The Big Numbers – Gameweek 33

Our post-Gameweek members article is served up this Wednesday lunchtime as we assess some of the stand-out performers over the previous round of fixtures.

Harry Kane, Roberto Firmino and Harry Maguire all catch the eye, and with double Gameweeks predominant in our planning, we also take time out to analyse Manchester United, Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough assets ahead of their pair of upcoming matches.

    Is the consensus that Lukaku > Ibra isn't worth a hit? Am WCing in GW36

    1. Chris_White
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      If they go through tomorrow, I wouldn't do it

      No consensus

    3. MANGE TOUT RODNEY

      I'm keeping Lukaku until the end now

  4. Judas
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Which do you like the best?

    A: Zlatan + Friend + Gibson (-8)
    B: Benteke + De Gea + Gibson (-8)

  5. Pinky Blinders

    What are Everton playing for? Lukaku' golden boot? Just wondering if some of them might already be headed to the beach.

    1. Individual
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      This. Keeping Kaku for WHU... after that in terms of managing the 'business end' (think it was you who commented yesterday about it when I posted haha :D) he has to go. Probably for Gabbi with Hull H!

    2. Sterling Chap
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      They are playing for Lukaku's golden boot 🙂

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Maximise the price they get for him in the summer

        1. Pariße

          This 🙂

      Lukaku > Jesus next week...

      1. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Aguero to lose his place with his form?

        1. Boomerang V
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          I don't think so. Gabriel Jesus is a player for next season. There is no hurry in making him shine right now. Aguero on the other hand needs to improve his image so they can sell him to PSG or China.

  6. Thoughtopsy
    • 8 Years

    Lanzini to....
    A) Townsend
    B)King

    1. Sebastes
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      A if you still have WC, otherwise B imo

    2. Sterling Chap
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      A

    3. Mkhimous
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      B if you have Zaha; else B. Mulling over the same decision.

      1. Mkhimous
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        else A.*

  7. Sterling Chap
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    G2G? Or is there a giant sized Siggy hole in my squad that needs to be mended with a -4 Zaha filler?

    Jaku
    GIBSON Alonso* VALENCIA
    Eriksen Alli(vc) Siggy King
    IBRA(vc) Lukaku(c) Kun
    Subs: Foster* T.Carroll Yoshida Amat

      Oops noticed I have two VCs - should be on Ibra

  8. Ruffio
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Do people think there's much value in the dgw 36 fixtures for soton and Arsenal?
    Considering w'cing. Gw 35 to get them in but still saving BB for gw37.

    Hold on...I can just wc gw36 and still get them in can't i?

    Cheers

    1. Individual
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Yeah just WC in 36 mate 🙂

    2. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      But Soton has juicy fixture in 35 vs Hull

    3. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      If one already have Tadic or Gabbi from GW35 i think they are useful vs Liverpool and Arsenal (especially home to Arsenal). I have Yoshi, but not sure if i use him, depends what alternative i have at the time we get there-)
      For example; if you go with a 5 midfield like I am atm, and swapping Siggy to Tadic before GW35 it will be between him and Anichebe, and that´s a no-brainer imo. But if you´re going 3-4-3, and you have to choose between him and King then there´s another quarrel, i´d say.

      Tadic or Gabbi could be value, but depending a little on your team structure and your other option of course.

      Arsenal is difficult to predict, but Sanchez should be in the mix even with his lack of form atm. That tactical change also diffuses things so one should be monitoring what Wenger does vs Leicester. Paulista could turn to be a cheap route into their defense, and even Giroud could be a handy choice. Bellerin as a RWB sounds tempting, but pricey he is-). But i all depends on formation and while that is still uncertain it´s best to avoid, i think.

    Hi all

    Best (c) amongst this front 7? Not going to be captaining Rojo, Barragan or Hennessey at the back lol

    Eriksen Alli Haz Sanch Zaha
    Tekkers Kaku

    Am thinking of putting it on Zaha. Not getting Ibra! 30 behind ML rival so need to differentiate... even with captaincy if he brings Zaha in, which I expect he will

    Thanks!

    1. Sebastes
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Haz or Tekkers, I'd be tempted by the former if I had him

      1. Individual
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Hmm, makes sense, however to some extent I just feel like DGW = DGW captain, hence Zaha at the moment (Tekkers.. meh... happy to own, never captaining again :D). But can deffo see why you'd think Haz 😀 thanks dude!

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Lukaku all the way. He is going to punish West Ham.

    3. Legomane
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      kak or sanchez for me 🙂

      1. Individual
        • 10 Years

        Cheers ... Boy oh boy

  10. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    £2.4itb and want to take one hit only. What's the next move?

    Jakupovic
    Alonso / Valencia / Davies / Maguire
    Alli / Sigurdsson / Zaha
    Ibrahimovic / Kane / Lukaku

    Heaton / Sterling / Stephens / T. Carroll

    1. Individual
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Really good team Dingo. I'd be tempted by Hennessey for Jaku or Heaton, maybe, but apart from that I wouldn't be making any bigger moves.... Siggy to Townsend perhaps a possibility too, but I'd not be 100% confident in that one. DGW Gambler in me might advocate doing it, tho...

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Thanks for the response Individual. I'm not keen on doubling up on CP attack as they have Spurs second game. I'd almost prefer to get King for the long haul.

        1. Individual
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          Fair enough mate. I've gone a bit apepoo, accidentally (was drunk) got Tekkers in for Kun on Saturday night (lucky it was the right Benteke!!!) and now in the situation where I have Henn Zaha Tekkers 😀

          Oh well. I was thinking of King, but I've rid myself of Kun now, so once Zaha goes Sane/Sterling will be who comes in I reckon ('power 4' of Eriksen, Alli, Sanchez, Haz being my other mids)

      2. Sterling Chap
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Yeh, reckon Hennessey is a good shout

        1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          Hennessey has Liverpool away and Spurs at home. Why do you think he's a good shout? Save points?

    2. Ballistics
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Team looks good. Long shot punt would be alonso to bailly. Double up on MU defence freeing up funds to upgrade Siggy if he flops this week.

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Jaku to De Gea as keeper for 2 double game weeks?

    4. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      If you did Hennesey in for Heaton, say, would you then afford to make a swap from Siggy to Hazard, not this week but week after?

  11. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Thoughts on My GW37 WC team. No Sanchez only real concern

    Courtious | Bravo
    Alonso Bailly Huth Holgate Stephens
    King Zaha Hazard Sane Alli
    Kane Jesus Gabbiadini

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Long way until gw37.

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Any early thoughts

    2. Individual
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Wouldn't touch Bravo with the rotation threat.

      Zaha doesn't have a DGW in 37, so he should also be turfed out - maybe Walcott or Tadic can sit there?

      King / Holgate solid SGWers here.

      Hope that helps.

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Thanks this is just the first draft will probably be many changes come. Tadic looks a good option

    3. Legomane
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      looks ok , i'll be keeping pickford in one gk slot. zaha > sanchez somehow and perhaps bailly holgate > clichy and another

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Thanks, cant afford sanchez without serious downgrading

    4. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      What's your sell value? Or much money left?

    What are those with de Roon doing? Starting him?

    1. Cojiro
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Tempted to play him over siggy.

    2. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      What the hell. Why not!

    3. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Yes

    4. La Vida Latte
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      If you have a dgw:er in your team and don´t play him - why is he there?

      1. Pep says
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        DeRoon is a bench fodder. Double gameweek or no double gameweek, I'd fancy my sgw mids with a good fixture to outscore DeRoon even if he had a triple gw

  13. ol3andre
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Ibrahimovic, Rojo and DDG with DGW. Is the captain a no-brainer on Zlatan or should I consider someone else?

    1. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Who else have you got?

      Many will captain Zlatan, I'm just not sure how well he will do. Maybe 1 goal over the two games?

      1. ol3andre
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Lukaku, Origi, Alli, Eriksen, Siggy, King....atleast some candidates. I know it is really hard when you dont know if he is getting x2 90 minutes.

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Rojo-)?

  14. AJ24
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Current Team:

    Valdes, Grant
    Alonso, Vertonghen, Holebas, Yoshida, Amat
    Sanchez, Coutinho, Son, Siggy, T Carroll
    Lukaku, Ibra, Benteke

    1FT & £0.0 ITB

    I have WC, TC, BB, AOA left of my chips.

    GW34 - Siggy -> Zaha
    GW35 - Wildcard
    GW36- Triple Captain, more than likely Sanchez
    GW37 - Bench Boost
    GW 38 - AOA

    How does this look? Any suggestions?
    Current Rank - 274k and would love to push towards top 100k

    1. GS456
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      like it! same weeks for my wildcard, triple c and bb.

      Sanchez triple in 35 is the one for us having all 3 key chips left.

    2. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Nearly prefer to TC Kane against the defence that is West Ham

    3. Gilberto.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Exact same plan as me! So it looks awesome

    4. Petaderock
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      You have a rich chip bank...Isnt Valdes injured?

      Bring in Zaha and Townsend for Siggy, T Carrol

  15. Cojiro
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Play Siggy or De Roon?

    1. GS456
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      De roon. Always the Double player.

    2. RealSocialDads
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Siggy

    3. Legomane
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      siggy

    4. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Siggy

    5. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      De Roon I guess although I am playing both and benching Andy Carroll for a 3-5-2

  16. GS456
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Does anyone use FFIX on iphone to monitor price changes?

    The app no longer sends notifications. Wondering why??

    1. Individual
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Mine is - look in settings to see if the notifications are on! If not, they might've changed it this week as they always say during DGWs the threshold for rising is different.

  17. GS456
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    who on here is actually captaining ibra??

    hoping they lose on thursday.

    1. Legomane
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      considering getting kane instead...

    2. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      My feeling is he will blank (or not even play) v Burnley and might get a goal v City. So perhaps 8-10 pts total?

  18. Live Lad
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Crazy to do AGUERO to Negredo AND Siggy to Hazard (-4)?
    Have WC.

    1. DJ1000
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Like it.

  19. Pegboy
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Henn (Jaku)
    Walker Alonso Maguire (Funes Mori, Nyom)
    Sanchez, Alli, Zaha, Sterling (T.Carrol)
    Lukaku Vardy Kane

    0.4m 1Ft. I'm wildcarding in GW36, so this is for the double and GW35 only.

    Narrowed it down to:

    A) Vardy + Alonso > Ibra + Gibson/Bailly (-4)
    B) Vardy + F.Mori > Benteke + Gibson/Bailly (-4)
    C) Either of above + Sterling > Townsend (-8)

  20. Meme2011
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    how likely Holding or Benalouane keep their places till end of season?

  21. CarrollsPonytail
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Who scores the most points over the next 2 GWs in your opinion?

    A - Benteke (liv, TOT, BUR)
    B - Negredo (bou, SUN, MCY)

    1. Bubbles1985
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Negredo!

    2. DJ1000
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Gw34 Negredo! Gw35 benteke! So very close over both

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Negredo for me but fitness permitting will transfer to Gabbiadini home to Hull in 35.

  22. Atimis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Pick:
    1. Grant to Valdes (if fit)
    2. Grant to Hennessey and Robertson to Barragan -4 (would have to play him over Alonso)
    ??

  23. Bubbles1985
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    If I bring in Townsend...

    Do I go with

    a) Negredo
    b) Benteke

    My only other DGWers are Valdes and Ibra.

    I have WC left and not willing to take much more of a hit than -4 for Palace/Boro players!!

    1. DJ1000
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      I would go Negredo for gw34. Based on all the info this week.

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Lol at your recent posting history. You are Negredo's Dad right? 😀

    2. Legomane
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      probably negredo, but have a plan to shift next week (gabbiadini / jesus). don't like double CPL attack this week!

      1. Bubbles1985
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        I have 1.6m itb so will be able to make the Negredo > Gabbiadini switch next week!

  24. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Whos up for a challenge, have 101.2m to create a WC team for GW37, come up with the best squad for GW37?

    1. Sylas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      So you want us to pick your team for you?! 🙄

    2. Legomane
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      gw37 is too far away - too much can change!

  25. Jedi_Reed
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    I think I'm overthinking things, but I'm tempted to use my FT to do Siggy > Firmino, instead of Kun > Zlatan.

    Main pitfall is the EO of Zlatan in top 10K. Don't know if there's much room for differentials at this point.

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      I'd keep Siggy for Stoke match

      It can be a differential by NOT having him. If he scores between 3 and 6 it will be ideal for you. Choose the bloke who scores 10+ ....
      the only problem is that I don't know who that might be.

        Yeah, I just feel I'm being forced to get him in because of the DGW. Wait and see what happens in the Europa League.

    I'm having a Zlatan conundrum. I still have my WC and will use it in GW35 so whichever move would be short term and can be reversed.

    A. Kane to Zlatan,
    B. Lukaku to Zlatan,
    C. Sanchez and Llorente to Zaha and Zlatan (-4),
    D. Alonso and Llorente to Ake and Zlatan (-4), or
    E. No Zlatan, punt on Llorente to Rashford?

    If going for D, I'd have 4 playing defenders but would need to move ASAP as I have exact change.

    First to 3...
    a) Llorente (STK, mun) > Ibra -4
    b) Origi (CPL, wat) > Ibra -4
    c) Hold

    So I am currently sitting with...

    Valdes (Pickford)
    Olsson - S.Ward - Walker (Lescott - A.Smith)
    Firmino - Sane - Tadic - Eriksen (Antonio*)
    Carroll - Kane - Ibra

    I have 1FT and 1.6m itb.

    Will WC in GW36 and BB GW37

    I am thinking to take -4 this week and go Antonio/Carroll > Townsend/Negredo

    Chasing down some points in our ML and he has Zaha/Benteke combo, so I am looking
    to take a risk and try claw back some points! (He has no bonus chips left)

    Any other options that I have overlooked?
    Am I bothering with DGW players when I shouldn't?

    Thanks!

      Go Townsend Negredo and Captn Negredo

      1. Bubbles1985
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        I cannot give captaincy to Negredo, no matter how much I want to!

        (Unless I am still drunk Saturday morning!)

    Any thoughts on this WC team for WK35. Would be much appreciated!

    Pickford Cech
    Alonso Clichy Bailly Yoshida Evans
    Sanchez Alli Son Sane Redmond
    Kane Costa Gabbi

    0.3ITB

    Got 15 DGW players for GW37. Will AOA 36 so I can get the extra DGW player from Redmond without benching another decent player.

    Cheers!
