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.

    Coleman's last 4 away games he has scored 4,6,13 and 6

    Hi which would you prefer?

    A) darlow, smalling
    B) ddg, Moreno

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      B

  4. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    alright so the KDB rise wasn't awesome for me but I can still just afford this on the dot:

    DDG - Darlow
    Bellerin - Coleman - Clichy/Mangala - Gabriel - Sakho
    Lennon - Payet - Sanchez - De Bruyne - Lanzini
    Mitrovic - Aguero - Lukaku

    2.6m available. Lennon -> Coutinho or Firmino for GW34. Would have 10 for GW35 before I use that week's FT.

    Hopefully we get more information soon from Pellegrini on KDB and Kompany (to make me feel better about Mangala).

    1. Venom Snake

      Solid team I like it

        cheers Red!

    2. 8ball

      nice team. maybe darmian instead of city defender

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        already have DDG, getting Darmian would mean 9 for GW35 😐

    3. GarthButchers
      • 14 Years

      nice team. you must be rolling in cash!

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        I want more!

    4. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Nice team. Lingard over Lennon?

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I have Lennon in for his 33 DGW only as I'm not convinced he plays both in 34 with the FA Cup 3 days after the derby.

        1. Jigger & Pony
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Makes sense. Who does he go out for?

          1. sinik
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Firmino or Coutinho

            1. Jigger & Pony
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              You comfortable with double WHU defense with ARS lei WAT blank? Guess WAT is the risky one, but also close to the MUN FA Cup replay.

              1. Jigger & Pony
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 9 months ago

                * attack

              2. sinik
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 9 months ago

                not overly. Payet is fixture proof IMO with 6 goals (2 direct free kicks) and 6 assists in his last 9 for WHU. He's also been creating a ton, consistently, all season.

                With their fullbacks fit again their attacking midfield 3 will be Antonio Lanzini Payet and I see goals in that no matter the defense

                1. Jigger & Pony
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 12 Years
                  9 years, 9 months ago

                  He is class

    What do you guys think of this?
    https://i.gyazo.com/c80fda0cdbe5d9a0c3b22428bf3c10ec.png

    No Man United granted, but incredible front 8, minimal rotation threats and already 11 in place for gw35 which allows a saved transfer which would help in getting 11 dgw's in gw37.

    1. Trae44
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Nice team but yeah would rather some United players

    2. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I like it a lot! Firmino/Cout COULD be a risk for DGW if both are set to play Dortmund second game, so keep an eye out for that.

      As a United fan, I will say that no United isn't the worst thing, we're pretty inconsistent, but don't be surprised if you miss out on some defensive hauls.

  6. mozza
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    My team value is terrible so have had to compromise with my WC, is this too risky?...

    Robles Darlow
    Mangala Gabriel Rojo Sakho Delaney
    Payet Ozil Sanchez Coutinho Lanzini
    Lukaku Kun Rashford

    0.2 itb

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Very risky

      1. mozza
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Yep, but the alternative is to not get DGW picks. What would you do in my situation (low Team value)?

        1. sinik
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          You might be better suited selling Ozil and going double defense instead.

          on current prices:
          Ozil + Sanchez + Gabriel = 24.9m
          Sanchez + Gabriel + Monreal = 21m

          that 3.9m could be used to upgrade Rashford or Rojo or Delaney for example

          1. mozza
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Thanks for thinking that through... I might have to look at bolasie to make that work in my midfield

            1. sinik
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              I personally am not overly comfortable trusting Palace. Maybe Lennon would be good for you? There is risk IMO for him to play both 34 games though with the FA Cup 3 days after the derby

  7. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    I think this is final from me.
    I'd still rather have Lennon in for Lanzini to take advantage of that extra DGW, but it's just too hard gathering the funds without making a big sacrifice to one of my other mids.

    Thoughts?

    DDG - Darlow
    Monreal - Gabriel - Jagielka - Sakho - Simpson
    Sanchez - KDB - Payet - Coutinho - Lanzini
    Aguero - Lukaku - Martial

    1. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Looks solid, and quite similar to mine (see below). Have you considered Smalling & Iwobi instead of Monreal & Lanzini?

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I have but thought to myself double Arsenal defence was the way to go. I could be terribly wrong though

        1. sinik
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Attacking returns could easily be spread out over the team whereas a cleansheet benefits everyone. I wouldn't be surprised if they cleansheet 4 or 5 out of the remaining 7 and so that price point:point ratio is pretty healthy for Gabriel over an attacker.

    2. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      looks really good! Monreal is a sneaky pick over Bellerin..I think a lot of people would be going this route had it not been for Bellerin's recent hauls (some of which have been pretty fortunate)

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Don't get me wrong if I had the extra cash available I'd be picking Bellerin

  8. Jinswick

    Morning DZ,

    Best fillers here?

    A) Moreno, Ozil & Lanzini
    B) Smalling, Firmino & Iwobi

    DDG, Hennessey
    xxx, Gabriel, Sakho, Delaney, Simpson
    Sanchez, KDB, Coutinho, xxx, xxx
    Aguero, Lukaku, Iggy/Mitro

    1. Captain Blanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Can you afford Clyne on A?

    2. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      A. But if you take a look at my team above you'll see I'd rather Monreal and Payet

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah, I can have Bellerin & Payet in A instead, but it does mean an extra blanker in 35, and I'm not sure about double WHU attack with their fixtures

        1. Jigger & Pony
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          This

        2. Venom Snake
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Hennessy to Darlow giving you a keeper in GW35

          Bellerin, Payet and Lingard?

          That's 10 players for GW35 without having used a FT yet

          1. Jinswick
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Yeah that's an option, but I put Lingard in the same box as Rashford - at risk for the DGW if Rooney is back.

            Darlow vs Henno is an interesting one. An extra fixture for Darlow, but it's away at LIV - don't see much there.

            Hennessey (NOR/EVE & mun/ars)

            Vs

            DDG (tot) & Darlow (SWA/MCY & liv)

            Hmmm, maybe it should be Darlow.

  9. The Hound
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Mignolet/ Hennessey
    Jags sakho dann/ Mangala bellerin
    Sanchez payet Barkley coutinho/ lanzini
    Kun lukaku martial.
    Will do dann to smalling for gw 35. All seem in order? My concerns are the mins of lanzini and Mangala and the poor form of Barkley. Is kompany due back anytime soon? Feel I need a city def with gw35 in mind. Can't afford otamendi.

    1. Jape
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Not overly fond of Mangala or Sakho.
      Lanzini should be fine.

      1. The Hound
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Me neither. Would prefer clyne and otamendi but can't afford, unless I do Barkley to Lennon.

        1. Jape
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Barkley isn't in great form so Lennon isn't a bad shout. You could also look at Bolasie.

          Clyne and Otamendi are much better like you say.

          1. The Hound
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Yeah I'm liking Mangala less and less every time I look at him in my team. U think Lennon and bolasie will both play most of the DGW? Lennons mins concern me a lot.

            1. Jape
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              Bolasie I think will, Lennon not too sure.

  10. Kered
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Hey all, any help with this team is appreciated.
    WC used last week
    Robles - Darlow Dann - Simpson- Gabriel- Bellerin- Ivan
    Mahrez - Willian- Coutinho- Ozil- Payet
    Kun - Kane - Lukaku

    Currently thinking of
    A) Willian > Bolasie
    B) Willian > Barkley or Lennon
    C) Kane > Martial
    D) both A and B/C for -4 (Is Sanchez worth trying to squeeze in for Ozil?)
    Thanks!

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Willian to bolasie or Lennon, your preference.

      Kane to martial in GW34

      1. Kered
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks. Likely will be my plan as I realized United doesn't have that great a fixture this gw.
        But the point of the poll is that I can't decide between Lennon or Bolasie!
        Which would you choose?

        1. Venom Snake
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Lennon

  11. 8ball
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    DDG/Mignolet
    Smalling, Bellerin, Coleman, Gabriel, ?? (6.1m itb)
    Sanchez, Coutinho, Milner, Lennon, Lanzini,
    Kun, Lukaku, Martial

    gtg?

    Is it worth downgrading Martial to Mitrovic and swapping Lanzini with Payet? That leaves me 4m for my last defender.

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Nice. Go with Clyne for final spot and perhaps downgrade Migs to Darlow or Hennessey.

  12. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    How would you rate this defence? Mangala's game time a reason for concern?

    Ddg darlow
    Coleman Gabriel Simpson Delaney mangala

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Needs Bellerin or Monreal

    2. Jape
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Mangala is risky. Also, not a fan of Gabriel

    3. Trae44
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Try and get Bellerin in his last three scores are 9,12 and 14 would also get rid of Delaney, just my preference though 🙂

  13. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Morning DZ. Thoughts on my latest WC draft?

    Mignolet - Hennessey
    Smalling - Coleman - Bellerin - Gabriel - Fuchs
    Sanchez - KdB - Coutinho - Lanzini - Alli
    Aguero - Lukaku - Martial

    Fuchs can be Clichy. Alli can be Lingard and Martial could then become Mitrovic.

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Fuchs to Simpson, Alli to Lingard, how much money does that leave you?

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Generates 2.4m itb. Where to spend though? If I go Lingard then I can also get Mitro over Martial. That's another chunk of money.

        1. Venom Snake
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Lanzini to Payet?

          1. Jigger & Pony
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Just sold him for KdB lol. He will be back in GW36 definitely.

    2. Jafalad
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      A little too much money in D. Smalling and Coleman need to be cheaper options such as Delboy.

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        What would you upgrade with that money? Am happy with Lanzini over Payet and don't want to double up on WHU attack until GW36.

    3. The Hound
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      You need payet imo.

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I understand but am set on going Payet-less for ARS lei WAT blank. Back in 36. Until then Lanzini it is.

        1. The Hound
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Well it's up to you. I'd prefer payet to kdb and it would save cash for upgrades. Maybe another dye player for alli. That's just me though, I'm taking 8 point hit in 35 by the looks of things!

          1. Jigger & Pony
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years

            Thanks for your views

  14. dsefton
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Mitrovic or Martial?
    Thanks

    1. Trae44
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Tony imo

    2. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      This is a VERY tough call. I'm going Martial purely for the fixtures but Mitrovic is a nice pick at a really nice price

  15. Trae44
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Said something similar a few hours ago, next week when I play my bench boost I have Jagielka, Mignolet, Lukaku and Coutinho all playing against each other then I have Lanzini and Simpson facing off too, should I look for alternatives or just leave them? Thanks

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Just leave them. They have a second game after all

      1. Trae44
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah was going to bring that up, cheers

  16. lachyas

    Thoughts?

    Mignolet / Robles
    Clichy / Gabriel / Sakho / Delaney / Darmian
    Sanchez / KdB / Countinho / Payet / Iwobi
    Aguero / Lukaku / Martial

    1. Jafalad
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Not sure Id bother with a CTY defender given their away form. The rest look okay although Iwobi needs beefing up .

    2. Trae44
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Really like this apart from Delaney

    Robles - DDG
    Simpson - Bellerin - Gabriel - Ward - Sakho
    Lennon - Coutinho - Payet - Sanchez - KDB
    Martial - Aguero - Lukaku

    GW33 - Bench Martial
    GW34 - 1FT Lennon > Iwobi + BB
    GW35 - 1FT Martial > Pelle and maybe Aguero/KBD > Kane/Eriksen/Mahrez -4
    GW36 - Save FT
    GW37 - Iwobi > Lanzini and a couple of others for a -4

    Thoughts?

      I like getting Mitrovic instead of Martial and upgrading Ward. Rest looks good and decent plan.

      1. thunder_mike
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I am purely looking at those fixtures with Martial. Mitrovic is tempting, but I don't trust him with red cards.

        Getting Darlow over Robles and playing DDG this week is also tempting, would free up a little cash and give me a keeper GW35.

    2. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      You can have 4 Arsenal in Gw34??

      1. thunder_mike
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Ah... was thinking a different WC draft, Lanzini or Lingard instead of Iwobi.

    3. Sleivspark
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      No gk in gw 35 ?

  19. Swan - Villa Proud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Which of these combinations do you prefer?

    A) Mingolet, Dann, Smalling, Lennon
    B) Mingolet, Rojo, Coleman, WInji
    C) DDG, Dann, Coleman, Lanzini
    D) DDG, Rojo, Coleman, Lanzini

    Leaning A, but tempted by C

    1. thunder_mike
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Who is your second keeper? Between A & C for me.

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Robles. If C, I don't mind taking a -4 in GW35 to field 11, since one of the transfers will be Forster (villa away)

        1. thunder_mike
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I might even go without a keeper GW35.

    2. The Hound
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      C) looks the best by miles to me.

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers. If C, then whole team would be

        DDG, Robles
        Bellerin, Coleman, Dann, Sahko, Gabriel
        Sanchez, KDB, Payet, Firmino/Coutinho, Lanzini
        Kun, Lukaku, Mitrovic

        1. The Hound
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Looks lovely then. Mitrovic could be a great pick. I've got martial instead. If anything happens to my forwards though he could be the one. Pens and a fixture in 35. Couldn't understand him not starting. His all round game is massively better then cisse.

          1. thunder_mike
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            I think it was just because of the international break. I can't see him starting Cisse again, he can barely play anymore.

    3. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      A with Jagielka in for Dann if you can afford to do that (not sure on Dann's price)

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Already have Dann since GW9, got at 5.0

  20. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    If only one of Rojo/Darmian were nailed. The difference it would make for my WC is ridiculous

    1. The Hound
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Fully expect rojo to break down. Terrible pick imo. Limited attacking threat, injury prone and bad for bps as well. No thanks.

  21. Bggz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Why would i bring in a Palace or Everton df? I don't understand people getting Coleman and co, theyre so overpriced. Dann stats showing reasonable potential but hes not actually scored and points for weeks.

    Whats the best 5.7m df for the next two gw's oustide of Arsenal?

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I don't think Jagielka is overpriced at all

      1. Bggz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        for form of 2, 2, 1, 1, 2 i dont see Jags as an option, particularly as that included WBA (can go a whole game without a shot on target) and Villa.

        Coleman has 1 goal and 3 assists all season and sporadic cs's.

        still dont get it.

    2. Trae44
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Everton have 2 dgw's in a row

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        This and fixtures in GW33 are actually decent for scoring and CS potential. Coleman's away stats are also incredible. I worry about Jagielka getting a rest at some point thought.

        1. Najoman86

    3. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      The best 6 defenders to have this week according to RMT are palace and Everton. Looking over 33 and 34 only Arsenal fair better.

      Whilst RMT is not perfect it's a mathematical indicator of the dgw effect

  22. Amateur Pundit Zan
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    0.1 short of my desired WC team. Could have made that on Fuchs this week if I had not sold straight away 🙁

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      0.1 isn't that so often the way

    2. White Hart Kane
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Care to share what it was?

  23. White Hart Kane
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Who else is keeping Harry

    1. White Hart Kane
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      It's effectively Kane and Mahrez vs KDB and Mitrovic/Martial for me, but Can't bring myself to drop the 2 best players this year

      1. Bggz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        im keeping kane and mahrez. people are going crazy for the doubles but if you look at what some of these players score in any two gws its lower than the top performing players. if you add in that kane and mahrez dont blank theyre essential for the next 3 gws

        1. White Hart Kane
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Agreed

  24. numbers123
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Would you rather:

    A) Coutinho + Lanzini
    B) Milner + Payet

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      A, but depends what the savings from getting Milner gets you elsewhere.

    2. White Hart Kane
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      A) because of Milner, but I wouldn't go without Payet

  25. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Rashford and Lingard - are either worthy of consideration for our 8th attacker - super cheap and an easy benching call each week except for the DGW - yes they might not play both in the DGW if Rooney is back. But I can't see Rooney being rushed back with the Euros looming and United being in decent form without him.

    Even if they only play one of the DGW, given how plum the fixtures are and how low their price is, perhaps it's worth the gamble?

    Now, which one to get?!

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Of the two, Rashford. So many other options in midfield and getting Rashford allows you to get a stellar midfield and defense.

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah, I think you're right. I can have this mid with Rashford up top:

        Sanchez, KDB, Ozil, Cout, Payet/Firm
        Aguero, Lukaku, Rashford

        Which I think is as good as it gets

    2. White Hart Kane
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I wouldn't use one of my attackers slots on Rash

    3. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Value is there but you need to carry through wk35 as can't easily do like for like. Depends on who else you want to keep through that game week

      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Rashford's only viable if you're willing to play the last 4 gameweeks in a 352 IMO.

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I dunno. 3-5-2 for 33, but it's a fairly easy switch to Defoe in 35 or Iggy/Deeney in 36.

          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          That's a fair point.

    4. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Lingard. To me that third striker spot is too valuable. If not Martial, I would have Mitrovic alongside Kun and Lukaku.

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah I know what you mean, I'm generally always a 3-4-3 guy. But with a really strong 5 in midfield in 33 & 35 (fixtures and players - see above), a BB in 34 and a fairly easy route to Deeney/Iggy/Defoe in 36 (who have another double and great fixtures) - I think it's a very viable strategy.

        You think Rashford is more at risk than Lingard once Rooney is back?

        1. Jigger & Pony
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I think so. His minutes will be managed. Rooney will go up top imo to get his confidence back, particularly against AVL and CPL. Rashford could come on as a sub.

        I think this week's template is a little different to last weeks with Sanchez, KdB, Martial and Mitrovic shooting up. The rest though seem pretty stable.

        I doubt 52% brought in Mahrez

          Cheers Balders. Liking that KDB number, though obviously that was pre-goal, so..

            • 12 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            pre-start and pre-goal I reckon he'll be around 50% if given the green light to start again this weekend.

              I think that's a bit much. He's expensive and many will keep Aguero anyways and want Sanchez, etc.

              you going to ignore him now that he unexpectedly rose?

                • 12 Years
                9 years, 9 months ago

                True though people seem to be ditching Ozil left right and centre now after he blanked in a 4-0 win.

                I won't be ignoring him, just not getting him this week. I'll probably do Kane -> Martial and Bolasie -> KdB in gw34 now instead.

    DDG / Darlow
    Coleman / Moreno / Bellerin
    Coutinho / Payet / 5.1?? / Sanchez / Lanzini
    Kane / Kun / Lukaku

    Will I get KDB for Kane is he essential?? His next 4 fixtures looks great??

    1. Najoman86
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      To be honest, I think losing Kane is the wrong choice.

      1. White Hart Kane
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Same here. If not these next few gws then by the end of the season you'll regret

      2. FPL ElasticO
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Yaah, I'm 100% agreed with you but this KDB hype is worrying me?? & the I can't delay my transfer as of the price rise

        1. Najoman86
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Either way, wait until after City's UCL match against PSG before making a call.

          Chances that KDB may be rotated/rested at some stage?
          4 games in the next 12 days (07/04-19/04) PSG, WBA, che/new

          1. FPL ElasticO
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            This KDB hype might end in a disarray for many FPL managers

              the quotes are very encouraging:
              "We are going to see, because now we can start preparing for that game," said Pellegrini, when asked if De Bruyne will be ready for the match.

              "There wouldn't be any risk to play him again so soon, because it was not a muscle injury."

              "He's a very technical player, he had worked the last 10 days hard in training, and he worked on football twice in the week and he did very well," said Pellegrini.

  28. niloh1

    which defence is better for BB on 34?

    a) ddg, robles, bellerin, gabriel, sakho, simpson, moreno
    b) darlow, robles, bellerin, gabriel, sakho, simpson, smalling

    1. Ibracadabra´s Spell
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      B because DDG and Robles have blank at GW35 so that will leave you with no GK.

      1. Ibracadabra´s Spell
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Can you go Mignolet instead and downgrade Smalling to Reid/Dawson?

        1. niloh1
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          yeah I could but I really want manu defence, they got really good fixtures

          1. Ibracadabra´s Spell
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            But then you will have to play with no GK or use a FT in GW35.

    2. Trae44
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Don't know why you didn't just say DDG and Moreno or Darlow and Smaling but A

    3. White Hart Kane
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      A, darlow worthless

    4. Najoman86
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Essentially - DDG/Moreno v Darlow/Smalling

      B for mine

  29. Mancunian

    Really want to get Coleman in after looking at his attacking stats

    This is my current wc defence:

    Rob - Mig
    - Bellerin - Gab - Clichy - Simpson - Darmian

    What's the best way to get Coleman in? Or should I stick what I have
