Having struggled to make an impact in his opening matches for Manchester United, Alexis Sanchez has made a timely return to form ahead of Double Gameweek 34.

Back-to-back double-digit hauls against Swansea and Man City, denying the latter of the title at the Etihad Stadium, has reignited confidence in the Chilean’s Fantasy prospects.

With Jose Mourinho’s men set for a kind pair of fixtures against West Brom and Bournemouth, Sanchez looks a ready-made differential in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), boasting a 3% ownership.

In this latest Monitor article for members’, we run the rule over Sanchez’s recent form for the Old Trafford outfit to assess whether he could be worth the hefty 11.5 outlay.

    Clarification please.
    If I make my free transfer next week (GW 35) and the subsequently trigger my FH chip, what happens to the transfer? Does it still stand or is it reversed?
    Thanks

    1. Going Home

      Your transfer will be reversed

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        So basically you lose the transfer in terms of subsequent game weeks?
        Frustrating!

    2. Going Home

      Think of it like a WC. If you incur a points hit before triggering your WC, the hit is wiped off when you activate the WC

        I don't mind it on a WC as I am planning for several weeks. The FH chip is a single game so really you only get 37 Transfers a season with this chip

        1. Going Home
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Wow, that is a hell of a way to make picking a team targeted for one week only sound like a bad thing 😉

            7 years, 8 months ago

            🙂
            I hear you. I am just frustrated that I'm going to lose a transfer in preparation for DGW 37 and therefore will have to take a hit to do what I planned 🙁

            1. Going Home
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 8 months ago

              You don't have to play the FH chip. Ain't nobody forcing you

                If I want more than 8 on the pitch it needs to be!!

                  7 years, 8 months ago

                  I was only playing. It's been talked about a lot before and I think it's clear from the FAQs on FPL website. At least you now know (and for the future)

                  FWIW, if you use both WCs and the FH, you actually only get 34 FTs through a season.

    Hands up who else is going without Kane this week

    1. Going Home
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I'm with you!

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Yes planning to I think- see below

    3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I am! Plan on getting him on WC for GW36, have Alli currently as Spurs cover

    4. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years

      *handsdown*

    5. Lemongrab
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah I plan on getting him for 36 too glad I'm not alone. Will be bricking it though!

    6. DJ1000
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I have Kane and Lukaku. Think both could be worth their weight in gold this gw. We have already seen how desperate Kane is to go on a goal rush.

  3. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Playing BB this week but no FH or WC for 35.

    Is sensible move therefore to get Lukaku in for Auba on a free and carry other free to 35 ( unless Gudmundsson declared not fit)?

    Gives 12 double week players and couple of transfers ( including Lukaku back to Auba) would get me 8/9 for 35.

    This means no Kane until 36 but going to cost me probably -4 this week to get and he is not playing next week so putting faith in Firmino scoring in what is likely to be limited minutes! If only had not wasted FH......

    Gtg?

    DDG Ryan
    Alonso Smalling Mustafi * Lowton Morgan
    Salah.* Son Mahrez Willian Gudmundsson
    Firmino * Barnes Lukaku (c)

    1. Going Home
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Kane in 36 is what all the cool kids (me) are doing 😉

    2. Lemongrab
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I think Firmino will play so I recon you're good.

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks both

  4. Park the bus
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    A. Sanchez and Aubameyang (no hit)
    B. Lukaku and Eriksen -4
    C. Kane and Mahrez -4 (already have Vardy)

    Triple captain willl be played this week for first player in each option.

    Thoughts??

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      B
      But i kinda like A also.

  5. Red Dagger ✪
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Rock bottomed....

    How does this look? I'm playing BB. Also who should I captain?

    De Gea / Ryan
    Duffy/ Bailly / Morgan / Ward / Lowton
    Salah / Mahrez / Son / Willian / RLC
    Lukaku / Kane / Barnes

    1. Ten Season Wonder
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Strong

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Salah could be a nice captain differential

      1. Red Dagger ✪
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Sort of thinking that too.

  6. Ten Season Wonder
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Please pick best duo;

    A). Alexis & Kante
    B). Mahrez & Sonny

    1. Going Home
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      It's basically Alexis +5 (likely) v Mahrez and Son. B) by a street

      1. Ten Season Wonder
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Basically yea. I feel Alexis will storm it (15+ points)

        I also think Sonny will only get one game (likely the MCY one) and Mahrez has been out of sorts last 2 games.

        1. Going Home
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          I think Alexis has had two reasonable performances, they just happen to have come in the last two weeks. But hey, people are getting in Pogba after a good 45 mins so what do I know...

          1. Ten Season Wonder
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

            It's not about the two good previous games... Alexis has prem pedigree. He has 2 great fixtures as well.

            Unfortunately, I may have to go without 🙁

            1. Going Home
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 8 months ago

              Alexis has been hit and miss at best this season (and mainly miss, let's be honest). I sure as hell wouldn't be ripping my team up to get him in as the second most expensive player in the game (?)

    2. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      B.

    3. semiconductor
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      B

  7. Going Home
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Having just found one, I need to know if there are more of us out there...

    Anyone else going without any United defensive cover? Anyone else at all?

    1. Ten Season Wonder
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No. I have DDG & Smalling.

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

        I'm thinking of having the same. U confident on smalling?

        1. Going Home
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Hey, this is a safe space for all non-United defensive player owners. Take your double united defensive owning selves elsewhere

        2. Ten Season Wonder
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          He'll certainly get one.

      Me

      1. Going Home

        Woohoo!!!

  8. Goonsquad245
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    1 FT left and FH next week so can't carry it...

    Narrowed it down to

    A) Mustafi -> Smalling
    B) Groß -> Lingard
    C) Both -4
    Thanks!

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Same position. I think you need to consider 37 here too. My reason for not getting Sanchez is that I'd struggle to be flexible in 36-37. With Lingard it seems a worthwhile risk and I'm more likely to hang on to him throughout.

      1. Goonsquad245
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Totally agree and that's what I'm thinking. Groß has horrific fixtures in 37/8, so the hit probably pays off over the rest of the season?

  9. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Is there any chance Romero get thrown in for one of these DGW games with FA Cup semi final in mind

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Very slim

    2. lugs
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      doubt it , keepers don't need much rest , plus he's injured 😆

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Could happen yes.
      Bloody hope not though.

    4. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Hope so 😀

    5. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Hey. Keep that talk from here. He's owned by everyone.

      1. Going Home
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        *almost everyone

  10. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    This article has exposed Sanchez as an option that people are merely chasing due to his points from the last 2 weeks.

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      It's a differential that I'm considering as I'm chasing 36 pts in ML

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        You might end up chasing more than 36, consider that too. Never choose a player because he's a differential but because you think he's the best option. The differential part should just be a bonus

        1. Weasel Boy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Well im not keen on Lukaku.
          That's the easiest option for me.
          Lukaku only has 3x double digit pts this season so far.

          1. Going Home
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

            Also has far fewer blanks than those with more double digit returns. That's why he's the fourth highest scoring forward and 13th highest scoring player in the game. It's a balance

    2. Ten Season Wonder
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Correct. He's finally found a bit of form. And just at the right time.

      Couldnt ask for two easier fixtures

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        FPL returns in 2 games doesn't necessarily suggest form

  11. Ten Season Wonder
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Is Gross > Lingard worth a hit?

    1. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Probably.
      Groß has terrible fixtures but Lingard will probably make a sub appearance or be subbed in 34.
      Owner btw.

    3. SAY MY NAME
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      probably not worth a hit, i've got Lingard but wouldn't be surprised with a little rotation in DGW, but i expect Gross will play both of his - that being said if it was free i'd probably make the transfer

      if you are confident you want Lingard for the rest of the season then take the hit

    4. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Not imo

    5. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      nah

  12. Essrick
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Az - didn't seem to catch your captain decision on the Scoutcast! Kane or Lukaku?

  13. semiconductor
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    I keep going back and forth on these. Please help me pick

    1. Alonso+Christensen+Willian+Lingard
    2. Alonso+Simpson+Son+Lingard
    3. Smalling+Simpson+Alli+Willian

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      2

    2. Going Home
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I like the variety of 2

      Avoid 1 as three (and maybe four) are rotation risks

  14. fish66
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    What to go for

    (a) Lukaku, Vardy, Son, Gross,
    (b) Kane, Vardy, Son, Cook
    (c) Kane, Vardy, Lingard, Gross
    (d) Kane, Lukaku, Gross, Cook for a -4

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      d

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

      A or B

  15. PepSala
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    This is my team unfortunately..who would you captain?

    Pope
    Smalling Bailly Robertson
    Hazard Son Lingard Salah
    Auba Firmino King

    Fabianski duffy Mbemba King

    1. Goonsquad245
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Hazard

    2. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No FH or WC ? Not keen on taking hits ?

      Maybe Son out of those

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Salah or Firmino

    4. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I would wildcard immediately

    5. lugs
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Son , he can do some serious damage against a possibly rotated + deflated City side imo

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        What will they be rotated for?

        1. lugs
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          tiredness , even if they don't rotate i still fancy Spurs to score a few past them

  16. pakornk
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Alonso and Auba > Smalling and Kane for - 4?

    1. Going Home
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      It's a no from me

  17. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Team is:

    De Gea, Ryan
    Lowton, Dunk, Robertson, Alonso, Morgan
    Ibe*, Mahrez, Salah, Willian, Kenedy
    Auba, Kane, Barnes

    Playing bench boost this weekend. Would you do:

    A - Auba to Lukaku for free
    B - Auba and Mahrez to Vardy and Sanchez for -4

    1. Goonsquad245
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      A for sure - Sanchez and Lukaku are similar, as are Vahrez

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I don't think Lukaku and Sanchez are similar. If Sanchez is having a good game he can score and assist like crazy. I'm unsure about Lukaku.

        1. Going Home
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          *IF* Lukaku has a good game, he can score for fun. He's done it plenty before, just less so in a less adventurous United team

    BB team for GW34 (-8 points), any good ?

    De Gea
    Alonso Baily Morgan
    AKing Son Willian Mahrez
    Kane Vardy Lukaku(C)

    Subs: Ryan, Tark, Gudm, Lowton

    *FH in 35

    1. Going Home
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Have you locked in those hits? Even with a bunch of DGW players, it seems a big call to kick off eight behind

      1. HD7
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Auba Murray Salah to Kane Lukaku AKing. Its -8 but they are nailed players. Whereas Salah will be rotated now and Murray also probably

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

    A) Stephens, Son & Auba > Cedric, Lingard & Kane for -4?

    or

    B) Stephens, Salah, Vardy & Auba > Cedric, £5.5m mid, Lukaku & Kane for -8?

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

      FYI...

      A = Kane (C)

      B = Lukaku (C)

  20. Ten Season Wonder
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Best 7.8m mid for the DGW? (not Willian or Lingard)

    1. Ten Season Wonder

      and I'm maxed out on UTD.

    Will use my Free Hit. Thoughts on this team:

    Schmeichel
    Smalling, Azpilicueta, Lowton
    Sanchez, Alli, Mahrez, Arnautovic
    Lukaku, Vardy, Barnes

    ?

    1. FantasyNik123
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I would get only one of Sanchez and Lukaku, get Kane, and do Smalling to Morgan and Schmeichel to De Gea

  22. L S P

    What would you do?

    A) Mane->Sanchez (TC)
    B) Salah->Sanchez (TC)
    B) Salah/Auba->Sanchez/Lukaku (TC) for -4

    Out of Morgan and lowton, who are the most nailed Burnley / Leicester defenders out of these?

    Burnley - tarkowski, Ward
    Leicester - Chilwell, Simpson

    Which other cheapies are people looking to bring in?

    1. Going Home
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      All four as nailed as can be at this stage of the season (i.e. clear first choices in their respective positions)

    Kane or vardy ? Thanks

    1. rdamjan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Kane and Vardy

    2. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Kane

    3. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      both

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Vardy + 4m

  25. JasonG123

    Have the exact funds for Son and Auba to Kane and Lingard. Too risky to do it now? Too risky to wait?

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Why do it now? None of them are close to rising or dropping

      1. JasonG123
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Price sites don't work very well during DGWs.

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          But surely they can't be this far off. They're not even at 80%. I would wait, but your choice

    2. Going Home
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Why would you get rid of Son (DGW) and Auba (up there with the best recent form)??

      1. JasonG123
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Because I'd rather Kane than Auba and need the funds from Son. Son is also a chance of a rest right before the FA Cup.

        1. Going Home
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          As is Kane...

    I have SanChez and Willian. Watched scoutcast and now I have second doubt. FHers; is Willain still in your team?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      What did they say ?

    2. Going Home
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Think the value of Willian means that he's worth the (very real) rotation risk

    Afternoon,
    Bit of advice needed, am I good to start this team or is it worth a hit to bring in another DGW, possibly someone like Lingard for Shaqiri?.... but he would be useful for GW35.

    Also Kane or Lukaku TC, any thoughts?

    Season defining GW or is that every GW. Cheers

      Looks good to me

  28. JasonG123
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Which move?
    (A) Son and Auba to Lingard and Kane
    (B) Son, Gross and Auba to Pogba, Oriel Romeu and Kane

  29. Transferred Out
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Can have one more UTD player, would you go Lingard or Valencia ?

    1. Goonsquad245
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Which two do you have?

      1. Transferred Out
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        DDG and Bailly

        1. Goonsquad245
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Then I would go for lingard

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Valencia

  30. Hart-ake
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    How does this look for 35?

    Pope

    Mee Fernandez vvd Kiko

    Salah Arnie Silva/Sane

    Auba Barnes

    Any key player(s) I would be missing?

    1. Goonsquad245
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Two more Manchester City players wouldn't go amiss

    2. Going Home
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I'd make sure I had Heaton on the bench. And check on Mee's fitness. And have more than one City player. And more than two Liverpool players

      1. Hart-ake
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Issue is that I've got Kane as my 3rd striker. Could hokey-cokey Firmino in and put but is that worth two hits? Maybe not.

        Ideally though, you're right.
