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.

      Hehehe Mariappa a few seasons back had a lovely habit of coming off the bench with goals and clean sheets. I love that fella

    Deeney is such an inspiration for kids around the world. Seeing him play at this level should give every kid and their dog hope that even they can one day make it to the highest level.

  12. fedolefan

    Oh well, that Firmino punt has turned out well.

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

      Better than Coutinho at least

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

        This

  13. Sillet Bang
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Firmino even playing?

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

      He is out of mine

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

      FPL has made a mistake by giving me 3 free points. I'll take it though. Don't tell anyone.

  14. aleksios

    Friend of mine is asking for advice what to do:
    Caballero-Pickford
    Gabriel-Stephens-Yoshida-Holgate-Huth
    Willian-Sane-Chdli-Eriksen-Ozil
    Kun-Costa-Gabbi
    0itb 1ft.

    You are certainly not the Apple of my eye

  16. Zizou

    Always intended to get rid of coutinho this week

    Sanchez eriksen king hazard x
    Kane gabbi benteke

    Is sane the best midfielder
    I have 7.6m exactly

    1. aleksios
      • 10 Years

      For sure

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

      Yes

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

    Lallana, good technique, still has the English bottle.

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

    Mignolet just needed a dose of confidence. Is Kaspar or Hart really that much better?

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

      Hart is better than Mings.

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

      Mignolet is shite. A few caught crosses doesn't change anything.

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

        He's been good for a few months now.

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

      Hart is still throwing them in on a weekly basis

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

      I'd say both are but Migs not as bad as was portrayed.

    5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years

      He will juggle one in the net soon

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

        I bet you post it first if he does 🙂

  19. Somalion

    Gonna be an absolute revelation at Watford when they sign a player capable of completing a pass.

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

      No chance. Just a new manager and 20 more loan signings.

  20. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Might bring in Success for the dgw just for the puns

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

      A London mans Adama Traore.

    2. how now brown cow

  23. batmaniac

    • 12 Years

    Anybody here remember a football trivia site called 'ask the gaffer'?
    It was great for sourcing good football questions and is gone around 2years now.

  24. matiakez

    Made some poor last minute wild card choices last week which has created bench headaches

    DDG Pickford
    Alonso Gabriel Holgate Stephens Kompany
    Sanchez alli king sane JWP
    Costa kane gabi

    Obviously Holgate is one but what about the other two? I'm stumped.

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Looks good to me

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

      Haha same problem here. I've also got 2 Soton defenders, prob bench one of them

      Wondering whether to bench sane or Gabby

    3. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Holgate, Kompany and JWP.

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

    Without a doubt Craig Pawson is the worse ref in the PL

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

      Worse than Kevin Friend? blimey how bad has he been

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

        That Kevin friend is the absolute worst.

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

        There a certainly a few not up to it

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

          Friend is appalling. Mike Jones is too.
          Andre Marriner gets on my nerves, they're probably the worst.
          Howard Webb used to do my nut in even though my team benefited more than most from him.

  26. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Studge coming on 😎

  27. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years

    grating that i may need capoue as a cheap 5th mid dgwer 😕

  28. Paddyburns
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Lukaku to Jesus or Costa? No City cover and only have Azpil for Chelsea. Thanks 🙂

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

    My idea of a non-template WC team:

    Caballero - Cech
    Alonso - Vertonghen - Maguire - Blind - Stephens
    KDB - Siggy - Eriksen - Pedro - King
    Costa - Vardy - Welbeck

    Punty, but could pay off.

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

      Refreshing. And yes, could pay off. Me neither belive in Arsenal players and I am a fan
