Gameweek 35 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) concludes this evening with Everton v Manchester City.

Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Starting with the hosts, there are two changes to Everton’s side from last weekend’s defeat to West Ham United.

Merlin Rohl and Tim Iroegbunam get rare starts as Dwight McNeil drops to the bench and Idrissa Gueye misses out entirely.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola mostly reverts to the side he sent out in the second part of Double Gameweek 33.

The one change is Nico Gonzalez in for Rayan Ait-Nouri.

Rodri is not involved again but Antoine Semenyo, absent in the FA Cup semi-final, starts.

LINE-UPS

Everton XI: Pickford, O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko, Rohl, Garner, Iroegbunam, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye, Beto.

Subs: Travers, Patterson, Coleman, Dibling, Alcaraz, Armstrong, McNeil, Barry, George.

Manchester City XI: Donnarumma, Nunes, Khusanov, Guehi, O’Reilly, Silva, Gonzalez, Doku, Semenyo, Cherki, Haaland.

Subs: Trafford, Stones, Aké, Aït-Nouri, Reijnders, Kovačić, Foden, Marmoush, Savinho.

    Cash league rival has no Haaland so would be typical if Haaland C blanks on top of me selling matching Sobz and Hill for WC targeting DGW

    Lovely strike by Doku. Just a shame Cherki happened to give the last pass in the 100 pass roulette.

    Seriously considering TC on Cherki as chasing by 40 ish points.

    If chasing by 30-40 points, TC on NOR is probably the best play. Could wait till 37/38 and go different but he is a consistent threat. Not to mention clean sheets potential.

        Yeah dont do that. Cleans are so fragile and the main currency for defenders. Go for Cherki if you want to go against Robot

          I agree Sir, especially after this result. Very fragile. Will probably wait till 37/38 and play it safe on the robot.

        Semenyo had one poor shot but I think he's played well otherwise. He's been strong in holding off challenges and had one nice moment where he dribbled through a crowd of players and put in a dangerous ball. A bit too wide for FPL purposes, but performance wise I think he's done well.

        Every time he's attempted something he loses the ball. Happened a number of times today.

        I'm surprised I haven't received abuse for this opinion yet. He's treated like a messiah 😆
