Fantasy Premier League managers have endured a tough Gameweek 34 and almost certainly have questions for the next round of fixtures.

We are hurtling into the final Double Gameweek of the season with the Bench Boost chip looking the most likely to be deployed.

With the fixtures still appearing tricky to navigate, and the captaincy even harder, we have brought together another panel of managers to help you out.

Who’s on the panel this week?

Always Cheating Podcast – The USA’s most popular FPL podcast created by Josh and Brandon

Who Got the Assist? – One of the best known FPL podcasts this side of the Atlantic, the brainchild of Tom and Nick.

                  The concern is Brighton on BB. I have triple wolves but imagine wolves blank vs them.

              The annoying thing is there are no good value defenders who have doubles. Saints and Cathcart are the extent of it and risky still. Saints away twice and watford love to rotate!

    I decided to get Deeney over Murray to save a transfer for this week and thought Deeney could at least match him anyway.

    Murray only started once, blanked in both appearances, still outscored Deeney by 5 points and now I have no choice but to make a transfer 😆

    Comedy gold to be fair, well played FPL gods, well played

    Dunk, Knockaert & Deeney worth a -8 to bring in Cathcart, Højbjerg & Wilson?

    Means I can still BB this week and only non double players would be Robertson, Wilson & Mane.

        Bought them in on WC, but yeah, see your point! Disaster of a WC to be honest.

        Concern with keeping Dunk is I also have Duffy, and after this week I don’t envisage many points from them both.

    I got a red arrow with 58 lol. Took a big hit I guess but still disappointing and I didn't even cock up my captain either!

      Transferring out one of BRI then it probably becomes acceptable

      I think you have to. It will be so hard to get any better bench those last few weeks, spending transfer focusing on bench not worth it. Im thinking maybe 1 hit for Dunk to Cathcart or Boly should be worth it?

      In same boat, and yeah, still doing it. After the GW just gone, Duffy scoring while sat on my bench would just about tip me over the edge...
