In spite of a five-match Gameweek, there’s still plenty to pore over in our first members’ article of the week. We cast an eye over City’s troubles on the road, Bournemouth’s upturn in output, Marko Arnautovic’s home comforts and the contrasting fortunes of Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy up front in recent matches.
Best Kompany replacement?
Other defenders are Bellerin, Daniels, Huth, Williams. I'm primarly looking for a 3 GW punt before GW 34 WC.
Cheers 🙂
GW33 or 34?
Well, I guess I would WC in GW 33 so I could BB in GW 34.
So it should really say GW 33 😛It's only 2 GWs then.
Anyone playing Villa is a start.
Ticker over next 2 says WBA, NOR and SWA are best.Doubling up on Swansea defence could be quite the differential. hmmm.
I'm in the same boat and strongly considering Ivanovic, for what it's worth.
same with me - thinking azpi, or wba.
Hi Guys,
Bellerin or smalling ?
Bellerin has a dgw n 34 and plays gw 35. Also good fixtures and is good for baps and goal threat.
Smalling has 2 dgws but blanks n gw 35
which is best pick?
tnks
Bellerin
Bellerin
does anyone know if Pato will make his debut whilst costa is suspended, im hoping putting him in for the aston villa game may be worth a punt before i use my WC for GW34 prep if he doesnt play i'd be covered just wanted your thoughts?
Thoughts on Lingard as a DGW asset?
Can be benched until GW37 and gives you no benching headache.
Decent option or clutching at straws? Why did he only play 14mins vs Watford?Definitely one worth monitoring
wheen is rooney due back?
Out at least another month.
Pain for GW35.
Bench him in 35 and 36. DGW37 again
Benching 2 attackers in 35 at least isn't great.
That;s true.
But you're likely to have Luk + Payet who already make 2 attackers.There's 3 then.
Jip. Probably not going to get him (Lindgard)
Kompany >
A) Williams
B) Ivanovic
C) BellerinA if you have your WC.
C if you don't.
My first go at this for 34 and Bench Boost
Robles Elliot
Rojo Targett Olsson CPL 4.5 Monreal
Firminio Yaya Payet Maherez Ozil
Lukaku Kane Aguero
- Would like more Man u
- Targett is an enabler, good idea?
- Getting rid of Kane is the main choice i feel, load of cash if he goes to a Man u/ Watford striker?
Please tear apart as you feel nessisary
Don't think Rojo and Targett play both games, which will defeat your purpose anyway... get S.Taylor instead IMO.
Yes, Martial ahead of Kane is the option for maximising BB, but then again, it is indeed a risk to go without him - same with Mahrez!Cheers. Kane out for one week then back maybe the move. Allows Targett right up and Rojo
I am actually considering a GW37 bench boost.
Yes, there are 15 players I'd theoretically want for the DGW, but I'd not be able to afford them. Plus, I'm not exactly excited about selling almost 100% ownership players like Mahrez and Kane so early.
So, firstly, I have Ozil, Bellerin, Otamendi, Nyom, Aguero, Payet - that's six players with a double in GW34, plus I have five more transfers until GW34 - so that's an XI for the DGW already - Through in a hit here and there, and you have one good team...
Also, I think I can field a XI for GW35, so WC GW36 and then BB GW37 where teams like Sunderland could actually enable me to have 15 players.
I'm not 100% sure yet, but this has got me thinking.Well planned by you to get into a situation where you have a 50/50 split.
Yes, I've got to worry about people who are not exactly FFS-oriented - they will have their share of Mahrez, Kane and Vardy going into GW34, and a haul from them when I don't have them won't exactly cover me in glory.
Agree with keeping somem Tot and Lei (see above), on WC will prob hold Kane and Mahrez
Yes, those are the same players I am thinking about...
In case I don't play Bench Boost, a front 8 of.
Firmino, Ozil, Sanchez/Payet, Lingard, (Mahrez),
Aguero, Lukaku, Kane/Martial.
could be my choice.
Think you could genuine wait with 6 there already, personally only have 3 so WC has to happen. When would you triple captain?
GW 34 it has to be I guess
Yes, I have to go with one chip or the other - so TC has to happen then (Already have Sanchez, Ozil, Lukaku and Aguero in mind).
I think with your rank it's best you play it safe.
Maybe WC and keep Kane and Mahrez? BB could push you to an even higher rank.
Or WC and lose Kane for a week and get him back for 35.But then I am thinking... With Leicester's difficult fixtures in GW37 and 38, if I had to go all in with Bench Boost, I could do that, then. And since I can get 11 players now anyway, and have Kane/Mahrez/extra keeper, so I'll have the option of both BB and TC for GW34 even when I don't play the WC.
I know. You're in a nice position.
Just saying that WCing in 33 could give you an even BIGGER advantage over rivals if played correctly. You can even keep Kane and Mahrez like stated above, and get in some differentials .Yes, that is indeed an option too, but I should decide that by the end of this week, because if I do, then I can get differentials in for next week, or otherwise, I'll have to build my team.
How many DGWers can you get for 34 with just FT's?
I see, 11. Yeah you can go for it. Although looking at the teams with DGW's in 37, not many will have something to play for so rotation could be a real issue.
11 yes, as long as Otamendi gets fit.
btw why isn't the rest of the dgw scheduled fixtures not showing on the fpl page? where can i find them on the fpl page if anyone knows?
Who else is on Cech for DGW34? Should be back by then right?
Bellerin Alexis Ozil for me.
DDG in goalKos & Ozil my others, wouldn't be able to afford Alexis without a reshuffle & a double up on Arsenal Def looks good. Alexis could smash it though!
If WCing get Alexis.
If not get CechDifficult to do on current draft, but you got me thinking abut doubling up on Arse mid at least, although Alexis hasn't exactly been on fire this season, with those fixtures he could be a great differential with only 10% ownership, his form looks on the up also so could explode
Well, this Kompany news is the clincher.
GW33 WC!Conceivably he might be alright by GW34 if you can carry him
This is way too funny not to share.
WHEN FIFA IS LIFE 😆
Natasha: Fifa is out soon, I'll no doubt be getting ditched for a while 😉
Steven: You're quite right baby!!!
Natasha: I'll slyly give the disc a wee scratch 😉 haha
Steven: I'll break your legs.
In Doha for business trip. Richard Keys and Andy Gray right opposite of me having breakfast in hotel.
I feel so happy about for some reason 😀Ask them who to buy for DGW.
Are they commenting on the waiter saying it should be a woman's job?
Can someone explain to me which teams have a DGW and which teams have a blank in the near future?
DGW34 - Bench Boost
Robles - Elliot
Bellerin - Rojo - Mori - Moreno - PVA
Sanchez - Ozil - Payet - Firmino - Barkley
Lukaku - Aguero - Rashford
4 Everton? Robles Mori Barkley Luk
Mori > Dawson
Is Rashford nailed?
You have 6 players with blanks GW35. Start over.Sorry 7*
RIP me
7 blanks in GW35.
Decent, but dont like Rashford/ Elliot/ Double EVE def/ PVA?
Trying to fit in both Alexis & Aguero is just too much to get out a strong 15DGW players. Looks like need to sacrifice one.
Not really. Lots of cheap options around those 2.
And end up worth aterrible team for the remaini g weeks
see above?
Guys best option here? Have 1 Ft
A. Wij > siggy
B. Kompany > williams
C. Both for a hit
Courtois
Toby Morgan vvd
Ozil Mahrez alli wij
Kane kun vardy
Boruc arnie Dann kompany
Kos or Bellerin?
Belly
GW34:
Mignolet - Elliott
Smalling - Bellerin - Coleman - Janmatt - Sakho
Ozil - Firmino - Payet - Mahrez - Alli (might become another DGW player)
Aguero - Lukaku - Ighalo
GW35
Bench Ighalo - Payet - Lukaku, 2 x FTs for Smalling & Coleman to somebody to 11
No over the moon, but thoughts?I've got almost the identical plan Jaffa and I'm personally quite happy with it.
Players that I'd consider also: Antonio, Wijnaldum, Yaya / Silva, another Arsenal?Alli (or his replacement) will become Antonio for DGW37 100%, but for DGW34 1 x hammer is enough for me, esp as they have a blank.
Yaya & Silva, just don't have the cash/room or inclination, I don't think. They might be knee deep in CL. The most appealing thing is WBA (33) and STO (35). If KdB is back, no idea how I would squeeze him in....
I like it .. Clyne over sakho may be
Agreed, will if I can afford in couple weeks time :razz;
But my Tv is cr@p....
I have similar, a weaker bench to fit KDB in. But good side you've got, more balance.
Defence not bench, not sure why I wrote that!
If everything is planning to bench boost GW34, then who are your TC options in GW37? Firmino? Lukaku?
Europe league and Fa would affect that imo
Defoe
Man Utd are totally wasted on this DDGW/BB/TC run in......DDG/Smalling is about my limit.
If I need funds I might join you with Ighalo/Deeney but for now, I reckon MUN could score a couple. Therefore, I've went with Martial.
Agreed Ighalo > Martial might be a change I'll consider if funds available.
However doubt I'll have any spare cash and tbh Martial hardly fills me with a huge amount of confidence...UTD attack as a whole doesn't fill me up with ANY confidence. However, it is (AVL,CPL) 😀
But who will play?
LvG has so far used 30 players this season (2 x GK, 11 x defs, 13 x mids!!, 4 x fwds). looks like a total no go for me....Good point. Inclined to agree with you.
Denny over Ighalo maybe? Pens and all...Deeney*
Agreed
So Kompany no longer a DGW option? Obviously recurring injury and not worth the risk esp two games in quick succession, esp as priority will be CL?
What you reckon HY, Kompany worth the risk?
nope .
Agree...which basically rules out City def (except Hart) unless Clichy gets injured and then full steam ahead on Kollywobbles....
they are playing for nothing now and without komps. vs New ( playing for their lives) and Chelsea A .. even hart may not worth it ... but i like the kollywobbles case
GW34
Cech - Robles
Sakho - Fuchs - Bellerin - Rojo - Janmaat
Firmino - Barkley - Antonio - Sanchez - Coutinho
Aguero - Lukaku - Martial
GW35
Martial -> Defoe and Antonio -> Willian. Bench: Lukaku - Rojo - Barkley
GW37
Bellerin -> PvA/Azpi and Sanchez -> Anyone Bench: Fuchs - Janmaat - Aguero
No Ozil, No Leicester attack, No Spurs, No Payet is the only downside I see. Could I get some thoughts?what ? no payet .. but you love him
😀 Maybe Martial -> Ighalo and upgrade Antonio.
this or Sanchex→Ozil .. his ownership might hurt you
and btw I don't like the Rojo pick 😀
If I do Sanchez -> Ozil I can easily do Rojo -> Smalling
Any particular reason you don't like him, other than him being injury prone?attacking returns too Smallidini/DDG the way to go imo
Cheers HY
Good to have an outline but no plan I have made this season has held together for 5 or 6 weeks
Exactly, mostly a baseline to refer to which can be edited with injuries, players suddenly picking up form, Everton's fixture vs Palace, etc.
Big issue is getting a DGW34 team that works in 33.
Daniels - Fonte/VvD - Lei Def - Mahrez - Vardy all have good fixtures...I've currently got this:
Robles(wat)
Sakho(STO) Fuchs(sun) Bellerin(whm)
Firmino(STO) Coutinho(STO) Sanchez(WAT) Barkley(wat)
Aguero(WBA) Lukaku(wat) Martial(tot)/Antonio(MUN)
I think it's ok, but no fireworks by any means. It is what it is I guess 😕
Are we all forgetting young Kevin in our DGW plans??
Two away DGW games put me off
Against Newcastle though ... remember what happened last time?
Oh yes I do 😀
Didn't own any City attack that week, disaster.
2 away fixtures in DGW!
Good morning DZ!
Good morning, Dr!
Morning.
Any potential 36 WCers out here?
Saniul above.
That is what I'm currently leaning towards.
I was hopeful but think Kompany may have thrown a spanner. Won't be thinking about it until all matches played this week. If still a possibility will prob swap Kompany out for WBA def, if not then Williams perhaps.
Do fancy the latter option of the 2.o/
That Everton fixture.
Alexis TC?Who do you have currently for 34?
Me. Don't like the idea of tearing a form team to bits with 5 weeks to go
Help please?
A) Play Forster and save FT
or
B) Forster to FabianskiAll depends on the long term plan, if you're WCing soon then you might as well use the transfer
yep wc 33 is the plan
DZ, who are you captaining this GW?
Kane.
Anyone else tempt you?
Kane, hattrick in reverse fixture and this is where I brought him in 😀
I wanna say Sergio but I don't know anymore.
Probably Kane.Probably Kane but I don't know. Will decide on Saturday morning.
Just toying around with teams.
DDG, Elliot
Bellerin, Sakho, PVA, Olsson, Simpson
Alexis, Ozil, Firmino, Antonio, Mahrez/ Milner
Kun, Lukaku, Martial
Back line looks ugly but rotates quite well.
Assuming I make no changes at the back:
DGW34 BB
GW35: NEW(H), SUN(A), SWA(H)
GW36: NOR(H), SWA(A), STO(A)
DGW37: WAT(H)/CHE(H), BOU(A), EVE(H)
GW38: AVL(H), WAT(A), WBA(A)
How's this look?I'd want to have Payet over those last five games, though. Actually someone in decent form, and with a team that will surely have something to play for (top four a real possibility now).
If Rafa can turn Newcastle around, bargains galore there!!
Anyone reckon he'll allow Janmatt to continue to be so attacking? Don't know FSW's style....I have to catch up on highlights.
was thinking that way but may wait one/two weeks for this
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2016/03/15/the-big-numbers-gameweek-30-4/?hc_page=8#hc_comment_12912971Agree...
Ramsey? Walcott?
Imagine a couple seasons ago with DGW (CPL, WBA) both would make every team....esp with SUN & NOR straight after...
Will Caz be back?Alexis. Ozil. Bellerin.
All in for me.
And Alexis (TC).Arsenal are not in any other competition.
