We delve into the Opta data for our next article as we carry out our regular post-match analysis for our members. This week, Spurs’ playmaker, Leicester’s in-form striker and a powerful midfield differential are our main focus ahead of Double Gameweek 34.
Would you downgrade Alonso or Gross, in order to get in Lukaku?
Yes, Gross.
yes, but who to get?
I don't know how much you have itb when you transfer out Gross.
5.4
Kenedy, Matic?
have Kenedy already. Think I'll go with Alonso out
Milli
if I sell Alonso, United defender coming in
Think again. United will play reserves against Bournemouth as semi-final is on the cards. United def is not a best option.
Yes. Alonso
Gross to Ibe
Does anyone actually think Gross will get points in GW34?
Palace away - palace good at home, fighting to stay in league whilst Brighton aren't, Brighton and Gross rarely score away.
Tottenham home - Brighton are bad against top teams, Spurs fighting for Champo league.
He's in bad form with poor underlying stats...
No and that's why I chose Lingard over him
So should I go
Gross and Lingard
or
Pogba and A. KingDon't really like either option but if I had to choose one it would be the first one and if you can, get someone instead of Gross
Thanks. Budget midfield options are terrible. Tempted to just go Gross to Kenedy and get Sanchez for Son. Or even Arnautovic.
Yup.
Can see him whipping in a free kick or some cheeky assist against Spurs and even if Palace had won their last 3 or 4 games on the bounce, I wouldn't expect them to keep a clean sheet.
It's not about who is more likely to win, it's about how many goals are likely to be scored and who will be involved. I think Gross will definitely be heavily involved in both games.
To be honest, did anyone expect Gross to do so well this season?He has done well at home. Away he hasn't scored points so why would he vs Palace and he hasn't scored anything against the top teams. His current form is terrible. Can't see him getting any goal involvements in GW34.
If I had a pound for every time I seen the 'Dial up?' Joke in here.....
I probably wouldn't be in here anymore because I'd be in Vegas
Hear hear!!! The people make this "joke" are trying to sound cool - they're just pathetic.
You're too old to understand
My 76 Mbps download speed says not.
Cool brag
On their deathbeds they might think, 'if I'd only had a little more time and not spent it on; dial up/you're a racist, lol Kaku captainers/hope Kun breaks a leg/cr7 is better than Messi'.
Ronaldo is better than Messi though
Wilcarded last week, now going for bench boost. So pick one:
A) Auba -> Lukaku
B) Mahrez -> Sanchez & Auba -> Vardy (-4)
A) seemed locked in, but B) is tempting. Is it madness?A
Robbo & Salah looking very lively in the warm up.....see them going big at the weekend.
😀 😛
😉
City 4/1 to qualify is so tempting
I would've expected better odds to be honest...
Especially given that the bookies think it's quite likely that both teams will score.
Ah thanks, who is that with might have a bit of that
Historically the odds are 20 to 1 to progress from 0-3. Considering the strength of City, Id say they are twice as likely to go through. So anything over 10 may be a good shout.
Horrendous.
Which 2 mids?
A. Modric, James R.
B. Kroos, Hamez M.For fantasy game, Modric and Kroos aren't good options unless they reward pass accuracy etc.
True, but limited options really... Mane, Salah are fwds and most other mids aren't nailed or don't offer much goal/assist threat
Anyway went for Kroos and Hamez, he's gonna break the CL assist record tonight 😎
Double Burnley defence or swap one for Brighton? FH34 only
Swap one
Doesn't matter imo. Both won't keep CS
Double Burnley
I'd say it depends if you wanna go for ceiling or floor.
Ceiling is doubling up on the same team.
Floor is spreading the risk.
Do you like to gamble?
Anyone got the odds for city to qualify for the next round not just to win the game
i heard there may be one or two in the know
9/2 (5.50)
It's borderline impressive how obnoxious FOX Soccer is
Jesus clearly first choice is interesting.
Hope they go out tonight.
Or Aguero not fully fit
This
Fit enough to be on the bench, if he was a key part of the plan he would be starting no?
What are you talking about Kun isn't fully fit.... Of course ageuro is first choice it's not even close ....
Sorry Pep.
Don't have to be pep to realise you are talking complete and utter garbage
Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today didn't they?
100% this
Is Ward-Prowse nailed and a good enabler for 5.0 and above?
or Cork is a better option?*5.0 and below
Hope Salah doesn't get injured. It'll make it too easy for people to get Kane 🙁
BB team for next week (-8 points), any good ?
De Gea
Alonso Baily Morgan
King Son Willian Mahrez
Kane Vardy Lukaku(C)
Subs: Ryan, Tark, Gudm, Lowton
*FH in 35That Kane, Vardy, Lukaku frontline is the dream everyone wants, but few will have.
I like.Kane Vardy Auba better IMO, with Sanchez instead of Kaku
Not so sure, relying on Burnley CS
That bench 🙁 worth even boosting ?
Of course it's worth him boosting.
What do you expect from a Bench Boost? What was yours when i'm assuming you wasted it?
A good bench boost would be 16. Anything above that is a bonus.Unless he benches his stars to make it look better.
DDG, Alonso, Sanchez, Kane bench boostIn 37 you mean ? Fabs, Lingard, Mawson, Mustafi
Paid for but not having Kane Vardy Lukaku up top 😉
I don’t know what I want any more 🙂
For all the GW32/33 wildcards, GW34 BB to go really well...?
Sure, why not 🙂
Any thoughts on what to do with this team?
Ddg Ryan
Mustafi lowton chilwell Christensen Stephens
Salah mahrez son willian sterling
Auba firmino Barnes
Either
A. Auba & sterling --> Kane & lingard
B. Auba & sterling --> Kane & gross
C. Auba & sterling --> Lukaku & pogba
D. Firmino & sterling --> Kane & ibe/cook
Those of you playing BB this week, what's your highest number of points benched so far this season?
22 here. Would be delighted if I got that this week!
Thanks. This kind of proves my above comment that 16 on the bench is good.
Not sure what mine is but bench boost isn't the 40 points some people seem to think it is..Yep. Even if each player gets just 2 points that's 16 points assuming theyre all DGW players. That'll do me!!
Just realised you said the same thing above 🙂
Haha yeah no problem!
It should always be the aim IMO. I think it's just worth reiterating on here this time of year how bench boost and triple captain are worth savings for now, but certainly not as powerful as some people like to think!
Even the people who got 75 points from Sanchez/Aguero in a DGW from their TC forget that people who didn't have TC had 50 points from them, and certainly that's about the limits of that particular chip!
Anyway i'm going off on a tangent 😉Well said sir!
40 points is a stretch, but o think 30 is easily doable if well planned & selected. It’s just 4x 8 point performances
19
17
19 in gw3 , Elliot 7 , Carroll 3 , Kola 0 , Mbemba 9
17 but in a single GW. In a DGW it should be easily double that, especially if well planned
16. On all occasions I should've played at least one of the bench players over one of the starters.
Just benched 22 in a DGW in Fantasy Eliteserien though. 🙂*on all occasions meaning each of the 3 times I had 16 on the bench, not every single GW lol
Ouch!
20 in game week one.
The trick though is to try to have some players on the bench with double games, otherwise I'd expect more like a 10 pt result.19 in gw3 mbemba and Elliot getting 16bof those
17 in GW19. Elliott on my bench got 9 of those.
Looks like I win! 🙂
Stay safe out there Mo
I'd take a minor twinge.
Looking to claw back a 70 point deficit in a work mini-league...
Have a loaded team for DGW37, no FH, so will use the TC this week.
But should it be on:
Kane
Lukaku
or (surprise choice) Alonso?
Favouring Alonso at the minute 😀Not Alonso imo though a nice multiplier effect if he gets a goal and 2 cleanies. I'd probably go Kane (aka daughter Ransomer).
Romelu
Gotta be a Man U IMO because of much better fixtures;
Sanchez, Pogba or DDG
Like the city team, Stones instead of Ota would have been better mind.
I think Liverpool could tear them a new one on the counter
As Liverpool fan I'd have loved seeing Stones start in the middle of that defense.
Hope City get knocked out of the champions league... What I'm I saying? They WILL get knocked out muhahaha! And then I'll have the team I want for dgw37
A. GroB, Mahrez, Eriksen
B. Arnautovic, Alli, Vardy
FH team
Anyone know how many games/starts/mins whatever, you need to get a PL winners medal?
None - the winners now get 40 or so to dish out as they deem fit
I tgink they've dine away with that.
The winners are guven a set amount of medals to dish out as they deem fit.Ah ok, cheers guys
I think they changed it - club can hand out X number how they like. I can't remember what X is.
Left you a gift on the next article 😉
Prediction: Aguero to come on after a goalless first half. City to score ~75 mins. Liverpool to equalise in dying stages. 1-1.
You must be a riot at parties
😆
Did you see the city lineup?
Can see Virgil scoring in a 1:2 (Kun brace).
I think Liverpool will go 2-0 up early.
What scores more DGW34 ?
a) Lukaku, Son + 4 points
b) Austin, SanchezA
Here wo go!
Thoughts on
Aubamayeng and Alonso out
Lukaku valencia In
Starting XI GW34, please give advice. De Gea, Azp,Lowton, Morgan
Albrighton, Willian, Sanchez, Eriksen,
Lukaku, Kane, Murray
