Our post-Gameweek members article is served up this Wednesday lunchtime as we assess some of the stand-out performers over the previous round of fixtures.
Harry Kane, Roberto Firmino and Harry Maguire all catch the eye, and with double Gameweeks predominant in our planning, we also take time out to analyse Manchester United, Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough assets ahead of their pair of upcoming matches.
Yeah
After listening to the scout cast I'm now thinking Bailly could be an option.
PVA yes he gets attacking returns but I'm not sure if I can see it happening against Liverpool and Spurs.
Good point though the game against Swansea won't be easy for Man utd.Also if CPalace loose from Liverpool+Tottenham the game against Burnley is a must won.
I've re read your original question and yes PVA is the better option out of the two on the long run.
cheers
Thanks
Lukaku > ibra(c) worth a -4?
Do you have WC intact?
Nope
Not sure it is. He'll probably score vs Everton at least a goal and ibra could easily blank and then get rested!
But GW35 Ibra home to Swansea while Lukaku hosts Chelsea.
I like Lukaku but over the next 2 GWs Ibra should outscore him.
what is the optimal number of DGW 34 players to have without breaking your team apart?
Three or four?
As many as the GW34 Dream Team has 😉
I'll go grab my time machine
Six, maybe seven: DDG, Valencia/Bailly, Gibson, Zaha/Townsend, Ibra, Benteke, maybe Negredo.
Bear in mind, though, that out of those, only Gibson, Zaha, Townsend, Benteke and maybe DDG are guaranteed to start the two games.
Not Negredo?
He and Gestede have been interchanging starts lately. Negredo didn't start 2 of the last 6.
I'm planning to get one or two more DGW players into
My squad. Still have WC for 36/37
A. Lukaku to Ibra
B. Carroll to Negredo
C. Pieters to Gibson
D. Combination of above for hits
A or A and C.
AC
Negredo not guaranteed two starts.
Why do you think that?
His minutes the last 7 GWs: 45, 0, 90, 90, 70, 33, 90
Hm. Cheers.
Who to start?
A) Heaton (MUN)
B) Pickford (mid)
Currently on A
A
i meant B
Thanks
B
been trying to work out how to get King in my team all week but it means loosing Son or Walcott... predict points for next 2 weeks...
A) Son (cry, ARS)
B) Walcott (LEI, tot)
C) King (MID, sun)
Walcott was benched on Monday. 😉
whats your predictions?
Lose Walcott.
Who will score more this GW:
a) Boro def + Ibra -4
b) Alonso + Negredo
A easily, imo.
A
Right, I need to get rid of Walcott. Who to get in instead?
A. Downing
B. Zaha
C. Man Utd midfielder - Mkhitaryan maybe?
B
B
B or Townsend for more of a differential
B is the easy move
Zaha or Townsend. 🙂
Thanks guys.
pedro is what I'm thinking...dgw and lovely fixtures
DGW not for a while...
Might get Terry(C) in for his fair well cleany and goal for GW38 vs Sunderland! *Bookmark* 🙂
Will he start if Chelsea haven't won the Title by then?
No
No. But I think they will have by then
Nice
Captain?
A) Lukaku
B) Kane
Both look decent options this week. The only thing I'm worried about is injury with Kane as he has to play a match before he faces Palace.
Appreciate your thoughts!
B
B deffo!
what is the best transfer option to fund 2.4m to do carroll to ibra transfer ??
1. eriksen/alli to townsend ( I have zaha )
2. Alonso to holding/holgate/stephens (I have yoshida)
3. dont need ibra rather do a) carroll to negredo or b) valdes to DDG
3a
2 considering Chelseas poor CS-record
3a I reckon
My team is sick 😎
Valdes* - Heaton
Baines - McAuley - Robertson - Yoshida - Fernandez
Sanchez - Alli - Zaha - King - Capoue
Kane - Lukaku - Carroll
1 x FT, 5.0m ITB
That's sick ill, not sick good.
What to do?
McAuley > Bailly is a transfer I'd do
defence could do with some love 🙂
😀 it certainly could.....
No Ibra/Rashford?
Ibra for Lukaku if you fancy it
Can do Carroll > Ibra (and keep Lukaku) and get a 4.8m def ?
5.0m ITB....
Yeah, I'd do it. Then maybe Chambers as that cheap def
McAuley, Carroll > PvA, Benteke
Cheers Cholevas.....
I would start Robertson-Baines-Fernandez.
Transfers=Sanchez+Caroll
->Coutinho/Firmino/Pedro+Ibra?
Agreed staring those three although would like a doubler in there.....probably gonna try and hang on to Sanchez (against the trend)
*Capoue+Caroll->Clayton(dgw)+Ibra?
You willing to take a 8pt hit?
Sanchez/Carroll/McCauley > Townsend/Ibra/Bailly
If you still have a WC.
Certainly considering a -8pter, cheers Don.....
negredo captain over ibra?
almost guaranteed 4 points for playing both games, any thing after that during the 180minutes against bournemouth and sunderland defences pushes your total close to double digits....
I'm thinking it'll be a nice differential to break into top 1k
I'm doing it. Gut feeling.
Depends if chasing, in a large hole or leading the pack.
Why is he guaranteed, he starts 3 out of 5 games lately.
goal in last game, held up ball well, i would be shocked if he didn't
Hi gents,
Planning to ship Lukaku and Barnes for Benteke (c) and Negredo for a hit and play AoA. Does it make sense or is having no dgw forwards or mids going to my head?
Valdes
Valencia Chambers
Sanchez Alli Coutinho Siggy Sane
Kane Benteke Negredo
-------------- Jaku Vert Stones Holgate
Rather ship Lukaku over Sanchez?
I know this is popular on this site but Sanchez not worth his tag at the moment and Lukaku on fire
I agree. It's just that he has two doubles and I have no WC left. I would definitely sell him if I kept my WC, but I know it will be hard to get him back. Kind of wish he went AWOL instead of sulking at bench.
If Ibra doesn't start vs Anderlecht, or plays only 60, he walks into my team for DGW.
I think he'll start both games in 34 regardless of the Europa result
He just said he is tired, don't expect him to play thrice a week myself.
Correct tactics for Burnley = Ibra starts
I don't see him being rested in the derby
The result against Chelsea changes everything, we have to for for it in the league now as well as the Europa
I think you might have changed my mind.
This is just my opinion remember 🙂
He will play 90
Thats a sure thing
He'll play the 90, and both games in the double imo
What about Swansea then?
It would be ideal if he doesn't play vs Anderlecht or MUN get eliminated, but dare to dream.
So what should I do with this front 8 ?
(No AAO )
Siggy King Sanchez Cabaye Eriksen
Aguero Negredo Lukaku
I'd bench Aguero or King
Thanks but I surely wont Bench Aguero 🙂
King on the other hand..but I have a feeling that he will score some points this gw
Can't see City scoring more than one at Old Trafford. United will be tired though and Mou can rotate so there's that.
They are playing at home I think vs Utd
Bench cabaye..
Maybe thats the right move
He was on my bench for his last 2 goals,he will probably troll me when i play him 🙂
Maybe just Aguero to Ibra or Kane and I'd drop Siggy personally. He's a blank magnet lately
That wont resolve my whoToBench headace
This.
Bench Siggy
Why all the Gabbiadini love? His fixtures ain't good for the doubles! Liverpool united Arsenal and Boro are tough to score against at home....
True, he does have;
Hull home
DGW
DGW
Stoke home
Not many 6.5m strikers as good as him either, although he isn't fully proven I must admit
I Guess he allows the heavy hitting mids we want for the dgw's .... but can't see him getting much at utd or Boro away
Got a brace against United in the Cup final, Liverpool and Arsenal aren't exactly defensively sound, Boro have to win games. Fixtures look okay to me but more importantly who are the better options? I don't see any.
Lukaku Kane Aguero front 3 looks better, if you don't fancy Sanchez it's easy done
No way I'm going without Sanchez.
If Sanchez plays poorly against Leicester is it even worth having him for his 2 DGW?
Would you dare to go without him in two doubles? #BeHonest
Yes.
Ignore him at your peril.
If you keep him vs Leicester, then surely you need to play him in the DGWs.
The time to ditch was 2 GWs ago (if you still have your WC).
PVA or Gibson?
Just for GW34&35..
Gibson.
Thanks
Want to punt on a DGW player by transferring out Siggy.
Who would you say is a real differential?
Townsend. Only 2.5% owned. Wouldn't feel comfortable getting rid of Siggy this week though
Towsend maybe?
Lingard
Downing?
Puncheon?
Miki?
Chances of Jesus being back in starting eleven for GW35 ?
Can't be sure about mins , great option for GW37 if he gets his place back!
Cech,
Alonso, Rojo, Kompany
Sanchez, Sterling, Alli, Erikson
Kane, Gabby, Costa
Potential WC team for 37 with a TC on one of them. Alternatively, could do standard 15 man squad with BB. Thoughts?
Would rather hazard than Costa
Good input, can easily be done.
Just think he has more to play for, player of the year etc, Costa looks like he's house hunting in Madrid already
Feel like I need Zlatan to Captain him and also he is the stand out GW35 captain right?
Very divided opinions. I'm going without. Gametime too risky and his fixtures aren't good. Much more confident with Kane and Kaku. Not sure who Im capping though
Jaku to DDG -4
Yes or No?
Jaku will probably concede but save points are unlikely.
Utd are almost nailed to get a clean sheet vs Burnley and he could pick up save pts v City.
Jaku = 2-3pts
DDG = 8-9pts
Both with the possibility of one extra clean sheet.
Thoughts?
I would especially if you have no WC. DeGea has 2 more games.
Would you do Tadic,Lukaku > Hazard,Negredo?
Not for lukaku
No
Champ league predictions:
Mon V Bor
Barc v Juve
2-2
4-0
stfu
lol last one not a chance
Don't jinx it. I think we'll score though.
So do I 🙁 But I reckon this one's gonna end up being very close. 🙂
PSG were stupid - Juve aren't. I'm Milanista but i'll be routing for you tonight!
Totally fine with 4-1.
2-1
2-1
Who to bench and who to captain out of:
Zaha King Coutinho Alli Hazard
Lukaku Kane Negredo
Tough one
Thinking Negredo(C) and bench king or coutinho
King
Kane or Zaha
Bench king..
Toss a coin for kane/lukaku(c)
AoA?
How'd you end up with that? There's no one safe to bench out of those.
Captain: toss a coin between Kane and Lukaku.
Played AoA unfortunately, scared to bench any of them but King looks likely. That hattrick he scored was too good, haven't dropped him since.
It's not just the hat-trick, he's been excellent for a while now, the highest scoring midfielder overall since GW 22.
Kane, Lukaku, Hazard, Alli - not an option.
Zaha and Negredo have DGW.
It's either Coutinho or King but either of them can hurt you. I'd play Coutinho, though, since Liverpool have been known to play very high-scoring games against Palace (something like 3-3, 4-2).
So bench King, since he's bound to stop scoring sometime. But I would not be surprised if he finds the net again at all.
No man u or Boro defenders..
Forster / jaku
Alonso / Davies / nyom / cedric / amat
Forster->DDG
Nyom->Friend (if Fabio is out)
Like it?
Nyom to Friend is a good move
like
DeGea or Bailly to go with Valencia?
Bailly for bonus potential, slightly riskier than DDG but should play both
Would you do either of these 2 options for -4?
1.Grant,Tadic > DeGea,Townsend
2. Pieters,Tadic > Bailly,Townsend
Yep, either of them
I'm 0.1 short to transfer Jones to Gibson. Is the next best option to risk getting Chambers, or will he not start both games?
PVA
Tough to predict, better to avoid I think... Friend can be an option if Fabio is out
7 years, 21 days agoI am thinking that the defender i'll get in Brunt's place this gw i'll start him in gw35,so PVA better option than Gibson right?
