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.
Is Everton - Palace game in gw35 even possible?
Who knows? They're going to have to squeeze it in somewhere.
but do Everton have cup game in gw35?
Yeah I think it's pencilled in for that weekend but not confirmed yet.
Yes at the weekend, but nothing scheduled for midweek
Yeah, against Palace
Sorry, I mean yes but the opponents will be found out after the United West Ham replay
Re-repost. Could use a few opinions guys.
No wildcard. Does this seem like a reasonable gameweek 34 bench boost team in that case? I can get there with three hits. Eleven double gameweekers. One transfer for gameweek 35 gives me a playing eleven.
Butland, Elliot
Bellerin, Funes Mori, Dawson, Clyne, Fuchs
Payet, Mahrez, Ozil, Firmino, Lingard
Kane, Aguero, LukakuLooks good to me. Kane can easily outscore dgw strikers like Martial, Ighalo, Deeney etc.
Might even keep him as a only sgw playerYeah, I said that last night. Even if I had my wildcard still, I'm not sure I'd get rid of somone like him just to get fifteen double gameweek players.
@ Kompany owners. If there is any.
Who is your replacement? PVA?
Dawson or Evans for me
Thinking Williams with a WC around the corner.
I'm thinking Bellerin. Double gameweek and plays gameweek 35.
In your case thats good option.
Altough maybe wait if he is fit for dgw34? Seems waste of Ft to transfer out dgw player for another
Yeah, I'm benching Kompany this week and saving my transfer till we have more information. It actually kind of helps this week in a funny way. I was struggling to decide who to bench.
I went Clyne for 2 DGw's
I think I'm going to go for Sakho instead and save 0.5
I would. Klopp has started rotating Clyne and Moreno with Flanno now he's fit.
I think Sakho is more of a risk of rotation. Clyne missed 1 game for a rest. I doubt if it is a rotation risk.
I've 2 FT's, so no saving.
Either the most safe 6-9 points from Williams, or a punt on PvA
Not replacing yet but probably getting back Bellerin if I had to.
Sakho I think. Double, with GW35 (NEW)
Defence is:
Elliot (Hennessey)
Toby Simpson Wollscheid (Kompany VVD)
2FT. Planning a GW33 WC. Which move?
(A) Hennessey to Fabianski (Use AOA to play Payet (che) and bench Wollscheid (war))
(B) Kompany to Williams (save AOA)
(C) Both A and B and save AOA.A but I would ship Elliot instead
Thanks. Fabianski the best option over the next two?
Do you agree that it's a good week for AOA? Only other weeks I could use it are 36 and 38.Wouldn't bench Payet. Just play it 🙂
Fabianski or Foster for the next two.
I do like how the ticker now neatly shows GW33-38
The end is in sight!!
The end is in sight but so much left to go! This worst season ever could be turned around it seems
Anyone having trouble trying to log onto fpl on their phone?
It keeps re-directing me to the App Store.Fine for me
You got one of those annoying ads. I had the same for other sites maybe 6 months ago
I've got this issue. Have you managed to sort it?
Hey all! Finally the DGW have been announced
Without reading anything on it how does this sound?
GW33: WC
GW34: Bench Boost
GW37: Triple CaptainIll also be playing AOA this week 😉
This is my exact plan wight the AOA as well. Wish Kun had a DGW in 37 not 34 though.
Hopefully some of my rivals aren't aware that wildcard and BB can't be played in same week
This...so much this
Most of mine have already played their chips 😉
Think a couple of mine are confused on this too.
For those who have played their wildcard, what is your plan for GW34?
A) Take hits to have 15 DGW players because the stars are aligned for BB.
B) Bring in as many DGW players as possible using FTs while keeping good SGW players and still BB (probably the most realistic option).
C) BB another time (is GW35 an option -- 6 out of 7 fixtures are top half teams vs. bottom half teams).B but with a WC to use
So that's roughly 11 DGW + 4 SGW players?
I presume you're keeping Mahrez and Kane?
B for me. With three hits I can have the following team
Butland, Elliot
Bellerin, Funes Mori, Dawson, Clyne, Fuchs
Payet, Mahrez, Ozil, Firmino, Lingard
Kane, Aguero, Lukaku
Eleven doublers along with Butland, Fuchs, Mahrez and Kane. Going to bench boost too and one transfer gives me eleven for gameweek 35.Sakho rather than Clyne but that's the gist of it.
Are you wildcarding after GW34, Cilly?
Nah, I don't have a wildcard left unfortunately.
That's not really B is it because I'm taking hits. I can't read. 😀
Sorry I guess it's down to the confusing options! Scenario permutations is giving me headache. o_O
I know, me too. My missus is already getting fed up with me on my phone researching it all. 😀
Researching. Now that's a fancy word for a game. 😀
Worried about lindgard minutes?
A little. If I could afford to just do the other transfers and keep Alli I would but I can't and I don't see a better option for 5.1 or less.
Cheers Cilly I'm looking at the same pair of goalies. They do rotate nicely.
How can you tell if anyone has played anyone of their chips?
Cheers ladsPlease, gravatar.com
Also, gameweek history
Look at their gameweek history page.
Cheers lads
Any reason not to do Kompany -> Williams today (wc33 so only need replacement for two weeks)? Any better options?
Thinking of doing the same together with Vardy to Lukaku.
If you like punts could you get Sturridge for Vardy?
Williams might get injured by saturday. Just sit tight and wait.
Injured in training? Swansea don't have any games before Saturday, do they?
Wouldn't be the first player injured during training session
True. I bought Kompany for 6.2 so I can afford one drop, but I'm starting to worry about funds for my gw33 wildcard. If I want say
Firmino Payet Mahrez (keeping) Özil Wijnaldum
Aguero Lukaku Kane (keeping)
I don't have too much to spend on defensive players.
I posted with same issue below, down to Ivanovic, PVA and Dawson for me
I have 4 DGW's for GW 34 and strangely I feel it is enough with future transfers.
I will keep Kane Mahrez Alders anyway which means I will have 8 DGW's by that time barring injuries and still have 11 playing GW35. I will get in Pool Everton x 2 and maybe a hit to cover the loss of Kompany which a few will do anyway. Payet and Lukaku on the bench for GW 35 but will get DGw's anyway later. Mahrez will go GW36.
make sense?Need a Kompany replacement for two weeks
Ivanovic, PVA or Dawson (or other? I own williams and 3 Spurs)All great options. Ivan playing as CB not so good option and I think West Ham will win it.
PVA is slightly better in attacking terms but Dawson more likely to get cs.Yeah just need to pick one. Ivan strangely seems more punty than the other 2. It's the Villa fixture enticing me
Well get Dawson this gw and Ivan next gw
Are you wildcarding in GW33? If so, Dawson looks like he has the best fixtures (but is a slight injury risk).
No interest in azpi?
I spend 6.2m on Kompany, use him once and then you guys go and break him.
Stop it!I'll take those 9 points and run.
A lovely 9 point honeymoon period for us
Same my friend.
He did you a favour last night, better than happening 10 min into a dgw! Shame for Kompany, had been good this year.
Anyone considering TC 34 and BB 37?
that or GW33, BB34 and TC37.
I will look TC 34 maybe but base my decision on who is in the hunt for points. Scared of rotation Gw37. Feeling Oxil TC GW34 atm.
15 GW34 DGW'ers and 11 GW37 DGW'ers requires three Liverpool players from GW34 to GW37. Firmino's obvious, and a defender or keeper looks a decent shout, but who are you getting as the third Pool player ?
Milner if I still have my WC.
Milner and Moreno most likely. After being disapointing option Moreno double digits in dgw is written in stars
Firmino, Moreno and Mignolet, most likely.
So Firmino, Ozil, Payet, Lukaku and Aguero are pretty much essential for the first DGW (as things stand)
That leaves 3 remaining offensive spots. But how can we justify dropping any of Kane, Ali or Mahrez?
Im not bringing in Ozil tbh
First name on my team when wildcarding
Will 100% sell Alli and Mahrez but might keep Kane. Don't like the other dgw strikers.
Maybe Martial, Rooney, Deeney but they all have blank gw35
Why would you sell Mahrez? He has over 200 points already?
Fwiw I'm keeping Mahrez and Kane. Alli out for maybe Wijnaldum?
You don't have to.
Interesting.
Using only FT I can get the below:
GW 34 - 9 DGW + Kane (Who I want to keep) + Butland / Forster
GW 35 - 11 Playing with 1 FT
Might be worth holding on to BB and WC for me for GW 37 and going with TC in GW 34?
Lads do you think Rojo and Jagielka are nailed on?
Jags 101%
Rojo might get rotatedThis apart from Everton fixture pile up.
Is Rojo first choice? Who challenges him for that spot?
and,
A. What is Utd's first choice back four?
B. What is Utd's current back four?A. Looks like Darmian - Smalling - Blind - Shaw
B. Now is Varela/Darmian - Smalling - Blind/Carrick - Rojo/Blind
AFAIK. I'm not sure if Rojo is nailed on. Same issue here. Hopeufully things become a bit clearer by the time we have to WC.Cheers Dr X, very useful...
Morning all. As I don't think it was registered in the DGW madness yesterday, my latest FantasyYIRMA article:
http://fantasyyirma.com/2016/03/15/tottenhams-harry-kane-keeps-it-interesting-at-the-top/btw. What does YIRMA mean?
Best def for Kompany over next 3?
A Williams
B Dawson (or wba other)
C Ivanovic
First to three.
Anyone else feel a TC would be better in GW 37? can't see any juicy fixtures in GW 34, city have newcastle, but away, arsenal at home to dogged west brom, payet TC GW 37?
UFPL question. Sorry if this is obvious but I can't find it in the rules. In a DGW can you substitute a player out and then back in again for their second game later in the week? I assume you'd lose their first set of points but being able to do this may still be useful. Or once you've subbed them is that it for the week?
Is Jags still first choice at Everton?
Yep, though I'm concerned about either him or Funes Mori making way for Stones at some point. Jagielka is the most sure starter of the 3.
Yes. Team captain to boot
When KDB is back, Kun may no longer be essential. Has Aguero ever yielded decent pointdls in a dgw?
Hmmm...it's a brave man to go without both.
Striker slots will be crucial. Might be worth keeping Kane instead of Kun.
Lukaku looks set to rise tonight, guess he could rise once more this GW with DGW news spreading. Otoh Vardy fixtures : cry - SOU - sun look better on paper than ARS - mun - wat. Though I'd fancy Luka to score against Arsenal if not away against mun and wat.
So Vardy owners, keeping or selling for Lukaku this GW?
Id have done it if it was free
Keeping and selling for him next week.
Still got 1 ft left though so might end up doing it.
Also thinking better wait until next week, but then otoh I'll need all the TV I can get for wildcard. But if Lukaku should blank this GW, his price rise may come to a halt for now
Not buying Luk till 33.
Already made the move, Everton are more free scoring than Leiceter right now. Lukaku can really bully Arsenal
Arsenal surely tighter at the back than Crystla Palace ?
Don't forget there's a 5 minute silence midday to remember those without a WC.
Haha (can you write "haha" in English? does it make sense?).
Yeah
I prefer"hee hee". Both better than LOL though
Hasn't everyone kept their WCs for these dgws though?
Nope.
Even Granville has used his.
Thanks GB. We appreciate it. 😉
Any news on when the date for the Everton - Palace match will be announced?
Do I need need changes this week guys?? I have 2FT
Butland, (Henessesy)
Toby, Huth, VVD (Bellerin, Richards)
Siggy,ArnieMahrez, Alli (Ozil).
Kane, Aguero, Vardy
