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.

    Would you rather keep Richarlison or Maddison?

    1. Kellz86
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Keep Maddison

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      How often would you play each one or is it the same?

      1. Scotty B
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Maddison next two looks ok then last two terrible..

        Richarlison fixtures similar?

    3. ROLLING THE DICE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      I’d look at getting both out. Maddison horrible fixtures until end of season, Rich off form.

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

      Richarlison

      Both out

    6. GnT

    2. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Robertson & Laporte & Lloris to Dunk & Duffy(c) & Ryan for -8

    3. Majestic Chanka
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      No but I have some Southampton defense double up magic beans if you are interested...

    4. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Would do it again for sure.

    5. GnT

  11. WannabeScout
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Who is the best striker this week?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Wilson
      Firmino
      Jimenez

    2. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Maybe Jimenez

    3. WannabeScout
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      I have Jimenez Vardy and Deeney 6.7 itb,

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

        Well it won't be Deeney will it

    4. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Aguero

  12. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    BB 35.

    Ryan. Gunn.
    Duffy. Kolasinac. TAA. Valery. Dunk.
    KdB. Son. Eriksen. Sterling. CHO.
    Jimenez. Aguero. Wilson.

    Any move here, worth a hit?

    A) Dunk/Valery -> Boly
    B) CHO -> Redmond/Fraser

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      B to fraser

    2. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      B to Redmond

    3. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Redmond got me 1 return in 9 when I had him, whereas Fraser is pretty consistent... So Fraser

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

        Both good options. Bournemouth scored 5 against that awful which name I cannot remember. Before that Bou were quite poor. Saints form in general is better imo

  13. waitinginthelonggrass
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Mariappa to Mendy worth a punt?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Mendy won't play both

    2. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      No

  14. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    A) Keep Vardy
    B) Vardy -> Wilson (-4)
    C) Vardy -> Lacazette (-4)
    ???

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      A

    2. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      D. Vardy to Firmino?

  15. Lazaretti
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Any suggestions. Leading ML just by 12 pts, rival doesn't have BB left (we both have TC left) He has triple Arsenal (Laca, Ramsey, Kola)

    Using BB GW35

    Foster - Ryan
    Jonny - TAA - Duffy - Laporte - Valery
    Camarasa - Sterling - Eriksen - Son - Mane
    Jimenez - Aguero - Murray

    1.4 itb. Should I try to get some Arsenal players or do something else.

    A) Camarasa to Redmond for free.
    B) Murray & Camarasa to Redmond & 6.9 fwd for -4 (who)
    C) Duffy & Camarasa to Redmond and 5.3 def for -4 (who)
    D) Camarasa & Murray to Ramsey and Llorente for -4 exact money

    TIA

  16. The_Fish
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    There’s no obvious Brighton defender replacements so who should I get for 5.1 or less? I’m thinking doubling on Southampton defence may be too much? Already have Valery

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      I think we have a perfect storm here.

      Brighton and then Southampton. I would not sir!

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

        Yeah I see that but the difference is at least Southampton are playing good football and Brighton have been awful for months.

        1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          Sure they've improved a tad but these two away fixtures are tough cookies. Maybe just one of their attackers is the order of the day. GL!

    2. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Kolasinac maybe but wont be nailed for 2 games

  17. Tinmen
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Folks, this is all I need to know this week! On Bench boost.
    Should I use my ft on Duffy to Boly?

    Or should I carry my transfer so I’ll have a better chance to bring in Liverpool assets for the following gameweek as I only have Trent? I was all set on this until Brightons exploits

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

      I was the same. Planning for Mane and Bobby next week. Don’t think I can face a double Brighton defence again though, so will effectively take a -4 to get rid of one - if I can see a suitable replacement.

    2. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      I was hoping to carry a transfer this week but I'm planning one hit now after the Brighton debacle. Use it now. You want another Liverpool player for the Cardiff game anyway.

      1. Tinmen
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Yea but what I would have to take a player out who’s playing twice to get a Liverpool Mid or striker I’m so it would only be one transfer this week

    3. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Dbl wol defence could be good Brighton and Arsenal at home. They say that wolves doesn't keep cleanies though they also said c Duffy...

  18. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Hi, what to do with Vardy?
    A. Keep
    B. Replace with Firmino (free)
    Cheers 🙂

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Will getting Firmino restrict your Pool options in GW36?

    2. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      I’m keeping Vardy and then probably switching in 36.

    3. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      I’m asking the same question but for aguero. I’d rather have salah and mane next week so I would keep Vardy if these are the options

  19. NUFCAndrew
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Which defended (4.9 max) is the best for the run in?

  20. circusmonkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Planning Duffy and Knockaert to Bednarek and Moura (-4).
    Trashes my transfer plans for the remainder of the season (getting ManU players in for the end) but I feel I have to do it after the Brighton debacle.

  21. The Final Boss
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Is Valery fine?

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Yep it’s just cramp

  22. Telal
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Who's nailed in Watford defence?a)
    a) Cathcart
    b)Femenia
    c) Mariappa
    d) Kabasele

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

      I think A

      1. Telal
        • 7 Years

        Thanks

    2. dbeck

      A

      1. Telal

        thanks

  23. The Pesci challenge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Vardy to aguero or not?

  24. cescpistols111
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Tielemens + Dunk -> Deulofeu + Best 4.9m defender?

    Already have BRI, SOU and WAT defenders but don't want to double up on them (learnt my lesson this GW).

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

    In your opinion, best Duffy and Deeney replacement for a -4?

    A) rashford and yoshida
    B) gray and Bertrand
    C) Wilson and Cathcart

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

      I'm thinking I will go Monreal + Ings

      From those options, I'd go C

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

        Cheers, your ings and monreal suggestion is interesting. I’m not sure on arsenal def and ings injury record. Ings will be on pens and soton looked great going forward so could pay off

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

    Is Kiko nailed now? Or Janmaat is always going to play one of those 2 games?

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Wasn't Jan bought in because they changed formation for that game. I would be wary of him

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Saying that, he has actually played 90mins in 8/10 of recent games and played 54 & 45 in the two games before the Arse.

        Maybe not a bad shout actually. 🙂

        1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          David's article may help focus the mind rather than my drivel.

  27. cescpistols111

    Best defender for the run-in?

    A. Matip
    B. Lascelles
    C. AwB
    D. Adam Smith

  28. Kalou

    5 years, 4 days ago

  30. Riders of Yohan
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Duffy to Cathcart a good enough straight swap?
