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.
West Ham (A)/Crystal Palace (H)/Sunderland (A)/ Norwich (H)
vs
Man Utd (H)/Stoke (A)/West Brom (H)/Chelsea (A)
That's the crux of it for early Wild carders.
add in a West Brom (H) into the top one no?
😳
Yes
Note to self: Arsenal v Spurs
Williams: worthy to drop kompany for him on FT? cs against y avl likelyu
1.yes
2.no
The biggest decision of WC will be whether to keep Mahrez or swap to Milner.
Milner: bou / EVE, NEW, swa, WAT/ CHE, wba
Mahrez: WHM, SWA, mun, EVE, cheMilner 2 extra games might pip this one. On PKs as well.
Milner for sure.
Mahrez playing less attacking role (whole leicester team is). Off PK for now, and harder plus less fixtures.
Milner on PK, more games, has been rested (red card ban).
Mahrez will outscore Milner even without DGWs. I'm keeping him in my WC team.
Last 6:
3, 11, 6, 3, 1, 14 = 44
-1, 13, 8, 5, 2, 11 = 38
closer than you think.Sorry both 38.
Milner's now on pens a real bonus.
Ok, What is your SV guys?
Just 103.1 here
105.8
105.1
105.1
103.3
108.8 over here
😯 Well done
SV = squad value right?? or am i completely wrong
107.7 with 1.1 ITBSelling Value
ahhh... 104.7 then 🙂
103 here, I'm screwed....
109.2
Oops that tv, sv ~105.2
106.4m
Really feel the need to keep Mahrez & Alli, anyone else the same?
Not Alli, no.
Mahrez maybe.Antonio a better bet than Alli to finish the season, IMO.
agreed... antonio in after this GW, just not sure who for...
me too... and vardy (i feel like i owe them loyalty for the reward they've given me)
Absolutely no chance.
Mahrez will have sun - WHM - SWA (when they could win the title)
Alli will have MUN - sto - WBA
have so much cash tied up in these two.....
Yes - no way am I bootin' Mahrez.
Mahrez definitely,at least for GW34.
Alli im considering between him, Antonio, and Wijnaldium
Thought on this wc on gw 33?
Will leave 13 dgw players and 9 playing gw 35.

Think Man fixtures even better than Ars for 34 and you have 3 arsenal and no UTD. Sanchez expensive could free up money to upgrade defence
Also LIV have 2 doubles and no blank and nice fixtures through to 38. Eve 3 doubles and just 1 blank and good fixtures to 38. Think more cover on these would be good too.
Did anyone notice that the Black Caps beat gentle India earlier?
Are you still watching cricket? It's a circus. Fixed. I will rather watch c̶h̶o̶c̶o̶l̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶b̶o̶d̶y̶ paint dry.
Lols. I think we are going to win it this time though. 🙂
how do you do the strikethrough text?

Yup, hopefully a early lesson for us
Outspunned 😉
Starting to load up on dgw players . is everyone playing bb or anyone with me on tc?
Best guess on when Eve v Cpl dgw will be. Could it still be in 35 or just wishful thinking? Obviously cannot be the original date but another date falling in GW 35?
Repost
Hey guys, does anyone else think TC in gw34, WC in 36, BB in 37 is the best way to go?
Don't have to lose LEI and TOT players for their good fixtures and can TC Arsenal player in gw 34 with good fixtures instead of using BB.BB in 34 when there is less threat of end of season rotation.
DGW34:
Cech - Elliott
Smalling - Bellerin - Coleman - Janmatt - Ake
Ozil - Firmino - Payet - Mahrez - Antonio
Aguero - Lukaku - Ighalo
0.0m ITB8 x GW35 starters, plus 2 x FTs, plus a hit = 11 😕
ake not worth it with the blank in 35 imo, otherwise that looks gold. plan for 2 ft = 11 in 35
Coleman -> Rojo/Smalldini and you're sorted.
Man U top of the ticker for 34. Is there anyone worth having that week?
DDG, Smallidini, Rojo treble up.
Not exactly cs proof though. 🙁
7 goals conceded in 14 home games. 9 clean sheets.
http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/premier-league/2015-2016/defence/home
I think Robles is a must have really which means a partner with a DGW34 and a fixture in GW35. Cech or Hart surely
Okay judging by my emails a lot of you are having trouble with Google Docs, so here's a screen grab of my ticker.
http://imgur.com/PGEtwLJ
That's gold, thanks as always Balders !
No Palace or WBA worth it for the DGW34?
Im having none of it. Rather have LEI or TOT singletons
If the guy I'm chasing is 24 points ahead of me and has basically copied my team is it best to wildcard early or later?
Does he have WC ?
No wild card but he has TC which I don't have left
If you have a wildcard and he doesn't, happy days! He can't copy -28 points+ worth of moves without giving you his lead! 😀
Don't let 24 pts influence the big calls. You get to make a transfer that he can't copy every single week, and there's always the armband.
Keep running your own race and just maximising points.
Good advice
Finalize my wildcard team just now. feels free
I'm sure you won't touch it anymore.
And by 'it' I mean wildcard team.back to drafting, no UTD cover. fml
Most difficult part of my wc team is to find room for that man united cover too.
Reckon DDG - Mignolet might be the best GK pairing?
STO (33) - AVL/CPL (34) - NEW (35) - then switch one to Adrian wba (36) - SWA/MUN (37) - BOU (38), if DDG or wba (38) if Migs
Stopped reading at mignolet
Sure if you have money for it, I don't.
I'm propably getting one of them + Robles.Yeah, looks good. At least they're both nailed on during the doubles, I don't trust Rojo or Moreno to start every game and Smalling too expensive.
Anyone thought of WCing this week?
got 2 ft so nope . ideally use one, keep two ft for injuries post intl break and take some punts for gw 32
Hmm I would like to keep Siggy and my 3 spurs so it's too soon IMO. Strongly considering next week with the international break and WHU + Arsenal fixtures
Apart from maybe Arsenal and Norwich (!) I don't see any fixture runs involving DGW teams starting this week that could make it worthwhile.
Newcastle, City, West Brom? Everyone's already got Payet and eyeing up Payet.
Nah, best to give KdB more time. Arsenal will prob lose some players tonight, just look at City last night. Not to mention the break coming up.
City's fixture swing has already taken place
Can Newcastle fixture swing?! It's depend on Benetiz I guess and it's too early to tell
West Brom's run comes to a juddering halt in GW33.🙂 Was just seeing if anyone wanted to jump the gun on ditching spurs/leicester assets for a real differential.
You all know how it ends, but for the sake of completeness I have finished the series:
https://fpldiva.wordpress.com/2016/03/16/double-gameweek-planning-part-11/ 😎quick question since you have been keeping tabs
why can't everton-cpl be shifted to gw 35 midweek? ucl?The answer is in the blog post. European fixtures are the reason it isn't there now, but I have a suspicion they might try to negotiate a way around that.
One more part! One more part! One more part!
I want to end it on 11. Maybe extra time?
One more game to go 🙂
2 week punts for gw 33...have 2ft
Lloris
Wolscheid (wat) simpson (cry) williams (AVL)
Alli mahrez sanchez arnautovic
Kane kun vardy
Courtois payet clyne daniels
- don't like my def over next 2 gws
- all attackers have toughish fixtures
A: daniels >> Dawson...next gw will bring in ozil and Belle for WAT
B: other options? Bring in siggy? Lukaku (ARS, utd) thoAnyone keeping Mahrez and Kane through the doubles ? I just can't think of a third striker + fifth mid combo that I'd rather have than these two, even though they don't have doubles.
Feel like all of our recent good work climbing the ranks will be undone if these two score well during GW 33-35 and we sell them prematurely. Ownership is between 70-100 % right now, and I don't see that dropping below 50% come GW 34.
I'm happy with 13DGWers + Kane and MahrezHow about Martial for GW 34.. 2 home fixtures, one against villa
Is an MCI defence no longer worth it with Kompany out?
I'm afraid so
What teams have DGW?
Look at the hot topics
The final Everton fixture is still crucial to making plans. If they end up with a fixture in GW35 that changes everything.
Yes, that holdout fixture is annoying and stymieing effective planning. I hope they resolve it soon!
Yep, double => triple
If it's
Double
Single
Single
Double
for Everton you will probably select different players than if it is
Double
Blank
Double
Double
Everyone will own Lukaku and Robles.
It's just a matter of getting Barkley or not.another DGW would be nice. gives us another TC option.
Not a fan of Barkley, Lennon has been on my mind, any thoughts?
I don't think it's that much of a game changer tbh.. We are all going to get lukaku and maybe Robles because of price. The only decision this might influence is Barkley, who I'm anyway unsure of because of all the midfield options.
Maybe another effect is how many Utd players you can get for GW34 because you won't have to bench lukaku in gw35. Anyway, it's not as crucial as you are making it sound, Ryan.. or am i missing somethingYou are missing something. The blank in GW35 and making sure we have 11 players. It will be a whole lot easier fielding a full team if we can include our 3 Everton players. I'd like to not have to have 5 defenders playing in GW35 if I can help it.
Fair enough - but as things stand I think most of us have the ideo of benching Utd def + Lukaku + Payet in GW35 and playing 4-4-2.
Everton having a game in 35 would make navigating this easier for sureI would like to have Antonio and Ighalo to save costs. Not so viable then. But if my Everton players can play then suddenly I can get Antonio, Ighalo, Payet plus 2 Everton attackers. The entire look of my attack can change.
Agreed, I hadn't considered ighalo/deeney and Antonio as options - and I most likely won't have them in my team for gw34. But yeah I should keep an open mind about this - thanks Ryan
A lukaku triple game week would make triple captain a no brainer. Depending on when the palace game is, he still may the best triple captain option for a double gameweek. Gw 36 would make him a credible triple captain.
Ah, this is an interesting case. It looks like Lukakus fixtures if there's a dgw36 are better than dgw37 and TC might be an option. Thanks for pointing this out TSE !
A question about price changes with regards to wildcarding. Trying to make it understandable.. Assuming a lot are gonna wildcard in GW33, how will this affect prices? Will it be best to start wildcarding right when GW32 fixtures have started and get players in ASAP/know in advance which players you want? And of you throw a player out while wildcarding and you want him back after price rise, you have yo pay a higher price?
Any simple answers/links that explains this greatly appreciated!Transfers with an active wildcard do not impact price changes.
It's always best to activate the very first day so you can try to gain on price changes for players you think will go up but you don't want in the end.
Sell price will always be less than purchase price if said price has gone up since you bought (you get half of all rises).1. If huge numbers wildcard it could dampen price movements
2. Activating early is sensible
3. Yes
do we know why FPL site hasn't updated all DGW matches?...
Lazy bstrds.
They haven't gotten around to it yet. Who knows when they'll finally update it.
Any budget dgw players except elliot, saylor and robles ?
taylor?
*sniggersHe's perfect for bench !?
Olsson, Gabriel, Lingard
Gabriel isn't nailed
Has been starting ahead of Mertesacker for some time now
Olsson is good pick imo
there's bound to be good value in MU def, risky though
Draft Team for GW 34: TP
Elliot (courtouis)
Janmaat Jagielka Bellerin (Huth) (Daniels)
Milner Firminho Silva Özil Payet
Aguero Lukaku( TC ) (Ighalo)
TC Lukaku rather then Kun.....feel he might be rested with CL games comming up.
Draft Team for GW 37: BB
Mignolet Elliot
Cresswell Jagielka Janmaat Daniels Huth
Antonio Payet(c) Milner Firminho Winjaldhom
Aguero Lukaku IghaloThis DGW arrangement actually makes the whole thing relatively simple. Especially to those who still have a WC, BB and TC chips available.
Tinkering about quickly, I was able to come up with a (sorf of) realistic team which is able to
1) play 15 DGW players in GW34;
2) play a full 11 in Gw35;
3) play 11 DGW in GW37 with no hits;
4) have no players from 'unwanted' teams (ie Palace, Sunderland, Norwich, etc)
Cech - Robles*
Smalling* - Bellerin - Sakho - Sagna - Evans
Firmino - Coutinho - Yaya - Ozil -Wijnaldium
Kun - Lukaku* - Martial*
*indicates on the bench on GW35
And with planned transfer of
GW34 - save FT
GW35 - Kun to Costa
GW 36 - Yaya to Barkley
GW 37 - Ozil Bellerin to Payet Creswell
You'll have this on GW37
Robles
Smalling - Sakho - Creswell
Firmino - Coutinho - Barkley - Payet
Costa - Lukaku - Martial
Especially if Everton TGW is in GW37, you'll have 3 of their assets.
By all means this is just for tinkering purposes and most probably theres plenty of players who are not nailed on/injured/too crap to consider anymore. Been out of date since the beginning of my backpack trip around Europe.
And no thats not my team or some satan spawn kind of way for a cheeky RMT. I think theres few other players who might outscore the DGWs (im looking at you 3 from our current league leaders 😉Turd time in last 10 hours I've read this.
🙄Oh oops been sleeping that long so Im lost. Delete pls this mod 😉
😉
I think you need 3 arsenal players for dgw34 alexis
Alexis is pulling a Hazard currently so not sure about that. And this is not my team.
If you want to fit in Alexis you can always go Coutinho - Alexis and downgrade elsewhere. Martial to Rashford maybe, or Smalling to Sagna
Oh thats the easy part. The hard part is selecting the right players with the best fixtures, selling and buying at the right time.
For instance I wouldn't be a fan of selling Kun so early
Personally yes. Im not letting go of Kun that early in my actual team.
This is just an extreme example of doing that.
I'll be looking to ship Kun on GW37
Cresswell and Payet are good additions in 37 but I would not lose Ozil and Bellerin for them. Gw 38 ARS home to AVL..Also ditching Aguero on 35 does not seem sensible. Your plan from gw35 onwards seems abit too quantity focused..
Most people still have wildcard and chips available at this stage of the season?
Just over half the top 10K have their Wildcard and Triple Captain available. Just over 40 per cent can bench boost.
