With the weekend deadline edging ever-nearer, we turn to the members section once again and delve into the data in order to investigate the attacking form on offer from the 10 double Gameweek teams.
2 questions:
1) Is Gerrard worth 3.4m more than Sterling and 2.9m more than Henderson?
2) Are Jelavic and Carroll legitimate alternative to Lukaku for that 3rd striker spot?Open Controls
1. Absolutely... Nailed on, takes all set-pieces and penalties. Sterling may give way to a holding midfielder (Lucas) against harder opposition.
2. Jelly is looking a decent punt.Open Controls
1) some say yes, I think sterling is a better option and then you can get baines/coleman or upgrade another mid
2) not sure... maybe. giroud punt could be quite nice tooOpen ControlsYeah, he's another one. So cheap and looking nailed on for FUL. Would you leave that 3rd slot open for Aguero when he comes back or start with 3 MCY on a WC?
Open Controls
1) controversial but i say no. Sterling is THE budget midfielder to own imo. he is pretty nailed on too and does not depend on set pieces for points
2) again.. i like lukaku. Somethin to play for atleast as compared to west ham and hull who are facin mid table obscurityOpen Controls
Post got stuck on bottom of last page, reposting.
Need some advice:
Mannone*
Coleman* | Ivan | Olsson
Gerrard* | Yaya* | Lallana | Hazard
Suarez*(c) | Sturridge* | Lukaku*
Bench: Boruc, Bruce, Ward, Noone, 0.8m in bank
I have already done 2 transfers, sitting at -4 now.
Counting the DGW players I have, only have 7 at the moment. Think that's a tad too little? Looking at two options here:
A. Bruce -> Chester (-8) and play 4-3-3 with Lallana benched
B. Lallana -> Nolan (-8) and play 3-4-3
C. Bruce -> Williamson/Bardsley (-8) but they don't have good fixtures after the double
D. Do nothing, team is good enough
I'm reluctant to get Chester because of the blank in GW34, but Nolan's fixtures don't look that great after the double either.
What should I do?Open Controls
RMT for the double (-4)?
Adrián
Coleman, Koscielny, Zabaleta
Yaya(vc), Gerrard, Nolan, Hazard
Sturridge, Lukaku, Suárez(c)
(Boruc, Noone, Azpi, Ward)Open Controls
Looks tasty.
Open ControlsVery good. Damn, that's probably better than mine and I'm Wildcarding!
Open Controls
Very good!
That teams similar to mine, and I'm also on a -4.
Adrian
Distin, Rosenior, Zabaleta
Yaya, Gerrard, Nolan, Hazard
Sturridge, Lukaku, Suarez
(Marshall, Noone, Azpilicueta, Olsson)Open Controls
Have 9 DGW'ers inc SAS
Is hazard out for Stevie G worth -4 hit?Open ControlsI'd say yes.
You could even bring Evra back in towards the end of the season, to give you these 11 fixtures for that slot;
SWA+new / ful / ARS / sun+CPL / MUN / * / NOR / SUN+HUL / sot.
*bring in Evra.Open Controlsno
Open ControlsClose, but I think so. The extra DGW and the MUN blank in GW34 being the clinchers.
Open Controls
Which of these 3 look best?
A) Baines, Williamson, Gerrard, Jelavic
B) Distin, Williamson, Gerrard, Lukaku
C) Baines, Koscielny, Sterling, Lukaku
Manonne, Adrian
Coleman, Terry, xxx, xxx, Chester
Yaya, Silva, xxx, Nolan, Ki
Suarez, Sturridge, xxxOpen Controls
new day new crowd. play Ki(nor liv) or Cahill (ARS)?
Open ControlsKi won't do anything at all.
Chelsea have a good chance of getting a cleanie.
Cahill.Open Controls
Hi everyone, hope you are all well. Here is my WC team, if anyone could give me any tips or advice on it I will be really grateful 🙂
Mannone (K. Davis)
Distin Zabaleta Chester (Ward, Shaw)
Yaya AJ Nolan Sterling (Hazard)
Suarez Lukaku SturridgeOpen ControlsI really don't like that midfield. It's ok for this week though...
But after this gameweek you'll have to bench players who cost a lot. I'd rather downgrade one to a cheapie, and get a premium midfielder in.
Even if that was your transfer plan, in my opinion it'll just be a waste of transfers.Open Controls
Gabbidon to Zabaleta -4 no brainer right?
Would allow me to get

A paltry 89.02. Strange cos my team seems set up nicely. No Sturridge though
Open ControlsAh I see it hadn't factored in my bringing Gerrard in. There's hope yet.

Ok, last question chaps - is it worth keeping cash back for a Hazard upgrade, or better to use those funds now and worry about getting Hazard back later?
If better to keep the cash, best way to raise an extra 0.6m (funds a Yaya -> Hazard move), or an extra 1.5m (funds a Gerrard/Silva -> Hazard move)?
CURRENT WC TEAM
Manonne, Adrian
Terry, Coleman, Distin, Williamson, Chester
Yaya, Silva, Gerrard, Nolan, Ki
Suarez, Sturridge, Lukaku
Bank 0.3mOpen ControlsNolan > Sterling/Sissoko?
Silva/Gerrard> HazOpen ControlsThis!
But Nolan > Sissoko + Silva > Hazard.Open ControlsDon't fancy Sissoko and would need to lose Gerrard to get Sterling.
Lukaku -> Jelavic/Dzeko, or
Distin -> Bruce/Dummett
Would both leave enough cash for Gerrard/Silva -> Haz next week. Thoughts?Open ControlsCould you not do Distin > a CPL defender.
Would set you up for their forthcoming DGW.Open ControlsDann would likely leave me 0.1m short of Gerrard/Silva -> Haz next week, and the 3.9m options don't look nailed on
Perhaps Adrian -> Gazzaniga (just play Manonne every week) and Distin -> Bardsley/Dann?
I'm quite tempted with Dzeko, although know it'll end in tears!Open Controls
Depends on when u want get in haz. Personally ur cash seems tight not sure how u going to raise the 1.5m out. But with 7 games to go i guess u shld downgrade ki to gnabry and have more cash itb since u will not be playing ki.
Open ControlsGood point - I think my best options are either:
A) Distin & Ki -> Dann & a 4.1m mid (bench every week), or
B) Lukaku -> Jelavic/Dzeko
Best one?Open ControlsI would pick A since dann has a dgw on gw34 and u can get away by playing chester williamson coleman this wk. Not a fan of dzeko as jov and kun back soon which may threaten his place even for the utd game imo. And his cheap price will mean that u will find it hard to replace.
Open Controls
Should I play:
A. Krul CRY(H), EVE(H)
B. Mannone NOR(A), LIV(A)Open Controls
Rvp to?
Open Controls
Seriously? Even if he's only out for a short while, he's unlikely to be fit for the dgw. Very much worth a -4 to replace with someone who will have two fixtures.
Rooney would be an option if you like the idea of United strikers.Open Controls
Somehow benching the likes of hazard n lallana for Sissoko and chester makes my team look so Weak on paper
Open ControlsWow, are all the RMDGWTs similar.
The biggest differentials are the points hits taken, and whether to play Hazard.
Captain choice could also provide a bit swing, but 90% will give it to Suarez unless they are seriously chasing.Open ControlsThat said, RMDGWT (-8):
Mannone
Koscielny Coleman Baines
Hazard Silva Mata Sissoko
Lukaku Suarez(c) Sturridge
Boruc Azpilicueta Noone WardOpen Controls
That's a good point, all very similar.
I don't like double Everton defence myself . Don't like lukaku either, frankly he's been rubbish I think. Dzko is my 3rd striker. Maybe jelavic.Open Controls
Lukaku played well not rubbish, was kept from scoring by an afternoon of top quality keeping by Marshall.
Open Controlsthis.. im happier i own him uptil gw 34 than i would be without
Open Controls
I haven't actually made the move for Baines yet, but I'm more and more sure that it is a good idea, even having Coleman, too. The fact that Everton have another double in gw34 (again with nice fixtures) is the clincher for me. Baines is still the most likely defender to get attacking returns, and over two games where there is also a decent chance of clean sheets, it is a worthwhile gamble.
I can't disagree about Lukaku. I brought him in last week and captained him. But looking past my disappointment, it is not worth taking him out for -4.Open Controls
All similar here, but not my rivals in my mini-league
Open Controls
I'm on wc and have
Adrian (mannone)
Kos kola Coleman (Ivan, Delaney )
Yaya sterling Nolan ki (haz)
Dzko Suarez sturridge
Tempted to drop sterling for maybe Livermore and play Flanagan (and drop Delaney)Open ControlsLooks nice. Personally not keen on Nolan. Sterling is good at his price, I suppose.
Have you considered not including Ivanovic and upgrading one of your midfielders to Gerrard, Silva, or even Mata might be a decent punt with RvP on the sidelines.
Kolarov has to be seen as a punt. Game time is very uncertain, but could pay off.Open Controls
WC advice needed - which of these 3 options is best?
A) Mannone, Zab, Coleman, Baines, Silva, Sterling, Yaya, Nolan, Lukaku, Sturridge, Suarez
(difference Zab, Sterling, Nolan, Lukaku)
B) Mannone, Bardsy, Coleman, Baines, Silva, Gerrard, Yaya, Johnson, Lukaku, Sturridge, Suarez
(difference Bardsley, Gerrard, Johnson, Lukaku)
C)A) Mannone, Distin, Coleman, Baines, Silva, Nolan, Yaya, Gerrard, Dzeko, Sturridge, Suarez (difference Distin, Gerrard, Nolan, Dzeko)Open ControlsI like the look of C, apart from the triple Everton defence. Distin to Debuchy or Collins could work, or Zabaleta if you can afford him.
Open Controls
Who would you say is most important to have if WCing this week?
Baines or Nolan?
RMT tool has Baines as the big winner.Open Controls
RMT loves Baines. You'll want to sell Nolan soon whereas Baines would stay.
Open ControlsYeah, that's the big issue with Nolan - decent double but tough games afterwards.
Best of these 2 fillers?
A) Adrian, Dann & Nolan
B) Gazzaniga, Baines & Ki
C) Gazzaniga, Distin & AJ
Manonne, xxx
Coleman, Terry, xxx, Williamson, Chester
Yaya, Silva, Gerrard*, xxx, Gnabry**
Suarez, Sturridge, Lukaku
* leaving enough in the bank for a switch to Hazard next weekOpen ControlsWill you play 4 at the back? Chester and Williamson have decent fixtures.
There could be an argument for doing B, and benching Ki to play 4 at the back.Open ControlsC out of those.
Open Controlswhat about adrian, baines, nolan/AJ, sterling and ki (replacing gerrard and gnabry)?
Open ControlsThat works, although it makes getting Hazard tricky (Gerrard -> Hazard was always the plan).
Open Controlshmmm. how much cash does that leave you?
also would appreciate if you'd respond again further up the page. thanks for your initial reply!Open ControlsOnly 1.3m - would leave Yaya -> Hazard as the only way of getting Hazard really.
Re your Evra -> Baines and the WC. I think it possibly adds further argument to doing it this week for a hit. then WC in GW35 removing the EVE boys and loading up on GW37 doublers plus ARS.Open Controlsoh... that's unfortunate. could take a gamble and go without haz? risky but if it works, it'd pay off very well.
I think C is probably the best option then.
hmmm, could work. you think gw 35 is the best week to WC over gw 34 or 37? if aguero returns for gw 34 I might be tempted to WC for that... especially since yaya is my only city right nowOpen Controls
I'd say Baines personally. See rationale above.
Nolan is very hot & cold. Baines' returns seem more certain.Open Controls
Does anyone know why Collins didn't play against Stoke?
Will he start the DGW fixtures?Open ControlsDropped & anyones guess.
Open Controls
Given the likelihood that RVP will now be crocked for weeks, who are the best replacements?
Sturridge? Rooney? Aguero? Another?Open ControlsSturridge or at a push Rooney, I see Aguero being the same injury nightmare.
Open Controls
So most would have a bit similar teams eh...
A bit different defenders for some and same front seven at most.
Could be a no boost up for rankings for this GW then.Open Controls
Evening/Morning gents!
Any further news on Aguero? If he's out of Fulham game, how does this look for 8 pointer?
Gabbidon, Lallana, Aguero -> Baines, Gerrard, CarrollOpen Controls
The third striker is proving a headache, Dzeko, Caroll or Jelavic. Most going template SLS but would prefer someone a bit different
Open Controls
Best option?
A) RVP -> Suarez
B) Dawson -> Zab
C) Boruc -> MannoneOpen Controls
A
Open Controls
Team
Yo Adrian!
Baines, Coleman, Kosh, Bardsley
Yaya, Mata, AJ

Questions
1. Playing Bardsley and benching Haz, madness?
2. Rvp injury good for Mata? Or Mata -> Gerrard (-4)
Thanks!Open Controls
Who will score for the DGW : bardsley or chester?
