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.

    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
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Shhhhh. We want nothing to happen

    2. Syd.

      Need to get rid of dinosaurs like BFS

      Just kills any joy in watching a game

    3. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years

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

    4. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months 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.

    Sometimes you just have to sit back and laugh. I couldn't write this stuff.
    Looking through the match report today, see Kenedy and Dummett both blanked. Whatever. Scroll to the bottom, Kenedy has a 91st minute yellow card. Come on, just drag those salty balls across my lifeless fantasy corpse.

    1. BobBradleysOpportunity

      he was very lucky it wasn't red.

      1. Postman Ty
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        That would have been just delightful. Maybe I'll look it up for a chuckle.

  3. Planet Jo

    Baines take a penalty if Everton get one and Tosun off?

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Him or Rooney.

      1. Limbo
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Roon first

        1. Planet Jo
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Depends if Everton want to miss it or score

      2. Point-one short

        1. Point-one short
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Rooney, not you.

      3. OldBenKenobi
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Rooney has had his chances 😉

    2. doublyG

      Don't get greedy

    3. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yes

    4. _Greg

      90%

  4. Rainer

      7 years, 7 months ago

      Good for you, Rainer. I was set on that combo, then got stupid, and switched Coleman to Bellerin. So, hedging cost me this time around. I will take my semi gains and go home.

    Walcott chosen on sky sports tv. Probably the same as sky fantasy?

    Anyone planning to distribute their hits for the next two weeks?

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years

      distribute them where?

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Someone else's team, I hope

    2. Third Eye Vision
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Considering it. Thinking of a -8, then a -4.

    3. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      well if you are i'll have your free ones

  7. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I wouldn't call this game "dead rubber" as stated above.

    Big Sam needs wins to get the Everton fans onside. He'll make the team highly motivated.

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years

      OR some people have Baines and some not 😀

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Baines and Coleman 😀

      1. Deulofail

        Account was hacked about 2 hours 45 mins ago. That would explain that

    OR 892

    Maybe it's the highest one I've ever reached.

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years

      Well done!
      Don't stop pushing

      1. arndff_
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks, mate!

        However, I'm about to make a -8, so it's an inevitable slip -- outside of top 1k.

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Well played mate
      I climbed from 41k to 19k which is nowhere near you but I’m chuffed enough.

      Trouble is with no chips left it can only go down from here!

      1. arndff_
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks. Good luck!

    3. CRO KLOPP

      Congrats mate
      I'm in the top 5 k

      1. arndff_
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks and congrats to you too!

        Did you make any transfers? I'm about to hit the button...

        Ryan Willian Lukaku > 3.9 Sterling Jesus (-8!!!)

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I did mahrez to sterling

          These moves are good, long-term they should pay off,maybe you will fall a bit in 36 but you will be well set for 37

          1. arndff_
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Barnes > J Ayew @37

    4. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years

      Congrats! Still got any chips?

      1. arndff_
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        TC only. Will use it at GW37 -- Kane/Jesus are the main candidates.

    64pts to get into top 100k

  10. Planet Jo

    I love this free hit! Chips with everything!!!

    Lacazette, Ings, Jesus, Silva, Sterling, Salah, Monreal, Coleman, Hennessey. Might get to 94pts

    I wish it could be Christmas every day.

    1. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      That's boner worthy.

      1. Duffy Dunk
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I'd freehit that.

    2. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      ... when the Ings starts scoring and the rest turn up to plaaaaay!

  11. Tiki-Taka
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Everton are absolutely abysmal, get Big Sam out

  12. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Mahrez->Sterling for -4 worth it to avoid price rise?

    1. Baked baines
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Price rises are irrelevant this time of the season!

      1. Ibracadabra
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        It's an issue for me though as I could sell Mahrez (8.8) to Sterling (8.9) for free but I would prefer to sell SALAH if he was rumoured to be out this weekend, and keep Mahrez, so it is making me hold off, which could make me miss out on Raheem entirely.

        1. Toby Lerone
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Sane will play the next gw he could be worth a go?

  13. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    OR updated

    1. Sz21
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      41k-> 22k from FH.

      Prob better off if the season ends just now with only BB left and a very dodgy squad in place atm.

  14. Dybala10
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Who to start?

    A) Austin (BOU H)
    B) Gudmundsson (BRI H)
    C) Long (BRI H) - already playing Lowton.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I'd go in that order.

      Saints have to start Austin in the league now, BOU love conceding.

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A. If Austin is fit.

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Gudmundsson..Brighton awful away so there will be goals

  15. arndff_
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Who'll score more at 36-37?

    A) Willian
    B) Mahrez

    1. stat
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Was literally about to post this. A IMO

        1. stat
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Oh wait. I just realized you said 36-37
            Probably Mahrez as he's likely to play more minutes

          • 15 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          In one mini league I’m tied top in, both of us have had exactly the same points last 2, and will be again tonight after autosub. What are the chances?

          1. Limbo
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            And IF you’re tied first end of season how is it decided?

            1. Hooky
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Rock, paper, scissors

            2. Bartowski
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Least amount of transfers wins

              1. Limbo
                • 15 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                Would prefer rock, paper, scissors

          2. Team Cruel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            If you've got the same players then the chances are extremely high.

            1. Limbo
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Probably should have noted we've had 4/5 same players but not all.

            A couple of seasons ago I lost my mini league by one point. Thought I'd won and then Rashford got an extra two bonus points for my rival for the game winning goal.

              It's super annoying. Have to zoom all the time now.
              Its at the bottom of the page as well.

              Page loads normal as well, then shifts to this ad issue ( I lose the right hand side triple dot menu as well

              hi, thanks for the report. is the problem still occurring?

              if so could you please email the following details to matw@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk

              1. a screenshot which shows the ad on the page (not the popover). on mobile this is currently only the spot at the top of the page, unless sidebar is expanded then its 2 sidebar Ads too. on desktop it could be any of top Ad, Sidebar Ads or Footer Ad.

              2. the device, browser, country and connection type (wifi/adsl/cable or mobile carrier) your using.

              3. if possible the landing page url (of the Ad not the popover or redirect).

              any of the above will help me to track down the Ad so that it can be blocked. our ad network also has automated tools for removing such ads so it *should* just disappear hopefully quite quickly either way.

              thanks.
