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?

    I'm BBing in a single GW because I never wildcarded this week but people's rationale to BBing in GW36 is hilarious. Let's get this right. You prefer a single GW fixture for Brighton because they play Newcastle at home? Have you not learned anything from this gameweek with regards to the home fixtures for Brighton?

        I am thinking of that as well, but the problem with GW38 is people get randomly benched. So your BB maybe useless. It's a risk.

          Getting trio of bha was a risk ! At least Murray scored more than Aguero and Vardy and others.

          For me it was Murray, Rashford or Deeney

            You will still get a fixture in a DGW in case of random benching. Those same random rotations apply to GW38. You get a guaranteed 0 then.

          People getting benched in 38 is overrated

          Example gw34 - Lacazette, Son, Rashford, Kolasinac, Trippier, Higuian, RBennett, lindelof and Bilva.

            Let us ignore all the other gameweeks and focus on the outlier. Not my problem if you think it is overrated.

      I scored 68 this week which gave me green arrow back into the top ten - didn't play my wildcard so I'm pleased that risk paid off. WC this week and looking forward to BBing when I have some certainty about who is playing. DGW35 is going to be another big let down for many, I reckon.

      They plain and simple suck. Hoping for 2-3 pts in gw35bb rather than 1-2 in gw36 for the GK/Defender.

      Also bigger chance for Ryan to Collection save points over two games rather than one. HIgher chance of getting a Duffy goal as well.

      South defenders like Valery will most likely also score more in two away games rather than one home game given southhamptons fine form.

      Last player I would bench this week and next week is Jota.

      I favour a BB35 and TC36 for those reasons.

    who were Aguero and Sanchez’s opponents when they hit 26 points and 25 points in the same DGW a few year back??

    I had Sanchez TC and Aguero VC and these two got me 101 points between them. Could have been 103 but I wasn’t complaining!

              Maybe. Still rather 1 game at home against Newcastle than the 2 away in 35

    Best Option:

    1. BB = Foster Duffy Dunk Romeu (could use 1FT to improve)
    2. TC = Jimenez or Kun

    Thanks

    How much does Pep pay the various footballing bodies to get the easiest draws every time at every club he's at?

          Pep likes Zinchenko though and he’s better defensively

              Mendy’s been fit for a while though? Been playing since Zinchenko got injured

    This is my team as it stands, on a BB, no FT but 2.0 ITB:

    Leno / Gunn
    Robertson / Kola / Duffy / Valery / AWB
    Sterling / Mané / Mili / JWP / Brooks
    Aguero / Lacazette / Jimenez

    Any suggestions for transfers? 2 million is a fair bit of wiggle room. Waiting to see what the latest is on Valery as I'll definitely have to transfer him out if he's injured. Aside from that, any glaring omissions I should upgrade to?

    Cheers!
