With the final double Gameweek of the season almost upon us, we turn our attentions to the Opta statistics to assess the recent form of Arsenal and Sunderland.
Using the team profile data, we take a look at both sides displays from Gameweek 30-36 – a period of time that saw them play six times apiece and one that coincides with Dick Advocaat’s arrival at the Stadium of Light.
Baines out for rest of the season
I'm tempted to bench Hazard this week 😮
bad idea
Dead level on points in my ML we both have similar teams so there wont be much of a lead going into the final game. My rival has Benteke (BUR) is it worthwhile covering this in 38 or playing my own game?
Looking at either -
A) Sktel & Kane to Okore (BUR) & Benteke (BUR)
B) Sktel & Kane to Coleman (TOT) & Cisse (WHU)
C) Skrtel & Larsson to Stones (TOT) & Arnautovic (LIV)
D) Sktel & Ozil to Kolarov (SOT) and Silva (SOT)
A looks best move to me.
Also planning to bring Benteke (c) for Kane.
If you're ahead next week - A, if behind D
If behind though Benteke could still bury me
Yup, it's possible - maybe safer to get him and hope captain choices are the differential
I'm all in favour of playing your own game, but I like A the best anyway.
Sorry, but... Ask next week 😀
Ha! Im all set for this week so just planning ahead
A or D look good.
Cheers mate
Doing Panti to Scgmeichel
Kane to Tekkers
Bertrand Kolorov -4
GW38
Lat hurah
I am doing with Bertrand what you are with Skirtl
Nice, that all makes sense
Just noticed those Pva stats. Serious captain candidate.
lol
If away to ars wasnt one of the games id consider it
If they can do a Swansea against Arsenal then its a fair bet. You'd probably be needing a crazy differential for chasing a mini league for it to be worth while though.
Hi All, what needs to be done here in your opinion? im leading by 25 points, 1FT, 0.7m in the bank. Rival has Sanchez, Ospina, Caz, PVA so far, expecting him to bring in a sunderland forward and a mid aswel.
OSPINA
Ivan Skrtel Toby
Hazard SANCHEZ Silva LARSSON
Aguero Kane Benteke
subs: Krul, Hendo, Dawson, Hutton
Feel like you're options are doubling up on Arsenal defenders by doing Ivan->Koscielny or losing either Hazard or Silva for Ozil/Ramsey.
I'd rather lose Hazard than Silva at this stage, but some are predicting Chelsea to slaughter Sunderland GW38...
Can you do Haz>Ramsey and then bring Haz back for GW38? I think I will be doing that.
Good to go?
Panti
Terry Skrtel PVA
Haz Sanchez (c) Rambo Santi (vc)
Kun Benteke Defoe
(Kasper Ivan Albrighton Duff)
Skrtel over Ivan eh? Hmm...
Yep. Feeling some baldy baps here
Nice, switch C and VC 🙂
Thinking bout it hardly, but then I think I'm practically leading not chasing 🙂
You think Hazard's gonna play NABIL? What's the thought process on that?
I think he will start, not the kind of player who likes to be bench imo. I still fancy a goal and some baps from him. If he gets the bench, Ivan or Marc is a decent cover for me.
How about you? Selling/benching him?
Waiting to hear if Mou gives us any more info...if not i'll probably shift him for Rambo, but then get him back for 38
My hill > panti or save FT? Rest of team sorted
Thanks
save if you already have PVA. If not consider doing it, especially if your other keeper has a bad GW38 fixture like Myhill
Yeah I have PVA. Other keeper is foster lol
Panti Schmeichel GW38?
Morning!
Henderson to Ramsey still the best option?
Davis
Ivan, PvA, Bellerin
Sanchez, Hazard, Silva, Henderson
Aguero, Kane, Vardy
Subs: Myhill, Skrtel, Dawson, Ameobi
2.2 in the bank
yes.
I'd play Skrtel and bench Ivan.
Hazard to Ramsey and next week, Henderson to Hazard?
Play one: Schlupp Terry Skrtel
Skrtel
Skrtel imo
Skrtel
Cheers all! Currently on Skrtel.
JT
My only 2 DGW players 🙁
Captain PVA or Bellerin ?
go back the drawing board and get Sanchez (c)
Id make a move and get an Ars mid in and capt him
PVA will play both. Bellerin might not. I'd say PVA.
Also take some hits and get Arsenal mids
Draft team semi final 🙁
How did that happen?
Haven't seen many questions like this this week 😀
Of those two I'm saying Bellerin, but I'm not sure he'll play both so I'd probably captain a single gameweek player. A differential in itself, since almost everyone will captain an arsenal player.
Its my H2H draft semi final so looking for a differential.
Im in the same boat. My rival has Cazorla, Bellerin and Sanchez. I have Ozil, Koscielny, PVA, Pantilimon and Gomez. Bit worried to be honest.
My Rival has Kun mate haha you will be fine 😉
Captain Ozil looks like the best option. I have Ndoye/Remy/Vardy up front lol
I have Benteke/Cisse/Vardy. I assume he will play Ings/Gomis/Ulloa from who he has.
Nice one...got a mention in Jonty's Rough with the Smooth article 😎
Good morning, Is this team G2G, wont be around this afternoon or tomorrow so checking in now and thanks in advance.
Mignolet (Krul)
Bellerin Ivanovic Kolarov (Bruce)(Clyne)
Ramsey(V.c) Silva Gomez Sanchez(C)
Kane Aguero Defoe
Subs, Krul-Henderson-Bruce-Clyne 2.2in the Bank..
Good to go.
Bench order OK: Albrighton Terry Schlupp
Afternoon all - wouldn't mind an opinion or two.
Schmeichel (Pants)
Terry | Skrtel | Kosc | PvA | Ivan
Haz | Sanchez | Silva | Grealish | Cambiasso
Kun | Kane | Vardy
1FT, 0.4 itb
Original plan was Ivan->cheapie, Vardy to Giroud, but that looks increasingly unsatisfactory.
A) Ivan + Vardy -> 3.9 + Giroud (-4)
B) Ivan + Cambiasso -> 3.9 + Ramsey/Ozil/Caz (-4)
C) Haz -> Ramsey/Ozil/Caz
Thoughts?
C Ramsey
Cheers!
Would give me a horrid benching dilemma 😛
B with Wasi and Rambo
This.
Cheers fellas - I think that is my preferred option.
Especially as I'm realistically trying to just consolidate I don't think I'd be happy going into GW38 without Haz.
Though I think I'll have to go with someone like Duff tho actually, b/c I just noticed I still have 3 Lei 😯
with B you'll lose 1 and gain 1
Indeed - correct. I'm all over the place today. Cheers mate!
np
Get Garbutt 🙂

Possibly the best kit reveal teaser video ever made by Southampton
Ha, that's class!
Players and Writers Player of the year Eden Hazard: 14 goals and 8 assists in 36 matches
much maligned welsh panto villain Gareth Bale: 13 goals and 8 assists in 30 league matches
Shocking. All about perspective.
I think the issue is that Bale is the most expensive player ever, is compared to the great players around him, has been poor in big games this season, and Real fans are the most difficult in Europe. Plus, it's not all about stats.
I hope Bale comes back to England, he's still a great player, his confidence is just shot.
Anyone thinking of bringing in Gerrard? Last home game so they might try to let him finnish hes carreer in style?
Gerard red card just to end his Liv career in style!
lol
I'd love to but already have Coutinho and Gerrard doesn't have a double week
OK, i´m really tempted but its pool...
Davis / Krul
Ivanovic / PVA / Moreno / Baines / Was
Caz / Sanchez / Silva / Coutinho / Albrighton
Aguero / Kane / Giroud
0 ITB
1. Is it worth getting a Sun Mid (Gomez) for -4?
2. Play Davis or Krul?
Davis won't play so Krul
You guys should definitely give this a watch! Amazing animation, (and catchy)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDFXnFF9IGc
😀
1. No, Sun won't get much out of DGW imo. If they will it'll be CS.
2. Davis, he might not play but then you'll just get Krul in
A reply fail which is sufficient in itself.
Thanks!
Reply in off the post!
How do we think Arsenal will line up for GW 38 provided they seal 3rd spot minimum on GW 37? I think Sanchez, Ramsey,Giroud, Bellerin will be rested for Walcott,Rosicky/Wilshere,Welbeck and Chambers. Ospina and Kosc following them in probability of rest. I am not sure about Caz though? Any thoughts?
Did Scezney play in cup games til now?
I think out of all arsenal players only Ospina, Sanchez, kos, mert, are guranteed to play the next three.
Ozil nailed on. Where is the evidence that Wenger will rest in 38? Pretty sure he played a v strong team before last year's cup final
Plus no way Ospina rested seeing as Sczez will play final
out of those I would say only ospina and kos are safe. Can even see Alexis rested in one game
Remember spurs rotation fears? Rose to Davies was their only change with 2 games in 3 days. Rotation is vastly exaggerated on these boards
I'm not saying it will happen, I'm just saying it might. Plus Gunners have better options on bench than spurs. Wilshere, Welbeck maybe even Theo will start at least one of these 3 last games IMO.
Where/how can I see Rodgers press conference tomorrow?
Not sure but it's today in just over 3 hours
Oh okay thought it was the day before the match, but cheers!
has anyone got the link to the article saying that Jose will play Terry and Ivanovic for the remaining games?
No but I heard him say they badly want to play both games.
yeah, same. Just want to see it for myself lol
This is the closest:
http://www.espnfc.co.uk/chelsea/story/2443924/chelsea-captain-john-terry-begging-jose-mourinho-to-play
I don't think Mourinho has said that he will definitely play them - he's only said that they've asked him to play them.
thank you. Appreciate the help
who else is loosing Ivan?
No chance
Probably benching.
this
Why bench? If doesn't start prob won't come on anyway
I think I prefer PVA, Terry and Skrtel this week.
Fair enough
🙂
Not me!!!
ok have 1ft
can do haz or fabs to ramsey . . .
or
haz AND fabs to sanchez(c) and gomez for -4
plan b eliminates che rest risk
B. They will prob be rested and Sanchez is close to essential this week
mid is fabs haz mata silva
is fabs and haz out the way to go?
B
b, then
yup b it is. be great if gomez does something . . . anything . . . except a red 🙂
Is Garbutt on free kicks and corners?
He will have his share bit unless you have a wildcard not sure why you'd be using a transfer up
Not if Mirallas has anything to do with it.
I'm sick of trying to work out who's on our set pieces. There's no logic to it.
mignolet
terry/ toby/ PVA
hazard/sanchez/henderson/ramsay

repost
1ft 0.8 ITB
what would you do?
few options:
a. young to gomez (but i like young for gw38, and i dont mind him this week either, can see him getting returns against Manure's shitty defence)
b. vardy to defoe (i dont like either)
c. save
d. hail mary: hazard to arnotovic
If you had to lose one for last two games would you drop Terry or Ivanovic?
Ivan...just because Terry is so outwardly looking to play every minute of every game this season.
I'd rather not lose either tbh
Cheers - I could lose Skrtel but would mean a hit for my GW38 plans
Ivan
Thinking DGW38,
A. Defoe ->a fit Ulloa@Vardy and bench one of my 3 ARS mids (Alexis/Rambo/Santi)
B. Bench Defoe and play Albrighton
Reckon one of San/Ram/Caz will be rested for 38 (prolly Ram), so a decent bench for 38 is probably important, so A for me
thanks Icon

I'm dumping coutinho to Ramsey for sure .. thinking of either doing Kane -> Graham or Hazard -> Cazorla along with that transfer .. any suggestions?
