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?

    Aguero, King, Rondon

  3. Scotty B
    • 13 Years

    Would you rather keep Richarlison or Maddison?

    1. Kellz86
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Keep Maddison

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      How often would you play each one or is it the same?

      1. Scotty B
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Maddison next two looks ok then last two terrible..

        Richarlison fixtures similar?

    3. FPL_352
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I’d look at getting both out. Maddison horrible fixtures until end of season, Rich off form.

    4. Slitherene
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Richarlison

    5. Positive vibes

      6 years, 8 months ago

      Both out

    6. GnT
      • 10 Years

      Robertson & Laporte & Lloris to Dunk & Duffy(c) & Ryan for -8

    3. Majestic Chanka
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      No but I have some Southampton defense double up magic beans if you are interested...

    4. Richd
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Would do it again for sure.

    5. GnT
      • 10 Years

  11. WannabeScout
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Who is the best striker this week?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Wilson
      Firmino
      Jimenez

    2. _Make
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe Jimenez

    3. WannabeScout
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I have Jimenez Vardy and Deeney 6.7 itb,

      1. Tsssst
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Well it won't be Deeney will it

    4. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Aguero

  12. Slitherene
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    BB 35.

    Ryan. Gunn.
    Duffy. Kolasinac. TAA. Valery. Dunk.
    KdB. Son. Eriksen. Sterling. CHO.
    Jimenez. Aguero. Wilson.

    Any move here, worth a hit?

    A) Dunk/Valery -> Boly
    B) CHO -> Redmond/Fraser

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      B to fraser

    2. Lazaretti
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      B to Redmond

    3. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Redmond got me 1 return in 9 when I had him, whereas Fraser is pretty consistent... So Fraser

      1. Lazaretti
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Both good options. Bournemouth scored 5 against that awful which name I cannot remember. Before that Bou were quite poor. Saints form in general is better imo

  13. waitinginthelonggrass
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Mariappa to Mendy worth a punt?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Mendy won't play both

    2. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      No

  14. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    A) Keep Vardy
    B) Vardy -> Wilson (-4)
    C) Vardy -> Lacazette (-4)
    ???

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      D. Vardy to Firmino?

  15. Lazaretti
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Any suggestions. Leading ML just by 12 pts, rival doesn't have BB left (we both have TC left) He has triple Arsenal (Laca, Ramsey, Kola)

    Using BB GW35

    Foster - Ryan
    Jonny - TAA - Duffy - Laporte - Valery
    Camarasa - Sterling - Eriksen - Son - Mane
    Jimenez - Aguero - Murray

    1.4 itb. Should I try to get some Arsenal players or do something else.

    A) Camarasa to Redmond for free.
    B) Murray & Camarasa to Redmond & 6.9 fwd for -4 (who)
    C) Duffy & Camarasa to Redmond and 5.3 def for -4 (who)
    D) Camarasa & Murray to Ramsey and Llorente for -4 exact money

    TIA

    There’s no obvious Brighton defender replacements so who should I get for 5.1 or less? I’m thinking doubling on Southampton defence may be too much? Already have Valery

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I think we have a perfect storm here.

      Brighton and then Southampton. I would not sir!

      1. The_Fish
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah I see that but the difference is at least Southampton are playing good football and Brighton have been awful for months.

        1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Sure they've improved a tad but these two away fixtures are tough cookies. Maybe just one of their attackers is the order of the day. GL!

    2. Lazaretti
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Kolasinac maybe but wont be nailed for 2 games

  17. Tinmen
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Folks, this is all I need to know this week! On Bench boost.
    Should I use my ft on Duffy to Boly?

    Or should I carry my transfer so I’ll have a better chance to bring in Liverpool assets for the following gameweek as I only have Trent? I was all set on this until Brightons exploits

    1. The_Fish
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I was the same. Planning for Mane and Bobby next week. Don’t think I can face a double Brighton defence again though, so will effectively take a -4 to get rid of one - if I can see a suitable replacement.

    2. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I was hoping to carry a transfer this week but I'm planning one hit now after the Brighton debacle. Use it now. You want another Liverpool player for the Cardiff game anyway.

      1. Tinmen
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Yea but what I would have to take a player out who’s playing twice to get a Liverpool Mid or striker I’m so it would only be one transfer this week

    3. Lazaretti
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Dbl wol defence could be good Brighton and Arsenal at home. They say that wolves doesn't keep cleanies though they also said c Duffy...

  18. Positive vibes
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Hi, what to do with Vardy?
    A. Keep
    B. Replace with Firmino (free)
    Cheers 🙂

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Will getting Firmino restrict your Pool options in GW36?

    2. The_Fish
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I’m keeping Vardy and then probably switching in 36.

    3. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I’m asking the same question but for aguero. I’d rather have salah and mane next week so I would keep Vardy if these are the options

  19. NUFCAndrew
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Which defended (4.9 max) is the best for the run in?

  20. circusmonkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Planning Duffy and Knockaert to Bednarek and Moura (-4).
    Trashes my transfer plans for the remainder of the season (getting ManU players in for the end) but I feel I have to do it after the Brighton debacle.

  21. The Final Boss
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Is Valery fine?

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yep it’s just cramp

  22. Telal
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Who's nailed in Watford defence?a)
    a) Cathcart
    b)Femenia
    c) Mariappa
    d) Kabasele

    1. Lazaretti
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I think A

      1. Telal
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks

    2. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      A

      1. Telal
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        thanks

  23. The Pesci challenge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Vardy to aguero or not?

  24. cescpistols1
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Tielemens + Dunk -> Deulofeu + Best 4.9m defender?

    Already have BRI, SOU and WAT defenders but don't want to double up on them (learnt my lesson this GW).

  25. dbeck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    In your opinion, best Duffy and Deeney replacement for a -4?

    A) rashford and yoshida
    B) gray and Bertrand
    C) Wilson and Cathcart

    1. Nerazzuro
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I'm thinking I will go Monreal + Ings

      From those options, I'd go C

      1. dbeck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers, your ings and monreal suggestion is interesting. I’m not sure on arsenal def and ings injury record. Ings will be on pens and soton looked great going forward so could pay off

  26. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Is Kiko nailed now? Or Janmaat is always going to play one of those 2 games?

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Wasn't Jan bought in because they changed formation for that game. I would be wary of him

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Saying that, he has actually played 90mins in 8/10 of recent games and played 54 & 45 in the two games before the Arse.

        Maybe not a bad shout actually. 🙂

        1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          David's article may help focus the mind rather than my drivel.
          https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2019/04/16/deeney-forces-rethink-as-wildcard-week-worsens/

  27. cescpistols1
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Best defender for the run-in?

    A. Matip
    B. Lascelles
    C. AwB
    D. Adam Smith

  28. Kalou
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    A.yay
    B.nay

  29. The Overthinker

    6 years, 8 months ago

    A) Valery to VVD ( if Val is out )
    B) trippier to VVD

    1. ZeBestee

      6 years, 8 months ago

  30. Riders of Yohan
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Duffy to Cathcart a good enough straight swap?
