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.
Bailly
Bailly. Gametime.
Thanks chaps.
Trying to talk myself out of Ibra and pack out the defence with DGW players. Would leave me with.
Jaku,
Valencia, Gibson, Bailly
Eriksen, Dele, Sanchez, Coutinho
Benteke, Lukaku, Kane
Still tempted by Kaku to Ibra, scared to go without.
Bailly
Who to bring in for Brunt? Gibson or Daniels ?
Gibson
Gibson
Which one lads? Using my WC for GW36 and BB for GW37
Heaton
Chambers | Luiz | Davies
Sanchez | Zaha | Alli | DeRoon | Cout
Lukaku | Kane
Origi | Baines | Mawson
A) Origi > Negredo -4 (Use my AOA/Don't use AOA)
B) Origi + Mawson > Negredo + Bailey -8 (Use my AOA/Don't use AOA)
C) Origi + Heaton > Negredo + DDG -8 (Use my AOA/Don't use AOA)
C) Save and play above team
How about just Heaton -> De Gea?
negredo i feel will get at least 1 goal out of the two compared to origi and DDG will get at least 6 points compared to heaton who will get 2
Hope FPL don't prematurely list Firmino as a striker next season. Looks like Klopp will be signing a new CF anyway, with Bobby F in behind.
They would have too, surely?
Which one of origi/sturridge will be leaving then?
How many DGW players do you have this week and how many hits?
Me: 5 - no hits. (might change my mind if injuries later in the week of course)
5, no hits, but benching de Roon so 4 will be playing
4, 1 hit.
4 no hits.
4, saving transfer
3. Saving FT
6, no hits.
3, two of them doubtful to play both (Valdes, Chambers) and have no mids or forwards at the moment.
Will probably go with 5 with a hit.
4 no hits
4 no hits but looking at Ibra...
Bye bye Lukaku.
3 (brought in valdes and Rojo), took a hit. 2 of them (Valdes, Chambers) are not even certain to start.
1 banker in Zaha.
Bad luck with Chambers and especially Valdes.
Valencia also now a risk.
Should have 4 from my planning but that seems pointless at times 🙂
6. 1 hit
3 and saving FT.
3 if I'm lucky
7, -8
Best 4.9 dgw defender?
Chambers or Friend (I think they'll start both, that's my opinion though)
PVA
Zizoo replied below by mistake
Chambers
Who you do aguero to negredo for this game week only?
For fun, sure...
Dont know if it'll bring more points or not 😳
I bought in Friend but PVA perfect for your value, probably more explosive too.
Nah, Friend's the better option out of them imo
cheers, i think friend will outscore pva anyway, so might stick with him
Pickford Jaku
Valencia Pieters Smith Holgate Yoshida
Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Sterling Zaha
Ibra Lukaku Barnes
0.1 ITB, 1 FT. Would you make any change?
My team for GW34:
Valdes*
Bailly* Alonso Friend*
Alli Zaha* Siggy De Roon*
Aguero Kane Lukaku(C)
Bench: Pickford Tadic Davies Robertson
0FT / 2.5ITB
Already on -4, anything else worth a hit? Bench in order?
When are people planning to Triple Captain?
Doesn't seem like anyone is going that route this week, so could be a nice differential. Using it this week enables the WC in 36 rather than 35, which could be useful (bench boost obviously held for 37).
Sanchez GW36 is what most are going for
How about those with WC ?
Play Maguire or King?
Pickf
Alonso Valencia Gibson (Mag)
Alli Eriksen Zaha (King)
Kane Kaku Benteke/Negredo
I am likely playing Maguire ahead of Alonso (gulp).
Ballsy! I like.
never bench King
This
Mag or Gibson, then?
Foster/Llorente/Coleman > DDG/Negredo(C)/Friend(bench Robertson)
-8, good?
wow you still have coleman ...
those transfers look good .do it
he's been a gorilla on my back ever since i brought him in.
-4 to not play Robertston who has a good shout at a CS?
Friend just back from injury and not played much either.
That would make me sweat a little, for sure.
true, i get carried away at times.
might go with foster/sanchez/llorente > ddg/cabaye/ibra(C) instead
But then that's a -8 and you still have Coleman.
1 FT, 0.6m ITB.
Valdes (Pickford)
Mustafi, Davies, Chambers, (Ward, Stephens)
Sanchez, Firmino, Alli, Coutinho, Walcott
Ibra, Lukaku (Anichebe)
Thoughts appreciated!
Get rid of Walcott for Zaha f.ex
Thought's on Townsend?
Hard to tell. Seems like a coin toss, really. Nice differential, Townsend seems to be more involved scoring while zaha gets assists. I wouldn't double up this gw (zaha owner myself)
Ye I'm pretty much deciding between Townsend, Zaha and Sane (no WC).
Wally to Zaha yes
Thought's on Townsend vs Zaha?
WC used already, Sane a better option considering it will save a hit later?
A. Ibra Robertson Zaha
B. Lukaku Robertson Zaha + 4
C. Lukaku Townsend Zaha (AOA)
C
...
When are people planning to Triple Captain?
Doesn't seem like anyone is going that route this week, so could be a nice differential. Using it this week enables the WC in 36 rather than 35, which could be useful (bench boost obviously held for 37).
The best TC options are in GW 37.
I'm seriously considering using my BB either 34 or 36 (after WC in 35) and the using my TC on Sanchez or Kane in 37.
Who do you have in mind for this week? Ibra not guaranteed two starts, and Benteke has terrible fixtures.
who are you using TC on this week?
Ibra is the only option.
His away record is excellent he has had his rest and I suspect he will see certainly the next few games out until 4th is out of reach (post Manchester Derby).
Maybe Valencia isn't a bad shout though. One clean-sheet and 8-points minimum? Not explosive, but...
1FT, 2.9m ITB.
A. Valdes > DDG
B. Stones > Bailly
C. Barnes > Benteke
Team:
Valdes (Jakupovic)
Walker • Valencia • Chambers (Stones • Stephens)
Zaha • Sanchez • Alli • Coutinho • Sane
Kane • Lukaku (Barnes)
All 3 are good options.
Definitely C.
C involves a bench headache though? Who would I bench?
sane
Would have to be Sane against United.
Tekkers
Ok, gents, what to do:
Pick, Foster
Alonso, VAlencia, Yoshida, Fabio, Amat
Sanchez, Eriksen, Alli, Siggy, Zaha
Ibra, Lukaku, Barnes
1 FT, 1.8 itB
I'm thinking Fabio/Foster to Gibson/DDG for -4.
Then WC next week.
What do you think?
A) Bravo, Chambers, Yoshida, Son, King
or
B) De Gea, Stones, Yoshida, Son, JWP,
or
C) De Gea, Stones, Lovren, King, Redmond
for rest of season or suggestions?
B
just have this horrible feeling King might explode
The closer the gameweek deadline,the more I think Negredo(C) makes sense
Why ?
Idk,dgw fever?
You have a beer an hour till then like?
Not any worse than Ibra(c) or Benteke(c) for sure. None of those fill me with confidence.
Would you try to get Valdes or Hennessey and cheap Boro def for a hit .
?
Who here is shipping Romelu this week?
I plan to ship next week for Gabiadini.
Next week for Kane 🙂
Did it this week for Kane
Already have Kane. Good move
Thanks. I just feel it's pointless for me owning Lukaku as I'm at a poor OR and need to start climbing
Pickford Jaku
Valencia Pieters Smith Holgate Yoshida
Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Sterling Zaha
Ibra Lukaku Barnes
0.1 ITB, 1 FT. Would you make any change??
Ladies, gentlemen, I am at a complete and utter loss about what to do with this team. It's decent enough, but it is exceedingly badly positioned with respect to the upcoming double gameweeks, and there is a highly regrettable preponderance of Swansea players in there, for some reason. Take a look:
Heaton (Robinson)
Valencia Walker Brunt (Pieters Kingsley)
Sanchez Alli King Sigurdsson (De Roon)
Lukaku Kane Llorente
1FT, 0.3 in the bank.
I have so many possible ideas in mind it might be pointless listing them, but a few:
1) Siggy > Zaha
2) Siggy + Llorente > Zaha + Negredo/Benteke (-4)
3) Llorente + Brunt > Negredo + Van Aanholt (-4)
I have a range of other ideas that involve Ibrahimovic, Origi etc. but, for now, anyone got the faintest idea what I should be prioritising here? One or possibly both of Llorente and Siggy must surely make way.
Cheers, sorry for the long post.
Siggy + Llorente -> Zaha + Benteke looks decent enough.
You can even take more hits, even up to -12 could pay off.
I'm a bit cautious about taking too many hits, but thanks.
2 makes sense.
Thanks, and I agree.
2 with Negredo
Yes, I also lean toward Negredo. Better fixtures, spread the risk, and he's having a bit of a renaissance at the minute.
Do you reckon De Gea will play both matches if he doesn't play Thursday?
Most probably...though you never know with Mou.
Yes, he's our best keeper and they're important games. No reason to rest him
Should do, my pal on here, Jazz (UTD fan) told me he'll play league games from now on 🙂
* play all league games
Say its gw37 and this is a BB team
DDG Cech
Alonso Valencia Mustafi *** Yoshida
Sanchez Alli Eriksen *** JWP
Kane *** Gabbiadini
A) Holgate Sane Costa
B) PVA Zaha Ibra/Costa
What do you prefer? Asking now as getting PVA in for Holgate would mean being stuck with Zaha (no wildcard) I'm leaning A) as City and Chelsea attackers seem vital but maybe I'm looking too far ahead?
probably B
A because of sane
Cheers lads
which is the safer punt this week?
A) Rashford
B) Pogba
B
B more likely to play I would guess, but A much more potential.
Rashford
Such a thing as a safe punt? Rashford is the puntier of the two so i guess that makes Pogba the safer
1 FT
Bank: 0.1
Jakupovic
Walker - Rannochia - Alonso
Sane - Eriksen - Coutinho - Hazard
Llorente - Kane - Lukaku (c)
Subs: Heaton,De Roon, McAuley and Ake.
What do you think of my team? Any suggestions?
Zaha v Townsend - my thoughts:
Zaha going at Bavies/Milner, Townsend at Clyne/Walker probably. Advantage Zaha there perhaps.
Townsend extra motivation v Spurs? Potentially fresher at this point in season. Better BAP potential.
Both getting plenty of minutes. Both fairly selfish and prone to wildness. Both very similar in price.
Really worried I will choose wrong one. Would get both but not for -8.
I think if you're going to count motivation, Zaha will have as much, if not more, against Spurs as Townsend will.
Both are good options, Townsend if want more of a differential
My ML rival has Zaha and with a small lead the cover option is the safe play, even though I'd rather go AT. Also have decent OR for the safety option.
Yep, Zaha looks the pick in your situation
same situation as u..chasing 13 pts but i want be ballsy and going for AT
ML has zaha
Good luck - it could go either way so you are right to go AT I think
If I could reverse my Zaha transfer and go with Townsend I would. Didnt factor the BAP-ability of Townsend, which is what you want in the DGW.
Both may well be an option with the good GW35 if you have WC. Mi issue is I have Benteke and that would really be overkill.
If you have Benteke, maybe you don't need either...
I have Zaha, not getting Benteke because don't think he's worth -4 if Zaha will most likely match his output.
I think the defense is where most of the DGW points will come from to be honest.
Not for me - I can't see Palace holding Pool or Spurs to zero, they are too free scoring. For me its Palace attack for 3 games then WC, so 2 of them appeal. Man U and Boro I think will get one CS from two.
I have Bailly and will likely go Gibson as the FT - so one of these makes a -4 which I think is reasonable.
1 free transfer. thinking B. Thoughts?
A) Heaton --> Valdes
B) Baines --> Gibson
B
thanks
How does this sound?
Wk 34 Grant,Tadic > DeGea,Townsend -4
Wk 35 T.Carroll,Lukaku > Sane,Gabiadini-4
7 years, 21 days agoBailly or PVA?
Already have Valencia, Gibson...
