Our first delve into the members’ data brings Arsenal and West Ham’s midfielders onto Tuesday evening’s radar. City’s returning Belgian, the options up front on Tyne-Wear and Everton’s recent form in the final third are also analysed as we restructure our squads for the doubles.
Is it worth having Robles in your WC team just tonight to catch the price rise despite wanting him in your actual final team?
If it's not costing you anything in the player you're losing then definitely, something might change between now and Friday that means you do want him
Yes, I'd say so
He has to rise 0.2m for you to gain a profit of 0.1m
Er...yes
Judging by the other responses, I may have misunderstood the qn. But I don't understand why you wouldn't buy a player you want before they rise.
ha, I read it as "despite NOT wanting" even though that word clearly isn't there
Chaps.....is it worth bringing in bolasie on wildcard only to replace him for coutinho gw34 if it is going to cost me a hit in order to field a full 11 in gw35.
Or do I forget bolasie and just get coutinho in my wildcard and not have to take the hit.
Is there a chance coutinho will get reduced mins this weekend due to europa cup?
Thanks
Just get Coutinho now imo
I'm doing it for a hit...
Cout straight away
For a hit: no.
Cheers
...think I'll forget bolasie
Who'd you rather have gw35?
A) Pelle (avl)
B) Eriksen (WBA)Eriksen
A for me
Pelle
a i think
Ok I'm gonna do a quick poll.
Are you keeping Kane on your WC.
Yes or no?
100% Yes
Oui
Yes
No.
I wish I could.
He is a Gooooner. 🙂
Yes. Ditched Kun instead.
Wow.
You ditched Kun. And he has a dgwk?
Hope that goes well! 🙂
Probably not.
Who will you have instead?
Aguero, Lukaku and xxxxxxxxxx
An Aguero injury tomorrow would change things.
Yes
No he's dead to me now only 6 games left, Leicester have league won now too and can see both slackening off with 3 to go.
Who's he gone out for?
There's still the golden boot, which he will be gunning for
Gone already
No
see what trigger lips does
Yes
No way - 15 DGWKers!!
Wanted him, but just sold him
Maybe back in 35
De Gea Robles
Bellerin Gabriel Clichy Ogbonna Fuchs
Sanchez Payet Coutinho Lanzini Mahrez
Aguero Lukaku Kane
Only problem is no keeper in gw35.
Thoughts?Like it a lot, but yeah obviously you need a keeper GW35!!
*Google ogbonna
Swap Ogbonna for a comparable defender that has a game in gw35.
That way, you could use one of your free transfers on a goalie come gw35,
perhaps DeGea to Hart.Don't fancy Liverpool defence?
2 clean sheets in 12. I had Moreno for 3 months of 0 and 1 pointers.
Sakho has about 64 points all season. Fuchs has matched that in 5 games 😉
But yes. They are handy with gw35 fixture.Haha, I feel the Moreno pain, there's just always been something more important to do than get rid of him! It pains me to have Sakho, but as you say they're very useful and defenders tend to do well out of DGWs
Robles Darlow
Darmian Monreal Moreno ???? ???? 9.3ITB (Thinking Morgan + Delaney)
Payet DeBruyne Sanchez Firmino Lennon
Lukaku Martial Welbeck
Thoughts?
Will be transferring in Chelsea players over the 4FT's & Sturridge
Any improvements?
WC teamdraft no. 9
Migs/Robles
Gabriel/Bellerin/Darmian/Fuchs/Delaney
Alli/Coutinho/Payet/Sanchez/Mahrez
Lukaku/Aguero/Mitrovic
£2.1m in bank
Thinking of GW35 and saving a FT in GW34 and leaving enough to upgrade/downgrade where needed...thoughts?2 arsenal defenders? Aguero I can't see being critical,
do you have enough DGWers and GW35 cover + 11 DGWers for GW37? If so then you may have got it right
Is Payet really a must? I feel I could score better with Firmino instead
I think he is a must have, can get points from lots of situations or just from nowhere with a free kick
I think Payet is a must.
If you like Firmino, get him too.Don't see Payet getting much from Leicester away
And arsenal the week before as well. i just have a lot of doubt about him, due to playing 2 of the 3 toughest defences in the league.
Full disclosure I am getting Payet, but definitely not doubling with Lanzini
get both like me haha
Payet is a no-brainer. You've got 5 midfield places so drop someone else.
What's your opinion on Mangala?
Nailed on in my team
think i may plump for him - need help with GW33 and GW35 fixtures
Rather have clichy I think
As a player, he has been a major disappointment. He makes so many mistakes,
and just seems lost much of the time. He's a penalty waiting to happen.
As an fpl asset right now, I just don't know. I don't think I want any Man City
defenders, even Hart, until Kompany is back and 100% fit.
Seeing it seems to be established that Mangala and Clichy would be the two cheaper City-defenders to gamble on, let us have a quick poll:
A) Clichy
OR
B) Mangala
Fire away!
Clichy is the better player, Mangala probably less likely to be rotated atm.
Right now I'll go AFor me, neither.
How can u find the hot topics on the new mobile site pls?
This. I've given up
Home page, use the 4 navigation buttons.
What does that mean??
Hit the green bar at the top of the screen. Then pick the loudspeaker option below the first article - and above the article in colour.
Those who are getting rid of Kane, who are you getting instead?
Rashford
Dirt cheap at least.
If I say Mitrovic, you'll laugh.
Mitrovic.
But it's not a straight swap. The money allows me to do
so many other things. Upgrades all over the place.Nah that's fair enough. Some big players have to be sacrificed to balance the team.
Currently
Aguero Lukaku Martial
Could change by the weekend though, maybe get Pelle/Palace striker over Martial for 1 week thoughThat's a good shout to take a one week punt on Pelle or Wickham then get Martial
Worth taking a -4 hit to get Lukaku in for Kane ahead of Evertons dgw?
Yes
probably since you'll be captaining him
Yes, it's only a -2 because of the extra game, and if you're captaining him it's even more worth it (which you should).
Surely KDB won't be risked against Newcastle 3 days after Chelsea and 6 days having played P.S.G? What do you think?
We have almost nothing to play for if PSG beat us.
I disagree. Even if you lose 2-0 Pelle will still put out a full team, 3-1 even more so. KDB in my team at the moment, but I'm not confident on 180 mins for the DGW. Nasri back now also.
At that point he should have gained enough match fitness to start all the games.
What option would you go for out of these for GW 34;
I really like COUTINHO, but it would mean having two palace defenders on my bench boat for GW34. This then leads me towards A because I think Man U could do well defensively....
Any help is appreciated!
A)
de gea, Hennessy
Bellerin, Gabriel, ROJO, Evans, Moreno
Sanchez, Lennon, payet lanzini, LALLANA
Aguero, lukaku, sturridge
B)
De gea, Hennessy
Bellerin, Gabriel, DELANEY, Evans, Moreno
Sanchez, Lennon, payet, lanzini, COUTINHO
Aguero, lukaku, sturridge
If you do Hennesey --> Robles/Darlow, does that free up enough funds to get Coutinho?
Still leaves only 4.5M for a defender.... Would have to go with ake....
Definite B
Thanks
B
Should I sell Kane and Mahrez now to catch KDB and Lennon potential rises?
Only if you want both in your final team.
But do I want them in my final team, that is what we are asking. I.e. will they score more points than kane and mahrez over the remaining gameweeks
It's only the next 2 atm.
Dunno. I will lose so much money in both kane and mahrez that I may not be able to afford them again. I really want kdb. But i have to sacrifice kane and mahrez to get him. Was thinking kdb and mitro
If you sell you probably shouldn't buy back unless you think they have a big finish with no DGWs.
atm i only have 12 dgw for my bench boost. It just seems like a waste of it without at least 14
This!
dont think lennon will double rise at the mo
you can't have second thoughts if you do
also it's aaron fecking lennon - some rises you just have to let slidePretty easy way to look at it.
If Coutinho or Firmino get booked vs Dortmund, they're banned for the 2nd leg. Same goes for Lovren and Moreno I believe.
hopefully theyre thinking about the dgw and do that 🙂
Clyne too
Rank these WC must haves!
Sanchez
Payet
KDB
Coutinho
Sanchez
Payet
Coutinho/Firmino
KDBThis.
i agree, cooling on kdb
Sanchez
Payet
Coutinho - KDB / Dead Heat for show.
quick question for you knowledgable lot,, if your wildacrd is active, do you get the price rises/falls ? cheers
yes
Yes
cheers for the replies, i heard of people taking hits to get rises,and avoid falls, then activate w,c to cancel out hits, if you can do that
As long as you use WC before deadline.
cheers
To those building a wildcard team:
Other than ownership, how essential is Payet?
For £3.1m less you can get Lanzini who is on great form and proved he is capable before injury as well.
Payet is amazing and I'd love him in my team, but saving £3.1m here is so useful for upgrading other parts of my team, I'm just not sure he's worth the extra money over Lanzini.
Thoughts?Payet is essential
Just because of ownership, or do you think he is going to considerably outscore Lanzini over the next few weeks?
I think it's a massive risk to go without the man who has 7 goals and 7 assists in the last 11 games for club and country, a handful of which are direct free kicks.
I agree it's a risk, I'm just trying to calculate the level of risk.
I'm chasing in both my mini leagues, but I just feel that £3.1m can be better spent elsewhere.
For example, I can get Hart, Bellerin, Sanchez, KDB, Coutinho, Aguero, Kane and Lukaku if I go with Lanzini.I think you should find the money elsewhere if your SV is low. Concessions like selling Kane or KDB may have to be made. Good luck though!
Get both.
Payet is essential and Lanzini is your cheap 5th midWould have to lose Kane for that to be affordable.
That's my other big question, how essential is Kane? Ha! If only someone could tell me how many points everyone would score over the next 6 weeks 🙁
You can't have them all. I'm going Lanzini over Payet because I would also have to downgrade Kane. Personally I would rather have Kane 33-35 than Payet. It's a gamble but that's the game!
Of the following three remaining none GW34 DGW players in my WC team...shall I keep all or none of them?
A Alli
B Fuchs
C Mahrez (would not be able to buy back)B is the most important out of those in my opinion.
Scrap Alli, keep the other two, fixtures are great
B
Thanks...was considering Bolasie for Alli
Fuchs will be my only SGW player.
I'm gonna sell them all and then buy Morgan/Simpson for GW35 to field decent 11.. Not worthy to have much players from team that wins by 1 goal.. only defenders are tempting there atm
The only one I'm keeping is Fuchs.
And I may be forced to downgrade him to Simpson,
though I'd rather not.
Mignolet/Robles
Jagielka/Sakho/Gabriel/Delaney/Simpson
Alexis/Ozil/Payet/Coutinho/Mahrez
Kun/Lukaku/Martial
4xDGW33
13xDGW34
2FT to 11 outfielders GW35
2FT to bring in Studge(TC) +1 more 9xDGW37Good planning
Solid team. Defence is pretty weak though, but I guess you know that
Very good.
The defense could be heartier, but you can't have it all.
I want some Man Utd. defensive coverage, but I've been
fiddling and it isn't easy. My favorite GK combination
is DDG/Mignolet, but that's very expensive. For one thing,
it forces me to choose Mitrovic instead of Martial.
KdB to rise tonight?
Might, but unlikely given there are a lot of WC transfers.
not according to fff
Outside chance.
Think I'm just about set, any comments much appreciated.. no Payet is the clear omission but can't have em all...
Robles-Darlow
Mangala-Bellerin-Gabriel-Clyne-Smalling
Barkley-Coutinho-Bolasie-Lanzini-Sanchez
Lukaku-Mitrovic-Aguero
Thanks lads.
Way too much invested in the defence.
Thanks for the input, shall continue having a play about.
I'm another advocate of the Payet --> Lanzini route.
Such a risk to leave him out, but Lanzini's value for money and points potential means he's such a great shout. Good luck to you.We shall see mate! I am in agreement with you, I reckon we should roll the dice and share the luck! Good luck to you, too.
P.s, thanks for the reply.
looks ok except you will have 6 outfield players with blank in gw35
this team will give you 4-2-2 in 35, maybe a bit of rearanging so you dont suffer in 35, just my thoughts, good luckThanks for taking the time to reply mate. As far as I can see, it's 5 outfield players with a blank, though?
yes 5 my mistake !, if your happy with that team, then go for it mate, the blank after the dgw is the difficulty in planning for the dgw, so you dont leave your team to short in gw35, good luck
Expensive defence
Would you rather a City Defender or a Pool defender for the coming weeks?
City if it wasn't for price
Pardon my ignorance. I see a lot of WC teams with Iwobi as the cheap option in the mid. Why is Rashford not being considered?
Shrek maybe back
Rooney is making a comeback.
thanks
Too many other good striking options:
Aguero, Kane, Lukaku, Sturridge, Mitrovic, Welbeck.Yeah, expensive though. My team is only worth $105 so I need to save money somewhere
For next GW:
Bench 2:
(A) Smalling
(B) Sakho
(C) Simpson
(D) Gabriel
Bench 1:
(A) Martial
(B) Payet
(C) Firmino
(D) BolasieAD
AAD
ABD
A (if you're going to bench Bolasie then I don't see the point in owning him)A D
CA D then have to play bolasie for dgw
Need fixtures. They used to be on the left but Google police abolished such easy access.
how long to price rises?? is kdb essential, would have to lose kane
2 hours. No one is essential.
This
btw top of my mini league by 57 points currentlyso i gues i dont need differentials
Just under 3 hours.
2.12am BST
Who would you rather have?
KDB or MahrezKDB short term
Mahrez long termMahrez long term? He has crap fixtures in 36-38. If it isn't Mahrez short term then it certainly isn't Mahrez long term!
Leicester are dealing in 1-0s. KDB for explosiveness.
Is Funes Mori a doubt for dGW
Rotation risk.
He had been a guaranteed starter until being dropped for United game
