With the next Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline almost upon us, we’re hearing from our panel of guest writers. Here, three-time top 500 finisher FPL General talks through his Gameweek 35 team.

FPL General reveals his first draft for 2024/25 1

Gameweek 34 Review

The Free Hit was solid, if not spectacular. I could’ve done without the Jose Sa (£4.4m) penalty save and Ryan Sessegnon (£4.2m) scoring a late winner, but a green arrow is a green arrow! 

The troops went from 28k to 25k. I was having a look back on the season earlier today and I’ve barely moved in rank over the past few months. I was 25k in Gameweek 16, 24k in Gameweek 26, and now we’re back in the same spot.

A top 50k finish and I’m satisfied with the campaign, but I’d like to make a little push towards the top 10k for these final four Gameweeks.

I was quite happy to learn that there won’t be any more blanks or doubles for the rest of the season. It suits me having already used all the chips. As an old-fashioned, traditional FPL manager, four regular Gameweeks is right up my street.

    Which combo?
    1 - Mbuemo (selling Saka) and Moyes AM
    2 - Ndiaye (selling Mateta) and Glasner AM (potential table bonus)

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      1

  2. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    Any chance Timber starts?

    1. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      They have had 4 days rest and don't play for another 4 days. I don't see why any of them get a rest

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        10 months, 2 days ago

        Risk of injury, give fringe players some minutes, Timber had a shocker midweek - there are plenty of reasons

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          10 months, 2 days ago

          This is why Timber could start and White for RM

      2. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 months, 2 days ago

        League gone and injury worries for RM

      3. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 2 days ago

        They will likely get mins off the bench depending on game state

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      Low chance, should be Ben White RB

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 months, 2 days ago

        Probably. Timber second on my bench atm

  3. DARE TO BISCAN
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    a) Asensio > Bowen (-4), bench Sarr
    b) play Sarr (along with Mateta)

    Leaning towards A, as frees up a move to Watkins in 37. What you reckon?

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      A

    2. Bobkat
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      I’ve done A

  4. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    Play:

    A) Williams
    B) Kilman

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      A

  5. Lecky Legs FC
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    Best defender for £5.6 or under for rest of the season not Forest,Newcastle,Liverpool or Bournemouth?

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      O'Brien Eve?

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 10 Years
        10 months, 2 days ago

        Was actually hovering over him then thinking I’m going to lock it in now cheers

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      Maybe Collins?

  6. Joyce1998
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    Best option here

    A- Slot, Asensio>> Moyes, Mbeumo
    or
    B- Saka, Asensio>> Bowen, Mbeumo

  7. McSwegan
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    Current defence

    Raya
    Kiwior Munoz Gvar

    Bench:Areola/Burn/Milen

    A. Raya > Areola
    B. Kiwior > Burn

    Transfer 1FT

    1. Sarr/Saka > Bowen
    2. Mateta > Wissa (Already have Mb)

  8. focaccia
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    Unsure of team selection - thoughts? Also am chasing in my ML so fancy a punt on captain choice. Thinking Wissa or Marmoush…

    Areola

    Burn, Gvardiol, Mykolenko

    Eze, Salah, Mbuemo, Murphy

    Wissa, Isak, Marmoush

    Subs: Raya, Saliba, Munoz, Bellagrande

  9. Bobkat
    • 3 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    Bottomed. Really can’t decide which two to play, any help much appreciated
    A)Konsa
    B)Ruben
    C)Munoz
    D)Saliba

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      BC

      1. Bobkat
        • 3 Years
        10 months, 2 days ago

        Cheers

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      Would probably play C D

      1. Bobkat
        • 3 Years
        10 months, 2 days ago

        Thanks, that’s what it’s on at the moment

    3. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      I'm playing BC from BCD

      1. Bobkat
        • 3 Years
        10 months, 2 days ago

        Cheers. Already playing Gvardiol so can’t decide if I should double up or not.

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 9 Years
          10 months, 2 days ago

          I was doubled up on City, but landed on CD. When in doubt, play it safe I guess

  10. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    Who is everyone captaining ??

    1. Bobkat
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      Currently on Salah but tempted by Mbeumo

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      Mbeumo at the moment, although not very confidently. It’s the gut move though, and I’ve been burnt by going against that recently, so will probably stick with it!

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      Cheers both.

    4. WVA
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      Salah C Mbeumo VC

    5. Mighty Duck
      • 1 Year

      Isak

    6. Sailboats

      Salah

  11. Dubem_FC
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    My midfield is Sarr, Salah, Bowen, Murphy and Trossard. Who do I sell for Mbeumo?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      Sarr

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      Sarr

  12. psl
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    Doing Saka to Mbeumo. Should I also do Mateta to Wissa or Merino to Bowen for -4? Or both? Or neither?

    Thanks in advance!

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      No

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  13. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    What to do? I've got 1FT + 0.1M ITB. Thinking of bringing in Mbuemo or roll?

    Raya
    Gvardiol Kiwior Munoz
    Salah (C) Saka KDB Rogers
    Mateta Marmoush Isak

    Areola Sarr Livramento Williams

    A) Saka to Mbuemo
    B) Sarr to Mbuemo
    C) Saka and Sarr to Bowen and Mbuemo -4pts

      A

  14. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    Saka and Rashford out, Mbeumo (c) and Bowen in with 2FT. £4.8m ITB rolling into next week.

    Raya (Areola)
    Gvardiol Muñoz Konsa (Milenković Bradley*)
    Salah Mbeumo Bowen Murphy (Sarr)
    Isak Mateta Marmoush

    Good luck all!

      2. FPL Scoop

      benching sarr? wow

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        10 months, 2 days ago

        Debating playing him over Mateta… would you?

        Have just about had enough of him over the last few GWs, really just that FA Cup performance against my boys that’s swaying me

    4. WVA
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      Saka might start?

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 months, 2 days ago

        Said no one

        1. FPL Scoop
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          10 months, 2 days ago

          😆

      2. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        10 months, 2 days ago

        May well do but will take it on the chin if he does - sick of the recent benchings and blank. Could very well be benched again too, and then it’s Liverpool away + Newcastle next two. On paper, would rather a nailed on Bowen v distracted Spurs and United

    5. Oasthouse FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      Have very similar team, can’t decide between mbuemo or Bowen captain!

      Good luck!

  15. Atwood
    • 15 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    Wouldn't mind saving an FT. Anything concerning here?

    Raya
    Saliba - Gvardiol - Konsa
    Salah - Rogers - De Bruyne - Trossard
    Isak - Marmoush - Mateta

    Areola - Sarr - Burn - N.Williams

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      Looks good, definitely fine to save

  16. TochanMama
    • 13 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    NFO or NEW, who's more likely to keep a clean sheet?

    1. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      New

    2. dhamphiir
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      Newcastle

    3. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      Probably Toon

  17. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    2 FT and thinking of switching out Mateta

    A - WIssa
    B - Watkins
    C - Keep Mateta and roll

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      B if you have Mb

  18. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    On a WC35, how much would you plan for this possible Spurs/Villa DGW36?

    Was hoping the announcement yesterday meant the request to move the fixture had been rejected but it seems not

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      Probably wouldn't have any Spurs regardless of double. Both teams will blank in 37. You could start with Rogers and Watkins as they are both good picks on WC35 anyway

      1. ryacoo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 months, 2 days ago

        Think I'll stick with Isak over Watkins either but it's also BB I've got to decide on

        Was leaning toward BB37 but a DGW36 would ruin that plan

  19. WhatWouldYourZlatanSay
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    Sarr + Mateta> Bowen+Wissa (-4) worth doing?

    Can’t find a way of getting Mbeumo in without taking KDB out.

  20. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    1 FT and need to create some cash for AM chip next week so;

    A) Mateta to Wissa (play Sarr, bench Saka). Captain Salah (most likely)

    B) Saka to Mbeuemo (bench one of Mateta or Sarr). Captain Mbeuemo.

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      A is pretty appealing as a differential move, though B obviously frees more cash

    2. FFS ManU
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      I am probably going to do B myself.

  21. waltzingmatildas
    • 15 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    A) Merino to Mbeumo
    B) Saka to Mbeumo
    C) Saka to KDB
    D) Merino, Saka to Mbeumo, KDB (-4) and BB

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      B

  22. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    If chasing… would you do Kudus instead of Bowen?
    Rivals likely to have Bowen.

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      Probably not, Bowen far superior pick imo

  23. cheekymonkeytoo
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    Whose less likely to disappoint?

    A) Isak, or
    B) Watkins

    1. tim
      • 16 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      B

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      A

    3. dhamphiir
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      A

  24. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    Bench Sarr?

    Salah - Mbeumo - Murphy - Rogers - Sarr
    Isak - Mateta - Wood

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      Yea. Bench him or Mateta imo, take your pick.

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      Yes

  25. Partey McFly
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    Help needed Guys and Gals

    Best Captain

    A) Marmoush
    B) Isak
    C) Mbeumo

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      Would go C if I had him

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      A is tempting

  26. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    Evanilson to Watkins for -4?
    If so, Watkins will start over Trossard and Eze. Or can wait on Watkins for another week or two

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      No

  27. tim
    • 16 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    Martinez or Raya?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      Raya

    2. tim
      • 16 Years

      Cheers

  28. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    Anything worth a hit?

    Raya
    Kiwior, Gvardiol, Munoz
    Salah, KDB, Sarr, Rogers
    Isak, Mateta, Marmoush

    Areola, Saka, Livramento, Kerkez

    1. tim
      • 16 Years
      10 months, 2 days ago

      Looking good, im starting livra instead of munoz, actually my bench is all palace 😀

  29. putana
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    Frank or Pep?

  30. Slam
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 2 days ago

    Really out of the loop, any help would be great:

    Raya
    Gvardiol Saliba Timber(!)
    Salah KDB Bowen Sarr
    Isak(C) Marmoush Mateta

    Henderson... J.Murphy Murilo Livramento
    1 FT... 0.3 ITB

    A) Timber -> Mykolenko
    B) Salah -> Mbeumo (Sets up some juicy combo's for later)
    C) Anything outside of the box, lets hear it!
