With Gameweek 35 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) nearing, our pundits are finalising their teams before Friday’s deadline.
FPL General, who has three top 500 finishes to his name, has been without Erling Haaland (£14.6m) all season. Here, he outlines his plans for the week ahead.
Blank Gameweek 34 Review
The Troops put up a good fight against Free Hit teams last weekend. 60 points were enough for a green arrow from 520k to 450k.
My two free transfers brought in Ollie Watkins (£8.8m) and Xavi Simons (£6.5m) for the injured duo Hugo Ekitike (£9.1m) and Anthony Gordon (£7.4m).
The Aston Villa forward’s blank against Fulham was frustrating, and Simons now has a serious knee injury that ends both his season and World Cup dreams. He will be making a swift exit from my squad! Hopefully it will be a successful, speedy recovery.
Harry Maguire (£4.4m) came very close to making it a memorable Gameweek. A headed effort of his was cleared off the line, then he lost the clean sheet late on. It would’ve been one for the FPL scrapbook.
Last Friday, I narrowed the choice to replace Gordon down to Simons and Morgan Gibbs-White (£7.6m), ending on the wrong side. At least Elliot Anderson‘s (£5.6m) late goal softened the blow.
Captain Bruno Fernandes (£10.4m) and Jarrod Bowen (£7.8m) chipped in with three assists to ensure the arrow was green. It’d be lovely to finish the campaign with four more of those!
