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 many goals will arsenal score in the dgw ??
3???
Yes, I would agree with 3
5
Going to triple up on attack, so none.
Sweet. Panti PVA cleansheet 😎
Oh wait, I'll have them...
Rosicky goal. Ox assist.😆 some 15 year old youth prospect no ones ever heard of
Most likely, except of course for whoever I have in a H2H match, they'll have him captained. 😉
and the assister off the bench for when Sanchez gets rested 😀
Inevitably 😉
Hazard + Alderweireld out for Sanchez + PVA, worth it for a hit? Can't afford Sanchez without a hit.
Or should I avoid the hit and do a straight swap Alderweireld to Bellerin?
So are people stunned into silence on this by the brilliance or the stupidity of this idea? (-:
I'd want Sanchez over any other Arsenal player this week. That probably answers your question.
Thanks, it does seem more risky not having Sanchez compared to not having Hazard. And as a late comer to the Hazard party, I could swap back next week.
i'm sorry but help needed as brain is fried 🙂
I have Sanchez & Cazorla already & 1 FT, would you:
A: Hazard out for Ramsey or Ozil
B: Hazard & Vardy out for Gomez & Giroud (-4)
leaning towards A
Might sound stupid but should I bench Boyd(STK) or Ivanovic(wba) ?
boyd
Thanks bud
So close to just doing it.... http://imgur.com/SR7us9d
Might actually be okay benching Rose who might come on for Hazard no show.I would, Andy. I'm sure Gabriel will get a game before the season is up, but it looks like Mertesacker is more at risk if so.
Can't see anything to split Koscielny and Mertesacker!
Yeah, really tough. I think Gabriel plays the last game vs West Brom in GW38.
Don't do it!!!
Why not? What is your article going to say?
This is my current team - http://imgur.com/Uxf5lnq
Don't really see any good route to a different Arsenal player.Are you really set on getting an Arsenal defender? I'd prefer another mid tbh but who to lose is tricky.
I was all set for doing:
Silva+Vardy to Gomez/Larsson+Giroud but then Silva went and did really well last couple of weeks!
I'm not keen on losing Hazard with Sunderland last GW which could be a bloodbath.
Also which mid do I even go for?!
I'm not set on getting a defender but it seems like the most sensible choice. He also looks like rising tonight and if he does I can't afford it.In that case I'd be tempted to lose Hazard. Would you have enough to get him back in for gw38? He may not even play as the last game is a lottery.
What about Bellerin instead?Fancy Chambers to start v Sunderland potentially.
I know Koscielny is also a rotation threat but why would I get Bellerin instead?
Wouldn't be able to afford Hazard back without a hitDon't like how your limiting yourself by getting Koscielny in now.
Also, I wouldn't get Giroud in now tbh. Caz/Rambo better imp. All in the article 🙂Is Koscielny + Hazard better than Clyne+Ramsey/Ozil?
I don't fancy Giroud but he would block rivals. I'd like Ramsey/Cazorla but not enough to get rid of Hazard/Silva I don't thinkWould you play Clyne this week? Don't fancy soton defence tbh but I guess its better than playing Rose.
Do it
Saints maybe to keep a cleanie this week?
Had considered that but they've been in poor form of late and Benteke in decent form. Also Skrtel's final fixture is much better
^^
Do it! I got him last week
Feeling relaxed now
Price thoughts for depay next season?
9.0 maybe?
8.5
8.5
10 bob
Has anyone considered thst Mourinho might be talking I'm riddles? Haz out seems an awfully popular move
I'm keeping 🙂
I'm keeping but definitely think he starts benched this week
I'm keeping and taking a punt on Bobby Zamora
Keeping 🙂
I posted last week that my lad was laughing at me for for going for Giroud and two mids instead of three mids, or, a defender and two mids....Why do I know he's going to be right again...?
Here's hoping 🙂
Sods law
A. Because Giroud is middling at best. During his hot streak he had the Midas touch and even he felt he had to justify his good form in post match interviews. They were flying in off his knees and everything that time.
B. Arsenal are a we'll score one more than you all out attacking team as was the case again last night. Defending, is not their number one priorityI already feel like I'm going to be trusting to luck just by picking him.
At this point how big a lead would you need in ML to consider yourself safe?
More than 55
30 points
30 sounds pretty confident!
I'm wishing I had a 30 point lead instead of 2 points!!
Depends on the differentials. You could lead by 20 but if all 15 are the same, you win.
Got a team full of blankers (not a typo) but cruising at the top of my mini league so I'm hoping the likes of giroud, kane, eriksen, hazard can just give me a but of their normal form for the last week and I think I'll be home and dry.
Mignolet
schlupp, skrtel, koscielny,
eriksen, hazard, silva, sterling,
Giroud, kane, aguero
Krul, mane, bertrand, yun.
One free transfer. Barely any money in the bank. Do I need another gooner?Hazard+eriksen+bertrand→gomez+sanchez+pva
Did not see that suggestion coming. a -8 hit? Does my team look that bad?
No
But for the dgw yes
You need sanchez this week + erkisen need to goEriksen is stinking out your team!
Can you squeeze Erikson to Caz with your budget?
Ooh, so close, but I have 0.2 left so that would leave me 0.1 off. I could take a hit and get a Sunderland player in, but it seems weird to do that when I have an entire team of players who are expected to start and could well get some good points.
Shame. I have a similar dilemma, take a hit for Sanchez + a cheapie like PVA.
I'd you don't want to take a hit, what about Sterling out?Yeah i think sterling is the way to go. Shame because he has crystal palace, but he is yet another one of my blankers
Who should be my first sub taking into consideration a hazard no show?
A) schlupp
B) Boyd
C) stones
Schlupp
You have the right order IMO - ABC.
Cheers all.
Schlupp 1st sub it is.
A
Cheers Doosra. And welcome back mate.
Glad to hear you are on the road to recovery!!!
Oh is hazard definitely dropped?
Welbeck to affect Giroud's gametime?
Hope not.
Walcott might!!!Coming on late vs tired legs ?
Yes, imo
It seems it's best for me to wait Friday and team news. Although the players I want will rise in price, but I have 0.3 in the bank, so never mind. 🙂
Good man. 🙂
He shouldn't really, he's the epitome of a British footballer with no talent and all hype.
That would be Gerrard
After sterling
My word, that is a very silly statement indeed. 🙁
He only scores for England, not for my fantasy team.
What good is he?
Should do, Giroud isn't up to it
Yes imp. Won't play the full 180
Imo*
Cheers, I think I will get Ozil and Defoe then.
Wait on Ozil Dusan. Read my article before making a decision 😉
Either worth a -4?
Hendo > Gomez
Kane > DefoeNot for me
Thanks. Think I'll hold
Team good to go? Bench ok?
Mignolet (CPL)
Bellerin (mun,SUN) - Terry (wba) - PvA (LEI,ars)
Sanchez (mun,SUN) - Coutinho (CPL) - Silva (swa) - Hazard (wba)
Kane (HUL) - Aguero (swa) - Giroud (mun,SUN)T
0.0 ITB, 1 FT
subs: Myhill (CHE), Alderweireld (AVL), Fonte (AVL), Albrighton (sun)Looks good.
Depends if you want another dgw player, you could do Albrighton > Gomez and bench haz.+ 42
No money in the back, Zlatan. Am considering benching Hazard and starting a Saints defender tbh!
Other options are Mignolet -> Panti or save FT and do Fonte -> Cahill and Kane -> Vardy/Ulloa in GW38.Saving your FT could be a good shout. You have a good first sub if hazard doesn't play.
Yup, now to stay disciplined and stick to that plan...
Mignolet -> Pants. You have the FT and you will have more money for last GW
Would mean playing Fonte or Alderweireld or even both vs Man City in GW38, though? I'm hoping to use a FT to get a Leicester striker in GW38. Plus I'd have Panti (che) + Myhill (ars) as my keepers...
Swings and roundabouts, I guess!
Mignolet(davis)
schlupp terry kosc jagielka wasilewski

C) Kane/ benteke + Boyd > defoe + gomez(-4)
D) Benteke + boyd + mignolet > Defoe + gomez+ pants(-8)
This is not easy!
A) Pick 3 from 5 please
Current order
Kos PVA Toby JT Schlupp
B) worth playing a 4th defender instead of Haz
(Sanchez Ramsey Hendo playing)
or instead of Vardy (Kun & Kane)?
ThanksIt's very easy, 2 double weekers and Terry
Ok thanks and is Toby at home worth considering over Hazard or Vardy ( 4 defenders)?
Nope. Saints been rubbish and Villa got lot to play for
I'm in mini league cup final, oppo has 3 Arsenal and PVA and 2ft
I have 3 Arsenal and 1ft
Is my best option to just get PVA (easiest player to get in one move) and hope if he gets Gomez Wickham they blank? Don't really wanna start the final 4 behindWhat 3 Arsenal do you both have?
Both have Sanchez Ospina
He has Monreal I have OzilYou are favourite in terms of Arsenal players, I would get PVA yes
Pick the best GW38 team with all the current info and guesses on rotation.
All I know is I am bringing in kolorov for gw38!!!
Imagine Clichy starting.
You think? I can't see kolorov being dropped the next two matches.
I guess the ladder will dictact who plays. Arsenal losing to United could be a big factor.
People have been suffering from that delusion for weeks ( and arguably seasons 😉 )
GW38 means anythings possible.
Schmeichel
Ivanovic Vlaar Kolarov
Sanchez Ramsey Silva Hazard
Aguero Giroud Benteke
( Grealish real useful 1st sub)Not far off Andys team below.
That will be mine for a -4
Why is Giroud the most likely to get a rest ? . Walcott , Wilshire and Rosicky could easily start one of the games .
Walcott could replace Giroud though.
Sorry it just annoys me when people say a player is going to be rotated for no reason and not based on anything . Of course Giroud could be rotated that does not mean it is going to happen . My point was any player could be rotated but a player usually only becomes a rotation risk when it suits their transfer plans .
I think Giroud is likely to start both.
He had rest in the last game, in which they lacked presence with him off the field. Arsenals patient approach means they need a focal point up top.Does form not become a factor?
This article for example.
As a starter? Not based on pitch performance or contract situation.
Walcott done more in 20 minutes than Giroud has done in 4 weeks.
You are probably right.
Will Welbeck be ready this DGW?
Cheers, thought he was closer. Hopefully the presser has better news.
Two q's at the front of my mind:
A) Is a Sunderland player really needed for next week ? I'm not chasing
B) Is Sanchez really essential ? i.e. shipping hazard for him essentialPVA hard to pass over at the price
If he does an Aguero this week, he is.
Given
Ivanovic Kolarov R.Taylor
Hazard Ramsey Sanchez Silva
Aguero Benteke LukakuReply fail to TM
Lukaku > Cisse possibly if he looks ok this weekend.
Do you think he might start?
Dunno. I really wanted to pick him but it's all a bit up in the air.
Thinking out of the box myself.
Nice team. Mine won't be half that 🙁
Actually think Cisse/Ulloa might be up front.
My team won't be very near that either 🙂
RMT hates a Maverick 😀
Haha let me guess, Hazard - 9 pts, Gerrard - 3 pts?
Right players 😉
Tell me about it ! Lol
fff told me to sell or bench all my sunderland players lol
They may be on to something 😉
Panti
Lovren Pva Bellerin
Haz Mata Sanchez Coutinhio
Kane Aguero Benteke
Heaton Morgan Siggy Zouma
Thoughts on haz + siggy --> ramsey + gomez
GW38 coutinhio --> haz
-4 over the 2 weeks.@Doosra
Good to see you about on here more frequently! I hope the rehab is going well? 🙂
Is there a table to justify bringing in Kolarov this week or is that just plain mental? 😛Clichy far too likely to get a game
He's injured no?
if only Pellegrini used that link as well
If you already had two Arsenal mids (Caz & Sanchez), would you rather get a third mid or get a defender instead?
I feel like my head says a defender is safer, as they're bound to get 1 CS, but my heart wants Ramsey.In exact same position. Think I'm going to go for a defender
Yeah. I think I probably would too.
Another factor is my rival has Bellerin, so it nullifies him. But as it's H2H maybe I'd rather gamble on Ramsey outscoring.
Another mid!
You've practically got a CS with 3 Arsenal mids 😉
But I'm only comparing the third players.:)
Ramsey
Chaps some help if you don't mind?
A.) Start Schlupp (sun) or Morgan (sun)
B.) Start Cesc (wba) or Siggy (CTY)
TaStart two
Clyne Schlupp Terryclyne terry
CT
Cheers
Agree with the above, but Schlupp a decent back up!

Simple question.
Rambo or Cazorla...?Rambo
Rambo
It's not so simple SZ. Both are good picks imo.
Yup it's a real head scratcher Jaffa. I'm totally confused.
rambo for me based on what I have seen lately
Just putting this out there...
a. Bellerin + 4pts
b. Ramsey/OzilA
Tight. I reckon Ozil is most nailed of the 3...can see Chambers playing v Sunderland
