We roll out the first in a series of members articles analysing players per position over their previous four matches. Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool’s full-backs arrive on our radar, whilst we also look to the defensive improvements by Norwich and Newcastle before assessing the contrasting recent displays of both Manchester sides.
Highest scoring player from gw 34
Scott Dann
That would be a god damn disaster. Tempted to buy him just in caseCant see 1 never mind 2 CS. He can score a goal though. Overall would have to say no.
It's unlikely but imagine two goals and two CS's
Would hurt De Gea, Smalling, Martial, Rashford, Cech, Kosc, Gabriel, Monreal, Bellerin, Ozil, Sanchez and Welbz owners. Just a disasterOf course it not only means you have got a nice diff but everyone who went in hard on MAN and ARS are in trouble. There are crazy defender diffs every dgw. Still I would want to be outside top 1 million for a punt like that.
Palace are a bit of an unknown package.
Provisionally I have gone for none but if there is a double in wk36 it completely changes the landscapeYes, that fixture not being announced really means we know nothing yet
Owned him since GW11 I think, and have enjoyed the jammy points 🙂 That being said, I am concered about GW34. I may sell for a hit (not wildcarding til 36)
I wouldn't sell anyone with a dgw for a hit, even if the fixtures are ugly
Cheers.
So you wouldn't consider Lukaku to Rashford for a hit if it meant that you could afford Sanchez (for triple cap) over Milner?
Not for me know, unless LVG confirms Rashford is nailed
Reading this article, made me think twice about doubling up on United defense, even if the fixtures are AVL and CRY
SInce I already own Elliot, should I maybe start him and spread the risk? Which would you prefer for GW34?
A) DDG, Rojo, Dann
B) DDG, Rojo, Reid (-4)
C) Elliot, Rojo, Reid
D) Elliot, Smalling, OlssonC
Cheers, I think C as well. If I can make 0.2 from Daniels and Dann in the next 3 weeks, I could afford Smalling 🙂
Another Daniels 18 pointer wouldn't hurt
Yes sir
+1
Cheers
How did this get here?
Any article advice for those who've spent their WC already?
Have not seen one. But everyone would be starting from a different point so
Hard to see how it applies to all in that scenario. All comes down to how many hits you are prepared to take.Yes, part of this article at the end mixes in advice for those who have spent their WC already.

Back to the short term, which to sell
A) Alli(liv)
B) Siggy(sto)
It's been 7 gwks since Alli scored but his assist form is great. As for Siggy, I'm tempted to sell him as he is not explosive and therefore can't hurt me too muchTough one, but I'd sell Siggy.
Cheers
As a one week punt i already sold Alli for Payet and kept Siggy. Just think that Siggy being on pen and free kicks swings it for me for one match only. WC in 33 anyway so both would've been chopped.
Siggy
Ivanovic to Walker was one of my moves of the season last week. Nice to see stats rewarded for a defender transfer.
Well done. These Spurs full backs are the cream there or at least would be if you could be certain of them playing. So cheap as well
Do you think Walker and Rose are now nailed for every game given the fact Spurs are chasing the title and out of every other comp?
No I don't. I have Rose but I wouldn't be including him in a wildcard side.
When I asked on here before most disagreed with me though.
OK. I have a few minutes.
Has the definitive wildcard team and date been arranged?Posted on previous page. May take a week or so for everyone to come around to my way of thinking 😉
I agree on the basis that I just don't think Spurs or LEI have great fixtures post 34 / 35 . I understand they are fighting for the league and have form but still.
Will take a look
ZK I do like your WC team. Not convinced by Mitrovic but I understand why you selected him
Stats and cheapness
Plus Newcastle will be fighting
Yep, it's where I am sitting firmly. Looks like we'll be sharing approx 11/12 players Zan.
Sounds like consensus is arriving sooner than I thought 🙂
Yes, here it is:
De Gea
Bellerin | Cresswell | Clyne
Sanchez | Ozil | Lallana | Mahrez
Kane | Aguero | Mitrovic
(Elliot - Lanzini - Coleman - Walker)Lallana & Mitrovic?
Lallana has played 90 minutes in 5 of Liverpool's last 6 games, Klopp seems to be a fan and I am too.
Look at Mitrovic's stats, plus he plays Swansea and City during the DGW, both at home.Will take a look at Mitrovic. Maybe I misjudged him
Where are the 37 dgw players? I only count 4 hard to get 11 out. Well cover for 34 and35 though.
Sorry my bad you have at least 6.
I'd want Payet in there somewhere. Otherwise looks great.
See below. 😉
Fuchs is in danger of losing his place for my 14th DGWer & becoming Clichy
No Hart or Kompany and two away matches?
EhJust an idea for now, probably won't happen, but you should also consider the fixtures either side of the DGW too right? WBA & STO, still as much of a chance of a cleanie as anybody else, likes BPS & possible attacking threat too
I suppose, expensive though and wouldn't be sure he'd play both matches
RMLHGW34WCT
--------------------------Elliot | McCarthy
S. Taylor | Touré | Holebas | Chester | Kelly
----------Anita | Ibe | Behrami | Yacob | Mutch
------------------Origi | Campbell | Lambert
42.1m ITB
Rules: Any suggested replacements must meet these criteria:
A) Have at DGW34
B) Not be flagged
C) Have played at least 500 Premier League minutes this season.What the hell does RMLHGW34WCT mean?
Have you considered Andy Caroll?
I did. I thought he could be useful.
Rate My Light-Hearted GameWeek 34 WildCard Team 😀
Is this a thing now?
Caroll would be in mine for sure and AyozeYeah, I saw Irish Madrista or someone post earlier a request for the worst possible DGW34 team. I thought I would give it a go. But I felt there had to be a few rules regarding minimum standards otherwise you'd just pick injured single gameweekers who rarely, if ever, get on the pitch.
I think I have wildcard draftitis. I don't think I need any more encouragement
I quite like the challenge. It's kinda scary that at one time or another over the last few years some of these players may have been in your team or that some of these players are only a few injuries away from being considered now...
Ha 42.1 in the bank. Love it.
Should have enough there to bring Kane back in GW35! 😀
His price is rising though. Will be very close.
😆 Might make 0.1 off him first. 😆
Sanity check. Only teams with a game in 35 and dgw 37 are LIV CHE and SUN. Correct?
And maybe Everton
Thanks. Never noticed that about Che before which should help get an extra one out for 35 who will also dgw37.
Thoughts on this WC GW33 team...leaving a few single gw's as I don't need a full punt.
DDG / Mignolet
Simpson / Rose / Monreal / Cathcart / Janmaat
Milner / Payet / Mahrez / Lingard / Ozil
Kane / Aguero / Lukaku
Gives me a safe 11 for GW34 although and set-ups well for GW37....only concern is a few rotation risks like Rose and Lingard...cheersDon't like the Pool/Man U GK coverage. Both have DGW's in 34 and 37 and you can only play one. Too much money invested there IMO.
Rose should be now nailed as Spurs only have the PL to play for and have no DGW's. I personally will punt on a DGW DF though but i'm chasing.
Lingard is such an enabler....we'll have to wait and see if he gets rotated though.
The replay of West Ham vs United doesn't stop any prem games right?
Is Olsson nailed?
Had him for months can't see him losing place.
Cheers, thoughts below so?
@zan Keroski
Nice team on the previous page mate - Im thinking similar.
Perhaps coutinho instead of firm if hes a doubt. Is lingaard naild? Too risky that.
Which liverpool defenders?Bare bones, good to hear from you
Yep firmino and coutinho are interchangeable
Waiting a week to see how skrtel fits in, could be any 2 of Moreno, Clyne and sakho
Lingard is a risk for sure but he brings balance to my squad as enabler whilst delivering dgw potential. Will make a call between him and rashfordI like the Mitrovic punt so will likely avoid rashford. I need a double mid for around 5m. May do Lanzini.
Here's something I've thrown together, 1st draft...
Robles Elliott
Monreal Sakho Smalling Reid Olsson
Coutinho Firmino Sanchez Payet Lanzini
Aguero Lukaku MitrovicHonestly not sure about Sakho. With Liverpool defenders I think the wing backs are more nailed.
I disagree, as a Liverpool fan I can tell you it would take a madman to drop Sakho. Skrtel and Lovren are disgraceful
I'm a Liverpool fan as well, Skrtel, just come back from injury and has a couple of games to get back in to the swing of things.
Lovren is terrible, but I still feel Klopp will rotate the CB's a bit.Ignore the terrible use of commas. First one was meant to be a full stop and the second I don't even know why that's there
Clyne is too dear, can't say Flanagan is nailed. That leaves Mig
I've taken a risk with Flanno, but Klopp giving him the (c) the other day gave me a little bit of hope. Moreno could kill me though.
Sakho will definitely get 90 mins, but it's just a case of whether he'll get 90+60 or 90+45It's less of risk imo though, I reckon Flanagan and Moreno will get one game each
Klopp has passed the armband around for fun a lotFair enough.
Personally I think Skrtel will be the most nailed by the time GW comes around. Shame he's a YC magnet thoughCapable of a goal though 😉
Very true 🙂
Really!? Skrtel is awful!
And I think you've both been a little harsh on Lovren. He's come good of late, and has put some top performances in.
Skrtel changed the game when he came on at the weekend, in a bad way. I'll be shocked if he starts now. Lovren and Sakho for me
0.7 itb that can be used
No Utd attacker for those fixtures? Actually not essential at all...
Nice team.If Rashford is nailed, he's in for Mitro. Otherwise I'm happy to go without
Like it personally I would have Ars double up in mid rather than pool
Or hammers. By this I mean Ozil if you can afford him. Good balance and 35 and 37 well covered too.Ozil, I can't afford unfortunately
Can get this out without WC33 or hits. What do you think?
HART
BELLERIN SMALLING* Toby
SANCHEZ PAYET COUTINHO* Mahrez
AGUERO MARTIAL* Kane
Butland Alli Williams Simpson
CAPS = DGW player. * = next 3FTs with Vardy, Siggy, Azpi out.8 seems low for 34. But if you are holding off to WC 36 and BB 37 it could work out.
Hmm I just don't know. I am wondering similar. If you didn't have the option of a WC you wouldn't hesitate on it.
Hart is out injured for 4 weeks right?
Deeney has scored every Watford goal over their last 7 pl games
So I think I can make this side for GW 34 without a hit and without using my WC. What do you think still WC or work it for GW 37?
Hennessey
Dawson - Moreno - Rose*
Coutinho - Sanchez - Payet - Ozil
Deeney - Kane*-Aguero
Subs - Forster - Alli - VVD - SimpsonClose call. TC on Sanchez and you could be laughing. Defence just a bit weak though.
For sure it could use a Bellerin in there. But is it worth the WC? I just don't know
Maybe a hit or 2 is the best compromise as you are very close to good 11 for 34
Maybe. I have certainly considered it. When what I want is players like Bellerin in it is tricky as teh players I would like to leave just aren't worth that kind of money
Draft 1 for GW34. Thoughts
MIGNOLET / Butland
BELLERIN / FLANNO / OTAMENDI
PAYET / SANCHEZ / OZIL / LANZINI
AGUERO / RASHFORD / KANE
Subs: Butland / Mahrez / Daniels / SimpsonKane wasn't meant to be in caps 😛
Also, no WC or chips left so I'll probably struggleI'm personally refusing to include Rashford in my plans in case he gets left our in gw 32 and all of a sudden I have to make lots of downgrades.
Although if he does end up nailed I will happily stick him in and upgrade othersThis seems like a good point to me
+1
I was worried about it, but if he doesn't get included as much in the next two then I can get Cout/Firm/Lallana instead and spend the money on Martial or Welbeck.
Rashford and Sanchez will be the last two players I bring in before GW34 deadline so they're easy enough to switch aroundWhat if Sanchez explodes and Rashford gets left out.
Just testing you hahaThen I guess i'd have to go for Ayoze haha
hi lads
hows your night going?
do you have any suggestions in regards to my team for the dgw34, using my bench boost too
de gea-cech
smalling-bellerin-sagna-clichy-fuchs
sanchez-payet-mahrez-firmino-coutinho
ashford-aguero-lukaku
thanx a lotLooks a good side to me. I think Ayew's comment regarding Rashford above is relevant to you
Actually I think we should hulk it and hot topic it for everyone. What a fantastic poster he is
indeed
lol
cheees for your comments as usual
this team is after wc week 33
so plenty time to fink bt it
if rashford plays centrally which he should then he a great valueFor sure. He is potentially a great enabler
Sure about double up city defence with no Kompany and maybe no Hart?
no ,mate not sure and thx
im finkink to replace one with either liverpool defender or huthmoving towards having 3 of leicester and their defence is bloody great
what would you do
?
my tv 112.8
but spent every penny on that team aboveYou already got the bases covered with Ars utd Lei city. How about Cresswell just make the budget at 5.7?
would do
but i fink if i have 6 out of man u/west ham/everton then i would need to take a hit to field a full 11 in week 35
but wud you take 2 leicester defenders and mahrez?
even thou they have no double weekEven based on how good lei defence is no. Not when there are dgw options. I am only keeping 1 non dgw player and that is Simpson but would not go to 2. There will be about 3 million with less than 10 in GW 35
3 million players ?
with less than 10 players in gw35?
not sure if i understood you ?
good feedback mate
ty
I was just googling Darryl Janmaat and it says his partner is Yoshi Janmaat. Do you think that is the same one from Super Mario?
More than likely
things are not what they seem to be
With my wildcard, triple captain and bench boost still left,when is considered the best time to use them.I almost feel as though iv left it too late.
w 33- wildcard
w-34 -bb
w-37 tcCertainly not to late. The optimum times are probably in conjunction with the double game weeks coming up.
Thank you all
now run free little fellow!!
Finally got a WC team i really like for GW33 despite my low TV:
DDG l Elliot
Bellerin l Clyne l Rojo l Dawson l Reid
Firmino l Payet l Sanchez l Marhez l Lanzini
Welbeck l Aguero l Lukaku
0.0ITB
What's your thought on it?wots the TV?
107.5
I like what I see. But Rojo scares me personally
yeah, Rojo is really a question mark. But he started the last couple of games and went off early due to the fact that he comes back from injury I guess. I hope i'll play both games...
clyne reid dawson
i would fink bt
wot bt huth/simpson/fuchs
would you take 2 leicester defenders to go with mahrez?I prefer to have DGW player. I would consider Fuchs but I have nothing in the bank...
ty 🙂
My thoughts are its looks really good no matter what the TV. Nice one.
Looks good and a little different. Ozil is probably the safer pick that Welbeck, who I fear will share minutes with Giroud, especially over the DGW.
Yes, not sure about Welbeck game time. But he currently is the one in form and Arsenal needs to win, I can't see why Arsene would take him out. I expect him to play 150min at least during DGW34
Watch out for price changes. When there is no wiggle room you could lose out before then
martial instead of wellbeck and ?
I prefer to have a lone striker instead of a player playing on the wing + Arsenal have a fixture in GW35
fair anough
i was finking welbeck to martial
and rojo to gabriel monrealThat could work out indeed. I will monitor that and I might be forced to change it to to injury or price changes
What 2 FT are you going to use in 35 to field 11, presuming you'll save your FT in 34?
Not sure yet... It will also depends if Lukaku has a fixture GW35 or not
Ya if we find that out before we WC it would be so helpful. I'm in a similar boat as yourself with the uncertainty over who to bring in and out with the 2 FT in 35
Got a scouse themed bench dilemma this week.
Play Ali away at Liverpool or Lingard at home to Everton?
Thoughts? Thanks in advance as always.ali
I'd give Lingard a whirl as Everton are kak at the back
Best combo here?
A) Ozil & Iggy/Rashford
B) Payet & Welbeck
Sanchez, Firmino, Mahrez, xxx, Alli
Aguero, Kane, xxxpayet/martial
B imo
Looks like Ozil could drop .3 this week. Injury does not seem a problem so is it all Ozil > Sanchez or something I am missing?
There will certainly be some. I am holding as I want both for the DGW
I'm torn between ozil and Kdb...
Arsenal fixtures right to end of season swung the KDB or Ozil decision for me. Arsenal fixtures just too good. Going with Sanchez and Ozil.
Good point. The 0.4 actually makes quite a difference for me too. Cheers
Cue KDB 35 point haul in week 34 !!!
Not sure he will. Transfers normally slow in the middle of an international break. Maybe another 0.1 (he hopes). I have to hold my nerve the anyway, as I want to keep him.
Wish I had the balls to do this wildcard without kun. It's him or Kane atm and fixtures say kun big time
What's your draft currently look like CHamp? Who you rolling with up top and in mid ?
form v fixtures
When will fpl update the fixtures?
Any recommendations on comedians like Stanhope or Jeselnik to watch?
Just realised that Otamendi is on 8 YC's, that could be a problem leading up to and possibly during the DGW.
Tempted to swap him out for Bellerin for a -4Wait till he gets 10. 😉
What if he gets 10 in GW33? It would ruin my plans haha
Are we not reaching the point whe the 10 card threshold is gone, and you need to be concerned when he hits 15?
Why so many love for reid?
WHU rarily get clean sheetRational or fans subjectivity?
Too many irrational point of views hereTwo games, and they're not awful ones. And two DGWs coming up
