I hate double Gameweeks. So often false dawns for Fantasy managers, they can promise so much and deliver so little leaving you frustrated and left to clear the ugly remnants of some hurried squad surgery. Then again – the announcement of the latest slew of doubles may just have left the door ajar for me to close the mini-league gap on Mark. Our host was certainly wriggling uncomfortably in his chair during today’s recording, pondering the damage that the Gameweek 34 blanks could inflict and the surge in points that Gameweeks 35 and 36 could bring.

In truth we hardly had time to digest the full picture before dragging ourselves into the studio. Like giggling schoolgirls at a One Direction concert, we were giddy with excitement and largely incoherent with our speech. Still, in and amongst the usual regulars, you might just find something of value amongst the jibberings.

    Seems planning for the DGW was easier than I expected. Will have 10 in GW34 and 8 in GW 36 with no hits and took like 10 mins to plan out. Now I just gotta watch and wait as my plans get destroyed by injuries.

      hopefully 3-3

      Ba Hattrick and then Pardew thinks he has won the game so he benches Simpson/Willimson on 65th minute and then Suarez scores a hattrick

    city(kompany) – SUN, ars, WBA, nor , wol

    Whom do you think will score more pts? Do you think Vermaleen’s purple patch is about to get over?

    Feeling a punt and going for Verm (C), he's got 31 points in his last 3. QPR are without Cisse, anyone agree?

    Nadal - 8/13

    Who do you fancy to win it?

    Greetings all. I have a slight dilemma I was hoping some of you fine folks could help me with. I'm currently sitting in the top 1.5k and on top of all my mini leagues (only just in two of the leagues) and I'm contemplating taking a 4 point hit for the first time this season.

    My team reads as follows:

    Kenny/Vorm
    Simpson/Williamson/Taylor (SWA)/Evans/Hangeland
    Bale/Valencia/Sigurdson/Dempsey/Walcott
    Rooney/RVP/Yak

    I'm toying with the idea of replacing Hangeland with Cahil and Yak with Cisse (who I regrettably transferred out couple weeks back). I have the exact cash to do this exchange and the only reason I am contemplating it in this gameweek (rather than using a free transfer to rid of Kenny) is that both the players' values will no doubt increase at which point I may not have the necessary funds.

    Hangeland is an shoe-in for this weekend but if I wait, I may lose the opportunity to bring Cisse and Cahil in the week after due to price rises.

    Any thoughts/suggestions?

    Just joined to post a serious dilemma, and you all seem to know your stuff!

    Team for the week is:

    Hart
    Cahill/Verm/Evans (Kelly/Caulker)
    Walcott/Valencia/Ryo/Bale/BArfa
    Roo/RVP (Pog)

    Surely Pog should be in the team but i need help on deciding who to take out? Any help greatly appreciated! Cheers!

    Have I got team right for this GW?

    Friedel
    Kelly | Richards | Evans
    Bale | Moses | Valencia | Dempsey
    Rooney(C) | RVP | P.Cisse

    Subs: Bogdan / Siggy / Enrique / Caulker

    Caulker isnt available, I'm pretty sure Enrique will conceed at Newcastle and Friedel is more likely of a CS than Bogdan. Only real issue, is it right to bench Siggy? I know people have been burned by this before, but Spurs away I dont expect Swansea to do much, only problem is if they do something its likely he could be involved?
