With the next Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline nearing, we’re hearing from our panel of guest writers. Here, three-time top 500 finisher FPL General talks through his Gameweek 36 team.

FPL General reveals his first draft for 2024/25 1

Gameweek 35 Review

General Gameweek 36

I almost achieved the elusive grey arrow in Gameweek 35! The troops ended up on a tiny red arrow, dropping from 25,153 to 25,334. Hopefully, that’s the last red one for the remainder of the campaign. 

The transfer was rolled so there are now two available for the upcoming round of fixtures. The armband went to Bryan Mbeumo (£8.2m) in the end, having contemplated going with Kevin De Bruyne (£9.5m) or Omar Marmoush (£7.6m) on the Friday night.

Double Arsenal defence and triple Crystal Palace let the side down. The Palace guys, in particular, are on the chopping block this week with the FA Cup final around the corner.

    No press conference times from Sky or BBC today yet! Will be hovering over X and Sky Sports News over the coming hours in case there are any.

        If passed off by Frank that'll be my Murphy/Sarr-Schade deal before he rises tonight.

    What is the best use of my FT this GW

    Robertson > Sessegnon
    Marmoush > Wood

    Rest of Team

    Raya Verbruggen

    Gvardiol Konsa Munoz Kiwior Robertson

    Sarr Salah Eze Murphy KDB

    Marmoush Isak Wissa

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      IF you can wait for leaks on Marmoush benched, I'd get Wood.
      Otherwise Robbo to RAN maybe...

    Early thoughts this week...

    If we find Marmoush is benched, would you play Rogers or -4 to get Cunha or Wood?

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Rogers

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      R

    3. Drizzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Got to attack the last 3 GWs. Hit in Cunha.

  4. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    Need your thoughts here please...
    1ft & 2.2itb

    Sels
    Milenko Munoz Gvardiol
    Mneumo Salah Rogers Bowen
    Isak Marmoush Mateta
    Raya Murphy Saliba Bradley

    Bowen to (K)dB only? Mateta to Wissa -4?

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      i’d keep bowen with upcoming games , just do wissa move

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Have to het KdB and captain for my ML. Will get Bowen back gw38.
        Too scared to do Salah to KdB.
        Mateta to Wissa worth a hit you think?

        1. Cojones of Destiny
          • 7 Years
          7 months, 1 day ago

          i’m even debating to do it for free mate 🙂 not worth it imo

          1. My heart goes Salalalalah
            • 8 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            Yeah even an assist from Mateta and it's most likely a loss. Cheers

  5. Cojones of Destiny
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    Mateta to Wissa worth it for free? y/n already got Mbeumo

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Definitely worth it if no other issues

    2. SligoRovers1928
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Seems good yeah, wood has better fixtures tho

    3. Manani
      • 14 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      rank these for this week:

      A. Murphy
      B. Sarr
      C. Munoz

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Too tough mate. That will be just pure luck.... ABC if I have to

      2. Conners
        • 6 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        BCA for me

        Spurs have a mid-week game involving a 2400 mile round trip. I doubt they'll be at their best.

        Murphy probably gets the least minutes too.

    4. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Would you go for Collins or Milenkovic for the remainder of the GWs?

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Collins

    5. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Mateta to ?
      Already have Wissa and Mamoush.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Cunha easy

      2. Sun God Nika
        • 5 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        C

        1. Sun God Nika
          • 5 Years
          7 months, 1 day ago

          UNHA

      3. Cojones of Destiny
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        wood

      4. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        I like Cunha in this case

      5. SligoRovers1928
          7 months, 1 day ago

          I went for a walk outside
          I live near a forest
          I got inspired
          To pick up Wood

      6. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        A) Glasner to someone
        B) Evanilson to Cunha
        C) Rogers to KDB

        1. Cojones of Destiny
          • 7 Years
          7 months, 1 day ago

          c

        2. ebb2sparky
          • 15 Years
          7 months, 1 day ago

          Rogers looks like a good pick for gw37 and gw38 so I’m keeping and benching this week. Is there anyone else you can sell for KDB?

      7. ebb2sparky
        • 15 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Who would be your priority transfer in this week from
        A) KDB
        B) Cunha
        I really want Cunha for the last 3 but KDB vs Southampton is very tempting. Maybe it’s worth -4 to get both?

        1. Haa-lala-land
          • 5 Years
          7 months, 1 day ago

          I don't mind the minus four for Cunha and KdB
          I expect though that whichever striker you are taking out (Mateta I expect) will probably score. Just need Cunha to score twice, which he could.

      8. dshv
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Bench one:

        1. Savinho
        2. Sarr
        3. Mateta

        1. ebb2sparky
          • 15 Years
          7 months, 1 day ago

          Probably 2 dependent on early city team news

      9. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Which transfer to make?

        A. Raya > Sels

        B. Munoz/Kerkez > one of Sessegnon/RAN

        B feels like more upside and A feels like more certain chance of a points increase

      10. Letsgo!
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Sell welbeck to wissa
        And salah to kdb for -4?

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 months, 1 day ago

          Go for it

          Or just the first part?

        2. ebb2sparky
          • 15 Years
          7 months, 1 day ago

          Personally I wouldn’t sell Salah for a hit unless the money was desperately needed to fund another transfer.

        3. SligoRovers1928
            7 months, 1 day ago

            1st one yes, salah gone if you’re low on rank only

        4. Els365
          • 3 Years
          7 months, 1 day ago

          Would you change anything? Team as follows

          Sa (Henderson)
          Gvardiol, Neco, Vvd (Burn, Saliba)
          Salah, Elanga, Kdb (c), Bowen (Rogers)
          Isak, Wissa, Watkins

          1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
            • 9 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            No

        5. g40steve
          • 7 Years
          7 months, 1 day ago

          Best Cap Wissa, Mbeumo or KDB?

          Areola,
          RAN, Gvardiol, Milenkovic,
          Salah, KDB, Mbeumo, Bowen
          Wissa, Isak, Marmoush

          Raya, Sarr, Burn, Timber,

          3.1

          1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
            • 9 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            Mbeumo

            1. g40steve
              • 7 Years
              7 months, 1 day ago

              Thx

          Gvardiol Munoz Konsa
          Salah Mbeumo(c) Eze Mateta Semenyo
          Watkins Marmoush

          Raya Rogers Burn Saliba

          A) Watkins to Wood
          B) Watkins to Wissa
          C) Roll

          1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
            • 9 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            Keeping Mateta?

            1. No Professionals
              • 8 Years
              7 months, 1 day ago

              toss up between watkins and mateta really. neither in great form.

              1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
                • 9 Years
                7 months, 1 day ago

                Watkins to Wissa

        7. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 9 Years
          7 months, 1 day ago

          I have Mbeumo and Marmoush. Which option makes more sense rhis week:

          A) Mateta to Wissa. Play Sarr.
          B) Foden to Schade. Play Mateta.

          1. Silecro
            • 8 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            Wissa is a best player here currently but in your situation I would look to get rid of Foden ASAP, so B then

          2. Crystal Alice
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            Play Mateta vs Spurs

        8. Pep Roulette
          • 8 Years
          7 months, 1 day ago

          Why do people think that Marmoush would be benched?

          1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
            • 9 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            Worst case scenario. I personally feel he won't be.

          2. Drizzle
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 2 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            They don't.

          3. Haa-lala-land
            • 5 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            Which people?

          4. Tonyawesome69
            • 6 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            I think it might be on the basis if Haaland starts and unclear how Pep will fit in Haaland/Marmoush/KDB. I don't think Pep has started all 3 before, it's been Haaland/Marmoush or Marmoush/KDB

            1. Conners
              • 6 Years
              7 months, 1 day ago

              Good point Tony.

              I'd be surprised if Haaland starts rather than getting minutes from the bench mind you.

            2. Tonyawesome69
              • 6 Years
              7 months, 1 day ago

              GW23: Haaland/Marmoush start - KDB on for Marmoush 74 mins

              GW24: Haaland/Marmoush start - KDB on for Marmoush 72 mins

              GW25: Haaland/Marmoush start - KDB unused sub

              GW27: Haaland/Marmoush start - KDB unused sub

              GW28: Haaland start - KDB and Marmoush subbed on 69 mins. Losing 1-0 to Forest when Pep had all 3 on the pitch

              GW29: Haaland/Marmoush start - KDB on for Marmoush 86 mins

          5. Conners
            • 6 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            Marmoush has played 6 times with Haaland this season and got 70+ minutes in five of them.

            I don't see him getting benched.

            1. Mirror Man
              • 1 Year
              7 months, 1 day ago

              Marm'who'sh?

          6. SligoRovers1928
              7 months, 1 day ago

              Because they want to bring in Haaland

          7. Old Wulfrunian
            • 9 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            Best midfielder up to 8.6 except Rogers/Mbeumo?

            1. No Professionals
              • 8 Years
              7 months, 1 day ago

              Bowen

              1. Sho-kun
                • 8 Years
                7 months, 1 day ago

                this

          8. JY84
            • 10 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            My current squad is:
            Areola (Raya)
            Dias Gvardiol Munoz (Timber Konsa)
            Sarr Mbeumo Salah Murphy (Rogers)
            Isak Marmoush Mateta

            2FTs. Which is the better option? I personally prefer A but not sure if its the right option!
            (A) Take a -4 and get Neco Williams + KDB + Wissa for Dias, Murphy & Mateta
            (B) Dun take a hit and get Bowen and Wissa for Murphy & Mateta

            Regarding Spurs v Palace according to Sofascore: Last time Crystal Palace has won at Spurs was a 2016 in FA cup tie.

            On Premier league last time Crystal Palace has won at Spurs was in 1997...
            (Crystal Palace did spent quite a bit of time in the Championship after 2004-2005 season)

            15 matches (between 1994 - 2024)

            10 wins for Tottenham at home
            3 draws
            2 wins for Crystal Palace away

            Goals average: TOT 1.47 - CRY 0.33

            And suddenly now i am second guessing whether to keep Sarr & Mateta...

            7 months, 1 day ago

            If Murillo is out I'll have to use my FT this week to get in another defender, but strugling to see the good pick. Any good shouts? Have considered just bringing in Aina or Milenkovic, but a boring move. Ruben Dias another option to double on City.
            Current backline is Gvardiol-Munoz-Murillo*-(Kerkez-O'Shea)

            1. CoracAld2831
              • 4 Years
              7 months, 1 day ago

              RAN

            2. Conners
              • 6 Years
              7 months, 1 day ago

              Forest def, Collins, RAN or Sessegnon are probably the best picks.

              1. Steavn8k
                • 2 Years
                7 months, 1 day ago

                Cheers. Yeah RAN and I have history and it's not great, but might be a good differential.

                1. Mirror Man

                    7 months, 1 day ago

                    It's like I've given him so many chances to prove himself for this relationship to work, but he's let me down time and time again. I'm just not sure, I can do this anymore.

                    1. Mirror Man
                      • 1 Year

                      It's always the good ones eh. Heart breakers.

              I've seen insta shots of him and separately Milenkovic walking around in tracksuits etc

              1. Steavn8k
                • 2 Years
                7 months, 1 day ago

                So that's positive, no?

            Pffft! Ok FFS peeps, getting kind of bored of seeing last weeks predictive line-ups. Know you're getting sort of short staffed & pissed up on watered down VE day beer but just clear them if you can't update them.

              The scout team slacking off? Surely not

                Annoying and unnecessary comment. Please refrain from such nonsense in future.

                Thanks.

            Does anyone fancy a cheeky Salah captaincy or even triple captaincy punt?

              Not this week. Mbeumo for me.

                This could be an opportunity. Big FPL (and therefore their followers) are ignoring Salah at home.

                  You've been warned already.

              I personally wouldn't use TC this GW, as I've already used it in 33.

                If you had a melted cheese and worcestershire sauce sandwich would you eat it now, or later?

                Basically I want to know how hungry you are.

                Yurt.

              Since when do price changes happen at midnight? Went on to do Mateta to Wood around 12:15 and he had gone up .1

                    There appears to have been a misunderstanding.

                    It's two words. I'm not a mind reader.
