It's crunch time in Fantasy Premier League, and Gameweek 35 brings a massive showdown as Manchester City travel to Everton. With the title race heating up and FPL managers looking for every edge, this match could be a game-changer for your fantasy squad.

Pep Guardiola's side heads to Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday, May 4, with kick-off set for 20:00 (UK). City are riding high after their 2-1 FA Cup semifinal win over Southampton at Wembley, but now it's back to business in the league. A win here would keep their Premier League title hopes alive, and they'll need to be sharp against a motivated Everton side chasing European qualification.

Here's the big news for FPL managers: City have a double gameweek in Gameweek 36, with home matches against Brentford and Crystal Palace. That means investing in City players now could pay off big time next week. So, who should you bring in?

Nico O'Reilly (£5.1m) is the Scout's top pick. The defender has been on fire, scoring five Premier League goals this season—the most among City's backline—along with four assists and 13 clean sheets. He's had 36 shots, with 28 coming inside the box and nine classified as big chances. Over the last six matches, only Erling Haaland (£14.5m) has a better expected goals (xG) tally than O'Reilly, and no one else has matched his five big chances in that period. At just £5.1m, he's a steal for your defense.

On the Everton side, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (£5.1m) is in red-hot form. The midfielder has returned points in each of the last three gameweeks, racking up 23 points total. He's a budget-friendly option if you're looking to free up funds elsewhere.

Other players to watch this week include Leeds' Noah Okafor (£5.6m) and Brighton's Pascal Groß. With the FPL deadline on Friday, May 1 at 18:30 (UK), now's the time to fine-tune your squad. Don't miss out on this exciting Gameweek 35—and remember, City's double gameweek is just around the corner!
