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.
Many thinking Aaron Lennon for the DGW?
Only three people and two of them are stark raving bonkers.
Scored in 4 of his last 5.. looks a good value option to me.
His last 5 or Everton's last 5?
Everton's last 5 PL games
For members

Summary: He's either a ruthlessly efficient striker now, or very fortunate.
As I recall from his Spurs days, he can go from being brilliant for a few weeks to being P*** poor in a matter of weeks, thats the concern with him.
What to do with this team?
Butland Hennessey
Bellerin Alderweireld Kompany VVD Simpson
Özil Payet Mahrez Sigurdsson Alli
Aguero Kane Vardy
FT: 1, ITB: 1.4, WC, BB- DGWK Players Longlist
Before we get knuckled down in a gameweek 34 "template", let's cast our net wide.
Liverpool: Mignolet, Moreno, Sakho, Milner, Lallana, Hendo, Firmino, Coutinho, Studger
Everton: Robles, Coleman, Mori, Barkley, Mirallas, Lennon, Lukaku
Arsenal: Cech, Kosc, Bellerin, Gabs, Mert, Ramsey, Walcott, Ozil, Sanchez, Welbeck
City: Hart, Sagna, Clichy, Kompany, Silva, KdB, YYT, Sterling, Nasri, Aguero
West Brom: Foster, JOlsson, JEvans, Dawson, McAuley, Gardner, Rondon, Berahino
Newcastle: Elliot, Saylor, Janmaat, Wijnaldum, Shelvey, Sissoko, Perez, Mitrovic
West Ham: Adrian, Cresswell, Ogbonna, Payet, Antonio, Lanzini, Noble, Sakho
Man U: DDG, Smalling, Rojo, Mata, Lingard, Depay, Herrera, Martial, Rooney, Rashford
Watford: Gomes, Prodl, Ake, Nyom, Cathcart, Watson, Ighalo, Deeney
Crystal Palace: Hennessey, McCarthy, Dann, Ward, Bolasie, Zaha, Wickham, Adebayor
no Clyne???
He's allergic to bonus points and there's cheaper out there. I did think of him but was trying to keep each team to one line.
Clyne is the most nailed on player in that back line apart from Migs....
No Monreal?
Beautiful! Good work sir
That's a long list. Maybe needs a bit of structure.
This. Great list of players but how does this help?
Hopefully it gets people thinking outside the box a bit.
Oh ok. It just confuses me more with the sheer number of players there!
I'm not here to spoonfeed everyone the same 15 players, how tedious would that be?
Very, assuming any go with your suggestions
Any of these names above I can see having a decent dgw34 depending on circumstance.
Nasri??????
😀
He'll be back from injury and always does well when given game time. If KdB takes longer than expected or Silva has ankle problems still, it could fall into place for him. It's a long shot but he has potential.
definite longshot. KdB will be back. Nasri will be the impact sub lol
2 double gameweeks in 2013/14 and he walked away with 15 and 12 points from them. A goal and 3 assists across four matches.
Nasri usually takes time to find form after an injury.
I had him for those. But with KdB, Silva, Sterling, Navas all fit. I can't picture him being an 180-minute man during dgw.
Has he even played yet? He looks like a wanna-be Beiber.
Poor Gru
What happened to him ?
Name was too long to fit on the line
Skrtel back very soon
Monreal over Gabriel surely?
No love for Jagielka?
That's the spirit! Now how do I get Jafooli to edit him in?
Otamendi too?
This is also a reference post for every time I hear the word "template" in the next month.
Haha good one
is Borthwick worth a shout by then? he was starting and playing well before his injury
Could be, I lose track of Man U's back line with all the injuries
Townsend?
Thanks Balders! Great list
Decent list. I'm not sure why you haven't included Monreal though, he's probably going to be my Arsenal defender for GW34 as I already own him and he is way cheaper than Bellerin!
Unless Gabriel proves he is nailed 🙂
How is Cabaye not there. takes most of the set pieces with Bolasie back, Zaha n Bolasie will get him a lot of fks n 1-2 pens
I think if you were to crop it down it would be:
LIV: Mignolet, Sakho, Firmino, Sturridge
EVE: Robles, Mori, Lennon, Lukaku
ARS: Cech, Bellerin, Ozil, Sanchez
MCI: Hart, Otamendi, KDB, Aguero
WBA: Dawson, Gardner, Rondon
NEW: Elliot, Janmaat, Wijnaldum
WHM: Adrian, Cresswell, Payet, Antonio
MUN: DDG, Smalling, Martial
WAT: Gomes, Nyom, Ighalo, Deeney
CPL: Hennessey, Dann, Ward
Personal opinion, the rest have little to no appeal to me.Out of which, I'm only taking Mignolet, Firmino, Lukaku, Bellerin, Ozil, Otamendi, Aguero, Payet, DDG, and Martial.
I do appreciate this list for the people who haven't done it themselves, but I largely disagree with a lot of people on here, so many attackers with absolutely no attacking return or worse no minutes, and a few notable defenders who are nailed on left out.
If Lingard, Robles and Traore stay nailed on I'll have 15 DGW players for GW34, 11 players for GW35, and 11 DGW players in GW37. With no -4s barring injuries. Perfect!
Traore doesn't have DGW34
No, but he has a GW 35 fixture and a DGW in 37.
WC for 33, and save FT the week after.
34 (bench boost):
Elliot, Robles
Monreal, Otamendi, Clyne, Dawson, McAuley
Sanchez, Payet, Firmino, Milner, Lingard
Aguero, Lukaku, Ighalo
Sanchez and Lingard -> Traore and Khazri
35:
Elliot
Monreal, Otamendi, Clyne, Dawson, McAuley
Traore, Firmino, Milner, Khazri
Aguero
Otamendi and McAuley -> any 2 defenders, unlimited budget.
37:
Robles
Smalling, Cresswell, Clyne
Traore, Firmino, Milner, Khazri, Payet
Lukaku, Ighalo (Aguero)
If Liverpool do well, this plan will do well. Now to play the waiting game and monitor the idea of KdB and Giroud over Sanchez and Aguero.
Arnie going up in price. Worth going for him for GW31 or do Daniels to Williams?
Shaqiri is out, so I wouldn't get any of Stoke attackers. Williams imo
Thanks mate.
nah, I wouldn't go for him. Daniels to Williams looks like my move this week.
Since Flanagan has returned, he has played ahead of Clyne and Moreno once each
Trying to plan ahead... it's all seems rather pointless until I know if Everton v Palace will be 35 or 36
Yeah that game could happen at any time. Really hoping its either 35 or 37.
wouldn't necessarily say two teams should dictate your plans.
Vardy > Rondon for a 2 week punt before GW33 WC
I'm thinking Berahino would be a decent punt too. But not for Vardy
Butland
Ivanovic, Alderweireld, Kompany*
Ozil, Mahrez, Sigurdsson, Alli
Aguero, Kane, Vardy
De Gea, Simpson, Wollscheid, Lingard
Was all set to save my 1 FT before Kompany's injury. Now I have a decision to make.
A) Save and play Simpson
B) Kompany -> Williams
Planning on WC33 so don't need to get a DGW player.A, wait for confirmation on Kompany, Simpson is a good 3rd defender this week
Is Tony Hibbert in tonight?
He's been off the radar for couple of days
Cheers
Any help much appreciated
What do i need to do to this team to prepare for the two dgw?
No wildcard left but all chips left 1ft £4.4 in bank
Hart hennesy
Dann fonte kocielny simpson alderweild
Silva mahrez siggy alli ozil
Kane aguero vardyNext 2 games, which is better?
A) Vardy to Lukaku (chance to gain TV, and plan to get him in WC anyway, poor fixtures)
B) Vardy to Rondon (better fixtures, good form, differential, but plays for WBA)
C) Keep Vardy (alright fixtures, Lei not doing much attacking wise, getting rid soon anyway)I've asked twice above but been ignored....I reckon C because of fixtures. Vardy will want the GOlden Boot so needs to keep up the goal count.
Though I am tempted by B
A or B for me, Vardy not doing it... at the moment leaning towards Lukaku, but B could be a great punt!
I'm just not keen on selling Vardy yet. Maybe its a little safe but there is no reason why Leicester should be so cagy in these games. They are the ones they should be winning with relative ease.
It's the fact that he hasn't done it against poor teams, and the next 2 games I'd be surprised if the opposition doesn't set up defensively. 14 points the last 4 games isn't great.
Palace need points, they can't go defensive, should be an open game this weekend.
I personally think the lesser teams know that the best way to play Lei is to set up defensively, yes they need the points but a point would a good result for them
Yeah its a fair point actually. Its the way the 'superior' teams should have played against Leicester.
The question on everybody's lips....who's the best Kompany replacement for the next 2 weeks before GW33 WC?
Williams
Should have said, got Williams, sorry!
Think I'll just use my bench or aoa and do a more exciting move
Kompany to:
1. Janmaat
2. Williams
3. Save and Play VVD.
CheerdCan't wait to pick up my 64 points from my 15 dgw players.
😀
If you get Moreno it'll be only 60.
Same risk as Clyne
And I'm planning double Liverpool defence...
Me too. Skrtel and Moreno are my current picks. Not keen on Sakho tbh
nope. Clyne only rested for one game this season and that's after 120mins.vs city then 90mins. vs city again and we had a game vs utd after that crystal palace game 3days ..
Moreno only rested once after Flanagan's return also. He's been just as much a regular under Klopp as Clyne has
Moreno is a Klopp favourite, can't see him being rested.
Could easily happen. In fact I expect him to be rested in at least one of the doubles, if not both, given Europa. But I still fancy his attacking threat a lot more than getting an extra game from Sakho
Agree, with Flanno not in the EL squad and EL QF close to DGW34, one of Clyne or Moreno will be rotated with Flanno.
this.. and imo flanno will rotate with Moreno(brainless) more
I was more talking about the fact that Moreno probably concedes 2 and gets booked = 0.
Ah. Well yes, that'd be most unwelcome
Anyone else whilst on the FPL website on an iPhone, keep getting sent to the App Store?! So annoying!
I'll report. Recurring issue. Could you email jonty?
Opps mid read. Thought u meant this site
It's a recurring issue that people looking at the FFS website on an iPhone get sent to the app store?
Some advert redirect issues on this site in the past yes
Yeah it's constant now. It's not this website though. It's the actually FLP one. Literally can't open a page on it.
Nope
Thanks.
You got pop ups blocked?
Which web browser? I have no problems with chrome
It's Safari mate
Everyone needs to consider Pool are still in the Europa League which means they will rest players
also city still in CL
Eve/WHU/Wat still in FA .
Bench two:
Williams (AVL)
VVD (LIV)
Azpi (WHU)
Wolly (wat)
Wimmer (BOU)VVD and Azpi/Wolly
VVD and Azpi
Should I ditch Silva even though I don't have WC?
Only made the switch two weeks ago but I feel like I should switch back to payet and take my medicine...
Just can't see silva doing much
I'd switch. Payet is on fire and has a DGW coming up. Best move if you don't have a WC
Kompany got injured... I have not seen it. Does it look long term again?
Players don't play better because there is a DGW in FPL. All this nonsense about players having a good DGW history is getting on my wick!
Casual . Dempsey was immense
I beg your pardon?
Dempsey always got a brace
It was coincidence that it was a DGW and he probably only did it once. Is the word 'casual' meant to be an insult or does it just mean that I'm someone who prefers to go to the pub than ejaculate over statistic tables every Friday night?
It happened more than once and I can't believe you took the casual remark seriously
Yes. Long enough to get rid.
Ta
Yeah, I'll be getting rid ASAP.
Cheers. Ideas on replacement?
So given the Kompany injury, here my latest WC DGW34 team
DDG, Elliot
Bellerin, Kos, Smalling, Cresswell, Sahko
Ozil, Firmino, Payet, Milner, Antonio
Kun, Lukaku, Martial
1.0M ITB
GW35: 2FT Lukaku + Antonio -> Willian + Pelle (he has Villa) gives me 11
GW36+37: Kun+Pelle->Lukaku+Ighalo or Deeney
DGW37 team looks like this
DDG
Smalling, Cresswell, Sahko
Firmino, Payet, Milner, Willian
Lukaku, Martial, Ighalo/Deeney
Elliot, Bellerin, Kos, Ozil.Anyone round here not planning on a GW33 WC or just me? I could get 11 DGW players for 34 without any hits, and still play BB with Simpson, Mahrez, Kane and TobyA in the team. Sound decent or not?
Decent option. I was going to do this, but Kompany injury throws a wrench into that. Would need a few hots to get 11.
Luckily I don't have Kompany. Sounds mad but I might not even need my second WC.
I'm not planning one.. so I'm with you!
I like spurs against WB and Lei against Swansea too much for it.
Looking at the fixtures and players available i don't fancy some it enough to go for 15 DGWers to get more points than 15 in form players..
Know its not the norm on here, but I'm not flying so high from constantly following others!
Imagine the DGWs when the Qatar world cup takes place in the winter, it will be insane
Think I'll boycott.
It should be the international teams doing the boycotting of the tournament...It's a farce.
Might as well cancel PL that season
2nd April 2016, just after midday.
FFS WC Party! 😀Can we reschedule for 23rd April? I might be busy on the 2nd.
That's the 2nd party. GW36er now?
That's what Man City vs Newcastle is hinting to me, unless Palace vs Everton falls early.
That international break will be the longest one ever...
Some won't be able to help themselves.
Might not be a bad idea to WC then
You'd get an extra transfer in case of a pre DGW emergency (eg injury to a DGWer)
To celebrate the end of RMTs?
Kompany to PVA..2 week punt?
Who are we thinking is the best option for triple captain in Gw 37? 🙂
Lukaku or Payet.
Kaku
Lukaku assuming he gets a TGW
If he doesn't?
Might still be Lukaku but Payet will be close
How likely is this? I would have thought that Palace v Everton would be rescheduled for either:
26th/27th Apr - week 35
Or
3rd/4th May - week 36
I don't believe there are semi-final replays so this would not affect these weeks. Also, I know there are Champions League games scheduled but if the game is not to be shown live then there is no problem with it going ahead.
Is there anything I'm missing here?
Robin Williams
Payet I think. Lukaku has the best fixtures, but he may not play all of both games.
Thanks all 🙂
Kompany to PVA and which 3 to play then?
Bellerin (eve), Fuchs (cpl), PVA (new), Wolly (wat), Daniels (tot)Wolly, Pva and Bellerin, if Kos is fit, else Fuchs
ty
Very early days still but how does this look for a DGW34 XI:
De Gea
Bellerin, Cresswell, Clyne
Ozil, Payet, Firmino, Lingard
Aguero, Sturridge, Lukaku
4 players who play in 35 on the bench + 2 FTs to work with.
Cech instead of de gea? As he plays 35 Sunderland away.
Good shout.
Wouldn't touch Sturridge. Good chance Pool are still in the UEL and he will be used in those games.
Yeah you're right. Martial instead maybe?
Can't overlook Villa at home, yep.
Could then upgrade Lingard to Milner to make up the 3rd Liverpool spot.
Sturridge is unlikely to play both. Selling him for Ighalo would let you upgrade Lingard.
Solid idea. Cheers.
Kompany and Shaqiri > Firmino and Clyne done and dusted.
lol
Sure about Clyne? Flanagan did replace him recently... (Moreno similar risk it seems to me)
Aye. Clyne had played just about every game. Nothing more than a rest.
You know Pool play Thursday?
Yeah. I have some other players as well though.
Wijnaldum or payet this week?
