The final action of Gameweek 35 ends at City Ground, where Nottingham Forest host Southampton at 20:00 BST.

It’s a huge game between the bottom two sides, with time running out for both thanks to Everton’s shock 5-1 win at Brighton and Hove Albion. Defeat here would virtually relegate the Saints, so it’ll be a fascinating but nervy battle.

They’ve made three changes from the side which went a goal up at Newcastle United but ultimately lost. Che Adams (£6.0m), Theo Walcott (£4.8m) and Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£4.8m) are in for Moussa Djenepo (£5.0m), Kamaldeen Sulemana (£4.9m) and Lyanco (£4.4m).

Nottingham Forest were also victims of a lead being overturned and there’s a sole alteration to their Brentford line-up, with Ryan Yates (£5.0m) replacing Joe Worrall (£4.2m) to hint at a return to the back-four system.

Brennan Johnson (£5.5m) is deemed fit enough to start.

GAMEWEEK 35 LINE-UPS

Nottingham Forest XI: Navas; Aurier, Felipe, Niakhate, Lodi; Danilo, Mangala, Yates; Gibbs-White; Johnson, Awoniyi

Subs: Hennessey, Worrall, Boly, Toffolo, Kouyate, Freuler, Lingard, Ayew, Surridge

Southampton XI: McCarthy; Maitland-Niles, Bella-Kotchap, Bednarek, Walker-Peters; S Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Lavia, Alcaraz; Walcott, Adams

Subs: Bazunu, Lyanco, Caleta-Car, Edozie, Sulemana, Elyounoussi, Mara, A Armstrong, Onuachu

    March injured?

    1. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yes hammy

    2. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      No no, he was just rested tonight...

  2. El Presidente

    What a beating that was... wow.

  3. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    14 goals in games tonight

    NFO vs Saints nailed on to be a 0-0 shitfest

    who would you play next gameweek

    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Stinker of a gameweek, but needed my rival’s Steele to score -2 or worse to win my ML H2H by 1 point! 🙂

  6. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I might as well start Alisson against Leicester and be happy with 6 points. De Zerbi will most likely react and bring back Sanchez at the weekend. He does what he wants, so it wouldn't surprise me at all.

  7. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    A) Schar & Steele
    B) Pope & Estupinian -4

    1. The Iceman

  8. WVA
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Absolutely outrageous game week, worst of the season for me!

    Ederson 2
    Shaw 2
    Mings 1
    Estupinan 1
    Salah 10
    Rashford 2
    Mitoma 5
    March 1
    Watkins 1
    Kane 8
    Haaland 4

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Estupinan 0 obviously

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Estupinan got 0

      1. WVA

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

      Nice team.

    4. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      That will be a green arrow.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        No way will it

    5. Tango74
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      That y it’s dangerous to have triple Brighton or new . If they are rubbish that half your team scoring 6pts lol

      Could happen next week then x2

    6. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Feel so sorry for your green arrow.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        No chance 36 gets me a green

    7. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      37 - same - small red

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Same

    8. Hotdogs for Tea

      #humblebrag 😉

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Red for sure

    9. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Better than most

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

    Rival with double Brighton defense-2 points now. But 30 pts last week.

  10. The Iceman
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Instead of transferring March out I should just play both Grealish and Rashford right? Was set to bench one…

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Considering the price, if you don’t upgrade, would say so

  11. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Lots of tinkering what to do with Brighton

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Keep them. Two doubles, plenty to play for.

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Got burnt by doubles once too many times, rather play good single GWer right now

    2. Tango74
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Will Steele be dropped ?

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Good question

    3. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      March to Eze, Roll March on the bench, do you have Steele?

      How will that affect your Wilson question?

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Most likely playing Mitoma and benching both March and Estu, don want to waste FTs on Brighton

    4. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I'm benching steele and March.
      Don't see many, if any points from their DGW.

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I suppose I'll start Steele......if he's benched, it will most likely be for both games

  12. faux_C
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Love to see McAllister turning my arrow from red to green for the second week in a row!

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

      You are lucky man.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      That'll be the lesser-known bonus 'lie on your back and gaze up at the stars' point.

  13. Kratanos
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Worst game week I've ever had of my life. Decided to back Steele based off his performances and it has basically killed my season

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      You've had an easy life.

  14. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    March to MacAllister is a no brainer, right?

    1. Snake Juice
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I won't even bother, will just roll my FT

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      only on 2FT and no benching headache

  15. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Not doing it on principle

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Buying Mac that is. I will miss out on his free kick in off the corner flag but hey ho

  16. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    2 FT & 0.3 ITB:

    Raya
    Burn*Tripps* Estu*
    MacAll* Mitoma* Mahrez Salah Rash
    Haaland Jota

    Martinez Shaw Watkins Mee

    Watkins or Jota to Isak or Wilson?
    Roll the 2.nd FT or other pressing matters? Cheers!

    1. Tango74
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      You benching 3 home players !!!

      For Brighton who have 2 away games against top 3 ??

      Brave

      1. MIGHTY JOE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Gw36 m8. If not now, when? Not that I feel it’s that madness.

        Thanks for the answers!

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Be good rifferentials. March out could improve MacAllister and Mitoma's attacking threat. Hopefully Evan gets plenty of gametime too.

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      after watching that you could do Both to Wilson and Isak

      1. MIGHTY JOE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        You suggest -4 to remove a DGW player? 😀

  17. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Is Marxh to Macallister the easiest
    move ever? Or is there a single game week player at that range worth a punt like eze

    Marxh to mac feels so dull!

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Form and dull > Adrenalin and awful.

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Thinking of that move (Eze), but I still have Botman on the bench, so I may roll and play 4-4-2. Not sure yet.

      I would if i had 2 FT though

  18. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    fellow MGW owners, how do you feel?

  19. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Should we ditch March for the double?

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yes, he is out for the season

  20. Tango74
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    You benching 3 home players !!!

    For Brighton who have 2 away games against top 3 ??

    Brave

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Brighto still decent, playing for Euro spot. Top 3 playing good but not keeping many CS.

  21. Salarrivederci
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Would this be GTG for next GW?
    Will bank 1 FT and got 1.6 ITB - no chips.

    Ederson
    TAA - Trippier - Shaw
    Salah - Rashford - Mac Allister - Mitoma
    Haaland - Wilson - Isak

    (Alisson, March, Stones, Castagne)

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      yes

  22. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    5 shots on target and 5 goals. Woah.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Steele in trouble

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

      6. Steel made a save in first half.

  23. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Martinelli > McAllister
    Yaaaay
    Naaaay

  24. Firminooooo
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Fantastic. Steel could lose his place now and March injured. 0.2 short of March to Mitoma.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      You have Mac? I'm getting Almiron

      1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Miggy back?

        1. AARON-1
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Murphy a better midfield punt, isn't he?

          1. Hairy Potter
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            They'll probably share minutes until the end of the season.

  25. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Dayummmm, was that a beating or hwattt? Didn’t watch, are Toffees really that good all of a sudden lol

  26. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Forest - Saints predictions?

    2-1

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Something with a 5 in

  27. Bob B
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Ederson (DDG)
    TAA Estupinan Trippier (Robertson Dias)
    MacAllister Mitoma Salah Rashford Murphy
    Isak(C) Haaland (Martial)

    Pretty stuck what to do with my team here, 2FT and a benching headache.
    Anyone you'd look to bring in to improve the current team for this week?

  28. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    What's up with March?

    1. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      ham

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Cold and wet

    3. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Pulled a hammy

    4. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Ok cheers

    5. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years

      Injured?

  29. The FPL Units
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    This is a crazy GW for results.

  30. gellinmagellan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Pope Steele
    Trippier Botman TAA Lindelof Zinchenko
    Saka Grealish Mac Mitoma Rashford
    Jota Haaland Watkins

    2 FTs 0.7 ITB. What should I do for GW 36?!

    1. AARON-1
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Most people will swap Watkins for Isak/Wilson, but you have already got triple Newcastle defence.
      You don't necessarily NEED a move, but you don't want to burn a transfer, I suppose.
      I'd consider Watkins to Isak and Botman to Shaw/Reuben Dias if you can afford it.

      1. Indpush
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Tripple NC D here. I'm making these moves; Botman and Watkins out for Shaw and Isak
