Our regular post-Gameweek delve into the members data examines Leicester’s strike duo and chief creator, Robin van Persie’s toils up top for United, Alexis Sanchez’ goal threat and the contrasting form of the leading candidates in the race for the Golden Boot.
A for me
Ta
B much rather have Giroud than Kos
Me too, plus it gives me an extra Sunderland player. I like the thoughts of Benteke though...
This B for me too
Probably A, although I think getting 3 Arsenal attackers will be more profitable than a defender.
Yeah I think so too. The draw of Benteke is strong.
Rival has Aguero, Kane and Giroud and I have Vardy instead currently. As I'm leading I think I will probably block with Giroud
Good move imo, a little chess never hurt anyone.
A
A imo
Thanks (@Tommy too). A would be even more beneficial to me if I didn't have to make the decision this week so I could see Giroud again. Wasn't all that impressed in the last match
Really think Welbs will get a start
That is playing on my mind a little but if rivals are in same boat I'm not as bothered about it.
A) Coutinho > Ozil/Cazorla/Ramsey for a hit this week
B) Sell Coutinho next week (as part of a hit) and play Grealish/Albrighton this week
Basically it comes down to taking the hit this week or next. Leaning towards A currently as the Arsenal mid has more upside this week than the cheap mid. Only problem is it means I have to commit to one of them now instead of having the flexibility to decide next week. What say you?Probably save, who knows Chelsea might be drunk
I think playing Grealish or Albrighton won't be such a bad solution tbh. I would wait and monitor the Arsenal MF this week before making a decision (I'm stuck with Sanchez so I can't do anything now)
I'm playing Sterling and praying for a miracle :p
I'll do A with Ramsey if I were uThis is basically my annoyance at the moment - hits needed either way but don't really want to bring in any mid but Sanchez this week.
I think I'd probably go A if it was me but wait until press conference just in case there's any further Ramsey newsA
Difficult one - I'd say pros and cons of each choice pretty equal. Think B actually edges it - though I'm doing similar to A myself - for a hit 😉 . Assuming you won't be caught out by price changes.
A for me.
Thanks all. Had a feeling A would be the most popular.
But who will you choose? 😉
That's the big question isn't it!
A
If you were going to play Grealish in one of the last three fixtures, at home to West Ham would seem like the best one
Repost
Ospina
Terry Skrtl McShane
Haz Sterling Sanchez Silva
Kane Kun(c) Tekkers(vc)
Schmeichel Boyd Schlupp PVA
2FTs done: Fab, Vardy --> Sanchez, Tekkers.
Shame I had to keep Sterling.
Bench in order?
GTG?Shame you have Ospina, could have got Rambo for a hit
I still can! Only have 2 Ars players.
0.2 off Sterling to Rambo 🙁
Next week, probably Silva to Rambo or Sterling to Rambo and downgrade Skrtel.Oh yeah, that's unlucky
I'd play Schlupp over Skrtel
Sanchez to go up 0.1 or 0.2 before Sat deadline?
A lot depends on whether he goes up tonightDon't think he's moving that fast. Fully expect him to go up 0.1m before Saturday with everyone doing their transfers tomorrow though. Don't see 0.2m
Good good may have to transfer him in though before he plays
I thought my season was going well but the stats here doesn't seem to tell me so. The amount of points I lost from unused subs.. IF only... Though it has to be said that I've spent the least points on transfer this season than any other

haha if u want the least amount of unused sub points u can get the likes of yun and some random non-playing GK 🙂
Have Cazorla & Ozil. Want to triple up on Arsenal MF. For GW 37,
Silva (swa) ➡ Sanchez (C)?
or
Henderson (CPL) ➡ Ramsey (C)?Toss a coin but personally I'd feel safer having Sanchez.
Also depends on your mini league opponentsMLs all wrapped up! Playing for top 1k which I missed by 3 Points last season! Just outside 2k atm.
What news injury wise is there on Ramsey though?
That's a concern for sure.
Yeah. The guy probably falls down the stairs going to breakfast in the morning!

Kane + Ivan -> Benteke + PvA done to beat the price changes.
Now, need to decide between:
A) Sterling -> Ramsey -4pts
B) Sterling -> Cazorla - 4pts
C) Hazard -> Sanchez -4pts
D) hold
Your thoughts much appreciated!A
Thanks, that's what I'm leaning towards at the moment - awaiting further news on injury
A) Giroud + Sanchez (c) + Kosc
B) Giroud (c) + Oz + Rambo
These are the two combinations I can afford by GW37 without any hit at all.
Which one should I go for you ?
Would like to mention, both ML rivals have Sanchez (24 and 43 Points behind atm).B then surely
A. sanchez(c) makes the difference
Sanchez is the best captaincy option but in your case you need to do something different
Ozil C don't think Giroud will play bothWithout injury I would have Sanchez Rambo and Kosi.
mid for 6.8? cant be arsenal silva or hazard
Chadli?
was considering him. along with fellaini, mane
also lennon, gomez
Delph
Cleverly
Gardener
Cleverly 😆
What's so funny?
Jonjo Shelvy / McCarthy / Downing / Charlie Adam
Everyone in Australia: I'm on Hot Seat tomorrow afternoon at 5.30!
Really? Congrats!
and Good luck! What is your name in case I remember to watch it?
It's pre-recorded isn't it? Tell us if you won 😉
There's a player called Honeyman in Sunderland squad. Training session must be buzzing with him around.
Oh beehive.
nice
😀
The same question as everybody else, with a twist;
A) Sanchez + Ramsey this week for -4 (exact money)
B) Sanchez this week, Cazorla next week for freeB
Depends on who you are selling
Does it? Selling Hazard & Sterling
Lol, of course it does. I wouldn't be sellinh Hazard at all, especially for a hit.
B if you mustCheers. I don't want to sell Eden either, but I think Sanchez will outscore him until season end, and that's the only route
B
Thanks all - was leaning towards the 'lil Spaniard - that's decided it
Cresswell, Kolarov or Vlaar for the last 3 games?
Vlaar
If Villa win next 2 are they safe? Could mean rest for Benteke in GW 38.
Maybe.
But their whole game plan is run up the field and pass the ball to Benteke. Not sure what the plan is without him except to just run around the field.If they're safe they won't need a plan 🙂
Will depend what the others do. 5 or so teams split by only 2 points.
Could always downgrade Benteke in GW38 but then you're bringing him with Southampton (a) next week
Hi guys, 21pts clear in ML, would love some advice... Which do you prefer for Vardy:
A. Giroud (rival has)
B. Beneteke
Would keep for the DGW. Given rival has Giroud, surely covering off is best?
Migs (Panti)
PVA Terry Schlupp (Cameron, Duff)
Hazard Ramsey Sanchez Sterling (albrighton)
Vardy Aguero Kane
Cheers all for any inputCover him
B, and try for a 3rd ARS mid
Jose would definitely recommend it. Get Giroud.
Thanks guys. Think the extra game for Giroud, and to avoid the stress of the differential, I will go for him.
How would you lose 0,4 out of this team?
Schmeichel Myhill
Ivanovic Terry Skrtel van Aanholt McShane
Sanchez Özil Hazard Henderson Cambiasso
Agüero Giroud Vardy
i.e. who to slightly downgrade?Downgrade Skrtel IMO
Skrtel
Cambiasso to Albrighton
Great shout. This.
This
Get rid of Terry for Koscielny, imo
Terry to Schlupp or Morgan...
Already done Sterling > Cazorla for free this week...
Shall I do Hazard > Sanchez for a - 4 or wait till next week and just hope he doesn't go up 0.2 in price by then?Can't get Alexis without selling Eden?
No unfortunately. I think alexis is a must for DGW as well!
no one is a must unfortunately.
Hold. Jose might give license to attack more now that title has been wrapped up. And it's Liverpool!
tbh i would expect chelsea to play a defensive approach again. its just chelsea's style not to lose these games
Good morning everyone, need some help... The Hazard photo is confusing...
Pantilimon (Krul)
Zabaleta, Ivanovic, Bellerin (Morgan, PvA)
Coutinho, Henderson, Fabregas, Hazard (Boyd)
Aguero, Vardy, Benteke
1 FT, 3.4 in Bank
A) Coutinho -> Sanchez
B) Henderson -> Ramsey
C) Henderson + Hazard -> Ramsey + Sanchez (-4)
D) Fabregas + Henderson -> Ramsey + Ozil (-4)A
C for me
Modified C?
Henderson to Ramsey this week (as he plays in Wales)
Hazard to Sanchez next week (unless he's not coming back from holiday... but pretty sure he is)C
Leaned towards C, I ll wait for Ramsey and Hazard's news, but it will probably be my move for this GW. Cheers everyone
Cazorla over Ramsey? Looking at stats I think it's the way to go plus Cazorla is more likely to play the full 180 minutes in the DGW
Maybe. I might.
No you won't.
Why do you say that? I am leaning that way.
Just like that 😉 😛
But don't you think the order of preference should be:
1) Sanchez
2) Ramsey / Ozil
3) Cazorla?No. Got Sanchez and Ospina.
So it is Cazorla or Ramsey. 🙂ooh cool! Caz could be a good differential 🙂
Leaning towards Ramsey atm due to form - but agree minutes is a concern and Caz could very well be the one in the points for the DGW, especially if they get a penalty.
Didn't even notice I've lost top spot in my ML, rival scored 82. At least it's not a cash ML. 😛
Haha I feel ya. Haven't checked my ML in ages
Is it so crazy to save my FT (and not get Silva in for Sterling) to have 2FTs to adapt to the DGW???
Ospina (Harper)
Ivanovic Huth Vlaar (PVA, Skrtel)
Sanchez Hazard Henderson Cambiasso (Sterling)
(c) Benteke Giroud N'Doye
who would you bring in?
a) if I used FT this week, Silva for Sterling... or a huge punt on De Jong
b) if I save FT, allows me to have 2FTs to adjust for any injury to my triple Arsenal holdings (not that Arsenal player are usually injured but....), possible go triple on Sunderland, or fix team as need for any injury suspension, etc.
Only plan for next week is Wickham in for N'Doye... still unsure about a 3rd Sunderland player or if someone else is catching form.would still go a
yeah... very nervy not having anyone from ManC home to QPR...
giving it another day to think about...thanks for the replies !
no aguero is the problem but guess u can do nothing much about it. so might as well save.
Swansea form in last 6 games: 4 wins and 1 draw
Sanchez -> Siggy
considering it myself
Would anyone believe me if I told you I did this move 5 or 6 weeks ago? 🙁
Majority easier fixtures if you're suggesting Arsenal will fook up
Is anyone going double ARS defence ?
nah. enough defensive options out there to form a good back 3 rather than double ARS
Great differential. A mid is probably the preferable option but if you can't afford then I think Kos + maybe Bellerin/Monreal is a good shout
Already have Bellerin + Sanchez.
Thinking Ivanovic + Vardy > Kos + Benteke for free
Then Henderson > Sun midfielder next week
haven't seen anyone doing that.
Interesting that the dream team in DGW34 has 5 defenders in it....
No. Triple SUN 😛
Kun Tekkers N'Doye
Going giroud/kaneless.
N'Doye owned by 0.4 of teams. What a differential. Come on boy! This could be a rocket trip up the rankings. Or not.
I would keep Kane. He is hungry for more goals imo
Kane went in 34
Oh I see. then NDoye it is lol.
it is a very promising differential. These game do bring out the best in relegation battling teams
Surely Hazard will be rested after the Liverpool game.
anyone selling before ?rested for what? the summer? his girlfriend?
nothing is confirmed anyway. there might be no rest after all. i would say look at how chelsea plays against pool...a holiday mood chelsea even if hazard is playing i would not want to keep him
might, gonna wait for the presser
I agree. I think he'll be rested for West Brom if any.
again, does not compute to me.
Surely he'll be chomping at the bit to be on the pitch in the limelight, trying to add to his goal tally, enjoying the party....A just think he will rotate and let some youngsters play after the Liverpool game and freeing up that 10 millio. Could work wonders for the remaining 2 games
I just love that Chelsea will have SUN on the last day. If they have to win to stay up then Mourinho will be obliged to play his best team. Imagine how it would go down if he benched Hazard for that game...
Community thoughts would be appreciated. Should I cover rivals Benteke with -4 from giroud? Current lead of 75, but rivals team has momentum. Would involve a -8 to cover his Kosc and Sánchez moves or do I just take -4 and go without tekkers?
You only need to cover Sanchez imo. 25 points a week is a lot to catch up with anyway.
75 point lead. Unless he captain Tekkers and Tekkers score 4/5 goals, I think you're pretty safe. Stya on -4, don't give him any freebies trying to catch up.
(says the person hopelessly yet doggedly chasing a 67 point lead... you'll never guess who I captained this week...)are you a league where you have to disclose transfers or do you just openly discuss your teams even when money is at stake?
I work out rivals moves 😉
just asking. how would u feel if giroud scores a brace after u take him out for -4?
giroud has a good chance to match benteke's points..True, he's just poor in comparison to tekkers last 2-3 GW. Guess form can turn in a second though. Just worried about his captain option
yeah if u have none of them(like me)..i would definitely get in benteke. just that u already have giroud and is for -4 it just feel wrong.
lucky aguero is the favorite capper for the week..with sanchez/benteke on second. so you should not be too worse off.
and u can captain giroud on gw37 if u want
Ideally, a front 3 of Gru, Benteks and Kun is the way to go right now. Wouldn't remove Gru at all before a dgw.
Thanks for the input lads. -4 it is, hoping for a tekkers blank :/
I'm the only one here who wants to bring in Siem De Jong, right?
i did consider..but him not starting the last game worries me. with 3gw to go i would not want to take such a risk
Carver has talked about SDJ's status openly in pressers. Starting for Under 21s mid-week last week and Carver had said he wasn't ready to start in Prem team yet last week. Will wait to see what "Too Honest" John Carver says this week. If he says he's starting, I may take the plunge as I'm chasing 67 points in my minileague and when healthy, the man is a talent.
if he starts i am buying.
All righty then. I'll follow you.
Now to find out when Carver will gab with the press. Will need popcorn for that one for sure.
yup!
The blank differential ; - )
Yes. Might be a better bet next season.
Too easy next year. The time is now.
Have to do something bold to close a 67 point gap and haven't yet been convinced to triple down on Sunderland's defense ; - )I have triple SUN dee-fence. It's a good low risk differential.
Other diffs could be to cap'n someone other than Kun.Well, I don't have Kun so not captaining him is pretty easy.
And, I know you have triple Sunderland defense... was cracking a sly joke...
Btw Is that really Doosra ?
If so am really happy ur posting again mate. ANd hope ur feeling better mate.
Super Silva Haze here.It is Doosra. He's still in recovery, but is coming and going in here a lot now. Doing better. He's posted health updates last week and was in the hot topics I think.
That's absolutely fantastic news.
All the best Doosra. God blessThanks, Ivan!
Yep, I am tackling rehab, now. Just been upgraded from zimmer to walking stick! 😀
Is Hazard still in the Caribean?
Fookin better not b !
That photo was taken while on holiday in Cromer, Norfolk. He'll easily be back in time for the next game.
Nice! This I didn't know.
You can tell by the clear, blue skies and the beautiful beach! 🙂
Should travel more to Cromer I guess.
But how do you really know its Cromer, Norfolk?
It doesn't say anything on instagram where it is.
Eden Hazard holidays in Cromer, Norfolk?
Only 25 minutes to the beach! By car.Now I'm worried again.
Did CBC just trolled?Sorry Arfield. After 10 years of this game, the final few weeks before retirement must be getting to me.... I apologise.
Not quite as nice as Bridlington or Doncaster, but Hazard leads a simple life....
9 years, 1 month agoA) Benteke, Koscielny (keep Henderson, ship Ivanovic)
B) Giroud, Larsson (keep Ivanovic, ship Henderson)
In both scenarios I have Sanchez+Arsenal mid. They're both for -8 total (over 2 weeks). Main difference is the Benteke move would involve all 8 points this week. B would mean -4 this and -4 next with keeping Vardy this week.
One (possible) benefit of A is I’d get rid of Vardy who is up against my 2 Southampton defenders. Although I’m not convinced that’s much of a reason to do it.
Any thoughts lads?
