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.

  10. diesel001

    If Coutinho goes off then Watford just made the no Liverpool in the WC team decision a little easier.

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

      I sold him yesterday but would've liked a farewell return

  11. Ziro
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Coutinho no chance of continuing on. RIP GW.

  12. Forza Papac

    Couts clearly not comfortable to continue

  13. FISSH
    • 13 Years

    Coutinho is my captain. Great.

  14. The Wizard of Ozil
    • 10 Years

    My Coutinho captain is looking awesome. Rage quit kinda week.

  15. Alexis Nonsense
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    So what's the consensus on Sanchez?

    Bring in or not?

    I have Alli, Haz, Sané, Zaha, de Roon

    Sanchez would replace Zaha, but could get Eriksen instead

  16. jmcclory123

    Still hobbling our Phil

  17. CFC1990
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Would it be worth swapping out Alli or Eriksen to Sanchez?

    Coutinho hobbling to 60.00 😛

      8 years, 11 months ago

      He didn't bother in the 59th minute. He won't bother in the 9th minute. Now Bailly... he sure knows FPL!

  19. CocoKlopps

    RMWC

    DDG - Jaku

    Alonso - Stephens - Bailly - monreal - stones

    Hazard - Alli - Walcott - coutinho - king

    Jesus - Rashford - Gabbi
    0ITB

    Currently 3rd in my mini league (had been leading since late december but im the only 1 with my WC chip left so have a massive advantage going into the final few weeks, so need to make the most of it!!!!!) Out of my 15, 12 have a DDG in 37. I would want more but trying to find a balance between who will actually play and who id just be putting in to say ive 15 DDG players. Any thoughts on alternative players to draft in?

    Not sure on Gabbi tho for his value i feel he offers the most chance of returns, rotation a factor tho i feel as cant see him playing 4x90 in 10 days so soon after injury with Southampton having nothing to play for.

    Thanks in advance for those who take the time to reply 🙂

      coutinho? you mad?

    2. Alexis Nonsense
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I don't like Walcott...his minutes are not secure

      Kane missing also hurts, but funds look rather small

      2x Chelsea defenders (Cahill + Alsonso) is my choice for gw37

    3. gforce85
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Wouldn't have Walcott, rabbi, rashford, counting there.

      Bailey could be a doubt. Jaku to pickford for the double.

      Try again just. Try get one more big hitter in. Stones not nailed too. Maybe carbalero instead of ddg and try blind or Damian should be nailed now with Shaw injured.

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

        thanks for the opinions. Some sillys there from myself i must admit Jaku over pickford for example lol. Another draft drawn up and here it is

        Pickford / Cabalero

        David luiz - azpi - blind - stephens - chambers

        hazard - sanchez - son - sane - king

        gabbi - jesus - rashford

        *boils kettle and makes a coffee waiting on replies and more good thoughts and another draft wc team at the ready lol!

  27. Fergiesarmy
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    plan was to TC Sanchez this week and BB wk37 but starting to think BB 36 and TC Kaneohe hazard 37 what sounds best team below for 37

    Willy
    Yosi Stephens Gabriel
    King eriksen Sanchez hazard sane
    Kane gabbi
    Bench: Davies Alonso Pickford anichebe

    I also think some of these players may be out of their teams by wk37

    Opinions appreciated.
