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.
Fpl down
Working ok for me now.
Poor GW 36. Nobody cares about you. Actually some nice matchups that week. 4 hours straight and still not sure on first draft team.
DGW are in!!!
Makes life easier.
For those who do not have any WC left like me...the best would be try to load on Liv, Ars and City players since they don't have a blank week in WK35. Rotating WH, Eve and Utd players might be fruitful too. Chelsea's season is probably over hence questions about their motivation. What about those Lei and TOT players to keep? Some of the possible players that I might bring in on FT or hits over the next 4 weeks.
Hart Butland
Fonte Williams Huth Monreal Toby (Rojo, Moreno Sakho Valencia)
Arnie Silva Siggy Mahrez Ali (Ozil Walcott Firmino Coutinhno Milner Lennon Barkley Antonio Payet)
Vardy Aguero Kane (Lukaku Welbeck Martial Giroud)
Will probably save more 1 FT until after the international break just in case any further injuries
Are these the teams that have DGW 34?
Liverpool
Everton
Arsenal
City
West Brom
Newcastle
West Ham
Man U
Watford
Crystal Palace
Yes
I dont have any WC left,
Should i sell Dier and Arnie to Clyne and Firmino now?No. Its only GW31
What are people's WC GK pairings?
Looks to be Mignolet/Robles vs DDG/Elliot for me.
The 0.5m saving and a better GW35 (Migs - NEW, Elliot - liv) has me swaying towards the former.
But AVL, CPL...
Robles plus someone with a great DGW34 and a game in GW35. Cech and Hart stand out
Cech/Adrian would be the dream Hart/Robles is my more realistic pair. Then again I could cheap out on Elliot/Robles
Elliot + Robles for me. Counting on save points
And what about DGW 37? Which one of your 2 keepers has better fixture? Or are you BB in 37?
😉
Robles/mignolet
Looking at Cech, Adrian
Would you rather play:
Elliot (SWA, MCI)
or
Gomes (whu, wba)
Gomes imo
Play one >>
a/ VVD
b/ Huth
c/ Daniels
Tobby - Williams - XB
Okay no replies on the last page, but really is no one with me on the 13 DGWers + Kane+ Mahrez train?
Let's hold on to Kane and Mahrez comfort blankets over GW33-35. High ownership, explosive, best FPL assets from teams with high motivation, bonus potential, etc. Doesn't make sense throwing them away for the likes of Martial/Ighalo and Milner/Wijnaldum
BB34. Imagine Ighalo with 4 pts and Kane on 6 or 9 pts
I guess we're saying the same thing ? Ighalo might not score enough with a double 34 and blank 35 (even if you can bench him and find an alternative for 35).
Better to just hold on to Kane
Unless something changes between now and gw33 i will definitely keep Kane, but mahrez needs to start picking up points again ir I will ditch him.
But then, i have already ditched mahrez once this season and only.bought him back after tough fixtures, so his selling price is not an issue for me...Agreed, Kane almost certainly stays for me too. Leicester tightening up has definitely affected Mahrez points, but he has the ability to return double digit hauls and at that level of ownership is dangerous. If I do sell him I won't buy him back for sure, so buyback price is no longer a factor really
I am!! A least for now this is my plan...
Good to know we're in this together! 🙂
I'm thinking the same.. The way Spurs are playing I can easily see Kane getting more points on a SGW than Ighalo/Martial DGW.
Absolutely. Especially considering both ighalo and Martial blank in gw35 so you either have to bench them for a defender (assuming you are also benching Payet, maybe even lukaku)
Or you have to transfer them out.
What to do with this team?
Get rid of Kompany or bench him and change something else?
Butland Hennessey
Bellerin Alderweireld Kompany VVD Simpson
Özil Payet Mahrez Sigurdsson Alli
Aguero Kane Vardy
FT: 1, ITB: 1.4, WC, BBWhen do you plan on WC? Might be worth a punt on WBA defenders like dawson if he has recovered
WC either GW33 or GW36 (before DGW). Probably GW33.
Go for WBA defenders then...they play NOR and SUN next
WBAs fixtures looks promising.
Any other good options for Kompany?I went with Ivan 😀 Not saying you should but it might be a nice punt because of the villa game on GW32. Can see him getting a haul there.
I dont have any WC left,
Should i sell Dier and Arnie to Clyne and Firmino now?Do you have two FT this week? I'd save one for now - mayne just get firmino as dier has a decent fixture this week
Even consdering Silva -> Alexis as soon as this GW. But Silva has bou and WBA after.
Ugh.
This would mean comprising 1 more DGWers and going in with 9 instead of 10 DGWers. And keeping Mahrez and Alli. But Silva's fixtures.
I am predicting Arsenal to go on a run since they have no other competition to play in.And Arsenal always go on that late run for ucl spot
Yeah they've gotta put up a fight in the prem now. Can't have spurs finishing above them.
not WC in GW33?
Currently on 36.
that because of the blanks in 35 ? 😉
And that i can 10 for 34 without hits.
how many dgw players could you get in GW37 if you WC GW33 though? does it work out better for you or worse
10 😀
But i prefer Alexis TCno payet no party not tempting? 😉 GW37...
I'll gamble.
How does your possible gw34 looking ? I'm in a similar situation like you, thinking about wcing gw 36.
Using FTs I can get something like this:
Mignolet
Otamendi Bellerin Fuchs
Payet Coutinho Firmino Ozil
Aguero Lukaku Martial
Can't really fit in Sanchez myself..
Its annoying, isn't it. We all want lukaku, but do we bring him in now when he has arsenal this week and vardy and kane have palace and Bournemouth respectively?
His price looks due to change soon. I would have to use both FTs to bring him in, when I think it would be more fun to punt until wildcard gw33
Current team:
Gomes, elliot
Dann, alderweireld, fonte, simpson, Smith
Silva, alli, mahrez, sanchez, firmino
Kane, lukaku, vardy
Could do silva + vardy > payet + lukakuAnyone else looking at playing the fixtures and going DDG Martial Rashford?
Looking at DDG, Smalling and perhaps Martial but doubling up on United attack is crazy.
Fair. Defensive triple up is a better option.
Might do a crazy DDG, Smalling, Rojo!
I think United will score goals.
Can't see that right now 🙁 But if you really believe that, Martial is enough.
🙂
definitely considering one or the other
Defensively, who do we think is better? Arsenal or United?
Both are terrible, but I believe Arsenal have a better defense when Koscielny comes back.
Hart, Henn
Targett, Wollscheid, Bellerin, Huth, Dier
Ozil, Arnautovic, Sigurdsson, Alli, Mahrez
Vardy, Kane, Aguero
2FT, 1.6 ITB
My squad looks decent for this GW 31.
No WC available, 3 other chips still there.
Should I start bringin in DGW players from now?yes of course, what a stupid question
maybe targett or wolly
to who?
Yes
Yes. Start with one transfer only. Whoever of your midfielder that is planned to be benched this week to Lingard maybe?
I want to WC in 36. Have 2FTs and 1M in the bank. Can you see a DGW34 friendly transfer in there except for McCarthy -> Robles?
Butland Mccarthy
Bellerin** Toby Williams Fuchs Targett
Ozil** Firmino** Silva** Alli Mahrez
Aguero** Lukaku KaneSorry its Aguero Vardy Kane.
Definitely do McCarthy to Robles and save
One of your keepers certainly to someone who has a double
Or target to a Watford, West Bromwich or palace defender
Firmino and Silva in there already, you look pretty well set.
Are people really getting rid of marez in their wild card
Really
If you got him at the start? Surely losing a fortune and he still has some great fixtures!I will in gw 33 unless he starts picking up points in the next two weeks. But unlike most, i don't lose a lot of value if I sell him
Leicester are only grinding out results now. Could be a convenient and canny time to sell
I wouldn't get rid of him because i think he has very good points potential in the fixtures to come.
However, I don't think selling price is an issue anymore, unless you plan to buy him back before the end. In fact from a purely money point of view, it makes sense to sell him so you can "release" the 1 mil profit you made by holding him from the start. You could use that profit to invest in new players. Just don't do this if you want to get him back again in gw35 or something.
So BB vs TC is essentially
16 x 2 = 32 players vs. 10 x 2 + 3 x 2 = 26 players
Correct?
Well no...
Yes, except that (potentially) you'd captain your best player, so his x2 is of more weightage than x2 of your bench players...
No.
BB is 15 players + captain so 16 players.
TC is 11 players + triple captain so 13 players.
?Ohh oops, forgot about the DGWs. Yeah I guess, if you put it your way.
Yes, and x2 because one would assume all of them would play both games (unless you keep Kane/Mahrez of course).
Yep
all playing twice though
Yeah figured that 🙁
I saw after I posted 🙂
Odds are some of the BB team will miss 1/2 fixtures through injury, rotation, dropped.
will KOmpany (see what i did there? 😉 )likely be back before the DGW?
Will you still WC and BB if you can field 10 DGW players for GW 34 without any hit along the way?
I guess i should stick with my plan of TC on GW 34 as my team have 6 x DGW 34 players already. I need to use 4 FTs only to get 10 DGW'ers + Mahrez?I need 12 or 13 DGW, so I will WC and BB in DGW 34
Morning all. Just a couple of questions if you could help.
1) Just for next GW, pick 3 from:
a) Monreal (Everton away)
b) Clyne/Sahko (Southampton away)
c) Simpson (Palace away)
d) Daniels (Spurs away)
e) VVD (Liverpool home)
-
2) Who is looking like the best triple captain shout from either gw34 or 37? I am thinking Sanchez, Martial or Aguero at the moment.ABC
I like Payet GW37bce
Sanchez, Aguero, Lukaku or Smalling.Wow I'm not the only one considering Smalling 🙂 😉
Guys, keep Mahrez and Kane, maybe Alli. Then have 12 DGW and use BB. Here is the perfect plan to get maximum points. Quality> Quantity
Smart. But these people are adamant.
Agree, just posted the same thing above. Would keep K and M but maybe not Alli, let's see. I'm with you on the balance between quality and quantity argument
Blatant happy brag warning. Big green arrow up to 120 OR, became #1 in Finland and now finally get to geek out with a spreadsheet and and a cup of tea and work out these dgw's and chips. Fun fpl times.
You're lying!!
Well done, must be nice to be kicking Ronkas ass in his homeland! That is unless you are him.
Haha, no, I'm not even from Finland. Just joined it because my name is fin.
You can win this if you play it right 🙂
I'll just keep going for max points as I have all season and see what happens. Thanks for all the research balders.
Tea? Finland?
That story doesn't sound right man 😉Got me. Finnish league, Irish tea, living in Tasmania on the other side of the world
Okay, I need a help using a transfer here. Ideally, I'd save - but then, I have 2 of them and can't pick short-term differentials because I am not planning on using my WC before DGW34.
So, my team currently is:
Butland, Ruddy,
van Dijk, Bellerin, Otamendi, Nyom, Huth,
Ozil, Mahrez, Sigurdsson, Arnautovic, Alli,
Aguero, Vardy, Kane.
1.0m in the bank.
***Any better options than change the keeper?Same situation Saniul. I'm thinking Silva -> Alexis to keep Alli + Mahrez and reduce a DGWer
😀Yes, I do not have the liberty myself, and with 5 transfers to burn before DGW, I can't afford selling a DGWer. 😀
Would you rather have:
A) DDG (AVL, CPL)
or
B) Cech (CPL, WBA)I'd want to have defence from both teams, but since United has no decent defender to pick, I'd go DDG.
Hmm. I'm on Cech,Adrian currently but there is more option in the ArSenal defence than Uniteds.
Cheers guys.
with Martial and Rashford in 34, its a fair assumption that United could score 3 goals over AVL and CPL.
Assuming i do the forward double up, i'm expecting a 60% share of their goals atleast.
Thats close to 2 goals and 2 assists. For my DGW forwards.
I'll take it.I'd be very scared to go into the DGW without Lukaku and Aguero. So potentially for me, only one spot is open, so I'd pick Rashford out of the two.
🙂
Still no Lukaku I see.
Well it seems like youve made up your mind. Its really hard to seek confirmation here with no Lukaku.
But then agaim everybody was laughing at your Giroud pock few seasons ago and it worked out well for you
There should be a competition here for the gutsiest (dumbest) TC that comes off. Alberto could come back into the frame.
Thoughts on the Cech/Ruddy combo? (Don't have BB)
GW34: CPL, WBA
GW35: sun
GW36: NOR
GW37 (Ruddy): MUN, WATdecent enough, don't waste unnecessary FTs on keepers.
Gonna be on my WC 🙂 No FTs needed.
If only Gabriel is nailed on... team would be 15/10 😉
