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.
For this week. Would you rather have Haz or King?
so tough to call. i would say hazard
Different crowd so posting again.
Would you rather have Benteke or Gabbiadini as a one GW punt this week? I own Townsend and Zaha already.
Thanks 🙂
Wow. Eh.....Not sure. Benteke based on the last match I guess. It's a coin toss though.
Benteke
As you have the other two, I'll say Gabbiadini.
GAbbi easily
Cheers all. Coin toss.
tekkers
You're getting rid of Gabbiadini before 2 consecutive DGWs?
No, he's selling someone else and can't decide between Benteke and Gabbi. 🙂
How many double gameweek players are people going with for 36?
4-6
Looks like 5 for me.
Three. Sanchez, Monreal and Gabbiadini.
Sanchez, Yoshida, Gabbiadini, Possibly Arsenal Defender, Possible Stephens, Possibly JWP.
3-6.
Planning to have 5
Six, but might only play five since I like a few of my single game week defenders more than Yoshida in GW36, and I'm getting Yoshida mostly for the double in GW37 and because he's cheap.

Is team value worth it? As you build or prepare to build your wildcard teams for the important late season doubles, do you feel you have enough money? What is your sale value and are you happy it is enough to allow you to build the team you want?
In all my seasons playing FPL I've never really paid attention to team value.
I think it is important. I'm top of my league with a TV of £107m. Means I can WC next week and afford Kun, Kane, Lukaku, Alli, Hazard and Alonso in the same team.
That is a nice core group of players.
It can certainly help, but I've never paid it much attention. To me, it feels like a lot of work/juggling only to have Sanchez instead of Ozil, or Aguero instead of Jesus, or Tadic instead of JWP (you get the point) for a few weeks at the end of the year.
And I think you're doing well this year, so that does seem to be working for you.
Yeah, that helps, and, admittedly, might skew my thinking. Maybe I've gotten lucky with my selections this year, but I've just always hated taken hits to gain a little bit of value here or there. Some on here have been able to gain value without taking hits - and kudos to them - but oftentimes chasing a high TV comes with negative points.
GW35 is for punts.
Here is my final team!
De Gea
Bailly Yoshida Alonso
Tadi(C) Zaha Arnie Sanchez Alli
Lukaku Vardy
Cue 34 points with Bailly and De Gea my only source of points > 2.
The Tadic one is interesting. He could be a good differential for next week too.
Not too sure I'll be keeping him for next week yet as will be on the wildcard, much will depend on this.
Which is the better one week punt?
Gabbiadini
Afobe
Afobe for me
either way ill bring in Gabbiadini in WC next week
Not sure Hull are the whipping boys people expect them to be, I had already brought Afobe in as a one week punt then decided to WC and get Gabbi in
I was thinking this, too. And then I looked at their recent away form. They give up tons of chances and goals away from home. And if Soton gets one early, they'll have to come out and attack to get a point or three out of the match.
I think going down a man forced them to play more defensively and less open against Watford. Oddly, it seemed they were helped--at least defensively--by losing a man.
Gabbiadini.
Gabbiafobe.
Gabbiadini though, he's good.
Gabb
Hull concede on the road... Gabbi
King is the best Bournemouth option
Any interesting comments from Pep's presser about the possibility of Jesus starting?
A) Pickford to Caballero
B) Negredo to Gabbi and bench Zaha
B
Sorry A) is Valdes to Caballero
Depends if you have another fit keeper?
Yep...Pickford
B
Yo totally ruined others' judgement with the typo 🙂 A, you get 2 DGW keepers and no benching headache, play Zaha.
bench one kaku zaha alexis ta
Zaha, and swap Kaku to Jesus 😉
already on -4 😀
Are you keeping Lukaku for the DGW's? If not, then isn't worth getting rid now ahead of the Chelsea game (from a probabilty point of view)?
Tough decision, surely there's someone worse. From them it'd be Alexis if you have the balls.
haz,erik,alli,gabbi,bentek.ta
alexis
Zaha
cheersall
Along the Big Numbers theme, I've created a "Hot Shots" table showcasing the best attacking threats.
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/17261/
Filters are:
1 in 3 shots on target, or better
1 in 6 shots result in a goal, or better (I could make this more strict but it would result in Benteke, Alli and Firmino being dropped from the table).
Team creates a chance for them every 60 mins, or better
3 starts minimum
Nice. Lazar Markovic leading the poll. I will be sure to bring him in.
It depends which global filter you apply 🙂 If you choose last 4 gameweeks, then he's right up there. My only concern would be he's averaging only 1.5 chances per game, so 3 in 2. Even King is low in this respect.
I was taking the piss.
Oh, he's genuinely on there when looking at a short term view! It's a balance between removing proven assets like Alli and Firmino who take a lot of shots to score and including players you'd never seriously consider.
Fantastic resource though.
That's a very good table. One of the best I have seen for a while.
Cheers Ruth. I was using it earlier in the season and have just revisited it and tweaked it a little.
Helps me keep on the straight and narrow with my transfers 🙂
1: Anyone know how long Bravo is out for?
2: What to do with Mustafi, wait for GW 37?
1. could be season
2. two weeks, maybe
Thoughts on my WC this week? Tricky bench decision, still not decided between Gabbi Jesus or even Sanchez
Caballero / Pickford
Alonso Yoshida Stephens / Gabriel Holgate
Sanchez Hazard Alli Eriksen King
Kane(c) Gabbi / Jesus
0ITB
Bench jesus.im not sure caballero either...
Sorry,didnt know bravo is injured.so g2g
Cantvwait to hot that wc button tomorrow. How does this wc team look?
Cech Caballero
Alonso Monreal Yoshida Vertonghen Stephens
Sanchez Hazard Alli King T.Carroll
Kane Jesus Gabbiadini
0.1 to spare and 13 dgwers
very, very strong!
Caballero huge risk
Yeah, could be pickford instead
Why is he a risk?
Sorry,didnt know he is injured.so g2g.how long is he out?
I mean how long is bravo out?
BRavo is out
Yea looks good, although I would maybe get JWP instead of Carroll. Gabriel instead of Monreal would get you that kind of money for example
Bertrand instead of one of the other Southampton defenders
no united?
Gabbi, Alli, Eriksen, Lukaku, Sanchez, Tekkers or Hazard for the captaincy?
I am on Kane atm, but out of those maybe Tekkers
Hello peeps I'm stuck for ideas on how to move improve this team will be using my WC next DGW any suggestions or advice is appreciated:
DDG
Alonso Cedric McAuley
Ali King Siggy Zaha
Aguero (VC) Lukaku Kane (C)
Subs:Pickford,De Roon,Friend & Mawson
1 FT 0.1 ITB
Remove:
McAuley
Siggy
Zaha
Aguero
De Roon
Friend
Mawson
I plan on shifting all them on my WC next GW.
one week punt yes? Tadic for Siggy?
Clichy, Kolarov, or Stones?
Clichy
On my wildcard
5th draft WC Team
Caballero Pickford
Alonso Walker Monreal Stephens Holgate
Hazard Sanchez Eriksen Coutinho King
Kane Gaddiadini Anichebe
Please suggest !!
Walker seems to get rotated. Maybe swap him with Vertoghen who will play every game
this! And yoshi for stephens if you have the cash
Huth fit's that rotation better than Walker/Vertoghen IMO.
Looks good. It's vary similar to one of my drafts (I've got Huth, Yoshida and Alli instread of Walker, Stephens and Eriksen)
Downgrade coutinho and upgrade anichebe maybe.
Can get this team if i WC now. otherwise will have to move someone around cause haza gab and picky are going up by next week. should i pull the trigger or wait?
cech pickford
alonso bailly gabriel yoshida holgate
sanchez hazard alli eriksen sane
kane gab anichebe
Arsenal defender suggestions ??
Monreal
Gabriel
Monreal, roll the dice on Gabriel if you're short of funds. Cech also looks pretty good value.
I think i am gng with Gabriel as i am short on funds just short of 0.1 to get monreal
De Bruyne a good player for this week?
He's a good player, but he's not been great value this season. If it's using your cash as a one week punt before wildcard it's a decent roll of the dice.
Cheers, that's exactly the plan
Great differential
Is it madness to go without Kane this week? Thinking A) makes the most sense here and then reassess for the DGWs, but the Kane FOMO is strong.....
A) Ibra -> Gabbi & save FT
B) Bavies/Stones & Ibra -> Yoshida & Kane
C) Son & Ibra -> Tadic & Kane
D) Ibra & Kaku -> Gabbi & Kane
E) Son, Ibra & Kaku -> Haz, Kane & Gabbi (-4)
Jaku
Valencia, Brunt, Stones
Sanchez, Eriksen, King, Zaha
Ibra, Lukaku, Benteke
Grant, Son, Bavies, Robertson
Bank 0.0m, 2FT, no Wildcard
B for now. Reassess after the games.
Start Heaton (cry) or Jaku(sou)? Thanks
Heaton
Which 3 would you prefer?
A)Cech,Sane, Huth
B)Caballero, Eriksen, Maguire
I prefer B but A has more games so I'm kinda stuck...
Do you have any other Spurs mid? If not B.
Who should I keep and who should I sell before gw37:
A) Holgate
B) King
C) Daniels
Happy Friday all. Will this do for this week or anything worth a hit? King or Tekkers for El Capitan?
De Gea
Kompany, Maguire, PVA
Alli, King, Sanchez, Sane, Zaha
Tekkers, Kaku
Bench is Pickford, Negredo, Gibson, Fabio
Gabbi or king for a week punt?
The King
Gabbi
Cheers
Do you think Blind will hold on to his spot when likes of smalling and jones return ?
Fatigue wont be a problem for him.
I think Blind is fantastic for Bps but I think he will get rotated when they're back.
To start vs Mboro: Kun or Jesus?
Can't see Jesus starting!
Ta. Want to C Kun but I'm top of my my ML and don't want to be taking unnecessary risks
Kun (C) is never a risk
think both will start
Hold the WC till after GW 35 if I can, right? Only BB to use. I've almost finalised my team but want to have a look at Arsenal defense, City lineup and Saints situation.
right
WC active!
What do you think?
Cab
Bailly Yoshi Stephens
Sanchez Hazard Alli King Sane
Kane(C) Gabbi(V)
Pickford Anichebe Monreal Kosc
Remove kosc
Not playing him this weak, but like the two doubles in a row!
Who would you replace him with?
Chelsea defender if you can afford it.
Bailey and Kos, to Huth and Alonso if you can't
0.1 short of David Luiz
