Scouting the Doubles – Gameweek 34 – Hull City

In light of Leicester’s miraculous revival and a run of six matches without a win, Hull City now only sit outside the relegation berths on goal difference alone. With Arsenal, Spurs and United in the final four Gameweeks, the Tigers will be desperate to capitalise on their match in hand when they travel to Crystal Palace and host Liverpool in Gameweek 34.

The Prospects

In a Gameweek that also includes two fixtures for Chelsea, Liverpool and the buoyant Foxes, it’s difficult to make a case for Steve Bruce’s out-of-form side. Allied to the fact they’ve netted just four goals in their last six outings, the Yorkshire club face three of the league’s top six sides after the double – necessitating an exit route for any potential acquisitions. With free transfers at a premium leading up to a double Gameweek 37 for Arsenal and Sunderland, few Fantasy managers will want to shoulder that burden.

Hull’s first head-to-head of Gameweek 34 sees them pay visit to a Crystal Palace team that succumbed to a shock 2-0 defeat at Selhurst Park last Saturday. The Eagles were grounded following a four-match winning streak in which they netted 11 goals and recorded an historic victory over Manchester City. With six goals in seven appearances, Palace frontman Glenn Murray is the form forward leading up this encounter. Meanwhile, among the league’s midfield roster, only Alexis Sanchez (12) and David Silva (15) have attempted more shots inside the box than hat-trick hero Yannick Bolasie (11) in the last six Gameweeks. On the flip side, City’s goalscorers will draw encouragement from the fact that Palace have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine league matches.

The Tigers welcome the Reds to the KC Stadium in the second of their double match-ups, knowing only Chelsea have bested them in their last four home ties. Liverpool have registered clean sheets in four of their last seven fixtures but revealed a defensive vulnerability in their 4-1 defeat to Arsenal that Bruce will be keen to exploit. Hull could also be boosted by the absence of Daniel Sturridge, given that the English frontman was ruled out of Liverpool’s FA Cup semi-final and will be short of fitness even if he features in their trip to West Bromwich Albion.

Hull have notched just two shut-outs in the previous 12 Gameweeks, rendering their rearguard a near write-off from a Fantasy perspective. The promise of bonus save points would have made goalkeeper Allan McGregor (4.8) a budget option for the double, yet he no longer boasts security of starts after being dropped for Steve Harper last weekend.

The Likely Lads

Dame N’Doye (5.5) piqued the interest of Fantasy managers upon his switch to Hull in the January transfer window, netting in his first three starts. Despite failing to score in his subsequent appearances, only three forwards have attempted more shots than the Senegalese striker (14) in their last four matches  although only four were from inside the box.

Ahmed Elmohamady leads the Tigers’ scoring charts this season with 92 points, highlighting the dearth of attacking flair in their squad. The 4.9-priced midfielder scored against Chelsea in Gameweek 30 and has mustered more shots inside the box (three) than any other Hull midfielder in the previous four matches, whilst his ten key passes over that period has been bettered by only four other midfield options in the top-flight.

The Cheeky Punt

Given their form, it’s arguable that any Hull option is no more than a punt but, as we’ve seen in recent double Gameweeks, it’s folly to write off struggling sides.

With Gaston Ramirez struggling due to a hamstring problem, Jake Livermore‘s (5.1) could be worth considering. The former Spurs man has fired eight attempts on goal in the last four matches, more than any midfield team-mate.

If Bruce’s glowing praise regarding Mohamed Diame’s return to the side is anything to go by, the English head coach will be desperate to reinstate the Senegalese midfielder back into the starting line-up following two brief run-outs in recent weeks. Despite only clocking 934 minutes of pitch time this campaign, Diame is Hull’s second-top scorer, having notched four goals in his first six starts for the club.

For those managers operating on a shoe-string budget in the upcoming double, Irish defender Paul McShane could prove a decent enabler. With uncertainty over the Hull keeper situation, the former Sunderland man – who netted in Hull’s recent trip to Swansea City- sets you back just 3.9. The Tigers defensive record suggests this may be a punt too far for most, though.

Abel Hernandez (6.6) represents a risky outside bet. The Uruguayan striker was dropped for Hull’s visit to Southampton but came up trumps in the Chelsea clash two weeks before, scoring for the first time since Gameweek 8. Bruce needs goals, though, and with Nikica Jelavic still injured, Hernandez could return to the XI alongside N’Doye.

        Ramsey.

        1. Waterboyd
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Playing a 3-4-3, bench Ramsey this week?

          1. Pariße
            • 9 Years

            Yep

      2. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Don't let the money trick you, sometimes the cheaper options are much better. I'd consider more Arsenal players for the DGW.

  2. BIG TONES

    Bench Punch or Alexis?

    1. HurriKane

    I think a Hull striker could be one of the big surprises of the DGW. Leicester have a dogfight then Chelsea - Hull are up against two sides with little to play for who can be leaky.

    N'Doye seems obvious, but Hernandez seems like exactly the sort of player to explode once a season...

    1. Major Obvious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      surprisingly bad you mean

    2. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You think Liverpool have little to play for? 7 points off 4th with a game in hand.

  4. Miro
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Would you get :

    A) Ivanovic Skrtel for -8 and play Kane

    B) Terry Moreno Henderson(as fifth mid) for -12 and bench Kane

    Already got 5 other dgwers.

    1. gers23
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

  5. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Feck it I'm getting all all. Sterling Hendo and Coutinho

    There will be no regrets if either one gets a haul or blanks.

    1. Major Obvious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      you will regret if they all blank

    2. DF
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It's also like having a free defender if they get a cs.

      1. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Except a Pool CS means 3 points, while most will have a Pool def+two mids instead = 6 points...

  6. Gooner Kebab
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Any news on Toby?

    Currently on KDavis, Bertie and Clyne - looking to free up funds.

    1. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Am thinking of ditching Clyne and keeping Toby to raise funds. So would enjoy having him in

      1. Gooner Kebab
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        same here

  7. HammersXI
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How does this look? Starting to run out of Ideas

    Schmeichel (Ospina)
    Skrtel Terry Alder (Stones Pva)
    Sterling Coutinho Alexis Hazard (Phillips)
    Giroud Vardy Aguero

    0.5m ITB

    Should I go for Hendo instead and keep Clyne?

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years

      template DGW WC team

      1. HammersXI
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Even with Stones? and no Kane?

        1. Gooner Kebab
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          If not, I do like the team. I'd get someone DGW for Alexis and get him back next week.

          1. HammersXI
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Fabregas? I would lose quite a bit of Money on him tho..

            1. Gooner Kebab
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Fab got no one to pass it to (reduces his appeal)

              1. HammersXI
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Yeah that's true, and I don't see Chelsea keeping it tight at the back. Both Lei and Arsenal would have a go at them the entire game.

    2. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd stick with what you've got and maybe consider Huth in for Alderweireld/Stones.

      1. HammersXI
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I prefer not to double up on my Lei defenders though, if I get Huth, I would then make Davis my gk along with Ospina and keep maybe 1 of Clyne / Alderweireld.

        1. Beavis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I think the double up is worth it for this week considering you will just play Ospina every week afterwards as well as Terry Skrtel + 1 of the others (probably Stones/Alder).

          1. HammersXI
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I have PVA who would be my budget defender tho. Having Huth would mean that I have to get rid of either Stones / Alder .... Have to wait on Alder's injury update though, could go the riskier option of Yoshida.

            1. Beavis
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              You're only going to be playing 1 of Stones and Alder though with the other 2 heavyweights so better to take a Leicester punt or go cheap imo.

              1. HammersXI
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Yeah i got what you meant now. How does this look now, made several changes.

                Schmeichel (K.Davis)
                Terry Skrtel Schlupp (Clyne Pva)
                Hazard Alexis Sterling Henderson / Coutinho (Phillips)
                Giroud Kun Vardy

                I've enough to do Henderson -> Coutinho now if I want, and I'll be able to get double LEI and SOU

                1. Beavis
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 12 Years
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  Looks good!

    3. PGR
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Only 2 Chelsea? I'd triple if I were you.

      1. HammersXI
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        The only way I could afford a triple chelsea is if I downgrade my strikers or defenders. And I'm not too keen on either. The prospect of Giroud / Alexis DGW seems much better than Fabregas / Ivanovic.

  8. PlayPercentage
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    The DGW teams have three games in a week: Sat-Weds-Sat.
    I can't help feeling that some players will be rested, rotated or be subbed.
    Leicester in particular is rotation central.

    Players such as Cambiasso, Terry and Stevie G may only play the Sat-Sat games.

    1. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Same worries as every DGW. Doubt think Terry will be rested though, more likely Cahill/Azpi

      1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I think Azpilicueta ought to be safe. He's their best defender.

  9. Beavis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Money is gonna get incredibly tight for the Arsenal DGW so it's so hard to suck up all these price changes until Friday.

    1. Doolittle
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Aye, worst week to have 4 injury doubts in my team.

  10. PGR
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    35 points behind in my ML. Should I be going for a different captain than Hazard?

    1. Major Obvious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      boyd

  11. Pariße
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I had a dream Hazard scored a hattrick in the DGW, only to wake up (still in my dreams) and realize it was Chelsea's 4th striker who did it.

    ...therefore Solanke (C)

    1. Major Obvious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      funny that, I had a dream Solanke got sent off

      1. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        hahaha back to Haz (C) then

  12. jimbobmij
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Silva to Coutinho for a -4? Or wait for news?

    1. Major Obvious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      neither

    2. AleksanderVN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I did that move yesterday. No regrets..
      Silva could get some rest because of the injury, and Aguero are enough cover.

      Coutinho could be Ramsey later on, and you wount be missing Silva.

      1. Snapes on a Plane
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        with nasri injured now , silva has to play the villa game

        1. AleksanderVN
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Ok, the point is not Silva.
          Its the other DGW options available.

  13. AleksanderVN
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What team are you expecting to be most motivated for that 5th spot in the Premier League.

    My guess are Southampton.

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      The best thing Southampton can do is finish 7th and miss out on EL next season. Their squad is being tested this season, they definitely don't need EL as well to worry about.

      1. AleksanderVN
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        They haven't been there for a while, surely the player/staff want EL experience next season?

        1. Beavis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I'm sure they'll play for it and want to qualify for it. I just think it'll do more bad than good over the course of next season.

          1. AleksanderVN
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I agree with this.

            Just tries to figure out which team to keep a defender from. Soton or Spurs.
            Surely Soton are the best, if they can keep it up.

      2. Geordienufc1
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        This. Though that won't necessarily be reflected in their efforts - the players will want European competition. It may also open up some doors and act as an incentive that can be offered to prospective signings.

  14. Kings of Lyon ★
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Getting Ospina limits the Ars attack for GW37. I think id rather have Ozil Sanchez and Giroud over Ospina and two attackers.

    1. LewanGOALski
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'll probably go Sanchez + Ramsey + Giroud

      1. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        That is also an option

    2. PGR
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I was thinking the same. Think I'll be going with Pantilimon and Schmeichel as my keeper combo

    3. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      With you on this. Good defensive alternatives to be found elsewhere. Panti as GK for GW37

    4. Geordienufc1
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm currently looking at a simple Ospina - Ramsey - Giroud as my 3 ARS for DGW 37.

      I think Arsenal are a good bet for CS v Hull in 35, Swansea in 36, Sunderland in 37 and indeed WBA in 38 so I think there are still good points to be gained from Arsenal's defense over the space of a number of GWs.

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        they'll get defensice returns for sure. But Arsenal have a number of midfielders capable of double returns in any given GW, and as these hauls will be dsitributed for their midfieldlers, it makes sense to double up on midfield.

  15. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    may be forced to go with Henderson over Coutinho in order not to face troubles in bringing Arsenal players in later on :/

    1. Major Obvious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      reported

    2. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd be able to get arsenal players easily even if i get coutinhio

      If cash is no problem is coutinho a better pick then hendo ?

      1. LewanGOALski
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I prefer him to Hendo tbf. Especially with Lucas injured and Gerrard back into the starting line-up.

  16. skodaole2
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Get Schlupp or Morgan?? I will need one of them to downgrade Rose and have enough funds. Rival is 15 points ahead and has Schlupp. Shlupp is playing OOP, Morgan has a goal and an assist in last 4 though and is 0.1 cheaper. Thoughts?

    1. Major Obvious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      get the better one

    2. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Huth. 🙂

      1. skodaole2
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I would get Huth, but not enough funds for my 2nd move, need one of the 2

        1. Beavis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Morgan then imo as Burnley aren't very good at defending set pieces/headers.

      2. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        +42

    3. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Schlupp

    4. Doolittle
      • 11 Years

      I'd probably get Huth.

        From those 2, Morgan.

    5. Mull
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Neither. Forget about Leicester defenders.

      Cheers guys, since its a close call I ll go for Morgan since this 0.1 may be useful later.

    Which of these look best?

    A) Erikson to Silva for a -4

    B) Bertrand and Erikson to Cahill and Sterling for -8

    C) Siggy and Erikson to Henderson and Sterling for a -8

    Have Terry Hazard Mignolet and....Bruce

      c

    3. gers23
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      First should be Sterling Doh

    4. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Eriksen > Sterling

  18. Lucy.
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Currently looking at this after -4:

    Fabianski
    Terry Moreno Clyne
    Sterling Fabregas Hazard Silva
    Vardy Aguero Kane

    Is Puncheon -> Hendo worth a further -4?
    Or any other move for that matter?

    Cheers!

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      In isolation, I'd do Punch > Hendo -4 but in your case you'll have to bench Kane so I'm not so sure.

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Or bench Kane vs Saints?

        1. Lucy.
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Sorry, I mean Silva. 😛

          1. Beavis
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Get rid of Silva if he's out otherwise you have to play him.

    2. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeap think so

    3. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Problem is, do you give yourself a benching headache by bringing Henderson in for Punch?

      I'm considering Silva > Hendo this week, plus he has QPR next week. Rumours are he is signing a new contract this week, should be on a high.

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Silva could hurt us though...

        1. Daniel Exeter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I'm looking at it as:

          Silva vs Villa and Spurs
          vs
          Henderson vs WBA, Hull, QPR

          On paper, Henderson wins it for me.

      2. Mull
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        You may want to edit your name a bit more. I keep confusing you with the other Daniel which I'm sure is not what you want 🙂

    4. Puyol Pants Up
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yup, change to a 3-5-2 formation and bench Vardy every week 😉

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Well like 1 week before the Arsenal panic sets in 😉

  20. Waterboyd
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What are you strikers for this week?

    Also, Remy or Kane? Remy not nailed on and not able to go for Studge. Have Vardy+Aggy already.

    1. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Remy gets this DGW chance from me, then he's gone, for Giroud.

  21. Puyol Pants Up
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Asked this Yesterday 😛

    Who do I play this week?

    A) Alderweirald (TOT)
    B) McShane (cry, LIV)

    1. Coot
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A, if fit.

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        But do you see a Southampton CS? I'm struggling too.

        1. Coot
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I think there is more chance of a CS than Hull. I also think that Hull could concede 2+ in both games.

        2. Nickofoz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

          Never know with Spurs. I wouldn't be surprised tbh

  22. FortunesAlwaysHiding
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    How long is Nasri out for? Unlikely to start against Villa?

  23. Gooner Kebab
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    As it is, WC team:

    Kasper (Ospina)
    Bertie, Terry, Ivan (PvA, Alder*)
    Sterling, Hendo, Haz, Silva*, AndyKing (benchfodder after DGW)
    Kane, Kun, Vardy

    Vardy to Giroud next week.

    * not sure what to do

  24. The Gambler.
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Good to go??????????

    Schmeichel
    Ivanovic - Skrtel - Schlupp
    Sterling - Hendo - Hazard (c) - Silva - Fabregas
    Aguero - Vardy

    Bench: Davis - Kane - Toby - PVA

    1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. Standard.

  25. 1zverGGademN
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What you think about these picks for the DGW?

    -------------------Adrian (Pants)
    ---------Schlupp Dann Moreno (Clyne,Pieters)
    Sterling(vc) Coutinho Fabs Cambiasso Hazard(c)
    -----------------Kun----------Remy (Kane)

    8 Dgw players, is that good enough? 🙂

    1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Horrible defense IMO.

      1. 1zverGGademN
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sadly there is no other options and really don't like CHE def atm because of their fix + the fact they are 99% champs so I can see them rotate def line til the end so clean sheets could not been so consistant. I'm planning to bring Zouma for Moreno just before CHEvsLIV game and ditch Fabs for Caz for Arsenal DGW with Kane>Giroud so this is my optimal squad atm.. Any suggestions with 2.8 itb and already -4pts hit?

        1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Keep it as it is then for this week. An Arsenal defender I reckon.

          1. 1zverGGademN
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers! 🙂

      Yes!

        lol @ Crush' team 😀 You are crazy, mate 😀

    What are people's thoughts on DGW players from poor teams (eg Vardy, Elmo) v single game week bug hitters (sanchez, silva). On a wildcard so can do whatever - the temptation is to max the DGW players but it feels like a big risk.

    1. Waterboyd
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Aye, that is why you prepare with more DGW players to cover it up.

    2. Mull
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I don't mind Leicester players because they have decent fixtures after the double. Hull on the other hand have a very average DGW, they're not very good and their fixtures after are dreadful so I'm completely avoiding them.

    3. Coot
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I have 3 x CHE and 3 x LIV. Also have Albrighton and Bruce but they are bench fodder and I'll not be playing them this week. I think my big hitters have more potential to score big than any Hull/Leicester players.

  27. Waterboyd
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Alright, here's what I got right now, thanks guys.

    Schmeichel (Ospina)
    Skrtel Terry Schlupp (PvA, Aldy)
    Hazard Sterling Silva Henderson (Ramsey)
    Vardy Aguero Remy

    0.9m left. Probably 3-5-2 for the rest of the season.

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not a fan of double Leicester defence.

      1. Waterboyd
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Other than that G2G?

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah

  28. Donkey_Sanctuary

    Thoughts on Remy to Vardy for -4 this week? Thinking of doing this as a rival who I am ahead of in a mini league has Vardy so would guard against a big score from him. But taking this out of it do folk think that Vardy will outscore Remy by > 4?

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on Remy news, can't really understand this yet I'm afraid.

      1. Waterboyd
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He's gotta play at least one game, Drogba would be a pretty decent punt this week though.

    2. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not even sure if Remy will play.

  29. gers23
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone worried that the players we're all ditching could score big this week? Siggy or Erikson perhaps

    1. Lucy.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Eriksen playing against Schneiderlin? Nope.

    2. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, Mane. He looked very good against Stoke. I have to get rid though

    3. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Im worried about ditching Boyd

    4. Doolittle
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Silva has the potential to, not 100% ditching though.

  30. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    anyone gone moreno skrtel sterling ( or 2 x pool at the back )

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah I'll end up with Mignolet and Moreno most probably.

    2. Doolittle
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I may do, undecided, have Mignolet and may get Moreno or Skrtel.
