I'm now pondering 10 doublers plus Aguero. Elmohamady as the cheap 5th midfielder. 😮
Schmeichel
Ivanovic, Skrtel, Schlupp
Hazard, Fabregas, Sterling, Henderson, Elmohamady
Aguero, Vardy
Subs: Ospina, Giroud, Chester, PVA
Beauty of this is I can swap Fab and Sterling in GW36 for Sanchez and Silva, giving me 3 Arsenal for GW37 and a transfer to swap Vardy for Defoe.
Ok
Nice team but not sure you want double Leicester defence or two hull players with one on your bench?
My wildcard has chester on the bench as well. he's cheap and can play gw36 when liverpool are at the bridge
Will be watching silva closely today. Main question on my wc is going with one of silva or fab or trying to squeeze both in. Presume I few will be in the same boat?
Keeping Silva till the end of the season. He has been in sizzling form as of late though, just unlucky to not get returns.
See below re Fab, is he a genuine option?
My current WC team is with both in:
Davis
Skrtl, Ivanovic, Schlupp
Hazard, Sterling, Silva, Fabregas
Aguero, Kane, Vardy
Subs: Krul, Bertrand, PVA, Boyd
I'm not so happy with it though. I would prefer to not have Vardy and probably Giroud as I don't like all of my money in midfield.
@ Pat Bonner Thank you
Your insightful comment helped enable me a team of Rambo Giroud & Alexis for the Arsenal DGW while retaining 7 DGWers.what's your team looking like?
Is Fabregas a genuine option for the rest of the season? Or will he revert to his usual post-christmas form?
Just seen your tea, so you're one of those huh?!!
Two sweeteners. I know, couldn't help it
- Tips for navigating the run in
Your tips for navigating the final few weeks?
- Don't underestimate the potential of a DGW - but don't get DGWers for the sake of it (Hull players)
- Don't be scared to take a punt or two - time is running out
- If you're playing catchup, a captain punt (especially during a DGW) can be very rewarding
Add yours below...Don't get Remy, the twat won't play and you'll get bitter.
shite strikers are still shite strikers.
spuds defence sucks and blows simultaneouslyThat last tip is season-long 🙂
True enough 🙂
where was this tip in GW33...!
Plan ahead, make sure you have an easy way to load up on arsenal for gw37
I'm WCing for GW34 and will ensure I have Giroud in at ready to go for 37. Then an easy switch from Sterling after 34 to Sanchez.
-4 hit is actually -2 if the player you bring plays both DGW games.
Hits could be crucial
- Hit's are a lot less expensive so don't be scared to take them
- DGW keepers from small teams can be great for saves (e.g. Schmeicel)
- People underestimate the value of DGW defenders, two clean sheets and theres 12 points before BAPS.I can't really see any team getting double cleen sheet during GW34. Liverpool maybe?
Captain ivanovic says hello
Yep, wouldn't be surprised with a Liverpool double. Chelsea an outside chance however they could concede in both too
Henderson=3*sterling
I think you said the most important, don't get players for the sake of it.
Don't worry about saving transfers. The more DGWers you have, the more likely you'll have the ones who score big giving you a 100pt+ GW.
Always captain a DGWerVery true. DGWers have so much potential.
Take hits to bring in the best dgwers. This will minimise your losses if you haven't got a WC.
Great point AT.
Yes, I think it's all about damage limitation this week for those of us with out a WC
Don't be snobby about players from relegation threatened teams - this is the time of year they come alive, especially the attacking ones.
Yep that's another great point. A quick look at the stats shows that some relegation-threatened teams e.g. Leicester are basically going all-out-attack. We've also seen that recently with QPR and Villa too.
Unless it's Jermaine Defoe then be as snobby as you like. 🙂
If you dont' have a WC, cover the high ownership players / penalty takers / nailed on form players. They will do more damage to you if they score big than Vardy will
...more damage to you if you don't have them...
Don't get players from teams that have nth to play for. Examples would be West Ham, Stoke etc. Higher chances of rotation with managers trying new formations and tactics.
Fully agree with all of those. I'll just add to it by describing it instead as a mentality.
- Be more aggressive, don't make decisions out of fear but with courage.
- Back yourself, don't look to backtrack on decisions made unless you are willing to concede defeat and accept the lost ground on those decisions. Sometimes patience pays off, this is a courageous choice.
- Even if you are winning the conservative approach can open the door for those who are chasing, stay ahead of the game and you'll stay ahead of your mini league.
Be wary of rotations... especially from teams that are done with the season, e.g. Chelsea in a couple of GWs
Don't be fooled into thinking DGW players perform better than they usually would just because it's a DGW, notwithstanding Benteke and Austin's recent fireworks.
mane to hendo,cout for eriksen,remy to vardy for me,and dont mind keeping them all in as all have decent fixtures in run in
Get lucky. There's no substitute for that. The nearer we get to the end of season the more of a punt every transfer becomes because the time for decisions to pay off (or not) gets smaller and smaller.
Someone ask me that..
How important luck is in FPL.
All your planning and stuff can easily go into vain week after week if your luck has ran out. As it is the case for me for last 6 weeks now.
Agree with this, one of the most important factors in deciding between how well serious players do in comparison with other serious players. Some people give themselves handicaps by making poor and questionable decisions, but the vast majority on here don't.
Don't start rigidly sticking to dogmatic rules that you read on FFS comments. 😉
Captain Hazard.
Hear hear
Seems like it's another woeful week. Lots my spot as ML leader after 30 GWs.
Time to go all in.
Krul, Bertrand, Erik, Mane -> Courtois, Skrtel, Sterling, Hendo for -12?
Would leave me with
Courtois
Skrtel Ivan Clyne
Sterling Hendo Silva Hazard
Kane Kun Vardy
I feel like the hit would pay off, big part of it with just minutes played points.
Do it! If you're now chasing you need to take risks to catch up
That's what I feel. Liverpool has nice fixtures after the double and I'll focus on loading up on Arsenal before GW37.
All those moves are worth it, go for it!
I'd skip the Krul to Courtois move and do Erik to Fabregas instead of Sterling. Save you 4pts and gives you a nailed attacking player instead of a defensive player who may get rotated. Also think Sterling could be out of sorts. Wouldn't be surprised if he gets rested or underperforms generally
Well, gotta assess Sterling tonight I guess. If he does well I'll be really scared hiding behind the couch.
Yeah, that's the great thing. We are about to get a shop window view of Liverpool's DGW assetts before we buy
I'm feeling quite yolo though and don't mind taking -12 at this point. Fabregas might be a good idea, so maybe Erik, Mane -> Fabs, Hendo and Krul, Berty -> Mignolet, Skrtel? Doubling up on Liverpool defence seems reasonable.
Currently on this lot for the double:
Myhill
Huth Terry Bertrand
Hazard Fabregas Sterling Siggy
Kane Aguero Giroud
Hammer PVA Dawson JWP
Any of these worth -4 or -8?
A) Siggy to Henderson
B) Kane to Vardy
C) bothA for sure
A
A
Hendo it is then!
for all the -4 = -2 so can take more talks...on another note if u take a -8 and someone gets similar team as u without any hits u are still 8pts worse off
take more hits*
Good stuff.
brought in bolasie, could have brought in sterling and played baird and gotten the same points as bolasie.
now will have to spend 4 points to get the same team i could have had for free.
was bolasie over baird for a 1 week punt worth a -4?Yes imo. Watching the highlights he was very unlucky to not be in the points
In hindsight obviously not.
At the time yes.
strange question.yes i meant at the time. just really annoyed that im gonna take -4 to get the same points and team i could have had for free. trying to make myself feel better but saying that it was just bad luck.
Did the same move however he was unlucky not to score, he's still worth keeping for Hull game..
Sounds like Bolasie was a one week punt for you. If so, the transfer cost to get him out next week was always there which means he was -4 before kick off and playing Baird was the safe option.
Here's me for next wk:
Panti
Ivan skrtel Baines
haz sterling coutinho Silva
vardy kun giroud
Have Bruce, puncheon Cameron benched. Any suggestions?Plan for Rambo from wk 35 with Giroud
My thought exactly
How is this:
Kane, Eriksen, Ozil, PvA
----->>>>>
Vardy, Hendo, Sterling, Moreno
-8
??Very good
Good transfers but you'll probably want the last two back in for gw 37
So. Costa. Get rid or hold? Any news?
Still have him? 😯
Yep. Draft league. Patience is virtue.
Haha, way more fun though!
Where are you playing? Fantrax?
Thanks buddy!!
Enjoyed that latter especially. Informative.
😀
This will be team for DGW :
Migs
JT Skrtel Wolly
Hazard Cesc Sterling Silva
Gru Kane Kun
Myhill Clyne ameobi Cawson
6 dgw'ers & -4 hitGtg
Looks good. Who captain?
Sterling or Hazard
Dont forget DGW 37
Would that allow you to get Sanchez & Ramsey or Sanchez & Mertesacker for the DGW?
If yes, go for it.
I have gotten the same front 8 but with Vardy instead of Kane, but I have a definite way of getting Sanchez & Rambo with Giroud . It has meant sacrificing Kane & Skrtl, but I presume attack is the way to go in that DGW.
Ok gents what you view these moves? I'm currently 28 behind so need to be mindful for GW37 too
Pants
Ivan Terry BERTRAND
Hazard ERIKSEN Silva Sanchez Bolasie
Kun Vardy
Myhill Kane Bellerin PVA
BERTRAND >> Skrtel
EIRKSEN >> Henderson -4
GW35
Kane >> GiroudDo it
Thanks will do once I've viewed the Liverpool FA cup game.
Could be lovren+sterling ?
A) Courtois + Skrtel
B) Mign + Terry
already got IvanA

Anyone looking at Cresswell for their wildcard squads? Lovely fixtures...
I would be wary of any player who is likely to be "on the beach'.
Just caught up on yesterday - Leighton Baines is a complete ninny, that's twice he's turned down a penalty whilst in my team, probably costing me 9 points each time. What's the issue? Do we think he has the yips?
I don't know but from I can gather it's his fault and tbh I'm rather cross with him. Jags stated in a post match interview that Lukaku is now the number one pen taker but as he was off the pitch Barkley thought he'd have a go a Baines being Mr Nice said nothing. Meanwhile you've got Coleman running across the pitch having a go at Baines for letting Barkley have go.
It's bad from form from all of them including Martinez who is danger of being bullied by his players at this rate. All this stuff coming out like Lukaku telling the manager that they want to play etc. Imagine doing that with Moyes in charge! Lol.Yeah, I'm annoyed at Baines and Martinez mostly, can't believe what's happened to be honest.
Now to go back and read the reaction at the time... 😉
I can't bring myself to do that. Pages and pages of "LOL@Baines owners" no doubt
I was reading bbc text updates and my heart sank when I saw Everton Miss Pen, so I was actually quite relieved when I saw he was shunted off pen dutiesEven worse - Daniel had Baines and filled several pages bemoaning his bad luck!
What was once possibly the most "together" dressing room for the last 10 years looks to be falling apart in the just 18 months under Roberto. It's a shame as I had high hopes for him
Results are going the right way at the moment though, next season will be interesting.
Yep funny thing is the poor season doesn't bother me. It was always expected with the first go in Europa. It's the indiscipline that genuinely worries me. It's all about the third season for a new manager IMO. That is when he will be judged at Everton.
* how they want to play.
I know, the pen situation is very frustrating, just from a fan perspective. Baines really needs to grow a pair. It's been a very odd season! I'm a little more sympathetic to the the lukaku situation. He just needs the ball deliver infront, to run onto, but the general lack of fluency means he's going early and constantly blown for offside. I think it's taken this much to get the message over to Martinez, who just has plan a. And no, none of this would have happened under moyes!
My two cents, Martinez wants lukaku in the goals to justify the outlay of bringing him to Everton. Baines New haircut might also have something to do with it, he's not as rugged 70s as he used to be
😆
But where does Barkley fit into this, is he responsible for Baines' haircut? The Delilah to his Samson?
Yes it was rather infuriating. Still, 7 points is a good return.
Don't make me see the positive side - I'm ill in bed and want to mope! 😉
😉
Looking ahead to next GW, I am likely to be chasing a c. 40 point deficit. Should I wait for the single GWs to gamble the captaincy or should I go for a season defining (one way or the other :grin:) non Hazard (c)?
With so much uncertainty around striker options for the DGW, what formation are you eyeing up?
The only striker I'm certain of for DGW34 is a single match player - Kun.
Options I'm considering
- Second Che defender (Ivan / Terry)
- Fabregas
- Moreno
- Hendo + 1 of Sterling / Coutinho
This will end up in a 442 or even 451, most likely.Nope 3-5-2 for me
Hend Sterling Cambiasso Haz Fab
Murray (maybe Vardy) Aguero
Man, what does one do with Remy? Stick for this week?
No WC so I'm sticking.
I've made my bed so I've got to lie in itSame. What a wasted transfer at exactly the wrong time of the season.
Morning all.
Any News on Nugent calf injury? How long he anticipated to be out? Worth getting him out for -4 for Vardy. Would kill me if he dont make it for dbl gw 🙁Wait on news - a lot can happen before the first game
Lose Bertrand or Cresswell for Skertl, Saints seem to have gone down gears and would like Cresswell for Burnley at home. Having said that Bertrand been a quality pick
Bertrand imo
How bad is Toby's injury?
Will he probably be back for GW35 or 36 at least?
CheersSee Tweets. Koemann said it looks positive but will have more news in the next few days. Assume he will be OK for the time being.
Who would you start?
A) Alderweirald (TOT)
B) McShane (cry, LIV)B
Right now, McShane. A week is a long time in Fantasy Football however
DGW Must-haves according to you ?
hazard and moreno + 4 more 🙂
Sterling
Hazard
CHE def
Hazard, Ivan + one of Terry/Fabregas/Courtois
3 from Sterling/Coutinho/Hendo/Skrtel/Mignolet
Fill in with 1 or 2 from Schmeichrl/Schlupp/Cambiasso/NDoye/Vardythats a lot of must-haves. That would be -12/-16 hit for me 😀
For a hit, Silva > Sterling or Naughton > Schlupp?
Which of these for the DGW?
A. Mignolet, Sanchez, N'Doye
B. Schmeichel, Sterling, Giroud
On WC. Want to keep 1 ARS so I can be ready for the next DGW without too many hits.
ThanksProbably B. That's what I'm looking at.
I prefer B. Have you considered Schmeicel/Ospina GK combination with your WC. It is what I did last week.
Has Ospina taken Chesney's place for sure?
😯
Serious question?Yes
Well let tell u this as an Arsenal fan. Chesney's most likely will be sold in summer.
He's nailed.
Thx
So if you have exact cash for 3 DGW players transfers today, will u pull the trigger tonight after game?
3 Liverpool players and Eriksen Naughton could go down soon, worried.Yes, i will probably do the same
Have Courtois, Terry and Hazard and 2 FT. Want to bring 3 Liverpool players for a -4 hit. Dont believe to Hull and Leicester DGW's. What is the best combo :
1. Moreno, G. Johnson and Sterling in for Alderweireld, Kompany and Eriksen
2. Moreno, Henderson and Sturridge in for Kompany, Eriksen and Giroud
3. Moreno, Henderson and Skrtel in for Kompany, Baird and Eriksen
4. Any suggest (Kompany and Eriksen needs to go) ?3
Am I good 2 go or maybe change something here for -4 or even -8???
Fabianski
TERRY - SKRTEL - SCHLUPP
HENDERSON - HAZARD - Silva - Sanchez
REMY* - Aguero - Kane
Subs: Panti - Boyd - Toby - PVA
1.5M itb for Remy -> Giroud move the week after...
*Boyd(LEI) first on the bench If Remy won't play which is not so bad I think
Any suggestions???
