Paul A little later than usual, we look back on the previous round of fixtures after last night’s Manchester derby brought the curtain down on Double Gameweek 34.
As many of us prepare to unleash our second Wildcards, a number of big-hitters make a strong claim for our plans over the remaining four Gameweeks.
On wc
Caballero
Yoshida Stephens bailey
Hazard Erikson Alli coutinho sane
Kane gabbi
Pickford Jesus monreal gabriel
1.1 itb for a bit of wiggle room regarding Sanchez.
Any suggestions lads?
Double Arsenal defence and double southampton defence is asking for trouble.
Correct but need to make about 30 points up on one or 2 ml rivals so worth the risk, Gabriel and Stephens playing time is more of an issue
Double arsenal worth the risk
5th MF aimed at DGW
A) Capoue 4.5m
B) Albrighton 4.9m (some rotation risk?)
C) Fletcher 4.5m
I know they are on their hols but i actually fancy Capoue
Stretch to JWP??
.1 short
Gotta be albrighton even with rot risk imo
B
B
Playing AoA this week.
Start Valencia and Alonso and bench Yoshida?
Yes though I don't think Valencia will play anyway
Yeah, though can't you save for gw38? What's your front 8
What change to make this week? 5.5 itb 1ft, wildcarding next week
Jaku (Grant)
Alonso, Bailly, Stephens (Brunt, Bernardo)
Alli, Sanchez, King, Coutinho
Kane, Lukaku, Rashford
Actually nothing..
Maybe Rash -> Gabbi (C)?
Thanks, this was my thinking
Grant -> your WC keeper?
Wouldnt change anything tbh.
Would you do Siggy/Son > Hazard for a -4 if WCing next week?
No.
Chances of Valencia starting against Swansea?
Tempted to shift to Daniels/Blind as a final punt before WC
If you have a good defence if he were to get rested I'd leave it.
Baines as support, probably will shift Baines. Just dont fancy Valencia playing.
Might be rested with Europa coming up.
Daniels could be good.
Thanks Rod
Next move here? Siggy to Hazard?
Will WC after this GW, and BB in 37.
Forster
Alonso Valencia Pieters
Alli Sane Sigurdsson King Zaha
Lukaku Kane (C)
Jaku, Negredo, Mcauley, Holebas
4.5 ITB
Any of these for a hit lads?
a) Lukaku > Jesus
b) Zaha > Arnautovic
c) Carroll > Gabbiadini (Bench Zaha)
Not for a hit
I'd just play Zaha against Burnley.
Here's Top Marx with his look at the career HoF top 5 - featuring a close look at the wildcard team of one of this elite.

Cup draws soon, Jonty?
Last page bottomed.
Gtg?
Pickford
Davies McAuley Bertrand
Alli Sanchez Zaha Sane
Lukaku Benteke Kane (c)
Boruc Firmino Barragan Mee
Would definitely play Firmino over all your mids
This. Firmino over Zaha for sure, and Sanchez for that matter.
Ok
Fact you have benteke underlines zaha bench
Was thinking sell Davies and Firmino and get Eriksen and a cheapie
I would rather have Firmino over Eriksson this week. Let alone the hit. Assume you still have WC ?
Whoever you were gonna bench for Eriksson. Bench for Firmino
Watford are decent at home. Always getting clean sheets.
Against weak attacking sides though
Spurs are even decenter at home !!
Ok yes and I do have WC
Might just bench Zaha and save the transfer for 38 after wildcard and bench boost
Repost sorry
Gtg???? Right bench and order ?
WC next week
Ddg
Valencia. Daniels. Alonso
Firmino. Coutinho. Alli. Zaha
Kane c. Rashford. Lukaku
Grant. Siggy. Bavies. Holebas
Folks, i still have my WC along with my Triple captain and bench boost
I want to use my bench boost in GW 37 so should i WC now in order for me to use my triple captain in GW 36 because there are no other Double gameweeks for me to use my triple captain
I hope this makes sense
Definitely
Obvs
Yep. TC Sanchez?
Seems like only option?
Yes, I would.
I only have BB left, so I'm wcing next.
Here's me thinking i had a quiet night in. Stress levels through the roof now
TC could be used GW 38. Chelsea plum home fixture (SUN) for example.
Meaning you could save WC for GW 36.
Unless you're tied to the rule of using TC in a DGW (basically just Sanchez? Who isn't playing amazing.)
Just a few opinions on my one week punt would be appreciated. So far I have 1 for B (Arnautovic). Which is best and why, please!?
A) Kun > Jesus/Gabbi
B) Siggy > Sane/Arnie/King (bench JWP)
C) Eriksen > Sane/Arnie/King
B with King
Can you afford b to Coutinho or Firmino ?
Nope, but i have them both already.
Need a team of differentials to catch up 120 pts in ML!
Any help on more differentials appreciated.
Cech Pickford
Kompany Huth Yoshida Gabriel Stephens
Sanchez Hazard Sane Eriksen King
Vardy Jesus Gab
Which ones are differentials so far?
Huth Jesus Gab Kompany
And vardy
Gabriel
those ain't no differentials, almost everyone I know has 7-9 players that you have
The problem is that true differentials are differentials for a reason, they're either cheaper or crapper, or both. But take a look at Albrighton, JWP, Tadic, Redmond, Simpson, Fuchs, Cedric, Bertrand, Forster, Schemeichel. I guess only you know if someone is a differential in your league or not
that ship has sailed my friend. Not a lot of differentials in this team either.
I'd look at KDB, Arnautovic, Tadic, Mahrez and others for more differentials...
These four are good shouts. Add Firmino to that.
I'm also looking at KdB. Silva too. Maybe both with Sane because I really am looking to do something different. 2 Arsenal defence and Keper, for example, is quite reasonably unprecedented. If you want to do something different, then do it. But this team is not that I'm afraid
Cech, Kompany -> Willy, Monreal
Would look at bringing in Kane actually.
Thanks guys, and I know it is a lost cause 🙂
Wow! 120? And I thought I was safe with a 90 point lead in my mini league :-/
Pretty much none of them are differentials
Any Palace fans around? Any hope for PVA to start tomorrow or is Schlupp nailed?
I have him but am expecting 1 point sub apperance from him tomorrow but starting with him,
Any news on Bravo?
Pep said he could be out until the end of the season.
http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/man-city-transfer-news-live-12956838
Pep reveals latest on Claudio Bravo after injury
Claudio Bravo may be out for the rest of the season after being stretchered off in last night’s Manchester derby, according to boss Pep Guardiola.
I haven’t spoken to the doctor but it looks like the calf, he said. We will know more on Friday.
He has an injury and it looks like it could be a few games, but we will have to see.
I don’t know if he will be available again this season.
So I guess there may be an update to come today. The above was at 8am.
Wildcard Willy it is! Thanks 🙂
Do we expect Rashford to start against SWA?
Do we after expect him to play both in DGW 37?
Thinking of doing Rashford > Gabi until the end of the season.
Good idea?
Good idea. Just don't be too disappointed if Gabbi's output isn't huge give his dense schedule
how many more wins does chelsea need to close the chapter(champ)?
4
Four
Rojo, Valdes > Willy, Stephens (-8)?
8 points effectively buys me 5 extra fixtures between now and the end. Even if they get 2pts in every game and Stephens is benched once, I would make my points back.
I can't get Haz/Jesus without the cash Stephens frees up. No WC.
Yes
Chances of Gabbiadini starting tomorrow against Hull?
100%, I hope
99? Don't see why he wouldn't
Very likely
Should be cert non?
Why wouldn't he?
Got a load of money in the bank
Got Kane and lukaku
Still got a stinking hangover
Negredo to Costa for one week only?
Take the wisdom of your username.
And yes.
No
Gabbi
Not to Costa. Benteke
Bench looking a bit crazy this week.
Pickford
Alonso – Yoshida – Clichy
Hazard – Ozil – Sane – King
Kane (VC) – Lukaku – Gabbiadini (C)
Bench:
Cech; Zaha; Vertonghen; Holgate
Great team
Thanks! What a WC can do...
I'd bench Ozil over Zaha
Would be good to squeeze Zaha in there somehow.
AOA? I can see Hull/Everton scoring
Play zaha over ozil
I would put the armband on Kane. He will score a brace.
Best 5th mid solely for the 37 bench boost?
Currently looking at Fraser, Albrighton is probably the only double candidate in the under 5m bracket thst interests but fixtures are naff.
JWP or Albrighton
Siggy to Sane (meaning no Hazard) OR Lukaku to Jesus (and get Hazard)?
B
I think JWP and Albright on are equal candidates. JWP had slightly better fixtures + set pieces.
Reply fail to Matiakez...
Logically, it's better to get Gabbi this week and Jesus next. It's just the potential of the latter which is too tempting!
What City defender should I bring in?
Clichy, Stones, or Kolarov?
I have Clichy. I think Stones is injured?
He is, will he come straight back in alongside Kompany?
None of the above
Non of those- too much rotation
thoughts on this -8?
lukaku, negredo and son to
Kane C, gabbiadini and king
ML rival 51 point behind has all three of kane gabby and king
Getting rid of Negredo and Son is the most important, you should have King.
My only worry is being without Lukaku in a match vs Chelsea which will probably motivate him to perform
A -8 is too much at this stage of the season. I'd just go negredo to gabbi for free
News on Bravo? Have i missed something or there hasn't been any update?
Out for a couple of weeks
Heaton
Valencia Yoshida Alonso
Hazard Zaha Alli Eriksen
Lukaku Kane Benteke
subs: Grant, King, Smith, Gibson
1 FT, 2.3 itb
What's the best transfer to make and play for gw35, since I'll wildcard right after?
A) Grant->Caballero?
B) Zaha->Sane?
C) Benteke->Gabbiadini?
D) your suggestion?
E) None?
Thank you
B
