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.

    Anyone else struggling with too much money in midfield and a poo defence after the DGW34?
    I'm going to have a fair bit of cash on my bench until the end of the season. Guess that was the downside of going big in 34.

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 hours ago

      A hit or two and I am sure you could use that cash up pretty quick 🙂

      1. Johnny Leghorn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 19 hours ago

        Not really as the replacements will still be on my bench. Going to take a -16 to get that cash back into circulation.
        Can't decide if I want a big front 3 or big midfield. Can't have them both. And my def is crap.
        I guess my bench may come into play with rotation so I can't afford it to be too cheap.

    2. Bellybig
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 hours ago

      If I learnt anything this season, it's that maximizing my cash output does not always lead to success.

      Last week I could have maxed my cash by having De Bruyne. Instead I went for Silva and had enough cash for Hennessy on the bench. Came on for Cech.

      Dgw Grob and Lingard did well for me.

      1. Bellybig
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 19 hours ago

        To reply your qns, taking hits is not advisable. Who knows your subs may come in handy? Barnes came on this GW for some.

  2. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 19 hours ago

    Another hit before 37 gives me this
    The pre 37 moves would be
    Mahrez and Murray to
    Sterling and J.Ayew
    No chips so looking to get a strong 11 and hope they all play.
    Thoughts or different pre 37 moves you would make?

    DeGea

    Smalling Mustafi Morgan

    Sanchez Son Sterling Sane

    Kane Vardy J. Ayew

    Ryan Gudmundsson Tark Lowton

    1. Johnny Leghorn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 hours ago

      All your bench play which is great.
      No Arsenal attack may hurt you as they are scoring at will at home.
      And who knows what Spurs will do. They have gone off the boil hard.
      I'm waiting to see what happens this weekend before I make my moves.
      A blank from Kane and I may well move him on.

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 19 hours ago

        Thanks after previous Sanchez dgw fail I am more likely to lose him that Kane.
        Now thinking the moves above plus Sanchez to Eriksen for a second hit prior to 37.
        Madness or not?

  3. PL Ball
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 19 hours ago

    Which one is more of a priority:

    A) Get Man City assets (No City players at the moment)
    B) Get Kane (Have Eriksen and Son)

    I guess A, but Kane captainers have me worried.

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 19 hours ago

      The City players have already had a few price rises so I think it would be more prudent to get Kane first, espec. for this GW.

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 19 hours ago

      A based on form

    3. QPRUTD
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 hours ago

      A

    4. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 hours ago

      Kane in my opinion, Watford at home is a plumb fixture and I wouldnt go without Kane for the double.

    5. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 17 hours ago

      Kane, if Salah doesnt start hes best captain option.

    6. Runaway
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 14 hours ago

      I am in the same position and I will go B as he is the best captain option this week. I would not captain any of City assets because of the possibility of being benched.

  4. Nigawan

    4 weeks ago I was pushing for the top 1k.

    Now I'm struggling to stay in the top 10k.

    🙁

    1. QPRUTD
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 hours ago

      Used up your chips earlier in the season?

      1. Ruinenlust
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 18 hours ago

        I'm using my WC this week and BB GW 37

  6. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 19 hours ago

    Can't believe the City team are going to beat Chelsea's goal scoring record from 09/10.

    I remember that Chelsea team routinely beating teams 6-0, 7-1, 8-2, etc

    1. BRFC1883

      Why can’t you believe it?

  7. umerlfc
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 19 hours ago

    Best GW rank this season with 4,740
    Free Hit definitely worked out really well
    Went from 10k to 4k

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 hours ago

      Boom. Nice one.

    2. Nickemon
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 18 hours ago

      Nice!

  8. Richd
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 19 hours ago

    It’s all about balancing the hits and upside. That’s the key right now.

    Spurs and city are so tempting. But how tempting?

    It wasn’t so long ago everyone’s going for 2/3 che and lei with their double double and now prepared to chuck away 4 points to get rid of each.

    It seems like it could be a trap, and seems like points chasing, yet.. still remains tempting.

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 hours ago

      Timely post. It's very tempting but I only have 35 point ML so should minimize hits but I was just now seriously considering this for -12 pre 37.
      Yes or no?

      Sanchez Mahrez Vardy Murray
      To
      Eriksen Sterling Jesus J.Ayew

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 18 hours ago

        35 is a huge lead and you’re offloading four players who already have a double.

        Personally I’d do a move, maybe consider two but that’s the most.

      2. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 18 hours ago

        Would give 3 Spurs and 3 City attack for 37 + J. Ayew up front that is tempting.

        1. Richd
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 18 hours ago

          Who does your rival have? If he has Vardy and Mahrez and they do finally do something that -12 can be very costly as your leads then only 23. That’s potentially just a TC

          1. Albrightondknight
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 18 hours ago

            I think my team looks better on paper rival does not have Mahrez or Vardy but has Sterling
            So just Mahrez and Murray to Sterling and Ayew seems sensible. Rival also has TC I have no chips left. If I were him I would TC Sterling from his current squad

  9. BrutalLogiC
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 19 hours ago

    0.3ITB, is it really worth -4 for ditching lukaku/mahrez for kane/7.8 (arnaut)

    DDG
    monreal, azpil, smalling
    Salah, mahrez, sterling, son, Willian
    Lukaku, Vardy

    Elliot, long, ayew, Mariap

  10. Me Spurs
    • 8 Years

    Ditch laca? For who? Can't see him playing between 2 EL games

  11. waltzingmatildas
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 18 hours ago

    How does this wc team look?
    Ddg foster
    Vert smalling dunk tarkowski schindler
    Salah sterling lingard grob kenedy
    Kane Jesus Austin

  12. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 18 hours ago

    I have Alonso, Bailly and Morgan in my defense.

    Do we think Bailly or Morgan should play? Or do I have to make a transfer here? I’d really like to save the FT this week.

    The other two defs are Tark and Lowton.

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 18 hours ago

      Tark and/or Lowton would be fine if needed. Surely? They’ll concede a late one and you get 2 pts 😉

      1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 18 hours ago

        True 🙁 But if Morgan also gets his customary 1 pointer, I’m good!

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 18 hours ago

      I'm getting rid of Bailly. Probably to either Jones/Smalling or a Newcastle defender and use the cash to upgrade an attacker. Holding Alonso as I think he comes straight back in for Chelsea after his ban

      1. Kloppen Schloppen
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 17 hours ago

        Same boat. Bailly gotta go!

    3. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 hours ago

      season ending, just take the hit and hope, I wouldn't personally as I have an OR target that I need to achieve.

  13. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 hours ago

    did kaku to Jesus instead of saving ft yesterday, have no other city player. Watch it backfire on my face.

  14. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 hours ago

    so
    3 city
    3 spurs
    2 united( ddg and def)
    j.ayew
    1 SWA def
    1 toon def

    Template for dgw 37?

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 hours ago

      Almost. An attack of Kane Jesus Vardy seems to be the way to go.

      1. Going Home
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 17 hours ago

        Auba? They’ll be out of EL by then

    2. Gazzpfc
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 hours ago

      Arsenal and Chelsea players

  15. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 18 hours ago

    With all 3 doubts this gw, who would you dump first?

    a. Robertson
    b. kiko
    c. morgan

    1. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 hours ago

      all for -8 lol

  16. Evasivo
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 18 hours ago

    Alonso owners, what you all doing?
    Guess he'll be back for the DGW so most likely bench myself

    1. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 hours ago

      should have gotten rid

      1. Evasivo
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 18 hours ago

        Was on Free Hit so couldn't

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 hours ago

      Was on FH too but got rid at start of this week. If he goes mental in 37 so be it. I have had enough.
      Eye test pass. FPL fail - only recently to be fair but for too long now. Will still be tempted to get him at the start of next season. 🙂

    3. Kloppen Schloppen
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 hours ago

      I’ve got Bailly so need to get rid of him first.

      But if I didn’t, I would be removing Alonso for sure

  17. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 hours ago

    Almost set for gw36. Would you change anything?

    DeGea
    Vertonghen Smalling Tarkowski
    Salah(V) Sterling Son Lingard
    Kane(C) Jesus Vardy

    bench: Ryan Milivojevic Morgan VanDerHoorn

    1. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 hours ago

      What you expecting for BUR v bha?

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 18 hours ago

      Mili over Lingard?

  18. jia you
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 hours ago

    After watching that SF replay last night, it's making the Hazard/Kane decision much tougher.
    Stick or twist?
    Getting Kane in and giving him the armband v WAT is tempting. Also I've no MUN for the run-in so Pogba could be a nice differential.

    A. Auba + Hazard to Kane(C) + Pogba (-4)
    B. Stay Kaneless

  19. FPL Footy Show Pod
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 hours ago

    Play DDG (ARS) or Hennessey (LEI) this week?

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 hours ago

      DDG

  20. istanbul05
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 18 hours ago

    De Gea,
    Davies, Lowton, Tark,
    Mahrez, Son, Willian, Lingard,
    Kane, Auba, Vardy.

    Subs: Ryan, Chilwell, Christensen, King.
    1FT and 0ITB.

    Mahrez to Silva this week or save?

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 hours ago

      I'd do the transfer.

  21. Sahil Yadav
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 hours ago

    Lukaku, Vardy to Jesus, Auba for free in 37?

    Will get me

    DDG, Ryan
    Alonso, Maguire, Tark, Lowton, Cedric
    Salah, Mahrez, Son, Willian, Matic
    Jesus, Auba, Barnes

    Triple Captain chip also in tact

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 hours ago

      Just Lukaku to Jesus and use the change to upgrade Willian to a MCI mid.

  22. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 hours ago

    19K gw rank, best by far this season. All hail the Free Hit chip.

    1. Kloppen Schloppen
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 hours ago

      7k gw rank!

      Such a good chip.

  23. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 hours ago

    Was Morgan dropped or rested?

  24. Going Home
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 18 hours ago

    Currently on

    McCarthy (Cech)
    Lowton Otamendi Robertson (Chilwell Long)
    Sterling Son Mili Salah
    Firmino Auba Jesus

    £4.5 itb 1FT

    Thinking Bobby/Auba to Kane. Worth waiting until Friday night for leaked Liverpool team news and the inevitable Kane price rise, right?

  25. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 18 hours ago

    Please tell me Walcott scoring last night was just a bad dream... 😮

    Rival brought him in for his brace in GW25 and has held him through all his blanks...he's WC'ing this wk...why oh why couldn't Theo have waited one more week 🙁

  26. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 18 hours ago

    Who would be the best differential tc pick for gw 37? Hazard? kdb? Any others?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 17 hours ago

      Anyone other than Kane/Jesus

    2. Bragazeti
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 16 hours ago

      Eden Hazard

  27. Kloppen Schloppen
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 hours ago

    Whose the priority?

    Jesus or Sterling? One would be for a hit. Possibly both if Salah not playing

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 hours ago

      Jesus looks more nailed

  28. ooooo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 17 hours ago

    Keep or sell Lukaku?

  29. Champions united
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 17 hours ago

    Mahrez to sterling for a hit

    More i wait nore soty assets will rise 🙁

  30. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 17 hours ago

    I have just realised, the amount we care about whether our players get 2 or 3 bonus points almost makes hits not worth it at all

    Perspective

    1. Kloppen Schloppen
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 hours ago

      Captaincy though
