After delving into the Defensive data over the last four matches earlier this week, we turn our attentions to the centre of the park. With double Gameweek shopping in mind, we compare some of the West Ham, Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle midfielders, before casting an eye over the upturn in form from Leicester’s talismanic wide man.

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

    Cech (Schmeichel)
    Bellerín - Toby - Azpi (Williams and VVD)
    Mahrez - Ozil - Siggy - Arnie (Ritchie)
    Kun - Vardy - Rondon

          Siggy to Willian maybe.

            That´s what I think I will do, yeah, thanks mate. 🙂

    Alexis playing CF for Chile. Let's see if he's brought his shooting boots...

    Curious to know:

    Does the DGW for Everton and Palace change the minds of those who were going to WC in GW33 to now?

    And is anyone who is NOT WC'ing going for any Palace, or just Everton?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Need a few injuries to change to 32.

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 18 days ago

      Still 33.

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 18 days ago

        Same

    3. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 18 days ago

      I'm going WC in GW32. Partly because I'm miles behind and need to do something in my league. Plus I'm scared I won't be able to afford the team I want if I wait. So I'll bring in 3 x Eve now

    4. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 18 days ago

      Interesting points fellas.

  4. KingOllie
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 18 days ago

    Help my friends
    A) ddg + jags + ozil

    B) robles + rojo + sanchez

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 18 days ago

      B)

      1. KingOllie
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 18 days ago

        Is that mainly due to sanchez?

        1. Ayew Serious
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 18 days ago

          Well, not exactly

          I don't think Robles and Rojo is much worse than DDG Jags

  5. Earn your Spurs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 18 days ago

    OK, I'm stuck! Looking at this team for GW34 but need to save £1.3m. One option is to trade down Firmino to Milner but will he play if everyone is fit? Other ideas please?

    DDG, Cech
    Smalling, Bellerin, Sakho, Clyne, Funes Mori
    Barkley, KDB, Firmino, Ozil, Shelvey
    Aguero, Lukaku, Rashford

    Bring in Defoe/ Azpi in GW35
    Bring in Deeney/ Ighalo for -4 in GW36
    Bring in Mata in GW37

    Thanks 🙂

      Downgrade a GK.

      1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 18 days ago

        Yeah, that works too.

        1. Earn your Spurs
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 18 days ago

          Guess I'm keen to have these 2 throughout due to their fixtures. Who would you switch down to?

          1. TorresMagic™

            • 16 Years
            10 years, 18 days ago

            Elliot does a job in 35.

    2. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 18 days ago

      Surely just accept the risk on Rojo and downgrade Smalling?

      1. Earn your Spurs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 18 days ago

        Nice idea - do you think he's pretty nailed on looking ahead?

        1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 18 days ago

          Yeah, CBJ is going to be backup and there are no senior players challenging for that position. Some risk he may be subbed before 60, but equally a chance he gets subbed on 65 and banks a CS that the other defenders go on to lose.

    3. che

      Barkley to Lennon. Lennon in good form

      1. Earn your Spurs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 18 days ago

        Thanks - like this idea too

  6. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 18 days ago

    Darmian or Rojo?

    Or neither?

    Really fancy a Man u defence for DGW and can't afford DDG.

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 18 days ago

      Rojo

      1. Weasel Boy

    Evening all. Given the DGW33 news, what the best option for this team? Saving WC for 36

    ______,
    Bellerin, _____, Dann
    Sanchez, Ozil, Payet, _____
    Kun, Kane, Lukaku

    Elliot, ______, SImpson, WIlliams

    A) DDG, Rojo, Mahrez, Ali - Free
    B) Robles, Smalling, Mahrez, Ali - Free
    C) DDG, Rojo, Lennon, Mahrez - -4
    D) Robles, Smalling, Lennon, Mahrez - -4

  8. White Hart Kane
    • 14 Years

    Anyone still thonking they'll WC36 and BB37?

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 18 days ago

      Yep, still will. Only decision is whether to take a hit to get Lennon in and who to TC (Luaku in 33 or Sanchez in 34)

      1. White Hart Kane
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 18 days ago

        Not worried about lack of options in GW37 due to rotation?

        1. Swan - Villa Proud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 18 days ago

          No I think there will be options especially from teams in a relegation fight or CL/EL spot. Just as much threat of rotation in 34 imo

  9. VS10_
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 18 days ago

    This pitch looks good, is it the next Argentina game where the pitch is horrible?

    1. Josse
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 18 days ago

      Im not watching but someone said that earlier so yes..

  10. Pochecinno
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 18 days ago

    What's the verdict on Wijnaldum under Rafa?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 18 days ago

      Compare the last 2 🙂

    2. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 18 days ago

      Playing too far back for my liking

    3. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years

      Cheers guys

  11. Laporte In A Storm
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 18 days ago

    All you '2 or more eve/cry' drafters - how are you tackling gw35? I just can't get a decent gw35 squad if I push the eve/cry issue further than just Lukaku

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 18 days ago

      No WC?

      1. Laporte In A Storm
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 18 days ago

        No, but I think my q still stands for anyone wild carding in 33. Is there a team that 1) makes use of cry/eve, 2) has substantial dgw 34 coverage and 3) plays an 11 in 35? If you still have a wc by 35 then yeah, it's far easier.

        Personally I'm still gonna wc in 37

        1. VS10_
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 18 days ago

          Keeping a couple of LEI/TOT players makes it pretty easy and then two ft's before 35.

        2. I Member
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 18 days ago

          My draft has 4 DGW33 players, 11 DGW34 players and 11 GW35 players (after 2 FTs).

          1. Laporte In A Storm
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 18 days ago

            Woah, good work, I just can't seem to put one of those together!

    2. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 18 days ago

      Robles is easy to fit in if your second keeper plays 35.

  12. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 18 days ago

    Chile vs Argentina is all action 🙂
    Aguero still uninjured after 8 minutes.

    1. FISSH

      on tv?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights

        It is for me 😎

  13. Pochecinno
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 18 days ago

    Which Everton/Palace mid is the best option for a 2 DGW punt?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 18 days ago

      Bolasie/Lennon/Barkley or Barry(Triggerlips)

  14. Elijah's Wood
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 18 days ago

    How does this look?

    GW33 WC

    Robles Mignolet
    Dann Gabriel Rojo Simpson S.Taylor
    Sanchez Mahrez Payet Firmino Bolasie
    Lukaku Kane Aguero

    GW34 BB:

    Dann + Bolasie -> Bellerin + Lanzini (-4)

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 18 days ago

      5 outfield blanks for 35 and 1 FT?, prepared to take another hit?

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 18 days ago

        I count 10 players with games in 35 once the 34 transfers are done?

        1. Elijah's Wood
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 18 days ago

          Ignore this I'm being stupid lol, might just play with 10 men

          1. Ayew Serious
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 18 days ago

            Fair enough

  15. Ayew Serious
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 18 days ago

    Robles Elliott
    Kosc Smalling Reid Sakho Ward
    Sanchez Payet Lanzini Firmino Coutinho
    Aguero Lukaku Mitrovic
    0.2 itb

    That's not so bad is it?

    1. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 18 days ago

      Very decent

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 18 days ago

        Cheers mate, try find something to improve on 😉

    2. Elijah's Wood
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 18 days ago

      Not worried about getting rid of Kane? I wish I could go all in with 15.

      I like the look of your team except for the Liverpool double up mids, might be golden, might be overkill

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 18 days ago

        I am extremely worried but I decided to go all out because it's a game and why not. The idea of 30 players is so exciting

        My Liverpool biased is convinced it's going to be Golden 😀

        1. Elijah's Wood
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 18 days ago

          Liverpool attacking double up is more recommended than a defensive one, just quite expensive but not sure there's really anyone else in that price range.

          Liking the mitrovic pick though! The bench boost has certainly made the wildcard even more appealing!

    3. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 18 days ago

      Solid mate although not keen on a West Ham double up in midfield

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 18 days ago

        Lingard in for Lanzini is something I'm thinking about

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 18 days ago

          i like that

  16. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 18 days ago

    When are people WC then?

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 18 days ago

      33 still. More so now

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 18 days ago

  18. Sánchez
    • 13 Years

    Many Everton and Palace are you getting if going gw33 wc?

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years

      3, maybe 4

    2. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 18 days ago

      Probably only Lukaku/Robles

    3. KingNidge

      3

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 18 days ago

        Lukaku obviously

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 18 days ago

    4. che
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

    7. heraty88
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 18 days ago

      4. Robles, lennon/barkley, lukaku and ward. Will get rid of ward for 34 then.

    8. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 18 days ago

      4 🙂

    9. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 18 days ago

      Right, so Lukaku, Robles/Hennessy, Barkley and maybe 1 other. Not far from where I am

    10. leo_messi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

  20. KingOllie
    • 10 Years

      M

  21. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 18 days ago

    Would you WC this

    Hennesy Elliott
    Bellerin Ward Huth Dier Bertrand
    Payet Wijnaldum Barkley Mahrez Alli
    Kane Vardy Aguero

    Can get 9 dgw34 without hits and 4 dgw 33 if i go Vardy to Lukaku
    Can the TC 34 and WC after for the 37 bench boost

    1. KingOllie
      • 10 Years

      Id wc36 i think

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 18 days ago

        Who would you get in after lukaku?
        Im without arsenal and man utd attack
        Thinking arsenal but no utd is risky

      Ivanovic

  23. Murder on Zidane's Flo…

    Chile down two players to injury inside 20 minutes...

  24. TorresMagic™

    2 injured Chilean mids before the 20 minute mark.

  25. I Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 18 days ago

    How does this look? Bare in mind I used BB already so don't need more than 11 DGW players in 34.

    Robles, Elliot
    Bellerin, Rojo, Sakho, Ward, Simpson
    Sanchez, Ozil, Firmino, Mahrez, Barkley
    Aguero, Lukaku, Rashford

    2 FTs will give me 11 in GW35.
