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

  4. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    Zouma and Terry behind Akeley in the pecking order

  5. Alnair
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Aguero (Groin) 😀

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Why the smile?

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      So an injured player is funny now is it ?
      Grow up.

      1. The Head-Ake
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Means Jesus is more nailed! Not really funny though.

  6. Hybrid.power

    I'm going to the cinema now. I really want to see the headline "Kane Hat Trick piles pressure on Wenger" when I get home.

    1. Sané Mané Hap…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      No no no, it's "Kane and Sanchez each score a Hattrick in thrilling draw. Eriksen misses penalty and sent off."

      🙂

  7. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Blind & Benteke > Jesus & Ake?

    1. Rover
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      OMG! I was thinking of the same moves!

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Is Ake nailed now?

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        100% no sure.

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          🙂

      2. HazardAGuess
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        No. Don't risk it yet. He is favoured by Conte, I think - but he has a few options at his disposal.

    3. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Gots to keep Blind DGW

  8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Aguero limps off and possibly the last we see if him in the pl

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      FPL legend! Love him!

    2. dhamphiir
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Jesus will be nailed and scoring goal

  9. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    No idea now whether to keep Aguero or downgrade to Jesus to save some cash..

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Well I was keeping but the decision may be made for us

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Well he just get injured so...

      1. Sz21
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Not much of an injury this though you would say.

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Jesus all day.

  10. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    FML. Got in Kun for a hit 🙁

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Got in afobe and bailly for a hit. You need to improve on your injury related failures to keep up.

  11. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Jesus wont be a differential so 🙁

    1. MTPockets
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Still only 1.7% owned.

    2. GE
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Crazy or smart? (no WC left, but have Bench boost)

      Valencia, Towsend, Siggy and Benteke -> Monreal, Hazard, King and Jesus (-12)?

    3. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Going without Gabbiadini solves a lot of problems. 3-5-2 with Kane and Jesus up top

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Anichebe is a waste of space though

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Better to save the money than risk on Gabbi. There are no other worthwhile options

      2. The Head-Ake
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        What about the first DGW? He may punish you there

      3. GuillermoDickero
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        What about Kane Costa and Jesus?

    4. Alan_T
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Ake wagon no doubt. Great fixtures and great enabler.

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Wait on Luiz news but it's interesting yes

      2. Pigeon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        No. It will be either Zouma or Terry

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Why you say this?

        2. The Head-Ake
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          I already have 3 Chelsea players damn!!

    5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      8 years, 11 months ago

      1. dhamphiir
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

    6. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      OMG CHELSEA CS

    7. Syd.

      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      My bench points this week

      7, 10, 8, 6. Getting the 8 but the rest of my team have scored 25 so far. So frustrating.

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        14,5,8 and Davies for me.

      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      26 from 8. Can anyone beat that?

      2. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Will 25(-4) from 7 make you happy?

      3. Annie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        30 from 3 on the bench

      4. MTPockets
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Sadly yes.

          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          27 -4 from 8

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          That was fast with an injured groin too!

      6. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

      7. JustPark
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Hope there are still a few Sunderland fans here. Think Donald Love will retain his starting position now that they're relegated?

        1. fusen
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          yes, Moyes won't try anything different.

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

        Groin injuries usually mean 3 weeks off..So Ake vs Terry vs Zouma

      9. makaveli123
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Well, thats me out of the top 10k then.

      10. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        City draw, United draw. Come on Arsenal. Show up for once this season.

      13. Jimmy Boy
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          An unused option twice now.

      14. Alnair
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Sane + Benteke to Jesus + Pedrio (-4)?

        1. Jimmy Boy
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Why would you get rid of Sane?

          1. Alnair
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Not nailed on.

        2. WVA
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

        3. Sancidino
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago
