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.
Nobody captaining Kane?
I bet someone will
Yeah, me. Tho I am also considering Willian.
Nah
Why?
Arsenal Leicester and City got better fixtures. West Ham too.
Payet Kun Ozil/Sanchez Mahrez will get captained I imagine
Im Arsenal-less so thinking Mahrez Kun or Payet. Kane not even.VCI don't have Payet. City are out of form, and it's question how much Kun will play as PSG game is close. Ozil boring pick.
Mahrez?
Soton in fine form recently. Mahrez only scoring away.
9% on here are according to poll
Currently on Sanchez, too much of a risk?
My only reason for not wildcarding with a view to bench boosting in 37 is Arsenal.
Aston Villa (H) in GW38.Then do what I am.
Sanchez plus 14dgw gw36 for Norwich home
Sell for a 1 week gamble on dgw hazard vs Sunderland and Liverpool
Then back to sanchez for villa home
In which order would you drop these players from a wildcard team?
A) Sanchez
B) Kane
C) Payet
D) Firmino/Coutinhoin that order
B, D, A, C
drop?? in dgw or generally?
Drop as in not include at all from GW33 until, say, GW37.
d would be my 1st choice, b for none of the dgws, c then a
BCDA
This.
B D A C
Bdac
BCDA. Although depends who you're replacing thim with eg Sanchez to Ozil and Payet to Lanzini aren't significant downgrades, whereas Kane to Mitrovic/Rashford and Firmino/Coutino to Lallana/Milner would be
They would all likely be downgraded to cheaper options within their own team (except for Kane, obviously). Just want a get a handle on which big names people consider least essential.
Thanks guys, that helps quite a bit. Not least because I now know I *really* don't want to drop Kane as I winced every time he was picked!
end of last page with no replies.
if i can manage to have this team below by gw34 with a single hit which also make me play gw35 with all 11 players. should i postpone my wc and bb till the last dgw?? does that seem the right choice?
mignolet hennessey
bellerin sakho/moreno delaney (daniels targett)
barkley ozil sanchez mahrez (stans)
augero lukaku kaneyMaybe. It's a pretty strong 11 if you're not bench boosting. Delaney is the only real sour note.
i can use my wc and bb but im thinking maybe if i can have this team with almost no hits because i still have 2FTs, i can use them at gw35/36 when most of the players already used theirs. im asking if that is a right choice or just use it next gw?
I think saving your wildcard is risky but probably the tactically smart choice in this situation. I say be brave and save it for 35/36.
i think ill save it. u have better option than delaney??
Not really. I think I'm going to opt for Simpson over a Palace defender but that's partially because it will make it easier to field 11 in GW35, a problem you won't have.
Sakho over Moreno btw.
i can do robles and dawson or jaks instead od delaney and mignolet
I think that seems to be the right choice. I am hungover, drinking, and full of chocolate tho, so I am thinking many things. Isn't life great?! Seriously tho, I'd prob save the wc. I'd want Payet tho.
i want to bring him to but to find cash i will probably need a hit. i can do lanzini and keep alli instead of stans and barkley
So hard to know who's going to get the most points, as you well know, but Hammers are in with a real shot of CL. 2 gameweeks before 34 anyhoo, so hopefully you'll know a bit more before then. Good luck!
thanks a lot
What about this for DGW34?
Elliot - Gomes
Cresswell - Dann - Bellerin - Alderwiereld - Huth
Antonio - Payet - Lennon - Mahrez - Ozil
Aguero - Kane - Lakaku
Going with 10 DGW players, just can't justify selling Mahrez and KaneWhat will you do in GW35 though?
Good question.
Take -8 hit and leave my wildcard for GW37.
Payet to Ali
Lenon to Firmino
Lakaku to VardyThink I'd want to reduce the number of hits necessary.
You don't fancy having any Liverpool player's for DGW 34?
Considering Firmino over Mahrez but not happy about letting him go, even for one GW
This weekend should I:
A Play AOA and start Alli (liv)
B Start Simpson (SOU)
Can't see myself playing AOA otherwise after my WCI'd go AOA. Soton hitting form and as you say, when will you use it otherwise?
AOA looks more fun so do that if you're not going to use it otherwise.
Thats a tough one…
Alli has so much % and its really in form. I guess go with him.
For GW34 - thoughts?
DDG - Elliot
Kos - Bellerin - Coleman - Olsson - Clyne
Sanchez - Firmino - Coutinho - Payet - Lanzini
Aguero - Lukaku - PerezNot big on WBA players and not sure Coleman is worth the money. Tasty midfield though.
WBA out of necessity unfortunately, unless a NEW def can be ascertained for cheapsies. Coleman could easily become Jags with funds elsewhere - maybe Perez > Mitro. Cheers
Any interest in Ward as a cheapy enabler?
Aguero, Lukaku and _______ (no Kane)
Rashford
Won't Rooney be back?
Dont think so
Completely depends on budget
Not an issue
Martial or welbeck for me i think.
this for me
Sturridge
Forgot to mention, no Arsenal or Liverpool as well
Mitrovic
+1
Deeney
Martial, then Welbeck
Im going Mitrovic
I might go as well actually
- I won't have to sell Martial to field a 2nd striker
- Cheaper so I can sell Lennon in gw 34 for Firmino instead of gw 35 for Willian
Any love for Rashford in the DGW's here?
plenty
A fair bit as he's a big enabler, though game time will at least be a worry.
The second Rooney is back he could be eased out
best midfielder for 4.5 or under?
Lingard
Lingard I guess.
id go lingard but i dont think many will agree
Iwobi
In order to build the team I have in my mind I need an extra 2-2.5m. I can do either :
A. Kane to Martial (and get Kane back in 35 for example)
B. Downgrade two out of :
1. Ddg to someone
2. Alexis to Ozil
3. Bolassie to lingard
Opinions? A or B? And which B, if so?B1. There are decent cheap keeper options about.
B1. Elliot or Robles
b1
Hi Scouts!
Have 2 Free punts to "waste" before WC
Kasper
Otamendi - Williams - Fuchs
Eriksen - Payet - Mahrz - Siggy - Arnie
Aguero - Kane
McCarthy - Austin - Cathcart - Richards
2.1 ITB
A) Otamendi/Williams for Bellerin/Ivanovic (or even both)
B) Williams to Gabriel and Eriksen to Sanchez
C) Eriksen to Ozil and Austin to Welbeck (bench Siggy)
Feel free to comment 🙂b
I like a Chelsea punt this week (doing Butland > Courtois myself). Otamendi & Eriksen > Ivan & Willian.
+1
Tanks guys.
Chelsea punt its also a very good idea… But the brazillians have a long trip back from Paraguai
Any chance that the games on the weekend will be postponed after hurricane Katie?
yes
yes, most of the country underwater, and half the populace are missing believed drowned
No. Katie Price caused more damage to the country than storm Katie
Playing around with GW33 wildcard team:
Robles, Elliot
Gabriel, Ogbonna, Olsson, Moreno, Rojo
Ozil, Firminio, Coutinho, Payet, Mahrez
Aguero, Lukaku, Kane
Any thoughts? My main query is whether to downgrade Coutinho to Lennon to free up funds to replace Ozil with Sanchez and bolster the defence a little?id want 2 arsenal mids instead of 2 liverpool mids. ozil and sanchez. depends on ur funds
I think ideally I'd want that too, but it's near impossible unless you release funds up top from either Aguero, Lukaku or Kane, and I'm pretty set on that forward line.
Mahrez > Lanzini/Antonio/Lingard
Coutinho > Sanchez
Would you rather do A or B?
A) Martial, Lennon, Ward (GW 34: Ward --> Evans ; GW 35: Lennon --> Willian)
B) Mitrovic, Lennon, Ward (GW 34: Ward + Lennon --> Evans + Firmino ; GW 35: no transfer)
I can field 14 DGW players in gw 34 and 11 players in gw 35 with A (if I sell Martial for a hit) or B
I really like Rashford as a WC33 punt and enabler but just worry that his value screws my team as i'll need to drop a utd/wham player.. Where to go afterwards, other than deeney/iggy, i see no options and they blank gw35 too??
he may prove to be a great shout, but isn't rooney nearing a return? if so i can't imagine rashford will get much of a look-in
Defoe
Defoe later but if Rooney due back, that could solve a headache!
I couldn't get Rashford to work due to low value ahead of GW35 sale and likelihood of Rooney return
yeah, i was looking for an answer for that as couldn't find one myself either
Agree, which is why I'd probably prefer Lingard all things being equal. He keeps the cheap fifth mid team structure in place.
maybe 352 is the way to end the season tho
Draftin around WC33, no Ozil this time...
Mignolet Elliot
Bellerín Monreal Rojo Sakho Dann
Sanchez Payet Barkley Firmino Mahrez
Aguero Lukaku Deeney
0,5m itb
Reshuffle or what do you think?I like Deeney as a player, but Watford have scored 5 goals in the PL this year. Or 6. Can't remember now. Not a lot anyhoo.
Given that Leicester City fans started celebrating the league after their last game, you can expect a Mahrez slip this week 😉
But they don't play Chelsea till GW38 😛
🙂
Latest in a long line of my WC teams/strategies...
WC this week
Robles - Elliott
Dann - Simpson - Bellerin - Monreal - Sakho
Barkley - Ozil - Firmino - Payet - Mahrez
Aguero - Lukaku - Martial
Use my TC chip on Lukaku GW33
Dann to Clyne GW34 (13 DGW players)
Barkley and Martial to Willian and Defoe or Vardy GW35 gives me 12 players (can play 4-4-2)
2 more FT's would give me 10 DGW players for GW37
I have exactly £0m in ITB using that initial team... is that a sign this team was meant to be?? (it's a sign I can't afford the likes of Sanchez and Smalling, before anyone points that out haha)For GW32 start Lennon (mun) or Firmino (TOT) with risk of Firminho only getting limited minutes following injury?
thanks 🙂
Bellerin has been one of the banes of my season
Silly to consider kosc over him though ?
When is Rooney supposed to be back? Could he spoil my plans with Rashford?
What plans? Netflix and chill?
Any last changes I should consider while under WC and before I fly to no-internet land for the rest of the week?
Cech, DDG
Clyne, Rojo, Bellerin, Sakho, Funes Mori
Ozil, Firmino, KDB, Shelvey, Lennon
Aguero (C), Lukaku, Mitrovic
thanks 🙂
Anyone fancy Clichy or Sagna? For WC
not for me without Hart and Kompany
Better defender to get for 5.4 and under?
So far I got .....Robles henn belle Clyne Rojo Olsson ....Reid
Fuchs
JanmaatThanks mate
Had a quick look at the top 200 in HoF from the beginning of the season.
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/1630164/history/ forgot to use WC and looks to have played all season.
Only 23 are in the top 10K atm.
Ville Ronka ranks 10th.109 are under 100K
Can't tell if he is Deep Blue or Skynet ? 😉 . It's a shame he doesn't post on here In all honesty everyone would just bug the sh*te out of him all day 🙂
You don't even know when Andy Murray posts 😆
He won't be impressed by me . I posted links to AndyMurrayometer.com on multiple occasions 🙂
Good thing he's normally busy training or playing. 🙂
I think it was during Wimbledon so I was probably safe 🙂 . Did a load of lads on here get into the Stoke mini league one year or is that just a rumour ?
1 did this year in their H2H league. They can't boot him out.
😆
Don't get the Deep Blue or Skynet part tbh.
Deep Blue was the first super computer to beat a reigning world chess champion , skynet was the super computer in the terminator movies . I was just joking that he was not really human 🙂
I got it Adam, too deep for some others, huh! 😉
😆
I see 🙂
OR just inside 500K......pretty far behind in my cash leagues so hoping to do something different with an outside chance of moving up the ranks with some differentials picks and have some fun doing it
Thoughts on this plan?
32 - WC
33 - TC (Lukaku) with 4 DGWers, save FT
34 - BB with 15 DGWers, Bolasie to Cout/Firm and save the other FT
35 - Field 11 by using 2 FT
36 - Save FT
37 - Use 2 FT to field 11 DGWers
38 - 1 week FT punt
No hits taken.....and provided I get no injuries/bans hahahahaMay as well copy Ryan in the Hot Topic.
Who is this Ryan you speak of 😉 haha. My TV is low so doubt i can copy anyone 🙁
He has 107.9 right now.
There goes that thought process haha. I'll have a look for guidance though. Cheers.
Sounds good to me... my plan is similar... just fielding 13 DGWers and 10 GW37 (unless I take a hit on a player who could score big in GW37)
All things going well, I plan on benching my 3 gunners in GW 37 for the MC game and then unleashing them against Villa
Yes.. it looks good. When you search in hot topics you'll find Ryan and his plan. Very brave btw. he goes all in - for example 6 DGWers in 33
Wow. Do you have the link to this?
Thanks bud, this is a good guideline even though my TV is so low.
What to do?
Get rid of Butland for a one week punt on Courtois and play him (avl) and bench Schmeichel (Sou), then get him out for DDG , or play Schmeichel and not get Courtois? Soton on the up but Leicester have one of the best defences in the league and I wouldn't be surprised if they kept a CS.
Thoughts?Is Lanzini worth considering?
I think so.
Thanks.
Can't fit Payet and Firmino in my team so considering Lanzini as another option.
Exact money for this WC team. Any changes you'd make?
DDG - Elliott
Mangala - Bellerin - Rojo - Lovren - Ward
Sanchez - Ozil - Coutinho - Payet - Bolasie
Aguero - Lukaku - Martial
3 x FT's to sort out GW35.Looks good.....Lovren to Sakho would be my only change
