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.

Who’s on the panel this week?

    Murray & Duffy --> Jimenez and Coady/Cathcart for -4?

    1. Wetdream
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Yes

    2. acidicleo
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      yes

  2. jdp219

    Would you still BB this squad in gw35?

    Foster, Ryan
    Robbo, Doherty, Laporte, Duffy, Valery
    Sterling, Mané, Son, Jota, JWP
    Aguero, Jiménez, Deeney (>Wilson)

    Could dump one BHA for just a -4. Even then, still not the worst BB squad ever.

    1. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      It'd be gw35 or gw36 for BB.

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      No. I have Ryan Duffy Valery Hojbjerg on bench

      TC instead roll FT

        Not the worst idea. Thanks!

    Which one I will do?

    A) Dunk to Monreal or Laporte.
    B) Murray to max 6.9mil

  4. Yoshioka

    Best Valery replacement up to 4.6?

    1. The Ejiptian King

      Might not even be injured? I wish that was my only problem!

    Is this BB team worth a -12???

    Boruc - Guaita
    TAA - Boly - Doherty - Valery - Lindelöf
    Sterling - Mane - KDB - Son - Moura
    Aguero - Firmino - Jiminez

    1. Buck The Trent

    Didn’t fpl virgin recommend DGW hero Sean Morrison ?

    Fair play to the lil fool

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Sean Morrison is top for all defenders for penalty box touches this season with a staggering 107. This is mainly because he is the target for Cardiff’s long throw-ins into the box, but with 7 goals for Cardiff in the Championship last year, could he be a double gameweek hero?

      Yeah

  11. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    Would you still BB this team or roll a FT for a mini WC and a Gw36 BB?

    Gunn (Ryan)
    Robbo, Doherty, Trippier (Duffy, Valery)
    Sterling, Erik, Son, Doucoure ( JWP)
    Aguero, Jiménez, Vardy ?

    1. POLSKA GOLA
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Brighton do look awful atm so maybe wait for gw36

  12. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    My def. (Loris foster Dunk duffy taa valery doc)
    need a reliable defender with good fixtures till end of the season, should i get robbo/matip/vvd or get salah ?

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Get salah

  13. Richd
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    Dunk and Deeney

    Would you prefer

    A) Llorente and Cathcart
    B) Wilson and Bednarek

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      B

    2. POLSKA GOLA
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      B

    3. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      I'm on B but unfortunately gotta get rid of Duffy rather than Dunk to afford it.

      1. Richd
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 days ago

        Oh apologies. Yeah same. The first would be dunk. The second would be Duffy. Tired 😀

        exact cash for that one

        I hate the Ryan foster goalkeeper rotation by the way !

        1. Richd
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 10 days ago

          Also no idea what we’d do next week if we wanted a third pool. This has got messy

          1. The Ejiptian King
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 10 days ago

            I was looking at Salah week after, it isn't possible for me for -4 unless I lose either Sterling or Kun.

        2. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 10 days ago

          I think Lloris/Foster is the thing I'm most happy with for next week actually, shame about the other positions, lol.

    4. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      B

  14. POLSKA GOLA
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    I got away with it without a WC this week despite horrible transfers (Fraser, Salah, Rice out for Duffy, Son &Eriksen). Jumped 10k places to 12k but really scared of huge rank drop in GW35.
    What would you do with this team?
    Schmeichel, Speroni
    VVD, Luiz, Duffy, AWB, Tarkowski
    Mané, Eriksen, Son, Pogba, Camarasa
    Wilson, Vardy, Rondon
    5.8itb

    1. Beer is good 4 U
      • 5 Years

      Vardy and Rondon -> Agüero and Jimenez.

          No problem and you are welcome. Hope it will help.

            Concerned slightly about Kun rotation, will see how much he plays in the CL tomorrow

  15. Buck The Trent
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    Which one ?

    A TC Jimenez
    B BB with Wilson, Ryan, Coady, Valery and -4

    1. acidicleo

      b

    2. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Ugh one. Although having Wilson for BB is better than most have here.
      I'm BB'ing with a bench of Ryan JWP Valery and Kiko and your bench is better than that!

      1. Boberella
        • 7 Years

    Hi.....please can I have views on best bet here please? Playing BB this week

    Lloris foster
    Robbo Doherty duffy dunk valery
    Kdb eriksen mane son jota
    Kun jiminez deeney

    A.....deeney and Duffy to Wilson and yoshida - 4

    B....deeney and dunk to long and TAA - 4

    Thanks

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Save transfer
      Bench Deeney, dunk and Duffy and hold B.B.

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 days ago

        Not in favour of that. I'm committed to bb this week as always planned

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 10 days ago

          Plans sometimes need to be changed

  17. Dosh
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    A. Murray, Duffy, Siggy --> Jimenez, Laporte, Redmond (-8)
    B. Murray + Siggy --> Jimenez + Fraser (-4)
    C. Murray + Siggy --> Firmino + Camarasa
    D. Murray --> Rondon/Ings/Gray

    Best option here?

  18. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    Duffy is going to score twice in gw35.

    I'm definitely not putting any money on that, but that would be the way, wouldn't it?

    Massive disappointment --> rage transfers --> points explosion

    1. Kiwivillan

    3year contract..7m a year..probably about to lose their best players, potentially no Champions league...and thats the manager they put in to attract top players??? Its too funny.

    1. Eddie

      Who? What?

      1. fedolefan

        He's talking about Ole.

  20. Klein
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    Quick question
    If you bring brighton def for the upcoming dgw on a hit, does it count as -2 or -6 or -8?

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      ??

      Open ended answer

      Depends of who you took out and what they score and also what your BHA player scores over DGW35.

      It’s all mathematics after the -4 triggers it all off.

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 days ago

        It's a trick question.

  21. Beer is good 4 U
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    Have Kane (forgot the last deadline), Ryan, Duffy, Valery, Camarasa and Deeny in my team.

    Would you bench boost or triple captain? A - 12 seems too much.

    Thank you!

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      TC and bench boost in gw36 maybe

      1. Beer is good 4 U
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 10 days ago

        Thank you!

  22. acidicleo
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    One week option for GW35 (BB)

    A) Wilson (-4)
    B) Long

    Both wont be needed from gw36 onwards..

    1. ㅤRising
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      best option is Wilson
      If you get Wilson you might as well play him, Im assuming you have someone like Jota as a 5th mid you think of playing over him ?

  23. Viper
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    Does this look strong enough for bench boost?

    Ryan (wol, spu) Wilson (FUL) Valery (new, wat) Yoshida (new, wat)

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Yeah

    2. acidicleo
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      if valery is fit , definitely..

    3. Beer is good 4 U
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      In my opinion yes.

    4. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Looks good.

  24. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    My def. (Loris foster Dunk duffy taa valery doc)
    need a reliable defender with good fixtures till end of the season
    should i get robbo/matip/vvd or get salah ?

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Laporte looks a good solid defender but the pool defenders are great value when you compare to Salah ?

    2. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Salah vs Huddersfield at home. This for me is an easy answer.

  25. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    After winning my Cardiff bet Im feeling pretty chuffed.

    How does the following moves look long term for a -4 ?

    Lukaku + Deeny -> Firmino + Wilson

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Why not just Deeney to Gray and following week Lukaku to Bobby

      1. Boberella
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 days ago

        Wilson at home to fulham could/should easily outscore Gray this GW.
        I'd do both those transfers for a hit

  26. Demel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    I have heard lots of moaning about what a terrible week it has been for people. This isn't a terrible week. A low average gameweek score cannot be a bad week for you. It could be a really good week if you had Lucas or a Bournemouth asset. But not a bad week because you finished 5 points off the top 10k average.

    A bad week is a week which has a couple of high scoring (usually high captaincy picks) which you don't own. The week Salah played Bournemouth is my example. That is the week you plummet in rank. That is a bad week.

    This isn't a bad week.

    1. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Still pretty depressing though isn't it.

      1. Demel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 10 days ago

        Most people are in the same boat. If none of our captains scores over 4 points then does it really matter?

    2. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      I wanted 150 point this week (34) and if I don’t hit that it’s a bad week. I decided. So there :-p

      1. Demel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 10 days ago

        I didn't get that in the optimum DGW in 32. I doubt many will break 100 points.

    3. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      It's a bad week when your own low score is lower than the low average score 🙁

  27. MrCloppity
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    Yedlin out for Bednarek
    Maddison out for Moura
    Vardy out for Agüero
    -8 points
    Im 34 points clear at the top of my league with 2nd,3rd & 4th having full squads playing twice with a BB.
    Thoughts please?

  28. ㅤRising
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    So my bench is Foster Deeney Duffy Dunk, thinking of doing Deeney to Wilson, but is if worth it to go -4 to do Duffy to Boly ?

  29. Mr Dave
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    Thoughts on best front 3 for week 35?

    1. ㅤRising
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Jimenez, Aguero and maybe Wilson or Firmino

    2. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Jim Kun Wilson/Vardy

    Is it controversial to say this site has become FPL fake news and buggered up everyone's individual thinking?

    1. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      No. That is only the case if you follow the group think. I tend not to and have done ok.

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 days ago

        +1

      2. Calderano FC
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 days ago

        Just seems to me this used to be a cool site for advice but is now over powered with RMT's which I have stupidly followed in the last few weeks.

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 10 days ago

          51% of the game is luck. Don't beat yourself up too much.

          1. Calderano FC
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 10 days ago

            Mate been playing this game for a long time and love it but just feel this site is following social media nonsense and allowing unfiltered crap to be posted. I know it's all opinions but just a bit skewed now.

        2. Demel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 10 days ago

          Then that is your fault and not the sites. People said I was mad to BB in 32. I went from 20k to 400 in a few weeks. I didn't listen to them.

          There has also been plenty of other good bits of advice. The key is deciding which is which. I tend to think I have a better idea than the average contributor which means that I use it for opinions more than to make my decision for me.

          1. Calderano FC
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 10 days ago

            Maybe it's me then, i found out about FPL scout some years ago as if it was a secret club and have benefited no end from words of wisdom ever since. Just feel the last couple of years the comments board has been full of the preverbal which I have unfortunately been sucked into.

              FFS are actively looking into ways to improve the comments experience for everyone, RMTers included 😉

          Absolute rubbish imo. If you paid a few Pounds to be a member, the in depth analysis you can gain from it, is invaluable. It has not done me any harm tbh... You haven’t even paid to be a member, so I don’t know how you can complain to be honest?? It’s your choice to have whoever you like in your team and you don’t have to follow the crowd..Become a member and get access to more info so you can make more informed decisions, I think, but I agree there’s an element of luck as well..

            You missed my point mate. I appreciate I haven't been a paying member, even though I was a member before the charges were brought in, I still think the comments board is full of fake news.

      Controversial, no. Wrong, yes.

      No it's not controversial but FPLvirging giving advice on reply is kinda ironic, don't you think?
