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?

Always Cheating Podcast – The USA’s most popular FPL podcast created by Josh and Brandon

Who Got the Assist? – One of the best known FPL podcasts this side of the Atlantic, the brainchild of Tom and Nick.

        Goalposts have changed somewhat over last few seasons which makes it tougher
        I don't invest much time these days but I still enjoy it - lifes not fun if you chuck everything when it doesn't suit.
        I went maverick on wildcard so that's been a big kick in the teeth, fortunately I've still got about 4 left (teeth not wildcards)

      If I hadn’t changed my team at all this week, let alone use my WC I’d be on 91 points (vs the horrid looking 40 I am)

      I am doing crap also and never really got anything going this season but it actually does not bother me in the slightest and i am happy now not worrying every minute of every day at this time of the season trying to close out mini leagues.

        To clarify, I'll still do my damnedest to finish as high as possible but I don't hold out much hope - fate has been sealed. I'm not going to say this season I didn't try or any of that crap, it just didn't work for me.
        But it's only a game.
        I know I can hand it out but this is my effort,good or bad, yeah I've been duff this season but I still enjoy the craic and H2H leagues that I'm in to keep me going as well.
        Boy what a slagging I'm getting especially in family league but I've handed out plenty in the past.
        No excuses.
        But next year....... ??? 🙂

    A Deeney to Ings/Gray/Long in free.
    B Deeney to Wilson ( good single fixture) and Duffy ( cannot afford with Dunk) to Bednarek -4

    does Redmond's immediately recent form suggest he's a better option that JWP? also absolutely crushes him on season threat...

    I'm going to stick with Vardy...disappointed he didn't return this GW, but his away stats are quite impressive and, you know, West Ham.

    so Camarasa to either JWP or Redmond (or someone else under 5.4 if you're offering) is the only move I'm looking to make.

      Own JWP and worried that he's been moved back into the double pivot having played further forward, would steer clear of him.

    Can't say I'm thrilled with Ryan or Duffy in my team. But Deeney has to go.

    So maybe...
    Deeney, Ryan > Wilson, Gunn (-4)?
    - or -
    Drop Duffy instead of Ryan?

    So I WC 34 & managed 48, in my ML I was the only one to WC & you guessed it I got the worst score.
    84 was top score but several 68 & 69!!

      I was within a few points to my ML leader, thinking I have the WC advantage, should be a easy run-in for the last few GWs. Didn't work out that way

      As they said on Always Cheating podcast, judge the WC over a few GWs not 1. You made it with 35 in mind
