We delve into the members’ data this evening and shine a light over a number of pertinent stats from the Gameweek 36 fixtures. Arsenal’s misfiring frontman, City’s raiding left-back, Eden Hazard’s drop in attacking threat and Tom Cleverley’s recent improvement are all on our midweek radar.

Thanks.
Not enough so I need to think agsinGibbs likely to get the easier game imo.

Good evening Mo'fo's, Bro'fo's and No'fo's!
Evening Cheesoid, Alwight?
Aye just popping in for a little while reasonably busy at work. Everyone decided on their DGW players yet?
Ramsey vs Cazorla is killing me. I have a feeling Cazorla will do better but Ramsey will have higher ownership and has more potential to hurt me if I don't get him in. I won't have Giroud either who has very high ownership so maybe getting Ramsey is the smarter move? 😕
Ramsey purely on Swansea game
Walcott 😉
Been there, done that!
Which 3 Arsenal are you going for Innsie?
(other than Ramsey/Caz of course 🙂 )
Sanchez + Ozil too.
Aha! Similar to me then.
Out of interest who would you be getting Ramsey/Caz in for? Do you have Hazard/Silva?
I'm thinking of a defender instead of one of those two.Yeah I've got Hazard and Silva and am going to sell Hazard. I'll have 6 DGWers this week without taking a hit so if I feel like I need Hazard back for GW 38 then I'll take a hit then.
I'm not going for a defender because:
1) I already have Terry, Ivan, Skrtel and PVA (benching 1 of those is hard enough this week)
2) I don't think Arsenal will get a clean sheet
3) Even if they do get a CS, I'll get 4 CS points anyway from the 3 mids.Interesting, cheers and good luck!
Thanks Andy, you too 🙂
Not a straight forward as it was a few weeks ago for sure.
Tbh, it's between Rambo and Ozil for me (leaning towards Ozil).
Sanchez and Caz are absolutely in my XI. 🙂Why no Ramsey love, Somalion?
Not a chance he'll be rested for some of the next 3 matches?
(I'd want to bring in someone who was going to play in 38 as well)The beard. 😉
I'm not sure, I may still be swayed for him over Ozil. It is simply a case of can't have them all I think!Fair enough 😀
@Stu He may be rested in one of the remaining matches but any of them could be tbh.Best of luck with the decision, it is not easy at all. Realistically, I think all can do well!
Ramsey for me but I hear ya
I think Ramsey to answer the question 🙂
Wilshere will start vs sunderland (coq or rambo or caz would be benched ???)
Get both! 😀
Come on then Mr Article.
Which Arsenal players will you have and which transfers are you doing to get them?Well, I own bellerin and am thinking of taking him out for another arsenal mid!!
I would've if I didn't get Ozil last week!
I'm glad I coundn't afford Ramsey
I bet ramsey plays better and gets all the stats but arsenal go ahead and win a couple of penalties
Thanks all.
let's not forget, Ramsey went from being a 50/50 start/sit call to playing the full 90..
Ramsey will play definitely both matches (>100 min) and I would be a bit surprised if he didn't start both..he's not carrying a muscle injury, he just got kicked and was sore..
Caz(c)
Anyone that has giroud are you happy enough to have him or would you prefer you had another arsenal player instead.wondering should I get him in or not.already have Ramsey and sanchez.
Same as this
Am reasonably happy as there aren't many alternatives. I'm hoping Wenger will want to play him into form before the FA Cup final.
I've got him wish I had Cazorla instead to join Sanchez and Ramsey tbh
Patience is a virtue!
I got giroud back in a week or so ago and now i wish I had sanchez or ramsèy, but definitely not wasting 4 points getting rid of him. I'm still captaining him
1 goal no assists in last 7 games for Ozil.
Only the next 2 games matter.
*3
GW38 is hardly a factor. Cotton wool for the final probably.
So surely a safe starter for 38 would be better, like Kosc?
Gabriel says hello.
🙂
Probable as you say neither of us know but 38 will still give points across the board.
Ozil could easily score a double digit or so V Wba, arsenal still have to put 11 players out.
5 chances created yesterday. No one who could finish.
Not sure that's going to change 🙂
Wait until you see his other stats! 😀
So he's due. 😉
How am I looking here?
Panti - (schmei)
skrtel - terry - ivan - pva - (dawson)
Caz (c) - Hendo - Sanchez - hazard - (Boyd)
Aguero - Kane - (vardy)
Vardy -> Defoe??? and play 3-4-3?
Any other transfers?I have Bellerin, not Terry.
Terry - ha just typed it-it didn't offer me Bellerin as an option!....
yeh haha, I am just so used to typing terry
Bellerin - dawson, if you can afford it. Don't plan Terry this week.
Not sure whether it's by design or by accident...Olivier Giroud avg position for the past four matches...

Mmmm...Yep. Funnily enough, I have a sneaky feeling the Man Utd game might be a better one for him than the Sunderland game. Giroud is just there as a decoy when teams park the bus vs Arsenal.
Same problem Bony had for the first two months at Swansea. Little more than a midfielder in reality.
I'd suggest only taking a hit for an Arsenal player if you're going to captain them, or are shifting a defender you're not going to play in GW38.
GW37 - Hazard to Ramsey
GW 38 - Giroud to Costa
Thoughts??Costa is highly unlikely. Would want Hazard back.
I can't help that for those people struggling to choose a third Arsenal player, the security of 180 mins for Kos/Mert may be a great asset.
Making me doubt my third choice of Ramsey...I have no such issues I had 3 in place for a 6pt return!
V Swansea
Including GW 38, I don't think Kos + Mert will play all 3 games. It's vital your defenders are nailed for GW 38 since the likes of Sunderland and WBA have poor fixtures and a lot of us have their cheap defenders too.
its 3rd sunderland players i want to hear about 😉
Play Schmeichel(sun) or get Panti in for Davis -4 to give me another SUN to join PVA ?
play shcmeichers
Panti
All the talk last week of benteke been rested last game of the season if villa safe.
What about vardy? If Leicester safe then surely his foot will be rested.
For me it's enough to tip the balance in favour of caz over Ramsey so I have a budget to replace him if necessaryid advocate hits in a dgw......but this one feels more like a lottery than normal.....
🙂
Who mentioned anything about hits?
Dick
?
Ah cmon 🙂
You need a clue?
I think its more to do with Beneteke having the Cup final the week after, if Vardy has been fit enough to play until now he should play in GW38
But benteke is 100% fit and on a roll. Vardy by his own and his managers admission is getting pain killing injections to get through each game because Leicester need all hands on deck to survive. If both teams safe I know who I think will be rested. In vardy case it will likely be in the presser anyway
How many goals do you expect Arsenal to score vs ?

For that reason, they will flop attacking-wise and keep 2 cleanies
Kerry meets Putin............. hope thats not katona
My god. If there is one thing needed to make him go atomic (kitten)
nice
Would rather Putin meets a katana.
😛
Fab and Grealish --> Rambo and Gomez (-4) to cover for potential Hazard rest? This decision is driving me nuts, my leads depend on it.
What leads?
Dogs or cats?Forget Gomez just do Fab> Ram, Grealish will be very handy 1st sub gw38 at home to Burnley could even start him
Giroud is Due!
Try say it quickly 5 times!!!!!Due a rest sure 😉 he's already dreaming of holidays 😛
Calm before the storm 😉
Last I heard it was sunny in the south of France 😛
Ask him about the cemeteries, Dean!"
In 1966 upon being told that President Charles DeGaulle had taken France out of NATO and that all U.S. troops must be evacuated off of French soil President Lyndon Johnson mentioned to Secretary of State Dean Rusk that he should ask DeGaulle about the Americans buried in France. Dean implied in his answer that that DeGaulle should not really be asked that in the meeting at which point President Johnson then told Secretary of State Dean Rusk:
"Ask him about the cemeteries Dean!"
That made it into a Presidential Order so he had to ask President DeGaulle.
So at end of the meeting Dean did ask DeGaulle if his order to remove all U.S. troops from French soil also included the 60,000+ soldiers buried in France from World War I and World War II.
DeGaulle, embarrassed, got up and left and never answered.
Try say (malbroune) quickly 10 times !!
Who does he play for?
Seeing the amount of goals Arsenal may score
How many points will Girouds DGW total up too?
I'll go 10.3 😛
Haha great minds Innsie!!

With Jose talking of rotation, would you start Cesc (wba) or Siggy (CTY) ???
Any better midfield option than Gomez for 5.2 or under this week only?
No one is even close
Decision made - http://imgur.com/EFOnZs6
Ultimately I wanted to get in before the price rise. I've based this on my rival having Giroud, Bellerin and Sanchez. I'm hoping Giroud doesn't heavily outscore Ozil.
My rival also has no Sunderland player (I have Pantilimon) so to get to same amount of DGW players they need to make a transfer. Any more and they're in hit territory. Also don't see them removing Hazard, Silva, Sanchez, Giroud, Kane or Aguero so I'm safe to stick I think.🙁 fair enough Andy. Cue cheeky Koscielny header!
My entire reasoning was based on mini league and wanting a better defence for GW38.
If I was chasing rank I'd be more inclined to bring in another mid. I'm not happy being without Cazorla or Ramsey but they're not likely to affect mini league unless rival takes hits to rearrange Arsenal assets.Sounds logical. Are you leading your ML's?
Yeah leading by 55.
Was saying to my missus earlier that if I was chasing 55 I'd call it game over but as I'm leading I'm still worried I'll be overtaken!You have a great team so you should see it out 🙂
Your misses cares about your fantasy football? 😯
Have you promised her a share of the prize in compensation for her losing you for hours at a time to talk to strangers on the Internet?Not sure if she cares but she still hears about it 😉
Og?
🙁
Best of luck mate.
Cheers! Did you decide on transfers yet?
I have a plan, but I keep changing my mind every day!
Not surprising. I'm stressing over winning mini leagues, no idea what it's like to be at the top!
Good luck with whatever you do. Think you have to captain a non-Sanchez player and hope. Maybe Cazorla or Ramsey.
Nice team Andy, should see you right.
Thanks HVT!
anything jump out? tempted to save but don't even know how I would use 2 FT in GW38. probably will try to get Hazard back at the very least..
1 FT, 0.5m
...................Pantilimon
.............Terry - PvA - Skrtel
Hendo - Rambo - Silva - Sanchez (c)
........Giroud - Benteke - Aguero
Schmeichel; Albrighton, Morgan, SmallingLooks good to me, like the idea of bringing Hazard back in.
Henderson to Sunderland midfielder if you really wanted 6I feel like Sunderland is going to be massively disappoint this DGW
I hope so 🙂 Only have Pantilimon
im lookin to bring haz back for sanchez for gw38,chel will wont to put on good show for last game,wenger may have fa cup on his mind rest/sub his big players
is villa safe,benteke could be rested for cup finalyeah I think GW38 will be very tricky
Boring question....
As Hazard may not make an appearance at the weekend who would you have in first bench spot:
Albrighton (Sunderland away)
Rose (Hull home)
Usually I'd play the attacker but after keeping Rose for so long I'm tempted. Even tempted to play him and bench Hazard.was Rose injured last game?
Hull NEED to score so I feel like you'd be relying on an assist/goal to avoid a Rose 1-2 pointer..He was injured or at least recovering but was fit enough for bench.
tot dont do clean sheets,that why rose on my bench,can chip in with a assist though
Took my 5th -12 of the season now, got 3 greens and 1 red on the previous 4, what do yous think of this :
Davis Moreno Mcshane Hazard > Panti PVA Kolarov GerrardNight all 😉
Night mate
Night HVT, off myself.
Night!
Night HVT
Which one looks best? Leading ML by 30 and have Sanchez + Ramsey.
A) Ozil/Cazorla + Skrtel
B) Henderson + Koscielny
C) Silva + Koscielny (-4)
B
toughts guys, zouma out for morgan or schlupp ? cheers
Not tempted by a DGW player?
already got 3 ars, and 1 sun{pva}
Yeah I guess doubling on the Sunderland defence is a bit much.
think it is,especially as they have chel away last game !even ars players bit risky in last game,if 3rd spot is theirs,they can rest some,then people like wilshire,wellbeck,walcott,debuchy,gibbs szecny can get game time, so wenger will have a fit squad for fa cup
What are peoples thoughts on sun vs lei? Surely Leicester to win right?
You would think
If I was betting that's what I'd choose
on current form yes,who would of thought sun would of beaten everton last week, as everton had kept 4 cs in last 4 home games.. think it could be a draw this game
Based on a post above, and something I should have considered more. If you take hazard out this week is Sanchez to Hazard in gw38 not a decent option what with potential FA cup benching?
yeah but this is Sanchez and Wenger is a pushover. seems if Alexis wants to play, he plays.
That and he's their best player 😉
still tempted by a Rambo (c) in the DGW given how selfish he's looked lately 😉
Excellent choice sir
yeah but I'll probably chicken out and go with Sanchez ha
If u have Giroud & Aguero so who is best Striker to get with them for JUST DGW ?
btw i have 3 arsenal players & PantiWickham
The Sunderland players are a minefield. Guess it is between Defoe and Wickham
8 years, 12 months agoBest guess at Monreal GW37 mins?
