Paul
Having assessed the first five teams set for a pair of Gameweek 34 fixtures earlier in the week, we now cast an eye over the remaining candidates.
In order to qualify for our members table analysis, each player must have featured in at least three of their sides’ last seven league fixtures and produced a minimum of four attempts on goal over their last four league appearances.
Are either Clichy or Sagna nailed for. MC ?
For CL games probably yes, which means probably no for PL games.
this
Can see myself going until the end of the season without:
Alde
Sanchez - KdB - Coutinho/Firminho
Kane - Vardy
That's pretty frightening....
RIP Jafooli
This
I'm gonna be without all of them on my WC. Might get a Pool mid for 35 though (or if I change my mind tonight).
I'm gonna get Milner I reckon 😎
Lukaku --> Martial for (-4)
yes or no?
Ugh nopes
I would not.
It is a no from me.
see... i would never even have this idea... because now you've had it... and folks will say it's a bad idea... but is it really?... it is impossible to know until later... and what if it is a good idea and you listen to the majority that think it's wrongheaded... then you'll feel hard done by... but what if you do it and the people who advised against it were right, then you'll think you should learn to listen...
the thing is, you've really opened up a lot of opportunity for disappointment and regret now... best to think about unpopular ideas that go against FFS trends less... that's my thesis...
and no, I wouldn't do it... but it's the time of year when I go with the obvious... it's just too late not to... leave it to others to chase points and fall further behind while you rise with the cream of doing the boring moves others think won't help you move up the table...
that's my thesis
I think it has potential to be a good move, Martial has better fixtures and looks more interested.
Evening gents. Should I just BB this lot or ditch the Palace lad(s)? 0.5ITB
Robles, Darlow
Sakho, Delaney, Smalling, Gabriel, Simpson
Bolasie, Firmino, Sánchez, De Bruyne, Özil
Martial, Agüero, Lukaku
a) Stick
b) Bolasie > Milner
c) Bolasie > Lanzini
d) Bolasie + Delaney > Lanzini + Clyne
e) Your choice
Cheers
I like B and BenchBoost
Cheers. Yep, that is my preferred and safe option. It doesn't cause GW35 issues either.
BBing either way.
B
Cheers Jersey. Response appear to be confirming my preferred option.
I'm doing Barkley > Milner I think...
I would do that move all day mate. Think I am going to go ahead with mine.
Already planned my Dann/Wickham to Smalling/Martial for a -4.
Is Lennon to Lingard worth an extra -4?
don't think so
If Lennon is injured then yes
Thanks both for the input.
Might roll the dice, if Lennon is out and Lingard plays both I guess I get the 4 points back anyway then just hope for returns.
Barkley to:
a) Firminho
b) Coutinho
c) Milner
not enough information yet.
wait until after Liverpool's game today to decide.
Robles Mignolet
Ivanovic Dann Bellerin Simpson Kirchhoff
Ozil Payet Mahrez Bolasie Lingard
Lukaku Aguero Kane
Got 2 FTs and £0.9m banked
Ivanovic > Smalling will be one of my transfers, Bolasie will be another but to who?
A) Coutinho/Firmino (will need to downgrade Dann -4)
B) Milner (keep Dann for the double, sort out in 35)
C) Nasri (no Liverpool attackers)
D) Other - £7m max without hit, £8.4m (-4)
Thanks in advance!
B
Thanks Houdeeney, am quite tempted by Nasri. But Milner seems sensible
Yup, seems more nailed.
A
Thanks HOH, worth a hit to downgrade Dann to a £4.6m defender?
Also, game time and rotation seems to be the main issue with Pool's attackers
Agreed... but Firmino doesn't blank in 35 and has another DGW in 37... so loading up on Liverpool assets has time to pay off even if you run into a rotation issue along the way.
Jonny Evans at 4.5 says hi (DGW 34, doesn't blank in 35)
I do agree, i would be commiting to the mid until the end. Im honestly barely considering Cout/Firm, leaning more towards Milner due to nailedness and somewhat explosive. I guess it depends on the lineup tonight but i do like Coutinho's prospects as a no10.
Ive had Dawson for 90% of this season haha, not going back to WBA! Might gamble on Moreno for a second time this season...i just cant give him up
fair 'buff
oooh typo
fair 'nuff even
Janmaat out means s.taylor will be forced to play??
Bench:
Robles, mahrez, simpson, s.taylor
BB anyway??
Will you be able to do any better in 37?
-4 until gw37, 11 players double
Don't think it's better either..
Currently topping my ML, and i think most of my rivals will bench boost this week..
BB now then....
Current team :
Migs robles
Simpson beller gabriel clyne s.taylor
Mahrez sanchez coutinho payet lingard
Kun lukaku martial
What should i do
GW 34
A. BB Hennessy - Mahrez- Simpson - Morganb.
B. TC Sanchez
Tough. If you TC when would you BB?
GW 36.
Leicester play United.
Basically does Leicester have a better chance of a CS against west ham or United?
The question is how many points do you think you'll get using the other chip in 37?
Oh like the style.....I'd probably go B
Which one of these should I ship?
A Mahrez
B Lennon
C Alli
B - Hamstring injury.
Lennon (unless anyone knows more on the injury?)
Lennon
Obviously Lennon.
Lennon injury has changed my FT plans...
Cech Robles
Smalling Clichy Delaney Sakho Bellerin
Sanchez Payet Coutinho Bolasie Lennon
Lukaku Aguero Mitrovic
A) Bolasie -> Milner
B) Lennon -> Milner
C) One of the above + Clichy->Fuchs
D) Something else
B
Is he definitely out?
No hearing anything positive: http://talksport.com/football/roberto-martinez-fears-everton-could-be-without-aaron-lennon-leighton-baines-and-ross?
Anyone know when we will know Liverpools starting XI today?
30 min
Hour before kickoff
Thanks sjaugen!
19:05 (30mins)
Mignolet
Clyne Sakho Lovren Moreno
Can Milner
Lallana Firmino Coutinho
Origi
It seems ironic that Milner hardly ever got a mention on here until the last few weeks.
Yeah, but Alanis Morisette has sung his praises.
His PPG was impressive and he was on set pieces
Also 1.5m cheaper than Coutinho/ Firmino at the time so VORP was a factor for me. Allowed me to get Martial in as my 3rd striker instead of settling for Deeney/ Rashford.
This.
Plus in a time of heavy rotation he looks the most nailed Pool mid.
Whispers quietly I have him too
Hey lads 2 FT Any suggestions?
0.1 ITB
Robles Darlow
Gabriel Dawson Smalling Bellerin Clyne
Payet Mahrez Sanchez Coutinho Bolasie
Aguero Lukaku Martial
playing BB this week.
Thanks!
The obvious one seems to be Bolasie -> Milner. Or take the leap and ditch Mahrez.
This
Thanks
Anyone else think there is far too much emphasis on trying to field 11 players for GW35?
Looking at the fixtures, it seems to me that once you have a key 9 players (that most will have for DGW34 anyway) then you should be fine.
3 x Liverpool (Three of Mignolet/ Clyne/ Sakho/ Lovren/ Milner/ Coutinho/ Firmino/ Sturridge)
3 x Arsenal (Three of Cech/ Bellerin/ Gabriel/ Ozil/ Sanchez)
2 x Leicester (Two of Schmeichel/ Simpson/ Fuchs/ Morgan/ Huth/ Mahrez)
1 x Aguero
I think that covers where the points are likely to be and saving a FT or two allows you to plan a lot better, not only for injuries/ suspensions, but for DGW37
Yes. I concur. Last big blank week best team in my league only had about 9 players.
Kane could be useful
True but he is very expensive and the likelihood is that most won't be able to do a straight swap to him for Lukaku/ Martial (though I would want both back for their remaining fixtures from GW36-38)
West Brom are always a dodgy team, never know which side is going to turn up. Hoping by then the league will be more or less wrapped up
Thanks for the reality check
Could argue just as easily there is too much emphasis on playing 11/15 DGWers.
The difference is that we had a WC to draft them in though
By GW35 we'll have 1 or 2 precious free transfers that many will blow to field a full 11, bringing in stupid picks like Darlow and co. just to bring the numbers up.
Quality over quantity, so yeah I agree overloading on DGW players is also a risk, but a calculated one that can see so much gain
But if we are talking about making a choice now, I don't see it as unreasonable to consider acquiring an additional performance (to be executed in gw35), versus having no appearance at all.
In this situation; where we will be undermanned in 35, a DGWer who blanks in 35 offers the same number of performances as a SGWer 34/35 with the advantage of reduced rotation risk and a better rested team.
Vardy in the Leicester gang?
Yep, but I'd imagine a lot of wildcarding teams will have Lukaku/ Sturridge/ Martial/ Aguero/ Mitrovic
Upvoted. Good, big picture post. Of course, the more "impact" players, up to 11, one has, without taking (too many) hits, the more likely they are to outscore their opponents. In addition to your outline of a core 9, Kane vs. West Brom or Pelle vs. Villa could be huge in gw35.
Yup I like Martina at 4.1 as a 5th defender if he can retain a place
Flawed strategy, especially when people are playing BB.
You're overlooking Man City, Man U & West Ham.
Mitrovic --> Carroll (-4)
Yay or Nay?
Or even Mitrovic --> Martial (-4)
Also he doth blank in 35
GW35? Nah
Nay captain, my captain... nay..
Transfer ye not from hot commodity of two weeks yonder who doth not blank in 35 to hot commodity of last week who doth blank in 35...
Save.
No. And I'm a West Ham fan.
Hammers blank in 35. You could always do it after 35, if you still want to.
Nah, 3 vs 2 games, plus one of Carroll's is Leicester
I'd stick with Mitro
Thanks all, pretty conclusive..!
Just watched that Wes Anderson movie for like the fourth time a couple of weeks back. That was such a good one...!
Choose one:
A. Antonio ---> Lanzini
B. Bolasie ---> Townsend
C. Antonio / Bolasie ---> Lingard
Please help. I already have Martial.
Maybe C (Bolasie) or stick. Bolasie has to do something soon!
B
and what on earth would even make you think of doing A?
Antonio's position mate. His position as RB is kind of getting on my nerves now. Just waiting for Collins and Tomkins to return to full match fitness.
Do you think Antonio will play in his original position this week?
Already have three Arsenal?
Yes.
Özil Kosc Bellerin
This GW:
1. Bench Boost: Robles - Mahrez - Alli - Morgan
2. Triple Captain: Aguero or Martial
what is your alternative next best options for
a) bench boost
b) TC
???
In 37
A. BB: probably a bunch of SGW nobodies
B. TC: Payet
Is that what you meant?
BB this week. TC 37.
Agreed, cheers Jazzy
Bench boost. 3 players from teams fighting for title and a keeper who just got one of the highest keeper hauls of the season.
Agreed and thanks......
what about a punt on Mata for the DGW or will he get benched?
He may play both, but no fantasy form atm. RIsky
Is Yaya a no-go do you think? Have about 8.9m for a midfielder for Barkley
It looks like you're trying to spend the money. Just go for one of the better lower priced players
who would you recommend? I'd prefer a player who plays gw35 too but not necessarily.
You want Fickle? LVG is Fickle. I don't mess with that guy. Fixtures are sweet but he's sour.
Just noticed something that gave me a chuckle. The most anticipated and exciting FPL double gameweek in history...kicks off with Norwich V Sunderland 🙂
Well, I'll be staring. If Sunderland wins, I'll be looking to invest
Thinking PVA. Maybe Defoe if he keeps his starting berth
Luks to Sturge, Martial to Defoe might be in the cards
who will be the heroes of DGW 37
Can't wait for that game personally. So much on it.
Ok I'm getting there I'm now down to this....
Based on form, fixs and gametime:-
A - Rashford
B - Origi
Origi. Or Defoe?
Mignolet / Robles
Smalling / Bellerin / Gabriel / Lovren / Simpson
Sanchez / Coutinho / Payet / Lennon / Lanzini
Aguero / Martial / Lukaku
0 ITB
Going to transfer Lennon out to Iwobi so I need to get rid of Gabriel, what defenders should I look at for 5.3? Need someone with DGW34 and GW35.
Clyne or Fuchs
Already got 3 Liverpool and I want DGW34.
with LVG, it's so hard to tell. i think he uses a ouija board to do his lineups.
i almost picked Mata for my 33WC. so glad now i didn't.
Is Fosu-Mensah play DGW ???
Ask LVG, he might know.
GW33 WC'er, DGW34 BB'er here. Full up on ARS and LIV already. Like many others, considering options for Lennon. Which do you prefer?:
A) Lennon > Alli (have just enough, loses 1 DGW'er, but fills 1 of 2 holes in GW35 11)
B) Lennon > Iwobi + Gabriel > Fosu Mensah -4 (keeps DGW34 dream alive, requires another hit to ensure GW35 11)
C) Lennon > Iwobi + Gabriel > Fuchs/VVD -4 (loses 1 DGW'er, but fills 1 of 2 holes in GW35 11)
I think you could also phrase this question in another way... Which combo scores more in DGW34?:
A) Alli + Gabriel
B) Iwobi + Fosu Mensah -8
C) Iwobi + Fuchs/VVD -4
C
Why don't you just do Lennon to Iwobi and sort out week 35 when week 34 is over?
Oh... hey there... too much arsenal... okay....
Iwobi and Fuchs then I guess
A) FMensah Clyne + 0.6 itb
B) Rojo Sakho/Moreno
b
Team:
DDG
Simpson Bellerin Smalling
Marhez Ozil Payet Iwobi
Lukaku Aguero Kane
Who should I captain, I'm seriously considering Bellerin or Smalling
A. Bellerin
B. Smalling
C. Aguero
D. Ozil
C
Got to be Aguero really.
Delaney ----> Fosu Mensah
No harm in a punt is there?
if you got transfers to burn
Haha, I just asked the same question below. I'm very tempted!
it's tempting.
it would cost me -4, since that free transfer was earmarked to get me up to 11 players
for gw35, which i would still do.
if i were positive LVG would start him twice, i'd do it myself.
Evening guys, my current team:
DdG / Darlow
Bellerin / Walker / Lovren / Delaney / Simpson
Sanchez / Ozil / Coutinho / Bolasie / Lanzini
Aguero / Kane / Lukaku
My original plan was to do Bolasie -> Milner for this week as I have the exact right amount for that move and will give me 11 starters for GW35. Will obviously wait to see how tonight's match goes.
I'm also considering due to his terrible DGW fixtures, Delaney -> Fosu-Mensah for -4. Potentially a good move?
Cheers
Up the reds!! Sent my nephew for his first game today, go on lad
https://twitter.com/ThePLZone/status/720669958972248065?s=09
'Sent'? Sounds like a punishment.
