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.

    How's Villa Wonka doing?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Apparently a genius because he didn't get Man Utd players.

      1. Bouncebackability
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Also got double Everton defence, Sakho, Lovren and Coutinho.

      2. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        casual

    2. Mark-O
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      He didn't have Spurs players. That's half wrong.

  2. Studgie G
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I'm getting studge for lukaku, cou or milner and I'm hoping Mensah pulls through

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Looked good didn't he. Unlucky not to score more than one. 🙁

      1. Studgie G
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        looks like a differential not many have him

    If we think this week is bad.......we've still got to avoid injuries to West Ham, Man Utd, Man City and Liverpool players........endure the inevitable rotations in next week's DGW........and discover that BB gives us the equivalent of 24 players instead of the intended 32!!

  4. Uncle John from Jamaica
    • 13 Years

    Those of you that are upset or panicking just click "pick team" and see how many DGW players you have.

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      *clicks 'Pick Team'

      *see Robles, Delaney, Sakho, Barkley, Lukaku

      *vomits

  5. Hobolicious
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Projected rank of 54k. How did I manage to ruin 6 weeks of good work in one GW?

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      With a wild card?

      1. Hobolicious
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Obviously.

  6. Optimus.
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    It looks like Lukaku will outscore Kane

    Result 😎

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I have the champagne on ice 🙂

    2. Mark-O
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Carroll has outscored Lukaku.

    3. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Can see Kone starting midweek 😀

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

        Niasse

  7. El Muñeco
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    As Will in the inbetweeners once famously said:

    "Well that was ******* dreadful"

  8. Swan - Villa Proud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Can Old man Langer pull this out? Fatigue and distance will be a factor I feel

  9. Slam
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    97k -> Projected 170k 😎

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      99k -> 150k

      1. Slam
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Thank you, you actually made me feel better.
        I'm sorry about the rank drop though 🙁

        1. Jimmers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          We need to support each other as our families won't understand 🙂

  10. BENOIT
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Bottomed....best transfer here guys?

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

  11. fantasykid
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    We all knew some of the transfers will come back to bite us & it sure did. But, it was a logical decision. Am sure that come next GW, most of us would be posting on here about how well it was planned & executed. So, take one on the chin & wait till the DGW kicks off. Am sure it'll turn out well.

  12. U-jin King™
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    lukaku better score a hattrick midweek

    1. La Vida Latte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah. He´d better. Otherwise I will be VERY angry with him.

  13. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    @Doos

    Think Rose should be ahead of Walker for your team now ... 😉 😀

  14. Slam
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I'm ready to take a -16 to fix my team up, I don't really care anymore.

    1. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Tell me about your 'fix'

    2. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Already got.

    3. madame shelly
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I will be doing 8 or 12 and bringing back spuds and lei players !

    4. madame shelly
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      and I don't care about dgw37 anymore! 5 dgwers will do !

  15. FudgyBadger
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Who else is doing Lukaku > Sturridge ?

    1. Studgie G
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      me likely but will wait til after dortmund

  16. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Playing the wild card this week reminds me of the Joker's sentiments...

    "I'm only laughing on the outside
    My smile is just skin deep
    If you could see inside I'm really crying
    You might join me for a weep."

  17. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I have both Gabriel and Rojo.

    Do I keep for the double or take out for hits?

    1. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      why get rid of either?

      1. Bouncebackability
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I'd be more confident of Rojo starts from today, with Fosu injured too. Darmian was the benched one after all.

    2. Studgie G
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      gab is risky now imo

  18. La Vida Latte
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    So I gained one goal on my wild card so far. And lost six (Aderwereild, Alli, Vardy*2, Siggy and Özil!). Ok, the team was built for next week. But I am not sure it will pay off when I summarize 33-35. What do you think?

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I think you're right.

      1. 420king
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I'm positive it won't. And thats before considering your team will be crap of the last few gws...

    2. President Giggs
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Aye, feeling the same. My wildcard lost me 37 points this week and I doubt I'll make that back in 34-35. My original plan was to TC Sanchez next week and then WC/BB in 36/37. Was probably the better idea in hindsight!

  19. Prison Mike
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Was all set on Bolasie > Coutinho should I still go ahead with it or think of other options?

  20. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Really not inspired by DGW37. May get Spurs boys back in 35 instead of bulking up.

  21. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Think I f**ked up my season with my WC..
    All these planning and all gone to waste..

    Olsson & Cech not playing.. Jagielka injured..
    My plan for BB next GW is off.

    Anyone knows if Jags will be back for GW34?

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Sounds bad...

    2. madame shelly
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      unlikely. cech probably plays though

    3. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      a lot of us in the same boat.

      on Jags - doesn't look good for 34

    4. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      We need to sell him. It does not look good.

  22. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone had a good week? (70+)?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      My rivals.

    2. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      60+ not good? 🙁

    3. Big Sum
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      68, not good

    4. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      My ML rival scored 82 and just leapfrogged my 41. Fk sake

    5. Crouching Tiger
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, but not on a WC 😛

  23. 420king
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    why do people think Lukaku can save this gameweek? Non-WCers have him too...

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      A few people have gone leftfield with their captain choices.

      1. 420king
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        makes sense

    2. Studgie G
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      it's not just him though

  24. Tysteren
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero or Sanchez as Tripple captain next gameweek?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Either tbh.

    2. President Giggs
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez

    3. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Has to be Alexis especially if City go through in CL as Aguero might be protected before SFinal

    4. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero...coz Newcastle

  25. Chinu
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Planned to sell Vardy for Martial this week. Don't feel very confident about the move now. What do you guys reckon? (It would be for a hit as I have other players to boot as well)

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      No!! especially with Martial having a blank in 35

      1. Chinu
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        This is what I wanted to hear, thanks. These DGW's really clouding our judgement.

    2. Red Scout
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Not worth it imo, Martial has that blank in 35 plus Vardy is in form playing for the better team

      1. Chinu
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah seems sensible to stick with Vardy. Thanks

  26. RoyaleBlue
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    DGW goggles to fail us all, high ownership SGW players to boss and the causuals to win... Yet again.

  27. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Average score been announced yet? And players left?

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      45 and 2 - Overall
      52 and 1 - Top 10k

      1. Jafooli

        Cheers We go....

  28. WE GO FOR IT
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Rival 1: 64 points - none left
    Rival 2: 49 points - Barkley(C) left
    Me: 34 points - Lukaku(C),Bolasie,Delaney left.

    How many points do you think we all will have after the CRY-EVE game?

    1. Big Sum
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      64

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      2 for each player.

  29. Gabhini Gupini
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Kicked out alder, Dier, Ali, Siggy, Vardy. Playing the WC has made it all wrong. Are Coutinho, De Bryne likely to start the DGW?

  30. Murph1
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    A shocker of a week for the FFS community...

    Who said knowledge is power!?
