We delve into the data from the previous Gameweek this evening and analyse a number of impressive recent performers. Palace, Arsenal, Liverpool and United midfielders arrive on our radar and, with one eye already on double Gameweek 34, we also turn our attentions to a trio of in-form centre-halves. Elsewhere, the malaise of Tottenham’s main men is also investigated.
Should I go into this week with 9/10 players?
Team would be:
Myhill (Gilks)
Wollschied Clyne Bertrand
Hazard Silva Mane
Aguero Kane Remy*
*injury doubt
No Game: PVA, Coutinho, Sanchez Bellerin
Not sure who I can justify taking out right now.
Mane is off form but he is at least playing this week.
Remy doubt but could play.
Coutinho has a double next week but he is off form, take him out after DGW.
Bellerin Sanchez PVA all have DGW37.
I was gonna stick this week and bank the transfer then take out Mane and Kane next week then Coutinho and Remy after DGW.
I'd sell Bellerin if I were you. Probably for Huth/Schlupp. But not for a hit.
Not sure if he would play both games in GW37 anyway, and would prefer 3 Arsenal attackers.
Bellerin out for dGW
Plenty of time to prep for arsenal dGW after 34
Sanchez to Fab?
Fab has a game this week and double next.
^This. I did it.
I did that too...sensible move
Wildcarders, next week or week after in prep for the arsenal double?
DGW34
GW35 will start making the necessary transfers to gear up for GW37.
Will WC in GW34 to have at least one Arsenal attacker + PVA. That's the plan at least.
Luckily for us without a wildcard the spreading out of double game weeks served as well as with no wildcard I will be having 7or 8 double game week players for week 34 and 6 for week 37 with no hits!
yea with proper planning it's definitely doable. would have definitely preferred all the doubles to be in 34.
It would have been too confusing who to get and not enough spaces for players from lesser teams. And I wouldn't be punished by austin 🙁
which one?
A. Ospina Schmeichel Silva Hendo
B. Mignolet Myhill Fab Bolasie
A
Head says A but guts say B, Timbo. Boalsie against HUL is very temting, plus with A I might bench Hendo after GW34 since I'm also getting Rambo
Hendo has QPR in 35 which is nice plus I think it's better to have an attacking player for the double.
Indeed. Silva has QPR in 36 too, looks like A should be better.
But then I think I'll have a serious benching headache in GW35 - who would yo bench? 😆
Haz Sterling Silva Hendo Ramsey
Giroud Vardy Kun
all with good fixtures.
A
forgot to add that the last mid is fifth Mid (going with Rambo too). Still A?
😯 who are the front 3 then? 3-5-2 after GW34?
with A it'll be Kun Vardy Remy (to Giroud 35)
with B it'll be Kun Kane Vardy (to Giroud 35)
yep, looks like 3-5-2 then. But then Vardy has NWE in 35 😆 Vardy could be Defoe in DGW37. Might downgrade Hendo later on perhaps if i decide to revert back to 3-4-3.Hmm seems like you've thought this through based on replies to AT.
What's your transfer plan post GW35?Nah, I already have 2 proposed WC teams - just don;t feel like laying them out here yet 😉 .Plus so many things still consider - Remy being fit, Skrtel or Moreno + 0.6, and so on.
So far I only plan for GW35 (Giroud in for Vary or Remy).I will probably have Ospina and Rambo on my bench during DGW34. Maybe I'll ditch Schlupp (if i get him) in GW36 since I don't intend to keep him too long.if you can afford benching Schlupp rest of the season...i wouldn't waste a transfer on him.
Fair enough. I too am earmarking one Arsenal attacker on my wildcard - either Ramsey or Giroud depending on whether Remy is fit. Going with Davis in goal though - planning for 3 ARS attackers for 37.Nah i don't think I can do that. My other 2 Defs are PVA and Boyd 😆
Yeah agree with you and your plan. imo Rambo and Giroud are shoe in for DGW37; key is the 3rd ARS - another Mid (Ozil/alexis0 or a Def (Kos/Ospina). Davis is a qulaity pick still - I somehow feel wrong to ignore him with my proposed WC teams.Davis is nailed on to my WC team. Considered Mignolet, but would rather Skrtel as my defender for goal and baps potential.
Also, ML rivals all have at least one Southampton defender. So it's just part of my blocking tactic to get Davis + Clyne in defence.
Rambo and Giroud will both definitely be in my team by GW35. Form will decide whether Ozil or Sanchez is in mine by GW37...though if it's Sanchez, Aguero might have to leave my team in GW37 😯 but I do like Austin's fixtures for 37+38 as a replacement...
still too far ahead to plan though.I used to be burnt with that "blocking tactic". Lost a top 3k finish for doing that tactic. Just play your own game - that would be my advice.
I'd say no to ditching Kun. But yeah for the final 2 GWs, it's kinda lottery tbh. Depends on MCI fighting hard or not for UCL qualification imo.
Yep, there's Austin. And there's Defoe too. May i add Benteke as well? 😉 Many to ponder. Let's take it 1 GW at a time 😉
Thanks for your help man.Thanks for that tip - definitely keep that in mind.
Yea, Aguero out is still a long way from now. If my MLs are close, I probably won't make the switch. Depends on MCI's form and where they are in the league - you're right.
Looking at Giroud-Benteke-Kun on GW34 wildcard! But yea, 1 GW at a time. Easy to get excited by a late WC though...first time i've held it in so long...if you get my drift 😆
cheers, you too.
Time for kane to go imo. Vardy giroud kun have the fixtures and doubles. Defoe could replace vardy week 37 as you said
Agree with you. Shame I may need to bench Vardy vs NEW in 35
Another round in the cup against someone I've never heard of.
Suggestion: Can we have a competition that's only open to people that post on the site?
A. Phillips > Bollassi or
B. Hutton > SchluppA, Villas fixture turn a bit if Hutton is back
Bolasii great for a couple of weeks and QPR are awfulHa! Mixed them up
Oh, no i didnt. God im tired.
A is a great move and holding Hutton appeals more than holding Phillips. Nailed it.Haha I thought so 😀
Thanks, I'm leaning that way. My slight concern is that Bollassi will be benched most weeks and he is quite pricy to do that with. That said money doesn't seem to be much of a factor atm
If you're looking for a cheapy with a fix this week, you could always go for cambiasso at 4.7, with SWA and then a DGW.
After that he can be bench fodderHmm good point.. That was sort of my plan with schlupp
Though can't see cambiaso ever getting a big haul. Bollassi has form and fixturesHe won't get a big haul you're right. Not many sub 5mil players will.
Just checked his history and it's not as bad as a thought!
Better ppg than Schlupp anyhow.
Cheers. Food for thoughtI've got him BTW, but it was mainly to generate funds to bring Aguero in for Austin
I guess it comes down to who will score more over the next 2 weeks - him or bolassi? And if I will actually use the .8 saved
*Bolasie
B
Is Azpilicueta a good choice for the DGW?
Chelsea usually miss out on a cs when he doesn't play,so its a win-win..right?No
yep. But I'd prefer Ivan and/or Terry
I wouldn't say win-win. If he doesn't play, that is most certainly a big fat lose.
Ivanovic loves a DGW.
Just have a look at Henderson point when he has played with Gerrard for more than a couple of seconds lately.
In their last 7 matches together, Hendersons output is:
2,5,3,2,2,2,2
Food for thoughts I guess.Interesting indeed. I have no urge to bring in Hendo personally.
Gerrard really shouldn't get back in the team if Rodgers has any sense.
but he will
I'm just watching the Scoutcast from last night.
There is a fella called Ryan on as a guest, but I didn't catch them saying who he was.
Does anyone know why he was on? Former winner?
Thanksmod.
He's a mod, he's on here a lot (primarily DZ as he's in NZ).
Thank you all.
Best two for the Pool dgw?? Hendo and Sterling??
they are definitely the most popular picks
those two plus one of Migs/Skrtel/Moreno is the way to go
Hopefully Sturridge will be back in the mix too!! Though don't want 3 pool
Nah too risky for me
Those two will most probably be my two LFC mids. Then mignolet in goals. All for a -4
I'll have two FT too Nick so may consider a -4 for Mig too
Skrtel and Sterling
Ivanovic + Duff IN
Walker + Naughton OUT
8 points hit
Yay / Nay / Super nay 🙂
Play Rose or McAuley ?
Rose for attacking threat. 1-2 pointers all round though most likely.
Rose
Rose.
Still struggling to decide on my 2FT this week (WC next week so can punt)
Team is:
Krul , Myhill
Terry, Dawson, PVA, Toby, Bellerin
Haz, Sanchez, Eriksen, Mane, Boyd
Giroud, Aguero, Kane
£2.1 ITB.
Any suggestions? Will be two of Giroud, Sanchez & Bellerin that get taken out
ThanksWe used to have the same front 8 except your Sanchez to my Silva.
I did Giroud -> Murray. Come follow suit.seems a good option i must admit
Giroud to Murray
Sanchez to anyone you like
Dawson to an EVE defender
is vardy def nailed on for game time in his next 3 fixtures ?
Sorted for this week but trying to plan ahead in terms of how many hits I should be taking for the DGW.
Currently my team is:
Panti / Davies
Clyne / Azpi / Toby / Bellerin / Dawson
Ozil / Hazard / Silva / Eriksen / Boyd
Aguero / Kane / Remy
Got 4.2m ITB and will only have 1 FT. Bringing in Sterling for Eriksen seems a good idea. Also seems like a good idea to do Skrtel for Bellerin. So a -4 hit so far.
Should I be doing more?I'm surprised people are taking hits to field 3 liverpool players. I am going to get Sterling for free and really don't see the appeal of another one for a hit.
henderson. they have QPR in 35 too so it may be worth it. specially if you are replacing a mane
Thinking a defender for a -4 personally. Think that'll be worth it?
depends on who you are replacing, theyve got a decent shout at 2 cleanies.
Bellerin most likely. I do have Clyne/Toby/Azpi/Dawson otherwise though.
then maybe consider mignolet. thats what i have done. that backline is too expensive to be including skrtl as well
Correct, but kind of in the same situation there haha! I have Davies and Panti at the back.
Ugh, may just take no hit here.
Why are you surprised? They're playing well and all the hits are effectively 2 point hits. They also have a good game in 35.
which forward for the next 2 GWs
A. Murray
B. Vardy
C. Nugent
D. Lukaku
E. Someone elseAB Kun
Consider Remy if fitdont want remy, going with terry ivan haz as my chelsea 3
That's ny current CHE trio too. But personally I'm ditching JT for Fab/Remy. Good luck
I don't like an -8pt hit in one week. I've no WC and no Pool players, so I took a -4pt hit to get a Pool player in this week and will make another -4pt hit next week to get two more in. I have a reasonable team out this week.
I mentioned this earlier in the week and received negative replies.
Because it doesn't conform to the standard methodology of playing the game doesn't necessarily mean its a bad decision.
I'm hoping that thinking outside the box will pay off.fwiw Sherlock took a 12 pt hit GW27 (the first blank GW) and had a remarkable GW. It's about the players and the strategy. When you take hits it should be for mid/long term planning, though.
why take a hit for a player you're not playing?
2 FTs this week, can field exactly 11 already
A) Start Boyd, Sanchez > Hendo (yes hendo, will give me an extra dgw player next week for free)
B) Sanchez > Yaya for a 1 week punt, hendo in next week for -4A
A
I love Leighton Baines.
😎*Seamus Coleman
Hey Mr top 400 in the world...and still has a WC....
You getting in on some Everton action?don't make it so obvious 😛
Yep, currently tossing a coin for Baines/Coleman
Who to bench this week - Clyne or Mane?
Mane
Clyne
Mane
cheers you 3 - anyone else?
will murray (WBA HUL) outscore vardy (SWA bur CHE)
it so close. I think murray will. but its close
Don't think so
take off those DGW tinted glasses though...
Affirmative
if u got kane, u will be stuck with kane / murray for gw 35
i rather have kun giroud / vardy for gw 35Have Kun and Murray this week with Giroud on the bench?
and u would remove Murray in gw35 for Benteke?
every team is different so for me, i went for Vardy...so that i could bring in giroud free and early (gw35)
and stats wise, vardy vs murray...quite similar!
Actually, see what you mean. If you look at the 2 players over 33,34 and 35 Vardy looks better
Murray vs the Hull defence at the moment....
Compared with Vardy up against Chelsea at squeaky bum time...
Vardy v Burnley is ok
Gw35 he can go.
Anyone else just want to do their transfers eatly so their team looks all nice and set?
I have no need price wise to do moves now and should wait until press conferences but the urge is there...yeah....balloons and pigeons are all ready to be released to welcome Sir Leighton....
😕with cash floating about and maybe a wild card why not? good luck to you
I pulled the trigger Tuesday.....
Premature much hahaThat is early!
anyone know what pressers are today?
Everton & Arsenal are on now. Not sure about others.
C'mon Boydihnio
He's due a goal right?!?!INJURY UPDATE: Robert Snodgrass is progressing well during his rehab and is aiming to return to training at the start of next season
straight into my GW1 team.
Yeah should be dirt cheap. 5m perhaps?
I think FPL will still price him at 5.5m given set pieces. but anything less than that, and he would be a strong candidate for 5th mid.
If Hull are still here. Great news for Scotland
Exactly. IF Hull are still there. Not for Doosra mind you!
For this gameweek only. Do you prefer Lukaku or Nugent?
Nugent/Vardy. I don't really trust players who are straight back from injury.
Agree. Thanks!
Vardy
Anyone want to start a Gerrard wagon with me? Can't see him being on the bench in his final season.
No.
Gonna be a lonely wagon
Boydinho making an appearance this gameweek - it is his time to shine.
whenever we need him he never does
Krul (Panti)
Ivanovic, Clyne, Dawson (Hutton, van Anholt)
Hazard, Silva, Sanchez, Eriksen (James)
Aguero, Kane, Austin
2FT
A) Austin->Murray
B) Austin->Vardy
C) Hutton->Schlupp
A or B would probably be for 1-2 weeks then switch to Sturridge if fit for the DGW 34. C would give me a better option than Dawson GW 33 and DGW-defender for DGW 34. I'd then do Austin->Sturridge in DGW 34 if fit.
What to do with Siggy? Is it time to ditch now that Gomis has been ruled out?
