FFS Cups – Results and Fifth Round Draws

Zaha & Townsend

Zaha only on WC.

I looked at options like Mikhi and Herrera but the rotation fear kills it.
Might just double up on Townsend lol.

Zaha only for me, can't drop any of Sanchez Alli and Coutinho considering their fixtures

None, only looking at strikers, defenders and possibly a gk

Zaha only. Ali, Eriksen and Sanchez for me still offer bigger points in a SGW. Ali (c) currently.

Simply too many good options especially in a 3-4-3

Who to bench out of: Zaha, Siggy, Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen ?

Very tempted with Herrera or Lingard, to come in for Siggy. But rotation risk has stopped me so far

De Roon for me (hope that 'll play).

I was thinking about Ramirez but he didn't impres me in Arsenal game and he tends to be subbed of early so i gave up on him.

Just Zaha for me

Last season Townsend was widely backed in the run in. And to my amazement he did really well. One or two of Cabaye, Zaha or Townsend could work.

I'm content with Ibra and Zaha. I stupidly bought Barnardo last week thinking he was nailed but if he doesn't play I'm not hugely bothered

I have zaha. I just don't see anyone else with 2 games getting in over Sanchez king Alli... this DGW is destined to be the biggest anti climax so I'm not worried...yet

Ps Jonty you pronounce my name Po-vey-lia...not the easiest...;-)

Thing is who in our midfield isn't performing? Not gonna drop Sanchez spurs Liverpool hazard king. Siggy owners could punt I guess but I'd prob rather keep him. Therefore don't really care bout the dgw options, Zaha plenty for me

Utterly bemused by them all to be honest. Palace tough fixtures and midfielders are too hit and miss. I also have Benteke and PVA so don't want to triple up. United far too inconsistent to go near any of their midfielders. Middlesborough are less appealing than most mids with a sgw. Also, alot of people have a bench headache this week as it is, a Boro midfielder would make the decision easy.. ie.. Bench DeRoon

Townsend clocks up the bps and is likely to be a decent punt if bonus points if he gets the odd assist or goal

Just Zaha and there is no way I am taking a hit for another With Alli (cpl), Siggy (STO) and Sane (MUN). I think many are in the same both with good fixtures for Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs.

I've backed zaha and Townsend:

Good palace form
Strong statistics for both
Not completely safe just yet
Guaranteed both matches (bar injury)
Giant killers, wouldn't be surprised at returns against pool and spurs
Crucially for me, good fixture the following week.

Anyone else like downing or a united player is a bit punty even for me

There's only three dgw midfielders on the current Watchlist: Zaha, Lingard and Townsend. That probably tells its own story.

The real issue is that this season has been won by those who have packed their midparks with quality players and there are a number of those players who have better prospects despite having only one game.

Does anyone really want to get rid of Alli, Hazard, Sanchez, Eriksen, Coutinho, King et al for this dgw?

I'm either gonna get Firmino or Zaha with my free transfer, leaning towards Firmino at the moment.

Already have Zaha and de Roon (been a season long enabler up till now, never considered playing him before now, and even with the DGW i'm still a bit torn) will use my ft elsewhere though so to answer the question, no.

Had Mata been an option I would have considered him but nothing else even remotely stands out..

I think I'm going in with only Zaha in attack. 3 DGW defenders and Zaha. No Zlatan (May consider him if Utd lose tonight). Would have to take a hit to get him in and he may not start both games. I feel my team is strong enough to dodge too much damage seen as this DGW is rubbish for options.

Can only see some good options in defence and maybe an attacker from those teams having a DGW, going with Hennesey, Valencia, Rojo and Ibra atm. My midfield is currently beeing made up by Cout, Sanchez, Alli, King and Siggy with whom i am quite happy with, and with no WC left I can´t afford to make unnecessary moves. Siggy will probably be Sane from GW35 anyway, and it will be much easier to swap from Siggy to Sane than Zaha to Sane, with their respective fixtures in mind-).

Zaha only. Same thoughts as my fellow friends above.

Zaha and De Roon here. May use BB this week, uninspiring though it seems, as I have already used WC (dont want to say blown as it was very much needed and got my season back on track) and I happen to have quite a few DGW players in my squad - more by accident than design!

I've had De Roon as 5th mid for ages so will be playing him. Not interested in any others.

Hey KoL,

Thanks. Just to be clear, does this mean that you are looking for teams who are not WCing in GW36 (ahead of GW37)..

So, if I were to WC during 35, ahead of 36, and BB during 36 ahead of 37, then this is OK?

I understand that the above is the template for teams looking to BB in massive DGW 37, so I presume this is what you are after.

Just to be clear, if you are using your WC in GW34 or GW35 you are welcome to join

Hi KOL, am I eligible with TC but no WC? Will be TCing in 37

Joined - gonna try and win with no WC in the bag 😀

This hot topic has had about 5 titles now 😆

Great idea - joined.

I like the sound of this!

I've joined 🙂

Thanks KOL just joined 🙂

Sounds great. Joined.

Last year's analysis for reference

http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2016/06/04/going-out-with-a-bang-fpl-chips-analysis/

TC GW27 and WC GW30 so joined!

Signed up, TC used GW10, WC used GW29.

Cheers

No chips left for me. Interesting to see how I do 🙂

Cheers for running this again. I'm in - WC 21 and TC 27.

I'm in. WC sometime around 30 and TC in 27

Joined, only have the AOA and BB chips left. WC used weeks ago and used TC on Kun earlier. Should be an intersting little league. Expecting to finish well below those who WC this week, or next week.

I'm in.

Hello KoL!

I have this silly doubt - not wildcarding in GW 36 means

1) I am eligible if I use my wildback before GW 36 deadline

2) I am eligible if I use my wildcard after GW 36 deadline

Thanks 🙂

Interesting to read from last year that the evidence points towards an early WC that can yield increased returns over multiple gameweeks, and yet wc36 bb37 is being staunchly championed again.

Joined. WC spent last week and TC in GW27 non event.

Hi Kings of Lyon
Hope everything goes well for OL this evening and we go through... safer than last week obviously 🙂
Very good idea to go for a second shot of GOWAB.
Unfortunately I'm not eligible as I still have my TC chip in hand 🙂
Just for my information, can you please explain the rationale behind the decision to restrict the analysis to people not WCing in 36 and with only the WC/BB combo left ?
Thanks 🙂

Cheers KoL- I'm in. WC & TC already blown and might use BB this week as I have 2 Boro, 2 Man U & Zaha and still have 1FT which I'll probably use to double up on United defence

Nice one, I'm in!

joined with no WC

I've updated this HT - I'm sure KoL will be on hand to answer any further questions about the change.

Due to Ibrahimovics injury I am now opening up the Going out with a Bang II league to everyone who does not have their triple captain left to play.
