Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 35+ starts in just one day’s time as the Premier League season nears its end. With just four rounds of matches to go, there is very little scope for error. Read on to find out how to navigate yet another FPL gameweek.
Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 35+ Picks
Quick Tips
It would be prudent to pick players from sides that still have something to play for. Despite having to play three times a week, these sides will likely be forced into starting their best players.
Goalkeepers
Nick Pope and Dean Henderson both kept clean sheets last gameweek in difficult looking matches. They have tough matches this round as well. However, their long-term holders might just start them regardless.
Looking at the fixtures, Alisson seems to be a great candidate for a clean sheet. His compatriot Ederson also has a decent chance although Manchester City‘s poor away record is a concern.
David de Gea might keep a clean sheet too but it would be difficult to spend a Manchester United slot in him. Also, one has to be wary of Danny Ings on the other side.
Lukasz Fabianski has not kept a clean sheet for ages but he won’t get a better chance than this week when West Ham United face Norwich City in a must-win game for the Hammers.
Defenders
Aaron Wan-Bissaka missed a great chance to score at Villa Park. He makes forward runs regularly and can get an assist at any match. He has a good chance of a clean sheet also.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has not returned attacking points in the last three rounds. However, this round presents another great opportunity for him against Burnley.
It is unclear why Wolverhampton Wanderers are struggling suddenly but Matt Doherty owners will be hoping he could get back to his best in this round against Everton.
Midfielders
Bruno Fernandes is the most in-form player at the moment. He scored once again against Aston Villa. It seems unlikely that Manchester United will make any changes to the winning side so the Portuguese should continue to start. Anthony Martial hit the bar as well and was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet. Manchester United look unstoppable at the moment and one should get their assets in if slots are available.
Kevin De Bruyne ‘only’ got an assist in the 5-0 rout of Newcastle United last round. It was hugely disappointing for those FPL managers who captained him. This gameweek presents another good chance for the Belgian to increase his assist tally. However, his minuted might be managed ahead of next week’s FA Cup Semifinal against Arsenal. Raheem Sterling might get a start after getting benched last round.
Mohamed Salah returned a mammoth 18 points in the last gameweek to punish his sellers. Will the Egyptian get the chance to do that again this round? Or will Jürgen Klopp give him a rest? Sadio Mane was rested in midweek so he should return to the starting XI.
Michail Antonio was really unlucky in the last gameweek. He hit the post and missed another great chance to score. Antonio was threatening throughout and has another great fixture this week at Norwich City. However, the return of Sébastien Haller might mean Antonio gets back in midfield.
Time is running out for Aston Villa. They must pick up three points against Crystal Palace who have nothing to play for. Jack Grealish needs to find his mojo and deliver in this massive game at Villa Park.
Strikers
Jamie Vardy looks to have found his scoring boots again with three goals in the last couple of matches. He has a wonderful fixture at Bournemouth. He wants to win the golden boot and needs to score to see off the challenge from the chasing pack. The cherries give away lots of chances to the opposition and this could be a massive opportunity for Vardy to get a goal or two. Leicester City are deeply embroiled in the fight for Champions League places well. The foxes have dropped to fourth place now, just a point ahead of Manchester United. So, they need to win.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Danny Ings are the closest contenders for the golden boot. Aubameyang has the North London Derby this week which is usually full of goals. However, it will be interesting to see how it plays out this time around with no fans. Mikel Arteta is taking a pragmatic approach these days which might work well for the Gabonese striker in this match. Danny Ings has a tough match on paper but the saints have been really good away from home this season. Manchester United might beat Southampton but a goal from Ings cannot be ruled out.
Mason Greenwood scored again at Villa Park and has now scored four goals in the last three matches. Can the youngster continue his red-hot streak?
