Time is running out to pile up the points in Fantasy Premier League, with Gameweek 35 upon us.

Although not a double gameweek, it is a longer-than-usual edition, with Manchester City hosting Wolves on Friday and the action running through until Monday's match between Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest.

With some sides potentially distracted by their European exploits, there are opportunities for underdogs to strike.

Meanwhile, the three relegated clubs could also be feeling sorry for themselves and, while admittedly a bit forward-heavy, here are five players to look for in FPL Gameweek 35.

Jordan Pickford, Everton (Goalkeeper)

Ipswich are one of the teams whose relegation has been confirmed and have failed to score in their last two games.

They head to Everton on Saturday for the penultimate fixture to be played at Goodison Park, with another already-demoted outfit, Southampton, the last away side to play at "The Grand Old Lady" on May 18.

With Ipswich's tally of 319 shots being the second-fewest in the Premier League and their 33 goals scored only better than their fellow relegated sides, picking Jordan Pickford to keep a clean sheet has to be considered.

The England goalkeeper continues to have his doubters but is always statistically excellent – he has 10 clean sheets for the season, including at Portman Road in October, the third-best in the league – and his 106 saves is fourth in the division.

Antonee Robinson, Fulham (Defender)

Antonee Robinson's 10 assists in 2024-25 mean he is hot property and the Fulham man might prosper against Aston Villa in Saturday's early match.

The USA international faces a Villa side reeling from a nightmare month, crashing out of the Champions League and FA Cup and losing ground in the race for the top five.

The Villans looked both emotionally and physically cooked during Saturday's 3-0 FA Cup semi-final defeat to Crystal Palace, while on the same day, Fulham came from behind to win 2-1 at Southampton.

That kept the Cottagers' European push alive and Robinson can help them further those hopes against Unai Emery's seemingly flagging side.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham (Forward)

Things have not gone well for West Ham since Graham Potter's appointment in January, but captain Jarrod Bowen's levels have not dropped and he could again carry the team against Tottenham on Sunday.

Spurs are all in on their Europa League semi-final matches against Bodo/Glimt and are expected to make changes for Sunday.

Bowen provided two assists in the Hammers' 3-2 defeat at Brighton last Saturday and also came up with the final pass for Kurt Zouma when these two played out a 1-1 draw at the London Stadium last April.

Omar Marmoush, Manchester City (Forward)

Wolves have won six on the spin but are outperforming their statistics and face a resurgent Manchester City on Friday evening.

January signing Omar Marmouish has helped rejuvenate Pep Guardiola's side and he provided another assist in Sunday's 2-0 FA Cup semi-final win over Nottingham Forest.

It is also worth noting that all six of his Premier League goals have come at home, including a hat-trick against Newcastle in February and he is also the joint-top points scorer since Gameweek 25.

Bryan Mbeumo, Brentford (Forward)

There is still a match in Gameweek 34 to go, with Brentford hosting Nottingham Forest on Thursday but the Bees are again in home action against Manchester United on Sunday.

Like Spurs, It is no secret that United's season hinges on their Europa League semi-final against Athletic Bilbao and their trip to Brentford falling between the two legs means they might lack focus in west London.

As of writing, Mbeumo has averaged 7.4 FPL points per game in the last six Gameweeks, providing two goals and an assist against Brighton earlier in the month.
