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.
Hey guys just wondering which goalkeepers you were considering if wildcarding gw33?
I'm currently on
Robles-Ospina/Cech
DDG Schmeichel looks okay.
But Robles Elliot looks good also
Mignolet
Cech
DDG
Have the best fixtures for 34-35I hadn't thought about mignolet. Cheers
As ugly as it sounds Mignolet might have become "essential"
Too expensive combos I fear. Think I'll be looking at Cech/Robles or DdG/Elliot. Adrian also in contention.
Robbles and DDG
Leaves you without goalkeeper in GW35 though. Could still be worth it
Both blank in 35
What about Adrian?
Also dgw in 37.
DdG + Adrian surely looking good, though a tad expensive.
Adrian I like
Ah...good point. May have to keep Joe 90.
ouch
Which are arsenal three are you going with for wk34?
1. Bellerin
2. Kosc
3. Cech
4. Sanchez
5. Ozil
Thanks
1 4 5
Which three are you going with?
Got 1. Tempted to go with 4 and 5 only because their defence can be suspect
1, 5 and possibly Rambo/Gru.
"Kompany suffers 14th calf injury since joining Man Cit"
Vincent Kompany set to miss Manchester derby and could be out for at least a month with calf injury - Sky Sports
--
Hart is the best route to Man City defense?
Without Kompany im not too keen on having Hart
The keeper is the Hart of the defence.
The biggest issue is will a WC and BB in 33/34 be worth it if you're keeping Mahrez and Kane. Means just 13 DGWers on of them being a keeper and one probably a defender.
I'm a bit unsure about this whole thing now. Shucks.I will stick with Mahrez for sun, SWA, WHU games and go with 14 DGWers .. ditch him in GW36
WC36 instead.
I dont like the prospect of having to do surgery on a team for the next 5 weeks if I WC GW33, plus losing Mahrez and Kane is too much for me.
Ramsey should be back for the DGW and offers us with poor TV an alternative to Ozil/Sanchez
Was just thinking that.
All this WC talk and I'm sitting here looking at my TV with tears in my eyes.I hear you. I mocked this up last night. So bloody weak in coparison to others
Robles Elliot
Monreal McAuley Simpson Clyne Moreno
Ozil Payet Firmino Lingard Sanchez
Aguero Lukaku Ighalo
Selling value of 101.8
With those ARS fix, I'm thinking of Ozil and Rambo.
Aye, my first draft had Bellerin Ozil and Sanchez but the rest of the team is guff. If I get Ramsey I can get DDG over Robles.
No one considering Giroud as an option?
Not even Wenger.
Was but prefer Martial as Giroud would be rotated with Wellbeck surely?
Oh god i completely forgot that Wellbeck existed ^^ Yeah doesnt look too good now :/
If either was nailed I would definitely consider for a dgw
Game time concerns I presume
I was...until I remembered Welbeck.
Play Gomes (STK) or Hart (MUN)?
Otamendi and Kompany maybe not playing
tough, but Gomes with both their CBs out
My planned dgw team so far for 34 using only free transfers.
Elliot
Sakho Bellerin Smalling
Ozil Payet Firmino Silva
Aguero Martial Lukaku
Forster King Jagielka Daniels
No BB available though 🙁
Very good 11 that.....can you improve Elliott to Cech or DDG or even Migs?
Yep plenty of cash for any of those, was thinking DDG as United double up vs Palace and Villa would almost be 2 clean sheets
Agreed....
Re WC teams for 34 -
guessing this is the most template team
Ozil Mahrez Firmino Payet X
Lukaku Aguero X
the options im looking at, which will decide how much i can spend on defense -
1. Coutinho + Martial + 1.1 cash
2. Sanchez/KDB + Ighalo no cash
Ighalo has a much better GW 33 than Martial. Can easily sell him for Defoe in gw 35 as well.
Not convinced about Coutinho's gametime though, seems to get rotated a lot
Hi Zoph, prefer option two myself. Thinking of going Sanchez too as its hard to pick someone past Ozil and Bellerin.
hey mcnulty! been ages, hope you doing well. will take your advice on board, thanks!
I was surprised to see how little gametime Coutinho has had lately. Would stay clear
Anyone got the balls to drop Aguero?
Why would anyone do that? Best striker in pl, dgw coming and no blank
Cash money $$$$$$
Best 2 week replacement for Kompany? Dawson?
Butland/Hennessey
Kompany/Alde/VVD/Daniels/Fuchsdawson or williams
If you can't double spurs / Lei def I would and most likeyl will get Dawson
Williams for a high % 9 pointer
Swans defensive stats are still poor. I think they concede
They are noticeable better at home
I agree the stats are poor, but it's Villa though. As good a chance of CS.
Van Aanholt, Williams or Dawson I suppose
Thanks all!
Playing AOA this week, 1FT & 0.7 ITB
Butland
Toby / Williams
Ozil / Arnie / Mahrez / Eriksen / Siggy
Vardy / Kun / Kane
Ruddy / VVD / Targett / Smith
Yeah why not. Anyway a stupid chip.
Butland (Elliot)
Williams - Toby - Kompany** (Simpson) (Cook)
Mahrez - Sanchez - Payet - Alli (Arnie)
Kun - Vardy - Kane(c)
2ft 0.9ITB
Who to replace Kompany with for the 3 next weeks?
And also worth doing Payet -> Firmino?
WC in gw33.WBA fixtures are decent short term.
Tough call on Payet/Firm.
Team at present.
Forster
Wolly, Simpson,Alder
, Payet, Mahrez, Siggy, Eriksen
Aguero, Kane, Vardy
Henn, Ozil, VVD, Daniels
, 2ft and 0itb
Thinking
VVD and Vardy to Lukaku and Olsson?Decent shout, or just do VVD to Olsson?
Jonty. Where are you? I have my scoutcast question ready
No more facial hair questions, thank you.
Have both Birmingham and Villa ever been in championchip at same time?
First time Villa have been relegated, so no they haven't.
Since prem league started. Villa have been relegated before in 80s.
Villa have never been in the Championship.
For everyone who is asking for a RMT/ help on their team these days, I think it will better to include ''Not wildcarding before 34'' or ''wildcarding in 32/33'' for more accurate responses.
You get that as a pop up in the browser when you log into the site
i wish Kun get injured before WC in GW33 !
Why?
Just about as classy as the guy in your username
mangala nailed now yeah?
I'd rather burn the cash
😆
lol cheap route into defence, cant bank on the rotational prone full backs can we..
What is liverpool's preferred cb pairing when skrtel is back?
Is sakho a safe pick? I can feel myself buying moreno despite all my inner voices shouting at me.Moreno is not even safe anymore, now that Flannagan is around. Sakho is a better pick than him.
Cheers.
Sakho has started every game when fit. The other spot just goes to who's least worse between Kolo Skrtel Lovren
That is a tricky call!
So essentially we need to roll out FTs to have 2 for GW35, and have 9 players from Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal and West Brom to ensure a full squad in GW35?
Correct. Although some will keep the likes of Mahrez, Alli and er, Dawson.
the main problem I have with my future wildcard is that I'm absolutely set on
ozil mahrez firmino payet
aguero lukaku
which basically only gives me two options to think about and not that much cash to fill them!
milner and deeney is one option
lingard and giroud another
not sure how I can fit another city player in there...
Nobody looking at Lennon?
or Antonio?
I am. Care to give my team below a look?
Ringo?
Antonio yes, Lennon I'd avoid due to rotation
Not sure I can trust him just yet.
Can I get some feedback on RMWC33T #547?
DDG Elliot
Mori Bellerin Sahko Dawson Rojo
Ozil Payet Firmino Antonio Mahrez
Kun Luks Kane
0.3 ITB to ride Luks preemptive price rises, so that I can punt on Williams/Traore etcGreat for 34 but leaves you exposed for 35
Rule is 5+1GK blankers in gw35 is enough with rolled FT's?
nope
5+2=7
Need more ManC imo. I would want KDB / Silva / Yaya
Why?
Silva = crap
KdB=haven't played for months
Yaya= ok, maybe
1. no keeper in GW 35...silly
...actually lots out for GW 35....
😕DDG Mori Rojo Payet Antonio Lukaku?
sorry, my bad you have elliot for 35.
6 out for 35...so how you fielding 11 in 35? If you WC in 33, you have 2 FT's by35.Benching DDG.
5 other blankers, will need to sell 2 and bench 3.
Payet and Luks are blanking, so must play 4-4-2 if I want to keep em both
Quick one. Whom to play this week?
A) Azpi - WHU
B) Dawson - NOR
CheersB all day
This
B all day
So I reckon DGW34 I'll be without;
Sanchez - Silva - Payet - Coutinho - Barkley
They're the only ones that would worry me unduly.......Cech - Mignolet will be my GK pairing...
Sanchez and Payet are nailed on in my mid
Sanchez just too expensive and Payet can be Antonio I figure.....
Sanchez over Ozil?
Who is more indispensible between Kane and Mahrez? It's gotta be the latter innit? Fookin' hell. I can't do this WC nonsense. I'm going to go and sleep.
*former
Right thats it. Logging off.Mahrez
So DGW finally confirmed. When are people thinking of using there Triple Captain chip, DGW34 OR 37 and who?
34 Sanchez
Best Kompany replacement?
Morning FFS! What did i miss? 😀 When are teh DGW's? Who plays? Wait. That was so this weekend.
How is everyone?
If Christina is reading this, i am bringing in Janmaat and Deulofeu.*scribbles on back of hand....
Damn it. My plan is blown now!
