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.

    Coutinho injury is rotten luck especially when my rival has Firmino and Can. Hard to take.

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

      Your rival has can? I didn't realise any serious played would

      1. camarozz

        Yep brought him in this wk would you believe it.

        8 years, 11 months ago

        I remember buying him as an enabler early in the season. He ended up playing due to injuries on my team, so I got the points from his goals against CP, Watford, and Bournemouth
        That Bournemouth game was glorious... 🙂

    Watford on a Monday night. This is like a Championship game from 5 years ago.

    Guys please let me have ur thoughts on my WC (bb gw37)

    courtois pickford
    stephens gabriel monreal davies alonso
    sane hazard carrol sanchez king
    jesus kane gabbiadini

    thanks

      Template, but good.

      1. the vanisher
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Would u do Cabballero to Pickford and downgrade one defender?

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Courtois to Caballero is a possibility. As is Gabriel to Holgate. You could then upgrade Carroll. But not essential IMO. Team is good enough.

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

      Would like at least one spurs midfielder in, anything itb or maybe downgrade Gabbi to upgrade Carrol?

    3. Ospina Colada
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I wouldn't have double Arsenal defense but rest looks good

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

    Bottomed, any thoughts appreciated:

    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 .
    Ta.

        Are you just posting this comment on everyone's team? 😀

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          They are all the same pretty much and they are all good. When someone shows me a non-template team I will get more interested.

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

            Aye they are all pretty much the same in all fairness.

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

              Nah, this one's completely different to the one above 😉

  5. Beatle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Is Firmino to Sanchez for -4 a good move?

    1. Fuchs Mane Kante
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Only if you (c)appo.

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

    Vardy (C) anyone? Watford are absolutely dreadful, on the beach already.

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

      Good shout.

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

    Any news on Aguero?

  8. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    With coutinho also out, is it worth holding firmino?

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

      He blanks here and he is done for me.

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

      wait for news. will be back for next week for sure. dead leg

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

      Already sold Bobby today, was nice to hold him at the beginnig of the season, got him on wc gw 34 with real hopes. Without mabe and couthino it s hard to perform

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

    Dirty from Can, ouch

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Nervy times

  11. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    everything went badly for me this gw 🙁 urghhh

    needed cout to save my week and of course he gets injured

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

      Unlucky 🙁

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        not my season this year, cant get any kind of consistency

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

    How to improve this WC?

    Pickford Cech
    Alonso Cahill Huth Stephens Holgate
    KdB Sane Hazard Eriksen Albrighton
    Kane Jesus Anichebe

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Bit less template with KDB. But I like it as it is tbh. Huth to Ben Davies is a possibility particularly if playing AOA in a future GW as then it does not matter if he doesn't play.

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

        Yeah depends on Rose news, unless he's already confirmed out. I originally wanted Silva too, but I'm hoping.Sane.will play. Want Monreal too but there's just no way if I want to go big with de Bruyne. Cheers dude

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

          It's my most template so far. Is there a better option than Holgate?

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

      Only Cech and Stephens for first DGW is bold, but then both teams aren't exactly flying.

      I think City could be worth the punt.

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

        Yeah fixtures justify it luckily. I like Saints full backs but they are restable and Saint look alternately great and poor. Monreal would be ideal but on balance I prefer to spend out on de Bruyne and Chelsea def. I originally planned a Gunners triple up at the back given their new system, but Gabriel not worth the price and nor Koscielny considering what the money buys me

    3. Ospina Colada
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Risky with no Sanchez! Fair play if it works out.

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

        Cheers. Bring it on!

  13. Cookie Kid

    8 years, 11 months ago

    Bench TWO next week:
    A) Sane CRY
    B) Gabbiadini LIV ars
    C) Yoshi LIV ars
    D) Stephens LIV ars
    E) Gabriel MNU sot

    1. Ospina Colada
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      How have you got yourself in this situation? XD If you can do two defenders then C and D for me. If not then A and D

      1. Cookie Kid
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        By playing wildcard and having a brilliant team with strength in depth? 🙂

        Think I'll have to leave Stephens and Sane out although leaving Sane out against palace hurts

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Capoue yellow

  15. Syd.

        Thanks . Still working on it. Nervy time.

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years

      Template except for Simpson. But good IMO.

      1. devilsutd96
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks. Was looking to get as many dgw in for 37. Not done tinkering.

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

    Capoue booked for telling the ref he's doing a terrible job

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

    Woeful, woeful officials, as always.

  20. Mattymo23
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    My rival has Coutinho. Feel a bit sorry for him as he's had rotten luck this year

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

    Ref should have gone to specsavers

  22. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Stevie Wonder even saw that the keeper had saved that

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

    So for BPS does Mignolet get a save for that?

    I presume not.

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

      Was just going to ask this

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Well players get awarded assists for dives so I can't see why not

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

    Mignolet has been very good since he came back into the team. There, I said it.

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      its true

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

      Yep

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

      For a number of seasons the Pool defence have been letting players pound Mignolet relentlessly while he gets the blame. Don't get me wrong, he has had very shaky moments, especially when catching (seems to have improved) but for a long time I felt he was a bit of a scapegoat.

  25. Lumberjack
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    So my plan was Cout to Sanchez for free this week. Now wondering if that's best, or go form over DGW?

    A - Cout to Sanchez
    B - Cout & Gabby to Erikson & Jesus (-4)

    Already have Sane/ Kane/ Alli

    cheers

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      A

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

        Yeah think the same now that I've posted, thanks

  26. JAC THE CAT
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Any midfielders worth a gamble under 5.5 for GW37?

    Rather they had a DGW but not JWP.

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

      On albrighton at the moment

  27. Pep Talk
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Getting ready for GW36

    Cech
    Cook-Yoshida-Ward
    King-Dele-Sanchez-Eriksen-Haz
    Jesus-Kane

    DDG-Mawson-Bentekke-Holgate

    Might captain Sanchez or Kane

    3 DGW players. Any thoughts?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Is this a WC team? If so quite interesting with DDG, Benteke, Mawson, Cook and Ward. Not saying it is a bad thing though.

      1. Pep Talk
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        No. Used my WC last few GW.

        Was actually setting the team up with GW37 in mind.

        Will lose bentekke for BB Gameweek 37.

  28. lordkippe
    • 9 Years

    lukaku going to destroy watford in 37

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years

      He has every chance

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

    Lovren so lucky WTF is he at.

  30. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Bailly to Blind?

    1. Ospina Colada
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Much point for GW36 if Man U play Arsenal away?
