Awful awful awful week. 57 points of my ML leader with me in second and slowly catching, my aim this week was just to keep it at more or less that so I could take some chunks out of that during the DGWs. I've ended up with 37 points with Robles and Kaku (c) still to play their second game but he has Kaku (not (c))and Barkley so a kaku brace will only help a little (if he even scores), ML leader has 63 points so the gap is around 80 points now. He's already played all his cards so this wc and bb was going to be my chance to close the gap.

Biggest upsets were Sakho and coutiniho not playing with Lanzini and Darmian to come off the bench, Darmian managing to get -1 despite not even starting and lots of questions about my squad for gw34. Will Gab play? Will Darmian play? Why did I do Darlow/Smalling/Moreno to Ming/Sakho/Darmian at the very last minute?

As part of my wc I did Toby/Alli/Dann/Vardy out for Sakho/Darmian/Coutinio/Martial...the difference in scores between those...

Toby/Alli/Dann/Vardy - 41 points
Sakho/Darmian/Coutiniho/Martial - 1 point (Darmian got -1)

I read a comment yesterday where someone said this has turned into one step backwards this week, so two steps forward next week means we're right back where we started.

For those of you stressing about your score this last week. Anyone who still has: Vardy, Ali, Alderwiereld is poorly prepared for the DGW and will either have to take hits now or for GW 35.

No one could have predicted a Vardy brace or Alderweirdeld score..

Don't knee jerk out of well thought out decisions because of a random week

As things stand, who is most likely to miss one of the next 3 games?

A) Sakho

B) Gabriel

This is a serious question. Would you rather have:

A) Sakho (bou, EVE)

or

B) Rose (stk)

Gabriel owners, what are your plans?

Poll please: Which of the following is worse for my GW just gone:

A) Getting Connor Wickham in
B) Captaining Connor Wickham by mistake

🙁

Is Sanchez in for a hit and TC (assume the other player involved is pretty rubbish) worth it? Alternative is no hit and TC Aguero or Ozil

"in the game we did not have many problems, but the problems weren't especially central defence, more on the flanks where we suffered" - said Wenger.

Does this mean Gabriel is safe?
Their next 2 games are against teams with really threatening players in the air like Caroll.

If you had to keep one for 34 who would you keep:

A. Dann
B. Bolasie
C. Take out both for a -4

Fancy bringing in Martial for GW34 but will leave me with only 9 players for GW34. Is it worth it? I feel a goal fest against Villa.

NEW POST

Bolasie out for...

A) Iwobi

B) Townsend

Like most I had a pretty miserable gameweek but there is potentially a slight silver lining. I forgot to hit the confirm button on Lukaku (tc) and hopefully this may prove to be a blessing in disguise.

can we have a minutes silence for everyone who played their wildcard this week? the grieving on here is unbelievable lol

Kept Mahrez and Kane in my WC team for Spurs and Leicester coverage, that worked out well !

Barkley > Coutinho
or
Vardy > Sturridge

best pool midfielder to get for the doubles? milner?

Any suggestion for this team? Playing the BB chip this gw. Concerns are Gabriel game time and no Payet. 0.3m itb

robles darlow
smalling clyne simpson Delaney Gabriel
sanchez ozil coutinho firmino lennon
kun lukaku mitrovic

Chances of Coutinho and Sakho starting against Bou after they both start against Dortmund on Thursday? Looks like loading up on Liverpool players wasn't the brightest idea after all!

Bes triple captain contenders ?

Why are people saying this week was random?
Alli , Alderweireld and Sigi have been scoring quite often.

We knew 33 was likely to be dodgy but were forced into wildcarding due to the bench boost. Cant see there was much that was random about the outcome. Cant judge wildcards until after Gw 35, and we not even finished 33 yet

Should I take a hit to sort out Jags (injured) and Delaney (extremely bad dgw), or keep Delaney and close my eyes?

Not a common strategy here, but I think given this year again I'd want to WC in the DGW, save the TC for another one and perhaps even BB in an SGW. The bonus of getting your WC squad honed closer to the time - especially as you're then sorted for the season - could actually be undervalued. We've all seen posts about how much points chips are worth, but less so about the WCs themselves.

I'm not losing the plot too much at the moment, I WC'd and have 40 points...with Lennon, Lukaku (C), Robles and Dann still to play. All it would take would be for Everton to keep a clean sheet and for Lukaku to get a goal and i'd be up to 70 points, give or take some BP's. Not that bad!

However...if Lukaku doesnt do anything and it ends up 1-1 im going to go into meltdown! lol

Any news on Silva?

Is it fair to say there are no defenders at 4.8 or below that babe a dgw34 and play35 that are worth bringing in for delaney?

Don't want to touch lpool cos of rotation

Watford and wba have bad fixtures...

Best option seems to be Reid who has 2 dgws but blanks in 35=......

Who would u choose to replace Delaney in following defence?

Robles darlow
Bellerin sakho Gabriel Simpson Delaney

Thanks!

Are there other people playing wildcard GW34? I used my benchboost a long time ago, so this looked better for me...

However, I dont see many wildcard ideas for GW34... people would like to help?

I now have the idea to go:

Mignolet / Darlow
Moreno / Simpson / Smalling / Dier / Bellerin
Payet / Sanchez / De Bruyne / Iwobi / Milner
Aguero / Martial / Kane

0.0m in bank with this team

If people feel like to puzzle with me, I would appreciate it...

Selling all of my current team would give me 107.6m to spent.

In hindsight only three single game week players i was thinking of keeping Fuchs Mahrez Kane. Only lost out on a clean sheet, my outcome pretty much being the same :""(

Iwobi or Milner?
