Next up, we take our post-Gameweek delve into the members’ data to assess some of the standout players across the previous round of fixtures.
With Double Gameweeks shaping our plans, Arsenal’s new goal hero, Chelsea’s recent lack of resilience and the form of Man City’s playmaker all come under analysis.
Burnley and Newcastle’s budget frontmen also catch the eye, while we also run the rule over a Fantasy slump for a Stamford Bridge big-hitter.
WC
I 2nd ^
No WC
painful viewing
When you loaded up on GW31...
If no WC, I would accept a decent hit to conduct surgery on this
No WC
What surgery?
Elliot Baines Walcott Shaqiri and Deeney out
DDG Lowton Son Gudmundson and Barnes in
It's a horrible -16, but leaves your team in something resembling shape
Deeney has Burnley at home this week.
Would want to get better players in tham triple Burnley tbh but thanks for the input
Burnley don't concede many, and Deeney doesn't score many. Not to mention Burnley play twice in GW34 and also play in GW35 (the only yeam to do so).
The real benefit of the Burnley players is that it allows a real upgrade for one of Theo/Shaqiri to Son and from your non-playing keeper to the top scoring keeper in the game, while still keeping the possibility of points alive
Anyways, GL with whatever you choose to do
But that then leaves me 2 players shorter for 35 if I lose Shaqiri and Walcott.
3 if I lose Baines as well and Deeney also plays in 35
Agreed, it is a balancing act. But Baines and Deeney are replaced by players with a GW35 fixture, and you will accumulate two more FTs between now and then. One option would be to carry on relying on Foster and use the saving to bring in an Arsenal defender (play 35, DGW to be arranged and excellent fixtures). But with Foster as your only keeper, and WBA unable to keep clean sheets, I would have made getting a better keeper option a priority.
Unfortunately your team has suffered from your attempts to field as many as possible in GW31 without a WC to rectify that. Whether you let that slide to get those same players that let you down in GW31 on the field in GW35 is your choice
Would do a -4 or -8 But not -16
It's a balancing act
Probably take a -16
If no WC
No WC
witch two would you start this week?
A) dunk - hud, H
B) morgan - new, H
C) smalling - city, A
D)lowton - wat, A
im leaning towards the top two atm.
AB
easy
A and B. D pushes A close imo.
C not even a consideration
wait till after tomorrow's result with city and liverpool re smalling..that will have a massive bearing on what team pep fields against united.he has already suggested he will be resting players
chears
In the 5-7m bracket for mids there aren’t any better options than these for DGW34 right?
Willian
Lingard
Groß
Gudmundsson
Seems such a small pool of players and to fit the big hitters I need 2 of these.
Barnes my 3rd striker so not sure about double Burnley attack that leaves only 3 options.
Lingard the only one im even remotely interested in
shame the other 3 are better options for their price imo
Willian and Mili, and hoping for another penalty kick.
Gross not a bad option
Albrighton if you don't already have 3 leicester players. ibe has poor fixtures and matic is a dm but they could enable at 4.7. but there not many options tbf
Ended up with this team on a WC:
DDG - Ryan
Alonson - Smalling - Lowton - Morgan - Stephens
Salah - Mahrez - Willian - Son - Gross
Aub - Vardy - Barnes
0.3 ITB
Planning to BB GW34
Can't decide between these changes:
A) Aub + Son -> Kane + Lingard
B) Aub + Gross -> Lukaku + Gudmonson
I can't find a way to bring in Kane + Lukaku in 2 moves.
Who is your keeper in 35?
FH in GW35
Nice
Will probably go for Karius, mainly because he's cheaper than Ederson or Cech.
To summarise:
A: Kane + Lingard + Gudmanson
B: Lukaku + Son + Gross
A
Nothing to lose anymore so here is my WC team:
Ryan Hennessy
Cedric Chilwell Lowton Masuaku vdH
Sanchez Willian Gross Kenedy Gudmunsson
Lukaku Kane Aubameyang
Am I nuts? Would you balance out the midfield a bit rather than having Sanchez?
Yeah lose Sanchez and spend a bit more elsewhere.. Attack is scary though!
I like the maverickness to this team
This is how I plan to look for 34:
Lloris
Robertson - Maguire - Smalling
Hazard - Mahrez - Lingard - Mili
Kane - Lukaku - Vardy
No FH left, WC in 35 and BB in 37
On WC and decide on the following two options, your thoughts?
A:
Ddg Ryan
Vertonghen Christensen Morgan Lowton DUNK/STEPHENS
Mahrez Salah Gross WILLIAN DUDMUNDSSON
Kane Barnes LUKAKU
B:
Ddg Ryan
Vertonghen Christensen Morgan Lowton TARKOWSKI
Mahrez Salah Gross ALLI LINGARD
Kane Barnes VARDY
*Gudmundsson...
Prefer B
b for me
A- Mahrez / Barnes
B- Gundmonson / Vardy
that's close isn't it?
Yes it sure is. I'm currently on A
I can't wait for next season now actually
+1
Can't wait to start with Robertson and Davies
Just like everyone 😛
Any news on the Pope situation? Will he keep his place?
If he gets dropped at all, it will be this week I think. Otherwise he should see the duration of the season I think. Dyche has used all the excuses he can to postpone this decision, and it comes down to this game.
Annoying timing, doesn't he know I'm on wild card?
😛
Really, why do you think that? I would guess that it might be in their DGW maybe? With two games closer to each other. Perhaps against Chelsea ?
Just that Heaton is finally properly fit. Dyche last week said something along the lines of "I'm taking it slow with Heatons injury, he's fit but Pope plays this week" but Heaton should be pushing him to make a decision this week.
I suppose you’re right
Pope deserves to keep his place.
The idea that people suggest on here is that Heaton should play to put himself into World Cup contention is ridiculous. No chance Heaton goes to the World Cup.
Sure he deserves it. But does Dyche agree?
I hope so, I trust he knows more about football than me.
Completely agree, and if we’re taking WC in consideration then that argues for Pope, not Heaton.
However I interpret Dyche’s comments on the matter as if though he’s implying other wise. But I do think it would be madness, with them going for a spot in Europe and all
I think he carries on starting personally, Dyche would be as good as signing a death warrant for his World Cup hopes if he hooked him for Heaton now.
Not sure I would be confident enough to include him in my FPL team though 🙂
I agree. I just wasn't willing to take the risk.
Nice take.
Updated FH GW34 Team
Schmeichel
Moses Vertonghen Christensen
Son Willian Lingard Mahrez
Kane Lukaku Vardy
Nordfieldt Morgan Long Mukena
Poor team value 🙁
Thoughts
would rather have gross than messi lingard
disagree - lingard is the one to own definitely
Ddg over Schmiech. Double Chelsea defence?
downgrade Moses
DDG is a must for this dgw.
good team considering TV.downgrade moses and get DDG.other than that it looks good.definately lingard over the likes of gross too imo.
Think I have got a better team for gw34 and I wced last week. Salah a dangerous customer not to have at home to Liverpool. Is Alli a better option than Son? Are Willian and Lingard really that great? Why no Man U goalie/defender?
there should be a seperate forum for posting WC teams. this is as bad as its ever been.
have mercy.
An easy solution I would have thought would be to create a pinned RMT Post at the top of each page and people can only post their RMTs there.
It's been tried before, but they all just ignore it and post on the regular article anyway.
Hopefully a curveball with the fixtures will throw a spanner in the works 🙂 Don't think it's going to happen though 🙁
You're desperate for a fixture curveball Jarvish haha 😀
That or divine intervention 😉
If that existed I'd love some myself - Richarlison hatty?
God can only do so much 😉
A) Lukaku Willian Gudmundsson Dunk/Stephens
B) Vardy Son Lingard Tarkowski

Have fixtures been announced yet?
They ll announce In about a day or two 😀
Sanchez or lukaku for DGW?
Both but if pushed for one - kaku

Is there a tool out there that rack up point hits?
I was curious to know who the next highest rank after me is with more/equal point hits taken (just assuming from browsing that nobody in the top1000 is any way near me in that unfortunate regard/behavior)
Cheers
I'd also be keen on that. Especially if it lets you know whether they paid off!
There is one page that shows whether/how it paid off instantly, but I suppose you all know of it?
But I haven’t found one that lets you know how it was for the long haul. I agree that that would be very interesting info!
Matip out for rest of the season
http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/11315187/liverpool-defender-joel-matip-to-miss-rest-of-season-following-thigh-injury
That's a blow to Liverpool
Actually good news for Liverpool defence!
Like it’s going to destroy their awful defense
A) lukaku and lingard
B) barnes and sanchez
A by far.
B. Sanchez finally delivering on the left and i believe will explode now - he had the look v Swansea.
And Barnes over Lingard for assured game time and better form.
Gudmunsson has 2 goals and 7 assists all season - 95 points... Is he popular because people want him for BB? I mean I'd prefer Milivojevic, Kenedy, Hughes/Doucoure.. all of them over him. Even on a WC.. Got to go for goal threat surely
Yep farcical choice
Don't see the appeal - I'm happy playing Mili for 34
Owning Bailly is worrying me.. Can't afford to have 6mil on the bench for DGW34.. who is the best option to replace him with?
Vertonghen?
yes probably
for the guys outside the top 10k, is it worth taking risks?
im currently 69k, at this point i dont care if i finish 500k....im 70 points behind the ml leader
Yes definitely
I am 362k OR and binned firmino and richarlison > kane + mcarthur (-4) this week.
For 34 I plan to bin Salah + Zaha > Hazard + Lingard (no FH or TC left - only WC and BB)
nice plan, can i see ur full team?
Sure.
Currently my team looks like this:
Lloris
Smalling - Maguire - Robertson
Salah - Mahrez - Mili - Zaha
Kane(c) - Lukaku - Vardy
Bench: Elliot - mcarthur - keane - kenny
gw34 plan (after -4)
Lloris
Smalling - Maguire - Robertson
Hazard - Mahrez - Lingard - Mili
Kane(c) - Lukaku - Vardy
Bench: Elliot - mcarthur - keane - kenny
For DGW34 who are the top 3 players you would say you must have in your team
lukaku DDG Vardy/Mahrez
Lukaku Salah DDG
I'd disagree with Salah being a "must have"
The majority will not be captaining him so if there is a week to not own him - this is it.
I agree - if you are WCing this week and eliminate the DGWs (34 and 37), are FHing 35 and could FT him in for GW38, you are effectively only losing him as a captaincy option for GW33 (eve, where you wouldn't captain him anyway probably) and GW36 (STO). Obviously GW36 looks mint, but which ever of the big guns you don't have you will miss out on plum fixtures for.
Down 82 in my main ML, leader has Barnes.
Which cheapish 3rd striker should I go for - Wood or Austin? I don't have FH left.
Wood 100%
this!
