🤕 FPL Gameweek 36 team news: Friday’s live injury updates

➡️ We’ve turned an exciting corner in the Fantasy world. Not only is the EFL Play-off game underway – covered thoroughly by Scout – but there are just three remaining Gameweeks in the 2024/25 FPL season. Which means there are very few chances to Wildcard, if you still have it. Some will take a template direction with theirs, but others will punt on mega-differentials like Mikkel Damsgaard.

We’ve turned an exciting corner in the Fantasy world. Not only is the EFL Play-off game underway – covered thoroughly by Scout – but there are just three remaining Gameweeks in the 2024/25 FPL season. Which means there are very few chances to Wildcard, if you still have it. Some will take a template direction with theirs, but others will punt on mega-differentials like Mikkel Damsgaard.

His Brentford team-mates Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa are unanimous Scout Squad picks and amongst this week’s most bought individuals. Eight of The Great and The Good chose to captain Mbeumo in Gameweek 35 and FPL General will likely do so again, using his two free transfers to sell a Crystal Palace attacking duo. That’s despite opponents Tottenham being one of several teams currently ‘on the beach’. 

We’ve asked a bunch of Pro Pundits to name their favourite forwards for the closing weeks – not the suspended Joao Pedro – while Pras unveils the transfer plan that will hopefully land him a triple-digit ranking.

Only the relegated trio can gain Assistant Manager users a table bonus but it still seems wiser to target their opponents. Kevin De Bruyne bagged a weekend winner and now visits Southampton, offering serious armband potential for those wanting to take an alternative route, like penalty-taking Eberechi Eze.

Zophar prefers buying the Man City legend over Bukayo Saka right now, though wouldn’t sacrifice Alexander Isak to raise cash. Joining De Bruyne on an FPL farewell tour is Trent Alexander-Arnold. We’ve therefore reflected on the attacking full-back’s greatest points hauls – not that Gameweek 35’s defeat at Chelsea was one of them, a day when Cole Palmer finally scored.

The midfielder enters form at the right time, yet West Ham talisman Jarrod Bowen is doing even better. At least nine points in three successive matches, about to face a distracted Man United that heavily rotated against Brentford.

Meanwhile, we’ve previewed the FFS Members Cup quarter-finals and still have Captain Sensible to come before Saturday’s deadline, plus the latest opinions of Lateriser.
