After yet another goal from Mohamed Salah in Liverpool’s draw at The Hawthorns, Saturday comes to an early conclusion as Watford entertain Crystal Palace at 3pm.

The Eagles’ duo Wilfried Zaha and Luka Milivojevic were among the top seven most bought players for a reduced Gameweek 35 that saw over 154,000 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Free Hit chips played.

More than 183,000 managers acquired Zaha, who has served up three goals and two assists in the last five Gameweeks, with 21 points in his previous two outings.

Meanwhile, dead-ball specialist Milivojevic has 38 points over the last four, supplementing three goals and a pair of assists with nine bonus in that run.

They now collide with a Hornets defence that’s conceded 30 goals in front of their own fans – no side have allowed more.

The hosts have failed to catch the eye in recent weeks, with Javi Gracia turning to a 4-4-2 today in an attempt to solve a run of three goals in the last five Gameweeks.

Roberto Pereyra’s form has been the one crumb of comfort – the former Juventus man has netted two of those strikes and is looking to score for the third successive match at Vicarage Road today.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

          How many more mins left?

  10. Desperately Seeking Dusan
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 13 days ago

    There must be one hell of a lot of ghost teams out there if Kane and Lukaku are the 2nd and 3rd most captained players overall this week.

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      just saw a mate in my minileague with only 5 playing

      lukaku c vardy vc 😆

    2. Bielsa's Blue Bucket

      benchwonkery. Guarantee the VC are on playing players

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

        i never have the balls to do this even in a blank gw lol......somehow it would backfire

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Even the 'Live' teams from FFX suffer from this:

      Salah 49.5%
      Jesus 7.5%
      Kane 7%
      Aubameyang 7%
      Lukaku 5.7%
      Sterling 5.1%
      Firmino 3.5%

  11. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 13 days ago

    Deeney 1st on my bench, mainly for the aesthetic yellow jersey.

    Find them cajones Troy!

  12. Jairzinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 13 days ago

    I’d imagine most are in a similar position to me: free hitting this week, and have no Man City players after this week.

    Who are you planning on getting in and who are they replacing?

    1. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      I’m looking at Sterling for Pogba for 36.

      I’ll consider another in 37 probably. Maybe Jesus for Lukaku, maybe a defender.

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Will get in 3 City in GW37 for a -4.

    3. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Jesus since I don’t trust rotation of others. I will have to ditch Alonso to get him in though. Not that that’s a bad thing.

      1. BERGKOP
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

        Who will you replace Alonso with?

    4. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      I took a -8 to get in Sterling, Jesus and Gundo...

    5. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Have dsilva in my non-FH team, looking to get Sterling and Jesus in.

    6. Naboo
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Sterling for sure. Maybe one more

      1. Naboo
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

        For Pogba, Willian or Mahrez

  13. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 13 days ago

    You know your rank is awful when Salah non capped and two awful Pool defenders gives you a 20k jump in rank.

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Lol

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      I think at one stage we were similarly ranked, thankfully I've found a late kick and managed to push on.

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

        Worst thing is I ate up 40 points on you last week but still nowhere close.

        1. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 13 days ago

          Hell of a BB mate, my FH heh. Sanchez (C)...oh dear.

  15. Positive vibes

    Lukaku -> G Jesus
    For free and keep until end of season.
    Yes or no?

    Thanks 🙂

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Before GW35.

    2. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Yes

      1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

        If you mean taking out Gabby and bringing in Lukaku then no. The key clue is the “kak” in Lukaku’s name. He’s an expensive Jamie Vardy.

        1. Positive vibes
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 13 days ago

          Taking out Lu"kak"u, replace him with G Jesus.

    3. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years

      no brainer

    4. melvinmbabazi

      no

  16. Rainer

    Kaka bar
    Deeney cross

  17. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
    • 12 Years

    1 from 1 so far.

    On the road to double digits.

  18. Team Cruel

    Ville Ronke in tears, Deeney assist denied.

    1. delux
      • 13 Years

      he's good! didn't bring any LIV defenders on free hit

    Just realised I got a CS point for Mane. Sole upside in a disappointment.

    1. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years

      Same here..

  21. TAT
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 13 days ago

    Palace will not keep a clean sheet will they? Watford's been dangerous more than once already.

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      hope as I made Henn > Butland today

      1. TAT
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

        Really unsure about Butland, but couldn't see anyone I rather wanted in goal on FH.

        1. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 13 days ago

          yep

    How many managers in top 10k played FH this week does anybody know?

    1. Manchesterford Utd
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      30.9 %

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Thanks both. Thought it might have been higher

        1. grumpyman
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 13 days ago

          98% in top 10k have played it now, so it couldn't really have been any higher.

    2. tiger

    2. faux_C
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Yeah, he's only scored 31 PL goals this seson, and he cost a whopping 9.0m.

      WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!
