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

    17 goals so far from 3 games today.
    That's more than the whole weekend.

    I wonder how you would do taking a - 20 every six weeks...

    If you include the 2 wildcards essentially -80pts to for a mini revamp every 6 weeks, doesn't seem to crazy.

      Bank holiday Monday all day pub session is it?

      1. Jon Snow
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Is it still all day pub if you switched to shandies at 7pm?

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      You know nothing, Jon Snow.

    About Brighton, dont see a point in March to Mac considering next two, and in 37 in fact only one fix appeals, 38 ain’t great too

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

      It's certainly quantity over quality.

    2. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      All it takes though is a penalty or a jammy goal from a part of his anatomy from 2 extra games.

      I'm considering the move

    We're gonna see another blockbuster game aren't we.....

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

      Alcaraz clean through on goal, can even take a touch before shooting...

  9. BobbyDoesNotLook

    In gw37 Newcastle is playing Leicester at home, Arsenal has Forest (away) and then the obvious dgw for City, Man Utd and Brighton (and Chelsea).

    Who is on your bench at the moment?

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

      Pool Villa at home.

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

      Botman, Greenwood & one of Trippier/Isak/Wilson

      Don't like it already...

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

        I am thinking of getting Greenwood just because of this. No matter if I use the money.

  10. :
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Hey, I've got three Brighton players in my team but their next two games are both away from home against the second and third best teams in the league.

    Shall I get my coat?

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

      How many cleansheets have both of them in their last 10 games?

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

    Trippier or Isak (C)?

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

      Isak.

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

      Isak

    3. Woy_is_back

      ta

  12. KDB4PREZ
    • 6 Years

    Bottomed

    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)

    2. Biggsy

      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I always feel if you're spending moves blocking, your opponents are spending moves finding that differential that closes the gap. Go for the one you think scores better

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

        Feels like great advice thanks Biggsy

  13. g40steve

    BJ fastest recorded speed in prem

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

      Link?

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

      Grealish definitely involved in that.

    3. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Damn those players are really pent up

  14. BUZZBOMB ♡
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Wilson or Isak for 36 and 38? Or both?

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

      Wilson

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Great question, hasn't been asked on here yet

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

      I wouldn't entertain buying Wilson unless it's leaked he starts at Leeds.

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

        They'd be mad to start an 8/8 striker against the mighty Leeds defence.

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

          Just that Howe was hesitant about starting him & Isak together and it was bad vs Arsenal.

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

            Cheers Rainer. Will keep an eye out. Halfplan is to get him and Murphy for Watkins and Pereira.

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

      Has to be Wilson or both

  15. Here is Cash, give McGinn
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    A) Botman/Schär with Trippier
    B) Wilson with Isak

    Just got home and checked the Brighton result. Wtf!? Steel and Estup owner. How?

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

      DCL bullied Dunk.
      Steele brain fart.
      McNeil went psycho mode.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Steel own goal, 5 conceded and not even a save point is ridiculous. Was expecting a CS 😆

  17. g40steve

    MGW stop giving the ball away!

  18. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Mitoma > Doucoure?

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

    Saints defending this half has been laughable...

    1. bombonera
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      How Bednarek and Maitland-Niles are Premier League players is beyond me

  22. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Awoyini not stepping up

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

      BJ or MGW normally

    2. Rojo's Modern Life
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      MGW is our best ball-striker

  23. Saka Punch
    • 7 Years

    2ft

    Worth getting both Isak and Wilson in?

  24. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Get in! Youuuu Reds!

  28. FantasyFootballMad
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    For upcoming gw?

    A) joelinton & Enciso
    B) Wilson & Macallister

    (B means I have to lose -4 gw37 to get fernandes in, A means I get him without a hit)

  29. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I would love Forest to stay up but that’s hardly a pen? Johnson nowhere near the ball and cuts across the defender ?

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

      They always get given.

      If United didn't get that you'd be onto Scotland Yard lodging a formal complaint!

      1. The Senate
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Good point but it’s incredibly harsh on the defender

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

          Mainland-Miles should know better than to swing a boot like that after that hospital touch

    2. Rojo's Modern Life
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Cuts in front of the defender. Crucial difference.

    3. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Vardy has made a career winning penalties like that

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

    So many goals today, in the games where nobody serious has attacking assets from (Brighton mids permitted)

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

      18 goals & the vast majority won't have one scorer, sums this GW up perfectly!

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

        Yup!

      2. Scapegoat Salah
