We cast an eye over the Gameweek 36 Opta data this morning in our first members article of the week.
With Double Gameweek 37 looming, Manchester City, Chelsea and Spurs playmakers are assessed, while we also turn to Manchester United and Leicester City in our search for potential differentials.
G2G for sure 🙂
Thanks, anything worth changing using my FT or just save?
lovelyyy
Thanks, anything worth changing using my FT or just save?
nah, save that FT for the final day, could be a goalfest
Best TC option for GW38 ?
Haz/jesus/a pool mid
Looks good. Happy for you.
Thanks, anything worth changing using my FT or just save?
I'd save.
GTG
Thought on any of these? Can't believe I'm considering a -12!
1. Walker+Stones+Zaha > Alonso+Kompany+Albrighton (-8)
2. Walker+Stones+Coutinho > Alonso+Kompany+Fabregas (-8)
3. Walker+Stones+Jakupovic > Cahill+Yoshida+Caballero (-8)
4. Walker+Stones+Coutinho+Jakupovic > Alonso+Monreal+Fabregas+Caballero (-12)
2
2 or 4

Chelsea first team players look very attractive, but after the WBA match many of them will warm up the bench. Too much risk for too many hits.
Thanks all. Alternatively I can ignore Alonso, keep Coutinho and do this:
Walker+Stones+Zaha > Kompany+Yoshida+Fabregas (-8)
Looks better. Also, Coutinho is useful for GW38.
Fun fact. 57 people have transferred in Zlatan this week :'D
didn't you hear? He's made a miraculous recovery 😛
(C) confirmed!
149 Coleman
81 Mane
462 J.Benteke for 4.3 😀 Rather then Anichebe they said.
haha 🙂
Fan boy fanatics.
Cabs and Stephens best 9.2 mil GK and def combo? Pickford and Holding the others options
REPOST...Thoughts guys?
BB this week.
Pickford - Hennessey
Gabriel - Stephens - Gibson -
Yoshida - Holgate
Alli - Eriksen - King - Sanchez -
Hazard
Benteke - Lukaku - Jesus
For -4...Benteke/Gibson to
A Llorente/Kompany
B Welbeck/Clichy
Or
for -8... Benteke/Lukaku/Gibson to
C Azip/Kane/Anichebe
D Azip/Vardy/Llorente
E Simpson/Costa/welbeck
D with Kompany instead of Azpi
Looks like my GW35 WC def ain't that awesome anymore 😀
Alonso - Blind - Gabriel - Davies - Stephens
Got two FT's to sort it out. Any suggestions?
BB active, of course.
Blind needs to go.
Yep. But for who? Davies and Gabriel also question marks.
for -4 I could fix all three. Maybe for Luiz, Gibbs & Holding/Holgate maybe.
Gibbs catches my eye. I would expect Gabriel to start at least one game.
Fantasy Football Scout daily hot topic
Who will be GWK 37's best differential?
Will it be a double gameweek player? Or will a single gameweek emerge as the best?
De Bruyne.
Depends on the definition but KdB, Fabregas for DGW.
Markovic as a SGW prospect against an awful Palace side who seem to have forgotten that they are nowhere near mathematically safe.
I agree on KDB and Cesc.
Still unsure if I'd rather have
A. Fabregas, KDB, Gabbiadini
B. Fabregas, Sané, Vardy
De Bruyne
im still stuck choosing between Pickford and Cabs
The cool kids have both... BD
DDG trumps all 😉
Hopefully KdB. Looks like a fair few of us are casting our lot in with the ginger ninja to get the magical OR/ML boost
I'm going to continue with my spiel about him being a waste of a transfer given DGW injury risk and a sideways move and then I'm going to crawl behind my sofa to emerge victorious/bloodied for a season-defining/season-ending GW38.
Oh yeah mate, I'm sure you're right, it's just FFS-driven hype that will result in an 8pointer. I'm thinking of doing it to get a big differential basically as my more casual ml rivals own and will captain the standout pick for me, Jesus. Little variance in my league too so something like this could be big.
I'm just worried he'll be rotated. Otherwise I'd consider Hazard > KDB
a TC chip instead of BB could be the ultimate differential
Very good point.
That's My Gameplan!
Indeed. BB36 and TC37 had been my plan from some weeks now and at least I have a fair choice of candidates.
I'm thinking Fabregas
I like Fabregas for this GW.
Only problem, I want a player for 37 AND 38.
Kante could steal minutes from Fab in 38 to get ready for the FA cup final...
ramsey
solomon rodon
goal against Chelsea
brace at city
thank me later
It'll be much later.
now I've heard it all jeez 😛
This might end up beating the Vokes scoutcast pick from last week!
I was thinking of rondon but considering rodon now
I now have a rod-on
Siggy and King I hope can emerge from the double gameweekers shadows.
The utimate differential will be TC in GW38 🙂
TC in 38 is a massive gamble with such rotations...
Willian could be a very under the radar differential.
How many minutes will he play though ? He hasn't played much for weeks now...
Jesus seems still a differential
43 % of top 10k own Jesus this week.
It will be over 50 % in 37...
That still means half of the top 10k won't have him : -)
Willian
Vardy
and Cech
Kompany
Oh and just for you Jonty...Rudy Gestede (can't believe I still own him haha) brace in a Boro rout 😉
Kompany I agree. Fresh legs, always a treat, and nice fixtures defensive wise
Wee Ryan Fraser with his third double-digit haul this season!!!
(And just as I say that I see he's got an injury, complete with very annoying ambiguous manager comments! http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/15270838.Fraser_introduction_a_necessity_for_Howe/ )
Had him on WC myself with King with those fixtures and this explains the lack of game time.
He is going to have to go for a DGW guy - I can't risk getting 30 mins out of him against someone with potentially 180...
Yeah he's gone.
I really fancied him for a haul as well
Cesc, thank me later.
Siggy could be good final two games
*gold
Kompany
Clint Dempsey.
I'd like Benteke if it was a sgw.
Not sure if he can be considered a differential really but given all the focus on DGW assets, Lukaku could do very well in his SGW against Watford.
Willian has already been mentioned but I reckon he's a great shout.
Alex Oxlade Chamberlain (conservative)
John Terry as a differential?
1 last goal before he leaves?
Holding! Why because a lot of us have Holgate and a swap for Holding could be a good differential with low risk
I think this week's real differential will be who people end up captaining. A lot of options available
David Silva
defoe
Hello folks. Advice please
I'm worried about Hazard's pitch time and Gabbi's total lack of attack.
A) Gabbi -> Vardy &
Hazard -> Fabregas (-4)
B) simply do Gabriel -> Gibbs
with my FT. I think Gibss'll play
Don't worry.Be Happy.
I do want Gibbs to be honest.
But I'm in need of an anger transfer with Gabbi. Soton attack has been VERY poor
A. looks good
Thanks. I'm still torn.
Have no BB so I'm looking at a strong 11 with TC 🙂
You and everyone else mate
Yeah, a common problem I'm sure. It's gonna be Interesting to see what we do to fix it.
Or will both Hazard and Gabbi do ok in dgw37
Hazard will. Gabbi is rubbish, glad I never wasted 4 points on him.
People trusting Pep that KDB wont suddenly be moved back to CM or even wing back, or even the bench?
pep doesn't do rotation
oh yeah how could I forget 😉
kdb has also never been benched by pep and never played deep. 50 pts confirmed with 3 starts
pfff 50 more like 60
Any news on Kos injury? Rival gas him
Has him
repost
morrison gabriel baily out for -8
to
ox monreal morgan
or
ox brunt 5,6m nailed deffender
?
What are people's thoughts on Clichy for the double? Poor pick?
Not bad, but because if the slight rotation risk I got kompany.
Every time I get either clichy or kolarov I end up.choosing the wrong one.
Clichy looks the more nailed one though
Which one Guys?
A) Ozil + Gabbi > De Bruyne + Anichibe (-4)
B) Sanchez > De Bruyne
C) Ozil + Kane > De Bruyne + Costa (-4)
D) Keep
can u afford Ozil to KDB?
Unfortunately not
hmmm, maybe just B then. Not particularly keen on it however
Thanks - do have 5.5 spare so wouldn't necessarily need to be to Anichibe if I was looking at option A but i'm just going with the DGW player.
Which one carries more fear of being rotated?
A) De Bruyne?
B) Sane?
Don't think either will.
i have the same question
Think Sané has had his rest and he's Pep's second-newest toy. I think he will start all remaining games and play most of them.
Ladies. Do we prefer Monreal (stk, SUN) or Kompany (LEI, WBA)?
Kompdog
Cheers bud.
I've willy so Monreal.
If I didn't it would be Vincent.
Cheers. 🙂
only ladies?
Yes I'm afraid.
Ladies don't have willy they have cech so therefore kompany is the answer
Alli to Sterling for -4? Or Alli and Bailly to De Bruyne and Benalouane for -8?
Keep Alli.
Last week it was all about Jesus.
Failed.
This week De Bruyne.
?
success
Silva for me
GTG w/ BB on this lot:
Willy Pickford
Yoshida Alonso Azpi Benalouane Stephens
Hazard Sanchez Alli Sane King
Kane Jesus Anichebe
???
Thanks
ya
Alonso is a cult hero in FPL 16/17
depends on your experience of him, I took him out just b4 his 21 pointer
As soon as I watched him play his first match, knew he was essential.....that's my experience.
One of the lower performing defenders that I have had - 3.9 ppg over 13 games
I've had Daniels get me 1ppg and McAuley 2.6 ppg
I only buy good defenders to curse them for my rivals
So did I but got him back because I couldn't take the chance of it happening again. He's been great to own.
same, still sour about that Leicester game tho 😛
Could be said of a lot of big hitters ... they are top of the tables because the pop up with 20 points or so every now and then, usually the week after you sell them or the week before you buy them
Unfortunately if you miss the weeks when the points roll in the average ends up not being great
Guess I am still keeping Sanchez for these same reasons
Had him twice and missed all his hauls. FML.
Yep best asset by far, bought him at 5.8. I will give him the armband next week in honour of his great season for me! 🙂
Good call. Looked worthy of a couple of goals last night
Yeah, just hope he plays both games now! Kompany is my current VC!! Crazy that I've drawn to defenders as captain picks for this dbl. The uncertainty with big hitters makes it a little bit easier to do I suppose, GL!
*5.9
Could replace L for N for some peoples experience of him...
No idea why you people would sell him.....he's top scorer and didn't start til week 6
I have had him for the last two games. Never owned before.
Any GW38 crazy transfer ideas yet?
pool mids
Lallana could be puntable. I may do Clyne.
Sturridge. Willian. Fer. Terry. Son.
Wildcard then
Terry and Sturridge could be great
Can't see Studge playing when 3rd get UCL group stage, 4th get's qualifying rounds....
Sturridge has to be the mother punt ... especially if TC is still available
Can't see it. Why would Klopp want to lose and not get auto-qualification for UCL?
He will likely replace origi who is not good enough
Cout - Firm - Lall is his usual pre-Studge formation
When Mane's out obv
I'm planning on Cech+Alli+Jesus to Mignolet+Firminio+Vardy
(need to do gk to fee 500K and don't fancy Ars v Eve anyway)
never had a bad word to say about Kun, but City does look much more dangerous without him. They just swarm the box and KDB even looks up for shooting again. granted they won't play a make shift Palace defense at home every match but don't see Kun as part of their future.
from the second Jesus played against Wham away it was obvious
Yes but Jesus basically plays the same role right? Coming deep, laying the ball off to the wingers, hanging around on the halfway line instead of trying to get in behind the defence
Is it worth playing Brunt over Baines this week?
nope, Wat cant score
A DGWer ahead of SGWer....Hmmm, why not!!
Didn't Giroud get a hattie last GW 38?
Walcott?
It was Giro.
Yes
Essential
Never thought Eve could defend anyway 😎
G2G?
Cech Pickford
Alonso Cahill Bavies Yoshida Stephens
Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Sane King

0itb 1ft
Any moves I should make this week?
Rival will captain hazard next week so not sure about getting rid.
I've got a 35 point lead and 6 more dgw players
I'm bench boosting in 37
yep, looks good. save the FT
How many hits is everyone on?
0, was thinking of saving FT but have a sudden need to get a City mid in.
That's just because you're on here and everyone is thinking it.
-116 for the season, 0 this week (WC in 22)
None so far.But the week is still young.
-12 this week ... hopefully no late call ups will be needed
Who scores more
A Holgate - Watford
B Clichy - LEISTER WBA (-4)
B if he plays
The one thing that annoys me most about the modern game is players needing rests.Poor pets. Always getting tired.
To be fair, the modern game is a lot more physicaly demanding than it was 10 years ago, much less 50.
It might be more physically demanding but not as physical. Too pampered .
A lot more demanding from the get go. Kids aged 14 years have training at much higher intensity than was normal several years ago. A lot more data to go around as is a lot more money. Everyone is trying to not risk his assets.
Agree on the physical bit yeah, different generation of players.
It hasn't been demanding for Chelsea and they are about to have a summer break
One double gw coming up and the whole squad is meant to be rested!
intensity in football is getting increased year on year, as all players have become fitness beasts. Altho I think Maureen has some sort of paranoia with resting players, its ridiculous
Simple, they have vastly more medical data now, and can measure exactly when players enter the risk zone for injuries -- if a player has 30% chance of getting a muscle tear putting them out 8 weeks why would you risk it?
