Paul 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.
Would you start Oriol Romeu who has 2 fixtures (LIV, ARS) over any of the below players?
Ali, King, Hazard, Kane, Costa
Come on now. Don't be silly
😀
nope
No way
thanks
Probably not
@GFFN Breaking | AS Monaco have rejected an €85m offer from Manchester United for Kylian Mbappé, according to Gianluca di Marzio.
@GFFN AS Monaco have told Manchester United they want between €120m and €140m for Kylian Mbappé. (Gianluca di Marzio)
This would be a terrible move for Mbappe. Imagine would Mourinho would do to his confidence after a bad game.
Or he would back him completely and make him an integral part of team, despite his age... Ie. Rashford
Rashford has hardly been an integral part of their team this season.
He's made 47 appearances so far.. Jose trusts his talent and perhaps even more importantly his effort
The guy hasn't scored a league since September until recently. Barely been integral. He's been hung out to dry as well. Was it after WBA?
I think Mourinho is awful with young players. He is only interested in the here and now.
I'd have thought CIty a better prospect for him.
Mbappe should just stay at Monaco. Pep and Mourinho won't be here for the long term.
He's been a regular in the side berbs and been praised a lot more than most.. he gives 100% so the goal drought didn't bother Jose one bit
Started less than half the keague games.
Made 47 appearances
I get that. Just saying to me "integral" doesn't equate to less than 50% league games.
We have been operating in a lot more competitions than the league
I think that was more chance than design initially but eventually became the solution as Mkhitaryan hasn't gone too well and Mourinho clearly doesn't trust/rate Martial.
Mkhi been hot and cold but 10 goals so far considering the games he has missed isn't bad at all
Martial hasn't got the work rate of Rashford that's why Rashford gets the nod Jose said it himself pretty much.. give everything you have and he has no issue
I agree that out of the youngsters, he seems to trust Rashford, however that may be.
But the rest (Shaw, Martial, Fosu-Mensah, Tuanzebe etc) he clearly doesn't. His track record suggests Mbappe might fall into the latter category in my opinion
Shaw can't be trusted over keeping fit.. every manager he has worked under has had reservations about this despite his talent
Martial body language and lack of effort when things aren't going for him isn't going to help him with Jose
Fose Mensah should have certainly seen more minutes and Tuanzebe too in the early stages of cup competitions.. my only gripe with Mourinho is i feel he could have utilised the squad better and we are paying for it now tbh..
He certainly could've rotated a bit more but I don't think he trusts a few of them. On the striker note I think someone like Kane, Lukaku, Icardi or Belotti suits Mourinho's teams down to the ground. Bullish, strong, clinical, predators.
Yeah they are definitely Mourinho type centre forwards and they kind he has built his teams around.. the Zlatan injury means there will be an out and out striker purchased as well as a support striker imo
Don't usually read too much into rumours but this guy is one of the more reliable
Yeah Di Marzio worth listening to. Not a 100% record but gets good info.
Coutinho to ...?
A) Eriksen
B) Alli
C) Ozil
D) Tadic and Cech (-4)
E) Sane and Cech (-4)
F) Ozil for GW36 and Eriksen/Alli for GW37
Can't afford Cech with A, B or C.
He's probably fit for Southampton but I'd want A or B for sure.
E
Eriksen
This also is good.
While Messi keeps scoring in meaningless league games against minnow teams Ronaldo will keeo banging them in the champions league winning champions league and in international tournaments winning European championships with his country.
Truly the greatest footballer of all time BAR NONE!
Bar Noone?
Lol
I wouldn't consider Real Madrid to be a minnow team but fair enough
You think Craig Noone was that good?
Ffs you post more tripe than me.
I wouldn't go THAT far.
So the greatest footballer of all time BAR NONE plays for a minnow team. Is that what you're saying?
Takr your hate goggles and stick em where the sun don't shine.
Not hating anyone mate. I love Ronaldo as a player and a person. Seems like a genuinely nice guy who does lots of charitable work and is an absolutely incredible footballer. I just think Messi is better.
didnt know Josh King had no hands
😀
glovely
lolz wonder how much scrolling this has caused. Fair play lad.
Price Changes - 3rd May 2017
🔼 Yoshida, Kane, Sané
🔽 Batshuayi, Oviedo, Leadbitter, Obiang, McGee
Bummer. No change Jesus Sanchez Coutinho means I could've waited another day *sigh*
3 up, like everyone here I'm sure!
1 up Kane
2 up
thanks, tm
+2
Another day before Jesus to rise then.
No one even has any of those guys who went down lmao
Not even the guys that went down have themselves in fantasy
RP
How many Spurs players do you need for the remaining games?
1, 2 or 3.
Bear in mind there are some teams with 5 games left and their DGW37 isn't the kindest.
2
This is the right answer.
Mark will tell you 3 in the Scoutcast.
What will you tell me, TM?
I think 2 max.
Watch the Scoutcast later.
Sounds cryptic ...
And then he will have 0 on his WC and try to justify it next week 😉
I hacked his team earlier today. 3 still there.
2 minimum.
3
3 for me.
We all know that top mids are Alli and Eriksen, but will Son deliver too? What do you think?
3 but not all attackers.
Defender + Eriksen/Alli & Kane
VIPER, can you answer me what's your opinion about my WC squad (3 posts below)? Thanks
Mark won't let Son of a gun troll him twice in one season. Lol
I plan on keeping kane eriksen and ali.
All three in flying form, in a title race and enjoying thier football.
Why would you get rid if you got them at cheaper prices?
Has King got no arms?
Wow
🙂
Don't worry, he's armless.
I've seen people yellow-flagged for less.
Anyone got news on Bailly?
His first name is Eric
That would be information, not news. Dick
Still 3
😀
Facially whats the most attractive part of a female or what do you look at?
For me its lips and smile. Gotta have nice lucious lips with a wide smile.
Is that before or after you blow the doll up?
Aaaammmm ... no
The boobs
Not to give too much away to non-members but, is anyone else surprised by Erikens avg. position here?
cmon, throw a crumb to us filthy non paying proles!
Can't be further up than Alli I guess...
Please tell me it is surprisingly deep? I have just about convinced myself to go Pedro over him in the WC and this would help.
Thanks
I could't say but, I'd be going for Eriksen...I know Pedro scored this week but...
Which would you prefer?
A) Eriksen, Azpi, Gabriel
B) Pedro, Alonso, Kosc
Chelsea fixtures tastier than Spurs too...
Own Sanchez/Hazard/Costa?
Rest of team:
Pickford Willy
Vert Yoshi Stephens X X
Sanchez Haz Sane King X
Kane Jesus Anichebe
Nice team. Eriksen Alonso Gabriel? Slight risk on Gabriel but Wenger has been singing his praises
Thanks, 0.2 short on that unfortunately - that's why I'd need Azpi instead of Alonso - tough!
Damn yea I'd probably go for A then!
Thanks for your help 🙂 I may have found a way around it which would mean SAne > Pedro instead of Eriksen > Pedro, leaving me with:
Pickford Willy
Cahill Monreal Vertonghen Stephens Holgate
Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Pedro King
Kane Jesus Anichebe
What do you reckon??
I think Sane and Pedro are equally at risk of rotation BUT, can you upgrade King to Sane by dowgrading defenders>?
I think King will have to stay so it's a question of Sane or Pedro now haha.
A) Sane Azpi Gabriel Yoshi
B) Pedro Cahill Monreal Holgate
Forgot to mention, probably a key point is whether you're chasing or fending off?
fending off, only 3 points in it!
Are people going without any Man U for the doubles?
o/
Might go for Rashford. Other than that then DDG appears the best option, although Utds DGW isn't particularly favourable.
Planning for the DGW37?
Bear this in mind:
Gaps between matches:
LEI - 5 days
SOT, TOT & WBA - 4 days
ARS, CHE, MCI, MUN, SUN & WAT - 3 days
Id feel scared to have anyone like Pedro because i can see willian coming in, same with aguero for Jesus
What I like about Jesus is that he is a potentially explosive threat off the bench as well as starting.
Thanks - really useful stuff.
Still, all of the clubs with something still to play for are in 3 day category with the exception of Spurs.
We probably need to manage our expectations In terms of widespread rotation (even by normal dgw standards).
I think rotation is a lottery at this time.
My thoughts are to accept rotation as it will affect everyone.
The only players I feel are nailed are possible keepers, Sanchez and probable Hazard.
Let us hope Chelsea and Spurs with fighting for 4th place carries on to the last game of the season.

Kane - Jesus - (Costa / Anichebe / Barnes / Gabbi)
Aaron Lennon health fears as Everton winger is detained under Mental Health Act | @MikeKeegan_DM https://t.co/AlRqZLwiwh
Sad news this.
That's awful...
Man, wishing him all the best.
Let's hope he gets the help he needs and press leave him alone. Many great memories of him at the Lane.
Get well soon lad
Koscielny worth the extra 0.3 over Monreal?
If you can afford it I would do it.
Cheers.
Yes. Assured to start all of the games.
I'm seeing plenty of love for Sane but non for Pedro.
Hard to see two more similar picks...each one very slightly not nailed on but Pedro scoring more PPG than Sane and for cheaper.
Sane better fixtures
City will probably score more goals
Agree both likely to be rotated though
I think people are maybe under-rating Arsenal assets a little. You are getting 4 games with 2 DGWs with their players instead of 3 games and only with 1 DGWs with all the rest (apart from Southampton players) don't forget.
Granted I haven't got my wildcard left but my two transfers in this week are Ozil and Koscienly who will be in my team alongside Sanchez. Think there's big potential for all three of them to score big points from now to the end of the season.
Fixtures look really good:
Man United (H) - Plenty of injury problems at United and this game is in between the two legs of their Europa League semi-final which may prove to be their main priority. Their goal threat is seriously reduced without Ibra and a lot of injuries in defense.
Southampton (A) - Hard to judge with this saints team but they won easily at St.Mary's in the FA Cup earlier in the season.
Stoke (A) - Always seems to be a fiesty fixture but Stoke have nothing to play for.
Sunderland (H) - Couldn't ask for a better fixture up against the worst side in the division at home who are already relegated.
Everton (H) - Could need to win this to make top four depending on results.
Just a little food for thought, maybe I'm crazy but I would say tripling up on Arsenal may prove to be the safer and better option over Spurs (more difficult fixtures), Chelsea (potential for rotation if already won league) and Man City (not entirely sure of certain starters)
Ozil is a dog. Looks awful.
Looks like his mind is elsewhere to me.
A reason I'll have Gabriel/Monreal/Sanchez this week. Cheers.
Those buggers actually started the Scoutcast on time for once
Messi fan girls 😆
My 5 defenders are:
Valencia bellerin walker yoshida Robertson
Will the first 3 play all games? What transfers would be best for remaining games? Ideas plz
All 3 might not play. Blind, Monreal, Vertonghen, Alonso, Cahill, Stephens all better options.
Extremely doubtful - agree with all of the Wizard of Ozil's suggestions.
Unlikely
Valencia in for Alonso
other way around... Alonso in for Valencia
Benteke owners are we keeping (wildcarders need not bother)?
Chances are palace will be safe by 38 and man u are favs to beat Vigo, can see a very weak man u line up on the final day.
Also tekkers has a decent away record and HULL inbetween.
Dispose
Hes gone
I might
Holding..nice differential..
Keeping, benching this week and playing in 37/38, although could play him this week with AOA but that would mean choosing two from Yoshida Gabriel Alonso Vertonghan
The temptation was to move him out for Gabbi and that's still an option for 37 I guess
Play Sane or King?
King, always.
People who are going with Anichebe as the enabler, dont you think Barnes is a better option?
Anichebe has two games
2 fixtures means 4 pointer guaranteed mostly, a goal or an assist would be like a cherry on the top. Most importantly he's dirt cheap, helps you flex your arms elsewhere for the big guys.

If you still think Messi is better than Ronaldo then you seriously don't know your football.
or maybe you just don't know yours?
Debatable. Think you just need to sit back and realise they are both the 2 greatest of all time.
The great thing about football is no-one is entitled to their own opinion.
Why does one have to be better than the other?...I've never understood why folk need to do that.
The fact is the pair of them are amongst the greatest players ever to play the game....and that's a fact.
They're the two best ever by a stretch.. i give Ronnie the edge as he has absolutley dominated two different leagues and has led his country against all odds to glory also.. If people think Messi then fair enough but yet to see a valid argument other than crap like Messi isn't human and Messi is on another level which actually doesn't make sense in any way.. come at me with a decent argument and i'll listen all day..
Forgot to add that you support United*
Ronnie will always have a special place in my heart that i can't deny..
I just see two different sorts of players playing for different sorts of teams...and they're both fantastic.
I'd probably agree they're the best two ever....in fact they're records speak for themselves.
We are blessed really
His country won the tournament without him though. They also finished 3rd in their table in some dodgy qualifying crap.
They would have been watching the tournament in their armchairs at home without him
Yeah, but he didn't win it for them. He wasn't there.
He was manager mate
😀
😀 Fair point
🙂
Yep, definitely the 2 best ever. I do think Messi is a significant distance ahead of him though, has so much to his game. Does things that no one can do with the ball. What a goalscorer Ronnie is though!
Don't like the leading his country to glory argument, he wasn't even at his greatest in the Euros and the format was shoite.
He was their top scorer in qualification and in the tournament mate.. wasn't at his blistering best he's 32 remember and slowing down a touch.. makes it all the more remarkable he is still banging in hat tricks left right and centre against the best of the best at CL level
Of course of course. Fantastic player.
I commend your trolling. 😀
Lukaku once scored 4.
Lol
It was kinda funny the 1st time.
Sit back and enjoy while it lasts.
Messi is superior as a footballer and history will write that no one can change it. Cristiano is lethal and has incredible phyisical attributes but no comparison should be made between the two as footballers as messi is on another level.
Actually as things stand history will write that Ronaldo achieved greatness with two different teams in two very different leagues and on the international stage.. they play at the same level.. Messi is easier on the eye on the pitch these days i'll accept that but there is a lot more to it than that and the whole "another level" business i find staggering tbh.. Messi hasn't achieved anything in the game that Ronaldo hasn't
Called goal on that shot before he even kicked it. Ronaldo puts in a ball set up that well every day of the week. Clinical as always.
He's made look good cause he never has to play against Tom Heaton.
Where's your proof about calling it?
Busted! 😮
