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.

    Would you do

    A) Saka to Trossard

    B) Mateta to Wissa

    C) roll FT

    Thanks

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      10 months, 3 days ago

      B of those two, probably. But rolling also not a bad move

    2. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 3 days ago

      B or C, I would say. Depends if the FT could be better used in the coming weeks.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 months, 3 days ago

        Cheers

        I was most tempted by A

    3. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 3 days ago

      C

  2. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    10 months, 3 days ago

    Bench One:

    A) Trossard
    B) Eze
    C) Evanilson

    I do feel Bournemouth will attack and Evanilson has good chance to get points but same can be said of the other two. Tricky one

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

      I’d probably bench Evanilson

    2. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 3 days ago

      C

  3. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 3 days ago

    Start:
    A) Raya or Martinez
    B) Kiwior or Trippier

    Bench:
    C) Rogers, Sarr or Mateta?

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

      Raya and Tripps for me.

      Currently stuck between benching Sarr and Mateta as well… on the former at the moment

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        10 months, 3 days ago

        Tripps seeming popular at least. Undecided on Raya. He's probably the safe/insurance pick.

        Imagine Mateta would do more damage if I benched, but the matchup suits Sarr a tad more...

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 3 days ago

      A, B and Sarr

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        10 months, 3 days ago

        Whoops, that should be Raya, Trippier as A, B

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          10 months, 3 days ago

          All good, got you thanks!

    3. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 3 days ago

      Martinez
      Trips
      Sarr

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        10 months, 3 days ago

        At the very least, I think this is the answer I want to hear, lol!

        1. Tcheco
          • 8 Years
          10 months, 3 days ago

          Arsenal are all in on the champs league and Mateta is the more potent CPL attacker. Dooo it

    4. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 3 days ago

      Raya, Trippier and I have the same dilemma, currently on Sarr, but unsure between him and Rogers after the FA Cup display

  4. Viper
    • 16 Years
    10 months, 3 days ago

    Bowen or KDB in for Savinho?

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

      Bowen probably safer minutes-wise, KDB more fun (if money no issue)

  5. gomez123
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 3 days ago

    Who we putting the armband of folks?
    I'm currently still on Salah

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

      Mbeumo

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

      Boomo here

    3. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 3 days ago

      Bowen

    4. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 3 days ago

      Trying Isak in the hopes Brighton remain leaky

    5. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 3 days ago

      Mbeumo

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

      Currently on Salah still too

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

      Mbeumo

  6. Joyce1998
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 3 days ago

    Is this worth a - 8? or just do Saka, Asensio >> Bowen, Mbeumo -4?

    Saka, Asensio, Cunha>> Bowen, Mbeumo, Wissa

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

      Definitely the -4

    2. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 3 days ago

      -4 a go go

  7. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 3 days ago

    Play one from
    A Mateta
    B Sarr

    Captain
    1 MO
    2 KDB
    3 Mbeumo

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 3 days ago

      Currently im on
      A3

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

      A
      3

      are my picks

  8. Slam
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 3 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 -> Any defender < 6.0
    B) Salah -> Mbeumo (Sets up some juicy combo's for later)
    C) Anything outside of the box, lets hear it!

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

      Would be reluctant to sell a record-chasing Salah, even for Mbeumo.

      So probably Timber to Collins, Mateta to Watkins or bench Timber for Livramento

  9. Il Capitano
    • 5 Years
    10 months, 3 days ago

    0FT 3.5m ITB

    Raya
    Gvardiol Trippier Munoz
    Salah Mbeumo (C) Sarr Rogers
    Isak Marmoush Mateta

    Martinez - Savinho Kiwior AWB

    Aside from any City leaks, good to stick with this? Half tempted to sell Savinho for Bowen (-4) and bench Sarr, but not sure if it pays off, Sav might get the Southampton game.

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 3 days ago

      Tricky. Probs just stick and save the headache

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

      As Rafa says

  10. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 3 days ago

    2FTs here.

    Thinking Savinho >> Bowen or Mbuemo? Could also do Saka >> the other one? Or Mateta >> Wissa. Which 1, 2 or 3 moves are the best? Thank you all 🙂

    Raya
    Gvardiol Munoz Konsa
    Salah Sarr Saka Savinho
    Isak Mateta Mamoush
    (Areola, Murphy, Estupinan, Burn)

    1. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 3 days ago

      Saka + Savinho > Bowen + Mbeumo looks good

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

      I brought Bowen and Mbeumo both in, for Rashford and Saka, with 2FTs - so I feel like I should advise you to do Sav + Saka to those two!

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        10 months, 3 days ago

        Thanks mate!

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

    Raya
    Nico - Gvardiol - Livramento
    Salah - Eze - Mbeumo - Rogers
    Isak - Mateta - Marmoush
    Areola - Saka - Konsa - Agbadou
    3.4m 1FT BB in 36

    Sell one of them for Bowen?
    A. Eze
    B. Saka
    Another midfielder will be on bench this GW and I want him playing next GW for BB

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

      Would probably sooner sell Saka than Eze at the moment

  12. waltzingmatildas
    • 15 Years
    10 months, 3 days ago

    Would you play
    A) Merino
    B) Evanilson

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 3 days ago

  13. Lecky Legs FC
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 3 days ago

    Palmer or Mbuemo > KDB for a -4 hit?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 3 days ago

      Confused

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 3 days ago

      Selling Buemo for a hit??

        10 months, 3 days ago

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  18. chilli con kone
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 3 days ago

    Chasing a 11pt gap and I have Mbuemo and Wissa.

    Expect rival will captain Mbuemo. Should I punt on Wissa captain or keep it on Bryan?

  19. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 3 days ago

    Sels (raya)
    Konate burn milenkovic (munoz kiwior)

    5 fts, which and whom ?

    A) konate saka to obrien elanga/mbeumo
    B) konate mateta to obrien watkins/wood/wisa
    C) do a & b, but bench whom ?

  20. Jimmy Boy
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 3 days ago

    Best assistant manager for 35-37? Already tripled up on city so fairly set on Frank or Moyes with their fixtures

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 3 days ago

      I'd go Frank as it'll save a transfer to him next week if you go Moyes this week

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years
      10 months, 3 days ago

      Moyes

      Banker - Table bonus - Banker

  21. Paddy Gooner
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 3 days ago

    A) VVD or B) Livramento out for O'Brien ?????

    1. chilli con kone
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 3 days ago

      B unless A frees up funds for a future transfer

      1. Paddy Gooner
        • 10 Years
        10 months, 3 days ago

        Thanks. It does, but i'd rather keep Virgil if he's gonna play and get points, now that Liverpool has won the league

  22. Sky Blue Sun
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 3 days ago

    Start one:
    a) Saliba (BOU) - double up with Raya
    b) Dias (WOL) - double up with Gvardiol
    c) Konsa (FUL)

    1. chilli con kone
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 3 days ago

      C

  23. LFC
    • 3 Years
    10 months, 3 days ago

    Would you do cunha to Watkins?

    Also who to start?

    A) Alison
    B) flekken

    Captain

    1) mbeumo
    2) salah
    3) marmoush

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 3 days ago

      Wouldn't take Cunha out
      Allison at least if he doesn't play Flekken comes in
      Same dilemma, considering going Mbuemo

  24. EWH2020

    TC chip activated.

    Bowen do me proud.

  25. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 3 days ago

    Captain

    Mbuemo
    Isak
    Salah

    Play
    Mateta
    Rogers

    1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 3 days ago

      I am on Mbeumo....already along both of the other two

  26. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    10 months, 3 days ago

    Which transfer:

    A) Evanilson to Wissa
    B) Sarr to Bowen
    C) Sarr to Kudus

    Chasing in ML.
    Have Mbuemo already
    Need a differential so that’s why maybe go with C.

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      10 months, 3 days ago

      A I think

  27. edfiasco
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 3 days ago

    A very decent April has caught me up 1.4mil to 800k or so via BB and Free hit. Jumping off Salah was risky but paid off.

    Im now targeting first in my best mini leagues vs someone who always covers me well.

    Raya
    Gvardiol Milenkivic Trippier
    Saka Martinelli KDB Eze
    Marmoush Mateta Vardy (C)

    Hendo rashford digne Konstantinos

    1FT GTG?

  28. Viper
    • 16 Years
    10 months, 3 days ago

    Saka & Savinho -> Mbeumo & KDB (-4)?

    Bench boosting so can't afford to carry a non starter..

  29. hammersp2000
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 3 days ago

    Play saliba.or livramento when I already have raya in goal?

    Just not sure about double arsenal when they don't have much to play for

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

      Livra

  30. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 3 days ago

    Have a bad feeling Kluivert will troll me from the bench vs Arsenal defence...
