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.
Lukaku & Zaha -> Gabb & (Haz/KdB/Sterling)
If you've a WC I wouldn't be selling either this GW. If your pushed with price rises then Gabbi & Hazard.
£8.6m for a one week punt on a striker...
Negredo ->
A) Jesus
B) Gabbi
C) Benteke (cover rival)
A
B. I don't think Jesus will start yet
B, Jesus wont start, should get minutes
B) Garibaldi (as I call him)
Cech, Pickford
Alonso, Yoshida, Gabriel, Holgate, Stephens
Alli, Eriksen, Hazard, Sanchez, King
Kane, Costa, Gabbi
Considering as WC, any suggestions.
Front 8 looks like some difficult decisions on who to bench. Pretty solid BB37 team though.
Template, not that its a bad thing
No issues. V nice team.
2FT / 0.3ITB / WC / BB / TC
Pickford (Heaton)
Alonso / Chambers / Yoshida (Davies / Amat)
Sanchez / Alli / Sigurdsson / King (Ward-Prowse)
Kane (C) / Lukaku (V) / Benteke
To: 1.3ITB / BB / TC
Cabellero (Pickford)
Alonso / Monreal / Bailly (Yoshida / Benalouane)
Hazard / Eriksen / Coutinho / Sane / King
Kane / Benteke (Barnes)
Yes or no or tinker?
Tinker more. Benalouane might not start with Morgan's return, and I think you can do better with that front line.
Ta, back to the drawing board... Anybody that's essential?
Barnes out
Bena out
Monreal out
Coutihno out
Sanchez in
Man City attack in
How abouts: 0.2 ITB / BB / TC
Cabellero / Jakupovic
Alonso / Bailly / Yosida / Maguire / Holgate
Sanchez / Hazard / Sane / King / Carroll
Kane / Jesus / Benteke
United don't have the greatest fixtures, could you switch Bailly/Maguire to 2 DGW players with better chances of a CS? Could also save money with Benteke > Gabbi
On a WC
A) Eriksen + Costa
B) Hazard + Jesus
ML rival has Hazard..
can i please get some advice, been asking all week
cech pickford
alonso bailly gabriel yoshida holgate
sanchez hazard alli eriksen sane
kane gab anichebe
0.0 in bank
A. WC 35 and get this team
B. WC 36, get more info, but downgrade someone for the impending price rises.
B.
B, if you already used one of BB/TC. A if not.
Thoughts on new Gorillaz album?
Crap
Not listened yet, but damn new Kendrick Lamar album is so good
There is a new album? thanks for the news!
Just Heard their new song "The Apprentice"
Horrible, nothing like Feel Good Inc.
I know what you mean about their earlier stuff which was brilliant.
Quite liking The Apprentice after a few listens though.
Best album he/they made was Plastic Beach imo
Last draft of WC. GTG?
Cech Pickford
Blind Gabriel Yoshida Stephens Holgate
Sanchez Hazard Alli Eriksen King
Kane Costa Gabbi
Strong Transfer value, at least £4m higher than mine
Cheers. 108 TV.
Good luck getting consistent points there in your defence.
Any ideas on how to beef it?
Btw, I will try to keep 2FT for GW37 if there is major repairs needed to be done.
You can either do:
Downgrade Cech to Caballero.
Downgrade Eriksen/Alli
Downgrade Gabbiadini to Anichebe.
Defenders to get: Vertonghen, Monreal, Huth, maybe Stones. Id change Blind and Wouldn't double up on Saints.
Downgrade Alli or Eriksen? Or Kane?
dont think you can go with that backline for the res tof the season and theres such little value there it will be hard to switch
Looks good. Suppose it's Costa v a Spurs def?
Don't you fancy Spurs def now?
Which Spurs asset to be replaced?
a) Ibra -> Aguero
b) Ibra -> Gabbi
c) Ibra + Son -> Gabbi + Hazard -4 (ML Rival is on Hazard but not Son and i'd like to hedge)
Long time lurker, finally registered:
How essential is Sanchez? Going with Ozil instead allows me:
Afobe -> Gabbiadini
Jesus -> Vardy (for GW36 and then switch back for GW37 BB)
£4.5m def -> Daniels
Also, which option is best?
A) Gabbidini, Gabriel
B) Afobe, Monreal/Bailly (no Arsenal def if Bailly)
I really like Ozil for the run in. A good, brave pick go with it.
I understand the fear of not owning Sanchez, sure he is capable of huge returns but realistically this drought could last until the end of the season.
Or his class will shine through and he'll tear it up
He's scored twice in his last three (inc Cup semi) hardly a drought tbf.
Depends where he plays, for £11.4m he is very much like Aguero, just not worth the price regardless of his calibre.
Also stuck in the sanchez debate so I can't help you there.
A
Thanks
How's this WC looking?
Pick Cabellaro
Alonso Bailly Gabriel Yosh Holgate
KDB Haz Erik Cout Carroll
Kane Gabbi Benteke
£1.9m bank
That bank gives enough for Benteke>Jesus or Cout/Gabbi>King/Jesus depending on form over next 1-2 GWs.
KDB is a punt over Sanchez/Ozil as current rank of 115K needs a differential boost - worth it?
KdB has been awful for 3 months... not worth the cash. Get Ozil as a differential, but id stick with Sanchez
OK, final draft, who scores more?
A) Ozil, Monreal, Vertonghen, Evans (TC Ozil/Gabbiadini GW36)
B) Sanchez, Gabriel, Stephens, Brunt (TC Sanchez GW36)
In scenario B Stephens would only play in GW37, with Brunt playing the next 2. In scenario A Vertonghen plays regardless.
B
Thanks. Could Ozil realistically be expected to match or outscore Sanchez? He's been consistent of late.
I'd just play safe and go Sanchez
Alli or Eriksen?
Eriksen with Kane. Both if not Kane.
I want both. I've always preferred Eriksen.
Nobody knows, flip a coin. I've gone Eriksen because I need the extra 0.3.
Alli high ownership, Eriksen in form. So, both. Haha.
Eriksen tbh. But, played with the risk of Alli goes big in any gw.
Erikson, though Alli will be very up for the last ever derby at White Hart Lane
Eriksen has the stats, Alli has the ownership - depends if you're chasing or maintaining a lead.
Not considered ownership, good point
Got both. I just can't lose one of them for Kane. Look at their returns - it's frightening!
Are you Kaneless then? Not considered that option
Yep. I could take a hit to bring in Kane for Lukaka but it would mean losing Alli. I just don't know if Kane is worth 2m more than Alli.
I also like the idea of doing Lukaku > Jesus this week.
Interesting tactic, I might consider...good luck
Cheers all
Tricky one
song and negredo for ali and afobe....have exact cash
Song?! But yes.
taking out song and negredo for ali and afobe....sozz
I presume you're still mistyping Son...
Anyone tempted by Alli(c) vs Arsenal?
My thinking is that Arsenal don't have a DM that will track him, and he'll be a threat at the far post.
No.
😀 naturally
Who you going with? Kane? 😉
Kane or Jesus if I bring him for a hit
Also, Coutinho is a good option
I just sold him for Hazard. was planning to do it next week but wouldn't be able to afford with Hazard rising and Alli dropping
Big balls, WR. Do you expect him to dry up or just prefer Eriksen and Kane?
I've only got Kane now. I don't think he will dry up but Chelsea have much better fixtures
I am thinking to do the same, but for the next GW
Line up suggestions:
Jaku
Alonso Pieters Davies
Sanchez Ward-Prowse Zaha Son
Gabbi Aguero Lukaku
Foster Gabriel Robertson Stanislas
On Wildcard. Unsure who to bench (or captain) for GW35. Current line-up is as follows:
Caballero
Alonso / Vertonghen / Stephens
Sanchez / Hazard / Eriksen / King
Kane / Benteke / Gabbiadini
Bench: Pickford / 1.Sane / 2. Monreal / 3. Holgate
- If your advice is to bench Benteke, should I just include Jesus in my WC team instead? I plan to do Benteke > Jesus next week anyway.
- If you agree with the above I will probably take a 1 week punt on Coutinho, then bring in Sanchez for him next week.
- If you wouldn't bench Benteke, should I play Sane over Sanchez/Eriksen?
- Should I play Monreal over Stephens?
Eriksen or Sane?
Cech or Caballero?
Already have Kane, Alli, and Monreal.
erik and cabel
No wildcard so this decision will likely stand for the rest of the season....
A) Sanchez
or
B) Hazard
Thanks
Sanchez only because he has 1 more game. I feel you have got to have both though...
My TV is too low to have both 🙁
What about Ozil and Hazard vs Sane and Sanchez?
Out of the 4 Arsenal games over 2 GWs how many do we think each of these will play?
A) Koscielny
B) Monreal
C) Gabriel
It's a very tricky one, there are lots of moving parts: injuries, potential formation changes, Mustafi coming back from injury, Holding on the periphery, Gibbs as cover for Monreal.... I think 3 each.
I think Kosc might play all...
He is injured now, but yes, he is the most likely to play 4. If they stick to 3 at the back Gabriel may also. Gibbs might get a few games but Mustafi should be back GW37, so if they stick to 3 at the back it will probably be Kosc, Mustafi, Gabriel with Monreal/Gibbs and Bellerin/Ox at full back. Holding could come in for any of those 3, I'd guess Mustafi is most likely as he will be rusty.
Yeah!
Ox to start ahead Bellerin in my opinion...but I am thinking of picking Gabriel has he is a cheaper route into their defence, and if he even misses one match won't hurt that much
I need to take Gabriel if Hazard rises before the deadline, or I cannot afford him (No WC) just trying to work out the risk of owning him. Unlikely to have a choice.
Yup, seems Hazard will rise tonight!
I think they might all play all of them.
I suspect Gabriel will also play all three.
There are 4, but read my response to Moin. Gibbs (pushing Monreal to LCB) or Holding can threaten any of the CBs after Mustafi is back. Gabriel is 3rd choice.
If they change to 2 at the back Gabriel is out if Mustafi is fit.
Depends on the system/formation too.
.. as you pointed out 🙂
Yeah, two at the back puts Gabriel at risk if Mustafi is back. I think both full backs are a risk regardless, with Ox/Bellerin and Monreal/Gibbs sharing minutes
Albrighton or JWP?
JWP
Prowsey
Both rotation risks, Albrighton probably more dangerous. Slimani is back now too I think, should improve his output. But D Gray will get some games in his place between now and the end.
Good point. Trying to fit in a decent 5th midfielder. Not many to choose from
Jimmy
Cheers lads
Bottomed
GTG?
Foster
Alonso Valencia Davies
Haz zaha king alli
Kane kaku Kun (C)
Jaku: holebas de roon jones
Thanks for the replies a few pages ago guys. Just back online so only just saw them..cheers
With both rotation risks in some teams and the fact some of the usual suspects for captaincy have somewhat difficult games, I thought I would look at how a bookie viewed the weekend's games and priced the different candidates.
A lot of teams are WC'ing this week and a lot of teams are WC'ing next week and are looking for a one week punt.
I've included the names I have seen in a lot of teams (both WC and not) + a few outsiders that I don't expect a lot of people to have, but could be worth a punt.
I've listed each match with odds each of home win, draw, away win + the most likely results in order. Then I've listed popular picks and the odds to score anytime.
Southampton v. Hull: 1.66/ 4.00/ 5.75
Most likely results: 1-1, 1-0, 2-0/2-1
Gabbi 2.05
Redmond 2.60
JWP 3.25
Stoke v. West Ham: 2.10/ 3.50/ 3.75
Most likely results: 1-1, 1-0, 2-1, 0-0, 2-0
Crouch 2.50
Bony 2.50
Berahino 2.75
Walters 2.87
Arnautovic 2.87
Sunderland v. Bournemouth: 3.00/ 3.60/ 2.40
Most likely results: 1-1, 1-2, 0-1, 2-1
Defoe 1.95
Afobe 2.40
King 2.60
Anichebe 3.25
WBA v. Leicester: 2.62/ 3.30/ 2.90
Most likely results: 1-1, 1-0, 0-0/0-1, 2-1
Vardy 2.50
Rondon 2.50
Mahrez 3.60
Crystal Palace v. Burnley: 1.80/ 5.00/ 9.00
Most likely results: 1-0, 1-1, 2-0, 0-0, 2-1
Benteke 2.20
Zaha 3.25
Townsend 3.50
Gray 3.50
Manchester United v. Swansea: 1.40/ 5.00/ 9.00
Most likely results: 2-0, 1-0, 2-1/3-0, 1-1, 0-0
Rashford 2.20
Martial 2.37
Mkhi 2.50
Llorente 4.33
Siggy 4.75
Everton v. Chelsea: 3.80/ 3.60/ 2.05
Most likely results: 1-1, 0-1, 1-2, 0-2, 0-0
Costa 1.83
Lukaku 2.20
Hazard 2.62
Pedro 3.20
Middlesbrough v. Manchester City: 11.00/ 6.00/ 1.30
Most likely results: 0-2, 0-1/0-3, 1-2
Aguero 1.57
Gabriel Jesus 1.83
Sané 2.25
KDB 2.75
Negredo 3.50
De Roon 9.00 😉
Tottenham v. Arsenal: 1.85/ 4.00/ 4.20
Most likely results: 1-1, 2-1, 1-0, 2-0, 2-2/3-1
Kane 1.72
Son 2.10
Alli 2.30
Sanchez 2.40
Eriksen 2.75
Watford v. Liverpool: 6.50/ 4.50/ 1.53
Most likely results: 0-2, 0-1, 1-1/1-2, 0-3, 0-0/1-3
Origi 2.25
Firmino 2.25
Coutinho 2.60
Deeney 3.60
Obviously this isn't a straight go-to guide on who to captain. It doesn't factor in assists, extra point for midfielder goals, CS points and a lot of other things. The bookie also doesn't factor in the chance of playing properly in my opinion, as some of the above are more of a rotation risk than others.
This can also be seen by the relatively low odds to score on the following players:
Iheanacho 1.83
Austin 1.9
Batshuayi 1.90
Sturridge 1.95
Janssen 2.30
Personally I like to use a bookie to get an idea on how they view the match in general and the different candidates and I sometimes use it as an inspiration on deciding my XI or captaincy.
I won't draw any conclusions, but I thought I would share it now that I had done most the work.
Good luck to everyone and may green arrows come your way 🙂
Look, Leo Tolstoy here
Haha yeah sorry about the long post. But fitting in a lot of numbers and names, so hard to shorten it down too much without becoming biased 😉
Can you repeat that?
Repost, My team:
Pickford - Jakupovic;
Davies - Yoshida - Fuchs - Pieters - Mawson;
King - Zaha - Alli - Sigurdsson - Shaqiri;
Kane - Aguero - Lukaku
1) Save FT (0.5m ITB).
2) Get a United defender.
3) Any other suggestion.
Any ideas of what to do with this lot?
Heaton
Valencia-Yoshida
Eriksen-Alli-King-JWP-Sanchez
Kane-Rashford-Benteke
Bench: Randolph-Chambers-Holgate-Mustafi
FPL Virgin in need
Have you still got WC? Is this just for this week?
No WC left, unfortunately
Thinking of this:
GW35: Heaton+Valencia->Caballero+Balliy (-4)
GW36: Alli/Eriksen+Chambers -> Hazard+Verthongen (-4)
GW37: Randolph->Pickford
And then BB in 37 with 12DGW's....Is -8 to much? And what to do with Mustafi?
negredo and son out for ali and afobe....exact cash to do it
Sounds ok, not getting me super excited.
Who would you most want for this week only and why?
A) Jesus (mid)
B) Gabbi (HUL)
C) Arnautovic (WHU)
D) Sane (mid)
E) King (sun)
King, Gabbi, Sane in that order.
This ^
Cheers. One more question on the next page to help my decision
C because I think he will score well this week
Front 8..
Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen, Firmino, King
Lukaku, Gabbi, Rashford
Sanchez on the bench and King captain?
Never bench Sanchez!
