FPL Question Time – Consult panel ahead of Double Gameweek 35

Fantasy Premier League managers have endured a tough Gameweek 34 and almost certainly have questions for the next round of fixtures.

We are hurtling into the final Double Gameweek of the season with the Bench Boost chip looking the most likely to be deployed.

With the fixtures still appearing tricky to navigate, and the captaincy even harder, we have brought together another panel of managers to help you out.

      Unlucky, at least it’s been a good week to have a bad week

          Obviously want to have a good week every week but don’t want to do badly when average score is 100+

    Is Yoshida a good pick for the doubles?

        You don't rate Southampton's defensive chances then? Need a cheap Simpson replacement, got 4.1 to spend

          It as good as you can get but the whole concept of FPL seems far out to me now after captaining Duffy

          1. Cruz88

            • 8 Years
            5 years, 4 days ago

            I feel your pain. Captained Vardy. Took a -12 including taking Boruc out for Ryan (could've played either Boruc or Leno for more points)

            1. Ask Yourself
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 4 days ago

              Ah man that is rough I admire your bravery admitting and owning it, it wasn’t meant to be a bad move i understand x

                Haha it's fine, swings and roundabouts. I see it as potentially positive in the long run having taken the hits to swap the likes of Pogba and Higuain for Erik and Aguero...though Pogba went and got 15 points too didn't he! Just one of those weeks

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      I think so

  4. Revival

    0 points in total this week from Ryan, Doherty, Jimenez and Deeney....have to laugh!!

    Wildcard team.

    Bring it on.... 🙁

      33 for me with my WC. Also now probably need to take -4 to get rid of Knockaert & a Deeney to BB this week!

  6. JohnnyMagrinho

      Lol.

      60 points seems to be a good score this week

      1. Mysterion
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Well spotted, Hercule

      2. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Decent.

      3. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Average

      4. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Beats my 53.

      5. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Yeah 61 is better than 60 though

    • Ninja Škrtel
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Man I'm totally high right now and realized someone in my league put duffy captain and i just can't stop laughing

    • ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Expected Brighton would get no CS but still somehow bought the idea of double up.

      Onto the next gameweek.

      1. fusen
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        I expected 4 points per defender for the two games. What was surprising was the sheer number of goals conceded.

        Ryan's 4 points would have made sense as a safe keeper pick.

        Duffy in because everyone else had him and most likely 4ish points.

        Then they get absolutely walloped

        1. ZeBestee
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          Right, at least 4 points would have been bad but not this bad. Anyway we learn and move on.

          1. Naboo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 4 days ago

            4 points each would have been good. What I was hoping for given their prices, any CS a huge bonus but wasn't expecting.

    • sully29

      Je ne regrette rien.

      1. Ask Yourself

        Si

        Bravo

    • chaser123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      So, best Duffy replacement for GW35?

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        I will keep.

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Bench and play TC

        1. chaser123
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          Still don't see how saving the bench boost is a good move....are you really thinking Brighton clean sheet in GW36? Or are you going to use all your transfers to get rid of the Brighton defense?

      3. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Literally any defender in the game.

      4. chaser123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Thoughts on a Boly and Doherty double up?

    • Says
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Did the Man U kit manager forget to separate the whites in the wash?

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Possibly the worse kit ever

        1. Marvin Moon
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          Both of the Liverpool away kits in 13/14 were an absolute travesty. We didn't deserve the title on that basis alone.

        2. The Train Driver
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          Worst*

    • Webbinho
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      80 all out. Unexpected and very welcome.

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years

        Congrats

      2. Webbinho

    • sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      So, what are those with three Brighton defenders going to do next week if you were planning on bench boosting?

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Cry if it were me.

        Thankfully only Duffy so will BB

      2. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        I think the time u least expect them to do well they will. I will sell at least 1 though.

        1. Naboo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          This. Think Duffy will score

      3. Golden Oldies
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Can't waste the bench boost on them..3 Brighton here, cancel bench boost, save the ft, get rid of Brighton players and BB once have a solid 15

    • Zladan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      VAR for handball surely!

    • Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Potential Juve pen, but maybe too close to give.

      1. dark91
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Too close to be called

      2. Rainer

        Not this year, Ronaldo 😉

    • Zladan

      Penalty clear as day lol wtf?!

    • Poseidon.
      • 5 Years

      Fair play to Barcelona probs the better team over the two legs tbf

      1. Marvin Moon
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Probs?

      2. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        😆

      3. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Yes, after two legs of intensive study I'm starting to believe they may have an edge on this United team in terms of quality.

      4. Syd.
        • 14 Years

        Your wear unlucky

        Rashers should had you 2 up

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          They still would have lost they conceded 4

          1. Poseidon.
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 4 days ago

            We would have tightened up if we had a lead to protect

            1. Dr Van Nostrand
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 4 days ago

              And Barca would have attacked more.

              Sorry no silver lining in a 4 nil with no reds.

              Thoroughly outplayed as usual by Barca .

              1. Poseidon.
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 4 days ago

                You sound bias

                1. Dr Van Nostrand
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 8 Years
                  5 years, 4 days ago

                  You sound like you've had too many meat pie sausage rolls 😉

                  Is English your native language?

                  1. Ask Yourself
                    • 7 Years
                    5 years, 4 days ago

                    does this matter?

                    1. jtreble
                      • 7 Years
                      5 years, 4 days ago

                      Non-English speakers seem reluctant to post in their native language. I for one don’t mind using Google Translate at all.

                      1. Dr Van Nostrand
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • 8 Years
                        5 years, 4 days ago

                        He just forgot the ed in biased is all.

                        How could he not be English with a name like that 😉

                        1. jtreble
                          • 7 Years
                          5 years, 4 days ago

                          Suspect he’s French actually.

        Daley Blind

      Anything worth a hit here? Was thinking of Fabianski to Lloris (-4)

      Fabianski
      Robbo TAA Doherty
      Salah Hazard Pogba Son Brooks

    • aleksios

      Murray+Duffy to Ings+TAA for a hit seems like a no brainer right?

    • Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      If you see the replay from Blind straight on it’s clearly not a pen

      1. Pasqualinho
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Yep. Doesn’t hit his arm at all. It did look like it from the normal angle, though.

      I don't care Brighton have a DGW next; I'm cancelling my BB.

      I feel that keeping both my Brighton defenders for gw36 and BB that week, will yield more points (Have Lloris/Foster combo already), and Valery along with 2 Free Transfers if i field 9 dgw this weekend (the other two sgw players are Mane & TAA).
