Monitor – Alexis Sanchez

Trying not to cock it up. 🙂

At present I'll play it GW34 but waiting for confirmation of fixtures.

I hadnt seen this when posted below:
Obviously it would depend on the team I have now bit but what are others thinking-
I am thinking in game week 33 loading team full of chelsea and getting studge in up top for pool and getting rid of any arsenal.
( Front line would change from Aguero and Kane and AN other > Costa and Sturrudge and AN other)

In gamweeek 35 then get back in a heavy hitting are player like sanchez or giroud till end of season.

Please pick holes with this approach if you dont agree!

What do ye reckon?

Chelsea the only team who don't look so out of place amongst the super-clubs.

Arsenal and City are so wank compared to your Bayern and Real Madrid's of the world.

Certainly not, no? In terms of quality of football, I can't imagine it being the case. On current form, I think any one Valencia, Atletico, Villarreal and Sevilla would give the top 4 PL teams a good run for their money.

Guess it depends on what you define to be a good league, if by competition at the top and entertainment value (f you will), then yeah PL and their tight runs for the top 4 are always great to watch. I prefer La Liga though and currently Bundeliga, it's just a melting pot on both leagues a plethora of football talent both individually and collectively as a team.

Best league is not synonymous with best teams

I know this is no excuse but the point was raised earlier that Pool were in there worst form during group stages, Chelsea and City are struggling at the moment and Arsenal in the first leg were at their worst, to beat Monaco 2-0 at home is a great result

Real have a hit a bump in form and lost their home leg, only scrapped through

I think the FPL is a greater challenge than other leagues and teams have to play more games, this causes form to go up and down more often with momentum being gained and lost.

Barca did look in a different class today but if City were at their best they could have at least put up a fight.

Would have been interesting to see Pool in their current form in CL.

Out of everyone Arsenal were the unluckiest with an horror performance putting them out in the first leg against Monaco.

Easier on the eye if you don't type in the fixtures along with the player names. Most people know the fixtures anyway. But it's all good.

Quite a benching dilemma, I would sit Siggy on the bench.

If you get a chance in the future, you should downgrade to a cheap 5th mid and re-invest elsewhere.

Get Hazard, you simply don't want to be without.

If ARS GW is 31, use next week's FT to get Giroud in.

You will obviously have to go with only two Arsenal DGW players in this scenario unless you want to take a -4, but I think getting Hazard is a more immediate and effective move.

PVA out this week for a proven starter (Alder or Naughton spring to mind)

You would want this depth as Bellerin might not start, which leaves you with Lescott (mci) or PVA (terrible player and might not even play) as your auto-sub.

Ivan would be a luxury transfer in your situation, sure go for it if you want, but Terry is more than capable of getting points.

A goal a game is pretty good. I'd buy him back if he's doing that

Seems tired, but he's a world-class player. Am keeping for Newcastle and he might have a DGW after that, so makes sense to hold.

The reason I'm finding it hard to get rid of Sanchez and Aguero is know one else is showing much form from the heavy hitters or even mid-priced midfielders who do you get in for them? All good saving money but where do you spend it? Costa has only scored 1 in last 4
I am holding till a player starts hitting some form

Siggy bench > Austin start?

Swans not the best away from home and I strongly suggest not to bench a player at home on penalties.

Play Austin over Siggy and Bellerin over Rose.

Looks good.

Jones to Aldy

Jones > Alderweireld and double up on Saints, but maybe that's just me.

What these guys said. Otherwise consider saving a FT for greater flexibity next GW. 2FTs in an international break is a good thing

5 rings a bell
*I might have just made this up

he has a blank in 33 so once you can manage that

no one knows but it will be either 31/34/37

no one know when we will know.

No one knows, but hopefully next week as it will cause some chaos.

It's just a gamble really. Austin/Giroud/Benteke are the options for 3rd striker alongside Kane and Aguero.

Giroud in really good form.

Don't trust Villa's consistency, but no one would blame you for getting in Benteke.

Hazard

Kane

Only one I would definitely say no to is Silva.

Great team.

I'm considering it, would rather have a steady 7/8 points from him than either 2 or 14 from Aguero/Silva.

Good differential. Most will go Kane/Kun

The best option is Giroud but not many people have him surprisingly

yep. I'm probably doing it again

Be careful in losing Kane, his price makes him a great enabler and could unbalance your team.

Be really careful in losing Aguero. He has favourable fixtures and is the best player in the league for a reason

Caz out and Caz still in?

Too risky. Those you're ditching might even hurt you instantly.

Keep Austin until after next week surely?

Looks good. Go Austin > Giroud if you fancy getting on the back of his hot streak.

Maybe swap out Panti or Krul but it would be a vanity transfer tbh You will want two for next week. Brilliant team Davies . Now why are you captaining Hazard ? .

yep gtg. Haz VC

A 🙂

Sunderland are quite unstable atm, but who knows what Dick might do!

A

Who are your other defenders? Really depends on your balance of single and double gamers

Siggy away to Leicester ?

Bearing in mind we're waiting for 2 DGW's to be confirmed, I'm having a GW31 punt and still looking at a strong squad for 33 then pop the WC for the DGW34 and the run in.
Confirmation of DGW's may change this but that looks the plan.

99% I will my WC in DGW34. However atm there are many routes to choose from.

I could use both of my FTs this week to make 2 very good transfers (PVA & Sterling -> Ivan & Mane). And then nextw eek with only 1 FT, I could go Giroud -> Benteke -> Giroud. Bold but could be gold.

otoh I might just do Sterling -> Mane this week and have 2 FTs for DGW31. Not so many inspiring options though.

fwiw I still think 3 CHE & 2 FTs are good enough for BGW33. Knowing when is ARS's DGW is key here.

I have a WC and already (just by coincidence) can field a good 11 in 33 with one transfer, getting rid of Austin. If the fixtures are confirmed then I can sell Sanchez and take a midfield punt. I'm thinking City (already have Aguero/Silva). But looking at the fixtures, nothing is jumping out at me. My perspective on Burnley being an 'easy' fixture has changed after their results at the Bridge and last weekend, so not sure about Everton punts.

Enjoy your night DC. 🙂

Good choice, dig their slim fit oxfords. Have a blast Don!

I had no idea what you were talking about but enjoy

Cazorla

I'd keep both Newcastle are having injury problems and unless prayer works Leicester will lose to Spurs . Sorry Davies

caz. easy pick. got sanchez?

Who else do you have?

If you don't own another ARS mid I would probably keep this week.

Eriksen has a plum fixture but will be gone for Siggy next week if he doesn't perform

Caz

Have got Sanchez, and really want Mane in.. for his form and to create some cash.

When was the last time Spurs were considered one of the big teams 😉

They haven't.

United beat us 3-0 but, once again, performed like shite.

All the same, 3-0 to Spurs wouldn't be a surprise to anybody

It does not need to be a hiding for kane to be a good choice.

Will Spurs score at least 1? Pretty likely Id have thought

Will Spurs score 2? Still reasonably likely?

Will Spurs score 3+? Maybe not based on recent history

Will Kane be involved in the goals Spurs do score? Recent history would suggest this is more than likely

None.

Cazorla > Mane?

Keep Ozil. he is looking good

Caz to Mane simple

Caz -> Mane
