We delve into our Opta data now in our first members’ article of the week.
Scanning the first six days’ action over Double Gameweek 37, we check up on the contrasting numbers for Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil in Arsenal’s new 3-4-2-1 formation.
Manchster City pair Leroy Sane and Gabriel Jesus are also assessed, as are Philippe Coutinho and Fernando Llorente with their transfers-in escalating ahead of Sunday’s deadline.
Hazard to Coutinho is the most popular move for the last GW
Very similar team. One of the Chelsea boys have to go
Seems we share the same problem except I have no City at all.
Hazard to KDB is another option although at least Coutinho is nailed on.
Do you not think Hazard will start the last home game of the season with a week until the cup final?
Maybe, but Cout will definitely start.
He might, if he was a definite starter I would keep him.
Looks good, Haz to Cout and maybe if you're feeling adventurous take a -4 for Stephens to Matip instead of doubling up on Soton defense.
Btw how did the early wildcard work out after all? I remember replying to your posts around GW33 when you wildcarded. I went right after (in GW34), and rose from 72k to 18k currently.
Points predictions please
Vardy
Eriksen
Alli
Kane
Vardy= 2
Erkisen= 1
Alli= 17
Kane= 22
No need to guess which you own lol
Hoping for a goal fest both ways.
Vardy and Kane braces with a couple of assists for Eriksen 😉
As long as vardy and eriksen return something similar to Kane and alli I'm happy
Albrighton = 14

Hazard to Coutinho confirmed - will wait until the last minute for any injury news though as value is obviously not an issue as that'll be my only transfer
Same
Yeah me too. Who's your captain?
Hazard, Gabbi & Rashford → Coutinho, Vardy and benchfodder for the final week (-8).
Do you think this is +ev?
be wary of hits before next week
As long as they are +ev they're fine.
The 34 so far haven't done me too much damage.
What does +ev mean?
+ expected value, it's a poker term.
When making a decision there is some luck involved in the actual result so it means something like 'if I made this decision and the result played out 100 times would I be up or down?'
If I'd be up then it's +ev, the actual result doesn't matter as long as the decision is the correct one at the time.
As a poker player i can't believe i haven't used this rule in FPL before. Clever! Thanks.
What Midfield do you wish you could roll out this GW.
I have Sanchez, Hazard, Eriksen, King and Pedro.
Wish I had some City and Pool but not sure who to lose. Any ideas?
Hazard to Cout
Hazard has Sunderland at home. Is that a wise move?
Perfect mid for this week would be
Sanchez, KDB, Eriksen, Mahrez, Coutinho.
If you don't think Hazard will start then he needs to go.
I'd put a Chelsea asset (prob Fabregas) ahead of Mahrez.
Hazard too if he was 100% sure to start.
I'd put Chelsea assets ahead as well - if they were nailed on, which they are not.
Some of the Chelsea first team players will probably be rested... Hazard or Pedro to Coutinho seems to be the right move.
This
No cash available so Pedro to Cout isn't an option. Though I could do Hazard and Pedro ➡ Fàbs and Coutinho with 2 FT's?
Cheeky Sane (C) punt, then?
looks like a good shout, but still think Liverpool assets have more chance of scoring big
Looks like a classic move
Sure. Seems legit
Llorente(c)
Would you consider Costa -> Kane for a hit? From Spurs I have Eriksen and Davies.
No.
I'd rather have Vardy and Jesus this week.
I have Jesus. I'll watch the game tonight and then decide between Kane and Vardy. But both of them seems as good choices.
Swansea in for JT (Sky)
He could turn Mawson into FPL gold! Another head for Siggy to land the ball on too!
1. Hazard > Coutinho
2. Hazard > DeBruyne
3. Keep Hazard
Cheers!
1 probably
3
1 for sure
Repost - Hoping to get more opinions
Front 7 of
Sanchez Kdb siggy king Eriksen
Vardy Jesus Gaby
1 FT 0.0 itb
Best option here-
A Eriksen to Cout FT bench Gaby
B Gaby to Vokes FT bench King
C Any other
Never bench king, Gabbi is toxic bench him n bring coutinho in for eriksen 100%
Think I have no option but to bench king with front 8 of Sanchez fabregas de bruyne eriksen king Costa vardy Jesus
C, bench Gabbi & get a better defender?
This
Pickford
Yoshida / Clichy / Davies
Hazza / Alexis / Eriksen / Sane / Albrighton
Kane / Jesus
DDG/ Gabbiadini / Holding / Stephens
Has to Cout?
A) Sane + King
B) Sane + Vardy (-4)
C) King + Vardy (-4)
B
C
A easily
Three different opinions 😯
Trust me
My reasoning...
Bournemouth concede a lot of away goals so I think Vardy is a good captaincy option this week (although you'd be brave not to go for Sanchez), regardless I want him in my team.
City have a good fixture and are scoring a lot of goals but Sane isn't involved in that many and is not completely nailed on.
King has incredibly high goal involvement for Bournemouth, if they score he's likely to be getting some points so I prefer him to Sane.
Yep your reasons make sense. Wish I still have my AOA chip 🙁
B
A - close call tho. Who r other mids? If u have erik/alli and kane then perhaps lose erik/alli to get vardy, dont think u need 2 spurs assets.
Other mids are Sanchez, Hazard and Eriksen.
I prefer taking out Haz
If you were BBing this week who would you sell out of
Valdes
Herrera
Any ideas would be welcomed
Valdes, ideally both
Both.
Hazard and alli to coutinho and cesc for free?
Keeping Haz personally. Do think he will start.
However, Alli to Cout I'd definitely do. I'm doing Eriksen to Cout after tonight (just making sure Kane gets through the game)
Hmm those big numbers aren't ideal though...
Yay
Yes to both, altho siggy might be better than cesc in terms of nailed oness.
Sane on pic - perfect timing
Question: I own Kompany, Jesus and Sane. Am tempted to go get Siggy in for Sane. Worth a go?
Thinking that Sterling might come in for the last game with Sane rotated out if Pep is doing Kun-Jesus up top! Would be for a -4: also doing Cout in for Eriksen (mid will be (C)outinho Sanchez Haz King Sane/Siggy)
Thanks 😀
Might works, I would do it.
Cheers mate, sorry got busy with work!
Mad rush for Benteke for people catching up?
Mad rush?
Matip or Lorrente
Llorente
Matip. Don't see the appeal in Swans assets. They are safe.
Last home game against a team who have been on the beach for weeks. A celebration of their safety... I think it has comfortable Swansea win written all over it.
I just don't see it as comfortable at all. Probably just me 😉
Llorente
Matip or your rent eh?
Which one do you prefer?
A King + 4
B Sane
A
A
I'd still prefer King without the +4.
thanks all
110 points and still a red arrow. Come on Eriksen and Alli!!
Surprised no one is talking about Lallana as a potential difference maker, crushed it vs MID last time out, 19 I believe? Could've had even more.
At his price has to be considered.
I have been...a lot
My problem is who to drop in a 5 man, Alexis Coutinho Alli Eriksen King....
Ditch gabbi or rashford for giroud or benteke?
Both!
Both if possible?
Can't afford both
Seriously considering Tekkers for the first time this season. Reckon it will be fish in a barrel kind of game.
100% ditch Zaza I mean Gabbi. You know Benteke will play, Giroud the minutes aren't certain. Could see Tekkers get one.
Maybe giroud
Not sure why people are considering benteke
That game is going to be boring as hell
Done Haz > Cout. Which one do you prefer for a hit?
Carroll to:
A/ Albrighton (no other Leicester players)
B/ Fabregas
OR
Anichebe to:
1/ Llorente
2/ Origi
3/ Vokes
4/ Benteke
B
Thanks!
If u have uncertain player like costa in gw 38
Would u rather keep or ditch for another player assured to play?(vardy/sturridge/batshuayi)
If you decide to get rid of him, Vardy sounds like a nice replacement.
Already on 170 points for GW 37..... hoping to reach 200 with Kane/Alli/Eriksen to play...
I hope Vardy has a party.
co-party with kane 😀
Lukaku & Gabbi to Jesus & Llorente -4 look good gents?
Kaku may score at least one. You can do just Gabbi to Llorente. 🙂
Hi guys, please help as I will face h2h ML final against my friend that have KDB and take -4 hits.
AoA:
Cech,
Alonso, Stephens
Sanchez (c), Hazard, Alli, Eriksen, T. Carroll
Kane, Vardy, de Jesus
(Jaku, Holgate, Gabriel, Wasilewski)
My thought is :
A. Hazard -> Cou and T Carroll -> King (-4 too)
B. Hazard -> KDB to balance with my opponent?
C. Only Hazard -> Cou and have 4 pts advantage?
Would appreciate your thoughts, thx you guys.
CAB in this order
mahrez as a differential over vardy???
don't have a forward slot for vardy
Hazard to Fabregas for free.
Yes or No.
ive done it, differentiating from the Coutinho crowd and got the armband on him as im chasing my ML rival who has near enough exact same team as me
coutinho preferred
Thinking of getting sturridge if Firmino isn't fit.
Quick poll, who to get for the last GW
A) Mignolet
B) Heaton
C) Courtois
B
B
Who scores more in 38?
1) Lallana

3) Llorente
4) Fabregas

Lallana punt
