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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    When will be te third everton game?

    Any chance everton hasva triple game on gw 37?

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Some point before the end of the season.

        Do you bet on the horses ever Balders?

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Nope, I don't bet on markets I don't have a good understanding of.

            fair enough, have a tip but you're probably better off. Wise choice

              • 12 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              I'm following Slouch's posts but not betting on them. He'd be interested to hear it if you see him about.

      2. zizoo10

        10 years, 4 months ago

        why not after?

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          because it won't be the end until all games have been played.

  2. zizoo10

    wait, so people are planning on dropping kane/mahrez on their GW33 WC?

    sounds absolutely insane to me. 13dgwers + kane/mahrez for example might be better, no?

    i have a feeling that big hitter single gwers will outscore some dgwers..

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Less fun though.

      1. zizoo10
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        true, i think i'll be holding kane/mahrez to cover my rival who will have them. he has no wc

    2. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Preferring to hold off ruining my team until wk36.

    3. Jay_
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Mahrez has to go to make room for : Ozil Sanchez Firmino Payet and one of Lingard/ Antonio (enablers) Kane could stay in a 3-5-2 and just bench him in 34

    4. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years

      Look at GW35 fixtures as well for Leicester and Spurs

      1. zizoo10
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        god have mercy!

      2. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Doesn't mean you can't get one or both back for gw35 with a transfer.

        1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Can't have 6 of them though 😉

  3. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Kompany > Ivan?

    1. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I felt vindicated when Kompany went off, though it really isn't good for us Otamendi owners.

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Just happy it didn't happen during the DGW.

  4. marquinhos
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Looking to do 2 transfers this week

    Arnie and Vardy to Firmino and Lukaku?

    Any suggestions?

    1. FCSB
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      arnie to firmino good, hold vardy for one more week i think

  5. Swan - Villa Proud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    For me, today's injury to Kompsny means only 6 DGW players atm

    - Need a -8 to get 11 for GW34 assuming no more injuries
    - Wouldn't be able to maximize points next few weeks with punts like Siggy and maybe PVA
    - Trsiling rival by 70 pts means I need to save all the points I can. Fine with taking hits in later weeks

    So although I was very much on a late WC earlier tonight, I think I've come round to WC 33 way of thinking

    1. Gr3g
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Just woke up! What Kompany injury? Anything serious?

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        He hurt his calf again. Scan tomorrow but looks at least a fed weeks and highly doubt he plays both DGW fixtures if he even plays at all

        1. Gr3g
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Thank you.
          Forget about DGW, I need him this weekend 🙂
          Got Daniels and Targett on the bench!

  6. Gr3g
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Is Lukaku going to up in price today?!

    1. Gaz Downright
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      looks like he might

      1. Gr3g
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Thinking of getting rid of Vardy for Lukaku 🙂

        1. FCSB
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          worth holding vardy against CPL, and then doing the swap - its international break next week, wouldnt want luk to get injured...

          1. Gr3g
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Might have to with Kompany news anyway, don't think he will recover for weekend and I have one FT only

            1. Gaz Downright
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              if it's the same injury again, in my opinion he might be out for the season

              1. Gr3g
                • 14 Years
                10 years, 4 months ago

                Yeah, he brought some stability to City's def. I think they can forget about being first and start to worry about that CL spot for next season

      2. Gr3g
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Is he likely to get double rise before deadline?

  7. Gaz Downright
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Who would you ship for Siggy? Özil, Payet or Mahrez?

    1. Jay_
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Mahrez out of those 3

    2. Gr3g
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I would have to say Ozil or Payet.

    3. foreverton
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Anyone but Payet

    4. FCSB
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      do you have a WC for the DGWs... if so ship ozil, if not ship mahrez and hold the other two until GW34

      1. Gaz Downright
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        have WC, my bad, should have specified

        1. Gaz Downright
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          by the way, this is exactly what i was thinking too

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Did Ludo retire? I miss his posts

      1. Piggs Boson

        No idea, seems that way 🙁

        Left FFS to spend more time with family/life, he had a big goodbye post which was hulked

          • 12 Years

          Aww I missed that 🙁

      Blast from the past

  8. Paris Ganja Man
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Which DGW is best to use TC and BB respectively?

    1. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Nobody knows

  9. Cheeseoid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    I think I have changed my mind.

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      About what?

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Everything. This whole chip usage is a conundrum. Trying to come up with something a little different but I may just end up as a sheep

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Not going to TC in 34? I'm guessing there are more barriers to doing it in this order WC BB TC than WC TC BB?

          1. Ryan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            *less barriers

            1. Cheeseoid
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              I think the problem is the weeks between the 2 chips. It will be tough to use the transfers sensibly while still putting out a decent side. You really want to save up 4 or 5 ft's and use them all for GW 37. It seems cleaner this way and less complicated

    2. Gaz Downright
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      what was in that coffee?

        ust the usual crack

  10. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Any thoughts / advice on my team for GW31 please:

    Fabianski
    Fuchs VVD Toby
    Ozil Mahrez Alli Payet
    Kane (c) Vardy Aguero

    Subs: Butland Ivan King Kompany

    1 FT, $1.1m ITB (no WC)

    Any suggested changes or transfers please? With DGWs in mind...

    Thanks 🙂

    1. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Vardy to Lukaku.

  11. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Guys what would you do with your 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

    1. mikess

      A looking good if you trust VVD at home to Pool

  12. foreverton
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    GW30: 1 Transfer
    GW31: 1 Transfer
    GW32: 1 Transfer
    GW33: WC
    GW34: Bench Boost
    GW35: 1 Transfer
    GW36: 1 Transfer
    GW37: Triple Captain

    Is this the way to go?

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      You'll have an extra transfer in there if you save in GW 34

      1. foreverton
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        True

    2. Gaz Downright
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      looks good on paper

  13. Scratch
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Screw it may as well get Lukaku now in case he rises. Only 3 players I know I'll definitely have in Gw34 and those are Ozil, Payet and Lukaku

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Do you think Lukaku will start for a mid-table and going nowhere Everton a few days before the FA Cup semi final?

      1. Scratch
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Yep I do. The fans would never let Martinez off playing a scratch team in a Merseyside derby

        1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Fair enough 🙂

    2. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I think he'll start but he may not play 180 min. Still worth the risk

  14. Swan - Villa Proud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Just want to say that days like today make for a highly enjoyable time in this forum. So many great posters and people who want to go well but also share their opinion and knowledge with all of us. I love the community and glad I became a member. Thank you all

  15. mikess
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Hart, McCarthy
    Alderwiereld, Fuchs, Williams, Wollschield, VVD
    Mahrez, Alli, Ozil, Payet, Sigurdson
    Kane, Aguero, Vardy

    Not got a clue what to do with my free this week!

    Gutted that Kompany is out, makes Hart much less appealing. I have £1.6m in the bank. Fairly confident I will go down the WC 33, BB 34 route

    Any ideas?

  16. zizoo10
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    So what's everyone's WC33 draft? Any accommodating for kane/mahrez?

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Print out, throw darts.

        moreno, saylor, nasri, cathcart, evans it is

    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    I really don't fancy Everton before gw36

    I also really don't fancy more than two United between weeks 32 and 35

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I'd only be getting Lukaku DDG and maybe Martial

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I'm not even a fan of Lukaku, I might go 352

        1. Swan - Villa Proud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          He is on form, but fixtures not the best I agree.

    2. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I think a def and maybe Martial

    3. SPFC
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      United have a good defense at Old Trafford and against Villa anyone get along. Palace has a poor defense.

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Away at Tottenham in 33, blanking in 35, playing Leicester in 36 could very easily ruin all the dgw good work. Don't pick more than you can comfortably bench.

    4. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Everton are very good team. Would not surprise anybody if they win those fixtures.

  17. steven8991
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    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.

    How should I spend the FT?

    no WC available
    3 chips are still there (AoA, BB, TC)

  18. vNistelrooy
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    are all the fixtures been updated on fpl site?
    i see only 12 fixtures on gw34.

      no, the ticker here is up to date though

  19. Marv87

    Thought it would be obvs what to do when dgw were announced. More confused then ever lol

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      If the final Everton gets announced for a TGW in 37 it'll become crystal clear imo

  20. marquinhos
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    who specifically to get for the DGW defense wise?

    WBA defender - Dawson or McCauley or Olsson
    Newcastle defender- Janmaat
    Liverpool defender- Sakho or Clyne or Moreno

    1. Scratch
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Definitely one Arsenal, Bellerin or Gabriel though the way the latter has played lately I could see him being dropped
      Robles, maybe Jagielka.
      One Pool, probably Moreno
      WBA don't really interest me, terrible GW 33 and 35 fixtures
      United double looks nice so hopefully someone not named Smalling is a reliable choice by then

  21. I Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Best TC in option in 34?

    A) Aguero (che, new)
    B) Ozil (CPL, WBA)
    C) Payet (lei, WAT)
    D) Martial (AVL, CPL)

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Rooney could be an option too

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Whoever's fit and on form

    2. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      B would be my pick atm. D has massive potential but also massive risk

      See who's on form at that time.

    3. Gaz Downright
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Did you see that free kick?

  22. OLB
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

      Migs from that lot.

    Is this DGW34 team worth a -8? Would also mean missing out on pts from SIggy and another player the next 2 weeks.

    DDG
    Bellerin, Sahko, Dann
    Silva, Ozil, Payet, Firmino,
    Kun, Lukaku, Martial

    Elliot, Mahez, Simpson, Williams
    0.6M ITB

    GW35: Lukaku+Williams->Pelle+VVD gets me 11
    GW36: WIldcard

      Don't think there's an issue with the -8, but I think you could lose out over the next 2-3 gameweeks if you're using all your transfers on getting DGW players. Won't be able to get Siggy or Chelsea players for Villa game, for example.

      Also defence might be a bit of an issue for GW31 - Simpson and Williams are good to go, but you'd ideally maybe want to use the FT to change Kompany to someone with good fixtures for the next couple of GWs (e.g. WBA defender), as neither Bellerin nor Sakho are particularly good bets for GW31?

      Makes more sense for you to wildcard in GW33 imo 🙂

        Cheers mate. The Kompany injury really jammed me up 🙁 But I can still make it work with WC

      Cheers puppy. Crazy how Simpson has outscored Fuchs in points and BAPS the last few weeks, yet Fuchs rises.

      1 up, 0 down

    Who should sit on the bench from this lot?

    Mahrez(cry) Alli(BOU) Ozil(eve) Firmino(sou) Siggy(SWA)
    Vardy(cry) Kane(BOU) Aguero(MUN)

      Tricky one. One of the middle 3 mids is the best I have.

      1. The Welsh Xavi
        • 10 Years

        Tough. I'd probably say Alli out of that lot - you have Spurs cover in attack and none of his big hauls have come away from home

          Sorry, replied to wrong thing again!

      DDG/Elliot for me.

    IM Finally leading my ml by 20 points, I'm scared ditching Kane, mahrez Alderwield is going to come back and bite my asss real hard like a tiger with wet wipes. Sure it's worth it?

      Only matters if rivals keep them.

    I want to know the date for this remaining fixture. How dare they have the audacity to retain this information!
