We roll out the first in a series of members articles analysing players per position over their previous four matches. Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool’s full-backs arrive on our radar, whilst we also look to the defensive improvements by Norwich and Newcastle before assessing the contrasting recent displays of both Manchester sides.
Thoughts on this planning?
GW32 - Otamendi > Bellerin -4 (Otamendi could end up getting 2 yellows in the next 2)
GW33 - Siggy > Lanzini & Toby > Smalling/Sagna (-4)
GW34 - Alli > Sanchez & Vardy > Ayoze/Rashford/Origi
Would give me
Mignolet
Sagna/Smalling / Bellerin / Flanno
Payet / Lanzini / Ozil / Sanchez
Kane / Kun / Ayoze/Rashford/Origi
Subs: Butland / Daniels / Williams / MahrezUgh worst top of the page post.
Looks good though unsure on Sagna and Flanno
Flanno is just a risk I feel like taking haha.
I guess Sagna is me trying to get a City defender back in for the DGW.
Might have to look at other ways.
Thanks man
Can't see the sense in doing Ota out for a -4 and Sagna in for a -4.
I would just keep Ota and do Toby > SmallingGuess i'm worried about him getting 2 yellows before GW 34.
Would rather have Bellerin over Smalling if I have to choose
Just do the toby to smalling move. If ota avoids a yellow then keep him for 33 and 34
Thanks 🙂
Or Toby to Bellerin, as you prefer him to Smalling like you said above. And he has a better fixture in 32
Wow people are really losing the run of themselves with DGW. You are sacrificing hits there that would wipe out a defenders clean sheets points
Who of these 3 would you prefer? (Next gameweek only!)
A) Alli (liv)
B) Lanzini (CRY)
C) Coutinho (TOT)
Coutinho
Lanzini
Lanziniiiiiiiiiii
B
Lanzini.
Any news on Hart? I see that The Guardian writes:
"The club are also hopeful that Joe Hart will recover from his calf injury in time to face PSG in the first leg."Merely based on the Daily Fail rumours?
REPOST
Good Morning All,
Any ideas on this lot? 2FTs, 2.5 itb
Schmeicel Butland
Toby VVD Williams Bellerin Saylor
Mahrez Alli Payet Arnie Siggy
Kane Vardy Aguero
Thinking Williams + Siggy > Ozil + Reid/Ogbonna ?Just Siggy to Ozil looks good.
Or if you want to use both Williams > Cresswell?Can't afford Cresswell am afraid, I'll just do Siggy > Ozil once confirmed 100% fit.
Thanks mate
I see NEW defenders/gk are becoming fashionable again. No big chances conceded in Rafa's first two games is quite an interesting stat.
It's a solid team. I'd do the Ozil trade.Thanks mate
I like those moves
Cheers mate
Does anyone know when the Everton vs. Palace fixture is likely to be announced? Or what date it is likely to fall?
I don't think the people who know that at the moment are posting on this site unfortunately...
People considering Lacelles for their WC team? Looks great value and a goal threat
Not sure if he's nailed on
but, but, but newcastle
He has been even more of a liability than Coloccini, Mbemba, and maybe even Saylor, and that's saying something. I dunno when Coloccini is back but I wouldn't be putting any faith in the Newcastle defence just yet.
Morning all 🙂
What do we think about Leicester v West Ham in DGW34? Tight game or open? Leicester favourites?I think it really depends on whether there'll be an early goal or not. Both teams likely to be cautious, but if one of them has go to chasing early, there might be openings for counter attacks and end-to-end football.
Cool, cheers Pink 🙂
Oh unquestionably Leicester are favs. They'll likely be a shade of odds on in all bookies. 1-0 most likely result again
I just checked that FantasyBet game and in the FFScout league i came 2nd and won 14 quid hahaha
Eriksen > Sanchez or Fab for -4 differential ?
Or keep him, chasing a 30 point lead but he doesn't have Eriksen either but Fab vs Villa got be points galore?I'd prefer Eriksen tbh.
Can't see many goals in the Spurs vs Liverpool though, tough fixture
Go for Fab!
Surprised to not see my WC teams with Cech in the sticks with a double up with Bell/Kosc. Cech is back for te next GW according to FPL
Lots would like Ozil and Sanchez and a DEF...
That's what I have...
Best three defenders for weeks 33 to 35 for UNDER 15m.
I'm currently on Reid, Dawson, Sakko.
Anything wrong with that? Would anyone have Jags over Reid?
Dawson to Simpson for me. Keep Reid
Hi guys. What do you make of the GW 33 WC team (will BB in 34, DGW in CAPS):
DDG – MIGS
SAGNA – BELLERIN – REID – [ROJO] – Simpson
OZIL – Mahrez – FIRMINHO – Alli – PAYET
LUKAKU – DEENEY – AGUERO
£2.6itb
OR Deeney & Alli > Rashford & Countinho/Barkley (or Alexis, but would need to find £1.8m somewhere)
GW34 – Save
GW 35 – Lukaku > Kane & 1 other to get 11 (could take a hit to get 12 if an injury etc)
I have been mulling this over for a while so would welcome your thoughts!! Thanks in advance
Not convinced by Sgana, not nailed imo. Would rather have Kane than Alli as your Spurs SGW but that might not be possible with you TV. Other than that looks decent.
Thanks for this - very helpful. Yea, I would like Lukaku for the double, and will then switch out for Kane.
I agree re Sagna - Caballero could be an option if Hart is confirmed out. Or I could get a cheap WAT/NEW to make room for Sanchez!
Thanks again
Sakho or Janmaat for GW34? Cheers.
Sakho.
Sakho
Spurs vs Pool predictions?
Worried i have too much attacking coverage in thatOne of the hardest games to call all season. Especially after an international break.
Liverpool are so annoying, one of the most unpredictable teams in the league. Praying they turn Spurs over as a Leicester fan but think a draw is the most likely. 1-1.
I'm thinking the same with Leicester vs West Ham..
I expect Spurs to win 1 or 2 to nil
2-1 Liverpool
Morning People! How is it going!?
Still trying to plot away through 33-38.
Hmm, i thought about not bothering for this week due to knowing my opinion will change bar injuries etc. I am really tempted to go Kunless if KDB is fit.
If KDB is fit all the more reason to go Kun as well imho.
This, I want both..
Actually that does make sense, but its both games away and Kun returning from INT duty and playing at 129301209381203918 altitute for the qualifier. Might get rested for next GW and maybe even for CL. 30 minutes or so per game if they are not winning. This is absolutely speculation.
Headwrecking, and therefore so much fun.
Cant stop tinkering.Any new additions to your plans? 😀
Not sure if I can justify Reid anymore with their defensive form and their fixtures.. pretty sure I'm punting on Klose.. my GK spot is a revolving door..
Also trying to pick one between Alli/Gradel/Eriksen/KdB/Liverpool for the 5th mid...Pff thats a big conundrum, how come Gradel is there? My GK pairing is MOST LIKELY DDG / Elliot. Most likely. I want to get Gomes in tho.
Also think that i will be getting Cresswell for WHU. Believe he has a goal in him in the doubles with payet assist. :DDDD
I would most likely get a LIV mid for the DGW, too much of a waste not too. Also, MIGHT just MIGHT punt on Mata....That's exactly where I'm at with the keepers.. DDG has the fixtures, but Gomes arguably has better form.. United have been very lucky in defence recently and have conceded shots at a quicker ratio than nearly any other team.. although they have had tough fixtures and their DGW34 looks unbeatable for CSs.
Gradel is a potential punt.. City defending badly away from home withouyt Kompany and Hart, and then Villa after that.. and thjen swap GRadel for a DGW34 player of choice (KdB?)Oh you just WC'ed? Well that kinda changes the perspective 😀
I will not go with more than 1 UTD defender (DDG) just dont see them being good. My problem with that GK pairing is beyond gw 35. Might have to suck it up.
I will not touch MCI defenders. Just dont give anything for their price.Agree with everything there.
Current draft is looking like this:
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/12967936To be fair, i do not like the midfield. I would ship KOSC for someone else. Maybe another DGW player (Maybe punt on Janmaat aka red card boy), and get Sanchez for the last Mid slot. I do believe he will be in the points in those games. I am afraid Ozil wont.
Also, would get DDG over ELLIOT. I know its way more expensive, but shipping Kosc to someone else should free funds? Could you tinker with that a little bit and see what you get?Elliot has been a mainstay due to his price enabling so much and Rafa improving Newcastle's defence so much in so little time.. plus I need a GW35 keeper. Strongly considering DDG in for Gomes though.
How about this?
DDG - Elliot
Bellerin - Fuchs - Reid - Simpson - Klose
Ozil - Sanchez/KdB - Payet - Mahrez - Lanzini
Kane - Kun - LukakuI actually quite like that a lot. Really good draft.
I wish i could Punt on Sakho up front... Just cant deal with that gw 35 blank. Might just save enough funds to get someone else for him.
How much left ITB?Ta 🙂 just means I have to go against everything I've said to other people about prioritising Arsenal defenders over Sanchez, but he IS so explosive on form.....
Sakho is appealing alright but likely to be rotated / subbed occasionally for Valencia and Carroll.. Especially with the FA Cup.
0.4 left itb with Sanchez in.Yea, very appealing. Well i did the same thing... Remember that famous Kun > Costa punt i told everyone to do? Yea... saved the ft since the news of Costa's broken nose.
I am now actually making my own draft. I REALLY cant see any good defenders to pick apart from ARS one and leaving Huth... I am trying to go with Mata in the midfield 😛Hence why I was doubling on Arsenal defence.. but that means losing Ozil / Sanchez..
Just not that confident in relying on Reid / Klose and not interested in Liverpool at ALL.
Just tried out losing Ozil and Kane... check this one out..
DDG - Elliot
Bellerin - Koscielny - Reid - Klose - Simpson
Sanchez - KdB - Payet - Mahrez - Lanzini
Kun - Lukaku - VardyPfff... That does look appealing, BUT not sure i want to lose Ozil for the double in all honesty. Also, not even sure Kosc can last 2 games. Thats why i am really hesitant. ALso, think that Sanchez is a valid captaincy option for the DGW. I really want some UTD coverage in attack, BUT they are just...
How about Shipping KDB for Mata for the DGW just?
Getting rid of Lanzini for Firmino ? I know you dont like LIV, but kinda would be a shame not to have a mid from there.Sorry Prophet, had to run into a quick meeting!
I really don't want to lose Ozil either, not sure about losing Kane+Fuchs either tbh so probably won't go down this route.
wrt Mata, just not sure if United score enough goals for me.. Firmino is very tempting though, maybe instead of KdB, giving me funds to upgrade elsewhere (no idea where.. Smalling?)
Lots of tinkering left to be done no doubt! 😀
Cheers for the thoughts mate 🙂
A) save a FT, play Alli and bench Siggy
B) Siggy->Willian, bench Alli
C) Alli->Traore, bench Siggy
Who is everyone captaining in GW34
A) Aguero
B) Sanchez
C) Ozil
D) Lukaku
E) Firmino
F) Martial
G) Payet
H) Rashford
Anyone else I missed ?C probably.
Maybe G.Check out captain poll
With the caveat the we are still 3.5 weeks away from GW34... Ozil probably
C or E. Probably C.
B probably
Payet at the moment for me.
Probably B.
All this switching plans between lukaku and kane I see is fraught with danger. We know that we aren't going to get rid of players who are bang in form unless we're chasing, so it seems moot planning four game weeks in advance for exact transfers
My advice? Pick one. Stick with it and focus on rest of the team. There are good attacking options thoughout those squads
Bottom line though. Even with Harry flying, do we really think he is going to score more in 7 games than Lukaku is going to do in 10? Not for me. And that's the decision made.I'm going both but I don't like it. Very slim pickings up front these days.. maybe Welbeck..
If you can afford both go for it. I can't as am married to my triple arsenal punt (bell, ozil, sanchez)
Lukaku
Not even sure people are debating Kane vs Lukaku? Lukaku and Kun are a given for 95% of the people here. The Kane conundrum is for a third DGW player.
Yeah, this. From what I've seen on here anyway.
No. People are saying Harry now. Lukaku for double. Harry for 35 and then Lukaku back in for 37. That is two transfers wasted that is stopping you from getting doubles in 37??
Just put lukaku in 33 or 34 and keep him inOr play both if you can afford it
That does sound silly. Well its the end of the season and people think there will be no injuries / suspensions to their teams and can plan transfers 4 weeks in advance. Doesnt work that way.
I've not seen much of that, but if so does seem a bit silly
Some people still own Vardy like me too. I won't bother selling him i think. On pens, fixtures are excellent and Leicester the most motivated team in the league along with Spurs(although less good fixtures.
Think the likes of Welbeck aren\'t assured of 2 starts, while United strikers have the same no. of games as Vardy/Kane in 3 gameweeks.Fair enough! I will debate what i will do, Kunless is crossing my mind too much lately. Will just have to wait and see. Not even sure who i would be bringing in honestly.
This.. but would you bet on Vardy OVER Kane? Their value-friendly defence is the only reason I ditched Vardy.
I genuinely think he'll outscore Kane over the next 4-week period, but people just see their 2 respective hauls in recent games and think Kane without a doubt
I'm with you, I think Kane is being overhyped after facing Villa and Bournemouth, 2 of the worst defences around, and I don't thik he'll be nearly as efficient over the next few, maybe 2 goals in 4.. Problem is I can't pick anyone else to replace him, fancy Mahrez more than Vardy myself and it also seems risky to double up on Leicester attack as they seem to be grinding out results on the way to the title.. So I'm gambling on Fuchs + Simpson + Mahrez.. but I suppose I could change Kane for Vardy and Simpson to pretty much anyone..
Yeah that makes sense. I already own Vardy and Kane, and just find the former easier to sell as he frees up more money too.
Not sure if this means much but:
Vardy has 3 home games in next 4, Kane has 2.
Vardy plays defences that have conceded a total of 162 goals. Kane plays defences that have conceded a total of 141 goals.*latter, not former
Very interesting... You're making me reconsider..
Vardy is better at home too.. Are you keeping Mahrez?I sold Vardy for Lukaku and really do not regret it at all. I do believe he will outscore him. Do not see Vardy getting more than 1x double digit haul if he even does. Just see LEI 0-0 1-0 MAYBE 2-1 this weekend.
Yup, but I don't see many hauls for Kane with his fixtures either. He has only scored more than 1 goal against the worst of the worst defences..
Thats why i am really debating of shipping him for a DGW punt. I could bring him back in, but will have to see. Not too sure yet. When its closer to the DGW i will decide, but atm he stays in.
Yeah keeping both, but it's easier as i'm wildcarding for week 37. Can get 11 DGW and 4 SGW with just free transfers and have an XI for 35 without a hit
Agree bar the slightly barren run he's currently on. Strikers really are in short supply. Although I do fancy a punt on Troy. Confident Watford will score at least once in the double and he's always involved. I'll be quite happy with 8 points from him in 34.
Yeah i was actually looking at Ighalo too. Just wondering if Flores would rotate with the league not a priority compared to the FA Cup
If there is no rotation, both of them are a really really decent option. Will be looking at them.
He might do. I think Troy is more immune to it. And he gave him a little break in Jan.
Advantage of having extra games is extra potential for bonus points. If Harry gets a hattie, thats 3 bonus points. Lukaku could get 3 extra points in bonuses if he does well, not to mention 3x2 extra sppearance points.
I'm on that knife-edge of having 0.1 more than I need to do the transfers I want for gameweek 34. Having to keep an eye on prices. At the moment Kompany and Vardy are the only ones anywhere near dropping. Got a feeling I'm going to have to do those two out with my two frees in the next few days. Not ideal with the international schedule coming up. Find a cheaper alternative to one of my targets to give myself more time/more of a financial cushion? I don't have a wildcard.
I'm in a similar position, after drawing up a team for the first dgw, I'm worried about prices and injuries more than ever, serves me right for using my wildcard even though it helped massively at the time. How many hits you looking to take from now until gw34 and how many dgw players do you currently have planned to field. I can get at best 10/11 with about 2-3 hits....
About the same. Three hits gives me eleven doublers. Going to play my bench boost as the single gameweek players are good/have decent fixtures. One transfer gives me eleven for gameweek 35. Actually toying with the idea of sticking with Aguero, Kane, Vardy rather than swapping Vardy for Lukaku. Dunno.
Lukaku in vardy out was my first move...looked abit premature after kaku blanked but at least I've beaten the rises. I guess in the position we're in we have little choice but to pull players in when we can do to beat price jump's , as this will be one of our few advantage's over wildcarders who are pulling everyone in on the same week of 33...provided none of them get injured....
I'd hold if you already gave Bellerin. A -4 post internationals is fine if needed.
Right now I'm playing eriksen, alli and kane against liverpool, feels like to many eggs in the same basket. Should I do eriksen>payet for a hit or play siggy ahead of one of eriksen/alli ?
As a Liverpool fan I hope it massively fails 😉
Liverpool fan here also so 6-5 liverpool win would work, what kind of game do you think it will be?
That all depends on which Liverpool team shows up; first half against Southampton, or second half against Southampton...
Or first half of this season.
Sure. The degree of instability in the side was just to brilliantly highlighted last week.
ofc
I've done Eriksen to Payet.
Had Eriksen for a long time but prefer Payet over the next 2/3.Yeah I do too but dont know if it's worth a hit
Risky, as it could backfire. But it is a long term move if you're not WC in 33?
Wc in gw 33 for me
Quite possibly not worth the hit then.
But Eriksen could get 2, Payet could get 13 ...
For GW36 WCers, who do you think we need in GW34, so not to get destroyed by GW33 WCers?
Arsenal defence, United defence?
Ozil? Payet? Firmino?
Lukaku? Aguero?Yeah. All of that...
Less so pool assestsI'm in decent shape for 34, think I might WC for 37.
That more or less sums it up for me, yes.
I have an idea for you. WC in gw 33 and BB in gw 37. That would make it waaay easier to go through first doubles.
I'll have all 7 without issues but most worried about no Sanchez
My Wildcard / BB draft #6. Thoughts about it?
- Mahrez and Morgan my only sgw players.
- Have 2.1 itb to ship Lanzini and Payet for Willian and Cout / Lallana in gw35
DDG - Elliot
Smalling - Rojo - Belle - Sakho - Morgan
Özil - Payet - Firmino - Mahrez - Lanzini
Lukaku - Welbeck - AgueroDecent SV there?
Kane -> Welbeck allows lots of funds to spend elsewhere
but is a huge risk.
Ah yeah, Kane has been in my drafts, that's why I can't afford the rest of that team!
Still considering of keeping him but if it looks like Welbeck is their first choice for gw33-35 I'will pull the trigger
No sanchez no party
Well I hope Welbeck is the party pooper
Altough IF Ramsey is fit for dgw I might get him instead of Welbeck
or maybe Winjaldum instead of Lanzini 🙂
Morgan -> Simpson? Better baps, cheaper..
Triple United is a gamble, but fair enough.
Sakho is a slight gamble too but no blank so it's understandable.
Welbeck is a fantastic gamble.Bought Simpson for 4.0 so keeping him could be an option but he has attacking threat close to zero.
Sakho or Moreno and decided to get Sakho for this draft for same reasons.
Agreed about Welbeck. Could pay off big time or end in tearsTrue, but so does Morgan, he hasn't been doing the business in fpl this year, Huth and Fuchs are the premium options for attacking threat, and Simpson gets the remaining baps over Morgan every week with the exception of last week..
Sakho is a much better option than Moreno with Flanagan around (and not named in the Europa squad, saved for BPL).
Best of luck with it 🙂Thanks for great reply 🙂
and triple United with those fixtures is worth a try imo. Most of us will probably double up with Smalling & DDG so why not triple up?
Is traore locked in for Chelsea vs Villa.
Have 2 FT before WC and looking for one week puntRemy started the last game.
Ah cheers
Fabregas punt?
Moreno not nailed anymore? Haven't seen anyone picking him in WC drafts....
Not with Flanninho about.
The little flan? Rather flattening than flattering nick name.
Who said I was being flattering? 😉 robs us of Moreno!!
He gives you Moreno, when Real Madrid buys him off the Liverpool bench to replace Marcelo. 😉
Better than Arbe-scumbag-loa....

Who are the best triple captaincy candidates? Here's TM245 with the answer
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2016/03/23/triple-captaincy-candidates/
Daniels (avl) for punt of WC GW 33?
Is Sturridge in England squad?
Hey, Bellerin is not in the Spain squad, is he?
u21
Darn, I forgot how young he still is.
Butland, Forster
Ivanovic, Bellerin, Alderweireld, VVD, Huth
Ozil, Siggy, Arnautovic, Mahrez, Alli
Aguero, Kane, Vardy
2FT, 1.2 in bank, WC intact
Any suggestions on how to use my transfer(s)?
Considering changing Ivanovic Siggy or perhaps a keeper..Arnie / Siggy -> Lanzini / Payet
Alderweireld / VvD -> Fuchs / Simpson / Reid / Clyne / Klose
When are ya using the WC?
Hi guys, my first WC DGW44 draft;
Mignolet Elliott
Kosc Bellerin Rojo Janmaat Moreno
Sanchez (C) Coutinho Mahrez Payet Lingard
Lukaku Kun Deeney
1.1 ITB
All feedback is much appreciated.
Can upgrade Moreno - Clyne &/or Coutinho - Firmino if he is back from injury and finding form again.
Thank you!***DGW34
Good team
Kosc and Bell are pretty expensive together, personally i would go with 1, but fair enough..
I also am reserved on Deeney personally, but he is on pennis
My team will be similar, but Mahrez and Lingard out for Lanzini and Yaya probably
