Mainly utilised for his ball-winning abilities and dynamic displays in the heart of the Southampton midfield, Morgan Schneiderlin has been afforded a new lease of life since the January departure of Nigel Adkins. While his successful tackles and interceptions have been literally second to none in England’s top-flight this term, the Frenchman has recently added an extra element to his game and with three goals in his last six appearances, we cast an eye over his attacking performances under new Saints boss Mauricio Pochettino to decide whether his 18,000 new Fantasy Premier League (FPL) owners have themselves a bargain.
Okay, just done a last search for news on Walcott's injury and all signs point to him NOT being fit for Saturday. Even if he is back for WBA, I'm not too keen on doubling up for that game anyway.
I'll see what happens before GW33, but for now, welcome back Santi, can you try and score me some points this time please?Open Controls
Are you making n early change just to gain 0.1 or are you left on £0.0m after the trade?
Open Controls0.1 left, but I might actually need that cash.
I'm pretty convinced that he will miss the Reading game tbh.Open Controls
As a Gooner I agree, should be able to get a result with out Wally and losing him for for the run in would be a risk to far. Benched imo.
Open ControlsBenched? If he's fit he'll start if he's not he won't be involved. IMO him being named as a sub is the most unlikely scenario by far
Open Controls
Evening all... 🙂
Decided this is the time for me to play my WC, waiting until 33 could likely cost those that wait in the region of 1milish' and although uncertainty of starters this week there are some nice fixtures over the next two for many doublers.. Id be grateful to hear what you think..
From this..
De Gea 3.9 fodder
Enrique Davis Samba Pearce Rafeal
Bale Siss Michu Mata Walcott
Suarez RVP Remy
To this...
Boruc De Gea
Enrique Jenkinson Riether Fonte Rafeal
Bale Jenus Mata Hazard Santi
Suarez Roopig Berbs
Bank 0.6mil
Doublers:
3 x Mancs
2 x Chavs, can become x3 via Enrique if they get the double, although I may just back Azp now and be done with
2x Arse, can become x3 via a defender or Wally via Mata or Bale depending on doubles
2 x Fulham
Good plan?Open Controls
you have to go for premium doublers I reckon if yr using wc
reither berbs
mata hazard azpi
rvp rafa (maybe pig) ddg
caz wally gibbs/mon
There's 11 there...just try and squeeze them in
simple
in answer to yr question - not bad but maybe drop jenas for schneid and monitor sagna/gibbs for jenksOpen Controls+1
I think I have most of that covered, 2 transfers between now n then for the rest. Reckon I will change the draft by Apzi in JE out. Wally can come in for one of the mids depending.
Obviously keeping RVP or going with Roo is the biggy so I will have to mull that over a bit more. The extra cash does give me better cover for if/when the rotation hits hard and I think thats worth losing RVP for atm.. Will have a look at Schneid. thxOpen Controls
You think so? Good.. 🙂 Was struggling to find a palyable cheapie.
Open Controls
I'm contemplating
a.ditching michu and siss for santi and schneid for -4
Or
b. just swap wally out now for caz -0 (but just means an extra transfer to get him back for 33)
With my planned trannies for gw 36, I can still afford to buy back michu at the major loss -1.0
a or b?
Or
c. siss to caz + rafa to reither -4Open Controls
More stumped than I have been for a while...definitely doing Fellaini > Cazorla, but a second move is tempting as well.
Bego (Bunn)
Enrique - Zabaleta - Davies (Clyne, Pearce)
Bale (c) - Caz - Walcott - Mata (Sissoko)
RVP - Lambert - Benteke
If Theo's not playing this week then I think it's worth getting rid, as I can't see Siss doing anything away at City. Then the Jussi article had me thinking of getting rid of Bunn, and Riether is appealling as well as a sub in for Davies which should pay off in the next few.Open Controlsjust realised to afford Riether or Juice I'd have to get rid of Theo not Fellaini anyway, forgot about the whole money thing
Open Controls
My WC team looks lik this:
DDG Fabianski
Wilson Johnson Rafael Monreal Demel
BAle Sissoko Hazard Townsend Cazorla
Berba Sturidge RVP
Any glaring mistakes?Open Controls
yeah, sissoko imo
Open ControlsNeed Suarez over Sturridge imo. I'd downgrade at least one of those defenders or if not Sissoko
Open ControlsSuarez will probably get booked and get his 2 match ban, thats what is putting me off him
Open Controls
looks pretty solid. too much money in defense though imo. and i'd rather have double united attack than defense
Open ControlsId love Rooney in but that would mean a triple west ham defense....according to auto complete.
Is Johnson worth the extra .5?Open Controls
Is it worth downgrading Sissoko to Maloney which allows me to do Michu->Cazorla?
I have Walcott, that means Maloney will need to come in for Wally if he's out.
Or I will trade Mata->Cazorla then let Sissoko to come in for Wally, but I am not comfortable in losing Mata.
Advise please?
Wanna do it before the Cazorla rise 😮Open ControlsSorry but Caz price just changed...I thought it changed at 2.30 gmt
Open Controls
arrgh.. can't do wally > santi & cuellar > jenky anymore (0.1 short) 🙁
Open Controls
straight swap siss > maloney is what i'd do. i reckon he'll score this weekend. santi is irresistible, but losing mata is not a great thing to do atm. be brave and do it, or join the crowd and do wally > santi.
Open Controls
I'm wondering about the City CB position, do you think it's Nastasic alongside Kompany now that he's back or has Kolo Toure earned himself a place in the side?
Open Controlstoure is rubbish and was even subbed off at Everton. even Mancini admit he made a mistake not to sign a defender in the January window. enough said.
Open Controls
kolo toure will be bench.
Open Controlshow did kolo toure even come into conversation as a fantasy option? 😯
Open Controls
morning, DZers.
bego bunn
zaba JE davies cuellar pearce
mata walcott bale fellaini puncheon
RVP Suarez benteke
1 FT, 0.1 itb
A. walcott > santi & punchy > townsend (-4)
B. walcott > santi & JE > mertesacker (-4)
C. walcott > santi & cuellar > jenkinson (-4)
D. puncheon > maloney
thoughts appreciated.Open ControlsAnyone keeping Lukaku this GW?
Open ControlsI would if I had him
Open Controls
1. start Davies (TOT) or Cuellar (MUN)?
2. 1st sub Punchy (CHE) or the left out Defender?Open Controlssame problem myself cept it's between davies cueller and clyne.
punch more likely to get you 1 point. the defenders could get you anywhere from -1 (unlikely) to 8 imoOpen Controlsokay, so punch wo'nt be my 1st sub. but which Def to start? currently i'm thinking Davies, maybe not getting a cleanie but possible assist return.
Open Controls
Good option for a DF 5.0 and under for rest of season?
Open Controls
Is Benteke to Berb worth a hit? already doing Wal -to- Caz and Punch to T/end for free.
Open Controlsi don't think so. i have Benteke and also interested in Berba, but not doing it. at least not now. Benteke has good from + fixtures too. do you have suarez? i have RVP suarez and benteke upfront, and willing to do suarez > berba for DGW33 if the liverpool man is going to get suspended.
Open Controls
too late, Caz already rose
Open ControlsI can still afford him though. i was asking if that's a good transfer for this week
Open Controlsbetter late than never. that's my motto.
Open Controlsi don't think so. however, i feel safe to have santi now. if he fails against Reading, at least i know he has DGW to follow. i'll bring back walcott if i need to.
Open Controls
pretty much just unknowingly took over the recent comments 😯
where is everyone???Open Controls
I have a long way to go to get to his "level"... 😉
Open Controls
do you guys think we'll hear from Wenger about walcott? if so, when?
Open Controlswhat time does he usually have his press conference? hopefully it'll be before I leave... 😕
Open ControlsAfternoon usually... anywhere between 11am-2pm...

Re comment above saying I maybe better of waiting to use my WC, care to expand on your thinking?
Have you still got your WC ? If so what are your plans?Open Controlsuncertainty of who might start this week AND you don't know if united or chelsea will have a dgw in gw 33. would be best to wait so you can set up the ideal team for all gw 33 dgw's and then have a plan to shift out players for the gw 36 dgw's.
also we still don't know when the man city dgw will be. AND spurs could have a blank in gw 33 followed by a tough fixture so you might be better off without bale for 1-2 weeksOpen ControlsGood points, I have considered points 1 and 2 and have a contingency's for that thankfully, just one transfer should max me out with either. I think I have now got all the key players I would want in 33 in now as I reckon most may score well in 31 and 32 which I hope will offer added value but I agree there is a risk there even if a calculated one, also 36 doubles appeal to me less than 33.
Good point on Bale I thought the same, not toooo scared of losing him tho atm.Open Controls
Has TM245 come on yet?
I have to leave soon and want to pick my players before I miss out...Open Controlslamps vs theo vs kags vs ollie... can't decide who I want 😕
you going for any of those?Open ControlsNope...
I was hoping to pick Berbs, Lambert, Riether and Beausejour...Open Controlsinteresting...
everyone will want berbs. the rest I reckon you should get easily.
who do you think is my best bet from those four?Open ControlsYou need to pick a defender as well... at least one each position... def mid str...
From those, I'd prefer Lamps... but Giroud could have one of those games...Open Controls
for what?
Open Controls
Puncheon ➡ Maloney for a (-4) hit. Worth it?
Open Controls
Probably. Punchy's star has waned of late with the emergence of Rodriguez and Schneiderlin seems to be the cheapy du jour in the Saints midfield now. You'll get a double out of Maloney at least and maybe even something this week, although Norwich will be playing for a draw as usual.
Open Controlsprobably. will you be playing either punch or maloney this week?
Open ControlsMaloney if I do the transfer. The problem is, I'm facing a risk of having only three midfielders playing i.e. Puncheon and Walcott. I have a WC in hand but I am still deciding if I should play it GW33 or GW36 since I have a fair lot of DGW players but also depending on the FA Cup replay. Question is should I go Schneiderlin as a few weeks punt or Maloney straight to DGW?
Open Controls
Yes.
Open Controls
What did I miss?
Open Controlswhere they all about the rescheduling of United / Chelsea?
Open Controls
Anichebe (C) anyone??
late game on saturday. 😉Open ControlsI hate that I brought Jonny Evans into my team...
Worst transfer ever... Ugh...Open ControlsDo you guys think that Evans & Michu > Jenks & Cazorla (-4) will be worth it?
I don't think Evans will play and I want Caz to cover the Reading game just in case Wally doesn't play...Open Controlsyes. assuming you don't want fab or giroud for the dgw as that move would max out your ars players
Open ControlsI don't mind missing out on those players... Jenks is more than enough def coverage...
Open Controls
yep, i think so. i was torn between Cuellar > Jenks or JE > Mert to fund Wally > Santi, but in the end i went with the latter one because i think it's the safest way to approach DGW33.
Open Controls
transfers done. first hit since GW26. not feeling good. oh well, Mert better score now or later in DGW33.
Open ControlsGaz Downright
Should we keep our transfer in the doubles game this week? The team is OK except for Wally and 2 freebies will be far more effective next week when we know more about the schedule, DGWs and so on.Open ControlsHello, DZ. What do you think about this for my 2 FTs:
Suarez and Davies -> Berbatov and Baines.
Yes or no?Open ControlsEvans-> Koscielny?
Yay or nay?Open Controlsnay. not nailed on.
Open Controls
Zep, I've picked my 4 for the draft too...hope TM245 is around.
By the way, I'd like to make an announcement to everyone...
if Chelsea win the replay I will be retiring from FPL with my triple digit rank intact. The rank 968 will be also retired in honour of my great season.
That's all folks, pray for a Man Utd win against Chelsea 😯Open Controls
