After assessing the Defence and Midfield numbers over the last four matches, we turn our attentions to up front this evening. A number of double Gameweek options arrive under analysis, including Everton, City and Newcastle’s main men, whilst we also compare Arsenal and United’s strikers and doff our cap to Tottenham’s man of the moment after a series of scintillating displays.
I've had double Leicester defence for weeks now with Simpson and Fuchs but have benched Simpson for many of the clean sheets Leicester have had.
Now I'm thinking of benching Williams (sto) for Simpson which would mean double Leicester defence this week, I can't help but feel that this will be the week the conceade to screw me over. Southampton have looked like improving too.
They might concede, no way of knowing. I do know you should play Simpson over Williams though
SOT will score
Pelle was amazing for Southampton against us. He's a big boost for them. I'd play Williams. He gets so many bonus pts.
He seems to only get them when they keep a cleanie though.
Evening lads, ignoring gw33 where I will have a couple of Palace place holders in place, what's the best 13.2 max combo to fit the last 2 places on my wildcard here;
Robles Elliot
Smalling Otamendi Belllerin Sakho Ake
Sanchez Ozil Firmino Payet ***
Aguero Lukaku ***
A: Rashord Coutinho (This is my current favourite)
B: Mitrovic Milner (boring but safe(ish)
C: Martial Antonio (looks good at first sight but gw35 problematic)
D: Suggest other (13.2 max)
A makes most sense. C looks good but GW35 problems
Cheers, if I go A its Rashord in now and Dann and Bolasie place holding for Cout and Smalling.
Sounds good lad
You watch Noble's testimonial today? Caught the highlights, looked a memorable dayDidn't go but seen some of the goals, Ashton's and Adrian's, brilliant stuff, Deano still got it 🙂
Rashford and Firmino work?
Nevermind you have Firmino! Coutinho's a good pick too.
Cheers
Gonna say B as I did yesterday, both on pens is huge...
Good point 🙂
Is Milner on pens when Sturridge plays
No idea but I guess not, though I'm afraid Studge could already be or get injured in dgw..
Apparently starting for England against thd Dutch.Oh well that's an injury waiting to happen
Why the Otamendi love?
Immediate fixtures, double, plus gw35 game
I'd rather shove Rojo in there
Rojo not nailed though, plus two tricky games in 32 and 33 and no game in 35
What do we think the Chelsea formation will be vs Villa?
10-0-0
Team line up I mean
4231
I think Oscar will start against them.
Matic / Fabregas
Willian / Oscar / Pedro
Remy

Let's see if this works!!Nope!
Things would be easier if Gabriel was a certain starter
And a lot more boring though.....
Thing is, I don't thibk there are very many nailed on players that'll play majority minutes in all the doubles. There will be a lot of rotation
Bellerin
Smalling
Kosc?
Both probably safe, but it's a minefield elsewhere+1
I am sure people think this with arsenal defenders every year and Wenger pretty much sticks to his preferred choices. No idea why Monreal is being mentioned as rotation threat
He's pretty nailed, but can see Gibbs playing some part
Other than the injury hasn't Gibbs only came on to play in front of Monreal recently?
Yeah, but he's a left back by trade. So could easily feature
For what it's worth, I'm bringing both Bells and Monreal in on my WCMe as well
Pick one strategy :
A. Safe : Kane + Mahrez + Simpson + Barkley
Can have full 11 for GW35 using 2FT and no hits
B. Risk : Sanchez + Bolasie + Dann + Deeney
Can have full 11 for GW35 only if I take a -8 hit
Chasing ML leader who has no WC or TC, and leads by 70 pts.
What do you think ?A
Cheers Berb
Who would be a safer punt for this weekend (I don't want Willian):
A) Oscar
B)Pedro
Hmmm, wouldn't feel comfortable with either of them...
I don't know about safer but if was picking one player from the whole league this week it would be Oscar. It's a punt but it could be very very rewarding. I think he could be explosive against Villa.
I suspect both Leicester and Spurs will both drop points this weekend. I'm actually quite confident Southampton will beat Leicester (Thought Koeman had a good measure of them when he was on MNF for the Lei vs New game). Expect Arsenal to be right back in the title race by the end of the weekend.
Whether this helps or hinders their fantasy assets - we don't knowArsenal as good as they play, mentally, are bottlers.
Will Hennessey likely register any points in his GW34 DGW against ars and mun?
Yeah he will
Though they could be minus points
@accounting on Chris.
Definitely tough. Pressure has definitely got to you men now.
Looks like the Burton vs Wigan game is gunna be a massive game for both of us.
Hopefully we both get promoted. I'm not fussed about the title right now. Just want to go up.
I think you men will be the new bornemouth, you'll will be in the premier league in 5 years.Is Pedro 100% nailed for this weekend with Hazard out?
What an awful season Hazard has had
My boy Traore might start. Guus giving the kids a chance
Would you rather start Huth SOT or Eriksen liv
Eriksen!
Eriksen
Two bets for me this weekend that I think hold good value.
Oscar to score 2 or more @ 11/1
Oscar to score first and Chelsea to win 3-1 @ 90/1So Oscar 100% nailed them?
No bets hold good value. Bookmakers pay odds compilers a lot of money so that they can't be beaten.
What a load of rubbish
So no then? Haha
You clearly don't understand the meaning of value.
bookmakers are odds compilers. that's essentially what they do
lol what breeze
Move on folks, nothing to see here.
Been away a few days...this is my current gw33 wildcard (bb34)...gives me 9 for gw35....I'm pretty happy with it...any views?...cheers
Ddg Elliott
Koscielny smalling Reid Simpson sakho
Ozil Sanchez mahrez firmino lanzini
Kun lukaku Deeney / rashford
Any views?...thanks
Once again the big numbers article provides the perspective I need. Best thing about being a member as I am too lazy to dig through the stats myself.
Stats on Man U and their forwards the most interesting.+1
Hang on a minute, if I want to BB G34 and WC. Do I have to WC 32 and then activate Bench boost 33?
You have to activate BB after the GW33 deadline has passed, if that's what you mean.
So your saying I have to activate my bench boost after gw 38 ? 😉
No, you can WC before GW 33, and then play BB for GW34.
Wildcard 33 and Bench boost 34 . It's a chip the same as the all out attack chip
Hi all - if I have 2FTs, but play my wildcard, does my extra transfer roll over to next week? Or am I back to 1 next week?
Back to 1
That's what I thought - but wasn't sure if things had changed due to the 'chips'. Thanks Jarvish.
Interesting to see Fabregas sniffing the arses of the usual suspects in the captains poll and preceding the likes of Ozil, Mahrez & Vardy.
Punty, Punty, Punty! 😀
No
Yo!
I have Willian however is he at risk if not playing away at Villa given the internationals? Brazil play on 30th
Is it safe to bench Firmino vs Spurs?
“It’s really big for us. We let him come in this morning, training light – no real challenges, he could pass a few balls and things like this,” Klopp began.
“But it was really good and he felt absolutely nothing, so from tomorrow he is completely back in the race, which is very important for us.
“Roberto Firmino is in a good way and Lucas [Leiva] is in a good way here. Joe Gomez and Danny Ings can work really hard and use the time here.
“It’s good for all. We are close together and it’s a nice camp, to be honest. It’s really good, a lot of swimmers around us! The best swimmers of Germany I saw here.

Please rate my wildcard team
Mignolet Elliot
Bellerin smalling cresswell simpson sakho
Ozil Payet Mahrez Alli Coutinho
Aguero Lukaku Kane
I know that simpson mahrez alli and kane don't have dew's but I don't see any other players in their price range that justify displacing them.
Let's see
Would go Robles over Elliot, since he has a dgw in both gw33 and 34
Defence looks good, although Smalling --> Rojo if you need the cash
Front 8 looks good as well besides both Alli and Mahrez, not a fan either, would go with just 1 of them + Firmino/Sanchez (prob too expensive)
Have I missed a trick then?
So will the GW33 WC have to take into account the GW33 games (for the DGW34)One chip per round - WC counts as a chip
The wildcard is a chip . The bench boost is a chip . You can't play two chips in the one week . It makes no sense to bench boost and then wildcard . Everyone is going to play their wildcard after the gw 32 deadline and before gw 33 . Everyone will then play their bench boost after the gw 33 deadline and before the gw 34 deadline .
Thanks! Wow I nearly missed a huge trick here
Agreed. Though with a few weeks and 4-5 transfers available I might just build up a good dgw team for 34 then wc to sort my team out afterwards for 35
I was explaining how people on here are using the wildcard and the bench boost rather than encouraging a strategy if you get me . I merely used 33 and 34 because that is my plan I don't have the t.v to wait and I have two expensive goalies Courtois and Fabianski so I am in no position to wait .
Yeap
How many games do we think Barkley will play out of 4 in GW33 and 34
all of them
All of them, Martinez is under pressure.
I haven't heard anything about a rest
He won't play all of them. The Semi-Final will define Martinez's future, not the league. We are already too far away in the league.
4.
2FT and 2.0 ITB. Need to make one change this week (Butland) or just play Hen? and look elsewhere before I then WC for GW33.
Assuming I use my 1FT to replace Butland, what is the best option, Robles? Cech (if fit?) I have 3 Leicester already.
Thanks
For a one week punt its Courtois, Cech (if confirmed fit) or if your feeling ballsy...Ruddy.
argghhh so many choices for cap this gw....................only one guarantee is ill pick the blanker 🙁
I'm going Mahrez, though majority likely to go with the likes of Aguero/Kane
all great choices..........agueros form worries me, but then hes the kind of player who can randomly pull a 5er out of no where
payet and arnie are good punts too
Will be Payet or Sergio for me. Probably Kun.
Pages slow tonight.
Anybody going for Fabregas as a differential post GW34?
maybe just for 33
I'm going with Willian, he's cheaper
Price aside, do you think Willian is a better pick? I know he's been the form man this season but is he not more of a rotation threat the less Chelsea have to play for?
Honestly, I don't know 😀
Better option in your opinion for GW33 onwards?
A. Mahrez - sun, WHM, SWA, mun, EVE, che
B. Barkley - wat/cpl, SOT/liv,____, BOU, lei/sun, NOR
Bought Mahrez back late so both worth 7.1. My OR is around 24k.Is Lennon also an option?
He could be but as he's not nailed surely Barkley is the better option no?
Lennon seems nailed as well, but not sure, I'm going with him considering he and Lukaku seem to be the only ones scoring
In a single GW he would be but Everton have so many wide options he's unlikely to start both games IMO and not enough upside to take the punt.
Two doubles in a row suggests Barkley, but I wouldn't like to not own Mahrez in 35 for example. No way you can have both?
Thanks but not really when I'm on Ozil, Sanchez, Payet and Cout
My favourite Sanchez WC:
Robles, Elliot,
Monreal, Rojo, Simpson, Sakho, Souare
Firmino, Ozil, Sanchez, Coutinho, Mahrez,
Aguero, Lukaku, Martial,Nice, have a +1
No Payet, no Party
Don't like Monreal or Rojo. Maybe Firmino/Cout > Lanzini (as you've got no Payet) and upgrade to Kosc, Smalling and Fuchs.
Happy with Robles & Elliot to see you to the end of the season?
I think Monreal is as nailed on as Kosc - He actually has the most minutes of any Arsenal defenders this term. I dont mind Robles and Elliot - they will get save points and a few clean sheets and it helps with my attacking options.
Rojo will have to do, because Smalling and De Gea are out of budget. I also think that Rojo has the best goal threat of the United defenders in FPL.
I decided against Payet, but might change my mind. My logic is that Arsenal at home and Leicester away are not great fixtures whilst he has a blank in 36. Watford also defend well and I dont see alot of goals in that one.
On the other hand, Liverpool's run of Stoke (H), Bournemouth (A), Everton (H) and Newcastle (H) is very tempting.
My main issue is whether to go with or without Sanchez.
if i can manage to have this team below by gw34 with a single hit which also make me play gw35 with all 11 players. should i postpone my wc and bb till the last dgw?? does that seem the right choice?
mignolet hennessey
bellerin sakho/moreno delaney (daniels targett)
barkley ozil sanchez mahrez (stans)
augero lukaku kaney
BB gives you an extra 2 defenders. ARS & MUN have better CS prospects in 34 than 37 which is why I'm going WC33 BB34 TC37. Also, lineups face more rotation risk in 37 for teams still in the cup/Europa and those who have nothing to play for
Am I right in thinking that even with the DGWs Ward is still a worse option than Simpson?
Correct. The days of Wardinho are passed 🙁
i agree
Yep it rather have Simpson.
Thanks, thought so.
