Next, we take a look back at the post-match data in our usual members’ analysis of the previous Gameweek.

We skew our analysis towards Double Gameweek 37 assets, as Man City, Arsenal and West Ham’s attacks all feature. Meanwhile, Newcastle’s form at both ends of the pitch is also assessed prior to their favourable weekend fixture and double-header.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Scenes if:
    A) Salah benched/out of squad and either blanks or doesn't come on (more likely to blank though)

    Bigger scenes:
    B) Anfield Express say Salah is, but Salah is out

      AE nailed if a few times. I’d trust them again.

      If Salah blanks, it’s part of the game. It happens, so that’s it.
      Also, if he doesn’t play, I’ve got Barnes as a first sub (BHA at home).

      In my head, the Anfield Express Guy is just building up to the moment when he’s planning to triple captain Salah and then will release the team sheet with him on the bench.

    Surprised that Kane is so far ahead in the poll this week. He's off form & Salah is on fire.

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      100% guaranteed to start though

    2. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Playing minutes could be a key factor to consider.

      Both are good options imo.

      Salah is going to have to be wrapped in cotton wool until the next Roma game, I think. So much depends upon Salah's contribution to ensure a place in the final.

    Is a MCI Midfielder essential this GW or can it wait until the double?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years

      I’m waiting to see what rotation shenanigans Pep has in store

    2. FPL Scoop

      if you dont have already, i would wait another week and see

    3. arndff_
      • 14 Years

      I went for Sterling last night. Hope it’ll pay off.

    4. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Wait for sure. There are going to be some scenes on here when Pep announces the team...

    5. AllanM
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not essential. They’ll be rotated and take turns with the points.

    Really hope Ox is able to make it back in time for the WC. Been thoroughly improved since joining Liverpool, would be a massive shame for him if he can't play this summer (I'm not English btw)

    What are you Mahrez/Vardy owners doing?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Some are selling, some are keeping.
      What are you doing?

    2. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Hoping He scores. Mahrez that is

      1. FPL Scoop

        8 years, 1 month ago

        this

    3. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      (Mahrez only) Unsure, but will probably end up keeping the faith just given the fact that he has decent dgw fixtures, and ive got other things to sort

    4. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Keeping both probably, although may sell Mahrez to Sterling if Sterling gets a rest this week

    5. yakirh
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sold Vardy last GW
      Keeping Mahrez for now

    6. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Selling both for Kane and Kenedy! Then Gross and Valencia out for Eriksen and Lascelles next week.

  6. t4thomas
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I am on a wildcard and planning a bench boost next week.

    Please let me have your thoughts on this team:

    Hennessey
    Kompany | Smalling | Lejeune
    Salah | Eriksen | Sterling | Arnautovic
    Kane | Jesus | Perez

    Fabianski | Dummett | King | van der Hoorn

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      jayew instead of perez.
      i wouldnt have kompany tbh. someone cheaper, which would allow you to...
      upgrade king.
      also dont think arnie is essential. if arsenal get knocked out of EL or look likely to, ramsey better pick imo

    2. bloomooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nice, any way of upgrading Hen to a dgw keeper.
      I'm on Vinnie too but fear rotation.

  7. Kuzser

    HELP please (0ft, 1.2itb):
    Planning to make 3 transfers for gw37 and TC Kane

    What option is the best:
    1) Lukaku -> Kane, alli/son->city mf and Alonso ->verto
    2) murray->Kane, Alonso ->vdh, son/alli-> iwobi/Kennedy
    3) Lukaku ->Kane, murray ->ayew, son->silva/sane

    Ddg Ryan
    Smalling lowton tarko Morgan Alonso
    Alli son sterling gudmundson Willian
    Lukaku Vardy Murray

  8. MGD
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Have to decide tonight, bc of price rises... Please advice a undecided old man..

    DDG /Ryan
    Alonso / Smalling / Mustafi / Lowton / Morgan
    Alli / Mahrez / Son / Willian / Grob
    Lukaku / Vardy / Barnes

    A) Lukaku + Alonso -> Kane + Cedric(-4)
    Then Vardy -> Jesus or Willian-> Dsilva/Sane next GW

    B) Lukaku -> Jesus and wait with other transfers and forget about Kane all together.

    Really need a TC option for DGW..

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      no city mid?

      1. MGD
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        No, i need a definite TC option.. Can't risk a TC being rotated 🙂

    2. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Get Sterling

      1. MGD
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I could get Sterling for Mahrez for free next GW 🙂

        But as i said above, want a guaranteed TC option. Are the transfers OK? Or am i being blind?

        1. Boberella
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Not convinced on Cedric. And unless it’s purely to free up funds, Alonso could be worth keeping for the DGW
          Definitely Lukaku to Jesus.
          Not keen on both of Son and Alli. Spurs look tired. I’d lose Son as risk with minutes.

    I am on a wildcard and planning a bench boost next week.

    Please let me have your thoughts on this team (will wait for Anfield Express):

    Hennessey
    Kompany | Smalling | Lejeune

    Kane | Jesus | Perez

    A Barnes

  11. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years

    I’d love to know if Rose is fit or not.

    Bavies nailed on for the season would be lovely.

    1. Bissisine
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes please find out. We must know. Would be great witH Bavies instead of Vert

  12. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Klopp saying they need to focus on Saturday is just another way of not letting the players worry about Roma and over think things.

  13. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Very likely that Ox's season is now over 🙁

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Missed it, fit for the World Cup?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Not if it's ACL as feared.

    2. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Hope he makes it to the world cup

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Hopefully! Gutted for him, improved so much this season.

        1. Fantastisk
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          He still seems pretty inconsistent when I've seen him.

  14. Marquis-Cha-Cha
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Lingard flagged on FFFix. "Achilles Injury. Potential Return 29/04/2018". Not on the FPL site.

    Anyone read anything about this?

    1. Ibracadabra
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Have not seen that but do remember that Alli raked his boot down Lingard heel on Sunday.

  15. Boberella
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I’m struggling here. Am I really benching De Gea and Auba this week?

    Hennessey
    Tark Smalling Kompany
    Salah Sterling Kenedy Alli Milivojevic
    Barnes Vardy

    De Gea Auba PVA Chilwell

    Burnley, Alli and Kenedy have plum home fixtures, so the option would be:
    Play De Gea, and swap Auba for Mili, but feel benching Mili is always a risk.

    Any thoughts chaps?

    1. Football Rambler
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah this is ridiculous.

      Play Auba over Barnes, Mili or Kenedy.

      DDG less of a risk but I would play him over Hennessey personally

      1. Boberella
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks mate.
        Yeah, think I should play Auba. Kenedy probably the likely mover.
        Thing is, if I’m backing Auba, then it’s against De Gea. Think the keepers will return the same points. Both will concede I reckon so it’s all about the save points.

  16. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years

    Anyone else just get a text from Klopp asking if they can play on Saturday 🙂

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He told me to keep it to myself

  17. Je suis le chat
    • 12 Years

    Wow Bobby better record than Mo in CL; 11 goals and 6 assists to 10 goals and 4 assists.

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He gets to pass to Salah though.

  18. Football Rambler
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    A) Mahrez + Jesus

    B) Salah + Vardy

    ?

    1. yakirh
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      This week B
      Next week A

      1. Football Rambler
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        And now until the end of the season?

        Can only afford to bring one of Jesus and Salah in. Currently own Vardy and Mahrez

      2. Boberella
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This indeed

    2. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A

  19. VardysParty
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Sane or Silva?

  20. SomeoneKnows
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Would you take -8 points hit in order to do:
    Mahrez + Alonso + Lukaku > Salah + Smalling + Jesus ?

    Current team is:
    De Gea
    Lowton, Vertonghen, Morgan
    Sterling, Son, Willian, Mahrez
    Lukaku, Kane, Barnes

    (Ryan, Cork, Alonso, Marriapa)

    1. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      That’s a tough one.
      I’d be doing what it takes to lose Lukaku and get Salah. Alonso to Smalling a good shout to free up cash. Can you do it with losing Son instead of Mahrez?

      1. SomeoneKnows
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yep, could make that happen, however I'm a bit discouraged given Mahrez's current form, and his fixtures are also worse than Son's

        Another alternative is taking the -8 hit in order to do:
        Mahrez + Alonso + Barnes > Milivojevic + Smalling + Jesus

        or do nothing at all for this week and then take only a -4 hit next week after I re-asses players forms etc...

        1. Boberella
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah this week is killing me. Not having Salah could hurt you this week, but it’ll take hits to get him. Maybe just try and Save FT this week and have more options next week for the DGW. Think that’s what I’m doing.

  21. cutch
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    A) Eriksen + Gross
    B) Son + Willian

    Thanks in advance!

  22. Catastrophe
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Anything worth a hit?

    DDG
    Otamendi, Tarkowski, Lowton
    Willian, Sterling, Salah, Kenedy
    Kane, Jesus, Barnes

    (Ryan, Gross, Valencia, Mustafi)

    Cheers

    1. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      That looks pretty solid.

    2. Better off with a pin and a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No, don't think so. I'd need a 12 point hit to get that team and am thinking along those lines!

  23. ZakAFC_
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Any ideas? Happy to take -4

    DDG
    Vertonghen, Tarkowski, Lowton
    Salah, Mahrez, Groß, Willian, Son
    Kane, Vardy

    Ryan, Christensen, Murray, Morgan

    Would you do
    Mahrez > Ericssen for -8?

    1. Football Rambler
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Impossible

      1. Football Rambler
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        If it's a -8 then post the full moves if you want an informed opinion

    2. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No. Not for -8

    3. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You mean sell Mahrez and buy Ericksen, then buy Mahrez back only to sell him for Ericksen again?

      Nah, I wouldnt do that.

  25. Our Tiny Windows

    Money no object what defender for the rest of the season?

    1. Football Rambler
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Alonso

    2. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      vert

  26. Daniel Exeter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Son + Lukaku > B. Silva + Kane?

    Yes or no?

    1. Football Rambler
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Could easily foresee Son starting and BSilva being benched.

      How would you feel?

        he was getting proper abused by some last week

    3. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not bothered

      Only 3 games to go so not having Salah won’t really matter. Sterling will out score him for the remainder of the season

      1. Football Rambler
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Easy to say, Salah could easily bag a 20 point haul if he starts on Saturday

        1. Syd.
          • 17 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          If he does start he will have to get those points before he is hooked with 20 minutes to go and Stoke are fighting for survival. If they lose against Liverpool they are doomed for certain so there could be a few savoury tackles

      2. Fantastisk

    For city mid or eriksen

    Or would anyone keep him?

    8 years, 1 month ago

    I am currently 80 points clear of my ML with those in 2nd,3rd and 4th place all having Sterling, Salah, Jesus and Kane as differentials (I have none of these)

    If you was me which 2 would you be most eager to get in for GW 36?

    Sidenote: If I got Kane in I wouldn't be able to get any of the others in with him unless I done a -8

    1. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      What’s your team if you don’t have any of those 4? And I wouldn’t say any of them are “differentials”.
      To pick 2 for GW36 I’d go Salah and Sterling personally

  30. LonesomePundit
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Aubameyang to Jesus (-4). Chasing mini league leader he has Jesus doesn't have Auba. Think I have to roll with Auba?
