After assessing the Defence and Midfield numbers over the last four matches, we turn our attentions to up front this evening. A number of double Gameweek options arrive under analysis, including Everton, City and Newcastle’s main men, whilst we also compare Arsenal and United’s strikers and doff our cap to Tottenham’s man of the moment after a series of scintillating displays.
Opinions please on this gw32 WC:
Ddg, Elliot
Bellerin, Dann, Clyne, Jagielka, Olsson
Ozil, Payet, Coutinho, Barkley, Bolasie(will become Wijnaldum for Gw34)
Aguero, Lukaku, Deeney
Gw33 - 5 dgw players and Lukaku TC,
Gw34 - 15 dgw players and BB,
Gw35 - 10 players,
Gw37 - 11 dgw players.
I personally would get Simpson instead of Olsson, I know he has a double but you can play him in 35, which makes the amount of players you have playing in total 34 and 35 equal. 15X2 + 10= 40 or 14X2+1 +11 = 40
Olsson plays Gw34 I guess, if not I am down to 9 then 🙁
oh my bad I forgot he had a game 35, i personally still prefer Simpson. Other options include Lascelles for Newcastle (2 home games 34)
He might lose his place if Colo is back... Btw thanks for the tip... Will keep an on Las.
Else good?
I'd get Delaney for Dann and upgrade Olsson for someone, maybe Creswell?
Needed a West Brom defender as they play gw35. Also have plans to make Dann to Azpi in gw 35. Dann is actually there for two dgws and as a placeholder.
Coiuld be gold, or you could come to regret having no Mahrez or Kane. But going without them could be a shrewd move. Don't particularly like Olsson or Dann though, don't think they will be worth it.
Can't keep Kane due to high price or it will ruin the wildcard... And don't know who to drop among the mids for Mahrez. Source of points in Dgws are sometimes very unpredictable.
Okay, cracked it I think. I can get Sanchez in for DGW 34 and then Sturridge for my punt.
Come down to this
A) Simpson + Sanchez up to GW 35
+ [Creswell for GW 36 & 38]
B) Bellerin + Mahrez up to GW 35
+ [Bellerin for GW 36 & 38]
Cheers
Could save money by having Reid instead of Cresswell
Dont really need the money by then
Cool. Was thinking you had to squeeze Alexis in, hence the possible need to save money
Cmon Norn Iron!!!!!!
Any issues with this WC team? (0.7m itb)
Robles, elliot
Belerin, rojo, sakho, clyne, fuchs
Payet, ozil, antonio, firmino, mahrez
Aguero, lukaku, kane
GW32 - WC Active
GW33 - Antonio > Lennon (= 3 DGWers)
GW34 - BB - 12 DGWers + Kane, Mahrez, Fuchs
Certainly no issues with your grav 😉
Who is she?
Michelle Keegan.
Thats right! 🙂
op's mom
Really like it actually... Btw why aren't you going with Lennon in your Wc? It will save you a transfer.
This
Antonio has CPL, Lennon has mun
But would you not bench Lennon this week anyway?
I was gona bench lukaku!...
Oh. Ok
But i see what you're saying. It will save me a transfer, which I may need to prepare for injuries and gw35!
Kane or Sanchez on WC? Will have Ozil as well
My team plan:
33 - 4 DGW players
34 - 11 DGW players + Alexis TC
35 - 11 players
37 - 15 DGW players with BB
I'm happy with the players I have with. My only concern having no Man Utd attacking players for GW 34.if United attack is your only concern, then you're not in a bad spot.
Yeah I suppose. I just can't help but worry Martail may do well, but as you say there are far bigger risks.
Most of the people around here won't have United attack as they can't be trusted... I personally am going without...
Just one concern with BB37 I have is, rotation might kick in at that stage if the league is done and dusted.Yeah I agree there is a risk of rotation with not too many teams with fixture congestion around that time I don't see a mass of players rested when there is nothing to rest them for.
I'm thinking of Wcing GW36 but it's a sad indictment of this situation that i can't even be bothered to post my team and suggested transfers to confirm this.
Hi horse 😉
hey mate, wha's new
Not much pal. Just making a few mock drafts for my wc team. Based on my lack of dgw players I will be wildcarding in gw33
Hello all.
yoyo
Wotcher
Evening O wise one
How goes zlat?
I'm well mate. Just watching the northern Ireland match whilst tinkering with my wc team.
Yourself?Yea same old same old!
Sorry bottomed out and would really appreicate thoughts on this little dilemna. Wildcarding this gameweek.
Wildcard option 1:
Elliot Robles
Bellerin Dann SMALLING Sahko Simpson
Sanchez OZIL Coutinho Payet Bolasie
Aguero Lukaku RASHFORD
Wilcard option 2
Elliot Robles
Bellerin Dann Sahko JANMAAT Simpson
Sanchez FIRMINO Coutinho Payet Bolasie
Aguero Lukaku WELBECK
Both leave 0.0 itb. Which do you prefer? thanksA, I think
Would have been easier to write
Smalling, Ozil, Rashford or Janmaat, Firmino, Welbeck 🙂
No.2thought it would be easier for everyone to see the rest of the team but good point. Im swaying towards B but only thing holding me back is my confidence in Welbeck's minutes
I'm pretty happy with my Wildcard but am down to one last spot...
need a 4.3 or below defender from WBA or NEW to play in weeks 34 and 35.
On Olsson at present but would much prefer Newcastle tbh.
Any ideas of Lascalles nailed-onness?
will drop once Colo is back
ah, ta.
Olsson seems safest then
I hate the idea of 2 Pool defenders, but for around 5.0 there aren't any better options that have a DGW and play in 35
Mangala, Gabriel, Olsson, Whoever is picked at the toon...
already got Janmaat
maxed on Arsenal
Mangala possible but Clyne has GW37 in his favour
Martial > ? (GW35 7.9 million)
I am likely getting Defoe
Vardy?
Got Fuchs, Simpson and Mahrez
Defoe prehaps.
Bench and keep for the final few games? Good fixtures..
It's either remove him or Lukaku, one has to go 🙁
Why?
I'll only have 10 players in GW35 otherwise.
I don't think that's the end of the world, it's what I'm doing.
Look at Luka and Martial's fixtures - I don't really want to get rid of either of them.
Happy enough to play 10 in 35, it means holding DGW players for 37I am debating going into 35 with 10
it depends whether I'd rather have
Defoe (ARS, sto, CHE, EVE, wat)
or
Martial (blank, LEI, nor, whm, BOU)Yeah, maybe it won't be so bad really :/
Made a mock WC33 team up, it's terrible 🙁
Mine is beautiful
of course it is, you made it 😛
I copied yours tbh 😉
clearly you didn't 😛
i like mine.
And the following 5 weeks!
Pity this week my w/c looks like pantsI'll be looking for you next week.
current w/c is:
Mig DDG
Sakho, Mangala, Olsson, Bellers, Gabriel
Ozil, Fabregas, Payet, Firmino, Lennon
Rashford, Kun, Lukaku
Fab>KDB next week.
15dgwers in 34
11 gw35ers
1037 DGWers
no hits planned.
Could go pear shaped quite easily though!*10 GW37 dgwers
the typo would be nicer though!!
Red arrow express? 🙂
How about this for a GW33 Wildcard (BB Week 34)
Foster, Mignolet
Rojo, Cresswell, sakho, Bellerin, Koscielny
Mahrez, Payet, Ozil, yaya, Coutinho
Lukaku, Rashford, Kun
Thoughts?Pretty good.
Not sold on rashford but many would disagree with me.Looks good to me - 9 out of 10
I'd have Kane over rashford to make it a 10Not bad - but don't know whether Foster is the man, rather go Robles or Elliot.
Actually think I'll include Dann for 33 then switch to Koscielny in 34
Thanks for replies
Is it madness to only go with Lukaku and Hennessey for GW33 double? Can't say that anyone else really appeals enough to change my plans for GW34.
I'm going only Lukaku and Barkley
I think I'll have lukaku and ward and robles
Should be fine, I may bring in Coleman as well - but more in hope than expectation
Arsenal v Watford and Liverpool v Tottenham score predictions?
2-0
2-3Would love this.
3-0 , 2-1
8-0
8-0
3-0
1-2
3-0
2-1
Really cannot bring myself to take out TobyA ahead of GW34. Brought him in at 5.0 in GW8 and have so much value tied up in him...
ok.
his fixtures blow thoughGenuinely don't think Spurs' fixtures are that good tbh
Yes but unlike a lot of teams at this stage, they still have A LOT to play for.
I just took out Kane who I brought in at 9.2 so you can do it!
That's the problem with wcing for 34, to take advantage of the ostensible purpose you have to ship good players you've got value tied up in and that you'll regret not having in 35
Losing value at this stage of the season shouldn't be much of a worry IMO.
Do you prefer?
A) Countinho, Kos
B) Sanchez, SakhoA
is Collins actually prefered to Ogbonna if both are fit?
don't say that to Doos....
Nope
Well he shouldn't be, at least.
Many here going to France in June for the euros?
May take a little road trip if England make the semis, camp in a fan park
Think that's the mindset of many.
I will be there for all NI group matches. Can't flippen wait!!!
not afraid of terrorist attacks?
Not really. Zlatan ain't scared of anything.
I'd planned to go over in a Winnebago type thing with my lad (4 years old).
Cancelled the plans when Paris happened. I know it's letting them win but i couldn't risk it.
Welsh fan too, so one and only chance to be at a major tournie probsNo
yep.
What matches babyb?
Got lucky in the initial draw and ended up with this lot. Am scottish though so not sure about going to the final one of the games..
ukraine v NI
czech v croatia
romania v albania
slovakia v englandyou got your tickets for NI already?
Nice. Yeah got confirmation of tickets. They don't get posted until May I think.
I am going to NI vs Poland/Ukraine/Germany
Roi vs Sweden match will be epic. Apparently it's deadly to get tickets for this match.
Possibly.
Wildcarding this week - not sure on Wickham but not sure where to downgrade to fit in Martial
Mingolet Robles
Kosc Rojo Sakho Dann Huth
Lennon Sanchez Payet Firmino Mahrez
Aguero Wickham Lukaku
Maybe replace Dann for Janmaat? Benitez will play defensive for the rest of the season to ensure survival.
Also Kosc > Monreal
Elliot Robles
Monreal Janmaat Bellerin
Coutinho Firmino Payet Sanchez Barkley
Aguero Lukaku Martial
Cheers for the help guys, time to relax now.
Current plan………………feel free to shoot me down!
WC in GW33 - giving me 3 x DGW players
BB in GW34 - giving me 12 x DGW players (plus Huth/Mahrez/Kane)
DDG - Robles
Bellerin - Huth - Rojo - Coleman - Sakho
Firmino - Payet - Mahrez - Silva - Ozil
Lukaku - Sturridge - Kane
Use 2FT to get 11 players out in GW35
Use 2FT to have 9 DGW players in GW37 and use TC
The only downside I can see to this team is no Aguero (his replacement is glass legs Danny but I'm willing to gamble on this)
Unless I am missing something obvious?
Bench boosting Huth Mahrez and Kane seems pretty meh to me.
I bet you've had a bench of players with better chances for points loads of times this season
too risky for me personally - much as I want to admire the sturridge punt
13 doubles minimum for a start - why even use your bench boost when only your keeper will be on a double? there have been better fixtures in single weeks when you could have used it
is Huth (6 or 2 points every week, never gets bonus, unless he scores two goals) really going to outscore ward or delaney over 2 games compared to four. You are essentially backing him to get two clean sheets IN A ROW. Given those two will get 8 points just from stepping out on the field those four matches.
Lose one of Huth/Mahrez/Kane - and live a little
Yes this is a GREAT potential 35 side - but you are exposed to a lot of players on the doubleAgree with this - if bench boost in GW34, I think it's better to go all in from GW33, and get rid 2 out of Hut Mahrez Kane. I'm leaning towards BB in GW37 as a better option, as it is much less risky to go without Mahrez and Kane by then (see my post below)
no GK in 35
that as well...
robles to elliot
huth to jags
done
Two Everton in defence is too much for me. Coleman doesn't score like he used to. That is an example of overpriced asset.
And I don't like teams without Aguero
Every Gw33 WC I make underwhelms me. I hate the idea of losing Kane, Mahrez, Alli, Simpson et al for GW35 and keeping them makes a GW34 Bench Boost seem pointless.
The only players I would want to bring in for Gw35 to get 11 out would be Chelsea players, but even that is tricky.
After a really good few months of FPL, I'm very uncertain what il do....it's a tricky one granted - but my rule in fantasy is always this
form over fixtures
plan at least three games in advance
always cover your bases
oh...
UNLESS IT'S A DOUBLE GAMEWEEK IN WHICH CASE GAMBLE... GAMBLE EVERYTHING
the reward is just too much to potentially miss out on...Ha.
I'm an absolute FPL dullard though.
Still. Time will tell!
29% of active teams have Butland and Alderweireld.
40% of the Top 1000 also has both, according Fantasy Football Fix
Wildcard?
Despite playing away, this article combined with the a short-term goals imminent table makes (C) an easy decision for me
18th time this season for me 😎
He'll probably still have quite a high (C) percentage so prob better to play it "safe" if you can say that
Kane away to Liverpool is a tough trip, but could do well
a certain Belgian coming back may help
I might be climbing down from the late BB stance. Arsenal vs Man City is a ball ache in GW37.
I plan to sell Kun GW37
I may bench Ozil and sell Mahrez as Ozil has AVL GW38This is the thing with BB37, you can't hide your Arsenal assets on the bench.
Took you a while to figure that out 😛
I just really want to TC Sanchez
I have Alderweireld and Butland, 2 FT.
Other GK is DDG and my other defenders are VVD, Daniels, Fuchs and Ward.
Any ideas?Toby has bad guts. Hopefully ok by the weekend
Roy Carroll lol
Carroll saves pen!!!!!!!!
Good evening, all!
Been on holiday, and only this evening started toying with my WC plans. Of course tempted to WC this week to allow Lukaku triple captain, but I'd like to wait one more week before wildcarding, and also allows a better team for GW32. But then my dilemma is that I fancy GW34 triple captain with Özil or Sanchez more than available options in GW37. Hence I'm toying with the idea of wildcarding GW33, triple captain Sancehz in GW34 and BB in GW37.
Pros:
- Sanchez triple captain in GW34 most explosive option if not TC'ing Lukaku in GW32
- Makes it easier to keep Mahrez and Kane for longer
- Possible to field 11 quality DGW'ers in GW34 without getting in crap players or players with rotation threat
- Easier to deal with GW35
Cons:
- No triple captaining Lukaku in GW32 (.. or Payet in GW37??)
- Several weeks between WC and BB makes plan vulnerable to injuries
Have put up following provisional WC33 team for this plan:
GW34:
Mignolet
Bellerin - Monreal - Sakho - Rojo
San(ccc)hez - Lallana - Lanzini - Barkley
Aguero - Lukaku
Bench; Ruddy - Simpson - Mahrez - Kane
Havne't gone through all needed transfers between gW34 an GW37, but what do you reckon, is it sound thinking?Hmmm.
You might be onto something here. Main issue I guess is by GW37 some teams/ most teams will have nothing to play for and rotation could be huge.
Will have a think about this strategy thoughThanks Krul - GW37 also a risk in tems of rotation surely, so be sure to pick nailed on players. But on the flip side, it's also difficult to filed 15 nailed on quality DGW'ers in GW34 within limited budget.
I like the strategy and frankly I was thinking the same. Main pro is Sanchez TC as the best option I can see. In 33 and 37 there is no one who has potentially better fixtures.
But the problem is the process to collect decent players for 37 and without hits you won't have more than 11. It means your BB would have to take 4 single playersYup, have to look closer at that. I'll keep Sanchez regardless for GW38 vs AVL. But Simpson to Kirchhoff could help, and then I could use the 4 FT's to ship Kane, Mahrez, Bellerin and Monreal.
Big issue: Arsenal have (AVL) in GW38. You'll really want 3 players for that. Carrying them through GW37 is ugly as they have (mci)
