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.

    Which one transfer would YOU make if this was your team?

    Foster
    Baines Ake Alonso
    Walcott Salah Eriksen Shaqiri
    Aubamayang Lukaku Deeney

    Elliot VLP TAA Schindler

    0.3 ITB & 1 FT

      painful viewing

      When you loaded up on GW31...

      If no WC, I would accept a decent hit to conduct surgery on this

        What surgery?

        1. Going Home
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          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

          1. Scotty B
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Deeney has Burnley at home this week.
            Would want to get better players in tham triple Burnley tbh but thanks for the input

            1. Going Home
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              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

              1. Scotty B
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 11 months ago

                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

                1. Going Home
                  • 14 Years
                  7 years, 11 months ago

                  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

                  1. Scotty B
                    • 13 Years
                    7 years, 11 months ago

                    Would do a -4 or -8 But not -16

              2. Scotty B
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 11 months ago

                It's a balancing act

    4. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Probably take a -16

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        If no WC

        1. Scotty B
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          No WC

  2. barton fc
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    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.

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      AB

      easy

    2. Going Home
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      A and B. D pushes A close imo.

      C not even a consideration

    3. boc610
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      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

      1. barton fc
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        chears

  3. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    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.

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Lingard the only one im even remotely interested in

      1. lilmessipran
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        shame the other 3 are better options for their price imo

    2. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Willian and Mili, and hoping for another penalty kick.

    3. Scheister
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Gross not a bad option

    4. barton fc
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      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

  4. Stuberry
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    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.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Who is your keeper in 35?

      1. Stuberry
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        FH in GW35

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Nice

          1. Stuberry
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Will probably go for Karius, mainly because he's cheaper than Ederson or Cech.

    2. Stuberry
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      To summarise:

      A: Kane + Lingard + Gudmanson

      B: Lukaku + Son + Gross

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        A

  5. The Legend Squad
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    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?

    1. LC1
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah lose Sanchez and spend a bit more elsewhere.. Attack is scary though!

    2. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      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

  6. Scheister
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    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

    1. Scheister
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      *Gudmundsson...

    2. beefo
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Prefer B

    3. FULLSERVICECOVER
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      b for me

  7. rnrd
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    A- Mahrez / Barnes
    B- Gundmonson / Vardy

    that's close isn't it?

    1. Scheister
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yes it sure is. I'm currently on A

  8. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    I can't wait for next season now actually

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      +1

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Can't wait to start with Robertson and Davies

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Just like everyone 😛

  9. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Any news on the Pope situation? Will he keep his place?

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      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.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Annoying timing, doesn't he know I'm on wild card?

        1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          😛

      2. PrettyDick
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        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 ?

        1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          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.

          1. PrettyDick
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            I suppose you’re right

    2. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      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.

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Sure he deserves it. But does Dyche agree?

        1. HamezMace
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I hope so, I trust he knows more about football than me.

      2. PrettyDick
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        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

    3. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      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 🙂

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I agree. I just wasn't willing to take the risk.

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Nice take.

  10. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Updated FH GW34 Team

    Schmeichel
    Moses Vertonghen Christensen
    Son Willian Lingard Mahrez
    Kane Lukaku Vardy

    Nordfieldt Morgan Long Mukena

    Poor team value 🙁

    Thoughts

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      would rather have gross than messi lingard

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        disagree - lingard is the one to own definitely

    2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Ddg over Schmiech. Double Chelsea defence?

    3. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      downgrade Moses

      DDG is a must for this dgw.

    4. FULLSERVICECOVER
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      good team considering TV.downgrade moses and get DDG.other than that it looks good.definately lingard over the likes of gross too imo.

    5. DJ1000
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      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?

  11. boc610
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    there should be a seperate forum for posting WC teams. this is as bad as its ever been.

    have mercy.

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      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.

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      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 🙁

    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

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I'd also be keen on that. Especially if it lets you know whether they paid off!

      1. PrettyDick
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        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!

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      That's a blow to Liverpool

        Like it’s going to destroy their awful defense

  18. Emiliano Sala
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    A) lukaku and lingard
    B) barnes and sanchez

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      A by far.

    2. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      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.

  19. BIGREDDOG
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    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

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      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?

    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

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      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)

      1. PocketZola
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

          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

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      lukaku DDG Vardy/Mahrez

    2. Sadio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Lukaku Salah DDG

      1. #FPLBhuna

        7 years, 11 months ago

        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.

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Wood 100%

        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        It's not enough.....kane cost is 12.7, it's very very high.....for only 3 GW.
