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.

    Okay here it is. Potentially finalised WC, and far more template than I ever planned. Shame I won't be fitting KdB in, but G2G?

    Cech
    Alonso, Cahill, Monreal
    Hazard, Alli, Eriksen, Sane, Albrighton
    (K)ane, Jesus
    Pickford | Yoshida, Stephens, Anichebe

    Could do Cech > Willy and/or Albrighton > Capoue to give me up to 1M to upgrade Yoshi?

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

      It's great if u r happy with anichebe.

      Personally think I am in gabbi camp...

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

        I

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

          Um I actually typed " I

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

            Oh the heart emoji destroys everything:

            "I HEART Anichebe! Thanks for your concern! I'd be concerned about Gabbi though to be honest 🙂 "

    2. how now brown cow

      8 years, 11 months ago

      Looks very strong at the back. You know the lack of Sanchez risk.

      Love the "potentially finalised". You'll be tinkering till Friday like the rest of us.

    3. FP El Wonky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Double Chelsea defence looks great

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

        Cheers. Its my first time with che defence, and I cant wait

  2. Smoky Johnson
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Just a quick one!

    A) Vardy + Costa
    B) Jesus + Kane

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

      B

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

      B (And I speak for everyone)

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

        He does

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      B

    4. TokyoRed 東京赤
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      B definitely

    5. FP El Wonky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      A seems more adventurous, nice if you're chading.
      Not that many have Vardy in their WC teams

    6. FP El Wonky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      But Kane is an animal and Jesus a beast.

      Plan B all the way.
      Most of us are doing that though

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

    Ok latest wildcard

    Cech. Pick

    Alonso. Yosh. Evans. Bavies. Holgate

    Eriksen. King. Ozil. Sanchez. Hazard

    Anichebe. Jesus. Kane

    Ok ??

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

      Drop Ozil for Sane and upgrade Anichebe

    2. FP El Wonky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Evans looks dangerous.
      What a midfield!
      I'm just thinking most of us now have Jesus and Kane.
      If they fail there's going to be a few Vardy and lukaku owners making up some rank

      Yeah. Your team looks good.
      Ozil + Sanchez should work
      I've done just that too.

  4. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Big up my man Ben Stokes; beautiful innings today 😀

  5. LakhaneeFC
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    I there going to be an article - community or general with a template GW37 team?

    Or is there one already that I've missed?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      All the RMTs show the template.

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Correct. So many identical teams appearing.

        1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Is great for those chasing - easier to overtake many identical teams than many different teams.

          1. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            This is very true also. How are you btw ? Haven't seen you elsewhere for a while. ☺

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

        Thank you! Will check them out

        Was hoping something from the mods/experts would be more reliable 🙂

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Just wait for the Scout Picks

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

            Perfect. WC already activated - so I have all week to get this thing sorted

            Thanks again!

            1. TorresMagic™

              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 16 Years
              8 years, 11 months ago

              I WC'ed last week to avoid it. 😛

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

    Which combo?
    a) Benteke to Jesus and Cout to Sane for -4.
    b)Benteke to Jesus Cout to Albrighton and Eriksen to Sanchez -8.( have Ozil).
    Thanks.

    1. Stinglikeabee

  7. Happyhammer
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Is davies worth keeping for wc or do u think rose will come back?

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

      I would think rose will be involved in one of the double game week games

  8. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Juan Mata will be the under the radar player to watch out for in DGW 37

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

      Depends on euro rotation surely....

    2. FP El Wonky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah he Could a be fantastic signing if He does well.

  9. Stinglikeabee
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Couthino and gabbi for

    A Jesus and ozil

    B Jesus and sane

    C couthino and Sanchez

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

      B

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

      C isn't right surely?

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

        Yeah. It should have read swap for Sanchez

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

          And Keeping Gabbi who i have now lost confidence in and not even sure he will start both games

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

          C for me

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

    How template is this

    Cech. Pick
    Yosh. Stephens. Alonso. Holgate. Mariappa
    King. Sanchez. Hazard. Alli. Sane
    Kane. Jesus. Gabbi

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

      Not seen much mariappa....dunno if nailed

    2. FP El Wonky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Top 8 is VERY template.
      Defence is template sans mariappa

    3. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Swap Mariappa for Maguire and it's THE template.

      I just wonder what you do with that attack 8. Do you have both AOA and bench boost still left?

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Oh, also Caba instead of Cech in the template. I probably so much didn't expect seeing Cech in any team that completely ignored that pick.

  11. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    TC on...

    A) Kane this week

    B) Sanchez this week

    C) Kane final ganeweek

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

      Don't trust Sanchez. I would go Kane this week. West ham have taken some beatings at the hands of the bigger teams at home.

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

      B

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      B

    4. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Sanchez, even if he blanks that's a base of 12 to 15 points, if he gets a cleanie Vs Sutton

  12. Pinky Blinders
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Hey Jac the Cat, just an FYI since you helped me out with the early WC, thought I'd share on moves done this week. Shipped Henn, Gibson, Zaha and Lukaku for Costa, King, Gabriel and Cech. Had to do it yesterday cause King was going up in price and had exact funds. Took a -8, but wanted to be set up for the DGWs to push into the 10k. Good luck.

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

      Get a room;-)

  13. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    What is better on wildcard.

    A...sane and gabriel

    B...pedro and monreal

    Whatever midfielder I get is likely to be benched for gw36

    Thanks

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

      B, then.

    2. Totally !rre!evant
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Very tough. I have Sane and Monreal so torn, but I think B edges it for me. Gabriel likely to lose his place

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

        Cheers guys. .got a few days to mull over. .

    3. FP El Wonky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I like B. Only because I have Gabriel and wish unfold go back in time and reshuffle my WC to get Monreal instead.
      Gabriel scares me!

  14. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Best Coutinho replacement? £9.5m max.

    I already have Sanchez, Hazard, King.

    1. Totally !rre!evant
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Alli

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

      Alli or erik

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Alli/Eriksen

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

      Ozil has 5 games left and is 9.4

      1. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        he will still score half the points of Alli!

        1. Sir Edo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Freekick, corners and many fixtures left.. not bad!

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

        Albrighton, Morrison or Capoue if your looking for scrap are the ones to pick.

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

        Tempting, very tempting.

  15. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Chose Coutinho over Eriksen last week to be different and captained Coutinho

    Does it get much worse?

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah one bloke had three players crooked including captain. He used WC already!

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

      I was Captaining Aguero all week and wild carded late on and Captained Gabbi who played 59mins

      1. Big Mac 24
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Same here, biggest rival captained AGuero and gained 22 points on me, is now 22 behind.

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

      I dont even care anymore. Couthino had to save my GW. Ha,ha,ha.

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        He saved mine though. Can't please everybody.

  16. WE GO FOR IT
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    I have: Lukaku + Sane + Bailly + Zaha
    Pick one for GW37(I'll be doing the transfers over 2 weeks):

    A. Jesus + King + Alonso + Sanchez
    B. Rashford + KdB + Jagielka + Sanchez (Have Holgate)
    C. Jesus + Sane + Alonso + Alli
    D. Jesus + Sane + 5.5 def + Sanchez

    1. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Tight between A and C, have you got Eriksen? If so A, otherwise C

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I do have Kane and Eriksen

    2. aleksios

      D

      1. WE GO FOR IT

        which defender would you suggest?

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

      A

      Got to have Joshua King

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I've missed so many points from King. Don't wanna miss more. But with Bournemouth safe, will the points dry out?

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

          Nope not with his form + fixtures

          1. WE GO FOR IT
            • 10 Years

      Nah mate, you're not done until the deadline passes.

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

        you're probably right. Think I'll give this bunch a go if no injuries occur though.

        1. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Looks good, I did something very similar last week but you've obviously built up a better TV.

          Best of luck with it!

          1. FPLtfs
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years

    Any updates on Kun injury?
    Are most ppl keeping or ditching?

    Can't afford both he and Kane

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

      Reluctantly trading in for Jesus I think.

  19. Slam
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Alright, am now chasing...
    Any suggested punts from now till the end of the season?

    1. Jimmy Boy
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Ozil?

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

      de Bruyne might be a good call with those fixtures.

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

        Honestly, he is one player I wish I could fit in, just don't know how to do it with Alli, Eriksen and Sanchez

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Drop one of the Spurs.

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

            Cheers, will have a think.
            KDB and Pedro are great suggestions

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

          I ditched Eriksen this week (on wc). Can't have them all I guess 🙂

    3. Lav

      Albrighton

      1. Slam
        • 10 Years

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

      Vardy

    5. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Can't see KDB in too many teams here now.

    6. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      KdB
      Pedro
      Ozil

    7. George Sillett

    62 points. Currently 95k -> 75k

    Had nobody today. Are the chances high I stay above 90k?

      I reckon you'll go down to about 83ish

      You will stay inside 80k easily

      Bailly injury didn't look too serious to me but that's just my opinion.

    Who is more essential for the run in Sanchez or Jesus?

    My rival has both but I can only afford one. No other Arsenal or City attacking cover.

      Sanchez

    With 3 m in bank could make 4 changes to get this team but -12. If any price rises though would be priced out. Would drop me from leading ML to 3 points behind.

    Out -Mawson Zaha Valencia BDavies

    In- Cahill Monreal Stephens Sane

    Caballero Pickford
    Alonso Stephens Yoshida Cahill Monreal
    Sanchez Alli King Hazard Sane
    Gabbiadini Kane Jesus

    Very happy with the results this GW as a Liverpool supporter even if my fantasy OR is down 10k last two gameweeks. May still have a chance for top 10k, now 28k.

    Any thoughts on Darmian game time, given the number of United defenders out? I have 5.0 for the final defender in the wc, unless I get lucky with a couple of rises and can bring in Blind. Not happening though.

    I fell for the template. Its confirmed. No more tinkering. Im done.

    Cech / Caballero
    Alonso / Monreal / Vertonghen / Stephens / Holgate
    San(c)hez / Hazard / Eriksen / King / Carroll
    Kane / Jesus / Gabbiadini

    Coutinho confirms his injury isn't serious, and Shaw out for the season according to Twitter.

    The only most sensible way I can get Sanchez in is by doing Eriksen out.

    Sanchez form pretty crappy really compared to Eriksen.

    Also own Kane and Ali.

    Stick or twist?

      get Sanchez. I ditched Eriksen as well, fwiw.

        It would also be easier if Eriksen didn't have a double gameweek coming up. Really unsure about this one.
