Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Wednesday

The extended Gameweek 34 continues with a big night that delivers three hugely anticipated matches.

There could barely be more Fantasy interest across the trio of encounters, with a scattering of key assets in action.

Firstly, Middlesbrough’s Alvaro Negredo, signed by 201,000 and backed by an improbable 155,000 (3.5%), will bid to improve on a dismal 2-point return from his first fixture when he faces Sunderland at the Riverside Stadium. A crunch encounter for both teams, there will also be keen interest in the Boro defence with Ben Gibson signed by 118,000+ ahead of Saturday’s deadline.

Crystal Palace’s Christian Benteke was undoubtedly the weekend’s star performer with a brace at Anfield to provide his 506,000+ ownership with a 12-point return. Backed by 96,000 (2.1%) with the armband, he will look to build on that return in tonight’s encounter with Spurs.

But the title-challenging visitors will boast their own cast of key figures, with Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen supported by an army of Fantasy owners. Kane is himself backed by 244,000 with the GW34 captaincy.

Finally, at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal will host Leicester City as they bid to revive their top four ambitions having navigated to the FA Cup Final at the weekend.

The big news from north London is that Alexis Sanchez may just be restored to the central striker role, with both Danny Welbeck and Olivier Giroud benched – Theo Walcott comes in and could also be a contender for that position if Wenger retains the 3-4-2-1 system.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    I have Alli - Eriksen & Kane and I am on WC NOW so What to do need to get haza & Sanchez Too so Get ridnof Whom and also keep Kane as Striker ?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      One of Alli/Eriksen for Hazard.

    2. nkhoughton
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Alli is the pricier of the 2 mids drop him, its hard to suggest options without know your budget or team

    3. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Get Özil instead of Sanchez if that makes you afford both Alli and Eriksen

    4. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      I'm strongly considering leaving Kane out as I won't captain him and I favour Costa from 36-38. Frees an extra million...

    Still chuffed with Martial(c). A goal tomorrow and something from Valencia/Rashford and we could be on for a ton, not that you guys care but i'm pretty pleased with myself and no one else will listen.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Smashed it with Martial 🙂

      He and Valencia can haul for you tomorrow but please not Rashford...

      1. Parm
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        If Rashford gets one goal is that ok?

      Thats really good Parm. Well done

      1. Parm
        • 12 Years

        Thanks Cheeseoid, sad that my dad doesn't acknowledge this as any form of achievement and doesn't come to my pre-deadline FPL press conferences.

      Bold pick. Or shrewd? Well done either way 🙂

      1. Parm
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        It was very well educated actually. I just picked the attacker who would actually start against Burnley 😉

          Shrewd then. I'll be sure not to miss your press conference next GW 😉

            Currently it's just me talking to my dog whilst making my transfers would be great if you could join me.

              I'm honored. Thanks Parm. Perhaps the Scouts will livecast proceedings on their channel.

      I've achieved many things in my life but I would swap them all for what you've just done Parm.
      One day I'd like to shake your hand and it would be an honour if I could call you a friend.

      1. Parm
        • 12 Years

        I'm blessed. Thanks Gnu.

    5. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I thought of it for about 2 secs, said no that would be silly and I got in Ibra instead BEFORE the anderlecht game

    6. b✪mber
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Felt this way myself for captaining Costa. Than read this and just realized this move is 3 levels above what I did and now I feel not worthy of mentioning my Costa captaincy ever again - this is what true mastery of the art of FPL really looks like!

      Well done.

  3. Rainer

    7 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else not interested in United assets after the Swansea game?

    Rotation too much of a head ache for me and can see Jose doing what Klopp did last season and resting the whole side around the Semi-finals (bar DDG).

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not interested

    2. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      This.

    3. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Fixtures are awful as well, shocked to see any United players in peoples WC teams

    4. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not interested in pretty much 10-12 teams 😳

  4. Cheeseoid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Well I am thinking of something like this for the WC

    Pickford - Cech
    Evans - Alonso - Yoshida - Stones - Holebas(possibly)
    Hazard - Sanchez - Sane - Herera
    Costa - Kane - Gabbiadini

    1. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      1 midfielder missing

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Whoops sorry that is JWP

    2. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Template. Apart from Herrera.

      But why go with UTD assets now? Need some Spurs in the mid.

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Mostly finances. Otherwise sure Alli or Erik would prob be better in that spot

        1. Yankee Toffee
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Fix up and squeeze some cash out of that def. Drop Holebas & Evans. Could downgrade Alonso as CHE haven't looked great at the back. Stones not nailed either...

          Herrera > Alli/Eriksen
          Gabbi > Vardy

          Could look at King for the run in as well...JWP won't bring more than 4 points.

          1. Cheeseoid
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Its funny how you look at a team and you know thee are a few spots where you have made compromises in order to make it work and people always home in on them straight away.

            Thanks THB

            1. Yankee Toffee
              • 9 Years

              Thanks, Cheese. Good luck to you

    3. liiusions

      King over Herrera

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        But that would ruin the 15 man DGW!

        1. nkhoughton
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          15 DGW can burn you badly, it burnt us last year

          1. Cheeseoid
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            It didn't burn me last year

        2. Messiah Hazard
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Some SGW assets are better than DGW assets. King in one game could score better than Herrera in 2

          1. Cheeseoid
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Could be for sure. But Herrera has some pretty good points in the bag in his last 3 games himself

            1. Gnu
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Go Cheese, we know the unknown pleasures that a DGW can deliver.
              Dempsey, Sessignon, N'Doye & Austin are all in DGW folklore.

                    It was pretty unpleasant tbh. Blizzards and hail for 2 days on and off, really nasty to go out in with little kids

                      That's Scotland in April for you, or any bleedin month for that matter. 🙂

                        I am just glad I wasn't working or i would have been out gritting in places to keep the lorrys moving

        3. liiusions
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          😆 I admire your commitment to the DGW but surely King with his fixtures is the better option

          1. Cheeseoid
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            He may be. It would also block one of my H2H opponents with that player

            I just like going in fully loaded

        4. FFSbet.com
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          This,we didnt keep our WC to have same teams as those without WC!
          We are all in,no Holgate,King etc

    4. nkhoughton
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I do like it, assuming your playing 3-4-3 I'd get someone else instead of herrera, King is very tempting SGW yes but form and fixture, also evans is a no for me, holgate is a better option or stephens

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah. I see that with King for sure and possibly Holgate as well. I will think on it. There is a long way to go but I do like to get the max DGW on the pitch

        1. nkhoughton
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          sgw can outscore a dgw we have seen it this week

          1. Cheeseoid
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            For sure. I don't disagree with that. But a DGW can outscore a DGW as well it is just a matter of getting the balance right and it takes some work

            1. Cheeseoid
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              outscore a SGW of course

    5. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Like it,going for 15 DGWs too.

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        It feels like it is the point of the bench boost chip to me. Last season was trickier to do with the way the DGW's fell but this season is much more straightforward although hard to fit everyone you want into the team

    6. Foozeball
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I don't think a 15 DGW would be necessary. For example, it's a reasonable prediction that Smith or Daniels from Bournemouth will outscore Holebas despite the DGW during GW37. I would also prefer Holgate over Evans

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Nope it isn't necessary at all. This weeks DGW players were pretty much all terrible for example.

        There will be a way of getting the most out of it. I just haven't cracked it yet

  5. nkhoughton
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Think I have finalized my WC plans thoughts?

    Pickford Cech
    Alonso Clichy Holgate Stephens Yoshida
    Alexis Hazard Eriksen King Coutinho
    Gabbiadini Kane Anichebe

    Roll over gw36 FT
    Gw 37 Coutinho & Gabbiadini to Sane & Costa/Vardy
    GW38 Try get Couts or Firm back haha

    1. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Which 3 will start?

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        *at the back

      2. nkhoughton
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        It will vary outside of 37 but more often Alonso Clichy Holgate, although this week i will play clichy yoshida stephens

    2. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Think Costa may be a better option than Gabbi in 36 even if he does have the double

      1. nkhoughton
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I can't get costa with couts, I wanna keep pool mid until 37

    3. Peter Russo
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      so your soton cover for gw37 is yoshida and stephens ? any reason why you think soton defence would be better than gabi or tadic

      1. Peter Russo
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        i see why that was good now lol

    1. nkhoughton
      • 9 Years

      I would like to keep him, I dunno if rose can reclaim his spot

  7. liiusions

    WC36 team

    Cech Pickford
    Alonso Monreal Clichy Stephens Yoshida
    Sanchez Hazard Eriksen King Capoue
    Kane Costa Gabbi

    Look good? Will get Jesus in for Costa and do King->Alli if there's any sign on him starting

    1. Yankee Toffee

      Perfect, now break up the template or you'll have the same amount of points as everyone else on here.

        Won't be my ML template 🙂

        1. Yankee Toffee

          Fair enough.

  8. Jeremiah

    Thoughts on this WC draft? 🙂

    Forster - Pickford
    Monreal - Alonso - Clichy - Yoshida - Amat
    Hazard - Eriksen - Ozil - King - Carroll
    Kane - Costa - Gabb

    1. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Still keeping Amat on a WC?

    2. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Downgrade Alonso and Ozil > Sanchez.

      Otherwise good.

    3. nkhoughton
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      i like it, can you upgrade Carrol to JWP or albright as they have dgw
      Ozil to Alexis if possible
      Amat to anyone else

    4. RealSocialDads
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Will you be using bench boost? If so get rid of Amat, also not a fan of Carroll. Other than that, nice team.

    5. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      Loyal Amat owner 😛

      Apart from Carroll and Amat, it looks nice...

        Dodged the Carroll bullet by default - got rid earlier to bring in Afobe before his expected price rise, not thinking Carroll would drop immediately. Oh well... got the result I wanted anyhow.

        Cheers TM

    For the Wildcard, which combo is better:
    A) Sanchez, Hazard, Jesus
    B) Aguero, Hazard, Walcott (or other 7.7m mid)

    1. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Doubts over Jesus Aguero and Walcotts gametime, don't get any of them in just yet

    2. Ange Ball
      • 9 Years

      A

  11. Ange Ball
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Rival now ahead of me. Thinking taking a risk remove Sanchez pointless having a player rival has knowing your behind.

    Worth taking a punt.

    A) Sanchez》Utd Mid /Arnie/ KDB
    B) Lukaku》Gabs

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years

      How far behind are you?

      1. Ange Ball
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        15pts he has still to play Aguero Herrara De Gea Rashford cap. He still gas TC and bench boost. I only have WC and bench boost. I rely don't know what to do, I pegged back 150pts to only gi top one week now back it's for 100 pound

        1. Pep says
          • 8 Years

          Think you need to wildcard now. Players like Daniels, Maguire could claw you back over the next few weeks. If he doesn't have a team full of dgw players, don't get sucked into the WC templates your seeing on here. Siggy will be a nice differential over the run in I feel. Lots of ditches on here, few did for Zaha or Townsend this week look how that turned out

    If Everton can nick a point off Chelsea and Spurs win their next 2, they'll be top of the table for that weekend

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      If the gap is 1 or 2 come Sunday evening then we're in for some run in 🙂

      Spurs play early 36
      Chelsea play early 37

      It'd be great for FPL too!

        Arsenal is gonna shock the Spurs

      Sunderland (chelsea's final opponent) could possibly decide the league title lol XD

    3. bigbudgie
      • 9 Years

      how about Arsenal finishing Spurs chances of winning the league in the NLD...

  13. Yankee Toffee
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Doesn't everyone have basically this template apart from adding Sane:

    Cech Pickford
    Alonso Monreal Clichy Stephens Yoshida
    Sanchez Hazard Eriksen King 4.5
    Kane Costa Gabbi

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Looks like it. Stephens is the biggest trap of the season. Caceres has to play at some point in the run in. Stephens benched against Boro, will return about 1 pt for all his BB'ers.

      I predict less than 10 pts from now to the end of the season

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        SOU is a trap imho

        1. Pep says
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I'm glad I WC'd when I did. Theses dgw blinkers are contagious I'd imagine. Plan on having 9/10 dgw players and I think that's load.

          Siggy, King, Holgate, Mawson, Daniels and PVA all are great options to me

        2. nkhoughton
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          4.1 is an enabler, who at that price is better or worth it if you already have holgate?

          1. Yankee Toffee
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Holgate or Benalouane. Possibly Holding but I wouldn't touch him.

            I already WCed anyway.

          2. Pep says
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            I honestly would just bring in Ake and use the 0.3 elsewhere. Small chance Aké gets a start. Stephens is gonna score a point or 2 in 37 imo. Ake cheapest enabler

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No I won't have king I will be keeping ali and I will get stones instead of clichy and courtois instead of pickford no alonso for me

      Maybe gabriel?

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Courtois, Pickford
        ???, Monreal Stones Stephens Yoshida
        Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Alli 4.5
        Kane Costa Gabbi

        Looks pretty much the same except making a few exceptions to get more cash for Alli...

    3. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      You need Sane

      1. Yankee Toffee

        Already used my WC 2 weeks ago and reaping the benefits... 😉

        1. Cheeseoid
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

          I suspect that worked out for you. My whole season can mostly be described as a clusterfunk

        2. Pep says
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Used mine after gw28. Only subs I've made have been Davies to Gibbo (to allow Kane in), Coleman to PVA, Ibra to Kane and Gabbi to Tekkers.

          Have 2 free this week and just need to make defensive substitution. -4 next week but it's only my 1st since the WC, I had been hitting like crazy before then

          1. Yankee Toffee
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            My team was a mess as well, but has been better since. Use it when you need it, golden rule.

            1. Cheeseoid
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Of course that moment isn't always clear cut. If I hadn't used my first wildcard when I had I would be much higher up the table right now. I really messed it up

  14. Mockingbird

    How is this for my WC,

    Cech/Pickford

    Holgate/Gabriel/Smith/Yoshida/Stephens

    Sanchez/Hazard/Eriksen/Alli/King

    Kane/Costa/Gabbi

    0.2 ITB

    decide to went with cheapo def, anything worth fixing? specially on def?

    1. Mancunian
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I think captaining Kane is a safer option. Too early for Gabbi

      1. nkhoughton
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Kane have arsenal, its a very tough fixture

  17. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    This is a real wtf fpl week for me its disaster was laid when I missed a .1 rise on kane a few weeks ago and got valdes and fabio instead of my preferred options of hennessy and gibson.

    That cost me 10 points.

    But worst of all because I could not get gibson without another hit, I decided to get Ibra BEFORE the Anderlecht game (he never gets injured and that price rise would stop me from getting gibson) That was the logic!

    After the Ibra injury I decided not to get gibson then!

    Then on top of that the fella on top of one of mini leagues got 70 and a fella chasing me in a money league got 85.

    They both captained benteke. Even more sickening the fella who got 85 had Guzan in goal!

    I am set on Gabby in for Origi with 1ft.

    Then either Stephens (or Ake although I think I will wait a bit on him) in for Gibson to free up cash or save 1ft.

    What would you do?

    2ft, 0.8m.
    Only BB left amongst the Chips..

    Hennessey.
    Bailly, Yoshida, B Davies.
    Alli, Sanchez, Hazard, Zaha, De Roon.
    Kane, Aguero, Origi.

    Pickford, De Roon, Holgate, Gibson.

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Wait and see on Kun and Davies. Zaha out.

      1. Sz21
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Zaha has a nice fixture this week though.

        Davies started last night too.
        Not sure they are 1st priority to get rid atm.

      I have the same dilemma depends where you think you need to use the extra funds

    2. Sz21
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Too much risk I think with Holding in the mix too and Mustafi not far away.

  20. Parm

    Here's your winning DGW36/37 team

    Bravo, Pickford.
    Gabriel, Janmaat, Yoshida, Stephens, Holgate.
    Sánchez, Hazard, Ozil, Alli, Fábregas.
    Kane, Jesus, Gabbiadini.

    1. Yankee Toffee

    3. b✪mber
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I see the appeal, but I got a few questions. 🙂
      You think Fab is nailed - like more nailed than Pedro for the remaining of the season?
      What happens to Gabriel once Mustafi is back - still nailed?
      How many minutes more will Gabbi get compared the players that have 1 less game and compared to the players from teams with 2 games less than Soton?
      Can we really trust the Arsenal mid... Can we really trust Arsenal?
      Staring to feel like FPLVirgin, so I'll just stop 😀

    I guess I'm about ok with my WC but can't decide to either sacrifice
    1. alonso to stones (or 4.8m def)
    Or
    2. Costa to jesus

    1. Yankee Toffee

      I suspect Jesus will only play one of their DGW matches at most if it helps. He is just coming back from a major injury after all

    Jaka, Pickford

    Azpili, Clichy, Bailey, Monreal, Stephans

    Sane, King, Hazard, Sanchez, Redmond

    Kane, Gabbi, Costa

    Rate it out of 10 🙂

    OR any other feedback on who should i get or consider before i confirm

    1. Peter Russo
      • 8 Years

      All good apart fro redmond, he's risky.

      1. Nigawan
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        should i drop redmond for tadic/ some 4.1 player? or having 2 soton player is enough. free up case to upgrade stephans to betrand?

        1. Peter Russo
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          if you have funds for tadic defo do that he's the main guy that pulls the strings. second option is to maybe do bertrand.

      No one help 😥

    2. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      @optimus I hate loading imgurs but since you asked

      I hate the triple Saints. Drop Stephens for Holgate.

      Midfield is good, your risking no Sanchez but it's justified. No king is a slight worry, he's been unstoppable lately. Sané is a good pick though as long as he keeps his minutes.

      Gabbi isn't for me but heaps will disagree with me.

      With 17.1m you should look at defender like Smith and Maguire. I'm getting Daniels in for Gibbo this week but that could be stretching your budget. Benteke is a good option to put in the front next to Kane and Gabbi. You have no funds for Jesus or Costa though, you could regret that next week.

      1. OptimusBlack

    Sanchez - Hazard - King - Sane - Albrighton

    When life hit's you in the face flying by so quick. You realise you messed up, you see your friends making million pound boxing fights being champion and being on Fast and the furious 8 and games of thrones, I'm just worrying about stupid wildcard to win my mini league.

      FPL is a hobby.
      Everybody has hobbies and they all consume time and plenty of it.
      Sure what else would u really like to be doing?

      Also~ Since when did comparing ourselves to others help anybody?

      We are all screwed by that logic because we aren't the president of the USA I suppose or playing in the Premier League..

      Comparing ourselves to others is a loser's game anyway.

    Only dgw players to get a good scores so far were United defenders (who face City next) and Benteke who did the damage in the a single game. Don't bee fooled people.

    Holgate is a much better choice for those people doubling up with Stephens and Yoshida

    King is a much better choice than Redmond, JWP, Albrighton, Herrera etc.

      This year for sure Pep and I think you are right, however I still smile when I think about the 190 BB dgw last year so I will go at least 13 for 37 I think.

  30. The Big Fella
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Debating getting rid of Sanchez when I WC. I am frustrated that Wenger insists on playing the likes of Walcott and Welbeck up front and the answer to his low scoring games is on the left wing. It will also free up 11.2m for me. Thoughts?

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      \Sanchez feels like the captain choice for GW36 to me. Although I agree with what you say he is not ideal right now

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah this is what puts me off too. I could WC for 36 and then sell him in time for 37. Not sure who I would buy though. Can't see Gabbi playing 4 games in 10 days either so I would need to change him after the GW36 DGW.

        Wenger is so frustrating. Welbeck and Walcott are both turd and Giroud has the mobility of John Terry's mum on her knees.
