With the previous Gameweek finally coming to its conclusion yesterday evening, we now take time to delve into the data. Amongst tonight’s topics are Chelsea’s stand-in striker and in-form wide man, the City midfield, Palace’s form players at both ends of the pitch and Villa and Arsenal’s clinical frontmen.
Well find out tomorrow hopefully.
Are you a Leicester fan by chance?
I'm afraid not
🙁
Seems like all parties agreed on a provisional date before outcome of the replay and lots of chatter about it being GW 34.
The fact it had already been discussed and will be announced tomorrow suggests GW34. I hope so.
So I'm thinking ahead here, who do you think is the best goalkeeper choice for gw 33?
Hart or Howard
Myhill
Thanks! 🙂
Schmichael?
Schmeichel
With all the blanks in gw33 who are the keys to get in this week to cover both weeks?
Southampton are tempting but rotation seems to be an issue for me.
CPal & Swansea maybe.
Happy to have a punt.
WBA SWANSEA
Leicester!
Actually prefer Leicester to any WBA options, Berahino only one but think there's better options in Murray, Gomis & Pelle.
Get a goalkeeper who has a double in GW34. That's one key to getting an extra DGWer without a gap in your team for gw33...
Cheap leicester players like Schlup...
Well?
Well well well
Don't go to the well to often me ma used to say 😉
Very wise
3 holes in the ground
Golf?
Planning ahead
9 dgw players and 2 chelsea for gw 37
Mignolet
Ivanovic, brown, pva
Sanchez, Cazorla, hazard, henderson, coutinho
Giroud defoe
Unfortunately it won't happen because
sunderland cannot keep cannot keep a clean sheet
...and it looks like Liv don't have a DGW37.
You reckon 34 because of tweet?
That's what I'm thinking with such a rapid response from Hull-looks like it's a done deal.
Any Leicester fans about?
He logged off earlier 😉
Ha ha
Gw34 potential:
Crystal Palace V hull
WBA V Liverpool
Hull v Liverpool
Burnley V Leicester
Arsenal V Chelsea
Leicester V Chelsea
Thoughts?
what about everyone else?
Surely you can get close on 11 out of that lot?
Mostly wins, some draws
2-1
1-3
0-1
1-1
1-1
0-2Schmikes
Moreno Dann Ivan
Sterling Sanchez Hazard (c) Puncheon
Sturridge Costa Kane141 points
🙂
I can get all Schlupp Remy Hazard ivan Sterling Hendo Skrtel for -4
And still field 11 in gw 33
😎I can do it for free!
🙂
Wildcard holders.
I was hoping for liverppol gw37 double
But more i think about it want gw34
Be hard for non wildcard holders to set up aswell. and still get full team gw33Yea load up for 34 and wc for 35!
To be fair apart from Chelsea liverpool have good running so id prob keep them.
Im more likely to wildcard on gw34 get 7 or 8 double gw players
Those with city players, will you be sticking with them come week 34?
Only Silva I reckon.
No aguero? 😯
If I jump on the Sturridge wagon. Dunno yet
Silva is one of the untouchables for me in current form, along with Ivanovic, Hazard, Giroud and Kane.
Aguero is droppable, depends on the DGW-ers I want..
Aguero is looking like a goner. Silva not so much
Silva is harder to work in, though, especially if you want 3 Arsenal attackers
Not bothered about 3 arsenal attackers in gw34
no, let's say your front 7 is
Hendo, Silva, Sanchez, Hazard
Studge, Remy, Kane
you somehow need to work towards getting Giroud and Ozil/Ramsey
How do you then get that. You either sacrifice Sturridge or SilvaRight?
so, which one goes given Sturridge has QPR at home in GW35
If Costa is back by then, Remy out is a no brainer
then I have to dump one of Silva or Sturridge to free up enough cash
Signing for Arsenal is he?
Save my ft this week or change something?
Davis
Ivan Terry Toby
Hazard Silva Ozil Eriksen
Aguero Giroud Kane
Myhill Dawson Naylor Boyd
Toby to Moreno as you have Davis.
Well I can bench Hendo, Philips and Austin in GW33 and get rid of Hutton and Naughton (no blank but ruled out) in next 2 GW's allowing me to field 11 in GW33 without a hit.
Already have 2 Chelsea for GW34
So which teams/players to bring in - Schlupp seems obvious, but who else?
Whisky factor..
I just decided to make my transfer early and discovered that I had already done it yesterday. I have no recollection of this. I didn't do anything I wasn't planning to do, just worrying that I don't remember doing it 😐Go on....
You already know, or at least as Sri Lanka captain you should 😉
Doh! I will check 🙂
What were you doing in my garden earlier?
Falling in your pond probably.. This actually happened once 😳
*Well not your garden (probably) but someones 🙂
😆
Wasn't mine I don't think, although I have been blaming next doors dog for all the mess I'm Finding 😯
You rang
your neck.
those poor gnomes ......
or should i say gnumes 😛
im here all week folksAre refunds available?
😆 yes you need alcoholic transfers anonymous
Sounds good...
Do they supply the Booze?yes thats the first step of a 2 step process
is henderson, coutinho and sturridge too much for dgw?
No
I'd drop one of the latter 2 for Skrtel
Sterling?
Do players not need 10 appearances anymore in order to get a PL medal???
http://www.manutd.com/en/News-And-Features/Football-News/2013/Apr/manchester-united-fringe-players-to-receive-barclays-premier-league-winners-medals.aspx
Worried that Cech might get some starts.I think they scrapped it.
Nevermind,
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2625682/Jack-Rodwell-collects-Premier-League-winners-medal-despite-starting-just-one-game-Manchester-City.html
this article states that the threshold is now 5 games instead of 10.
Cech's already had his 5 games. Success.No. Nowadays everyone in the declared 25 man squad gets one.
Hmmmm, unsure whether I should WC before GW 34 (To load up on Pool/Chelsea) or after (To get rid of DGW players).
Needs thought tbf,
Tho I'm sure Jk will pop up with the solution!
Mourinho would give his
virginity to...
kurt zouma
In the tunnel.
brilliant story
Wife and kids to become the new Man City manager?
yup heard that too
JK. Gw 34 is far better for us. Firstly it catches people on the hop without Liverpool or Hull players, secondly its immediately after gw33 that has just 7 fixtures and thirdly it allows you enough time to recruit for gw37 dgw.
Are hull players necessary?
I think if people have 2 Chelsea already then they should be fine for the double in 34Was Austin/Bentekke/Phillips really necessary?
You really compare Austin/Benteke to Hull-players?
Austin and Benteke were good options in a week where there were only 2 teams.
With 6 of your players likely to be Liverpool and Chelsea then hull not so much for me. Wouldn't mind getting one in maybe but not in any panicThere's gotta be a Matty Philips type player in that Hull team Andy.....
More than likely. Just about finding the right now I guess
Elmo, N'doye, Robertson.
you could maybe get a Hull defender simply as they're cheap enabling you to invest elsewhere
I don't see how. Not if Liverpool-Hull is GW34 as well.
If both are GW34 I will probably have 9-10 DGW players in my team that week, as good a team as possible in GW33 with little wasted on the bench and 5 for the DGW in GW37. Would be the ideal scenario and one that I badly need after last week's disaster.This.
How bad?Bad enough to put my OR back to where it was in GW24. I didn't have a single DGW player. Catastrophic might be a better description. 😉
Captain Hindsight here 😉 but DGW should always be seen as an opportunity regardless of how unappetising they look.
Yes, it can be a damp squib but riding the wave when it pays off is the buzz.
When I look at my team, 8 players scored a total of 26 pts but team scored triple figures, luck yes but it's giving yourself the chance of getting lucky I guess.
DGW players = Hope. 🙂It's my first FPL season and I just totally undervalued the importance of DGW players. Mishandling the two DGWs probably cost me 60+ points.
It has been my biggest lesson of the 2nd half of the season. The biggest lesson of the first half was how to structure a squad right for FPL.If you ask the question about mega fails, it's often bad DGW captain choices. I had Milner years ago, he was hot but injured early in first game & picked up 1 pt, the other choice was Dempsey and he scored handsomely over both games - I had Milner but that's the game for you.
All depends how many you want to field I suppose. Bit jealous of 9-10 🙂
Sounds good.
WC on GW34 then?Who do you mean by "us"?
they're an item
he means those of us with a wc
for example my ML leader only has Zouma and Costa from Chelsea, no Pool. How does he get 3 x Chelsea (that will play both) and 3x Pool (who have a blank) in 2 GWsHe won't be leading for long then
yup I think so
But given Arsenal play Hull in GW35 you may well want 3 Arsenal in for that. It makes it very hard to transition into, especially if you have Silva, Sturridge and Remy and low tv.That's fine. 3 Arsenal players on bench
then how do you get 3x Pool, 3x Chelsea and 3x Arsenal plus a City option and Kane?
Kane plus 2 Arsenal and Pantilimon. Don't need City players. You can then immediately get one in for gw35
they play Villa at home in GW34 though
You can't have it all
you mean get the 3rd Arsenal?
Yes
then it simply comes down to a choice for me
Fabregas v Remy/Costa
If Costa is fit I'll get him and Coutinho, if he's not then I have the choice or Remy and Ozil/Ramsey or Fabregas and Giroud
People have Liverpool players?!
And wc in 35?
Just to clarify you thinking 33 or 34 wc?
Gw34 wildcard
Sounds decent. Looking forward to the Scoutcast discussion and you overtaking mark. Ok one of the two will happen at least.
Ronaldo assist. James goal. 0-2 Madrid
Guzan
Terry | Walker | Bellerin
Silva | Ozil | Hazard | Eriksen
Aguero | Giroud | Kane
Hamer | Naughton | Boyd | Haidara
2.8 ITB 1FT
Any news on Walker?
Suggestions?
Plan on using WC week 34. Guzan needs transfer aswell before next week..Think Walker is out
Wouldnt have Walker anyway as Spurs have difficulty defending.
remy in for austin (CHE) or tekkers (tot)?
play rose (AVL) or bellerin (bur)?Austin
Bell
This
ppl have a lot more faith in che def than i thought
Austin
RoseI'm in no hurry to get Remy at this stage.
I'll wait till GW34.may just test the waters..... him or gomis this week
cheers
If dGW for Liverpool in GW 34
GW 32
Naughton to PvA
Austin to Remy
GW 33 - save FT
GW 34
-4
Lescott to Skertl
Eriksen to Henderson
Silva to Coutinho
Gives me 3 Chelsea and 3 LiverpoolI have 2FT so I have to use one now..
Which is better?
A) Bellerin -> Schlupp (preparing for DGW, both will be on bench this gw anyway)
B) Cazorla -> Fabregas (preparing for DGW..)
C) Giroud -> Remy (preparing for DGW)
D) Any other suggestions?..
Team now is
Panti
Ivan Clyne Alderwield
Hazard Silva STerling Cazorla
Aguero Giroud Kane
Best thing about Costa's injury...he's going to pass the 10yc deadline, so if he is fit by GW34, no suspension to worry about!
I'd be amazed if he's fit by then.
I think wc in 35 looks the way to go lads, drop Aresnal players for Dgw and get 3 back in in 35,
Thoughts?That could work.
not for me with their DGW in 37
Not enough GWs if Pool go into 34 to get all your Chelsea and Pool players in
GW34 wc then transition into Arsenal players, so maybe keep 1 in the wc teamTransition is doomed to failure Jk, something else always goes wrong. take a hit most will be -8/-12 that week anyway.
short of a massive hit there's no way I can go big on DGW34 without the wc.
This
Mmm not sure I'd want all those players long term.....
Pool have great fixtures till the end of the season bar GW36
You'll be ditching the Chelsea forward anyway for an Arsenal one. Ant Leicester or Hull players you'll have can go and sit in your 3rd bench spot
what's the problem?
I know its early, but how would this look for a DGW team? (Assuming DGW 34 for Liverpool)
3-5-2
Davis
Skrtel, Ivan, Terry
Hazard, Silva, Coutinho, Henderson, Mane
Aguero, Kane(Or someone else)Davis > Schm
Remy would help
Aguero > Studge.-Davis will probably outscore Schm with his single GW, (and better long term)
-Already have 3 chelsea and at this stage I prefer Ivan, Terry, Hazard
-I have 3 Liverpool players (Skrt, Cout, Hend)Oh, and Aguero has Villa at home that week.
He just played Palace/Burnley/WBA and blanked,
Not sure Davies is that much better long term look at fixtures again
Fair enough on 3 Chelsea.
My girlfriend just kicked me out the flat as my wildcard was throbbing !!
Will we know if Jose chooses remy over drogba, or will bringing remy in be a risk?
Captain for gw34?
Hazard now maybe changes to Hendo/Sturridge..
Still Haz imo
hazard for me easily
If Pool DGW is confirmed for GW34 how does Eriksen & Austin > Hendo & Remy for free sound?
Only have Sanchez (and Pants) atm with a blank so can stash Hendo and still field 11 in GW33
Means getting rid of Erik with Villa at home although I've reached the end of my tether with him and would be getting rid the week after anyway
Pants (Krul)
Clyne Terry Toby (Dawson, Wolly)
Haz Alexis Erik Silva (Cork)
Kun Kane Austin
2 frees, nada ITBUnreal regret if erik scores. Fixture just too tasty, villa defence shocking..
Cheers SV
Austin to vardy, then eriksen to cesc
That could be a decent shout. Good stats
9 years, 1 month agoSo Liverpool DGW n 34 or 37?
