Our post-Gameweek members article assessing some of the top performers arrives once again this evening.
With many Fantasy managers now looking to wield Wildcards, we cast an eye over in-form and in-demand attackers and also assess some of the stand-out assets in defence ahead of Friday evening’s deadline.
I'd say no. You saw what Negredo did to city.
That first goal from Regreto was such a fluke, second goal just nerves catching up on Citeh defenders.
I wouldn't. I'm playing Tekkers!
Play Mawson or Baines? Or take a hit for a double gameweek defender? Price no barrier.
Depends on your other defenders, but I'd probably just play Baines
Cheers Chris!
I would probably get Monreal or play Baines, tough choice. Depends if you have any other Arsenal coverage or not, but would be good.
Tbh don't fancy Arsenal at all for this gameweek despite the doubles. I've got Sanchez in for Arnautovic because he would be highly owned and a lot of people would captain/TC him.
Baines for me
I want to double up on Chelsea defence for the remainder of the season. However, I think it's fairly safe to assume that John Terry will start in GWK38.
Who do we think is the most at risk of losing their place? Does Terry come in as a direct replacement for Cahill/Azpi, does Luiz drop out with Chelsea shifting to a flat back 4, or is it Moses dropping out with Azpi shifting to right wingback?
I'd say Luiz drops
this
Alonso. Look at the lesser cup games. He wasn't even on bench. He must he first up considering how many games he played
If the title is secured by that time, absolutely anyone could be dropped and there is no completely logical approach to it. My guess that not obly Terry, but also Ake could get his start in gw38 and that would mess everything up.
Been looking at this also. I think the wing backs are most due a rest because of their work up and down the line. Looking at the appearances of the regular Alonso and Moses have been rested more than anyone else.
Azpilicueta 39 (2)
Cahill 38
David Luiz 33
Moses 30 (5)
Alonso 30 (1)
I think it's likely Zouma, Terry and Ake will all see game time from now to end of season.
Cahill and no doubt (assuming the title is won). As captain this season i'd hope he'd volunteer it and even push for it...
Terry to play 70mins and Cahill to be on the pitch at the final whistle.
Thanks all. Judging by the replies it looks like doubling up on Chelsea is an expensive risk that's possibly best avoided. Maybe I just stick with Alonso and cross my fingers!
I'm leaning this way also. They have strong options for rotation so unless they have a nightmare in the next game or two they'll rotate.
Thoughts on this lot?
Jaku (Grant)
Yoshida, Brunt, Baines (Robertson, Friend)
Sanchez(C), Alli, King, Zaha (Davies)
Kane, Kun, Benteke
2 FT with £4.2m ITB. No WC, but BB GW 37.
A) Davies & Kun > Hazard & Jesus
B) Davies & Kun > Hazard & Costa
C) Benteke, Kun & Zaha > Jesus, Costa & Hazard (- 4)
D) Something else
Also need to replace Grant next week with either Pickford or Caballero. With Option C, its most likely going to be Pickford, because I can't do afford any price changes on Caballero. A or B would mean any goalkeeper (Cech, Courtois etc) with no hits, but no Costa.
Help appreciated.
C
Just saw you are BBing.. focus on getting a strong overall team of both bench and starting players.
Is it Trippier's spot now, Walker on the outter? Or, don't go there... 4.7 is tempting.
that's very tempting. Worth monitoring
Walker surely moving to City next season, which is why Pochetino getting his act right for the next season by playing Trippier I reckon.
Too risky, simply not worth the Spurs spot in a team, IMO.
Apparently Walker and Pochettino had a row and now Walker wants to leave the club. So it could work out, but its still risky though.
which arsenal defenders are nailed on for DGW ...
want the cheapest option to save funds - Gabriel - he is assured?
Koscielny and Monreal. Gabriel might play atleast a couple out of 4 in the 2 doubles.
I am not even sure about Monreal being nailed. I can see Gibbs playing 1 or 2
He was until his shocking display against Spurs. Definitely up for losing his spot to Bellerin now.
Probably only Cech is your best bet for an Arse defender, but at 5.3, that price is a bit awkward, especially for a keeper. But you'd think he'd play all of the 5 remaining matches.
Koscielny. Only Koscielny.
great - Koscielny it is - thanks all
On WC
A) Monreal, Cahill, Tadic, Costa
B) Koscielny, Alonso, Gabbi, Hazard
B miles ahead in my opinion
B because of Hazard ..
Yeah that's an easy 1 mate. B is all the right picks!
Apart from our FPL plans, is Alonso the reason for the Chelsea resurgence this season? They never looked back ever since he got those starts. Don't see any other player apart from him in the Chelsea ranks that would've given Conte the confidence to go 3 at the back. Him & Moses are the real heroes this season but way too underrated.
you are forgetting that this backline is over-protected by N'golo "the shield" Kanté
Wasn't he shielding the backline even during the horrible start of the season? Not taking away any credit from Kante though, love that little beast 🙂
I know many Chelsea fans (I am one myself) share the view that Alonso is our weak link. However, he suits the system well and most of his weaker performances haven't become talking points as we have still managed to win most of those games. I know Conte is looking for a new LWB, and I hope we get one. He is a decent PL player, but his weaknesses will get exposed a lot more in the CL.
Which one is better
A) Gabbi and Holgate + bench Sane
B) Anichebe and Cahill + play Sane
Cheers
B for sure
Who would you rather have in 37
Mawson(sun)
Chambers(SOU)
Holgate
Mawson because Sunderland are sheeet ..
He has a bit of a goal threat about him too, so currently on him. Though the home factor is also something to consider..
True plus the motivation to survive the relegation fight ..
Yeah Boro are most likely relegated after this week
Chambers personally.
Mawson
Mawson
Cheers people
So, final decision of WC, just cannot decide
1. Albrighton + Gabbi
2. Anichebe + Sane?
Easy peasy .. 2
That is a tough one. Perhaps 1, because you wrote it first.
I had the same dilema, settled wit 1. Gabbi has high ceiling and could bounce back after few blanks.
Anichebe is as bad as Sunderland as a whole.
1FT, 0.1 ITB, thoughts??
Courtois - Pickford
Monreal - Smith - Yoshida - Stephens - Holgate
Sanchez - Hazard - Eriksen - Sane - King
Kane - Gabbiadini - Anichebe
Save
Kroos and Modric never stop to impress me!
Even Asensio is a treat to watch 🙂
Ronnie looked fabulous yesterday, very energetic. He hasn't been himself past 2-3 months (same at the beginning of the season) but yesterday he was just immense. Probably bothered by some niggling injury/tiredness.

Cech
Alonso Cahill Monreal

2) KDB ➡ Sanchez and Captain Sanchez and Save TC for GW38
3) KDB ➡ Sanchez and TC Sanchez
4) Any other option?
1
Is it worth getting cech in for -4?
Keepers are Pickford and Hennessy and have bench boost for 37
I think yes
Yup
Sure.
Guys,
Best pick.. ?
a) Baines > monreal
b) Baines > Koscielny
Tnks
Play Baines
a
Sane or Eriksen?
(Money no issue, got Kane, Alli and Jesus)
Eriksen
Eriksen !
Is having both Cech and De Gea too much?
Cech & Cabellaro if you're gonna BB 37
Worth a -4, if I have BB?
Yes, I reckon
A. Jaku - Koscielny - Huth
B. Cech - Rano/Maguire - Fuchs
which better?
A

As part of my experience team:
a. Monreal and Cahill
or
b. Kosc and David Luis?

Is Monreal nailed on though?
A
Don't know where "experience" came from!? Meant to write "wildcard".
Don't worry, it happens a lot in my wildcard.

I'm liking the look of this WC, only issue is I've had to drop Eriksen for Pedro, but Chelsea have much tastier fixtures so I'm OK with that. Thoughts?
Willy Pickford
Alonso Kosc Vert Yoshida Stephens
Sanchez Hazard Sane Pedro King
Kane Jesus Anichebe
0.3 ITB
thanks
Going Eriksen-less might hurt you mate
Yeh I know, I've thought about it! Going Azpi/Gabriel over Alonso/Kosc might hurt too though!
Morning all!
Deadline getting closer....
Decisions not getting easier...
TC Allen and you'll be golden.
Triple captain long gone 😉
Mine too. Splurged up the wall on that ingrate Aguero.
Morning Andy, you streaming friday?
Thursday as deadline is 7pm Friday 🙂
TC Defoe ftw
My ML rival has Gabriel and Davies enabling him to get Costa. I have Vertonghen and Monreal. Should I downgrade them or stick?
Who is better attacking wise between Maguire & Ranocchia?
Maguire
Maguire is beast. Best 4.4 def out there imo
This
What are people's thoughts on Stones?
If he's back fit this weekend, will he be a starter from now on? He was nailed on during the first half of the season.
I hope he will get back next DGW
7 years, 1 month agoBenteke to Gabbi worth a -4 this week?
