Rounding off the weekend’s entertainment, there are a quartet of teams battling for supremacy at opposite ends of the country. Liverpool search for their first in win three outings when they host Stoke City, while Tottenham Hotspur duel with Manchester United at White Hart Lane.

Liverpool’s attack is in fine fettle ahead of their double next Gameweek, given that they managed the joint-third-most goals (eight) and second-most shots on target (27) over their last four matches. However, prospective investors will be concerned that the Reds possess the joint-third-worst shot-conversion rate (8%) in home matches. As for the Potters, they’ve recorded one clean sheet in 10 matches yet conceded the joint-second-fewest big chances (two) across their previous four fixtures.

Spurs maintained their attacking dominance during the last four Gameweeks, registering the joint-third-most goals (eight), most attempts (80), joint-most big chances (10) and most shots on target (31). As for the Red Devils, they ranked joint-third-bottom for goals (three), third-bottom for attempts (36), second-bottom for shots inside the box (18) and joint-third-bottom for shots on target (10), augmenting the Lilywhites’ clean-sheet prospects.

    Still have my WC and BB, and I don't think I need either this week.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      This DGW is tailor made for a TC

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Sanchez TC.

      2. theeribert
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Already played that and almost got rewarded with an Aguero hat trick but instead it was 2 goals and a missed penalty 🙁

  2. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    The worst part of all this is that many of us have the likes of Sakho, Gabriel, Barkely, Jags etc. Not only are they not guaranteed to get points and make up for this GW, they're not even guaranteed to start!

    1. Chinu
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Contemplating a -8 for this reason 🙁
      A pathetic week.

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        I'm almost definitely going for a -4

  3. Ayew Serious
    • 10 Years

    The course seems much more playable today. Get your money on Dustin Johnson

  4. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years

    Would you buy Moreno....?

    Need another liv defender.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      No. Lightning doesn't strike twice

    2. Chinu
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I would still stay away from that troll.

  5. FF Dirtbag
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Come on guys and girls we can bring this back. Make a cracker of an FT (+one hit maybe) this week and smash the DGW34 out the park. FFS can do it.

    15 6 5 4

    1. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      23 Spurs points against the one of the best defences in the league...

  7. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    We still have this week's double games, next week's DGW, the blank GW35 and a DGW37 to come.

    Presumably that's what we set up for rather than this week's games? It can still work out for us....

    1. fantasykid
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Exactly !

  8. Yankee Toffee
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Toby > Jags, worst transfer of the season?

    1. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yes mate.

      Nothing beats benching Siggy once, and selling him for Coutinho

      1. crumbling
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Tranfered Siggy for (C)outinho.

    2. LEEDSLEEDSLEEDS
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Moreno to Sakho? I also did siggy to KDB, Alli to Countihno and ditched Vardy and Ward this week too. Take your pick

  9. Jøssy ⭐
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Aaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggghhhh!!

    That is all

  10. mr messi
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    How does Lukaku and Darmian out for Welbeck and Smalling for a hit sound?

  11. Villan14
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Ive had an absolute shocker of a WC. 43points!

    All spurs and lei out, siggurdson, williams out
    KDB, Sakho, Gabriel, lennon, lukaku C, all in and milner benched.
    picked mitrovic over martial/rashford
    picked sakho over moreno
    picked simpson over fuchs

    Must be at least a 50 point swing, and all my ML rivals have just taken the lead.

    BB better be worth it next week! lol

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      43? Try 37

      All on next week

      Problem is next week is now almost about recovering points lost this week rather than making a decisive step forward

      1. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Right, mini-league comrade. What a week...

      2. Villan14
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        thats true, even my ML rival who WC'd somehow still had Iwobi and Moreno :-O so even if i catch the non WCers I have him ahead using my tactic too..

  12. RoyaleBlue
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Hey guys, who to play alongside all the DGW? Mahrez or Kane?

    1. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Same dilemma. Going Kane.

    fellow aguero owners I have received an email back that shows they have made a mistake but also that they will not change it .......
    In Man City's game against West Brom, Sergio Aguero has not been awarded the assist points for City's second goal. If, after Aguero's initial shot was blocked, Nasri had scored directly from the rebound, then an assist would have been awarded to Aguero. However, after the shot was blocked, a West Brom player made a tackle, and diverted the ball into the path of Nasri, who then scored. No assist has been awarded based on this section from the rules: 'If an opposing player touches the ball after the final pass before a goal is scored, significantly altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is awarded.'

    Please note that, for the avoidance of doubt, points awarded in-game are subject to change up until one hour after the final whistle of the last match of any given day. Once the points have all been updated on that day, no further adjustments to points will be made.

    Yours,
    Fantasy Premier League Support

      Doesn't read to me that they think they made a mistake - they say the Brom player diverted the ball which is not what happened

      1. km79
        • 10 Years

        oh yes it SHOWS they have made a mistake the just don't know it!
        anyway I've replied

    Couple of questions. Thank for any help.

    For GW34
    Smalling or Bellerin?
    Rojo or Moreno?

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Bellerin and Moreno

      1. Marcin the Pole

    Warned people about the Liverpool assets:

    http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2016/04/09/the-scoreboard-gameweek-33-saturday-3/?hc_page=2#hc_comment_13109068

    Nearly got it all right.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Good call. I never though Klopp would bench half his team.

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      You got it wrong.

      1. Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Never said I got it right.

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Never said you did. But no point boasting about a 'warning' when you got it wrong.

          1. Lallana_
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 11 months ago

            Boasting? If you listened to my warning about Skrtel you wouldn't have got Sakho.
            Quite an Epic Fail if I must say myself.

            1. Epic Fail
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 11 months ago

              It was a prediction. We can all make those. You got the team wrong.

                • 12 Years

  19. Chucky

    Lukaku to Sturridge or Carrol for free?

    1. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I wouldn't.

    2. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      May be worth it. i'm captaining Lukaku, so the odds are he's going to blank.

    People here fancying Everton to bring it home for us midweek and salvage this toxic gw?

    1. Les Bleus

      Not in the least. It just doesn't work that way 😉

    2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS

    3. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      I'm praying for some Lukaku goals.

    Chaps....r we all keeping the following players for next week?...don't seem to be too many nailed dgw alternatives out there..

    Gabriel
    Sakho
    Coutinho
    Kdb

    Figure lpool may play a heavily rotated team after Dortmund with no coutinho .....

    Any thoughts on Gabriel and coutinho to smalling and iwobi for a hit?.....thanks

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I'd definitely keep KDB and Coutinho. They can play 2 games in the week. As for Sakho, we need to hear if he's injured. And Gabriel is my only worry.

    2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      No/haven't got/glad about it

    Pre-WC team on more than double at 82pts

    All those hours of planning for this, FPL is a cruel mistress

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      When you put it like that then our DGW34 will have alot to pay us back for, otherwise this could be a disaster. One step back this GW, two step forward next, so back to where we started, with a team to sort out for the blank!

  25. A.T
    • 15 Years

    Massive game against West Ham for Leicester next week. Lose it and they might have a wobble.

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah, thats what we've been saying for a while.

      1. A.T
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        True. They weren't great today though. Mahrez had a shocker.

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Nah.

      Refs will make sure they win.

      Even when players have open goals against them they stil miss at the moment.

      Illuminati confirmed.

    3. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS

    4. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      run in is still okay. Swansea, Utd, Everton & Chelsea - all with nothing left to play for & beatable. 🙂

  26. Crouching Tiger
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    76 pts all in, no players left. Fairly happy with the score as I was dumb and didn't realize that you can't WC and TC at the same time. Doing TC next week and WC GW36, BB GW37. Everything is not lost here 🙂

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  28. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    31 points off my pre WC team.

    I think a Lukaku brace and Everton CS should settle that.

    Bigggggg Wednesday coming up for us WCers.

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years

      You'd have bought in Lukaku anyway 😉

  29. theeribert
    • 11 Years

    Is it a huge disadvantage to only have 8 players playing twice next week, plus Alderweireld, Mahrez, and Vardy?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years

      No.

  30. BENOIT
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Best transfer here chaps?

    A.) Klose -------> Sakho
    B.) Daniels ------> 5.5m def (got Fuchs)
    C.) Cabaye ------> Milner / Lingaard (got Firm and Studge)
