    I feel I have to get Hazard for this GW. My two main rivals have Mata and won't get Haz in.
    I feel like Haz(c) is my big chance.

      I'm starting to think this too. May mean an extra hit next week, but this really is a big chance!

        Exactly. I was planing to save ft and take one hit next week. This way, I will probably take an extra hit, but it's not worth having 10.9 midfielder on the bench for two weeks.

      I'm considering the same.

      Might do the transfer for free next week, then do Lamps or Haz to Fellaini for a hit next week. Otherwise would do Bale to Fellaini next week for free.

      Essentially Bale to Hazard will make me spend 4 extra points next week, and I believe Hazard will score more than 4 points this weekend, plus I might captain him, so will be worthwhile.

      Same situation, just got Hazard in now.

      Plan on benching one of them (or Rafa will do it for me) in GW33, then playing Theo/Santi/Fellaini + 1 of them and 3 strikers who will be all DGW'ers.

    Having to transfer out Bale for a non-DGW player, meaning I can only get 5 without hits, has made me think next week is the time to WC. How is this looking as a 1st draft?

    DDG
    Enrique/Mertesacker/Demel
    Cazorla/Walcott/Fellaini/Sissoko
    RVP/Rooney/Berbatov

    Bench: Al Habsi/Maloney/Dawson/Davies

    This gives me 9 GW33 DGWers, and also gives me 4 in anticipation of GW36. I can then do, say, RVP -> Suarez, Sissoko -> Michu, Cazorla -> Bale, and maybe take a hit somewhere (Walcott -> Hazard) for the next doubles.

    Seem good?

    I'm thinking of taking a gamble and (c) Mata. I mean he was taken off early last night, and Chelsea have a comfortable lead for the away fixture (which I'll guess he'll use Mata from the bench on Thursday). Di Canio has said he'll be attacking which might leave gaps, ergo a high-scoring game.

    Could be a good match. Thoughts?

      a lot of people here are starting Bunn over DDG, myself included. Worst case scenerio is that he doesn't play and DDG gets subbed on, but Bunn is 90% positive to play imo

      Yeah im pretty sure he is nailed on, Ruddy wont be back and Bunn is way better than the other keepers. Man city will score so id say bunn

      To be fair hes a keeper so if you play Bunn and he doesnt play then DDG will come in

    Those with Walcott, are you waiting for late injury news next week before the DGW to make a decision? If he isn't fit for Norwich but should be fine for Everton do you still look elsewhere?

      Same question here, not worth keeping if only plays one game in DGW. Gerrard tempts me a lot for this GW!

      Am in a similar boat ...holding both Walcott and Bale (and rafael , sturridge

      Cant afford not to be fielding a team this week so will also be doing to with either silva or hazard

      Favoring Hazard

      You have Mata so C. You might not play XI if you save with that defense and Walcott also out injured

        You’ve probably all heard of the Liverpool bib theory before ? Well yeah If it’s correct Sturridge isn’t starting again this week

        but now that I'm looking at the photos Sturridge is wearing the same coloured bib as Suarez...so who knows
