<p>A dramatic 3-3 draw between Everton and Manchester City was among the highlights of FPL Gameweek 35 &#8211; but a late rescue act from <strong>Jeremy Doku</strong> was far from the only action in a gameweek heavy on goals.</p>

<p>Haulers documents the biggest stars of the week, howlers and heartbreakers the disappointments and disasters, while things you might have missed are included in the hidden highlights.</p>

<h2>FPL Gameweek 35 haulers</h2>
<h3>🥇 Viktor Gyokeres &amp; Taiwo Awoniyi &#8211; 16 points</h3>
<p>13% owned Gyokeres rewarded his owners with a brace and assist in Arsenal&#8217;s convincing 3-0 win over Fulham, with which the Gunners finally bought themselves some breathing room in the Premier League title race.</p>
<p>The man who tied him for points comes in at just 0.3% FPL ownership, but that too was part of a thoroughly impressive attacking display as as heavily rotated Nottingham Forest side put Chelsea to the sword.</p>
<p>Gyokeres looks like one of several premium Arsenal assets worth targeting for the final gameweeks, alongside <strong>Gabriel </strong>and <strong>Bukayo Saka </strong>who will play a key role in the final fixtures as Mikel Arteta&#8217;s side fend off Manchester City.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>🥈 Jeremy Doku &#8211; 15 points</h3>
<p>It&#8217;s hard to fault the finishing displayed by Doku in Manchester City&#8217;s 3-3 draw at Everton, with the Belgian showcasing his quality in front of goal through a fine left-footed effort in the first half.</p>
<p>The 23-year-old eventually salvaged a point for Manchester City with his second curling effort of the game &#8211; this time with his right foot &#8211; but it wasn&#8217;t enough to keep Pep Guardiola&#8217;s side from losing ground in the title race, who at least have the respite of some favourable home fixtures in Double Gameweek 36.</p>
<p>Doku meanwhile could be worth consideration as a differential midfield pick, offering a unique outlet for City on the left flank, with <strong>Antoine Semenyo</strong> deployed predominantly on the right in recent gameweeks.</p>
<div id="attachment_79179" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-79179" class="wp-image-79179 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/headtoheadheatmap-Doku-vs-Semenyo-bordered-1.jpeg" alt="" width="840" height="690" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/headtoheadheatmap-Doku-vs-Semenyo-bordered-1.jpeg 840w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/headtoheadheatmap-Doku-vs-Semenyo-bordered-1-300x246.jpeg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/headtoheadheatmap-Doku-vs-Semenyo-bordered-1-768x631.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px" /><p id="caption-attachment-79179" class="wp-caption-text">Doku v Semenyo, heatmap last six gameweeks</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>🥉 Marcos Senesi &#8211; 14 points</h3>
<p>Only <strong>Gabriel </strong>and <strong>Marc Guehi </strong>have more points among defenders than Senesi this season, and the Bournemouth man produced yet another haul in Gameweek 35.</p>
<p>No player has earned more defensive contribution points since the introduction of the renewed scoring system, with Senesi tied on 48 points with <strong>Elliot Anderson</strong>.</p>
<p>Gameweek 35 saw Senesi win a penalty as well as picking up defensive contribution points, and the Argentine was in the thick of it in the 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace, as the Cherries picked up their tenth clean sheet of the season &#8211; only four teams have managed more.</p>
<div id="attachment_79176" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-79176" class="wp-image-79176 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Top10Teams-clean_sheets-bordered-2.jpeg" alt="" width="840" height="690" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Top10Teams-clean_sheets-bordered-2.jpeg 840w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Top10Teams-clean_sheets-bordered-2-300x246.jpeg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Top10Teams-clean_sheets-bordered-2-768x631.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px" /><p id="caption-attachment-79176" class="wp-caption-text">Total clean sheets so far this season</p></div>
<h2>FPL Gameweek 35 howlers</h2>
<h3>Palmer misses penalty for lacklustre Blues &#8211; but Pedro delivers</h3>
<p>It was far from a classic defensive display for Chelsea under Calum MacFarlane, although there were chances to be had at the other end for the Blues.</p>
<p>There was huge disappointment for those who took a gamble on <strong>Cole Palmer </strong>as the England man missed a penalty, while <strong>Joao Pedro </strong>left it late to convert an elegant bicycle kick.</p>
<p>Despite what looks like a tough trip to Anfield on paper, there will be temptation to hold Chelsea attacking assets given the inconsistency Liverpool have displayed in recent weeks.</p>
<div id="attachment_79174" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-79174" class="wp-image-79174 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/playerstats-Joao-Pedro-bordered-10.jpeg" alt="" width="840" height="690" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/playerstats-Joao-Pedro-bordered-10.jpeg 840w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/playerstats-Joao-Pedro-bordered-10-300x246.jpeg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/playerstats-Joao-Pedro-bordered-10-768x631.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px" /><p id="caption-attachment-79174" class="wp-caption-text">Joao Pedro&#8217;s <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1" title="FPL Stats by OPTA - Player and Team Stats">stats</a></p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Brighton defence falls short, Welbeck and Hinshelwood combine ahead of Wolves</h3>
<p>It was a 3-1 defeat for Brighton on the road in Gameweek 25, with the Seagulls having been fancied to pick up a result ahead of their trip to out-of-form Newcastle.</p>
<p>The Magpies picked up their first victory since March, although there was a consolation goal for differential midfielder <strong>Jack Hinshelwood</strong>, neatly set up by <strong>Danny Welbeck</strong>.</p>
<p>The Brighton attacking duo will be popular selections for a home clash with Wolves, while Hinshelwood appears to be rivalling Welbeck up top for average position in recent weeks as the two continue to develop an understanding.</p>
<div id="attachment_79178" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-79178" class="wp-image-79178 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/headtoheadheatmap-Welbeck-vs-Hinshelwood-bordered-1.jpeg" alt="" width="840" height="690" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/headtoheadheatmap-Welbeck-vs-Hinshelwood-bordered-1.jpeg 840w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/headtoheadheatmap-Welbeck-vs-Hinshelwood-bordered-1-300x246.jpeg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/headtoheadheatmap-Welbeck-vs-Hinshelwood-bordered-1-768x631.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px" /><p id="caption-attachment-79178" class="wp-caption-text">Welbeck v Hinshelwood, heatmap last six gameweeks</p></div>
<h2>FPL Gameweek 35 heartbreakers</h2>
<h3>City capitulation leaves defence backers with questions</h3>
<p>Pep Guardiola&#8217;s side have it all to do in the title race with three gameweeks to go, having thrown away their lead against Everton in a collapse that began with a mistake from <strong>Marc Guehi</strong>.</p>
<p>Guehi spared the blushes of his FPL owners with an assist, but despite Doku&#8217;s brace and a goal from <strong>Erling Haaland</strong>, City dropped a couple of key points which leaves them with a mountain to climb.</p>
<p>Heading into Double Gameweek 36, there will be more takers for the likes of <strong>Rayan Cherki </strong>and <strong>Antoine Semenyo </strong>than City&#8217;s defensive assets, while owners will likely hold firm on their defenders for a strong home double &#8211; but could Brentford and Palace <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fpl-double-gameweek-36-top-5-players-to-target-opposition-weaknesses/">cause City problems</a> at the back?</p>
<div id="attachment_79172" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-79172" class="wp-image-79172 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/AveragePosition_Everton3-3ManchesterCity.jpeg" alt="" width="840" height="690" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/AveragePosition_Everton3-3ManchesterCity.jpeg 840w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/AveragePosition_Everton3-3ManchesterCity-300x246.jpeg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/AveragePosition_Everton3-3ManchesterCity-768x631.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px" /><p id="caption-attachment-79172" class="wp-caption-text">Averaga player positions, Everton 3-3 Manchester City (Gameweek 35)</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Early Palace buyers burned as rotation strikes for Eagles</h3>
<p>Crystal Palace&#8217;s European distractions were on full display in their disappointing 3-0 defeat at the hands of Bournemouth, leaving their FPL assets with work do in the double.</p>
<p><strong>Daniel Munoz</strong> and <strong>Jean-Philippe Mateta </strong>among others are emerging as potential minutes risks, so it&#8217;s certainly worth monitoring the minutes of their assets in Europe.</p>
<p>The likes of <strong>Maxence Lacroix </strong>and <strong>Dean</strong> <strong>Handerson</strong> are the safest bets, with Lacroix hot on the heels of Senesi for defensive contributions, while <strong>Ismaila Sarr </strong>could be the explosive attacking standout from the Eagles.</p>
<div id="attachment_79165" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-79165" class="size-full wp-image-79165" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/headtohead-Lacroix-vs-Munoz-bordered.jpeg" alt="" width="840" height="690" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/headtohead-Lacroix-vs-Munoz-bordered.jpeg 840w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/headtohead-Lacroix-vs-Munoz-bordered-300x246.jpeg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/headtohead-Lacroix-vs-Munoz-bordered-768x631.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px" /><p id="caption-attachment-79165" class="wp-caption-text">Lacroix v Munoz, <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1" title="FPL Stats by OPTA - Player and Team Stats">stats</a> this season</p></div>
<h2>FPL Gameweek 35 hidden highlights</h2>
<p>Here are a few things you may have missed in Gameweek 35:</p>
<ul>
<li>It was a Chelsea name at the top of the chances created table despite the 3-1 defeat, with <strong>Enzo Fernandez </strong>(7) just ahead of <strong>Bruno Fernandes </strong>(6)</li>
<li><strong>Casemiro</strong> continues to rack up defensive contributions, with a staggering 66 in the last three gameweeks &#8211; a midfielder needs 12 to qualify</li>
<li><strong>Daniel Munoz </strong>was hooked at half-time for Crystal Palace &#8211; the Colombian has generally been rotation-proof but the Eagles have key European games to come</li>
<li><strong>Dan Ballard </strong>will miss rest of the season for Sunderland following his red card, weakening the Black Cats at the back</li>
<li><strong>Jack Hinshelwood</strong> continues to rack up expected goal involvements &#8211; only <strong>Igor Thiago </strong>has more among all players over the last six gameweeks, with Hinshelwood leading the way among midfielders</li>
</ul>
