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.

    Pep's tactics are so advanced and superior they've transcended the football pitch.

    In the physical game he's losing 2-1 but metaphysically City are winning 6-0

  27. @persecuted_by_mods
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I'm being deadly serious, 98% of my transfers have resulted in me taking out someone who scored assisted or got a clean sheet for someone who blanked, mostly for a hit too

      Unreal poo transfers from me, curse territory the amount of times it's happened this season

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        What are your plans for the next 2 GWs ?

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            8 years, 11 months ago

            I have no idea, hits for someone who blanks is my captain and the person I take out always gets points too. It's unreal. It would hands down be a hot topic if someone as to analyse it

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Yup. Mine have been like that recently too.

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              8 years, 11 months ago

              It sounds like I'm exaggerating but my transfers have been horrendous
