The curtain falls on Gameweek 35 with a Vicarage Road meeting between Watford and Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp’s charges arrive bidding to cement their standing in the top four, exploiting Sunday’s results which saw their major challengers drop points.

From a Fantasy perspective, Liverpool’s twin Brazilians will garner the most interest.

Both Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino head into this encounter having prospered against the Hornets in the reverse fixture. Coutinho produced a goal and an assist for 11 points, while his compatriot went fared even better, recording two assists and a goal to total 15 points – his best tally of the campaign.

Both have the backing of new owners tonight, with Coutinho the more popular, finding his way into 50,000+ squads ahead of Gameweek 35, compared with Firmino’s 23,000+. The former is also favoured for the armband, with more than 122,000 (2.7%) trusting Coutinho.

But Liverpool are likely to face some resistance from the home side. Walter Mazzarri’s Watford reached the 40 point “safety” mark with six matches to spare and have earned victories with clean sheets in three of their last five Gameweek outings.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Brought Britos in on my gw31 WC, immediately got a red card, played 90 minutes last week and now injured, don't need his points but need him for bb 37!

    1. Cookie Kid
      • 9 Years

      I hadn't Britos earlier on in th season and he returned a net of 1 point in 6 weeks

      Good luck 🙂

      Yeah, I suffered that same exact fate. Also lost Afobe and Bailly after bringing them in this week, and Stones, too. Cursed.

    Serious question..

    Is GOT actually really good or does it just feed adolescents with sex and violence? Thinking of buying the complete series on blu-ray.

    Ta 🙂

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      It's amazing
      But it also has some unnecessary innapropriate scenes.
      The violence makes it gripping

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

      So worth it. The "shallow" stuff are only in first half of first season to attract viewers really...

    3. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah it's good, although not quite Breaking Bad levels

      Billions is very good, IMO

      1. Clump
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Billions is A1

      It's a big commitment to start watching from the start now 🙂

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

        I still haven't started Sopranos or Walking dead which I recently bought complete series on blu-ray 😀

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years

          Jesus C! Get Sopranos done immediately!!! Forget GoT until you do that!!

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

            Is it better than Boardwalk Empire?

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

            I may not live to the end.. very daunting 😀

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

          I was a Walking Dead doubter but so many on here recommended it that I started watching it - absolutely immense although catching up by watching 2/3/4 episodes at a time was much better than when I caught up (maybe common) and had to wait a week for next episode as it can be slow but it's always building up characters and connecting you to them.
          GoT tops the lot imo though.

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

            Agree, I never watch any series as it comes out, prefer to cram them, can't be doing with waiting a week or even longer for the next episode

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

        Do it. If you regret it you can have my AoA chip next season 🙂

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years

          You can have mine anyway 😉

    7. GAMBIT
      • 11 Years

      It's seriously​ good! Best series I've watched, bar none. The detail in it is amazing​.

    8. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      blu-ray lol

      It's well worth watching. I watched a second time and you get more of the intricacies that way, it's a bit confusing 1st time .

      The boobs an all put in a bit needlessly

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

        Why the blu ray lol? Best for subtitles as I need them and can keep forever when I'm a poor pensioner who can't afford Sky

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

          Oh yeah, I forgot you need the subtitles 😳

    9. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Just give it a watch. Only way you'll know if you like it or not.
      I haven't started yet but I'm planning to give it a watch too.

      If it turns out to be crap then I have no problems in ditching the series.

    10. The Albatross
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      The books are better

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Don't be one of those guys.

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

          This.

        2. The Albatross
          • 16 Years

          What? Someone who reads?

          1. Somalion
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Read the books, prefer the show.

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

            No, it's just that posts like this always come across as being superior. Some (many) prefer the visual experience, it maybe sad but it's a sign of the times

        3. Yellin' in my Ear
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          It's true though, the TV series is great but the books are much better (apart from the fourth book)

          1. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            It might be true, but he's not asking about the books.

            In fact it's very rare a well written book is ever surpassed by the screen version of anything.

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

              I enjoyed the BBC version of the Gruffalo better than the book. And I should know, I've read it 3,432 times.

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

      Watch it

    12. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      It's really good. A good example of the genre done right. Complex but believable plotting (that is, people's actions and reactions are believable, even if you can't get past the dragons etc) and something real to say about the human condition. Binge it, you won't regret it.

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

        Ok, I'm in 🙂

    5. the Penman

      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Overhead kick. He's almost entirely facing away from the goal, it comes towards him above him, he ends up on his back - how is it not an overhead kick?

      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      And who to bench than?
      Just save. Dont think that Jesus will be better than that -4 substitution because CPL defence is not that bad in this moment to allow 3+ goals

      1. Carlton P
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Exactly. Will probs hold and bench rashford

    1. Stupendous
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Yup or Sane if you think he won't start which is madness coz he is 100% starting.

    2. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Sane maybe.

    3. Epic Fail

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Maybe not o would try to have some for 37 though - 36 not looking essential to me.

      It is. Not just Sanchez have 2 DGW but it seems that Firmino is in worst shape than him

    Given Phil was my only player in this match, I've started tinkering with my wc team. Any thoughts appreciated (£0.1m left):
    Willy, Pick;
    Alonso, Yoshi, Stephens, Holgate, Gabriel;
    Erik, Alli, Ozil, Hazard, King;
    Kane, Costa, Jesus

    Thought of downgrading Costa to upgrade elsewhere and worried about Gabriel's pitch time and no Sanchez .
