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 to Zaha?
    Zaha could be a good differential for the last 3 games of season.
    Or maybe March to Willock

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I would still target a doubler as a replacement.

    2. Slitherene
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Go for it!

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

    A) MacA or Joelinton in for March?
    B) Downgrade Jota (eg for Wilson/Isak) or Ederson to fund it?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      A. Pen taker
      B. Jota

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

      Mac

      Wilson, not for a hit though.

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

      MacA. Joelinton reported to be limping after the Arsenal game.

  3. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Silly March the transfer that keeps on giving

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

    Who to bench....

    A....estu double

    B...Bruno v wolves

    C....trent at Leicester

    Have to bench estu despite his dgw surely? Thanks

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

      A

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      A

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

      C

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        He got 24 points last year

    4. Slitherene
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Looks like that

  5. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Will FH in 38. So dead ending my team in about 2 GW's. Advice needed!

    Steele | Iversen
    TAA* Porro Dalot
    Salah KDB Rashford Mitoma March*
    Haaland Jota*
    ¦ Akanji Toti Greenwood

    TAA, March, Jota -> Schar, Bruno, Wilson

    For a hit, have exact money.

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

    Happy to have got Mac's differential points before so many jump on this week!

    Hopefully still below 60% EO...

  7. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    36 all out in the end, not bad considering!

  8. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Better option over GW36+37?

    A) TAA(lei)/Shaw(WOL) + TAA (AVL)

    B) Mac A -4 points

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

      A

  9. Disco Stu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Mac the best Marsh replacement for next week or play Martinelli?

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

      Play Martinelli, Mac in GW37 better fixtures

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Don't base your decision on this but my arsenal mate says a lot of fans want Martinelli dropped for Trossard

      Anyway I would go Mac

    3. KDB4PREZ
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I’d go mac for the rest of season

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

    Start Steele or Kepa?

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

      Steele unless you think Sanchez will start

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

        Even if Sanchez starts, he'll probably start both games?

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

          Speculation from here on wait for press probably

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

    Who gets more minutes, Ferguson or Enciso?

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      If Ferguson is fit, I'd guess him but I suspect neither of them will get many.

    2. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Ferguson

  12. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Any guesses for Wilson's EO for the DGW?

    Trying to decide whether worth using the 2FT to transfer out Schar to bring him in.

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

      I'm bringing in Wilson and captaining him FWIW

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

      Keep Schar.

  13. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I want to hold overall rank but at the same time chasing 37 points in my ML. He has Isak & will captain him. Should I get:

    A. Isak (C)

    B. Wilson (C)

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

      37 points in 3 requires B

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

        Was my initial plan but I still have triple Arsenal to his zero & started thinking I can catch him elsewhere. Whereas if Isak hauls both my OR & ML ranks tank. Hmm

    2. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      What do you think your league leader will do? Do the opposite of that.

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

        I think he'll captain Isak but also transfer in Wilson.

        1. Alan The Llama
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          I'd captain Wilson then. I think I'd prefer Wilson cap anyway.

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

      B if chasing.

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

        Yes pretty straightforward for ML but I'm pretty happy with my overall rank & afraid of getting punished by Isak

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

    March to mac
    Or just play taa bench march?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      I am doing the latter

      1. Gizzachance

        Cheers

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      28 & a Red, binary scores

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

    Stay up, Forest - go on!

  18. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Great goal Forest.

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

    A) Chilwell>Schar for a hit and bench Foden
    B) Start Foden

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

      Don't think Foden starts tomorrow so I'd risk the B.

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

        Cheers, that's a good point. What about A and benching Shaw?

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

          Wouldn't take a hit to bench Shaw, no way.

  20. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Of course Estupinan blanks as soon as I bring him in. And for White, too.

  21. SomeoneKnows
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Kepa
    Trippier*, Botman*, Estupinan*
    Salah, Rashford, Martinelli, Mitoma*
    Haaland, Watkins, Solanke

    (Raya, Maddison, Zinchenko, Shaw)

    Best move here?
    A) Watkins > Wilson
    B) Watkins + Zinchenko > Wilson + TAA (-4)

    1. Pater familias
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      i prefer A more, and maybe start maddison instead of solanke?

      1. KDB4PREZ
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        A and start madders imo

  22. Pater familias
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    hi there

    currently planning to play this for gw36

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

      Bench March and play TAA. Or go with the crowd for Mac. I am benching March and play Odegaard.

    2. KDB4PREZ
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Switch to Macalister imo

  23. g40steve

    Forest again

    1. g40steve

      Awoniyi G

      1. g40steve

  24. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Four of Estupinans six assists this season have come In away games!! All four of those games Brighton had conceded Atleast one goal aswell!!……Slight bit of hope for us owners going into the next gameweek !!!

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

      1, 1

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I’d take that mate haha

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

    A-WOW-niyi

  26. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    That might be that then for the relegation spots. Not sure I can see either Leeds or Leicester getting more than one point in their remaining games.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Hope so

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

      It'll be one of the great escape jobs if they do

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

    who got the assist?

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Danilo

  28. KDB4PREZ
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    If leading ML by 20-40 points and all teams behind have double Newcastle defense would you prioritise double defense over double attack?

    A) Get Botman (play Watkins)
    B) Get Wilson to go with Issac (play TAA)

  29. GENERATION X
