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.

    No WC left and chasing about 30p behind in my ML. What to do with this lot?

    Caballero
    Holgate-Bailly-Yoshida
    Eriksen-Alli-Sanchez-King
    Kane-Jesus-Rashford

    Randolph-Chambers-Mustafi-JWP

    0FT, 3,3ITB

    Do I take a hit to get Hazard?

    And who goes? (nobody in my ML has either Alexis or Hazard)

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Alli/Eriksen

      Lose Alli over Erekson for me. Not easy losing any

      1. Olee
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I agree...Alli leaves more cash to free up in defense though. And Eriksen might be in sligthly better form.
        Any ideas who to swap for Chambers?

        Thanks lads!

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 17 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Yer although Mustafi has been terrible so even if he's back he may well have lost his place. I think Gabriel is probably likely to play all the games now regardless of what people are saying. Poor last game but been good till then

          1. Olee
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Say im chasing 30p behind, is it to risky to do Alli+Mustafi->Hazard+Verts for -8 if i know my ML leader will do -4 himself?

            That would free up -4 for Chambers+Randolph -> Pickford+5.1def next week, like maybe Gabriel.

            Will cost -12 total though. But I feel like i have to gamble.

              Tough one because when you playing catch up it's not a good idea giving your rival free points. I do like the moves though . Go with instinct mate. Not as many regrets then

              1. Olee
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 2 months ago

                Its risky. But my rival will do -4 at least this week, which makes it effectivly -8. And he does not have Eriksen, Sanchez or Hazard...so potentially big diffs. Thats why i might drop Alli, and keep Eriksen, big diff in my ML's.

                Plan was to save Mustafi and save 4p that way...but if he isnt certain if fit in 37, its a risk.

                9 years, 2 months ago

                Thanks alot for the input btw mate! 🙂

                  • 17 Years
                  9 years, 2 months ago

                  No probs mate 🙂

                • 9 Years
                9 years, 2 months ago

                Just realised he has 7sgw players atm. If i do the moses I will only have 2. Both have Bb left, nobody has WC. Does that make the risk more worth it in your opinion?

                Cheers!

                  9 years, 2 months ago

                  Go for it . You bringing in 2 players that will score well I'm sure. Good.luck hope you do it

    Do we think Hazard could be rested in 37??

      Nah

      if its not wrapped up no chance

  3. Budweiser
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Start Vertonghen, Yoshida or Stephens?

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Vert

    2. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yoshida

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'm starting yosh and verts

  4. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Got to be Forster as Saints defensive pick hasn't it ?...I really can't see a CS this week and the alternative for defenders from other teams look better than Yoshida's CS prospects...

    Surely it's save pts we need to be going for with the same outside prospect of a CS as Yoshida as well.

    1. UnitedFan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I agree. I actually don't fancy any Soton at all. I'm only going with one DGWer this week. Sanchez

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      11 save points all season.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Really?...crikey...

        Nonetheless he has the same CS potential as Yoshida but with the added bonus of potential save pts against Pool and Arsenal...surely he's the better pick...

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Yoshida should have got an assist last week and recently scored.

  5. UnitedFan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Any news on Aguero?

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Hoping it's a dead leg like most sites are claiming. Scan tomorrow apparently.. real kick in teeth after bringing him in with my wc last gw. Typical

      1. Peter Russo
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        its a groin no?

  6. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Keep Eriksen (8.7) or Alli (9.1) on wildcard?

    1. UnitedFan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Eriksen

    2. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Alli

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Erekson..

    4. MTPockets

      1. Hansel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        Thanks guys. MTPOCKETS you should probably check your link, can't see any Erik in your team

  7. Judas
    • 13 Years

    Will Wes Morgan be back at any time soon?

    Looking at Benalouane for £4.0m, could be a bargain

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He was nearly ready last week.

  8. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Cech Caballero
    Alonso Huth Gabriel Yoshida Stephens
    Hazard Alexis Eriksen Pedro King
    Kane Jesus Anichibe

    Think this is my final team, yeah right!

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Like it.

        These 3 GWs can be random so my current rank is the minimum goal even with BB.

    Lads, what's the latest news on bailly's injury?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Presser Wednesday.

  12. EWH2020
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Please help me decide

    A) Courtois, Azpi
    B) Cech, Alonso

    1. Knowledgeable meerkat
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      B comfortably for me

    2. UnitedFan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      B

    3. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B easily

    4. Gooner97

      B

  13. Tomcooper9

    Sane or Pedro?

    1. UnitedFan

      Sane

    2. Garfield1001
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Would like to know the answer to this!

      If Pedro was secured of starts I would almost certainly go with him

    3. Knowledgeable meerkat
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sane I'd say

  14. Donblaster
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Zaha, Coutinho & Lukaku to Hazard, Ozil & Jesus (-8)?

    1. Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yep

    Opinions appreciated on this wildcard team, £0.2m ITB:

    Caballero Pickford
    Alonso Vertonghen Monreal Yoshida Stephens
    Sanchez Alli Hazard King Sane
    Kane Jesus Anichebe

    Thanks!

    1. UnitedFan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Good team. I'd go Holgate over Stephens

    2. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I have a similiar idea with going big for the defence. You think Monreal + Anichebe is better than Gabbiandini and a cheap def?

  16. Pinky Blinders
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Last season I opted to BB in DGW 34 and my buddy opted to go TC on Sanchez instead that week. He got 3 goals in DGW 34, something like 80+ points. I did pretty well too with my BB but I was amazed to see that kind of score for a single player.

    1. UnitedFan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I TC'ed him that week too. Got 75 points off him, contributing to my highest GW score ever, 147 points 😎

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      If you had the same captain, the TC was 25/26.

      1. Pinky Blinders
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        True, don't remember if I did or not. I do recall blowing my TC on Lukaku the week before. Maybe that's partially what fed my amazement

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Aguero and Sanchez got roughly the same score and you probably had one of them.

    3. That Was Easy!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Totally different Sanchez than is playing right now, or I wouldn't even think about BBing this week!

      Crazy to think how many points you can get from these chips if you just hit it right out of dumb luck (single GW 20+ haul or something)

  17. That Was Easy!
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    TM, I see you commenting on people's post considering BB that it'll likely yield 12-5 points even given the doubles. You may well be right, just wondering what you're hoping your bench to be for 37 and expected points.

    Hard to see there being 20 points in any bench left anymore.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'll probably supersize my bench for a hit next GW. One CS from a defender and you start getting close to 20.

      1. That Was Easy!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        What about something along the lines of Eriksen > Sane and Gabriel > Cahill for a (-4)?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Eriksen could beat Sane but like the 2nd one.

        2. That Was Easy!
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Or alternatively, Holgate > Kompany and Eriksen > Pedro?

          1. That Was Easy!
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Gives me an extra game, would mean a bench of Pickford, Gabriel, Stephens, Kompany

          2. TorresMagic™
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 17 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            All about the outs and ins when BBing. Holgate could outscore Gabriel in 37.

            1. That Was Easy!
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              I guess I'm just asking questions that are tough to answer at this point. Perhaps the value in TC this week or 38 is the information I'll get over a week to optimize BB

              1. TorresMagic™
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 17 Years
                9 years, 2 months ago

                Bottom line is you need to find the optimal total from the 3 choices.

                a) GW36 captain + GW37 or GW38 BB
                b) GW37 captain + GW36 or GW38 BB
                c) GW38 captain + GW36 or GW37 BB

                Think GW37 has to be part of that.

      I had 33 on the bench last game week. I used AOA though.... Rough.

  18. Knowledgeable meerkat
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    your choice folks:

    A) Bailly > Monreal -4

    B) Gibson > Gabriel -4

    C) avoid Arsenal defence and save 4 points

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      A

  19. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    I'm seeing Pedro and Sane but why no Son love?

    1. Knowledgeable meerkat
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Can't help but feel like he's had his usual 3 game spree and will fade away now. Plus sane has the form and fixtures. Eriksen/Alli and Kane is enough Spurs for me

    2. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      (looks at team again)

      You're right...Son, Pedro, Sane...all in the same boat...

    So most on here using their TC on Sanchez this gw right??

      • 11 Years

      I'd reckon so. Contemplating BB this week for a 37 TC, but not sure it's the route.

    Anyone going Jesus (CRY) or Hazard (MID) over Sanchez (MUN, sou) for the captaincy?

      Nope

      Nobut not the worst idea.

  23. Gooner97

    Play 3

    Yoshida, Alonso, Vertonghen, Monreal, Stephens.

    1. UnitedFan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Alonso, Vertonghen, Monreal

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years

        No Saints do you reckon?

      Hard benching 2 dgw players.

      I'd play yoshi monreal and toss a coin for verts or alonso

    Chances of Costa outscoring Kane for the remainder of the season ? Surely a possibility with those Chelsea fixtures !

    I'm very tempted to go with Alli, Eriksen, Hazard & Costa. Opting for Kane would mean downgrading one of Alli/Eriksen to Sane or Monreal to Gabriel. Really want to avoid players who aren't nailed ! Any thoughts ?

    1. Rains of Castamere
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Could work out well. Not many will captain Kane in 36-38 either

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Valid point re captaincy, just think Spurs fixtures could potentially prove tricky after WH despite their form.

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years

      Brave. If your chasing and nothing to lose then go for it. I'd advise against it if you have a lot to play for. Harry most essential out of spurs

        Mini league rival chasing me has Costa, leader a little way in front of me will be bringing in Kane this week, probably not the differential to punt on though is it haha.

  25. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    A Gabriel, Cahill, Ndidi, Jesus, Kane, Costa
    or
    B Gabriel, Cahill, Hazard, Jesus, Kane, Anichebe
    or
    C Monreal, Azip, Pedro, Jesus, Kane, Gabbi

    1. Peter Russo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      it comes down to a vs b costa vs hazard ...'hazard for me just'

  26. joersherman
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    A) Gabbie > Anichebe
    B) Sanchez > Ozil

    Need to downgrade one in 37 to fund Jesus

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years

      A

    2. UnitedFan

    Team news has Navas playing as a defender and as a winger in the same team.

    FFS's head blown by Pep's team sheets...

    1. Gooner97

      It's his brother

      He's pretty quick.

  28. EWH2020

    Is anyone else considering Ake over Holgate?

    Realistically the only week anyone will play Holgate is GW37 on a BB vs Watford.

    In that time Ake could very well start at least one game and has some tasty fixtures. Also 0.3m cheaper.

    1. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Wait for presser, need to find out what is going on with Luiz

  29. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Can't decide on my team yet and Hazard would mean dropping one of Alli and Eriksen so can I holt i.e. is Hazard going up tonight?

    Cheers.

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'd drop Eriksen, and it doesn't seems...

      1. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah I've got £0.3 tied up in Eriksen and nothing in Alli, which is making the decision harder. Alli is £0.6m more expensive effectively!

        1. Gooner97
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I sold Eriksen before the Palace goal...

    2. UnitedFan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He's on 96.6 on FPL stats but not rising fast. It'll be close. If not tonight, then tomorrow. Keep and eye on it tonight though

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      Just sell Sanchez tonight and get him back later before deadline?

  30. Rains of Castamere
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Who would you captain in GW36?

    a) Ozil (MUN, sot)
    b) Gabbiadini (liv, ARS)
    c) Hazard (MID)
    d) Costa (MID)

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
