We delve into our Opta data now in our first members’ article of the week.
Scanning the first six days’ action over Double Gameweek 37, we check up on the contrasting numbers for Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil in Arsenal’s new 3-4-2-1 formation.
Manchster City pair Leroy Sane and Gabriel Jesus are also assessed, as are Philippe Coutinho and Fernando Llorente with their transfers-in escalating ahead of Sunday’s deadline.
Any chance of me getting 34+ points with Alli, Kane and Vertonghen?
no mushroom
Didn't think so. I'd take a goal from Kane, Alli and a clean sheet though.
No
Very unlikely, you'd need a big Spurs win and clean sheet, with your players scoring and assisting all of the goals.
Leicester have injuries, but are strong at home.
Not tonight. 20 maybe.
Maybe. I hope 32 come from Kane and vertongen tho
Worth a shot. I'm 1st in most of my ML's but 2nd in one and he's 34 points ahead. Can't see me catching him now.
ooo snake
No
I have the same 3 players and i d be happy with 10 to be honest
I have the same 3 but not so excited about it as most will own them.
Anichebe out for who? FT
A) Llorente
B) Origi
C) Vokes
If you're Coutinho-less, def B.
b
Same conundrum here too 😉
Tough one this , I am leaning towards C at the moment
If you have him surely you're playing 352, or is it AOA
Leaning towards AOA. Doing Hazard -> Coutinho aswell
Any ideas with this team?
Cech
Monreal Alonso Stephens
Haz King Alli Eriksen Sanchez
Kane Jesus
Cab Anichebe Yosh Holgate
2 FTs 0.1m ITB
Cheers
Sanchez > Cout
* Haz > Cout
Sorry for the wrong reply. 🙂
Cabellero > Cheap
King > Fabregas
I'd ditch 1 of the spurs mids
Maybe. Hull down and missing maguire though.
Depends whether or not you buy in to the "home team" theory.. I don't believe in it enough to ditch my city assets though
Cheers
King and alli for cesc and coutinho?
How would you interpret Allardyce's comments? "We'll play the last game with the fittest team we've got."
Does that mean the fittest first choice players available, or fittest team implies players that haven't played much and therefore won't be carrying little knocks and niggles? Or am I reading too much into this? 😛
Face value says strongest squad IMO.
Best XI possible
They'll do a bleep test and last 11 standing win
They will win the bleep test and then the fittest XI will be the ones who didn't have to do the bleep test :p
😀
There were a few players who played in the Hull game, through pain/injury, as it was a crucial game (Cabaye, Tomkins etc). But Sam'll still want a win against United, so my guess is he plays the strongest team (Zaha, Benteke), minus those injured/recovering players.
Thoughts very much appreciated.
I think E is my fave ATM..though not sure between Couts or Alli..
Also taking a hit this week may not be great for rank progression?
A. Holgate > Bavies
B. Sané > Coutinho
C. King > Fabregas
D. BorC + Yoshida > Bavies (-4)
E. Hazard Holgate > Alli/Coutinho + Cahill (-4)
F. Hazard King > Alli Coutinho (-4)
(1 FT 1.3 ITB)
Cech
Alonso Kompany Yoshida
Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Sané King
Kane Jesus
(Pickford Stephens Holgate Anichebe)
Just get rid of Hazard without taking a hit.
Hazard to coutinho, no hit
Maybe F. Hazard to Coutinho though is probably your best move. I think you're three defenders (and Stephens) have a good chance of a CS so wouldn't take a hit to upgrade one
Thinking of doing Hazard > Mahrez (C) at the moment. Thoughts?
Hey, that's my move
Nice. His differential status is what's swaying me towards him over Coutinho
My exact thought too. I know my rivals will bring in Coutinho and probably captain him as well. I am 10 pts behind the leader atm, so have nothing to lose.
Yep. A juicy 8.2% owned captain diff on the last day for one last hurrah
Could work out really well.. Although I fancy Vardy to take the next penalty they get 😛
Thanks. Pretty happy with my strikers and want to get rid of Hazard so Mahrez is the only Leicester option for me.
Cech
Yoshida - Alonso - Clichy
Alexis - Alli - Hazard - Sané - King
Benteke - Kane
Bench: Pickford, Gabbi, Stephens, Gibson.
1FT and 0.4 ITB.
What to do for the last GW? Thinking about one of these:
A) Alli --> Cout
B) Haz --> Cout
C) Haz and Benteke --> Cout and Jesus (Would cost -4)
6300 overall if that matters. Aiming to both protect mostly, but also catch a 20 point lead to get the 1k money instead of just 500 quid.. Thinking of capping Cout if I bring him in as a small punt. Also not sure whether Jesus would be worth a hit or if I should just play Benteke against an inexperienced United.. Thoughts guys?
Wait for pressers but probably B
Best option with 1 FT and 0.6 ITB:
A Hazard - Coutinho
B Hazard - KDB
C Hazard - KDB and Gabbiadini to Giroud (-4)
D Hazard - Fabregas/ Pedro and Gabbiadini to Vardy (-4)
E Gabbiadini to Origi
Willy, Hazard, Kane > Mignolet, Coutinho, Kun (C) -8? Yes or no?
Mignolet
Alonso - Yoshi - Stephens
Alexis - KDB - Coutinho - Pedro - King
Kun (C) - Jesus
no
Not unless you are hoping for a lucky differential week.
27k, need to do something ridiculous to have a shot at 10k.
Not worth the hits. Just get rid of Hazard
Not worth two hits imo.
Caballero
Monreal Yoshida Alonso
Sanchez King KDB Albrighton Dele
Jesus(c) Kane
Cech Stephens Holgate Anichebe
1 FT
Any Changes ?
Maybe Dele for Cout, see how he plays tonight.
thanks
I forgot I still had Kane and Ali left to play. It would be nice to break 150.
My previous best score this season was only 89.
Good luck! What's your score now?
1 FT and 0.4ITB:
Playing AoA:
Caballero
Alonso/Mawson
Eriksen/King/Sane
Kane/Jesus
A) Valencia and Gabbi to Cheapest def (3.8) and Benteke or Llorente (-4)
B) Valencia and Kante to Stanislas (-4)
C) Valencia and Hazard to Alexis (-4)
D) Valencia Kante Gabbi to Siggy and Llorente (-8)
E) Valencia Kante Gabbi to Stanislas and Benteke (-8)
F) Valencia Hazard Gabbi to Sanchez and Benteke
Trying to maximize points don't mind taking hits ... Thanks!
DDG to who? Mignolet? 5.6 max.
Yes
Heaton or Mignolet
This.
Heaton
Cheers. Leaning towards Heaton, he's great.
Who is the best diver in the EPL at the moment? I think Kane is. Very clever.
Ryan Fraser is pretty good
the worst are defo Arsenal
The keepers obviously
Which combination would you choose?
A) Costa + couts + vokes
B) Sturridge + sane + pedro
A
GW 38
Costa > Jesus
And
Sanchez TC?
Cech
Yoshida-Cahill-Gibbs
King-De Bruyne-Sanchez - Eriksen - Zaha
Kane - Costa
Have any of you been playing the manager mode in FIFA 17? How's it?
I play online most of the time so no idea about that 🙁
Oh. Okay. Thanks.
Simulation to face retrospective action next season.
Does this influence the attackers you will pick?
No
if it influencers the attackers' games, yes
No
Not really..might delay the timing of transfers each week though
No. Vardy (C) every week.
Retrospective yellows. Wonder if it would effect baps?
It'll influence the strength of my bench
Strengthens Sanchez as a premium option. Lessons appeal of someone like Rashford
Yes, sterling, sane, costa all risky picks suddenly
It might but some players are better at diving than others Alli is a expert and Sterling is meh for instance
Crazy Gw this.. so many players you don't own have a potential to do really well.. trade off with the players you own who can perform equally good
Literally don't know what to do, you just know what ever you do or don't do, it will hurt you
yep, this
I wouldn't mind Kane picking up a small niggle while celebrating his hat-trick tonight.
Excuse to get Vardy in?
Or Dstudge. Or Giroud. Or Kun. So many good differentials.
No thanks, I need his points against a Maguire-less Hull as well!
I'm sure this has already been asked so apologies.
Is Trippier definitely out of tonight's game?
Yes. No Walker either.
Wow, who will they play rb?
Talk of a 4-4-2 with Dier reverting to RB but anyone's guess really.
Same team as last game except Dembele in for Trippier and Dier at RB
Yep - Concussion. There's no way out of that one.
Suggestions? Wouldn't mind something punty as its the last gw. 1ft, 0itb
Willy, pickford
Bertrand, yoshida, Stephens, holding, benalouane
Hazard, ozil, alli, fabregas, king
Kane, Costa, Jesus
Bertrand to Matip?
Why do most think that Hazard won't play he's had 5 days rest before Sunday's final home game n being champions n all and will have another 5 days before fa cup
0.5 m ITB with 1 FT........and haven't a clue what to do. Thoughts, Hits?
DDG Pickford
Alonso Bailly Monreal Stephens Kompany
Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Sane JWP
Benteke Jesus Rashford
What are the chances that Benalouane and Albrighton combine to get -2 points against Spurs.
My h2h rival leads me by 2 points but has those two guys more than me. We both have Kane and Alli though. Ideal scenario would be for Albrighton to get a red card and Spurs to score more than 4 goals and win to nil.
I think you know the answer 🙂
Ya. But hoping against hope. 🙁
Giroud nailed for the final game of the season?
Should be.
Looking at Hazard & Gabbiadini to Coutinho & Giroud. I figure back the two teams who still have something to play for.
Yes.
At the moment, I've got Cech and Holding on the bench for GW 38. Should I bring them in for any of...
A) Caballero
B) Cech
1. Vert
2. Alonso
3. Yoshida
I'd start them both ahead of Caballero & Yoshida personally.
Yeah, I'm a bit torn on Yoshida. Stoke at home is a great fixture and Southampton still seem to be keeping clean sheets.
Would you take out Eriksen for Coutinho if you have Kane? Or just take out Hazard and go double Spurs attack?
Hazard is too much of a rotation risk right now so he'd be the one to go. Eriksen is nailed. Obviously reassess if there's something in the presser which indicates Hazard will start.
Good points cheers.
Get rid of Hazard LB. He might be rested while Spurs could run riot against a Maguire-less Hull. 🙂
sane and ali > KDB and coutinho for a hit?
Blimey, could be massive or disastrous. Just Alli to Cout for me
chasing ML leader by 25 points need to have a punt i think
Reckon Pedro starts on Sunday?
Yep, bit of a gamble though
Cheers mate
