The Gameweek begins within the cauldron of Goodison Park and a Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool.

From a Fantasy perspective, the main interest surrounds absent friends as Mohamed Salah misses out with a groin injury and Roberto Firmino is rested to the bench.

That pair are the two most-owned players in Fantasy Premier League, though they were also the most sold ahead of today’s deadline.

Even with those sales, over 1.9 million managers still own both Salah and Firmino and will now be looking to their bench for reinforcement.

Liverpool make five changes in all, with Andrew Robertson another to miss out. A calf problem puts pay to the left-back who, like Salah, goes into Tuesday’s Champions League second leg with Manchester City as a doubt.

Robertson was brought in by 61,000+ managers ahead of Gameweek 32, making him the third-most bought defender last time out.

Sadio Mane does start for the visitors and will go in search of his sixth successive return having produced three goals and three assists over his last five Gameweeks.

As for Everton, they make just one change, though Fantasy interest in their line-up is much reduced following the blanks of Gameweek 31. Wayne Rooney (10.1%) remains their most owned player, with Jordan Pickford (7.9%) likely to be the most popular among active squads.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      1st sub so Firmino will make a 1pt cameo

      Depends on your team.

      ye looks like a great DGW for Lukaku

      Thinking the same. not looking so good for me for bb

    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    7 DGW playes, feeling Quitely confident. May add an 8th but don't really want to use one FT to get a Burnley defender in this week. Gives me 8 players in 35 so can be 10 with 2 free transfers though and easy -4 can give me 11 in 35 and then 2 more FT will give me BB of 15 DGW in 37. 0.9 ITB

    Sound like a plan?

    This cobbled together Liverpool team still looks way too good for Everton.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Let's face it, a decent pub side would be too good for Everton, right now! 😉

      1. Pasqualinho
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I’m in a decent pub now. I’ll ask around.

  11. RÏɠBY
    • 14 Years

    this would be a perfect time for virgil to score one of those headers he keeps messing up

    1. Punty McPuntface
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Tuesday would be better

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      He scored in the FA cup against Everton, so there is hope

  12. CarsonYeung
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    It is extremely satisfying going on to the my team tab and seeing it full of DGWers, hope it delivers

    1. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      is there a double GW coming up? 🙂

  13. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Ideally this match should end 0 - 0 with no Firmino appearance

    1. RÏɠBY
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      that'd work for me 😉

    2. Over Midwicket
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      1-1 Ings and Davies

    3. Naboo
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Less likely than Salah appearance

  14. Waynoo
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Big Sam should have stayed retired

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years

      Correct

  15. @fpl_phenom
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Bench Boost GW34 Team. 3 moves planned.

    Alonso > Christensen
    Bailly > Smalling
    Aubamayang > Kane

    Good plan or something different?...

    DDG Ryan
    Christensen* Smalling* Morgan Tarkowski Lowton
    Salah Mahrez Son Willian Gross
    Lukaku Kane* Barnes

  16. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Stroke of luck for me. My mini league rival has all his 'Pool, and captained Salah, vice-captain Eriksen, will get Rashford off the bench. I have Son and Kane(c), Sterling on the bench. My Robertson is third on my bench.

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Somehow, I have ended up with nine DGWs, 10 if you count both goalies. More by luck than judgement, that! 😀

      1. Paul Psychic Octopus
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        So many times luck will trump judgment. I know which one I would rather have!

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        Probably. Tbf, I would rather have Eriksen than Son, but I got sucked in.

        1. Rash
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          I'm happy to have son.. I wouldn't be surprised if he outscored Alli erik over rest of season

  17. jia you
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    I might actually buy Salah next week just to be different and the fact that I've no FH for 35! After City beat them 5-1 in CL that is 🙂

    1. RÏɠBY
      • 14 Years

      can i have what you're smoking..

    2. Rash

      Think I'll just keep him 🙂

  18. Cityzen Kane
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Holy crap.
    Guy in my league made no transfers for months, but did kane to Auba today AND triple capped Auba.
    WTFFFFFFFFF

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

      He had a dream that Auba scored 5 goals and Kane got injured in the 14th minute

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe he just came out of a coma?

  19. Naboo
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Best player in the game (possibly FPL history) misses one game.
    Selling would lose 0.8 value.
    2FTs for DGW 34 if saved.
    Barnes on bench.
    Easiest save of the season for me.
    Good luck the sellers, FH35 value could hit hard.

    1. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Agree.

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      This is the view I came to.

      Only benefit of getting rid for this GW would be Alli's points score over someone like Lowton this afternoon.

      Holding means more information on all teams ahead of DGW, watch Man C Pool game on. Can still use 2FTs in tandem and lose Salah for GW34.

      why dump smalling ?

      1. Dacra

        Not nailed.

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

    A rival just wildcarded this team and he has no FH left, what would you rate this?

    Pickford / Pope
    Lindelof / Lowton / Trippier / VVD / Ward
    Mane / Mahrez / Son / Lingard / Young
    Kane / Murray / Firmino

    Surely he isn’t aware of the BB and GW35 /37?

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years

      id love to have that guy as a rival

      He's a rival?

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

        I know. He had the Aguero (c) when he got 4 goals

    3. Clump
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      P!$$ poor.

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

        That’s what I thought. He is convinced he will beat me and has a ‘plan’ for GW36 despite only owning 5 players

        1. Sánchez
