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?

Always Cheating Podcast – The USA’s most popular FPL podcast created by Josh and Brandon

Who Got the Assist? – One of the best known FPL podcasts this side of the Atlantic, the brainchild of Tom and Nick.

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

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

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

          1. Cruz88
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 11 months 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
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 11 months 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

              1. Cruz88
                • 10 Years
                6 years, 11 months ago

                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
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I think so

  4. Revival

    • 13 Years

    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.

    • Scotty B
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      60 points seems to be a good score this week

      1. Mysterion
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Well spotted, Hercule

      2. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Decent.

      3. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Average

      4. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Beats my 53.

      5. Ask Yourself
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah 61 is better than 60 though

    • Ninja Škrtel
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months 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
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

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

      Onto the next gameweek.

      1. fusen
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 11 months 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
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

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

          1. Naboo
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 11 months 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.

      Je ne regrette rien.

        Si

        Bravo

    • chaser123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      So, best Duffy replacement for GW35?

      1. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        I will keep.

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Bench and play TC

        1. chaser123
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 11 months 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
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Literally any defender in the game.

      4. chaser123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Thoughts on a Boly and Doherty double up?

    • Says
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

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

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Possibly the worse kit ever

        1. Marvin.
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 11 months 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
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Worst*

    • Webbinho
      • 15 Years

      80 all out. Unexpected and very welcome.

      1. ZeBestee

        Congrats

      2. Webbinho

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

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Cry if it were me.

        Thankfully only Duffy so will BB

      2. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

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

        1. Naboo
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          This. Think Duffy will score

      3. Golden Oldies
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 11 months 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
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      VAR for handball surely!

    • Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Potential Juve pen, but maybe too close to give.

      1. dark91
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Too close to be called

      2. Rainer

        Not this year, Ronaldo 😉

    • Zladan

      Penalty clear as day lol wtf?!

    • Poseidon.
      • 7 Years

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

      1. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Probs?

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        😆

      3. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months 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.
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Your wear unlucky

        Rashers should had you 2 up

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          They still would have lost they conceded 4

          1. Poseidon.
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

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

            1. Dr Van Nostrand
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 11 months 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.
                • 7 Years

                You sound bias

                  • 10 Years

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

                  Is English your native language?

                  1. Ask Yourself
                    • 9 Years
                    6 years, 11 months ago

                    does this matter?

                    1. jtreble
                      • 9 Years
                      6 years, 11 months 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
                        • 10 Years
                        6 years, 11 months ago

                        He just forgot the ed in biased is all.

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

                        1. jtreble
                          • 9 Years
                          6 years, 11 months ago

                          Suspect he’s French actually.

      1. Syd.

        Daley Blind

    • Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

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

      Fabianski
      Robbo TAA Doherty
      Salah Hazard Pogba Son Brooks
      Vardy Jimenez (C)

      1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 11 Years

        I’d probably play King over Pogba.

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

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

      1. Pasqualinho
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 11 months 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).
