With the next Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline nearing, we’re hearing from our panel of guest writers. Here, three-time top 500 finisher FPL General talks through his Gameweek 36 team.

FPL General reveals his first draft for 2024/25 1

Gameweek 35 Review

General Gameweek 36

I almost achieved the elusive grey arrow in Gameweek 35! The troops ended up on a tiny red arrow, dropping from 25,153 to 25,334. Hopefully, that’s the last red one for the remainder of the campaign. 

The transfer was rolled so there are now two available for the upcoming round of fixtures. The armband went to Bryan Mbeumo (£8.2m) in the end, having contemplated going with Kevin De Bruyne (£9.5m) or Omar Marmoush (£7.6m) on the Friday night.

Double Arsenal defence and triple Crystal Palace let the side down. The Palace guys, in particular, are on the chopping block this week with the FA Cup final around the corner.

    I really want Cunha for the last 3 but KDB vs Southampton is very tempting. Maybe it’s worth -4 to get both?

      I expect though that whichever striker you are taking out (Mateta I expect) will probably score. Just need Cunha to score twice, which he could.

    Regarding Spurs v Palace according to Sofascore: Last time Crystal Palace has won at Spurs was a 2016 in FA cup tie.

    On Premier league last time Crystal Palace has won at Spurs was in 1997...
    (Crystal Palace did spent quite a bit of time in the Championship after 2004-2005 season)

    15 matches (between 1994 - 2024)

    10 wins for Tottenham at home
    3 draws
    2 wins for Crystal Palace away

    Goals average: TOT 1.47 - CRY 0.33

    And suddenly now i am second guessing whether to keep Sarr & Mateta...
