Paul We now check in with the form of a number of Double Gameweek 37 candidates in our regular analysis of the members’ Opta data.
Man City’s attack shows no signs of complacency since clinching the title, while Southampton appear to have reason for optimism in their bid to beat the drop.
Meanwhile, we assess the recent showings of Spurs and Leicester’s frontmen, while Man United and Chelsea’s midfield make a late claim for our attention ahead of Friday evening’s deadline.
Taking a - 4 to field this team.
What do I do now??
A....willian to Arnie - another hit
B....morgan to naughton - another hit
C....stick with what I have
Ddg (Ryan)
Alonso vert morgan (lowton tarko)
Eriksen sterling willian gros (mili)
Kane Jesus (tc) ayew
Thanks
Probably C although I'd be tempted to get rid of either Willian or Morgan too
A or stick, imo.
a and b
-12
OK, going to pull the trigger, just posting one more time just so I don't walk into another D. Silva situation like last week 🙂
Bailly, Salah & Barnes - > Van Der Hoorn, Sterling & Jesus (-8) Yay/Nay?
Ill probably do Willian - > Arnautovic (-4) too but not tonight
Only if you can get Salah back without taking a hit.
Not without a hit.
Silva & Vardy - > Salah & Wood (-4) or something similar
Not bad. I'd personally only do it if I could get him back without a hit but it looks good, to be fair.
Agree with PB . I do like the moves but if it means getting salah back for a hit. That's at least 12 points your giving away...
I could sell Vardy instead of Barnes
Vardy and Leicster are on their holidays it seems. I'd probably prefer Barnes yes. Been impressed with him. Vardy has a tendency to always come back to bite you though. At least in my experience
Go for it bro
Cheers. That's what I want to hear 🙂
I'd always advise you to wait for the press conferences.
Yep, so would I but there is little alternative to this move. Jesus & Sterling essential and Van Der Hoorn is already at basement price
If you can afford to wait, definitely wait
I can't. Jesus rising or Salah dropping rules this out. I won't do Willian - > Arnie yet
VDH is not a necessity, surely? A cheaper defender than him could buy you some time.
I looked at VDH when I wildcarded last week. I remember his minutes being sporadic.
yes to both
Do you think Fernandinho (and some cash in the bank for a rainy day) is a better pick than the likes of Lingard and Gross for this week?
No
Hmmm, could be. I've always had a soft spot for Gross though
Cheers, yeah it will likely be between Fernandinho and Gross.
Is this wildcard or something ? I’d say Gross out of the two if so
Thanks!
No, I need a Willian enabler to do Vardy to Jesus.
Yes
He is a Bap magnet and always has a few decent pot shots
I’d say he’s equal to Gross.
I have Gross and happy to play him, not excited but he can do a job. Nailed with some potential.
Thanks all. 🙂
Definitely
I'd be bordering on yes myself. Lingard is a nightmare to own in my experiences. You would think Fernandino is likely to play and does seem to get chances. Groß hasn't done much at all bar annoy me with that penalty so not sure why people like him so much . It depends what you do with the spare cash I guess also
Cheers, Pumpkinhead. Great points, hadn't really thought about the possibilities with the spare cash. I'll have a tinker tomorrow. 🙂
yes, for the doubles i prefer nailed players, otherwise whats the point. Salah an exception of course 🙂
Do you prefer Fernandinho over Gundogan then? 🙂 was leaning towards Gundo just so it'd hurt less when he starts ahead of silva one match! But in answer to your Q probably yeah...
Hey man! 🙂
Yeah, I think I prefer Fernandinho because he's much more likely to play twice (unless Pep says something which implies Gundogan should start both). I think David Silva will be back for the Brighton match and even Toure may be handed a start. Gundogan's stats are marginally better but Fernandinho holds his own. Penalty area touches are almost identical and Fernandinho even comes out on top on assist potential.
Ahh, good thinking. I can see why you might be more inclined to go for Gundogan if you have Silva. Makes sense.
And thanks. 🙂
Cheers! Good points 🙂 would be a real bummer if I did that and then it was Toure, KdB and Fernandinho 😉
Best def up to 5.7?
Monreal(if they out of EL)? Smalling? Danilo(if Walker out)? Other?
Arsenal always concede. Smalling or Danilo if Walker is confirmed out.
I really like Danilo.
DDG (Karius)
Vertonghen, Mawson, Smallling (Lowton, Long)
Salah, Son, Sterling, Arnie, Zaha
Jesus, Vardy (Murray)
1.7 itb 0FT
IS KANE ESSENTIAL FOR ME? Advice please?
I think that team is gtg. After last night i don't think Kane can be classes as essential anymore.
Anyone worried about Spurs 2 DGW Fixtures?
WBA & Newcastle have become very resolute at the back
Agree
If I decide to TC Jesus I'll be praying they stay resolute at the back 🙂
Prefer city mids over Eriksen/ son
Nah, can go either way, but it’s best to have them in case they do well, and we know there’s every chance they can against West Brom and Newcastle.
Newcastle have been very poor of late as well.
Yes, that's why I just changed my TC from Kane to Jesus. Harry looked a bit lacklustre last night!
Yep.
Yes - if you consider how many shots on goal city and spurs will have over their 2 dgw37 fixtures - there can only be one winner.....
That's why I'm thinking Jesus for rd instead of kane
You get weird situations if you don’t.
Say sometime TC Kane and doesn’t have any spurs mids.
They could lose out on rivals for every Kane goal.
It’s tough to take in a situation like that so people wanna stock up
Yeah, it's worrying. Kane is no longer the surefire TC choice.
RP:52 point lead on main rival in money league.
My team:
DDG
Chilwell Christensen** Lowton
Salah Son Willian** Sterling Gross
Jesus Kane(TC)
Ryan Morgan Barnes Dunk
Rival:
Pope Adrian
Mustafi Ota Davies Tark Yedlin
Sterling Pogba Ramsey Mili Salah
Kane Auba Barnes
both have TC left
How do I neutralize the threats?
Jesus to Auba (TC)
Willian to Dilva worth a - 4?
He'll surely play one of the doubles and also last game of the season?!
Sterling would require a - 8...
I don’t like it for Dilva.
The -8 would depend what it is. Would have to be a couple of upgrades.
Already have Sané and Jesus... Is that enough city cover or is there ever enough this season!
Willian to dilva just seems sideways for a hit
It’s tough tho and there’s no right answer. You gotta go with your gut, listen to press conferences then get lucky !
not dilva
Milli to Arnie for -4 worth it?
That'd mean I'll have to take a hit to bring in Salah at gw 38
Yeah I’d say it’s very much worth it. Arnie has some very nice upside.
Go for it. Not long left now
Why are so many people saying sterling is likely to miss one of the DGW?
Have i missed something or is it guesswork
Guesswork
Guesswork
People are scared
Coping from non-owners. Same as people saying Alonso will miss one.
Not likely imo, but possible. 2 games in 4 days and Sane and Bilva have had their rests.
2 out of:
A) Sane/Dilva
B) Son/Alli
C) Pogba
D) Arni
Cheers
Sane and alli
A,B
Sane + Alli
When will Naughton rise in price?
That's the question on everybody's lips.
My mum phoned me earlier and asked me the same question.
Start of the year is a nightmare as starting XIs etc moulded
International breaks cause havoc
Xmas a nightmare for rotation
New year nightmare
Champions league causes havoc
League cup havoc
End of season rotation a nightmare
Fpl life
What do you think, will Ramsey play next two games? Thinking about Willian to Ramsey for a hit
He will prob get injured Thursday. So wait and see
Don't do it
Cheers, only left is to hope Willian will play
I don’t see any chance he starts both.
03/05 - Europa League
06/05 - Premier League (BUR)
09/05 - Premier League (LEI)
13/05 - Premier League (HUD)
16/05 - Europa League Final (IF Arsenal Progress)
The breaks (including Thursday match) are:
3 Days > 3 Days > 4 Days > 3 Days
In any scenario, I'm waiting to see the outcome of the Atletico match. If Arsenal progress, Ramsey is a no-go. Even if they do not, I can see Wenger playing Ramsey in the final game; maybe one of the the DGW fixtures.
I feel with the fixtures, one of the BUR/LEI match he may be rested with.
Not sure...
I can’t imagine Wenger playing Ramsey on 3/5, 6/5 and 9/5. Three matches in seven days for a brittle player with the World Cup around the corner.
Why prefer people Arnautovic and not Pogba as Willian replacement? Thank you!
Plays up front.
The main man in his team.
Cheaper
He is great, looks like he can score against anybody
Price difference?
Who scores more:
A) Naughton and Arnie (-4)
B) Fernandinho and Otamendi
C) Smalling and Otamendi
I’m leaning towards C. Of course Arnie could haul, but C is the most likely winner, right?
Chance for Bednarek to get starting line up for remaining games?
Willian to Tadic?
I'm surprised people are so averse to taking a hit or two for this DGW. Of course it's always a risk, but it can pay dividends. For example last week I did:
Lukaku/Mahrez/Bailly > Jesus/Sterling/Davies (-8).
It gained me 16 points and a better lineup for the DGW. Bit of luck with Lukaku, but we're all playing the odds.
Yours is a perfect example but kind of biased.
There’s some big time roughs around from similar moves.
Definitely biased. It's a game of luck after all. Proof it can pay off though.
Because there's other teams that have planned ahead and brought in Jesus, Sterling and Davies for free or -4.
Not averse to anything, just a simple case of whether B(-4) outscores A for me. If that applies to each hit, I'd even take a -20.
No hits for me this week, but I took a -8 last week instead just like you in preparation.
Mainly because it means taking out one DGW player for another, which defeats the object somewhat
Best differential this GW? I’m thinking Hazard & tempted to get him. Would depend a lot on them beating Liverpool otherwise could see him missing Huddersfield though!
Yes
I don't think he misses Huddersfield, but it's possible. There's a week between the Newcastle game and the FA Cup final.
Danilo
Alli
Arnie
See if Gooners get dumped out of EL
A. Bailly, Salah & Barnes - > VDH, Sterling & Jesus - 8. Hit for Salah gwk 38. Have to do tonight
B. Bailly, Salah & Vardy - > VDH, Sterling, Jesus - 8. No hit for Salah in gwk 38. Will do Friday evening
Will play Gross if I do B
b
Do you still have Mahrez?
B
B
Wood, Shaqiri=> Ayew, Arnautovic (-8)?
of course
Looks good
I did Valencia and Gross to Naughton and Sane.
Good move?
It seems kind of sideways to me
I don't think Gross will do anything against United and City. Max 4 points on him.
Valencia maybe one cs against Brighton, 8 points on him.
Think Naughton could get an assist and maybe 2 CS. It possible Swansea will play good this DGW.
ok
If Sane play both games I think he could easily get 15-20 points.
No one thinking about getting Hazard?
I am but I’m ranked 100k so hoping he can be a differential & make up ground.
I am after kane's performance last night.
out: Salah VVD
In: Sane Smalling
Already on -4
I have enough money to bring in Salah for gw 38 without any hit
If I do Milli > Arnie for another -4 I won't be able to bring in Salah without a hit.
So does this move really worth it?
Best 5.2 or under defender in the game other than mawson
Is it cresswell if Danilo not nailed from pep'S press conference??
I've gone Cresswell as a differential
Yeah enabler for me also has good gw38 fixture
yeah he enabled me to get Tadic for Ibe 😉
naughton, burnley
DDG
Vertonghen, Otamendi, Fernandez (Morgan if injured)
Sterling, Son, Kenedy, Salah, Mili
Kane, Jesus (TC)
Have 1FT, I’m chasing so thinking Salah -> Hazard then reversing it for GW38 also for free?
Which mid is the best to replace Willian? Already own Sterling, Salah, Lingard, King
8.4m to use
I'd go arnie, or maybe son
Son was my plan till yesterday's performance. Thinking most of Silva or Arnie now
Silva (maybe a risk because he was or is in Spain), Pogba or Arnautovic. Sane is more than 8.4.
I don't fancy doubling up mids from United. Pogba hurt me roughly before.
Really need Stephens to start again for Southampton 🙁
Is Sterling rising today??
