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.

    Could really do with an Everton clean sheet, a Lascelles red, Slimani coming off after 59 and a Kenedy brace

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      That all?

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        Quite reasonable imo.

      2. Nascimento
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        It's a start.

      An Everton clean sheet n Kenedy brace?

      1. Nascimento
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        Yes please!!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 day ago

          How’s that work then

          1. Nascimento
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 1 day ago

            How d'you mean?

            Brace of og's

  2. TomSaints

    Apparently some 0.2% of the top 10k, or 200 managers, are playing their captain tonight?

    Wonder which rogue player they went with.

    1. Rash
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Elliot with laca vice

    2. Guy Demel
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Tosun

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Pickford or Tosun

    4. tambourineman
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      It's 0.18% which is 18 managers as follows:
      Tosun 7
      Perez 6
      Kenedy 3
      Baines & Coleman 1 each

    5. Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      yeah that would be 20 not 200

  3. @fpl_phenom

    Game so far sums up the premier league season on the whole for me.

    Unadventurous unappealing football, teams content to play it safe and play the long tactical game like it’s a game of chess, which usually ends up in a dreary stalemate for the most part.

    You’d think with both teams safe there would be a bit of desire and some football will break out at some point.

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Shhhhh. We want nothing to happen

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years

      Need to get rid of dinosaurs like BFS

      Just kills any joy in watching a game

    3. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      You’re a legend. All 4m playing defenders are legends

    4. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      We'll have to make it 4 points for a win at this rate.

      If you think all chess is like that, go and watch Mikhail Tal playing in his prime.

        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        I'd go with Willian, think he has the higher ceiling.

        1. Gazzpfc

          DDG
          Smalling Lowton Tark
          Sterling Salah Pogba Son
          Vardy Kane Barnes

          Bench Ryan Willian Alonso Morgan

          Thinking for a -8 alonso and willian for silva and davies

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 1 day ago

            I'd be worried David Silva might decide to cash in on some compassionate leave, now that they've had their celebratory match at home.

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

          Usually there is a comment that people with rmt:s when game is on should get a ban... Try later with better timing.

      2. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        Lowton or Morgan to a SWA defender ahead of DGW37 perhaps

    4. Numb

      0-0

    5. CloudSky

      What position is that Kennedy lad playing? CM? CAM?

      Good enabler for 37?

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        LM but roams into central positions quite a bit.

      Well done to those on FH with triple Newcastle defence. If Paddy Power were controlling FPL they would have paid out the CS points for Newcastle already.

      dilemma this week. Which 2 to bench?

      A) Mili
      B) Kenedy
      C) Dummet
      D) Lowton
      E) Barnes

      1. Rash
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

    8. Rash
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Jayew or Zaha for 37? (Already have zaha)

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        Get Zaha twice.

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

          1. Rash
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 1 day ago

            Too similar to zaza and we know how bad he was

        3. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 day ago

          Que Zaha Zaha...whatever will be will be...

      2. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        Tough decision but seeing as you've already got Zaha I'd go Jayew.

        1. Rash
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 day ago

          So you'd sell Zaha for ayew?

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 1 day ago

            It's another sarcastic answer, fella 🙂

      3. Jairzinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        So you’re asking if you should transfer Zaha to Ayew?

        No imo

        1. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 day ago

          Spoilsport.

        2. Rash
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 day ago

          Yeah.. salah sterling Silva son Zaha*
          Kane Jesus Barnes*

          No point selling Barnes if I keep 5 man midfield..

    9. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    14. Cityzen Kane
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Need Kenedy to not get a yellow to hit 2100 overall points in FPL..

      99.9% certain I'll finish on 2099

      1. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        Have you factored in CS point

        1. Cityzen Kane
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 day ago

          Nooooo.. Good point.
          Might make it so..

          Enviable disappoinment I'm sure as I've given up hope of attacking return

      2. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        I'm on 2094 so 6 points from Baines is all I need

      4. Fred54

      2 teams with nothing to play for, you would think at least think they would try to play some entertaining football instead of that pile of shite they served up in the 1st half
