A little later than usual, we look back on the previous round of fixtures after last night’s Manchester derby brought the curtain down on Double Gameweek 34.
As many of us prepare to unleash our second Wildcards, a number of big-hitters make a strong claim for our plans over the remaining four Gameweeks.
I would say so. At least from the quotes from yesterday.
Gabriel Jesus is just a Brazilian Daniel Sturridge. Lol
Last Man Standing down to 32 left.
At least half will be out this GW.
Known posters include Mark, Syd, Kryten, My Pretty Pony, Deano, Liastro and Triggerlips.
Oooh, still in! Thought Negrado call would have killed me, but I guess I wasn't alone...
On WC down to two choices. TC36 or 38 and BB37. A or B? Concerned I sacrificed too much defense in B to fit in Costa.
A
Caballero - Cech
Alonso - Yoshida - Blind - Kompany - Monreal
Hazard - Sanchez - Eriksen - Alli - King
Kane - Gabbiadini - Anichebe
B
Pickford - Cech
Alonso - Yoshida - Stephens - Holgate - Gabriel
Hazard - Sanchez - Eriksen - Alli - Carroll
Kane - Gabbiadini - Costa
Cheers
B. Defence looks fine
People ditching Lukaku this week?
No, giving him the armband
Yeah, looks like his price will also drop
2nd most transferred out player with numbers like Negredo and Ibra.
Jesus has risen
Cedric or Lovren, one week punt ?
Cedric, Pool don't do clean sheets
What do you think of this? 🙂
Caballero / Pickford
Alonso / Bailly / Vertonghen / Stephens / Holgate
Sanchez / Hazard / Alli / Sane / King
Kane / Jesus / Gabbiadini
I could switch Alli and Holgate --> Eriksen and Yoshida possibly... Not keen on having Arsenal defence but might end up shoving one in there. Could have Tekkers this week and have money to do Tekkers --> Jesus next week
Great overall. I'd do those moves to give you Eriksen and Yoshida. Leave Arsenal defence. Is Willy safe for the season now? Be wary of Gabbi's minutes with Austin on his way back
I prefer Monreal to Vertonghen for the run in. Rest looks good, my WC draft is the same except Monreal as mentioned and Coutinho/Yoshi over Sane/Stephens.
I have the same Tekkers dilemma but I think I'm going Jesus anyway.
WC Lawro?
Very nice. Super team value :O
I like that switch, Eriksen should tick along nicely, depneding on how much you got Alli at. Also like the idea of keeping Benteke while he's on form vs Burnley who travel poorly.
Aye, think I have to play it now. Also think I'll make the proposed switches...
Thanks everyone! 😀
i like the idea of eriksen and yoshida personally, great side.
Nice team, I would do Alli and Holgate --> Eriksen and Yoshida.
Jesus is a risk which i'm sure you know. Still could pay off nicely though.
I think it's beautiful Lawro apart from Jesus. Imo Pep can't be trusted and what appears to be a DGW may well end up as a SGW. I can't get away from a Kane ( form) , Costa ( new found form to attract a big contract and buyers ) and fixtures and Gabbi. Sane is my fall guy for the same reasons as Jesus.
Cheers Slouch 😉
Jesus is my punt... definitely risky, I've owned Costa a lot this season and he's just so frustrating... don't really want to revert back to him!
He's a very moody bar steward.
Very decent, Lawro, but I would say that as it is close to my draft. Your defence is better than mine (Alonso and Vert), midfield identical, but I'm looking at Ag and Costa rather than Jesus and Kane. If Jesus gets the minutes you'll smash it.
Sorry, you've got Alli rather than my Erik, but very close!
Wow I find your choice of forwards surprising but hey, you clearly know what you're doing 😉
I think he's a world beater in the making and hopefully Pep sees that too. GL 😀
Yeah, my logic is I can easily downgrade from Aguero (hope I don't have to) but I'd love the luxury of another week to monitor because your gamble could really pay off. Good luck with your squad (well, 90% of it 🙂 ).
Looks good, do the moves you said
Thoughts on JWP as a WC enabler?
Won't play him gw 36, but ok with bb gw 37
Decent... think I prefer Albrighton though
those fixtures in 37 are horrendous though!
Good pick, double DGW is hard to look past.
I like him as a pick. Better than Albrighton alternative.
Anyone know how long Claudio Bravo is out for? I''m thinking of buying his replacement
Season by the sound of reports
Hey guys
Sorry if this is a silly question but I still have a WC and the three boosts. Any suggestions when to use them?!
Including triple captain?
WC this week, TC next, BB 37 and AoA 38
Wc now? Yeah TC too
Bench one:
A) Sanchez
B) Jesus
C) King
B. Not sure of a start.
Jesus. Will get another cameo I think.
B
Thoughts?
Caballero, Pickford
Alonso, Gabriel, Blind, Yoshida, Holgate
Sanchez, Hazard, Sane, King, JWP
Kane, Gabbiadini, Costa
0 in the bank.
GW 35: Plan to use AOA this week so Holgate, Gabriel and Alonso on bench.
GW 36: Bench Holgate, Blind and JWP(What a shame) on bench.
GW 37: BB.
GW 38: Bench Holgate, Gabriel and King/JWP, although i'm sure things will change.
Solid. Do you think Sane will get rested this weekend? Alot of minutes recently.
Looking to have 2 FTs for 37?
don't bench ALonso!
Sane is a risk but i think he will start. Yep, save up 2 FTs and make any transfers necessary come GW 37.
I really don't like benching Alonso, would you save AOA and bench JWP this week? Chelsea can't keep clean sheets lately.
If i use AOA next week it means benching Yoshida who has a DGW so figured i'd rather Yoshida in 2 tough games over Alonso's tricky away game?
What do you think of my WCT?
Jaku/Pickford
Alonso/Gabriel/Stones/Holgate/Stephens
Hazard/Sanchez/Eriksen/King/JWP
Kane/Costa/Gabbi
Wouldn't go costa + hazard imo. Sanchez is also someone that on a wildcard I'd be tempted to not bother getting him (Sanchez owner). Also no guarantee stones gets back in.
Costa > Jesus
Sanchez > KDB
Stones > Kompany
All depends for me if you are chasing or leading
Leading > go with what you have
Chasing > my changes
Thanks. Chasing unfortunately - I'm not sure about Kompany to be honest, the guys is made of glass!
Valencia > Kompany (-4)
Or play Valencia and if he doesn't play Davies comes in.
When is rose back?
Will Jesus start this weekend?
Not imo
Nobody knows - anyone who gives a definitive answer to this besides Pep is talking crap 🙂
He'll get enough minutes for sure
Thanks for all the help guys - looks like I might stick with this. Good WC team ?
Forster/Caballero
Alonso-Fuchs-Montreal-Yoshida-Ranocchia
Coutinho-Eriksen-Sanchez-King-Albrighton
Costa-Benteke-Gabbi
ITB 1.8
Lukaku to Gabbi for FT?
Gabriel Jesus is just but a Brazilian Daniel Sturridge.looool
So a natural goal scorer then 😉
I'm Absolutely stuck on this one...
Who shall I bench?
MIDS
Sanchez, Alli, King, Sane, Hazard
FW
Costa, Kane, Gabbi
No AOA
Sane
Thanks mate... I was kind of leaning that way.
wc team gtg?
caballero pickford
alonso stephens holgate gabriel (defeneder under 4.5m)
sanchez hazard alli sane king
kane jesus anichebe
should i fit in gabbiadini? not. sure about jesus.

SCOUT PICKS CHALLENGE - GAMEWEEK 35
GW32 results: http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/15554068
I will catch up I promise.
****** WHAT IS IT? ******
For those of you who haven't been around or aren't aware, every evening prior to the start of the gameweek FFS releases their picks of players for the gameweek, "Scout Picks", as well as 3 differentials before the first games to separate yourself from the crowd.
This is your way to have a bit of fun and challenge those scout picks with a set of your own (read instructions below). This will always open the day before the gameweek starts around 8pm, and whilst you don't have to play weekly, the more you play the better chance you have of winning!
Gameweek winners will also be awarded a spot in the Community Roundup article.
****** INSTRUCTIONS ******
Everyone can have their own scout picks (there is no limit on team value) but with one simple rule,
YOU CAN ONLY PICK ONE PLAYER FROM EACH TEAM
(yes, two of your players at least will be on opposing teams).
You can only have ONE submission, and your FIRST submission will be what is accepted. You also must respond DIRECTLY to this post (not to a reply on this post). FFS Scout Picks are automatically enrolled. Teams must comply with FPL formation rules and be submitted in an easy to read format, e.g.
GK
DEF DEF DEF
MID MID MID MID
FOR FOR FOR
Deadline for this gameweek is Saturday 29th April 11.30am.
****** SCORING ******
Regardless of number of applicants, scoring will be done by the following:
1st place: 3 points
Top 4% of the population will rank "second" and score 2 points.
Top 10% of the population will rank "third" and score 1 point.
There is also a bonus point which everyone is eligible for. If you score higher than FFS' Scout Picks AND Differential Picks (i.e. 14 players), you will be awarded with a bonus point regardless of whether you were in the top 10% scoring positions or not.
Welcome to the game, and good luck.
***** THE STANDINGS *****
1st - IanP1970 (28pts)
2nd - Slippin' Jimmy (23pts)
3rd - A Manager Has No Name (19pts)

WCíng next week... 1 week punt
A. Lukaku to Gabbiadini (will have him on my WC so could save some 0.2)
