We take our usual post-Gameweek delve into the members data this evening. Chelsea and West Ham’s playmakers are under assessment, as are Spurs and City’s main men up front, whilst we also cast an eye over Bournemouth’s fit-again flier and Norwich’s improving wide man as the Canaries attempt to salvage their top-flight berth for another season.

    Yaya over Silva?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Silva.

    2. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I prefer Silva but thats just me.

    3. Prøphet
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Silva for me as well

      1. Flynny
        10 years, 7 months ago

        I got yaya.....toss of a coin tho

    4. HVT
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Silva

    5. fantasykid
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Silva IMO

  2. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Who would you rather lose to bring in Alexis for the DGW? Mahrez or Alli?

    Have Silva Firmino and Ozil as my other mids.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Alli.

    2. Milner4eva
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Alli

    3. Garlana
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I suppose it would have to be alli imo

    4. Prøphet
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Alli, not even a contest

    5. Shifty
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Chasing big time or leading?

      Mahrez out could be genius. But LEI's run in is too attractive. Surely has to be Alli all things considered.

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Leading.

    6. Barnsley FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Going to disagree on this one. If you're making the transfer right before the DGW, Alli has much better fixtures till the end. He plays a bunch of teams that won't have anything to play for, and also has Newcastle in GW 38 who might already be relegated by that point.

      Meanwhile, Mahrez's last 3 fixtures..

    7. fantasykid
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Alli

          Thank you very much Diva! Will look at your article while being awake at nights! 😀

          Absolutely incredible. Best place I've been.

          1. Diva

            Glad to hear you had a great time!

    4. Garlana

      Great thanks I've been looking for something like this, good job!

      1. Diva
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks, hope it helps.

    5. Pasqualinho
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Good job Diva. GW34 looks a minefield - I'm sure there are other permutations that you haven't included which involve the possibility of bringing a GW35 postponement back into 34 - but that would be too much work. I'm hope for your sake there's no cup replays - then you should be able to simplify it a bit.

      1. Diva
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks Pasqualinho. Yes, this is a simple version. For example, I mention in part eight a scenario which could deny Manchester United a second double gameweek, but that would require three fixtures to go the right way and for a decision on rearranging to have not already have been made.

        1. Pasqualinho
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Not forgetting the Sun v Eve GW36 possibility. It's a tricky one to navigate but, as far as maps go, this looks to be the best.

          1. Diva
            10 years, 7 months ago

            Thanks, and yes, I haven't even tried yet to factor in the possibility of a third rearranged Everton fixture yet.

    6. Siva Mohan
      10 years, 7 months ago

      part nine.. yay!

    7. Clump

        Woo hoo

  5. saihtam
    10 years, 7 months ago

    So little problem
    I have 2ft, 3,4 in the bank and two players are missing from squad to have all playing.

    ----------------Forster--------------
    Simpson-----Van Dijk----Alderweireld
    Mahrez---Arnautovic---Alli
    Vardy-------Agüero

    Not playing: Ivanovic, Souaré, Costa, Antonio, Sánchez, Gomiz

    Should i make 1 move or waste 2? And for who maybe?

    1. MEGPAL
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Costa to Kane, Sanchez to Silva

    Morning all!

    How are everyone's teams shaping up following last nights result?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 7 months ago

      12 of the finest players available.

      1. Prøphet
        10 years, 7 months ago

        What this horse said!

      2. Back on the horse
        10 years, 7 months ago

        With some of the finest fixtures

    2. Ayew Serious
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Strong fixtures all around, confident

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Me too.

        1. Ayew Serious

            Me three! Hoping for another week like last

            1. Ayew Serious
              10 years, 7 months ago

              Would be a lovely week for big scores with lots of people with only 7 or 8 players

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      10 years, 7 months ago

      In good shape after the Arsenal win. 12 players.

    4. S.Kuqi
      10 years, 7 months ago

      In overall it is good thing but I have only 10 players atm and 1 FT. Praying Alli to be fit

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah - I'm highly anticipating news out of the Spurs camp for both Alli and Rose

    5. Mikeharbrw
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Very well 🙂 Think I can even roll a transfer!

    6. The 12th Man
      10 years, 7 months ago

      14 to choose from

      1. The 12th Man
        10 years, 7 months ago

        No, 13.

    7. HVT
      10 years, 7 months ago

      11 here
      4-3-3

      Butters
      Wolly/Vvd/Kompany/Simpson
      Mahrez/Siggy/Alli
      Kun(c)/Kane/Vardy
      (Özil/Payet/Bellend)
      1ft 3.4 itb
      Is team good enough to save, would you consider Payet to Silva for free?

      1. HVT
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Ok thanks all 🙁

      2. Hy liverpool
        10 years, 7 months ago

        save imo .. only silva if you will wc gw33

    8. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Same as it was before, got not Arsenal players.

    9. Diva
      10 years, 7 months ago

      11 starters all being well. 😀

    10. Jafalad
      10 years, 7 months ago

      13 all up. My season begins now.

    11. Prøphet
      10 years, 7 months ago

      13 players (including one goalie which doesnt matter since its Elliot) VvD Sub!

    12. Bunk Moreland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 7 months ago

      10 players available, 1 FT. Probably gonna be Sanchez out for either Siggy or a city mid.

    13. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 7 months ago

      12 but that includes Targett.
      Have to think whether it's worth burning a transfer to take Payet out for a week or two or starting Smith against Swansea.
      Don't normally like 4-3-3.
      will have a rethink if the DGW details start coming out as suggested tomorrow or Friday.

    14. Pompel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Happy that Arsenal went through, can still field 11 players. Regret selling Bellering though

  7. Shifty
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Team as follows:

    Lloris
    Bertrand Morgan Dier Rangel
    Mahrez Sigurdsson
    Kun Aguero

    Valencia**, Lingard, Azpi, Payet, Ozil

    2 FTs, 4m in the bank. Currently have 9 players but 11 is possible. Valencia > Vardy with 1 FT seems a no brainer. Thoughts on the below?

    A) Azpi + Valencia > Kompany + Vardy
    B) Lingard + Valencia > King + Vardy, keep Azpi
    C) Azpi + Lingard > Huth + Yaya (would be stuck with Valencia, messes up team structure and will be doubling up on LEI def)

  10. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 7 months ago

    How's your bench looking for this GW ?

    I've got no bench cover at all

    Foster, Ozil, Payet, Ighalo

    1. The 12th Man
      10 years, 7 months ago

      McCarthy,Simpson,Cedric,Özil here

    2. Piggs Boson
      10 years, 7 months ago

  11. Champy
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Schmeichel or Butland this week?

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Schmeichel for me

      1. Champy
        10 years, 7 months ago

        leaning that way

    2. Make United Great Again
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Schmeichel

  12. Albert Cole
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Which teams are guaranteed a DGW34?

    1. Albert Cole
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Any of those playing this GW? Maybe City or Newcastle, is that so?

    2. Piggs Boson
      10 years, 7 months ago

      None have been scheduled yet. We should get some confirmed tomorrow.

  13. LC1
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Lloris
    Bellerin** Simpson Kompany
    Alli Ayew Mahrez Silva
    Aguero Kane(C) Vardy

    Elliott Firmino Borthwick-Jackson Moreno

    0.0 ITB 0 FT.

    Should I take a hit to field 11 or just stick with the 10 and hope for the best?

    1. Piggs Boson
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Are you planning to WC before the first DGW? If so then take a 2pt hit imo.

      If not, then it depends who you want for the DGW, and if any of the benchees are excluded from this list.

      We should get some DGW fixtures tomorrow apparently.

    2. HVT
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Comment removed because I used the term b and j together, not replying to any teams now that have him in their team!

      1. Jafalad
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Me too and I only mentioned a NZ cricketer of same initials. 😡

        1. HVT
          10 years, 7 months ago

          This is getting out of hand, Shirley we are all mature adults on here? I mean like those initials are so overrated?
          🙂

      2. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights

        The minority spoiling it for the masses I'm afraid. CBJ should be good.

  14. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    10 years, 7 months ago

    I can't imagine what will be in the scoutcast questions today...

    1. Jafalad
      10 years, 7 months ago

      DGW speculation I'd of thought.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Feels like we won't get away from that for the rest of the season - which is fair enough. Plus I can't help but get a little excited!

        Reckon it'll be which City mid / City mid v Sigurdsson for those with Arsenal assets.

        Should I take hits to field 11 etc etc

        1. Prøphet
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Silva is in, Gylfi is already in. Hopefully Alli is fit so VvD doesnt have to come in 😛

    2. Piggs Boson
      10 years, 7 months ago

      "Can any of you say 'big black clock' three times, really fast?"

      😉

    3. Piggs Boson

      'Clocks' is a banned word? 🙂

      1. andy85wsm

        ffs!

        1. Piggs Boson
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Might as well delete the question now 🙂

  15. Pompel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Good morning !

    Just one thing bothering me this GW:
    Can field 11 tin GW30, so is it worth it to swap Arnie for Siggy, with Swansea having Villa in GW31? Or are FT's just too valuable at this point to bother?

  16. Duffo
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Butland (Hennessey)
    Toby Huth Daniels (VVD, Azpi)
    Sigurdsson, Arnie*, Mahrez (Payet, Lingard*)
    Kun Vardy Kane

    A. Lingard -> Alli
    B. Arnie > Yaya and play VVD

  17. Bunk Moreland
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Play Butland (SOU) over Fabianski (bou), right?

    1. HVT
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Yea, Shawx back too.

    2. Bunk Moreland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Sweet! Double stoke defense for this week, worked like a charm last time I did that.

      1. HVT
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Same here but I benched Wollys 9 the last time 🙁

  18. Rex Lapis
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Payet to Siggy for a hit
    or
    Play with 10 players?

    1. Pompel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Difficult one - if WC'ing before DGW34, I'd say do it , since Swansea got Villa in GW31 also.

    2. Garlana
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Wouldn't take a hit to get rid of payet IMO

    3. King H
      10 years, 7 months ago

      keep payet

    4. foley_fd
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Play with 10

    5. Rex Lapis
      10 years, 7 months ago

      cheers

  19. inter the wild
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Just realised the term 'EPL' might be a tad unfair to Swansea fans.

    Maybe it should be the BPL?

    1. Diva
      10 years, 7 months ago

      That only works for now. Once the sponsorship goes...

      1. Diva
        10 years, 7 months ago

        But I agree with your point re: Swansea

    2. HVT
      10 years, 7 months ago

      But isn't Wales in Ungland?
      (Packs bags and reverses toward door as pack stare and snarl)

    3. Dr. Agabuse
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Yes Barclays Premier League

      1. inter the wild
        10 years, 7 months ago

        I actually meant 'British Premier League' as the default, non-sponsor affiliated name.

  20. S.Kuqi
    10 years, 7 months ago

    If Alli is out for Villa game I just might play with 10 players. There really isn't any other mids that I would want for Alli / Payet.

    Taking a hit for def to play 4-3-3 just feels bit silly.

    1. Piggs Boson
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Same.

      He should be rested in the Europa game though...

      1. Bunk Moreland
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 7 months ago

        He's banned for europe, so gonna sit it out.

        1. Piggs Boson
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Oh yeah, sorted 🙂

          I'm sure the good man Poch will let us know Friday.

  21. Dr. Agabuse
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Imagine there are only 3 more GWs and you need to choose a GK.

    Who is it?

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Schmeichel probably

      1. Dr. Agabuse
        10 years, 7 months ago

        good shout

    2. Jafalad
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Hart

    3. HVT
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Depends on the fixtures real Doc!
      😉

  22. Milner4eva
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Eriksen or Sigurdsson?

      siggy

    2. Shifty
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Eriksen

    3. Prøphet
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Both?

  23. The Mighty Whites
    10 years, 7 months ago

    2FT, 0.6 ITB

    Butland / Myhill

    Monreal / Cahill / Dawson / Fuchs / Smith

    Ozil / Firmino / Payet / Mahrez / Watson

    Aguero / Kane / Ighalo

    Looking threadbare for this week!

    1. Piggs Boson
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Oh dear! Got any moves in mind?

      1. The Mighty Whites
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Was going to do Cahill to Williams and Ighalo to Vardy (this was before last night's games)

        1. Shifty
          10 years, 7 months ago

          suggested sth similar.

        2. Piggs Boson
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Bear in mind that every hit is practically -2pts this week. You could take a couple for -4.

          1. The Mighty Whites
            10 years, 7 months ago

            Eh, how does this work!?

            1. Piggs Boson
              10 years, 7 months ago

              Blankers get 0pts, and if you trade for a starter you're already 2pts up.

              1. The Mighty Whites
                10 years, 7 months ago

                Oh, I get you now!

                What moves would you make then?

                1. Piggs Boson
                  10 years, 7 months ago

                  Firmino, Payet, Ighalo, Dawson -> Some starters?

                  With so many transfers there's endless possibilities...

                  I'd want to keep Ozil.

    2. Shifty
      10 years, 7 months ago

      crap.

      Can you afford Ighalo + Cahill > Vardy + Rangel?

      1. The Mighty Whites
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Yes I could do this

  24. Back on the horse
    10 years, 7 months ago

    What would you do with one of the FT in this?

    Butland
    Williams Alderweireld Daniels Fuchs
    Arnautovic Mahrez Silva
    Agüero Kane Vardy
    Subs: Hennessey Alli Targett Özil
    2FT 3.6m

    I assume one of Alli or Targett will play so I have cover for 11.
    So I can afford to transfer in a DGWer. I might try to keep the WC for after 34

    Arnie to firminio?
    Targett to someone? He is so cheap though

    1. Shifty
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Well that's a luxury transfer alright!

      I would consider Hennessey > Robles if you want a DGWer. will be very useful considering he has 2 DGWs, apparently even a triple GW.

      1. Back on the horse
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers

    2. King H
      10 years, 7 months ago

      with fonte not playing i think targett will play,

  25. DGWjegy
    10 years, 7 months ago

    what needs to happen to have possible tripple gw?

    1. Siva Mohan
      10 years, 7 months ago

      heavy snow all over UK for next 2 weeks?

  26. Wheato182
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Play Francis or Westwood this gameweek???

    1. Milner4eva
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Francis by an absolute mile

      1. Wheato182
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Leaning towards him but getting the defender over midfielder doubts......then again expect nothing more than a 2 pointer from either.

  27. noMoreInternationalBreaks

    Best defender to buy under 5.3

    Butland myhill
    Toby Francis huth ward

    Thanks

    1. King H
      10 years, 7 months ago

      williams

    2. Milner4eva
      10 years, 7 months ago

      If Shawcross is fit, Wollscheid. If not, Williams.

    3. noMoreInternationalBreaks
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Cheers lads. I forgot to mention it's only for the next three.

    4. Piggs Boson
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Wolly's next 3 are nice. 4.5m

  28. Aarono23

    How does this look for a DGW 34 team:

    Butland/Hennesey

    Huth/Kompany/Bellerin/Dier/Daniels

    Antonio/Eriksen/Firmino/Sanchez/Mahrez

    Aguero/Lukaku/Martial

    Can be done with just taking 2 hits between now and GW34.

    Any thoughts? Eriksen to Silva perhaps.

    Thought about Sturridge for Martial but don't think Sturridge will play both games.

    1. noMoreInternationalBreaks
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Too early to comment until we know the fixtures

  29. Dynamic

    10 years, 7 months ago

    Which two to play?

    A) Kompany (nor)
    B) Simpson (NEW)
    C) Wollscheid (SOT)
    D) Arnautovic (SOT)

    1. Wheato182
      10 years, 7 months ago

      A and D

    2. noMoreInternationalBreaks
      10 years, 7 months ago

      B and d

  30. Absinthe Minded
    10 years, 7 months ago

    With only 10 starters is Sanchez to Silva a noBrainer!?
