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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    For this week. Would you rather have Haz or King?

    1. poulteren
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      so tough to call. i would say hazard

  2. BigManBakar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    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 🙂

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Wow. Eh.....Not sure. Benteke based on the last match I guess. It's a coin toss though.

    2. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Benteke

    3. Diva
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      As you have the other two, I'll say Gabbiadini.

    4. Live Lad
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      GAbbi easily

    5. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Cheers all. Coin toss.

      tekkers

    7. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      You're getting rid of Gabbiadini before 2 consecutive DGWs?

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        No, he's selling someone else and can't decide between Benteke and Gabbi. 🙂

  3. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    How many double gameweek players are people going with for 36?

    1. Brian (Not the Messiah)
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      4-6

    2. Diva
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Looks like 5 for me.

    3. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Three. Sanchez, Monreal and Gabbiadini.

    4. greghammer95
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Sanchez, Yoshida, Gabbiadini, Possibly Arsenal Defender, Possible Stephens, Possibly JWP.

      3-6.

    5. BRFC1883
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Planning to have 5

    6. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      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.

    7. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      1

  4. Diva
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    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?

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      In all my seasons playing FPL I've never really paid attention to team value.

    2. Bushman
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      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.

      1. Diva
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        That is a nice core group of players.

    3. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      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.

      1. Diva
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        And I think you're doing well this year, so that does seem to be working for you.

        1. BananaNose Maldonado
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          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.

  5. greghammer95
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    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.

    1. Diva
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      The Tadic one is interesting. He could be a good differential for next week too.

      1. greghammer95
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Not too sure I'll be keeping him for next week yet as will be on the wildcard, much will depend on this.

  6. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Which is the better one week punt?

    Gabbiadini

    Afobe

    1. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Afobe for me

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        either way ill bring in Gabbiadini in WC next week

        1. liiusions
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          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

          1. BananaNose Maldonado
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            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.

    2. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Gabbiadini.

    3. greghammer95
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Gabbiafobe.

      Gabbiadini though, he's good.

      Gabb

    5. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Hull concede on the road... Gabbi
      King is the best Bournemouth option

  7. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Any interesting comments from Pep's presser about the possibility of Jesus starting?

  8. klavan
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    A) Pickford to Caballero
    B) Negredo to Gabbi and bench Zaha

    1. Diva
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      B

      1. klavan
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Sorry A) is Valdes to Caballero

        1. Diva
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Depends if you have another fit keeper?

          1. klavan
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Yep...Pickford

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      B

    3. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yo totally ruined others' judgement with the typo 🙂 A, you get 2 DGW keepers and no benching headache, play Zaha.

  9. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    bench one kaku zaha alexis ta

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Zaha, and swap Kaku to Jesus 😉

      1. Chucky
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        already on -4 😀

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          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)?

    2. greghammer95
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Tough decision, surely there's someone worse. From them it'd be Alexis if you have the balls.

  10. Hot shots member table
    Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    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

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Nice. Lazar Markovic leading the poll. I will be sure to bring him in.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        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.

        1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          I was taking the piss.

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            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.

        2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Fantastic resource though.

    2. Ruth_NZ
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      That's a very good table. One of the best I have seen for a while.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        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 🙂

      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      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

    4. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Bertrand instead of one of the other Southampton defenders

    5. tokara

      no united?

  14. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Gabbi, Alli, Eriksen, Lukaku, Sanchez, Tekkers or Hazard for the captaincy?

    1. Sancidino
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I am on Kane atm, but out of those maybe Tekkers

    Hazard Sanchez Eriksen Coutinho King
    Kane Gaddiadini Anichebe

    Please suggest !!

    1. Stinglikeabee
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Walker seems to get rotated. Maybe swap him with Vertoghen who will play every game

      1. McSlu
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        this! And yoshi for stephens if you have the cash

      2. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Huth fit's that rotation better than Walker/Vertoghen IMO.

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Looks good. It's vary similar to one of my drafts (I've got Huth, Yoshida and Alli instread of Walker, Stephens and Eriksen)

    3. Legohair
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Downgrade coutinho and upgrade anichebe maybe.

  18. SMOOTH

      Monreal

      Monreal, roll the dice on Gabriel if you're short of funds. Cech also looks pretty good value.

    4. c10™️ ⚽
      • 9 Years

      I think i am gng with Gabriel as i am short on funds just short of 0.1 to get monreal

  20. Russell

    De Bruyne a good player for this week?

    1. Diva
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      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.

      1. Russell
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers, that's exactly the plan

    2. Athletic Nasherbo

      Great differential

  21. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    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

    1. Live Lad

    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 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.

      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

    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.
