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.

        Don't be so sure

    2. FPLFamily (Lee)

      Has seriously improved of late

      1. makaveli123
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I have always liked him. Think he has great potential

    3. A.T
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Tough one. The competition is immense

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

      Far from it. Really stepped up since Henderson has been out.

      Moreno.

    5. Alnair

      Not at all

    Jesus u can't make this up.
    Caught up 65 points on main rival past 2 weeks. Now he getting 20 off the bench and has can Wtf man.

      Ouch, I feel you man

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

    Any suggestions on this team on a wildcard that might get me an edge on my rival

    Cech, Willy,

    Bertrand, Kos, Alonso, Davies, Holgate

    Sanchez, Sane, Eriksen, Ward Prowse, King

    Jesus, Kane, Gabbi

    ML rival is 5 points ahead with no wildcard ( but has BB like me) and has...

    Willy, Jak

    Stephens, Walker, Alonso, Ward, Bailly

    Sanchez, Zaha, Alli, King, Frazer

    Kane, Gabbi, Lukaku

    I'm talking a chance and going without Alli so I can match some of his other key players or should I just go completely different - caught up 25 points this week as I had Aguero captain

    Thanks...

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

      5 points is nothing, just play your own game imo. Score as many points as you can without worrying about his team

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

      Hazard would win it for you

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

        I have 1m in the bank but not enough to get hazard unless I take some chances on more players that might not play - so not sure how to fit him in. I'm aiming to have 6 DGW players this week which I am hoping will give me an edge .

    Any assist there for Firmino?

    1. makaveli123
      • 9 Years

    2. Top 210 Club

      Brazilian mid got the assist.

    6. fedolefan

      ugh. Thanks.

    7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years

      His teeth blinded the defenders

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

        They all count in the final baps.

  5. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    That Tadic missed pen cost me 6 points + imagine all the Hull GK owners too, and if Pickford had kept a CS may well (with King not scoring) be top 1k now, so funny the small margins in this game!

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

      Pickford CS would've been a bit jammy but the Tadic miss was unreal

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

      It cost you more.

      Made it:
      GS: 5
      Max BP: 3
      Tota: 8

      Miss:
      -2

      Diff: 10

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

      I also have him while main rival have King (C). 5 worst minutes of fpl for me...

      1. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        argh, feel your pain, jeez it wasn't pleasant was it 🙁

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

          Aguero (C) helped a bit the day after. But yeah it sucked. Can't wait to seal this season and it to be over 🙂

    4. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I reckon it cost me 15. Tadic/ Yoshida owner 🙁

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

    Jeez Coutinho fairly hobbling off the bench there. Probably should be getting a bit more treatment than watching from the stands

    1. Goal Digger2016
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Cout yellow flagged!

      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Chasing 30-odd points in my ML.

      Leader has Costa. Do I get Vardy (to go along with Kane and Jesus as a differential, or do I get Costa and seek a differential elsewhere?

      1. Jimjam
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        Well darn that wasn't supposed to be a reply but a new comment. Sorry mate.

    Top 5 goal this season?

    1. makaveli123
      • 9 Years

      Can't recall any better at the moment. Care to refresh my mind?

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

        Giroud, mikhy?

          This

        2. makaveli123
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Giroud of course! Cheers

          1. Stupendous
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Lallana would have been in the conversation if his had gone in too

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

            Also payet v boro but also awful defending involved

            Henderson v Chelsea worth a mention too as a decent outside the box goal

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

        Didn't Carroll have an overhead that was struck a bit better (even if the level of difficulty wasn't quite as high)?

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

          Oh yes that was a brilliant goal. It looked a little better as it was hit with so much power and came off the top off the bar.

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

      That's goal of the season in my book

      Technique absolutely off the scale

  14. Egyptian Giza
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    benteke & gibson > alonso & kane? for a hit

    1. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

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

      Do it

  15. Tim Canterbury
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Can's good lookin for a bloke

    1. Alnair
      • 9 Years

      Keep Willy between the posts mate

      1. Top 210 Club
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Brilliant

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

      Thats being harsh on him.

    3. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      The question is:

      Would you let him beat it up your arse?

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

        Oh Tones 😆

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

    Anyone going without Sanchez this week?

    I have no WC and am finding it hard to fit him in.

    Do you reckon Hazard is a decent alternative?

    1. moment
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      It's hard to argue with back to back double gameweeks, and who else do you get from Arsenal?

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

        But Arsenal don't have great form.

        Man. United will rotate but they are still a decent side. So are Southampton.

      2. Yellin' in my Ear
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Ozil?

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

      Find a way to have both imo.

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

      Both Sanchez and Hazard are a must.

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

        Sanchez' form shows he's not a must, but he has high potential if he does get back to normal.

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

          I am just struggling to fit him in:

          Hennessey, Pickford
          Alonso, Bailly, Holgate, Gibson, Yoshida
          Eriksen, King, Alli, Hazard, Davies
          Kane, Benteke, Lukaku

          3.5m itb

          1 FT

          Benteke and Gibson to Costa and Gabriel for a hit seems more sensible

    4. Fuchs Mane Kante
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Will be alot triple (c) this week.

    5. Cookie Kid
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I have to triple captain

      BB37

      Feel like there's no other option!

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

    Lucas' pass was the biggest hit and hope ever 😆

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

      In fairness he spotted the run and it was a decent=ish ball in.

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

        This. A tad late recognizing the run, but put it in a decent enough spot for Can to do something with it. Beautiful goal.

  18. Lone Wolf
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Who would you bench this GW?

    a) Sane - sure start after he was rested
    b) Jesus - not fit 100% yet and a risk of a cameo(?)

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

      Sane

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

      I'm benching Sane.

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

      Sane

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

    Would Hazard home to Middlesbrough be a better captaincy to alexis in a dgw?

    1. DR0GBA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Captaining Hazard is always risky imo. He doesn't always get involved with the goals, but when he does he's FPL fire.

      Statistics of both teams say he's probably a better option this GW though

    2. Lone Wolf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      no

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

        Why an inform player in an inform team vs a poor team at home to a poor form player in a poor form team

        1. Lone Wolf
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          lets agree to disagree

  20. Foozeball
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Brings back happy memories of Can's FPL performance against Bournemouth. I had him in my team at the time 🙂

  21. FPL Puppy
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Who would you bench?

    Alli, Sanchez, Eriksen, King, Hazard
    Kane, Lukaku, Gabbiadini

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

      Lukaku

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

      Eriksen.

    3. DR0GBA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Lukaku or Gabbi

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

      Flukaku

    5. Fuchs Mane Kante
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Eric or Gabbi.

    6. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years

      Thanks all 🙂

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

      Deary me you have problems sorry. No WC?

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

        It's not that bad?

      2. Stupendous

        8 years, 11 months ago

        Hazard Alli Kane Costa King Sane Jesus Vardy all beg to differ.

      King and Rashford poss the best you can do...

    Chasing 30-odd points in my ML.

    Leader has Costa. Do I get Vardy (to go along with Kane and Jesus as a differential, or do I get Costa and seek a differential elsewhere??

      Depends on the rest of your team.

      Vardy a good choice but maybe you can find a better one in midfield.

        Thanks mate - team would be as follows:

        Heaton, Jakupovic
        Valencia, Davies, Robertson, Stephens, Wilson
        Sanchez, Hazard, Alli, King, Carroll
        Kane, Jesus, (Costa/Vardy)

        Defence a bit of a mess but will deal week after for GW37

          Midfield looks good. Go with Vardy then.

    2. InSaneMan-e

      Vardy is a good shout as a differential imo
      His gw 37 fixtures are tricky but either side could haul

    Think I've just found the perfect WC team, I'm only £9.2m shy of affording it as well!

    Anyone going without Jesus?

    I feel like I missed another party this year as usual.

      I'm still waiting to find him.

        I severely doubt you are going to find Jesus on Babestation 😉

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

          I'll keep looking just incase you're wrong.

      party just started.

    3. Forza Papac

      The secular route is not advised

      No, you are the only one

    5. Ospina Colada
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Will probably bring in for GW37

    No one worried about Gabbiadini not starting?
    Didn't do much last time out and against Liverpool surely Long for the counter makes more sense.
    Long was also effective in the league cup earlier in the season.

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

      Definitely worried.

      Too late to change things nite though:(

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

      Thats the worry that has him out of my team.

      1. InSaneMan-e
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Agreed
        Downgrading to an enabler allows God strengthening elsewhere

    Going without Alexis allows Costa Hazard Alonso, it could work out very well!

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

      Get rid of Costa

    2. WE ARE RANGERS
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I have all 4 and 0.2 itb

      Pickford Hennessey
      Darmian Davies Alonso Stephens Holgate
      Hazard Sanchez Alli Sane King
      Vardy Jesus Costa

      1. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        damn your TV is lit mate!

    3. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      But with 2 doubles it could also backfire a lot
      Especially his fixtures in 37
