The curtailed Gameweek 35 concludes at Goodison Park tonight as Everton host Newcastle United in a fixture that has all the makings of a dead rubber.

The two teams are now surely safe from the threat of relegation and appear to be playing for Premier League prize money only over the remaining matches.

But from a Fantasy perspective, there is still interest in the Merseyside clash, with Free Hit managers investing in the likes of Jordan Pickford, Leighton Baines and Seamus Coleman in their one-week refresh.

All start for the home side tonight.

Meanwhile, those without the chip at their disposal, likely take Magpies assets into this match, with Ayoze Perez, Kenedy and budget defender Paul Dummett among the most likely to feature in squads.

Indeed, Perez is the most signed player on show tonight, having commanded over 133,000+ transfers in ahead of Saturday’s deadline.

That follows a rich vein of form from the Spaniard which has produced three goals and three two assists from his last three Gameweek starts.

Perez sits behind Islam Slimani in the attack tonight, with the Algerian starting a Premier League match for Newcastle for the first time since his loan move from Leicester City.

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

    Would really like some City coverage:

    DDG
    Smalling - Bailly - Lowton
    Salah - Son - Willian - Mahrez
    Kane - Vardy - Barnes

    Ryan - Groß - Dunk - Chilwell

    1FT and 0 ITB

    Baily + Mahrez > Vertongen + Sterling for DGW37?

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

      I'm considering these exact transfers apart from Bailly being Alonso, very undecided since Mahrez could be a huge differential

    2. Concrete

      Looks good

    3. @fpl_phenom

      will you do bailly to vertonghen this week? Bailly not nailed and vertonghen a better fixture...

    Now back to the template GW32 WC team 🙁

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      🙂 at least we've got XI DGW'ers already - just a case of shifting some City in..

  3. Legomané

    WC BB FH have been a massive let down the last 3 wks...gone from 14pts behind to 30 ahead of rival but he's basically just completely winged it and has WC BB and TC in hand for the run in. Cant believe I only picked up 16pts on his 8 players (Mariappa, Walcott + co) this week. So much promise...such an average return, almost as disappointing as last wks BB squad (albeit 25 of my 98 were from the bench) 🙁

    Good news is I'm up from 117k > 49k (projected) in the last 2 wks 🙂

    Good luck with your exam tomorrow Andy FTW! Now get off this and do some more work

      Thanks mate 🙂

      1. true_Jerry

        kinda sad I didn't get top of the page ngl

  5. DR0GBA

    Is Vardy a better option than Jesus?

    City mids seem to be the best option from City but Jesus has much better goals per min than Vardy

    1. Concrete
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Leicester poor recently

      Jesus better, imo

    2. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I'd prefer Jesus for sure. Cost has bound to pay a factor too though.

      1. true_Jerry
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        nah get Jesus in, you got rid of vardy anyway

        1. true_Jerry
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          actually never mind, Mahrez -> sterling

    3. Cheeky Onion
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I have Vardy + Mahrez but no city coverage. Thinking of Mahrez > Sterling and sticking with Vardy. If a straight pick between Vardy and Jesus then I'd defiantly go for Jesus

    4. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yes. But there's a price difference to consider

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Whoops, I mean no*

    5. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      happy to keep vardy. no city cover neither. will do salah to kdb and maybe mahrez to sterling, just in case you re interested 🙂

  6. Scotty B

    When will Walcott winning goal baps go on?

    1. Sánchez
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Think it's done

    2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Walcott not getting any bonus atm... keane 3...baines 2....Jagielka 1

  7. Concrete
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Lukaku to
    A Kane
    B Jesus

    1. Prøfeßör …
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. MTPockets
      8 years, 3 months ago

      That's tough. Probably B.

    3. seanraggettheader
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Kane but ideally I'd love both A+B in my team going into the DGW.

      Kane gets the nod because Watford (H) is so great.

    4. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      kane by miles for me

    5. I Member

  9. abaalan
    • 10 Years

    Alonso + Gross -> Dumett + Sterling?

    For a hit?

    1. Concrete
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling prob worth over next 4 games

    Why do FPL take so long add the bonus points and update the rankings? Never understood why it takes so long. Only 1 game tonight as well.

    1. Nascimento

      8 years, 3 months ago

      It's not as easy as you'd think. We have to perform various checks, red tape exercises and procedures. A lot of people have a lot riding on this and the fact that we offer prizes also complicates matters given it leads to us being audited by governing bodies. Despite all this it's only a few hours. Do understand the frustration though and thank you for your patience.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 12 Years

        i personnally dont care. people just dont have patience anymore 🙂

          Cheers mate. Ideally, we'd like it condensed a little too but do have to follow certain orders from the powers that be.

    Would love some help from the famed FFS community!

    Just managed to sneak past major rival in ML by 5 points this week after captaining Sterling.

    Rival has Sane + Sterling, should I:

    A) Bring in Sane (adv. of blocking rival's points)
    B) Bring in KdB (adv. of potential for less rest over DGW?)

    1. StayoutheSpiceZone
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Sane

      1. Mondeo
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers mate!

    2. Concrete
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Sane

      1. Mondeo
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Appreciate it boss!

    3. Prøfeßör …
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I prefer B or David Silva if money is not an issue.

      1. Mondeo
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I love DSilva but if I was him I know where I'd rather be now its all wrapped up (aka with son in Spain!)

    4. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      As an isolated option, KDB.

      But I'm sure the funds will impact your other options, so it's tricky. David Silva maybe? Mendy back is bad for Sane

      1. Mondeo
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Not too much impact at this stage - selling Mane with 1.2m ITB so KdB definitely on the cards!

        Cheers for the reply

    5. No Luck
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      5 pts is nothing. Play normally and pick whoever you think will score more. If you build up 50pt lead or something then maybe think about blocking etc.

    6. Prøfeßör …
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Btw, 5 points is nothing.

    7. Sánchez
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      5 is nothing, do whatever you think gets points

      1. Mondeo
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        100% agree - but has been such an epic struggle to claw back 130 points in this ML that I almost don't know what to do now I've broken the summit!

        He has laid the perfect mental trap haha

        Appreciate the call out re: forget the 5 points though - cheers Sanchez & @Prof Bear & @No Luck

    8. Richd
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      My advice: ignore the rival and just play as you normally would. It’s too close.

      1. Mondeo
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Very fair - I guess I'm looking to mitigate risk as much as possible, hard to know exactly which City Mid will go gangbusters this week vs next..

        Do you have a preferred option or are you in the Jesus camp?

  13. StayoutheSpiceZone
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    BB and TC left

    Current team

    Karius fab
    Maguire dunk Mustafi Lejeune chilwell
    Salah Kenedy Zaha Walcott* sterling
    Kane Jesus Wilson*

    The * players coming out for Eriksen and j Ayew GW37

    Strategies appreciated for TC and BB please

  14. Arctic monkeys
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Salah non owners, are you getting him after the FH ?

    Just saw an interview of him after winning the player of the year, the guy is really thinking about breaking records.

    1. MTPockets
      8 years, 3 months ago

      nope

    2. Concrete
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      In 38 prob

    3. StayoutheSpiceZone
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      No chance

      Home to BHA last game, straight shootout with Kane that day

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

      I expect him to get points, but I'd rather go for a DGW player like Eriksen or Sterling

      1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Won't captain in 37 so no point taking -8 to bring him in for Stoke

    5. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      No. Maybe 38 but unlikely. CL will maybe swing it though.

    6. Sánchez
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Who?

      1. Arctic monkeys
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        The muslim Messi

    7. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Not in my wildcard team

      May get him 38

  15. Norman Conquest
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    16 points from tonights game i wasn't expecting that thanks and laterz wally

  16. seanraggettheader
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    65+ a sneaky 7 off the bench with Barnes in for Sane.

    Looks good, but next week is a tricky one when I'm back to the normal team. Will be Kane (c) I think, and will have an eye on the Liverpool team with no Salah... but very tempted for Mahrez --> Sterling & Lukaku --> Jesus (-4) as I'm sure a few will be.

  17. arndff_
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    GW36: Ryan, Willian, Lukaku to 3.9, Sterling, Jesus (-8)
    GW37: Morgan, Barnes to VdH J Ayew (-4)

    Yay or Nay? And why?

  18. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    to say my gw36 relies on anfield express is an understatement 🙂

  19. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Mahrez, Vardy and Auba
    To
    JWP(5th mid), Jesus and Kane -8?

    Crazy or will pay off?

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Kane or Jesus need to brace, dodgy man

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah it is. Gives me a front 3 of Kane, Lukaku and Jesus for 37 BB. I’d be playing Arnie instead of JWP this coming week.

  20. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Kane likely to rise tonight?

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      no

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

    My rival has Sterling and Jesus whilst I have Mahrez and Vardy

    We are on the exact same amount of points after tonight

    I'll be bricking it come Sunday during the City game

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      both yours players will start, his might not

      1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        All 4 will start

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

        Yeah I was thinking about that but will Jesus really not start? The reason everyone was getting him in was because he was guaranteed starts

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          everyone is not always right 🙂

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      So you should

  22. Respect My Authoritah
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Even though it seemingly makes sense to do Lukaku -> Jesus, I think we all know that Lukaku is going to go and get his highest score of the season this week. We never learn

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      i m keeping. home to a weakened arsenal side is a good fixture. might even keep him all season

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Even a full strength Arsenal side is a great fixture this season tbh. Worst away team in England

    2. MTPockets
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I thought that vs WBA.

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I didn't for once second tbh. WBA had something to play for, United didn't

      2. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        haha touche !

  23. FF Dirtbag
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    What needs to be done here:
    1ft and 0.6 in the bank.

    DDG
    Smalling Robertson Lowton
    Salah Mahrez Willian Eriksen
    Lukaku Vardy Barnes

    Ryan; Gross, tarkowski, morgan

    Mahrez - > Sterling for free?

  24. Tabbara
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Current team:

    De Gea Ryan
    Alonso Bailly Morgan Vertoghen Lowton
    Gross Lingard Willian Mahrez Salah
    Austin Vardy Kane

    Which option is better:
    A)Smalling and Sterling for Mahrez and Bailly(-4)
    B)Van der hoon/fernandez and Sterling for Mahrez and Bailly (-4)

    If b) i could save some money and put it in midfield
    Thx

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A

  25. Lee8686
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Thinking of doing

    Auba & Arnie > Barnes & Erikson

    Silly idea?

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah, I think so

  26. Naboo
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Alonso & Gross > Naughton & Sterling (-4)

    Yes or no? Will be priced out if sterling rises and gross is dropping too (desperate to get rid)

  27. stat
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone holding on to Lukaku for one last GW?
    Arsenal's away record is terrible and they'll probably rotate in between EL semi-final legs.

    1. Sánchez
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Haha. See below.
      Not just holding.
      May even captain.

    2. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      if we get the nod salah starts i will be keeping kaku 1 more week otherwise i will be doing kaku to kane

  28. Sánchez
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Lukaku (c) a bit too high risk if chasing? Rival doesn't have him at all

    He's against an arsenal side who keep losing away and have Europa semis either side of the game.

    1. stat
      8 years, 3 months ago

      He's my VC, I think Eriksen vs WAT will score more pts

      1. Sánchez
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Hope not. I don't have Eriksen and rival does

    2. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I think Wenger will win his last game against Mourinho, but he could his usual 6 pointers

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      i m keeping lukaku but might not captain him. going pogba this gw is af confirms he plays. otherwise eriksen

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam

      Morata would be too high risk. Lukaku seems a decent option if chasing, despite recent let downs.

    As a Sané owner, I’m very worried by how well BSilva played and his chances of starting next game.

    Worth doing Sané > Eriksen for free?

      Eriksen is a good option but I think Sane will start next one

      Gotta keep now surely? No other priorities? My issue with Sane is he tends to play too wide but he will still get points. He should start, there will surely be rotation.

      Sane was rested so assume he'll start next game. But Pep.
