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.

    http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4228476/Carlos-Tevez-is-ready-to-replace-crocked-Sergio-Aguero-for-Manchester-City.html

    I know it's the Sun but that doesnt mean it's wrong. Sergio Aguero's out of tomorrow's game vs Sunderland.

    This will probably be confirmed later in City's press conference. It's common knowledge that he hasn't trained all week, and strong rumours in the City forums that Tevez will start vs Sunderland after being rushed through 45 minutes during the reserve game in midweek. With Balotelli and Dzeko out of form, i can definitely see it happening. Shame i'm 0.1 out of getting him.

                  Enrique --> Baines is done... tempted to take morrison out for 4 pts but quite like the look or Surman this weekend anyway so might go Morrison --> Sigurdsson next week instead.

        I have to say that whilst he was a brilliant footballer, he's an animal with serious mental issues. Anyone who goes out to intentionally break another professional's leg (Alf Inge Halaand) should not only be banned for life, but also face criminal charges.

          And whilst not being especially talented, he used what he had to enormous effect.

      I think as you have Pogrebnyak as well it's probably best not to captain Dempsey, might be relying too much on one team? It could pay off hugely but that's just a thought.

        I know what you mean. I don't think they'll do the 5-0 thing again, but you never know. I think Blackburn will give United a tough game, so I think the best option is RVP. Depends how drunk I get later though...

          Actually, the more I think of it, the more tempting RVP is looking. QPR have either been held to a draw or beaten by some mid to lower table teams, both at home and away. Arsenal are in some decent form right now and of course, RVP is 'due a goal'.

            the only problem that's throwing me for that is Arsenal's goals are coming from everyone now. Everyone is chipping in. That being said, I think as you have Pog, RVP is the best choice.

    I'm on my 4th iteration of DGW transfer plans.

    v4.0 has 10 playing gw34 with no points hits assuming Everton retain their gw34 fixture and 9 doublers in gw36 (10/9) for an 8 point hit (or 9/10 if the Everton game is reinstated in gw36).

    v4.1 has the same but with only a 4 point hit. The difference being Young gw34 and McClean gw34+35 versus Valencia gw34 and Yaya gw34+35.

          I love a good punt, and with reports suggesting that Aguero won't play this weekend, it could be a masterstroke. The only thing to be wary of is the question, will he start the following weekend, or the weekend after that?

      Who is the sub? I've got Kelly and I have no plans to have him anywhere near my starting 11, Fulham are just too unpredictable at the moment, but it depends on who your alternatives are.

          I'm playing Skrtel over Kelly, I don't see a cleanie for either but Skrtel carries a bit more threat, when I saw the Fulham v Swansea game Kelly was absolutely diabolical.

      lol, I can see that you're trying to talk yourself out of getting him so you can go for Tevez.....

      End of the day, City are a better team defensively when he's in there and with the GD being so tight now - clean sheets are a top priority (with scoring of course).

    Holding onto Dempsey because he "scores in double gameweeks" is superstition and ridiculous.

      Yeah that Dempsey stat is total nonsense. Fulham had hit a dip in form and are creating alot less chances at the minute. While I see them picking up in some of the favourable fixtures I don't see them getting much away at Goodison and Anfield.

    Just to be sure of winning who would you transfer out? Think were both going to captain Rooney.
