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.

    When will be te third everton game?

    Any chance everton hasva triple game on gw 37?

      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Some point before the end of the season.

        Do you bet on the horses ever Balders?

          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 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
              9 years, 8 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.

        why not after?

          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

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

    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..

      Less fun though.

      1. zizoo10
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 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

      Preferring to hold off ruining my team until wk36.

    3. Jay_
        9 years, 8 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

      • ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
        • 10 Years

        Look at GW35 fixtures as well for Leicester and Spurs

        1. zizoo10
          • 10 Years

          god have mercy!

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

            Can't have 6 of them though 😉

      Kompany > Ivan?

      1. kalmoffit
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

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

          Just happy it didn't happen during the DGW.

    5. marquinhos
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Looking to do 2 transfers this week

      Arnie and Vardy to Firmino and Lukaku?

      Any suggestions?

      1. FCSB
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

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

    6. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 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
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Just woke up! What Kompany injury? Anything serious?

        1. Swan - Villa Proud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 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
            9 years, 8 months ago

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

    7. Gr3g
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Is Lukaku going to up in price today?!

      1. Gaz Downright
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        looks like he might

        1. Gr3g
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Thinking of getting rid of Vardy for Lukaku 🙂

          1. FCSB
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 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
              9 years, 8 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
                9 years, 8 months ago

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

                1. Gr3g
                  • 14 Years
                  9 years, 8 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
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Is he likely to get double rise before deadline?

    8. Gaz Downright
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

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

      1. Jay_
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Mahrez out of those 3

        • Gr3g
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I would have to say Ozil or Payet.

        • foreverton
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Anyone but Payet

        • FCSB
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 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
            9 years, 8 months ago

            have WC, my bad, should have specified

            1. Gaz Downright
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

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

        Which DGW is best to use TC and BB respectively?

        1. kalmoffit
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Nobody knows

      3. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I think I have changed my mind.

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          About what?

          1. Cheeseoid
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 8 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
              9 years, 8 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
                9 years, 8 months ago

                *less barriers

                1. Cheeseoid
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 13 Years
                  9 years, 8 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
          9 years, 8 months ago

      4. FCSB
        • 9 Years

        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

        GW37: Triple Captain

        Is this the way to go?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

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

          1. foreverton
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            True

          • Has Moderation Rights

          looks good on paper

      7. Scratch
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 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 $$$
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 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
            9 years, 8 months ago

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

            1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Fair enough 🙂

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

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

        • 10 Years

        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

      9. mikess
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 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?

      10. zizoo10
        • 10 Years

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

        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 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
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I'd only be getting Lukaku DDG and maybe Martial

            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

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

            1. Swan - Villa Proud
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

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

        2. Cheeseoid
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I think a def and maybe Martial

        3. SPFC
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

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

            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 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
          9 years, 8 months ago

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

      11. steven8991
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 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)

      12. vNistelrooy
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

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

          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          no, the ticker here is up to date though

          1. Gr3g
            • 14 Years

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

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

      14. marquinhos

        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
          9 years, 8 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

        Best TC in option in 34?

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

          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Rooney could be an option too

          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Whoever's fit and on form

        2. Swan - Villa Proud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

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

          See who's on form at that time.

          Did you see that free kick?

      16. OLB
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Best keeper for gw34 from Robles, Mignolet or Gomes?

        1. Swan - Villa Proud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 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

        Risers: Arnautovic, Fuchs, Kane

        Fallers: Celina, Niasse

          Fuchs, please keeping earning me TV before I wildcard 🙂

          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
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            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

            1. The Welsh Xavi
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Sorry, replied to wrong thing again!

        Whom are you guys thinking is the best GK combo for the DGWs ?

          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          budget is everything
          if u can afford degea mignolet then that other wise all the way down to my robles/elliot cos i have no tv

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          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!
