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.
Vardy > Rondon for a 2-week punt?
I want to to do this. Plus Kompany to Williams if I WC in GW 32/33
thought i was only 1 wc in 32 instead of 33... makes so much sense to me but trying to keep it on downlow so not every 1 copies
It will depend on injuries during the break. If all goes well I might wait till GW 33.
Gw33 WC
2 Gks covering 34 twice, the blank and dgw 37 (may include rubles)
3 Liverpool outfielders
2or3 Everton outfielders
1or2 outfielders from group A - dbl, blank (Man U,west ham, Watford, crystal palace, Norwich)
6 outfielders from group B -dbl, sgl (MCY, ARS, NEW, WBM)
Gw34 save and BB 15
Gw35
One of group A to Chelsea or Sunderland
Gw36 & 37
3 ft group B to group A, Chelsea or Sunderland
11 dgw37 plus triple captain
Assumes palace Everton final fixture not reinstated later in wk35 and no injuries
What did I miss?
🙂DGW 34 draft.
Thoughts on this Zan?
Robles Cech
Kompany(?) Janmaat Moreno Simpson McCauley
Sanchez Firmino Payet Ozil Anotnio
Aguero Lukaku Rashford
1.1m in the bank.
Payet, Antonio, Rashford, Lukaku and Robles will have blank GW 35. Will use money itb to upgrade for someone with a game.
Hot Topic might be similar.
Just when I thought I caught a break...
Kompany > Sakho this week to prepare for DGWs? Not interested in City defense without Big Vincent.
hey there shifty.
Yep Komp out is an obvious move for me too. Not too sure who to get thoughi hate this season. 30 GWs of fighting fires.
I think you mentioned you didn't have a WC anymore, so yes.
Do you think Clyne/Moreno are under threat from Flanagan?Cheers EoE, yea don't have a QC anymore.
Hmm, Moreno yes given his tendency to leave defence exposed. Clyne is safe for me, very reliable RB.
2FT and £2.1m in the bank. Still have my WC and all 3 chips left. Can someone help me with a plan for 1. transfer(s) this week and 2. when to use my WC and chips?
Currently thinking do Fletcher > someone this week, and go AoA, dropping Kompany obv. Then WC in GW34 and bench boost for the the first DGW. Thoughts? Thx very much
Butland
Williams Toby Kompany
Siggy Mahrez Alli Ozil
Aguero Kane(c) Vardy
Bench - Simpson, Wolly, FletcherSimpson is a decent choice to play if needed.
Plenty of Hot Topic regarding WC planning.
WC would be in 33 for 34 BB.OK thanks mate. Yeah Simpson isn't bad...just seems like not a bad spot to use my AoA. There's not exactly going to be loads of great opportunities to use that one. As I've said on here earlier, I am tempted to get Traore in for Fletcher, for the next 2 games (and play AoA)
Risky though, and I will wait until pressers of course
Any Pool fans know if Skrtel will be reinstated back into the starting XI anytime soon? Would love his goal threat for the DGW if nailed.
If he's fit I expect him to be nailed. Lovren has been terrible and Liverpool don't keep too many CS.
Who are the best pool defernders to get for a dgw? Sakho or Lovren nailed?
Sakho is the safest no? Only left footed defender.
I'm considering Moreno and Clyne. They are both nailed
Moreno might lose a game to Flanagan during the DGW.
Clyne a good shout as he has no direct competition.
Flanagan was RB while Clyne was moved to LB. So Clyne, Flanagan and Moreno could rotate among two spots.
Moreno was dropped for the City game wasn't he?
True, might not be the best bet with Flanagan back. Sakho then I guess
Flanagan?
Go Clyne fella
Gonna have to make my GW33 WC final decision straight after GW32 on 3rd April as will be on a mountain in the Himalayas during GW33! Hopefully none of my picks get injured before the GW commences, will also be desperate to check my team while halfway up a mountain! No chance, won't be able to check until 13th!
Make sure you actually activate your wildcard before you leave - you don't want to do a Fenley! 🙂
Good point!
that is awesome, enjoy
Martial, Wellbeck or Giroud best shout for 34?
Martial looks the most certain of game time
Yea thats what I was thinking, has the best fixtures for 34 as well.
Whats the return date for Rooney?Rooney still a month away at least
Martial between 'em. And this is a Gooner speaking
Cheers, Have lukaku and Aguero nailed as 2 strikers just looking for my 3rd. Think martial is worth a shot as United have a great set of fixtures for their double.
To much rotation for Giroud/Wellbeck I guess?Similar story. I might go Martial myself if I am strong enough to ditch Kane.
I think so
I would get Martial if I could, but having to settle for Rashford.
Money?
Lack of it 🙂
Guys I'm in a spot of bother here due to playing WC in GW22. As much as I feel this has helped me climb the ranks I'm starting to think this was a mistake now 🙁
I've worked out unless I take a -4 from GW31 >>GW34 I will be really short of DGW players.
If youve used your WC would this be the best way to field 11 DGW players?(Lloris) HENNESSEY
JAGIELKA Azpilicueta KOMPANY* Simpson Van Dyik
OZIL Mahrez Alli Siggy Arnie
KUN Kane Vardy
Vardy and Kompany >> LUKAKU and JAMMATT
32 Arnie and VVD >> PAYET and MONREAL
33 Siggy and Lloris >> FIRMINO and MIGS
34 Alli and Simpson >> ROJO and HENDERSONAll for a -4 hit!
Looks good. Not sure about Henderson.
Would have 6.7 to spend so a few options
Milner is a better pick.
Thanks
Take the hits imo.
But it has to be done sensibly. Wouldn't recommend Arnie/Mahrez to Payet this week for example 🙂Yep Kompany is a bit of pain as is Apzi having a DGW in 37 it wouldn't of been so bad
You scored 88 last week. A hit is hardly the end of the world 🙂
LMS is in the back of my mind to but now topping my ML after this score I can afford to take some hits
You'll struggle in GW34 when most will WC/BB/TC tbh.
This is true TM 🙁
Hey there my man.
A hit is nothing in your case 😉You noticed my score then! Yay! Can afford to take a -20 this right?
Week*
As you wish, my master 😀
Here's a piece of interesting info - if you look at the next 5 gws (ie assuming a 36 wc), and sort the members ticker by overall attractiveness then Leicester pops up to 4th, despite not having an extra game.
Put another way, Leicester's coming fixtures are good, and their players could well outscore players with an extra game in the dgw.
Oh ffs not again Kompany
Thank god have 2 FT's
Best bet for next GW so I can replace Kompany? leaning towards a Newcastle defender. Benitez at Madrid had his teams set up really defensive, can see the same approach against Sunderland where points REALLY are at stake.
Sunderland love playing Newcastle.
Both fighting to survive the BPL, could either end a silly score or 0-0.
Look at the past 4 times in this fixture.
oh wow no newcastle wins since 2012, thats a shock
Rojo back from injury could be good news too.
What about west brom, two good gws coming up. Dawson and evans both back
good shout!
looking for the best 3 forward combination on GW34..any idea?
Aguero Lukaku xxxxx is common.
Aguero Lukaku Martial
thanx
Thats exactly what Im going for 🙂
Aguero, Lukaku, Ighalo if you are more budget conscious
I understand the addiction and excitement of planning such an overhauling wildcard like this one will be..but there's a lot of time between now and GW33, with some fixtures not even set yet.
For me: McCarthy > Robles this week so that I don't lose a FT. 2 FTs through international break. Reassess after then going into week 32. A couple injuries here and there will completely change the outlook.I'm considering spending my FT and WCing during the international break. Will have 1FT to deal with any emergencies prior to the DGW.
Why exactly? Not because of price changes, surely?
I'll be really busy prior to GW33. Not so much during the international break.
Also I'd have a very different team to everyone else in GW32 so that in itself might be a useful differential if the fixtures work out better. Will require a little more research though as to what my WC team will actually look like.ah fair enough
#greatminds
Folks, any idea which gameweeks were doubles last season? and the one before if possible.
I wonder, come GW34, how many FPL players will attempt to use the WC and BB in the same GW as they did not realise they could not!
Don't care about them unless ahead of me 🙂
my ML leader.
He's mentioned to me "I'm waiting for the right week to play all my chips"
Yea you read that right, my 100-point lead ML leader.
You guys must be really bad
So thoughts on this? I don't have a WC left to play so had to plan big time.
GW31 - Save
GW32 - Targett > Moreno
GW33 - Siggy > Firmino + Kane > Lukaku
GW34 - Bunn > Gomes
Gives me 8 DGWers for 34 and 6 for 37 with 3 weeks get another 3 in.
GW35 blankers = Gomes / Lukaku / Payetcould be ok. Who stole your wc?
Some guy, he just came in and took it one day.
I hope it is, if Otamendi is out, then I may have to rethinkSame probably Jape. I guess just continue playing the fixtures with your transfers bud. I have a plan but will probably change week by week. Not worried about taking hit to max the DGW players.
Yea agreed. It will probably change week by week, but it's good to get a base plan I think 🙂
I think i'll take like 1 hit max if I need to.
Good luck to us ehI really want 11 at least so hits for the next 4 would be required.. go hard on hit and take some punts along the way would be better fun for the DGW
Fair point. Will see how it goes along the way
Kompany owners.
Those who are not wanting to use their WC in gw33, what are your plans?
Kompany to Williams looks good for this gw if I were to WC in gw33. But if not do you sell for a dgw defender now?If you WC in 33, what's the difference?
Whatever gets you more points. Those without WCs are trying to get DGWers with each transfer. Kills getting Siggy/Williams though.
Yeah that is why I said if you are not wanting to use your WC in Gw33. I have not decided if I will or not. If not I should be seeking a dgw defender instead of Williams right?
No wildcard. Can afford to go without kompany or replacement this gw. Cresswell Bellerin or Mori for me. If planning to wc33 then azpi or ivan are decent options.
I was gunna sit him on the bench this week anyway and still may do just that
Is Robles EVE no#1 GK going forward? what happened to Howard?
Howard is going to MLS sooner or later.
MLS for Colorado Rapids.
Anyone cracked the gw33 wildcard?
With all the expensive double players, those left for benchboost in 34 look very low quality.
My first decision is i will just keep simpson who cost 4.1 decent 33 fixture and home to swansea in 35
So what if he scores 2 points less than some cheap dgw on the benchboost? he should make up for it in the other weeksOne near top of page and one in Hot Topics
It's more of who to drop than who to pick really. So many options in midfield.
Ozil + Alexis, Firmino + Milner (Lallana even?), Payet + Antonio, Barkley.
Probably going with double Ars, 1-2 Pool, Payet, and maybe even keep Mahrez.
Forwards more tricky. Will Luk play both or will Everton focus on cup?
Aguero is a must. Other 2 slots: Luk, Martial + Rashford, Ighalo + Deeney, Rondon, Giroud, Keep Kane?
I think defense will be the most important.. gotta set it up right for end of seasonI cant believe we have an opportunity to TC Aguero and are thinking about not handing it to him.
Thinking the same on Simpson.
if Rashford is nailed, if opens up many opportunities for GW33 WCBut would you Rashford over Martial? LR said he might be considering both.
With KUN and Luk a lock, it is a tough one. A 4.6 fwd is quite an enabler for the rest of your squad
There is enablers in mid though like Antonio and Milner.
I think the `15dgw players is dead. Someone lo=ike simpson makes more sense for those who bought cheap
Rashford a disaster waiting to happen he alrready tailing off
H-AVL H-CPL gotta have some MUN cover.
Will you play him in GWs36-8?
Maybe 1 of those weeks but I assume whoever keeps him will have decent cover with their other 4 defs...
If LEI are still going for title by then, why not play him? If Kante plays, every shot at a CS IMODoubt you play him in GW37.
United maybe.
Chelsea in 38 is random especially away.If LEI are going for the title anything is possible. They're really well set up defensively and look disciplined for most parts.
Fair enough. Not sure what I'll do as he is useful in GW35 at least.
Will decide once GW33 comes.of course would not play simpson every match, wouldnt need to
he fairly useful 33 as well at Sunderland
Fair point regarding 33. Sunderland score most weeks now.
Leicester CS record away is a lot weaker.
So what's everybodys plan with the BB and TC chip?
Lots are doing:
WC33
BB DGW34
TC DGW37BB - DGW34
TC - DGWlater
unsure WC on GW32 or 33Hot Topic has plenty.
If WCing this week, is Azpi > Williams a good short term punt?
Or should I save and do a double whammy punt next GW?
Current team:
Butland McCarthy
Bellerin Azpi Daniels Wolly Simpson
Ozil Silva Siggy Mahrez Alli
Kun Kane VardyOnly 0.2 banked with 1FT
Sorry WC in 33*
but what about Azpi the following week at villa
That is my dilemma.
Which week do Villa score their monthly goal?vs Swansea
I like that transfer. CHE don't look like keeping CS these days.
Currently thinking Komp -> Ashley or Dawsondouble whammy 2@CHE
Was thinking maybe punt on Traore 5.4 mid.
Should start up top and 2g 1a in 165minsalso, having 2 FT available for not only a punt but also international break could be handy
True. Now gotta decide on bench. Thinking Silva.
Ozil Silva Mahrez Siggy Alli
Kun Kane Vardy
Scoutcast on today.
Lots of DGW talk.Mark must be fuming at his Kolarov transfer now.
He's gone off the boil. Even I passed him.
He's still 1 point ahead of me 😆
Thanks Kompany for the headache..I've no wildcard..is this a decent lot of SGWer to BB ?... can only get 12DGWer from now until gw 34 for -4..
Mahrez / Fuchs / Ivanovic
Rest of team:
ddg elliot
Clyne cresswell bellerin
Ozil Mahrez firmino wijnaldum
Aguero lukaku ighaloOther dgw mid shd be yaya, not mahrez
Will arsenal manage to shut out Everton?
Doubt it. Couldn't shut out Watford and Barca should wear them out.
Unlikely, but better chance with kosc back..
Now why couldnt Kompany injure himself nine minutes into the Norwich match instead, wou;ld have been so much more enjoyable
-1
Would have cost me 8 pts ! And 0.1 SV. Just glad he did not injure himself 9 minutes into the 1st dgw game..
Got me 4 points more for Hart.
it would have cost me 8 pts. but i'd still be in front of you by almost 100pts
Wow.
so just noticed fixtures confirmed for dgw 34 fixtures, with arsenal to be added to play on the 21st 🙂
I know Manure don't score much but surely they gotta get a couple with AVL(H) and CPL(H)...
Martial the most likely beneficiary methinks.
All his goals/ assists except 2 have come at Old Trafford.Martial, yes.
Lingard maybe. The blank week is putting me off.
PVA or Janmaat a good 1 week punt? Shipping Kompany.
Janmaat..dgw34 as well..
Cheers. But PVA seems to be the better finisher. Sunderland do well against New.
WC in GW 33. Will get Janmaat in anyway.
Janmaat I think.
NEW looked decent last game.Cheers.
Actually PVA.
I think both will score and like you said PVA more likely to get on the scoresheet.Yeah, genuinely feel PVA is the better punt.
WBA(H) say he is the better bet.
will be a card fest and Janmaat quite partial to a yellow
No WC....already have 6 DGWers at the moment.
Am thinking of at least 11 DGWers using FTs and a hit (or two) so I can use the bench boost at GW34 and have a full roster for GW35.
The key would be who of my LEI and TOT assets to keep. Right now I've got Lloris - Dier - Kane + Vardy - Mahrez - Morgan
Am thinking Mahrez, Kane and Morgan stay. What say you?What's your current team?
Lloris Hennessy
Dier Morgan Bertrand Kompany Rangel
Ozil Payet Sigurdsson Mahrez Lingard
Kane Aguero Vardy
Kompany and Vardy likely to go this week for LIV def + Lukaku - no choice but to start getting them in early.
Hi shifty i'm in a similar situation and currently have 6 DGW with 5 FT until 34..and planning to take hit to get 12 out and BB..i'm keeping fuchs and mahrez but i'm selling kane as theres too much funds tied in him to get more premium DGWers..other SGWer is ivanovic whom i'm reluctant to shift out as CHE has no blank in 35 and has dgw 37..
Yea considering selling Kane as well but could backfire spectacularly. I think you have a good plan...but keeping Ivanovic could be a mistake given he could make way for a 5.0 DGW defender and put about 1.5 more in midfield.
why don't you keep Alli/Kane ?? Tot have good fixtures+only playing for the league un like Liv/Eve/Wat/Mci/Whu+ on good form
no wc for me too keeping Alli/Mahrez/vardy/Schmeichel or Kane/Mahrez/Schmeichel
in your case I'd keep Mahrez kane Morgan and probably Dier
Who would you bench this week?
Ozil Silva Alli
Thinking Silva or Alli.Form says Silva.
Doesn't he usually do well in big games/ Manchester Derbies? Or is my memory deceiving me?
Aguero does well vs Norwich. Means little. He's hardly the Silva of old but yes he has a good record.
Silva
Silva
