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.

    I think they used to call this “Rope a dope” back in the seventies.
    Different sport, same tactics.

    Not my best few minutes as a NOR and Semenyo owner.

    Only Guehi owners should lose points for that first goal 😡

    Btw Cunha owners, there's rumours online of Brazil and MU coming to an agreement about his playing time for the rest of the season.

    He's apparently struggling with some kind of injury and Brazil want him to be rested for the rest of the season. If it's true is hard to say atm though. Just a heads up.

      Played with an adductor injury apparently vs Liverpool. Pretty much nailed on to finish 3rd. Wouldnt surprise me if they don't give Zirkzee and Mount etc some mins

        Dammit, forces an unplanned transfer for me. As if I didnt have enough problems in my team. I’ll take the one goal though

      I’d like to apologise. I refreshed the app to look at my O’Reilly and Nunes cs points just prior to Everton’s first goal. Sorry
