Her Clueless Husband is still struggling with the concept of a blank fixture schedule and has another slip up with his selection: read on for more! The double gameweek was certainly exciting, with mixed results for our Double Gameweek assets. Popular single gameweek option, Mo Salah, delivered yet again. You can't bet against him right now! Anyway, the options for the week ahead are depleted for Gameweek 35, with just six fixtures rather than the usual ten. It looks to be favourable games on paper for Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal. The problem is that Liverpool and Arsenal have crucial European Cup semi finals next midweek and Manchester City have nothing left to play for. Expect rotation!

Shield Pick: Mohammed Salah vs West Brom (A)

Anytime Goalscorer Odds: 11/20 Mo Salah is absolutely unstoppable, with just one blank in his last eight games. Interestingly, Liverpool failed to hit the target in the reverse fixture, so expect Salah to rectify that in this one. Champions League rotation could be a problem here, with Roma up next on Tuesday. However, this is the early Saturday kick off, so if the team news is leaked before the deadline then it should make the decision easier. Salah is the safe pick, due to his ownership and the fact that he's on penalties too. If you've a lead to protect, you know what's to do.

Sword Pick: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang vs West Ham (H)

Anytime Goalscorer Odds: 11/20 Aubameyang likely starts due to being cup-tied in the Europa League, however if Arsene Wenger chooses to rest key players ahead of Atletico Madrid on Thursday, you have to fear for Aubameyang's service. He has been pushed to the wing recently, however he has returned in his last five games. Arsenal are always strong at home, Auba is on penalties and Joe Hart is always capable of conceding a load of easy goals. Aubameyang is the ideal pick if you're looking to steal a march on Salah owners.

Form Pick: Ayoze Perez vs Everton (A)

Anytime Goalscorer Odds: 17/5 Perez is in surprisingly blistering form, with 3 goals and 2 assists in his last three games. It seems that he is over-performing and full of confidence. Everton have just one clean sheet in their last four games, so Perez could be an outside chance to capitalise as the form pick. Will you be giving him the armband?

Fixture Pick: Gabriel Jesus v Swansea (H)

Anytime Goalscorer Odds: 7/10 With Aguero out for the rest of the season, Jesus should feature in this one (unless Pep decides to play Sterling as a false 9). It's Manchester City's title winning party and Jesus has three returns in his last four games. If you're looking for a captain from the sky blues, Jesus is a risk that could pay off. Are you going for it?

Reverse Pick: David Silva vs Swansea (H)

Anytime Goalscorer Odds: 19/10 Silva had a superb match when City beat Swansea 4-0 away earlier this season, scoring a brace. Given his personal difficulties this season, and with the title won, we don't know how involved Silva will be for the final few fixtures. He's a man in good form though, having 3 goals and 3 assists in his last six games. Will you opt for the reverse pick?

Punt Pick: Luka Milivojevic vs Watford (A)

Anytime Goalscorer Odds: 13/5 Milivojevic has become the reliable budget midfielder and has elevated himself to be a worthy 4th midfielder. He's got 3 goals and 2 assists in his last four games, with his fair share of set pieces and penalties. There's plenty of aerial threats to pick out in this Palace side and Zaha has won plenty of penalties for him this season. With Watford failing to keep a clean sheet in their last five games, more attacking returns look inevitable. Are you going to take a punt?

Park the Bus Pick: Vincent Kompany vs Swansea (H)

Anytime Goalscorer Odds: 10/1 Clean Sheet Odds: 4/7 I'm relying on Kompany this week, to deliver plenty of returns as captain for the Champions. The party atmosphere will be in full flow at the Etihad, and Vincent has a goal and an assist in his last two appearances. Obviously rotation is a concern for City, but Kompany has started the last four Premier League games and will want to represent his side this weekend. A clean sheet is well within reach, Swansea haven't scored more than 1 goal in their most recent games. Will you be brave enough to captain a defender?

Clueless Husband Pick: Christian Eriksen vs BLANK

Anytime Goalscorer Odds: 0/1 “A blank gameweek? What does that mean?!” My Clueless Husband is due another shock when he reluctantly logs in to his Fantasy Premier League team on Friday evening. He wanted to go with Eriksen, as he's scored in the previous two gameweeks. Who knows where his armband will eventually end up! Until Next Week… Good Luck! Holly. Follow Holly for more FPL insight...
