Injury and Suspension Updates to Note
Leeds United top scorer Noah Okafor has picked up a calf injury that may see him miss out against Burnley.
Mohamed Salah is out with a minor muscle injury. In what is his last season, Arne Slot has confirmed that his star winger will return before the end of the season.
Beto missed Everton’s game against West Ham last week with a head injury that is expected to keep him out longer.
Manchester United’s Luke Shaw may be unavailable for selection against Liverpool with a knock.
Kai Havertz did not feature in Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid, and whether he will feature against Fulham is yet to be confirmed as he is out with a suspected groin injury.
Must-Have FPL Picks
Erling Haaland (£14.6m) is back to scoring ways, while Rayan Cherki (£6.5m), Marc Guehi (£5.1m) and Nico O’Reilly (£5.2m) are also in good form, making them good picks as Man City take on Everton.
On the red side of Manchester is the highly anticipated Manchester United vs Liverpool clash. Choose wisely, but Casemiro (£5.8m) and Bruno Fernandes (£10.4m), Benjamin Sesko (£7.3m), Curtis Jones (£5.4m) and Florian Wirtz (£8.3m) are players FPL managers should consider.
Aston Villa host Tottenham in what should be a straightforward win for Unai Emery’s men, but recent losses to Fulham in the league and Nottingham Forest in the Europa League make this a slightly hard call. With that being said, Ollie Watkins (£8.8m) still stands as a good option, as does Tottenham’s Pedro Porro (£5.2m).
Other Fantasy Football Matchweek 35 options include Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White (£7.6m), West Ham’s Konstantinos Mavropanos (£4.5m), Brighton’s Pascal Grob (£5.5m), and Arsenal’s Gabriel (£7.2m).
