Double Gameweeks 34 and 37 Announced

looks less appealing when you start with newcastle

GWK 33 wildcard, GWK 34 bench boost, GWK 37 triple captaincy looks the best so far. What do you think?

*Fetches pen and paper. Gets calculator out of draw #oldschool

Option 1 for me

The sky game is going to be crazy, transfers can make a huge difference

I think the goals might dry up in gw37. Might consider using TC in gw34 rather than gw37.

Sunderland might be defensively good in gw37.
Norwich will park the bus in gw37 to fend off Watford and Man Utd, and mainly to battle against relegation.

Gotta see if Lei will wrap up their season before gw37 which affects Lukaku's prospects.

It's christmas day all over again!
It has always been WC 33 BB 34 for me personally and this confirms it.
Lukaku, Payet and a Man U defender/Gk on the bench for gw35

Lukkakakaaaa triple (c) GW37 ftw !!!!!

Needs a lot of thought, but likely WC33, BB34 and TC37.

For the GW35 issue, if we wildcard in gw33, and roll the GW34 free transfer, we can then have 2 free transfers going into gw35. If we take for example triple Liverpool, double city and double Arsenal + 2ft that's already 9 players for gw35.

Then if like me, people are going to keep two single gameweek players for the DGW (e.g Mahrez and Kane) then that's 11 for gw35.

However, if people are wanting a full 15 for GW35 bench boost then doing the same as the example above (triple Liverpool, double city and double Arsenal) plus one Newcastle and West Brom player, it is certainly possible to ride gw35 whilst still fielding a strong team.

If I can get 9 DGW in 34 without hits, my current thinking is it doesn't make sense to wildcard for that one, and I should go for the Wildcard GWK36 strategy.

What would Andrew WK do?

How come all the dgw's you have mentioned for week 34 have not been confirmed on the fixtures list in the actual game? It says only 2 extra matches gw34??

3 city. 3 pool. 3 arsenal. 2 West Bromwich. 2 Everton. Payet. Mahrez.

That's my wild card 15 right there.

WC in 33, BB in 34 and TC in 37.

3 LIV, 3 ARS and 3 MCI to have 9 players with DGW 34 and no 35 blank. Perhaps Elliott as well for his price and DGW 34 + no blank 35. 2 FT for 35 should Ensure 11 players in 35 + possibility of extra transfer for injury/suspension.
3 EVE players for their 3 DGW's who will remain on the bench in 35.

Just 2 extra places left then. Easy 🙂

I may be missing something....But is there a banana skin of a rubbish GW 33 on the cards? Haven't looked at the fixtures to much, but in stock piling on the DGW players a week early seems like it needs even more planning to factor in 33 also.(Man UTD away at Spurs for example - not sure I want 3 payers for that one) ...... goes to a dark corner of a dark room and dribbles.

is it worth to sell aguero to fund gw34?

Finally 🙂

wouldnt want 3 newcastle players in, even for dgw, and getting stuck with them,as you say, its also avoiding the gw35 blank, and also i will still keep a couple of sgw players, imagine if you dont plan for gw35 have 3 eve, 3 wham, 3 utd etc ! good luck all

When does the ticker get updated Jonty?

Going to leave this here.

Pros of 33WC

- Go with FFS
- Less rotation
- Cant punt without worry in GW 31,32,33
- Possible TC for triple GW in Lukaku in 37
- Lesser chances of rotation

Pros of 37 WC

- Can already get 10 out for 34. Current planning goes to waste
- Differential final chance to get boost in rankings
- Better TC options in 34 with Kun, Arsenal and United fixtures
- Will get 3 optimum Everton players if its an Everton Triple GW (basically will have one Lukaku less)
- Possible team combo
3 WHM (SWA, MUN) - Will almost certainly have 4th/5th spot to play for. Don't see much rotation
3 MUN (nor whm) - Could have 5th to play for
3 EVER - Probably DGW
3 SUN - Could be fighting for their lives. Hello Defoe + Khazri + PVA
4 from LIV and WAT (Clyne/Mignolet, Firmino, Ighalo - less prone to rotation)

And this.

Current Squad with DGWers marked in Caps

butland mccarthy
BELLERIN williams targett fuchs
OZIL FIRMINO SILVA mahrez alli
AGUERO kane vardy

Have 5FTs and 1M to play with. I went reverse and added the players i want/could have

Gives me this for 34. Sort off.

De Gea
Bellerin Clyne Fuchs (Williams Targett)
Ozil Silva Sanchez Firmino (Alli)
Aguero Martial Rashford

Gives me a 35 team of

Butland
Bellerin Clyne Fuchs (Williams Targett) (all five defenders playing in 35)
Ozil Sanchez Silva Firmino Alli
Aguero (Martial Rashford)

With 1FT to convert Martial to Kane.

Means i can now go all in with a GW36 WC.

This is is a first draft plan. Seem reasonable folks?
With a current draft of DGWers that i would definitely want in my WC - Firmino, Ozil, Bellerin and Aguero and one doubtful one that i am carrying - Silva, seems like a waste to use a WC in 33.
