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.

    Clyne is just a useless crosser of the ball 🙄

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      He has regressed so much since joining Liverpool. Shocking.

    2. RED PILL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Agree once he's gets in the final third his crossing and decision making is terrible.

  11. jimmy.floyd
    • 9 Years

    A Smith
    B Stephens

  12. RED PILL

    Same story all season one injury after another. Lallana back, Coutinho 1 point and screwed. Cant remember last time Liverpool had best 11 players on the pitch starting a game, For **** Sake

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      They don't play their best XI when all fit anyway.

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years

    • 15 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Rival has Holebas (Holgate) I have Coutinho.. Glad I didn't lol 😀

  18. I Have No Idea What I'…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    How long does a dead leg keep you out for these days?

    Do we think Coutinho will be back for Southampton?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Was a graze on his knee...he'll be fine for the weekend

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Depends how bad it is.

  19. GuillermoDickero
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    One of a million of RMWCT, however.... thoughts on this lads?

    Cech, Pickford

    Alonso, maguire, holgate, Stephens, Yoshida

    King, hazard, Sanchez, alli, eriksen

    Kane, Jesus, Anichebe

    Admittedly quite a cheap defence..... struggling to find any good value between 4.5-5.5 - perhaps Gabriel...

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

      Nice. Very similar but have gone Ozil Gabi instead of Sanchez Anichebe

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

      No need for Maguire on a wc. Gabriel/Darmian maybe.

  20. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Captaining Countinho this week looked a good decision until a few minutes ago

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Coutinho

  21. Delhidynamo
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    this is just a test of patience for me from the FPL gods

    I'm gonna remove Cout for Sanchez for a hit, cue Coutinho brace against Southampton

  22. Sim Simma

  24. The Bandit

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

    Coutinho only player tonight, still get 15 points added when updated 😎

  27. TSILIKAFENEIAKOS
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Get Costa for Lukaku? Means that I won't get Lukaku back as too much value into him ( bought him at 9.4 ).

    Jesus Kane the other 2 and already have Hazard.

  28. Pique boo
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Worst part about the Coutinho injury is that i have Barnes and Smith on my bench

    1. L S P
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      i have Siggy

  29. LIARS POKER
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    A - Walker -> Monreal (-4), bench Zaha, defence would be Monreal, Alonso, Yoshida, Holgate

    B - No hit, play Zaha, defence of Alonso, Yoshida, Holgate

    Edging towards bringing in Monreal due to 2dgw and Walker lack of gametime
