In spite of a five-match Gameweek, there’s still plenty to pore over in our first members’ article of the week. We cast an eye over City’s troubles on the road, Bournemouth’s upturn in output, Marko Arnautovic’s home comforts and the contrasting fortunes of Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy up front in recent matches.

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

    Best striker to fill the 3rd striker spot in his WC team? 8.5m to spend.

    Cech, Adrian
    Kosielny,Smalling,Mori,Moreno,Dawson
    Ozil,Firmino, Milner, Payet,Antonio
    Aguero,Lukaku ?

    Martial? Really?

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Martial or Iggy

    2. Enzo the Baker
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Hang on to Kane, IMO. No need to go for 15 doublers even if you are playing bench boost. Just look at Kane and martial's fixtures in gw35

    3. Je suis le chat
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Hope you've not pulled the trigger yet. Possibly needs Kane and Mahrez.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        No not yet. Week 33. I won't be losing much value on Mahrez.
        I may downgrade Smalling > Rojo and keep Kane as my third striker.

    4. GoonerByron
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Martial, Deeney, Ighalo

  2. thegaffer82

    I only have 3 DGW34 players in my current squad. Even with my 2 ft's I'm nowhere near getting XI DGWers so I'm pretty much glued to using my WC in GW33.

    Messing around with a few drafts I'm finding it hard to put together a team I'm at all happy with.

    There's pretty horrible fixtures for West Brom and Newcastle in GW35. Being limited to 4 from Utd, WHam, Watford, Everton & cpl is very prohibitive for maximising returns in GW34. I'm struggling to pick 3 viable Pool players. Same goes for City as well to be honest. Then there's the loss of Kane & Mahrez from our squads altogether.

    Anyone else using WC in 33 stressing over all this?

    1. The Generalator
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yes stress

    2. Koflok
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      No. Dont lose Mahrez. Easy. Might only have 2 from Liv, City, Ars and still no fuss about it.

      1. thegaffer82
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Even keeping Mahrez doesn't radically change how crappy looking most of our squads will be after GW33 WC

        1. Koflok
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Tbh Im very happy with my team GW33 onwards, baring 1-2 bench slots post GW that needs confirmatiom

  3. The Generalator
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    People who are WCing for the first DGW, are you beating the price rises and doing it soon, or waiting until just before the GW?

    1. Mr Sarcastic
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I already activated my wc to beat price rises, fun times.

      1. The Generalator
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        So that's a yes then ?

        Such a shame as I have good team lined up with the old squad 🙁

      2. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Already ?

        Couple of weeks to soon there me thinks ?!

    2. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      GW33 (i.e the last possible date) as I'm pretty loathe to lose my Spurs & Leic players

    3. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Activating straight away

      1. The Generalator
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks

    4. Enzo the Baker
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Activating it as soon as games kickoff this weekend. Tinkering over the international break is always fun. Also I think a lot of WC will be played just before gw33 so transfers may not count towards price rises that week

      1. The Generalator
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        This is very true !! Thanks

      2. Je suis le chat
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I like this plan, I might hold onto value added players like Mahrez until near the end of the international break for safety.

        1. Enzo the Baker
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Same, I might hold on to Kane and Mahrez anyway. Then save FT in gw33.

          Finally, if there are no injuries to my DGWers and I'm absolutely sure I want to get rid of K+M I'll do it on the Friday evening before gw34. At least that's the plan

  4. Jazz!
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is Koscielny nailed on to play both games in the DGW34 (as well as GW35), do we reckon?

  5. Saniul
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I need to decide if I am gutsy enough to triple captain Sanchez. If I do, that's the only reason I am getting him... The team is really messed up if I get him!

  6. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Vincent Kompany, na na na na naaaa....! I guess that 100% nails my GW33 WC

    1. TheEgyptianKing
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Is Kompany injured or not having heard

  7. _Gunner
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Good Morning All,

    Who to bench from my forward 8 please?

    Mahrez Silva Payet Alli Siggy
    Vardy Kane Aguero

    1. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Silva.

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Ditto for me

        1. Evs
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Although I don't have Payet, but Ozil instead

    2. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Consider benching Vardy maybe? Very rarely gets a big score (3 double figures all season) so if he does score points, then you'll probably only miss out on a sub-10 score anyway

  8. TheEgyptianKing
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Judging by all the rumble, looks like we all found wehn the DGW's are

    so the question is, Gw 33 or Gw36 for the wildcard (if thats right lol)

    1. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Former.

  9. Gianfranco Zola
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Who are the leading triple captain candidates at the moment?

    I'm thinking Aguero (GW 34 che, new) Ozil, (GW 34 CPL, WBA), Lukaku? (GW 37 lei, sun)

    Does the lack of options in GW 37 make bench boost more suitable for that week and thus wildcard in GW 36?

    1. Koflok
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Whenever Everton is having their TGW, Ill triple capt Lukaku then

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Well... You would be crazy not too 😎

        1. Koflok
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Evs-approved 😉

      2. Gianfranco Zola
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        What are the chances of a triple GW?

      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Add Sanchez, Payet and Smalling to these.

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Ozil ?

          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          ?

          1. Lateriser 12
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            You've been smiling at my posts. Makes me nervous.

    2. Psakhotherapy
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      all of these, plus Payet & Firmino...maybe even Studge (yes, I am that far behind in my ML)

    3. boombaba
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I like the look of Captain Ozil

      WC36... Means you only have to suffer 1 week after the BB with a team that you dont want.

  10. Koflok
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Its down to Alli vs Wijnaldum for me

    Alli : MUN sto WBA
    Wijnaldum : sot SWA MCI liv

    Still leaning towards the former?

    1. Squiggle
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Alli being significantly better away from home is a consideration.

  11. Kryten
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Was hoping for advise .... I Wanted to know how many people have used chips in top 100k were is the best place to find this?

  12. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Help me out please. Which move to make?

    A) Kompany ➡ Dawson / Williams (bench Silva, play Alli)

    B) Silva ➡ Özil (bench Alli, play Cress)

    Toby-Simpson-Kompany (Cress,Belle)

    Payet - Mahrez - Siggy - Alli (Silva)

    1. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A. PvA.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks Jazz. I just think Dawson offers as good goal threat than Pva and better chance to get cs.

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Anyone else care to share opinion?

        2. Jazz!
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Live a little 😉 PvA is a lot more attacking and I think Norwich will get a win imo.

    2. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years

      A for me

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years

    McCarthy to Robles this week insane or..? Other keeper is Forster, ready for bench boost GW 34. Very happy with the rest of my team this week

  17. Fitzy.
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Apologies if it's already been mentioned, but is the FPL site not working properly, or is it just mine? Tried rebooting, clearing cache, different browsers etc to no avail. Not displaying properly, mostly just text...

    1. Clumsy Sakho
      • 10 Years

      Mine just directs me to the labrokes app on the App Store everytime

  18. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    @koflok not made up my mind. Just weighing up all scenarios.

  19. Clumsy Sakho
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    When you say wildcard gw33, is that after gw33 or before gw33?

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Prior to, maybe prior to gw32 in my case.

    2. Blame It On Rio-ddermorten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Before the gw33 deadline. This is because you can't use two chips in the same GW, and the wildcard counts as a chip. To be able to use bench boost in gw34 you therefore need to prepare your squad with the wildcard in GW33.

    3. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      As soon as GW 32 has kicked off. Then roll the FT gained in 33.

  20. TheEgyptianKing
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is the best thing to do i make a team really good for the next Gameweeks? untill gw 33 and then wildcard

    1. Jafalad
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yes - play the fixtures/form each week knowing you can boot these players come WC in 33.

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Take it one gw at a time. I might get Williams for Villa, then Che assets could be good for gw32. I'm thinking of having at leadt 1 vs Villa each week.

  21. Blame It On Rio-ddermorten
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Good morning! Everton fans, is Robles the first choice for goalkeeper, and is it likely to stay like that for gw33-37? If so, Mignolet/Robles seems like the best pairing.

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      It looks that way.

    2. Sjaugen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Hjelp, we really need liverpool defense don't we?

      1. Blame It On Rio-ddermorten
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Since we "have to" have three from Liverpool, I'm going to use one of those spots for Mignolet, I guess. And with so many midfield options from other teams, Firmino is probably the only Liverpool attacker I'll get. That leaves Moreno or some other defender for the last spot, I think.

  22. Jazz!
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Lads. A or B (don't have BB)?

    A) Cech / Ruddy
    GW34: CPL, WBA
    GW35: sun
    GW36: NOR
    GW37 (Ruddy): MUN, WAT

    B) DDG / Schmikey
    GW34: AVL, CPL
    GW35 (Sch): SWA
    GW36: LEI (or mun)
    GW37: nor, whu

    Last time. Just wanna gather thoughts. Thanks in advance!

  23. Red devil 56

    9 years, 8 months ago

    Ryan and lateriser I had decided to do wc 36 but then the sheer number of options that are available in gw34 is huge.
    Also essentially the plan was to get 11 dgwers in 34 and wc 36 with the plan that was posted here we can now do wc 34 and get 11 dgwers in 36. This also reduces the rotation risk problem and gives fts in 31 32 to try punts!
    So you sticking to wc 36 or twisting?

    1. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Weighing it up still. Remember we aren't bound by our decisions until 33.

      1. Red devil 56
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        But then we have to decide what to do of the two fts we have now take punts for two weeks or prepare for 34.

        1. Lateriser 12
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I'll be planning for 36 as of today.

        2. Lateriser 12
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          There are a few advantages of 36 WC. Like holding Mahrez, Alli and Kane for 35.

          1. Sjaugen
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            My WC 36 plan got cancelled yesterday.
            No Chelskie dgw 34 and Kompany a doubt.

            Join the dark side and wc 33!

    2. Blame It On Rio-ddermorten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I have way too few dgw'ers for 34 in my current setup, so I'm sticking to the wc33-plan. Good luck to you, hope the other plan works out for you!

      1. Red devil 56
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Good luck to you too mate!
        I have 6 players currently for 34 and 5 transfers so should get 11 in 34 barring any injuries. But still considerling wc 34 the only negative point is losing spurs licester.

        1. Blame It On Rio-ddermorten
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Yes, I think I've decided to keep Kane and Mahrez throughout the whole dgw-bonanza. At least through gw33-35. Maybe taking a punt on Martial gw37, but I honestly think Kane is capable to get more points in a single GW than many others in two.

      Set your team up and play wc in 33 because you can not play your chips in the same week as the wildcard. Load up on dgw players.

      34 - play BB chip and fill yer boots.

      37 - play your TC chip and fill yer boots.

    I am WC gw33, so till then, I am taking it week by week. I am 75 points ahead of 2nd place in my ML, our teams are pretty similar. He brought in Sanchez last week before their blank was confirmed. Should I do the same to block? I was thinking Ozil but would Sanchez be a better buy. Or any other trade?

    Butland, Henns
    Walker, Azpi, Fuchs, Bellerin, Kompany,
    Mahrez, Payet, Arnie, Alli, Siggy,
    Kane, Kun, Vardy

    Thanks
