The Scoreboard – Gameweek 34 – Sunday

Cheers man, i will give this a read now and make myself a shortlist i think 🙂

Loftus-Cheek?

Good post, thanks GB

Cheers GB, congrats this week again!

Great review! I want 3 WHU but can't decide who

Don't buy any of our lads, we'll only let yer down

Got my eye on Hammers, Sunderland and Nor. Might get Antonio and Cressy, Defoe and PVA. Perhaps Brady?

Think that's a fair analysis tbh. The problem is going to be we only have 3 striker spots and too many options

So Glad i saved my BB for GW 37 😆 .. I wish it could fill my team up with Leicester/Spurs/Whm/Sunderland/Manutd players.. no one else looks appealing. Shame i'm stuck with Pool/Everton Players in reality 🙁

Some people seem to be discounting WHM, but they are of great interest to this gw36 wildcarder.

Definitely six from Norwich/ Sunderland. Six from the Utds too. Maybe a Chelsea youngster, it would be great have Pato was given a run.

Too far ahead ,and after this week is even more tricky , this rotation makes it harder , think ML deficit will decide how desperate , last throw of the dice maybe

West ham and Sunderland, much like yourself.

westham haven't won a game since gameweek 29, so I wouldn't talk so high about their form

Nice summary.

I really wanted to get Klose for DGW37 but now he's out for the season I think I'll avoid Norwich all together.

Up front I'm going for Aguero + 2 of Ighalo, Deeney and Defoe.

I disagree with most of that. 🙂

Everton shouldn't be dismissed as 1/5 when you consider their fixtures GW36-38 (which you need to do). Lukaku is a must in my view and Funes Mori is a proper contender too.

Liverpool can't be 3/5 when rotation risk is so severe. At the moment they are best avoided entirely. People are still misguidedly looking at their fixtures whilst ignoring the fact that whoever they pick is highly unlikely to play all of them.

United are overrated at 4/5, they are a team in disarray who won't make the top 4 and are focused on the FA Cup. Martial would be good if playing as a striker but he isn't. Smalling is the only certain starter in defence and is over-priced at 6.5m. Rashford could be dropped any time, this is LVG we are talking about. 2/5 at best.

Norwich are better than you say, their recent defensive performances were OK until they panicked against Sunderland. I think Redmond is well worth having at 5.0 but Brady at 5.4 is also a valid choice if you want someone safer. Also good for a cheap DGW defender (Olsson maybe), their fixtures are quite good.

Sunderland look a decent bet but you have the wrong players I think. Khazri is set pieces but little else. Defoe is a worthwhile selection but with Watford's fixtures I marginally prefer Deeney at the same price. Kirchhoff is the one that probably offers most value and potential.

Your categorisation of Watford as "being on the beach" is wrong in my view. They aren't that kind of team. Soon the penny will drop and they will relax on the pitch and start celebrating their extremely successful season. Deeney is notoriously a Spring player. He's almost a cert for me.

West Ham I agree about. But I think 2 would be enough. Probably Cresswell and Payet for me. 😉

I stopped reading when I see Hazard mentioned in here.

Going to start planning the 36 WC soon. Still not thinking about it just yet.

Leaving this out here.

For 37 wildcarders, looking at 36,37 and 38 as a unit, here is my thinking.

Ars - You want an attacker and maybe Bellerin in 36 and 38. Definitely need one attacker for sure.
Avl - avoid
bou - avoid
Che - poor fixtures around 37 so maybe just Costa. Or maybe a striker punt in 36 and then Costa in 37. Azpi punt only if you are feeling lucky.
Palace - avoid
Everton - great fixtures around 37. Monitor their form because their fixtures are great. Robles looks an ideal second keeper.
Lei - avoid (they are doing one nils and play mun EVE che)
Pool - decent fixtures. But rotation imminent. Clueless. Not more than a punt though in my opinion. Studge if Origi is injured.
City - Aguero/Kdb or nothing. Its a risk going without. Monitor. (sot ARS swa)
United - LEI nor whm BOU (tough fixtures even for the defence. Don't go overboard. Even double defence doesn't have value with those fixtures. Maybe just one defender and Martial/Rashford)
New - Avoid
Nor - poor fixtures. One midfield punt maybe and an enabling defender.
Sot - avoid (punt in 35)
Stoke - avoid
Sun - decent fixtures around 37. Playing for everything. An attacking punt definitely with a Kirchoff/PVA
Swans - avoid
Tot - you want Kane in 38 so keep space for him or keep him. Id rather Kane/Alli over Vahrez. Decent fixtures.
Wat - great fixtures around 37. I'd go Ighalo/deeney punt for sure. with an enabling defender.
Brom - avoid
Wham - great fixtures around 37. Payet, cresswell + 1

Defoe, PVA and Lanzini for me I think... Already got Cresswell in, he's been great for me the last couple of weeks. So attacking.

I'm getting PVA this week - he will love playing against Alexis, who doesn't track back.

I'm thinking something like this:

DDG (Mannone)

Cresswell Smalling Simpson Morgan Gabriel

Lanzini Payet Sanchez Debryne Mahrez

Kane Defoe Aguero

Depending on performances over the next few weeks I might get Rashford in as well.

Biggest problem is that if I did these transfers now it would be -20 need lots of transfers to get there..

I'd definitely consider Redmond.

Think I want 3 West Ham. That will definitely be Payet and a choice of Cresswell, Reid, Adrian and Lanzini.
