We cast an eye over some of the main lessons learned from Gameweek 32 this evening, with particular attention paid to those sides with upcoming doubles. There’s no shortage of Fantasy options amongst Arsenal and West Ham’s midfields, City’s big-hitting Belgian is back, Rafa Benitez can’t afford to tinker with his Newcastle strikers, whilst United’s summer signing from Monaco loves his home comforts.

Alexis is finally back in form…
The Arsenal winger has timed his upturn in output to perfection as Fantasy managers reassemble their squads ahead of double Gameweek 34. Whilst Mesut Ozil has failed to produce any points over the last four, Sanchez has earned points on each occasion, with a goal, assist and maximum bonus earning him a 14-point haul at home to Watford. Already subject to a price hike this weekend, the Chilean is poised for a major bandwagon over the run-in, with clashes against Sunderland, Norwich and Villa following also factored in over the final four Gameweeks.

It’s Iwobi’s place to lose…
It’s back-to-back goals for the Arsenal youngster after he followed up his strike at Goodison by finding the net in the home romp over Watford. Iwobi’s immediate impact has surely ensured he remains ahead of Theo Walcott and Joel Campbell for the role out wide and with Ozil toiling, Iwobi, at a mere 4.5, may well be worth the gamble for that pair of home clashes with Palace and West Brom in Gameweek 34.

De Bruyne has hit the ground running…
Handed a central support role behind Sergio Aguero as Manuel Pellegrini rolled out a 4-2-3-1 at Bournemouth, the Belgian wasted no time in serving a reminder of his Fantasy potential. Afforded just 56 minutes on his return from injury, De Bruyne still managed to grab a goal and fire four attempts at Dean Court. Now up to 5.5 points per appearance – equal with Sergio Aguero and fourth amongst midfielders – De Bruyne looks a deadly differential for the doubles, with a mere 5% ownership right now.

Rafa can’t afford to bench Mitrovic…
After grabbing a late leveler against Sunderland in the previous Gameweek, the Serbian was surprisingly dropped to the bench for Newcastle’s trip to Norwich as Rafa Benitez opted for Papiss Cisse up front instead. Whilst his team-mates continued to toil, Mitrovic needed less than half an hour as a second-half sub at Carrow Road to find the net twice, firing six attempts inside the box in the 3-2 loss. Having scored all three of his side’s goals since the new manager’s arrival, the former Anderlecht frontman looks far too vital to his side’s survival bid to be warming the bench again.

Old Trafford suits Martial…
A 1-0 win over Everton keeps United very much in the last for a top-four finish and strengthened Anthony Martial’s claim for consideration. The Frenchman’s winning strike – which also helped secure maximum bonus – means he has now scored or assisted in five of his last seven appearances at Old Trafford. Martial has bagged four goals, three assists and ten bonus points over that period (compared to one away strike since Gameweek 6) and with back-to-back home encounters against Villa and Palace in double Gameweek 34, looks another one to consider for our wildcard plans.

Kane’s consistency may well force a wildcard re-think…
An equaliser at Anfield took the Spurs striker’s tally to six goals and an assist over the last four Gameweeks. Impressively, Kane has therefore played a part in seven of his side’s last eight strikes over that period as he almost single-handedly keeps Tottenham’s title tilt alive. Whereas the likes of Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy are struggling for points as Leicester grind out the results, Kane’s deadly eye for goal could persuade plenty to hold firm despite the lack of a double on his upcoming agenda.

Lanzini could be the pick of the budget bunch…
The West Ham midfielder took his tally to 19 points in the last two Gameweeks courtesy of a goal and maximum bonus in the 2-2 draw with Palace. Despite the availability of James Tomkins, Slaven Bilic’s decision to employ Michail Antonio at right-back dented the former Forest flier’s appeal as we assess our wildcard options At a price of just 4.9, Lanzini – currently owned by less than 1% of FPL managers – looks to have barged his way past Antonio and, as evidenced by Saturday’s showing, could even rival Dimitri Payet as the best route into Bilic’s attack ahead of doubles in Gameweek 34 and 37.

Hiddink will chop and change now…
After hinting at rest and rotation for the trip to Villa, the Chelsea interim manager was as good as his word on Saturday lunchtime. Hiddink named Matt Miazga, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Kenedy in his first XI and also introduced Alexandre Pato and Jake Clarke-Salter off the bench for their Blues debuts in the 4-0 rout. With the champions having little more than pride left to play for, further teamsheet alterations can be expected and may well steer most away from the Stamford Bridge side over the run-in.

Coutinho’s star is on the rise…
With Roberto Firmino still stuck in the treatment room and Daniel Sturridge looking far from fully fit, the former Inter man has emerged as the choice route into Liverpool’s attack. Coutinho’s opener at home to Spurs on Saturday evening took his tally to two goals and three assists in his last four league outings and has earned him over 35,000 new owners so far second only to Ross Barkley in our midfield shake-ups. With five home fixtures allied with trips to Bournemouth, Swansea and West Brom in the final six Gameweeks, that bandwagon looks set to escalate.

Lennon may be immune from Martinez’ tinkering…
The Toffees manager’s decision to reinstall Gerard Deulofeu to the right wing resulted in a surprise new role for the former Leeds man. With Tom Cleverley stationed on the left, Lennon tucked in centrally behind Romelu Lukaku for the first hour or so before moving to the right after Deulofeu was subbed off. With question marks continuing to hover over the Everton rearguard and with Ross Barkley looking out of sorts, Lennon’s appeal is on the rise ahead of those consecutive doubles.

Hughes needs to find a place for Bojan…
With Jon Walters joining Xherdan Shaqiri on the sidelines, the little Spaniard was afforded a rare start for the visit of Swansea. Stationed in “the hole” behind Joselu, Bojan was instrumental throughout and bagged a goal and maximum bonus in the 2-2 stalemate, taking his tally to six strikes and two assists in just 19 league starts. Impressively, Bojan has converted 19.4% of his scoring opportunities this season – that’s the same as Jamie Vardy – and with the Potters desperate to clinch a Europa League slot, his contribution could be key.

    Moreno or Sakho?

    Can get either.

    1. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sakho. BAP magnet. More nailed.

      1. mojoindojo
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thx. Moreno keeps tantalizing with his forward forays though.

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Moreno.

      If momey no object then Clyne is a better option though.

    3. Mahesh_Kumar
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Moreno is pretty nailed

    4. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Moreno.

      If money is no object then Clyne is the best option, though.

    5. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years

      Sakho. Moreno rotation alert.

    6. Goetze No idea
      • 10 Years

      sakho

    7. Pirlø's Pen
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Was just about to post a comment similar to this. Sakho more nailed I reckon but Moreno has more attacking threat, but could see Flanagan playing one of the games which is rubbish.

    Taking a chance on Rasford as Rooney might not make it for the next 2 gws considering he hasn't had a run out till yet. Any thoughts on this wc team? Cheers

        I prefer ozils fixtures more. Plus city has UCL as well to deal with

      Sahko over Moreno. Otherwise looks good!

    Wohoo Schmeichel rose in price! 0.1 more to work with 🙂

    Considering Iwobi over Ozil though for 5M more to work with 😀

  7. zøphar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    the only lineup which accomodates all the MFs I want

    DDG / Darlow
    Gabriel Simpson Moreno Delaney 4.3def
    Ozil Sanchez KDB Payet Coutinho
    Rashford Aguero Lukaku

    Cant find anyone to fill the last 4.3 def spot

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      That would be Ward for this week and transfer him out gw35 after his doubles

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        For who though? Not much in 4.3m def range...he also has Rashford...

        😕

        1. Whazza
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          A shame Morgan is 4.4.. He will have to make another transfer to free up some funds :p

    2. GAMBIT
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Simpson?

      1. Whazza
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Is there

        1. GAMBIT
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Oops! Yeah Ward seems like an option

    3. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nice rank Z(again)

      Have you turned your back for good on Kane? Plan with Rashford in 35?

      1. zøphar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        thanks mate
        Yes, Kane had to be let go to accomodate the likes of Coutinho, Lukaku Sanchez etc.. not too fussed

        the problem with that draft specifically is the exit route for rashford!, ill have to sell lukaku for defoe and ward for PVA.. then downgrade ozil in 37 to payet and bring in lukaku for rashford

        all a bit messy..
        this is my safe, likely draft

        Robles, Darlow
        Smalling Simpson Gabriel Moreno Ward
        Ozil Sanchez Mahrez Coutinho Payet
        Martial Lukaku Aguero

        here the exit options are much neater, defoe and ivan in for martial and ward

        1. Christina.
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Aah, I prefer 2nd draft. Protect your rank and sets you up as you say for exits.

          Not going back then to Kane for 35? Captain choice in 35 will be massive with the top players going kane(c) I reckon.

          1. zøphar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years

              Stoke is City's bogey team. Beat them 1-0 at Etihad last season.

                west brom dont concede much to forwards from what ive seen. pack the box, surround the CF with their CBs. goals usually come from midfield against them

    4. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Olsson?

      1. zøphar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        lost his spot to Evans apparently, Chester LB

    5. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      DDG ---> Roebles and punt on Rojo - may as well stink up the defence completely;)

      1. zøphar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        even i couldnt take that stinky a def 😉

    6. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights

      10 years, 1 month ago

      Couple of risky ones art the back there.

      Moreno & Gabriel, I suppose Ward or Olsonn for 4.3m

      Not great but...

      1. zøphar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        hi evs,
        yeah , pl see the safe draft.. this one i just came up with after jamming the power 5 mids in there.. really want KDB

        1. Evs
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Soon as you get KDB & Sanchez, with the two big guns upto it does hamstring you a little.

          Tricky one

    7. Lateriser 12

        good mate, enjoying the wildcard tinkering. to keep ozil or not is the deciding question

    8. zøphar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      dummett could be back

    9. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I know that is difficult but sell Ozil and get Lennon/Bolasie/ Lanzini and use money to make nice team man!

    10. Elijah's Wood

      Kirchhoff

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        been toying with kirchoff and klose there

    11. tsx5000
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You could do Ozil to Lingard and get Martial for Rashford and a better defender.

  8. EmreCan Hustle

    Off topic.

    Looking at Arsenal's season I feel they lost the title(probably) because of the lack of steel and leadership in midfield.

    Which of the following players do you feel can fix that problem;

    A) Saul Niguez
    B) Marco Verratti
    C) Granit Xhaka
    D) Elneny/Wilshere

    I don't think Ramsey is cut out for the centre of the park. He leaves Coquelin alone and goes on the attack. He also struggles to pick a pass quickly enough before being closed down. Plus he often tries to be too extravagant instead of keeping it short and simple.
    I left Pogba out for obvious reasons.

    Thanks.

    Sold Mahrez & Kane yesterday.
    Now just waiting Aguero injury and buying Kane back for 0.4m more.

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sorry, I missed this...

      What injury?

      1. Whazza
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        He is trying the reverse jinx

      2. FFFrog
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I assume he's saying that he's hoping Aguero will get injured.

        1. Mr Sarcastic
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Wow, did I really phrase it that badly!

      3. Mr Sarcastic
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Only thinking that no doubt he will get injured now 🙂
        New site, new look, accidently hit + vote for that, You're welcome 🙂

      Scary selling those heavy-investment players isn't is!? I let Ozil go yesterday.

      Kane is staying though

      1. Mr Sarcastic
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Very much so and KDB didn't even rise yesterday so I could have waited one more day with those golden boys.

        1. Jøssy ⭐
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          It looked like a good possibility he'd survive one more day, but I decided that by the end of today I won't have any more information to sway my decision, so if a price rise tonight would have pushed me I may as well have just jumped.

  10. Jøssy ⭐
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Come on DZers... One reply?

    I have just one decision to make, regarding Mahrez...

    Mignolet - Gomes
    Bellerin - Fuchs - Sakho - Gabriel - Delaney
    Sanchez - De Bruyne - Payet - Coutinho - Mahrez
    Aguero - Kane - Mitrovic

    A) Keep for GW33, sun fixture
    B) Take a GW33 punt on Bolasie
    C) Move now to my intended GW34 purchase of Lanzini (play Mitrovic in GW33)

    Leaning towards A at the moment actually. Just don't have any real faith in Bolasie, two games or not.

    NB. This ream is entered in a Liverpool Supporters Club ML, my main cash league, and I'm not permitted to own Utd or Everton players.

    What d'ya reckon?

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights

      I think I would keep v Sunderland myself.

        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks Evs!!

        Also very sensible in my ML, where I have a 50 point lead (and I can already see my closest rival with WC in hand, is not using it!!). So no need to take the risk

            10 years, 1 month ago

            Mahrez in 33,34 and 35 plus a low cost punt/VVD/Okazaki in 35

            OR

            Bolasie in 33 and 34 plus Pelle(avl) in 35

            1. Evs
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Hmmm...

              2nd one seems sensible given the DGWs, and I don't like the Okazaki shout tbh.

              I would be wary offloading Mahrez with your good rank, but you know this.

              Could be do or die... !!!

                Which is why its a bloody difficult call.

      iv got bolasie in for mahrez. worth a punt in my opinion as lei are looking to just grind out results now. mahrez is explosive but unlikely lei will win by more than 2 goals from here on in.

      1. Jøssy ⭐
        • 11 Years

        You could argue it's unlikely CPL will win, full stop, from here on in. 😉

        1. Goetze No idea
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          fair enough. i always feel a dgw player is worht a punt. likely to get decent points over two games.

          1. Jøssy ⭐
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            I'm not saying you're wrong. The very fact I'm posing the question is because it's on a knife-edge for me.

            1. Goetze No idea

              you know iv actually been looking at antonio. hes an explosive player if he plays on the wing. if he starts on the wing this weekend, ill probably bring him in for gw 34. this is an option over lanzini.

                10 years, 1 month ago

                Yeah, definitely. If he moves back to an attacking role.

                If he does, I'll assess if Lanzini is still "in the hole", and make a call from there...

      keep Mahrez

        Thanks mate!!

      I decided to go for B), but not very convinced about it tbh.
      But I just tought that everytime we have double, there is some huge scores so I prefer trying to catch it.

      1. Jøssy ⭐
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Indeed! I recall last year talking myself out of a -4 hot to bring Austin in... and cue his hat trick!! At least Austin had been delivering all year though

        Mitrovic is my Austin this year.

    5. Jøssy ⭐
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks very much lads!

      Appreciate a few more opinions. Think I'm swinging towards keeping Riyad for one more week.

      1. Mr Sarcastic
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Mahrez blanks - Bolassie goes wild and has another double to come, oh dear.

        or if you sell Mahrez....Bolassie 4 points and Mahrez scores, ohhh dear oh dear....it really can end up both ways, so maybe keeping Mahrez is a wise and certainly safer move.

        1. Jøssy ⭐
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Particularly when you note my comments to Evs above, that I'm holding a nice lead in my ML, and my nearest rival has already made just 1 visible transfer (so likely not WCing).

    6. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Your team looks good. Keep Mahrez

      1. Jøssy ⭐
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks Kuqi! Feeling good about it now.

        How are you feeling about yours??

    7. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      When in doubt save the FT.

      The only argument for Bolasie is the double double game week, but how sure are you that he will even play all the 4 matches? Even if he played them, Mahrez's ppg is twice that of Bolasie's, and Leicester still has everything to play for, whereas Palace seems to be performing the annual Pardew let down.

      1. Jøssy ⭐
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly mate! And there's NO way I'm keeping Bolasie for the second one. This would only ever be a GW33 punt.

        There's no saving of a FT here though, unless I bring Lanzini in straight away. I'm currently on my WC, so actually retaining Mahrez one more week is going to cost me a FT. But I think it's worth it, versus playing Mitrovic (sou)

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Oh, ok. That's tough, then. But anyway, Bolasie basically needs a DGW to just match Mahrez. That's their ppg difference, and I don't see why that would change from here to the end of the season.

          Personally, I'm probably keeping Mahrez for the season. He's nice to have for the GW35.

          1. Jøssy ⭐
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Think I'm sold on keeping him this week, and if he explodes I may re-consider shipping him for the GW34 DGW.

            And that's my WC complete!! 😀

      Martial the safe option, but I've got this terrible feeling that I'll end up having Mitrovic in my side.

      lennon looking at recent form against weaker teams.

    3. Eden Hazardous

      Bolasie. Better player. Better stats. 180 minutes.

      1. Jøssy ⭐
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Better stats!? That's not saying much for Lennon!!

    4. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      This article seems to think Lennon should be safe - so I'd look at him. Can keep for GW37 also.

    5. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years

      Lennon because of GW 34 for Bolasie - MU ARS away

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        plus he might play behind Lukaku (Barkley weak form)

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          But Lennon is gash

    I'm so close having wildcard team that I want. Four players missing from my Jigsaw.

    Would appreciate if you could give me your vote which option is better?

    A) KDB - Iwobi

    B) Firmino - Barkley

    First one has gametime issue but higher points potential. Second one is safer and Barkley plays more in gw33.

    1. Goetze No idea
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      iwobi

      firmino

      but wait to hear on firmino inj news

      also look at lennon/lanzini/antonio

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Iwobi - Frimino not option.

        What I meant is KDB & Iwobi or Firmino & Barkley

        1. Goetze No idea
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          ah kdb and iwobi then. i have always been burned by barkley. never getting him again.

          1. S.Kuqi
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Fair enough. Thanks

        2. Eden Hazardous
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Why ot Firmino-Iwobi. I like Firmino-Iwobi the best

    2. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Firmino -> Lennon (Barkley is awful)

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Barry should be back and Barkley moved to hole right?

        1. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          hmm yes but I'm afraid that Barkley might be rotated. He really look awful last game. Lennon is so fast.

          1. S.Kuqi
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Hmmm....thanks.

    3. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      From those A. Don't fancy Barkley's form BUT
      I starting to wonder whether having KDB compromises having a good all round squad.

      If I dg KDB to Iwobi I can upgrade Gabriel > Smalling,Koscielny. Mitrovic > Martial and Lennon > Firmino.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I can have KDB without compromising. Iwobi would allow me to have all the heavy hitters + Smalling and Belle. Gw35 is the problem when I really need him to start

        1. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          ask yourself a question. who is more important? good mid with haul potential or defender where one goal may ruin your points?

          1. The 12th Man
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            True

          2. S.Kuqi
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            True. Good point

        2. The 12th Man
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          GW 35 is the reason why I put him in too.
          I think your right. I will probably keep him. Having a cheap bench for the non bench boost weeks is important to get the full value of your starting eleven.

          I'm struggling to make a decision between Iwobi and Gabriel.

      2. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I don't trust Iwobi at all

        1. Whazza
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          He was their best player last gw

          1. Lone Wolf FPL
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            agree (second after Alexis) but I'm sure that Wenger will rotate him

    4. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks all!

    5. Jøssy ⭐
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A. Primarily because I'm not sold on Barkley.

      I'd rather take the risk on Iwobi's minutes, because I believe he'll deliver more points if he gets them.

  18. Silvinho
    • 11 Years

    A) Smalling Mahrez Martial
    or
    B) Mangala/Clichy KDB Rashford

    WC Draft 2:

    Migs Schmeichel

    Moreno Bellerin Simpson Gabriel (DGW 6.3 def)

    Sanchez Lanzini Coutinho Mahrez Payet

    Aguero Lukaku Martial

    I need about 0.2m to bring in Smalling, any suggestions where i can save some cash?

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Downgrade Schmeichel to a cheap DGW keeper. You have Simpson already covering LEI defence.

    2. Meinhoff
      • 13 Years

      Scmeichel to Robles, and then get a Utd def

  20. Whats the Huth
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    @lateriser.

    I'm a non wildercarder like yourself.
    I'm doing Bolasie to Firmino for 34.

    Team I'm aiming to get for 34 is;

    HART (Robles)
    KOSCIELNY. BELLERIN. SAKHO. (Wollscheid) (Huth)
    PAYET. OZIL. FIRMINO. Mahrez. (Alli)
    LUKAKU. AGUERO. Kane.

    I can get 11 from this team out for 35.

    WC 36 and BB 37

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Is it mental go go Kunless on WC for the benefit of the rest of your team? Martial would probably be the replacement

    1. Goetze No idea
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      yeah maybe keep an eye on how he plays midweek against psg. dont transfer him out before saturday.

    2. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Would prefer punting on Gabriel and Iwobi over Bellerin and Ozil to save about 7M

  22. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    @ EVS

    I have question for you aswell 🙂

    I assume you are keeping Mahrez but who would you choose for cheap enabler? Iwobi,Gabriel or Rasford?

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not evs
      But Gabriel for me

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        General consensus here is that Gabriel is nailed 🙂

    2. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Quick then, I got work soon 🙂

      Probably Gabriel - but there are risks (from the lanky German)

      Rashford if you can keep some cash or manufacture a manufacture a way to get Kane back for 35? Also, some Rooney risks here.

      Don't know much about the other bloke, or when the likes of Ramsey are back - so that's sounds like a transfer waiting to happen so I would stay clear.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years

      I personally wouldn't be keeping Alli on a WC with DGWs to cover. Maybe Lanzini?

      Also, out of interest, when Darmian hasn't played recently... Was that injury or rotation?

      What you doing with those keepers in 35? Hit or just take the no show on the chin?

      1. Goetze No idea
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        going with the no show. i did the same last week and still managed 80 points.

        im just worried about lennon/bolasie/wijnaldum if any of them are worth a punt.

        also if antonio/lanzini is a much better option?

    2. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      no GK in 35 or Darlow in 35 is almost the same.
      darmian + clichy - rotation alert!

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years

        Jip, I agree. I have a bad feeling about Darlow.

      2. Goetze No idea
        • 10 Years

        yeah who would you get instead? i want to double up on united defence and get a city def aswell. your thoughts?

        1. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          difficult one. to double mu U must get Smalling. city def is mangala so can't fit both

  25. Christina.
    • 16 Years

    So Firmino dropped.

    Anyone doubling up with Coutinho+Firmino from 34 on wards?

      good option but unlikely to get both

    Some decent folk on here now... 😉

    a)Robles+Darlow+Smalling or

      A for me.

      GW35 Smalling-> Cheapie enables Martial -> Kane 😎

      I count myself as decent folk 😆 so...

      It's tough that. I've seen a lot of Robles/Darlow pairings and it doesn't sit comfortably with me. But the need to take a hit (and maybe lose your Utd cover) would make me pick A

    After reading almost everything i have come up to this wc team.
    Mign.Darlow.
    Evans.Simpson.Sakho.Gabriel.Delaney.
    Kdb.Payet.Coutinho.Lingard.Alexis.
    Kun.Luk.Martial.
    Should i downgrade Kdb to Mahrez and upgrade def a bit?

    Case for NOT brining Kane back in gw35

    - Costa could be better option for similar price with dgw coming and relatively easy fixture in gw35
    - Kane is on form but doesn't always score double digits and pretty tough fixtures till end of the season
    - Would you captain him any fixtures yet to play? Maybe in gw38 but plenty of time to bring him in by then.

    Costa, Defoe or even Sturridge could be better from gw35 onwards.

      Kane(c) in 35 is what worries me. Big time.

        I would be more worried not to captain Kun in gw35

          Maybe. That week will be decisive I reckon. (c) poll for the managers in top 1k would probably be split 50-50. Would be nice to own both.

      I'll be bringing him in 35 100%

      (i can then decide what to do on wc in 36 😉 )

        I reckon after he cleans up in 33-35 it might be even more difficult to decide what to do.

        😥

      Sorry, didn't see this post before I posted similar on the next page ...
      I think I'm going to waste a transfer to get Kane back infor GW35, and out again in GW36 ... all depends on Lukaku's form going into that week

    Looking to ship Bolasie & Delaney out for the 34 as it looks v difficult for them, however I feel like Bolasie could score v anyone!

    Exclude Gabriel, which 4.3m DF is likely to get the highest points over Gw33-34 ?

    A: Ward (NOR+EVE, ars+mun)
    B: Delaney
    C: Souare
    D: Olsson (mci, WAT, ars)
    E: S.Taylor (sot, SWA+MCI)

    1. S.Kuqi

      Simpson or Morgan

      Olsson not nailed. Try Timm Klose, no double 34 but decent fixtures and a double 37
