The curtailed Gameweek 35 concludes at Goodison Park tonight as Everton host Newcastle United in a fixture that has all the makings of a dead rubber.

The two teams are now surely safe from the threat of relegation and appear to be playing for Premier League prize money only over the remaining matches.

But from a Fantasy perspective, there is still interest in the Merseyside clash, with Free Hit managers investing in the likes of Jordan Pickford, Leighton Baines and Seamus Coleman in their one-week refresh.

All start for the home side tonight.

Meanwhile, those without the chip at their disposal, likely take Magpies assets into this match, with Ayoze Perez, Kenedy and budget defender Paul Dummett among the most likely to feature in squads.

Indeed, Perez is the most signed player on show tonight, having commanded over 133,000+ transfers in ahead of Saturday’s deadline.

That follows a rich vein of form from the Spaniard which has produced three goals and three two assists from his last three Gameweek starts.

Perez sits behind Islam Slimani in the attack tonight, with the Algerian starting a Premier League match for Newcastle for the first time since his loan move from Leicester City.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

        Sounds about right.

    11. villian-ty

      Mahrez -> Sterling - 4?

      This gameweek sucks. All these template picks delivered

      1. MikeDuff
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        That’s why they’re template picks

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Some of them unreasonably template

      2. removed
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Obviously as they were the best options for the gameweek, considering most teams were free to pick whoever they like with the free hit chip.

      3. Clintymints
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        A lot of template picks haven't delivered recently so it's nice when it comes off

      where can I access that projected gw rank spreadsheet?

    14. hogree

      A nice wholesome 69 on a free hit, we'll take it all day long

      How on earth did Keane get away without a second yellow when Gayle beat him to it? Very lucky.

      Kenedy didn't use any force but he had hands on the face of an opponent as well.

      Think ref got it right or he was weak?

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Keane should have been sent off by rights. Two stone wall yellows.

    16. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      The 2 Blank Gameweeks have probably been the 2 highest scoring gameweeks this season prorata

      DGWs are soooooo overrated

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 8 Years

        Hard to disagree with this personally!

      2. Rash

        I've certainly done better in the blanks..

    17. Rainer

      Keane - 3 (30)
      Baines - 2 (28)
      Jagielka - 1 (27)

      Walcott (25) winning goal but tackled four times.

          FPL towers have Keane confirmed.

          1. Hulk Smash
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Bobby Madeley definitely has Keane

            1. Bouncebackability
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Keane looked across knowing what was coming and then just carried on like nothing happened!

        Okay to wait another day for Jesus/Sterling?
        Or will they go up tonight?

        1. Clintymints
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Probably. But if money is super tight, do it

      3. pundit of punts
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Give Keane and Walcott 3 Baps each.

        please make it happen FPL Gods!

        1. CloudSky
          • 9 Years

          Will be lucky to get 1 from Wally.

          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Good for you, Rainer. I was set on that combo, then got stupid, and switched Coleman to Bellerin. So, hedging cost me this time around. I will take my semi gains and go home.

      5. Feloh
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        why are they reducing baines' baps, he was on 29 a few minutes ago.

        1. CloudSky
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Still is.

      6. Viper
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Free hit proving that it is by far the most valuable chip

        1. Prøfeßör …
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Very much this.

        2. CloudSky
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          More than WC?

          1. Limbo
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            WC not really considered a chip. (FH, TC and BB)

          2. Magic Andrés
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            WC doesn't get me anywhere from 50k rank since GW32, FH gets me to 10k overnight

        3. Winter_is_coming
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Totally agree. Get -16 for ideal BB in 34 and my bench score were 14 points. But now i`ve got 80 points from FH.

        4. walkman666
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          And very strategic. This chip needs to stay. Such a good idea.

          1. Deulofail
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Would like it restricted to gameweeks in which there are blanks, personally

            1. Prøfeßör …
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Why?

              1. Deulofail
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                Because I don't like the chips that much, and this would restrict their use so that we can go back to choosing the FPL players we think are the best. At the moment, the chip strategy people use (which is often chosen fairly arbitrarily, or people copying others) can greatly determine the players we pick. If we can limit the effect of the strategy, we can allow each manager to employ their own strategies using the FTs and reacting to football games and news, not having to stick to the (chip) plan.

              Terrible idea

            3. Clintymints
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Idiots need to use it at their own peril

            4. walkman666
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              That is too restrictive. It should be as-is. Use it when you want, and reap rewards or suffer consequences if choice is good or bad. (why would you direct folks?).

              1. Clintymints
                • 16 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                They get enough direction from countless resources!

                1. Deulofail
                  • 9 Years
                  7 years, 7 months ago

                  This. Without the FH chip, people can choose to prepare for blanks or not (or something in between). There's a division of basically 2 strategies, and a continuum between them, which is already a step away from simply choosing the best players based on who you like for the set fixtures ahead. That's not too bad, though.

                  I also don't mind the idea of introducing a FH chip to counter this so we level the playing field again.

                  What I don't like is the FH as it is, which stifles creativity, as MGPT says here: https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2018/03/08/scout-notes-spurs-out-city-through/?hc_page=5#hc_comment_17772850

                  Everyone just comes here and copies everyone else. It's lame as balls. We are all spoonfed.

                  1. Clintymints
                    • 16 Years
                    7 years, 7 months ago

                    Yeah for sure especially when you can pay for the information!

                    I'd like one captain, one wildcard and an independent bap reviewer. At most, one chip.

                    I did far better back in the day figuring out players and teams myself. Rank history proves it.

                    Hell of a lot easier these days. Just pick top 5 form the watch list. Job done.

        5. arndff_
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          FH’s much much better than AOA!

        6. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          It also helped that there was a team in each BGW who had heavily owned players and who scored 5 goals

      7. Darth_Krid
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        76 or 77 all out is a huge success for me! GW35 definitely won out over 31 for the FH chip in my case, although that doesn’t take into account the points I lost carrying utter tripe for weeks leading up into 31. Ironically people like Walcott :p

        1. BUZZBOMB ♡
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          It could have been spectacularly more but a GW 32/33 WC setting up DGW34 and DGW37, GW35 FH definitely won. There will be better/worse stories around when and who we TC or BB - yet to be settled until GW37... and the ditch or keep Salah/ManC etc but generally a good outcome based on sound strategy thus far.

          1. Ibracadabra
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            I am not so sure to be honest. My rival played FH31 and picked up Van Aanholt (7) Stanislas (10) Tosun (13) etc. and beat me by 21 points.

            I played mine this week and scored exactly 21 points more than he did.

            Really depends on the players you picked. If you had gone Mane and Ozil and Sane this week for example, it could still have been a fail, etc.

      8. Clintymints

        Leighton Baines, I could kiss you!

        Cheesecake for all

      9. JONALDINHO

        Baines brings the tally to 73. Thank God for the FH!

        1. CloudSky
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Same, same and same!

          76 thanks to Baines and Ings coming off my bench for Ozil! Finally up to 2nd in my ML!

      10. diesel001
        • 9 Years

        Top 10k average will be around 50pts after hits and bonus

        1. MTPockets
            7 years, 7 months ago

            For the rest of us about 30 according to fffix.

        2. Winter_is_coming
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Summary on my 80 points from FH:

          1) Bellerin fail, when was on Nacho all week
          2) Punt on Ozil and Barnes first sub
          3) David Silva`s 10 points were superb

          1. Point-one short
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Same with chickening out on Monreal and KdB over Silva, which obviously isn't as bad. Mustn't grumble. 🙂

        3. aborg
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I’m on 51k and probably more green arrows as I totalled 68 points on FH with Baines and Perez today, including 2 baps for Baines.

        4. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          That might be the best CS of the season!

          74. reduced 35 points gap with ml leader
          how good is sterling for TC in gw 37?

          1. Winter_is_coming
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            It will be differential pick for sure, but, Kane really can score 3-4 goals in 37. Last season i was chasing and need to be different (not to captain Sanchez). He score 2 in second fixture - game over.

            Three of those have a DGW in 37 at least.

          ** H2H question:

          I’m participating in two H2H leagues. In the first one, I’ve got a fixture next GW while in the second one — I haven’t got any. The second league contains more players.

          Is there a chance a bit larger league to finish not by Top4 but Top8?

          73 all in.

          Was trailing 3 guys and in 4th place 70 points off the leader and now in 2nd place 9 points off top.

          Not to bad at all in 2-3 weeks. If that Jesus/Sterling assist peno went in I'd be laughing, or that sneaky Milner pick! Anyways in with a shot now
