league match at Goodison Park.

The Belgian was handed the armband by 432,000+ FPL managers on the back of 11 goals in the previous six in front of his own supporters.

Diego Costa carries the captaincy hopes of more than 401,000 after serving up a season-high 16 points at home to Southampton on Tuesday, while a run of three double-figure hauls in six have persuaded 232,000+ to opt for his Chelsea team-mate Eden Hazard.

Meanwhile, Sergio Aguero is the number one armband choice among FPL managers this week for Manchester City’s trip to struggling Middlesbrough.

Backed by over 488,000 FPL managers, the Argentine has netted in five of his last six league outings, with the only blanking arriving against Man United on Thursday night when he fired nine attempts on goal without success.

Intriguingly, Gabriel Jesus starts alongside his fellow South American for the first time this season after returning from injury with an appearance off the bench in Thursday’s Manchester derby.

With home clashes against Palace, Leicester and West Brom before a final day visit to Watford, Jesus could now play his way into our wildcard plans if he can plunder the points against Steve Agnew’s strugglers.

Both Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling are among the subs for City, with the German’s run of 12 successive league outings coming to an end at the Riverside.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    1. dark91
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      He's a talent for sure!

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I wish he'd a Northen Irish Father. He & Stevie Davis would be great in the middle of the park

    2. Brap.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Koeman really letting him play too

      Seen him in games where he looks awful, off the pace, lost, and Koeman sticks with and plays him the whole 90

  17. Syd.
    • 16 Years

    City battering Boro at the moment

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

  19. Gargamel

    What formation are City using now? All their attacking players are on the pitch.

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      AoA chip.

  20. Rainer

  23. diesel001

    8 years, 10 months ago

    Rubbish GW.

    1) Negredo to Afobe
    2) Played Blind instead of Luiz
    3) Played Sterling instead of Siggy

    GW not over yet so expect Sanchez and Kane(c) to blank. Got Holgate playing and he will concede a late goal guaranteed.

  24. Mark-O
    • 10 Years

    Here's a song for you all

    Coldplay - Yellow

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      All yellow, except the arrows!

  25. InSaneMan-e
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Looking at City, Its really hard to see who's nailed for the DGW...Jesus/Kun could easily be benched for each other surely?
    Kompany KDB look like the only nailed ones for both

    1. MTPockets
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Probably Silva if fit.

      • Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Sane. Likely Pep won't bench him after this farce, surely?

    2. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Gibson 😎

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Boros defending is superb. Don't understand why City keeping crossing the ball though.

    4. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Bench goes up to 27 points.....

    5. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Ha Sane scored yet

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Nope. Don't expect him to. 1pt

      2. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        You are very repetitive , very boring and not at all funny.
