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?

    Just catching up with the scoutcast. I like Adam. Nice differential. 😀 speaks sense and covers all options.

        Yes. Very refreshing. Been pretty same old same old so far this season. Bounces well off AZ and Jonty.

            Yes me too. We took the same advice! I planned gw31 & 33 from gw26. Ridiculously way out for me. Worked reasonably well.

    Some help for final changes:

    BB and 0.4 ITB.

    Team:

    Lloris / Foster
    Van Dijk / Kola / Valery / Wan Bisaka / Boly
    Sterling / Hazard / Mane / Son / Camarasa*
    Aguero / Jim / Rashford *

    I want to take a -4 for Camarasa and Rashford > Redmond and Wilson

    I can also do different combos of: Any southampton striker + Moura / Fraser / Brooks.

    Otherwise any input appreciated.

      Rashford has great fixtures last two, you might want him back then. I'd be tempted to either roll FT or move Cama to Hojbjerg.

        Thanks mate, perhaps you are right. Deffo not an easy choice. And perhaps trying to utilize all positions for BB is not the best strategy and keeping it simple as is.

    1. Duffy->Robbo (Exact cash atm). Safe option.

    2. Vardy-> Aubameyang. (Vardy has a nice fixture himself but fancying Auba to pick things up a lot and would C). Taking a chance with this one.

    Duffy to Boly for -4?
    That hit can be made up by appearance points considering the goals Brighton can give away...

      Why have neither been rested all season and it now April?

      League might go to goal difference (doubt it but it might)

      Why wouldnt they batter Huddersfield early then bring them off.

      Pool have beautiful 3 day rests between matches and a Friday night before Barcelona is perfect! If they don’t take Porto for granted

        yeah they will most likely play with full strength but early sub is possible. thanks

    Which 3 teams have the hardest DGW 35 attacking wise

    I think Brighton, Man Utd and Southampton

    Same question but defensive wise?

    I think Brighton, Man City and Man Utd (maybe arsenal)

    Jimi might do well but there is no way I'm not captaining Aguero in a double game week. No wavering, first and last game, both televised 😎

      But Agüeros games are much tougher (Spurs and United). He also play Champions League.

        Don’t have Kun but if I did I’d captain him. Defo a big game player

    Good to go?

    Leno (Ryan)
    Doherty, Vertonghen, Valery, Van Dijk (Duffy)
    Sterling, Eriksen, Jota, Mane (Camarasa)
    Jimenez (TC), Agüero (Deeney).

    Or something worth a hit?

    Thank you!

        I think not so much. Jimenez will play against an awful Brighton and Arsenal is also not so solid. He also play not Champions League or Europa League.
