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.

    Deeney ready to hit the McDonald's drive through

      His face a bit bloated like

    Sanchez Hazard Alli Eriksen King

    1FT shall I do Bailly to Monreal?

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Better Pickford->Monreal 😀
      Who's that 5th def?

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Ahah Holgate my bad

  3. Lav

    Happy with this at the moment considering I was all out at 62 🙂

  4. Pringle
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    I can not compete against some of the wildcard teams in here. How is this with relatively low team value?

    Caballero Pickford
    Alonso Gabriel Yoshida Stephens Holgate
    Ozil Alli Eriksen Hazard King
    Jesus Gabbi Costa

    0.6 ITB

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

      Template, but good. Could consider Ozil to Sane and Costa to Kane?

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

      Very good

    3. Can’t beat em so&hell…
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Nice. I'd want Kane somehow though?

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

        Alli to Sane and Costa to Kane could work?

  5. Syd.

    Deeney with a WWE tackle on Firmino = No foul

    Watford clean through onside - given offside

    Good night for the officials

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

      Can high foot for the goal too.

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

      Think they're trying to balance out their wrong calls with more wrong calls.

      You know, how sometimes you put out a petrol fire with more petrol.

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

    Scared not to have any Arsenal but the only way I can see to squeeze Sanchez in is:

    Sane + Costa to Sanchez + Gabbiadini

    I suppose that makes sense, doesn't it?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years

      50/50

    2. liner

      better no

  7. fantasyfiwip
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    For 36-38:

    A) De Gea & Holgate
    B) Pickford & Daniels

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

      A

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

    Nearly prodl

  9. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Watford hit the bar!

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    BIG WIN!!!! 🙂

  11. Syd.
    • 16 Years

    Lucky Liverpool

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Sane dive away from losing to Boro 😆

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

        I know... Pathectic dive

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

          All 3 chasers got a bit of luck this week. Hope we make it 😉

  12. Can’t beat em so&hell…
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Right, I think I need to make these changes tonight because of price changes.. so sorry for a RMWCT (maybe you're all dying for one?)

    Willy/Pick
    Alonso/ Gabriel/ Holgate/ Yoshida/ Stephens
    Hazard/Alli/ King/ Sane/ Ozil
    Jesus/ Kane/ Gabi

    I think the choice I am left with tonight is... Gabi + Ozil or Anichebe + Sanch

    What do you reckon? Any other changes?

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

      Template, but good.

  13. RohanVaswani
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Is Redmond worth bringing in for the dgw?

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

      If you want a punty differential that could come off, but is more likely not to then yes

    2. Can’t beat em so&hell…
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I don't think so... S'ton aren't exactly on fire...

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

    Too early to shout Liverpool: Top 4? (Yaaaaaassssss!)

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

      Yes

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

        C'mon, you're a blue. You don't honestly think Mourinho's capable of pulling that back?

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

          Just don't count your chickens.... Liverpool have a habit of throwing it away

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

            There's certainly that alright.

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

          I'd be surprised given the fixtures + injuries.

          That said, Pool could be missing Cout depending on what they make of the injury, have a match less than City and United and their fixtures are the type of matches they like to drop points in.

          It's all very tight

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

            A decent away result to Celta I'll be bricking it again, fer sure (or just Migs turning up in general).

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

      Not at all.

      At least all the "We're going to win the league" guff has stopped for another few weeks.

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

        I've genuinely never said that in my entire life.

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

          I was more having a pop at Pool fans in general 😉

  15. Zizou
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Do we think sane will go up tonight. At 99.2 on fpl statistics

    1. Can’t beat em so&hell…
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Sounds likely

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

      hard to tell these days with all the wcs in play. Will be some Coutinho shipping though, so might very well happen.

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

    Scrappy but performances don't matter at this stage

  17. Heavy Data
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Evening everyone. Need to find a 4.6 or below midfielder for gw37, mid at the moment looks like

    Sanchez-Hazard-Alli-Albrighton

    cheers

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

      Romeu

      1. Heavy Data
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        nice, thanks, not even considered him

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

          He has 2 dgw.
          Sure starter easy 2 points. Anything more is bonus

          1. Heavy Data
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            wont be bringing him in until 37. So far its a coin toss between Romeu and Tom

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

      Fletcher for 4 points

    3. liner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      carroll (swa)

      1. Heavy Data
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        yeah been looking at him, they have Sunderland too

    4. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years

      Morrison

    5. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Ndidi for me. Getting touches in the box and shots lately.

  18. The Overthinker

    Who are Differential​s for next 3 gameweeks?

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Healthy players

  19. Gooner Kebab
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    missed the game, what's wrong with coutinho?

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

      Dead leg I believe.

      1. Gooner Kebab
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        thanks, nice grav.

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

    Is it worth bringing in Gabriel for the double or too much of a risk since Mustafi is back?

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

      find a way to get Monreal?

    2. Can’t beat em so&hell…
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I am

    3. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      They are saying Mustafi is still two weeks away, so I'm tempted. But Monreal and Kosc are certainly safer.

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

    I have no wildcard and this is the players i want to get rid before 37. although that would mean a -12 hit. that is probably not worth it ? Got nothing itb so this is what I have to deal with. any tips ?

    Jakupovic
    Stones
    Coutinho
    Gabbiadini

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

      jaku and gabbi can stay. Could return some points. Coutinho and stones to sell only for eriksen/alli - yoshida/stephens. But nothing that essential for hits. And def not for -12

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

    Bench:

    A) Stephens
    B) Huth

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

      If your not playing Huth around the doubles then he's not worth the price.

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

        Good point. I plan to play him atm, but I'm checking if people think Stephens is a better option anyway.

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

          Having said that his goal threat is from set pieces, so he can score against anyone so long as Leicester get freekicks/corners

  23. Positive vibes
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Hi, need your suggestion on this.

    1. Who likely to score more in the rest of season:
    A. Sanchez
    B. Sane

    2. As I have Hazard and Alonso, who likely be the best 3rd Chelsea cover:
    A. Cahill
    B. Costa

    3. Who will likely to score more in the rest of season:
    A. Vardy
    B. Costa

    Thank you.

  25. Duffy Dunk

    Which one is better?

    A)
    Cech Caballero
    Alonso Lowton Smith Maguire Yoshida
    Sanchez Hazard Alli Eriksen King
    Kane COSTA BARNES

    B)
    Cech Caballero
    Alonso Lowton Smith Maguire Yoshida

  26. Tabbara

    WC team
    Caballero Pickford
    Monreal Yoshida Stephens Alonso Holgate
    Sane Pedro Sanchez Hazard King
    Jesus Kane Anichebe
    Suggestions?

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

    King, Ozil or KdB for this week only?

    (I can leave money ITB to get KdB if I go with Ozil/King on WC, but it could be a waste of a FT, and I won't be able to get him if he rises in price)

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

      KdB for a differential. King more safe

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

    Caballero, *
    Alonso, Monreal, Blind, Stephens, *
    Sanchez, Hazard, Alli, King, *
    Jesus, Kane, Gabbiadini

    On wildcard, would you rather have;
    a) de Gea, Verthongen, Capoue
    b) Pickford, Holgate, Sane

    Will be benched in gw36 with Blind, so it´s mostly for gw37 BB and gw38.

  29. Syd.

    Lets my mind made up

    Getting rid of Firmino for a DGWer

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

      *Thats

      I need to go to bed

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

      Who will you bring him in?

    3. shirtless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Exactly my thoughts! Had him since GW1 served me well. Surely Sanchez and Hazard will outscore Firmino and Coutinho over the coming weeks though...!?

  30. George James
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Rate my WC Team please.

    Cech - Wlly
    Alonso - Vertonghan - Stephens - Holgate - Yoshi
    Sanchez (c) - Alli - Hazard - King - Capoue
    Kane - Jesus - Gabbi

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Looks good. Most of the big hitters in! I'd want someone better than Capoue if you have BB left

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

      Decent. 8/10

    3. jmcclory123
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      It's the same as everyone else's. It's fine.

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

      Personally not keen on Gabbi, Capoue, Sanchez, King (for that price without DGW), Vertonghen, (and Holgate Stephens and Yoshi hahah, but you gotta do it for the money - or do youu???)

      But it's a personal thing here. UIf you think they're worth it, then you'll beat me if you're right. Regardless, Pickford is the first player in my team. You can't beat his value
