We delve into the members’ data this evening and shine a light over a number of pertinent stats from the Gameweek 36 fixtures. Arsenal’s misfiring frontman, City’s raiding left-back, Eden Hazard’s drop in attacking threat and Tom Cleverley’s recent improvement are all on our midweek radar.
How does Vardy to Defoe GW37 and Hazard Bench?
GW 38 Panti to Schmeichel and Defoe on Bench
Have this dilemma myself. But think he could run riot home to rangers last game
Would much rather have Vardy in my team for 38
That's why I asked. Trouble is Panti and Myhill not good news GW38
Schmikes
Terry Ivan PVA Kos Duff
Haz Ramsey Sanchez Hendo Albrighton
Kun Benteke N'Doye
Bench who?
A) Ivan Albrighton Duff (3-4-3)
B) Duff Albrighton N'Doye (4-4-2)
C) Ivan Duff N'Doye (3-5-2)
C).
A full quarter of the top 10k are fantasy football scout followers. If that's not a reason to join this site, I don't know what is... although I wonder if there's a point where we have to employ a tory immigration policy to keep out the casuals...
+1.
I just don't like my team this week and I don't even know why really.
Ospina
Skrtel JT PvA
Sanchez Fabregas Larsson Hazard
Aguero Giroud Wickham
Schmeichel Cambiasso Schlupp Vlaar
It's all quite logical, I know Hazard will probably be rested but I'd be happy to play Cambiasso. I want Fabregas and Hazard for GW38 when Chelsea beat Sunderland 6-0. 🙂
I think the problem may be that with 3 Arsenal, 3 Sunderland, 3 Chelsea and 3 Leicester the squad is unbalanced. Maybe I should have brought in Kane instead of Wickham?
Too late now anyway, no FTs left and I don't plan on taking a hit. 😕
I've been ditching Chelsea assets to make myself feel better about the balance.
Yeah. That is real eggs in one basket stuff.
Fab > Silva is so easy
I don't want Silva. He scored his points last week and Fabregas will outscore him in GW37/38.
You have the same 3 Arsenal players as me, maybe that is why you are not happy with it. I am seriously considering Ospina & Haz > Panti & Caz for -8 😆
I looked at that before I used my FT. Could have done something like that for -4. But I'm extremely reluctant to take hits now, especially not to change perfectly good Arsenal players.
Maybe I have just been too conservative? We'll see.Yea depends on your position. I am not too bothered about OR, just my ML's which I have all but won. So could have a few punts and hits but still not sure.
3 Arsenal, 2 Sunderland, 2 Chelsea, 2 Man City. Thats why i am concerned about getting extra Sunderland.
Add 2 Leicester to that!
It's unusual to see 3 Leicester/ 3 Sunderland players in your team that's all.
The fixtures have pointed that way. I'd leave it now tho I think Kane owners may get rewarded this week.
Would you play Schlupp over Cambiasso? There's a good chance of a 0-0 there I feel, neither team will want to lose that and a 'prearranged' draw may suit both clubs.I wrote about that yesterday actually. I agree, a 0-0 would not be a disaster for either team. But Leicester have been successful on the front foot and I don't think Pearson will risk withdrawing them into their shell. I think there will be goals and quite possibly a few save points too.
Good team. No need to worry.
Looks good imo mate. Wouldn't touch Wickham personally but it's certainly a punt that could work out. 4 points minimum I guess, but his fixture next week is worrying. What are you doing with him then?
What makes you so confident of a Chelsea battering in GW38?I'll have two options in GW38:
1. Bench Wickham and play 3-5-2 with Larsson becoming Ashley Young or Cleverley;
2. Bench Larsson and Wickham becomes Benteke or Rooney (but requires a hit).
Probably 1 but it depends on whether Villa are safe partly.
The Chelsea GW38 thing is based on having seen a lot of big scorelines at Stamford Bridge on the last day of season, going way back. Especially when the mood is high (as it will be). Last time Chelsea won the PL they beat Wigan 8-0 on the final day.
I'm sure it's selective memory to some degree though because you tend to remember the big scorelines more. But I will be at the game and that adds to the attraction. If Sunderland are safe or already relegated it could be a bloodbath. I just hope they have nothing to play for.
Just 1 more vote to draw level!
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/10288945Done!
Straight to the point.No BS. You have my vote
I've also voted. Hello Ginkapo
has anyone got the ownership stats for key arsenal players in the top 10k?
I don't have the stats but they could be misleading as wouldn't include transfers for this week so will look a lot different when GW37 starts
Ok yea there will be a lot of new owners, just wondering how many own Sanchez/Ramsey et all really.
Fair enough. I stand corrected having seen the stats. It is quite interesting to know and could be useful
As of GW36:
Ospina 16%
Bellerin 33%
Koscielny 12%
Sanchez 74%
Ramsey 18%
Cazorla 15%
Ozil 13%
Giroud 47%Thanks Ruth
Sanchez high enough so no real gain there (c) wise
Ramsey looks the punt
Pity Girouds firm seems to have dipped he may have been worth the gamble.
A cs doesn't look so flaming right now I'm not sure Bellerin will play both.I think Bellerin is a really good pick and I think he will play both. Debuchy had/has a hamstring strain, right? Unlikely he'll be back and Chambers won't be picked over Bellerin.
I have Ospina/Sanchez/Giroud. My only uncertainty is whether to captain Sanchez or Giroud but I'll probably make the safety play.

Nice team. Hazard to Gomez.
Who fancies Juve tonight?
I'd like to see them through!
Hopefully. Would be good for the neutral but not so much for the coefficient for english teams
o/
Allegri
I think they've got a great chance, really hope they do it. Sadly, if I had to put my money somewhere, I think real will edge it.
Would love to see it.
There are no doubts about Koscielny playing the all last three matches, right?
There are always doubts with Gabriel and Chambers lurking, but I think he'll be alright.
The choice is killing me right now. Sanchez is must, I don't dare to go to DGW without him captained, but after that... I don't see Arsenal actually scoring all that much, nor conceding, in the rest of the season. This can well be like 0-0, 2-0, 2-0, or something like that. They're playing two ultra-defensive teams, and then WBA who don't have attack, so doubling up on the defence seems wiser than doubling up on their midfield. But then, I can't do a straight swap for Kos. And to take a -4 either for swapping Skrtel to PVA or making changes in the bench fodder doesn't appeal to me.
Gabriel will play 1 game I'd say but you'd have thought that's ahead of Mertesacker rather than Koscielny. It's nothing more than a calculated prediction though.
+1
No, unless they bench him for the Cup.
I meant, he could do unless benched with the cup in mind.
He's no more at risk than the other three.
Choose your pick and hope for the best!
All you Kuqi monsters! Time to activate and vote for best team for community champion.

How do I go about choosing and voting?
ThanksYou choose not to vote anybody who spams the community with his vote begging. And you vote by giving the regular upvote (green upwards arrow) to the post representing the team you like the most (in condition the forum member posting the team doesn't also spam the community).
Okay thanks!
So I need to find their post with their team in, and up vote that specific post?
I assume I find that in the hot topics?

You're still spamming? Wasn't the 20+ votes in the last 2 hours through constantly spamming your team enough?
Can't you just keep quiet and let the community decide. No need to keep reposting this appealing for votes, hardly fair on the other teams who've kept quiet.Well i am not spamming my own team. Just a reminder for community to vote.
Aye, I had the same issue last week.
The community should decide the team that they think will score the most pointsIsn't that happening atm?
Dawson > PVA (-4)?
Not for me
Who would you be playing if you don't do that?
Toby and Schlupp
Both good options.
And Dawson?
I assume not. I'd play Toby
And Terry.
No
No.
I would be tempted. PVA is so attacking. Anything can happen. And it is gonna be fun 😉
Have managed to squeeze out a precarious 21 point lead in my ML. I have 3 arsenal going into the DGW and no Sunderland. Rival has PVA and 2 arsenal.
Do I get 1 Sunderland just to be safe? Hate maintaining a lead. Chasing much more exciting...Maybe get PVA if your ML is your main focus. Only if it's for free though.
Yeah leaning towards PVA or panti for free now cheers
I'd be boring and get PVA to match him. Chances are he won't do anything but he has the attacking threat to generate a decent score
Depends on the rest of your team.
Schmeichel Heaton
Terry Clyne Skrtel Bruce Bellerin
Ozil Sanchez Silva Hazard Cambiasso
Aguero Vardy KaneFT's and money banked?
1 free 0.6 in the bank. Concerns around hazard minutes but pretty much everyone has that issue and don't see the need to gamble
I'd go for Gomez mate.
PVA/Panti for free, not sure about a hit.
THE BALLSY Community Champion has arived !! Vote for The Special One 😉 😛

This is The Machines team actually !!!
Boom 😉
If you were in the top 1k or even the top 500 would you take a hit this week to gamble on Sunderland players to push closer towards the top 100 or just try and hold ground?
Depends who you'd be playing instead. There's no real appealing Sunderland options imo especially with their 2nd fixture.
Would get Gomez in. If not, would play Hazard or Cambiasso if Hazard gets benched.
Sensible move is to do nothing, but I was wondering if people think it's worth the risk to gain rank if you have 3 Arsenal and PVA already or if I should just hold onto my decent rank
Hold ground - top 1k is good.
I'm considering N'Doye to a Sunderland striker for a hit but I'm not sure
In your shoes I would definitely go for it. Wouldn't worry about losing top 10 status and would instead go for all (#1 spot) or nothing
Thank you for the advice. GW 38 fixture is away at Chelsea though
Would be fine if your plan involves benching whoever you buy in GW38
Was thinking the same thing Tinkerman (but to try and break into the top 1k). Think I'm going to hold and go in with only one Sunderland player (PvA).
Yeah, that's the sensible option. I think it's only worth it if there's truly something to go for
Tinkerman, greetings with a very good season! Will try to win overall rank in Germany?
"I have been in football many years but the decision of Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United to not play Pogba and let him leave is one of the strangest decisions I have ever seen," he told the Daily Express.
"Just after a few training sessions, we saw how good he was. It cannot have been the same player they saw in Manchester – we thought they maybe needed glasses!"
No, Buffon, YOU need glasses. Clearly you failed to see the majesty of Tom Cleverley.But then, it appears they need glasses in Manchester, too, since Cleverley no longer plays there either.
Merely an act of charity. We donated his immeasurable talent to Villa to keep them from relegation.
Fair enough.
Hmmm... the question really is, will PVA outscore Benteke by 4 or more points.
No.
I dont think so
You know the answer to that question
Yeah... that's what I'm thinking too. So, then it is pretty straight forward. I'm not getting the team I want, but it's better not to take stupid hits to enforce it.
unlikely
I'm just so close to get the defence of my dreams. 🙁
Would Kos + Silva outscore Caz + Benteke by 4 or more over the end of the season?
I guess not, again.
Morning lads. Which move would you do to get 3rd Arsenal player? Already have Bellerin and Giroud.
A) Hazard -> Alexis
B) Sterling -> Ramsey
C) Migs & Sterling -> Myhill & Alexis (Hit)A).
Anything to bring in Sanchez, imo.
Not taking a hit - GTG?
Panti
Terry - Alderweireld - Schlupp
Sanchez (C) - Hazard - Silva - Ramsey - Cazorla
Aguero - Kane
Krul, Vardy, Vlaar, Dawson
Cheers.I'd play Vardy ahead of Hazard.
See below.
Yep looks good.
Looking good but would take a hit Aldy -> Pva
Looks good.
Looks good mate. Set up nicely for the next two
Start Hazard. If he's rested Vardy will come on anyway. You'd rather that happen then Hazard starting, getting 10+ points and not coming on because Vardy got 2 pts
If Hazard is being rested, he won't come on anyway so no problems about him getting a minute for you.Exactly my thinking.
How are you so certain that he won't be on for a cameo?
Thanks all.
Stick with Kane & Toby this week or bring in Defoe/Graham/Wickahm + PvA for a hit each?
Stick
Maybe just get PVA forr free and keep Kane.
Already used my FT on Sterling->Ramsey.
Didn't read 'each'. Stick then.
Weirdly, thinking of saving my FT, this week (will need it to transfer out players who I don't think will play in the final week, such as probably Giroud/Benteke). Think I don't need more DGWers:
Schmeichel
Terry, PvA, Skrtel (Ivanovic, Huth)
Sanchez, Ramsey, J.Gomez, Coutinho (Young)
Giroud, Aguero, Benteke
Wise? Also, have I benched the right defenders?
Appreciate suggestions.Yep save.
I'd play Ivan ahead of Skrtel. Save the FT.
Yep I think you are G2G. I think you've benched the right players, although I'd still be tempted to play Ivan instead of Terry.
Save. Bench looks fine, I'd prefer Brani over Skrtel but don't think there will be much difference
Looks good! You must be a late wildcarder....
You can definitely save the transfer. I'd consider playing Ivanovic over Skrtel, but I think it's safest as you've got it now.thank you all.
The plan was to sell Silva for Ramsey/Ozil/Cazorla...but not sure if City's form changes things. Hazard out is becoming more of an option now. thoughts with this lot in mind?
Schmeichel
Ivan Skrtel PVA
Sanchez Hazard Silva Hendo
Kun Giroud Kane
Davis, Albrighton, Morgan, Baird
1 FT, 0.5 bankedHazard/Hendo out, Gomez in.
Gomez eh, why?
And Gomez ahead of 3rd Arsenal attacker?Oops, I meant 3rd Arsenal attacker. My apologies.
this Gomez thing might be a huge campaign to throw Simon off eh?? 😉
What's your thinking with the Ozil pick? As a differential to Simon or more to it than that (of course you're going to say 'more to it')
That was my plan too... Gonna (nervously) sell Hazard now.
I think GW37 is an *okay* week to sell Hazard - the main question is whether he comes straight back in for GW38.
If he does, I can only afford Sanchez > Hazard next GW.Arsenal mid + Kane > Hazard + Cisse for GW 38 😉
Don't lose Silva! If you wan't to bring in Ozil/Ramsey, take out Hazard (reluctantly).
If you want to play safe, just do Ivanovic->Koscielny.My bad, Ivan is Terry - sold Ivan last week to fund Sanchez in 😀
Yea he looked really good against QPR...but City are rarely great away from home. Tough decision with GW38 and SUN(H) for Chelsea to think about too.Terry-> Koscielny is still a fair choice.
He did and he always has the chance to bring in a really good haul. It's hard to make decisions around Chelsea now because we just don't know what Jose will do.
I'd stick with Silva personally.
Wait, what?? Are we selling Hazard now?? What did I miss?
just increased possibility of being rested to give kids a chance. Makes sense with Jose talking about the integrity of the league.
Play best players vs Liverpool who had CL place to fight for.
Does he need to play best players vs WBA who have nothing to play for?
WIll probably have to field best players as Sunderland may still be fighting for survival.Meeh I didn't think of that. Just got rid of Cahill and Courtois tho so I'm hoping he'll play Hazard. I would imagine him resting lesser players than Haz tho?
No. Chelsea have been flagging "Hazard is tired" for 3-4 weeks. The player has mentioned it himself. Doesn't mean he won't play but a rest looks fairly likely.

Damn. Why I can't succeed

Much more interesting than the standard 'icles' well done
😉 about time it was spiced up
Which one would you keep for last 2 gws?
Silva or HazardS
Silva
Silva probably
Merlin
Cheers all. Hazard out it is then
Silva.
Henderson -> Gomis? I couldn't think of a more boring transfer right now but it would enable an equally boring Kane -> Benteke next week.
Is it me or is this Sunderland DGW one of the most meh ways to end a season. I feel like a SGW transfer is a much more fun and maverick thing to do but it simply isn't logical. Particularly when there aren't any easy alternatives from this lot with GW38 in mind.
Mignolet
PVA BELLERIN Ivan
SANCHEZ Silva Hazard Henderson
GIROUD Aguero Kane
Subs: Toby Dawson Bentalab Krul
0.6
So do the boring Henderson -> Gomis? or try something different? I'm open to suggestionsYou mean Gomez right? Gomis is striker for Swansea, that is impossible in FPL rules
This
Yeah sorry, Gomez. He's so boring I can't even be bothered to work out how to spell his name. He's basically another Henderson but in a much crappier team than an already crappy Liverpool team.
Yep that's the boring move but I'd go for it Ryan.
Although interestingly Gomis mightn't be a bad option as a Kane replacement in GW38. I might have accidentally stumbled across an interesting option, he's a fair bit cheaper than Benteke so I wouldn't need to free up so much cash this week.
Swansea still don't create enough for me to invest in a striker. Less likely to have a nice explosion in GW38.
Yeah fair call. Would probably prefer a Leicester striker anyway but Benteke still seems to be the outstanding contender.
definitely. I don't buy the resting nonsense. Sherwood would want to sign off the league in style, and go in to the final confident - rather than fail to score without Benteke and go into the final a defeated team.
All managers and teams want to win the final game of the season, its only natural to want to go out on a high.
If it helps in the long run, for example by letting you get Tekkers then it's an alright move. Though I doubt there'll be many points coming from him.
Yeah I don't expect much from Gomez, more to just cover myself in case Sunderland do something unexpected, I got that wrong in previous DGW's this season. The biggest factor is it enables an easier upgrade to Benteke next week but I'd still be stuck with Gomez AND Bentalab which of course isn't ideal in many ways. My GW38 defence won't be great either with 3 up against the top 3 teams.
They're letting you swap mids for forwards now?? That ain't fair!!
mahrez?
Interesting option for GW38 perhaps.
I'd save it and have 2 FTs for the final week.
Its a goo idea really. Might have more clarity next week but even now its hard to see what I could do with 2FT's next week if I really did want to get Benteke. I'd need to downgrade somewhere to afford that.
assuming you mean Gomez.
Probably worth a transfer with 3 Arsenal in your team already. Question is - why not? Double GW, 2 pops at the cherry, 3-4 points minimum.Yeah and he's as nailed on as can be. I think it'd leave me very light for GW38 though with Bentalab as well and also dodgy fixtures for my defenders in GW38
So I bought Bloodborne on the ps4. Hardest. Game. Ever.
Did you play Dark Souls?
nope, I hear that's even harder. I'm staying away
haha fair enough. I've not played Bloodborne yet but loved DS 1 and DS 2. Incredibly frustrating but they keep you coming back for more and more. I'd give them a go if you find that you enjoy bloodborne...
I've spent a few hours on blood, but haven't got that far into the game at all as I keep dying. How i long for the modern type respawns.
It's bloody awesome. You will love it once you get the hang of it. I'm about to start New Game Plus.
I like it, just keep dying.. That Witcher game looks decent
How many hours for one playthrough?
Can't remember, I think maybe around 30-35h?
Oh cool that doesn't sound too long! Dark Souls took me about 50-60 hours...
Housemates are scavengers. That feel when you go to make your morning coffee and the milk you bought yesterday has vanished.
Sounds unbearable.
Living with strangers especially is a nightmare. My girlfriend and I live in a house share where tenants change quite frequently, in a house of people in their early 20s there's statistically always one knob (they may claim that it's me).
Hazard to Arsenal mid or Terry to Kos?
The first one
A
Cheers.
Good to go this week guys?
Ospina
Terry - Vlaar - Skrtel
Sanchez (C) - Ramsey - Gomez - Coutinho
Kane - Aguero - Graham
Bench - Krul - Silva - Fonte - Schlupp
Know benching Silva might not be popular around these parts but fancy Coutinho to outscore him this week.Benching Silva is pretty mad. Drop Coutinho
But good to go transfers wise.
Who to play:
1) Vardy
2) Alderweireld
3) Gomez for -43 if you are chasing, 1 if you are not.
