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.

    Mignolet after realising he was impressing too much

    Worth doing either of these over the next coupe of weeks...

    a) Benteke and Sane ---> Jesus and Albrighton

    b) Bailly ----> Blind

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

      I'm a United fan and even I wouldn't go near our defence tbh

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

      A

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

    I have Stephens and Holgate in my WC draft. Are there any better alternatives with 0.0 ITB?

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

      No

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

        Any idea why Love played last game?

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

      I.E 2 defenders for 8.2 total

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

      Mariappa if DGW fever takes over.

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

        Cheers. Nailed?

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

      No, both are decent picks.

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

        Are they really really nailed to play every game?

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

          No, but they should play.

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

            Cheers man

    Origi OFF
    Sturridge ON

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

    The only thing I'll ever remember Okaka for is the GW before Christmas where 20 maniacs captained him and actually got a haul.

  7. Dirty Harry
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    I really need to go have a sit on the toilet, these nerves ain't helping the cause of holding on

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

    Mariappa attacking threat.

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

      Can't play football though

  9. Team Cruel

      CS point banked

  10. Rainer

    8 years, 11 months ago

    Lallana OFF (not injured)
    Klaven ON

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

    So Benteke and Cout to Jesus and Sane for -4 a no brainer right?

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

      Decent moves

  12. J.Litmanen
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    So this is my current WC team for 36-37, any obvious changes I'm missing?

    Caballero (Foster)
    Stephens Alonso Yoshida Monreal (Holgate)
    Hazard Sanchez Eriksen (De Roon King)
    Gabbi Kane Jesus

    0.1 ITB and WC active.

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

      De Roon and Foster out to Pickford and Matic IMO. Otherwise template, but good.

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

        Actually, Pickford and Albrighton.

      2. J.Litmanen
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Good call. Now I just have to find some differentials. Not chasing anyone in any of my leagues though, so template might do just fine.

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

    There ain't much quality in this game

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

      No Holebas, No Party.

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

      Counting up Watford's points by hand because I'm certain they should be fighting relegation

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

    Feel I need to invest more in defence so looking for a midfielder worth a gamble under 5.5 for GW37?

    Rather they had a DGW but not JWP.

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

      Albrighton, Capoue... Its bleak down there.

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

    Watford should have taken the 25m for deeney when they got the chance

    1. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      25m.... Vietnamese dong?

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

        Close, Loatian Kip. 😉

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

      Where locked into the Guinness book of records for selling the most expensive piece of shite ever.

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

    Matip almost scored

  17. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    What type of injury did Coutinho suffer?

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

      Leg. Presumably dead.

    2. Mini Mane Mo
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Right thigh

    3. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Dead leg or right thigh?

  18. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Deeney playing RB when the team is losing

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

    Hoof Hoof Hoof

    Run about like headless chickens

  20. nkhoughton
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    What would you do?

    A) Gabbi to Jesus/Costa/Vardy
    B) Couts to Alli/Kdb
    C) combo of the two - 4
    D) Hold

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

      B if chasing

  21. The_FF_King
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Who do we think will rise / fall in price tonight then?

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

    Almost sturridge

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

    Average hardly changed today.

    Wait for autosubs bonanza...

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

    If i remove firmino, which is likely i will, i don't really have players to replace him . Anichebe is my 3rd striker. Was about to play 3-5-2
    Got 12.5 for a midfielder and a striker

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

      Sane and Anichebe

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

      Hard to help without team information

      Eriksen Pedro Walcott

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

    I don't recall a game where such dross has been lit by one moment of brilliance. One of the worst games ever and one of the best goals 🙂

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

      Your clearly not Scottish.....

    2. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I think it has to go up there with boro - watford earlier in the season

      At least that had the holebas screamer

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

    Deeney in a rager

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

    Deeney on Firm 😆

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

    Another wrong offside call against Watford.

  29. Hochoki
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    which combination is better for the last 3 gws??

    1. sanchez & gabbiadini
    2. alli & jesus
