The final day of Gameweek 35 continues at the American Express Community Stadium, where Brighton and Hove Albion host Everton at 17:30 BST.

Just like last Thursday, Roberto De Zerbi has left Solly March (£5.3m) on the bench to frustrate his many Fantasy Premier League (FPL) owners. 60% of the top 100k have him.

Two players have moved into De Zerbi’s line-up, as Pascal Gross (£5.4m) and Deniz Undav (£5.0m) replace Billy Gilmour (£4.2m) and Julio Enciso (£4.6m). That means the high-flying Seagulls will start regulars Kaoru Mitoma (£5.6m), Alexis Mac Allister (£5.5m), Pervis Estupinan (£4.9m) and goalkeeper Jason Steele (£4.0m).

Meanwhile, Everton will be buoyed by Leicester City’s afternoon defeat at Fulham and have made their own two changes. Injured Seamus Coleman (£4.2m) is out for Nathan Patterson (£3.9m), with Yerry Mina (£4.3m) preferred to Michael Keane (£4.2m).

GAMEWEEK 35 LINE-UPS

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Steele; Gross, Dunk, Webster, Estupinan; Caicedo, Mac Allister; Buonanotte, Undav, Mitoma; Welbeck

Subs: Sanchez, Colwill, March, Enciso, Ayari, Gilmour, Ferguson, Moran, van Hecke

Everton XI: Pickford; Patterson, Tarkowski, Mina, Mykolenko; Iwobi, Doucoure, Gana, Garner, McNeil; Calvert-Lewin

Subs: Begovic, Holgate, Keane, Coady, Davies, Onana, Gray, Maupay, Simms

    Has March been dropped?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yes

    2. BobB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He was great against United. Bizarre decision

    3. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No, rested. See no reason for him to have been dropped based off his performances.

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Rested after a 10 minute cameo last time out? He's not first choice anymore.

        1. F_Ivanovic
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          He doesn't need it now but it's in prep for future GWs. He wants to play him at Southampton and give other players like Mitoma and Mac A a rest there. So a long rest now (where he'll still get some mins from bench) and then he'll play throughout.

          1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            So RDZ thinks he has to rest March twice in a week 3 weeks before Southampton to have him ready for that game?

      2. Vinyl78LP
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Already well rested after Man U benching and early exit -v- Wolves.

      3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        He was rested against ManUtd. Either he's been carrying some injury or RDZ simply prefers what Buonanotte offers

      4. Digital-Real
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        How much rest does he require? He's played only 80 mins of football in 10 days. That's ample rest.
        Seems De Zerbi prefers Buonanotte in that position atm.

    4. Wobbles
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Arsenal, Newcastle and City in their next four games. He is probably just saving his legs before a very tough run of games.

      1. Fintroy
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Ah bless, as a professional sportsman he must be knackered.....NOT

  2. F_Ivanovic
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    March will play right through now till the end of the season and Mitoma/Mac A will probably miss the Southampton game in 37.

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Not sure that's how it works. MacAllister looked back to his best against ManUtd after his rest and as he showed during the WC he doesn’t need too much rest, Mitoma was wasteful but kept getting chances like before too. If the turnaround is really tight then maybe Mitoma will get a rest but I wouldn't even be sure on that

      1. F_Ivanovic
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I mean I think it's the most likely thing to happen but ofc I don't know how tired the players are and he may not need a rest at all. They have 5 games in 14 days with the Sou fixture being 3 days after New and 3 days before City though. It makes logical sense that's where he might rest a lot of players again.

        The way I see it is March gets a long rest and is able to play through all these games now as a result though.

  4. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    March is a pain in the arse

    1. threeputt
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      yep can be wet or frosty

  5. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    “Solly March is not in his best moment” - RBZ.

    I thought he looked very dangerous when he came on vs United. Maybe still not mentally right after the penalty?

    1. XX SMICER XX
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Interesting

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Must be that, he was great against ManUtd when he came on, definitely something else there

    3. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Interesting comment, sounds like he's not 1st choice at the moment.
      Tempted to sell

    4. BobbyDoesNotLook

      Source?

  6. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Benching 2 of my Brighton lot next week then

  7. XX SMICER XX
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    A. Robertson to Trippier
    B. March to Bruno
    C. A & B -4
    D. Robertson to Stones
    E. B & D -4

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Higher maths...

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        With Steve Winwood playing in background

  8. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    March being dropped makes it easier to bench now and play Trent v that Leicester defence

  9. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Could not have dealt with Millwall in the PL. Bunch of 'erberts.

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      i think Balckburn fans might have to stay in for an hour

  10. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    March > Odegaard is then my move 😛 good one?

    1. bialk
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Murphy from Newcastle?

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Thinking that too in 37 and just play Trent in 36

  11. bialk
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Noo, March benched again 🙁 Only hope for me now is BHA to concede.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      They'll concede after Estu is subbed and Steele has saved a pen

  12. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Rather easy
    March > Willock

  13. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Wise decision to bench March imo, in the game vs United his decision making was all over the place..PS- I own him just like everyone else

  14. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Add in Enciso and a fit Fergusson and Brighton are starting to become Man City lite for offence rotation

  15. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    March the f off from my team, mate

  16. Crunchie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    If there is a problem with March i may go Eze next week

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      You may want to consider making a transfer.

    2. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Had Eze for many weeks now, but also March who coming on last gameweek for 20odd minutes meant my 1st sub Eze with 9 points stayed on bench 🙁

      But at least in other news we are now "mathematically" safe!! COYP! 🙂

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Eagles! Who is the next manager?:)

  17. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Amad Diallo will have Anthony sitting on the bench next season.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He's been incredible this season

    2. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Next year's version of Weghorst/Martial. Quality running through that squad.

  18. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    So tint to get rid of March now?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      What are you tinting? Not sure if it will work

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Damm autocorrect!

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Quite tempted by Murphy
      4.2m so an easy bench after the DGW and then gives me funds to move for a bigger hitter in the last week like KDB for Bruno

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        SHame i already have 3 Newcastle 🙁 Bloody Botman

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years

        Haha good one

    5. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Would like him vs Southampton but will he start any game until end of season?

  19. Gazzpfc
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    What to do with March???

    Hardly played last 3 games switch to Macalister???

    Is Welbeck the man now? 😉

  21. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    March is getting to be a problem

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Benchable for the rest of the season at least

  22. Alcapaul
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    March to Mac Allister the obvious move for me if I sell March. Could also do Ederson to Steele and March to Grealish but not sure I want double Brighton defence.

  23. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Any chance of a March no show?

    Got Martinelli first on my bench

  24. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    March is dropped. Needs to be sold
