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 soure likely to play all 4 games in the next two weeks?
Possibly
Here I am trying to find 3.7m in my team to keep Kane alongside Lukaku and Aguero. 😕
Have you checked down the sofa??
AND in the dryer!
Oh fiddlesticks!!!
If some of those overpaid players in your squad could only sacrifice some of their wages...
I'm thinking of getting kun out for the same reason. Left with 9.4m for last 3 defenders
Kun has been probably the 2nd best attacker in the league the last 6 matches. 2nd to Kane. It's tricky.
Morning DZ
Pls which of these WC teams and what changes would you make? Thanks
Team A (0.5 ITB)
Robles Darlow
Gabriel Bellerin Smalling** Sakho Simpson
KDB Sanchez Payet Mahrez Coutinho
Aguero Lukaku Rashford**
Team B (0 ITB)
Robles Darlow
Gabriel Bellerin Mangala** Sakho Simpson
KDB Sanchez Payet Mahrez Coutinho
Aguero Lukaku Mitrovic**
Mitrovic or Martial?
Mart, but Mitrovic if you need the cash for the rest of your squad
Morning DZ,
Pick a pair
A) KdB & Lanzini
B) Sanchez & Lingard
Mids : Lennon Payet Coutinho
A
Well A, but only because of Lingard.
I'd be gutted to go without Sanchez. Can you save the money some other way than buying Lingard?I can degrade migs to Robles but I wouldn't have a gw35 gk with ddg being undroppable
You can degrade Mignolet!? That doesn't sound very fair!
What!? Get him to strip off, poke fun at his manhood, that sort of thing??Seriously.... Migs and DDG is very expensive. Maybe there's another option. Darlow maybe? I know that doesn't inspire you.
Downgrade was what I meant. Ddg and darlow is a good choice.
Btw how's your wc team coming along?I know... Just been my usual sarcastic self 😀
Here's mine:
Mignolet - Robles
Bellerin - Fuchs - Sakho - Gabriel - Delaney
Sanchez - De Bruyne - Payet - Coutinho - Lanzini
Aguero - Kane - Lukaku
How do you think it's coming along? I'm pretty settled at the momentThat's one helluva midfield! That SV might've helped you big time. And when are you planning to use TC?
Thanks mate!! Yeah, it's good to finally have my TV pay off, because I've been cursing all the low cost, in-form options allseason that have meant my rivals could have a pretty similar team, while I sit on 5M in the bank.
Well this is definitely a BB team, and I'm WCing this week, so cant TC Lukaku this week, so I'm going to do so GW37. Maybe it will be Payet of a Liverpool player.Yeah payet for gw37 seems juicy.
How's my (poor TV) WC team
Ddg Migs
Fuchs Bellerin Darmian Gabriel Sakho
Sanchez Payet Cout Lingard Lennon
Aguero Kane LukakuIf you're struggling for TV (or even if not), DDG + Migs is VERY expensive. I realise Robles would leave you without a GW35 keeper, and DDG is a great pick (who I'd love to have), so maybe you could go for Darlow.
That could give you some cash to upgrade Lingard/Lennon.
Strike forcen and defence is great, as is most of your midfield. I'd rather upgrade one of them two, so you don't mind the other being bench fodder if needs be.
I'd be worried about Lingard's minutes when Rooney is back.
Really good squad though, considering you reckon you've a poor TB
Sanchez & Iwobi???
I think i am pretty sorted.
This has lasted a while 24 hours.
Robles Darlow
Smalling Bellerin Clyne Ward Gabriel
Sanchez Payet Mahrez Lingard Coutinho
Kane Aguero Lukaku
Same as mine!
What position are you?Also will you take Ward out next week or save your transfer?
Morning DZ!! Hope we're all well.
I'm just thinking, I'm happy with my team now, so could we just fast forward to Sat morning please!?Upvote
care to share your team? 😀
Sure....
Mignolet - Robles
Bellerin - Fuchs - Sakho - Gabriel - Delaney
Sanchez - De Bruyne - Payet - Coutinho - Lanzini
Aguero - Kane – LukakuThat is one large budget
It's not bad is it!? 😀
I had 113M+ before losing by high-investment players, such as Mahrez, Ozil, Toby and Butland.
Still 109.7M now 😎
Your SV is disgusting!
😆
I'm hoping my ML rivals are going to think the same when the game updates on Sat.
That's why I want to fast forward! 🙂Don't like your profile link....
Reminds me that I've just sold 3 of the top 4 scoring players in the entire game 😐
Nice team. Happy with no United?
Resigned is a better word.
Can't afford Smalling or DDG without butchering my team, and I'm gambling on keeping Kane ahead of Martial.
I know the Utd defence could hurt me, but I'm hoping my attackers will make up for it.
And CS's are lost in a heartbeat, then you're gutted.Fair enough. Sacrifices have to be made somewhere.
Indeed! Are you getting there with yours??
Could I get some opinions on my poor man's WC team.
Robles darlow
Huth ward sakho bellerin Gabriel
Sanchez kdb Lennon payet lingard
Aguerro lukaku martial
Any improvements advised? If I did huth to Simpson ill have 0.7 in bank.
Massive respect to any helpers gagging to beat my friend , side bet
Saving on Simspon could get you lanzini for lingaard. Not sure on lingaard minutes.
This ^
Lingard was my biggest concernThanks both.. Just made this move this very second. Was def worried about lingsrd but saw so much mention of him... Huge rotation risk?
To be fair, he's playing pretty regularly at the moment, but Rooney is set to come back.
It's unclear whether Rashford or Lingard would be sacrificed, but by concern would by that at 4.3M you have nowhere to go with him if you need to.
Rashford looked like he gassed fairly early in the 2nd half. I could see Rooney coming on for Rashford after 60 minutes or so in both matches.
Fair assessment assuming Rooney doesn't actually start
And personally, IMO, if you can't afford Fuchs, don't bother with Huth and go for Simpson.
If you currently have 0.0 ITB, I think you're doing very well with your budget, as there are an awful lot of value enablers in there.
If I'm honest, it's a slightly risky team, but one that could really pay off.If you wanted to find some additional funds, one of KDB or Sanchez could go for Ozil, but I've just sold Ozil to enable those to personally.Nice one... I have played around with Sanchez to ozil and kdb but everything end up going back to them over taking better defence. Also my competition doesn't have wildcard and likely won't have either.... So I think it's best team can get given team value?
I think so mate. It's a very good team with the money you have. With Lanzini in there it's even better.
And as I say, I'm preferring KDB and Sanchez myself.
Good luck! How much are you having to make up on your mate?
Mitrovic or Martial?
Who is the better pick?
Please help.Only if you tell me how long a piece of string is...
Anyone's guess mate.
I'm plumping for Mitrovic, but the cost differential helps make that decision. Don't like Utd's attacking prowess, but Martial does have a couple of great fixtures.Statistically, Mitrovic. Among the top striker options based on recent form. Added benefit of a game in GW35.
Mitrovic
Quick question:
A) do Rojo->Darmian for 0.4
B) save 0.4 itb and stay with RojoHow many DGW players do you lot have for 33?
Me: Robles, Delaney, Dann, Bolasie, Lukaku(C)
And you can't talk me out of it because I wildcarded last week!3 Lukaku, Robles, Delaney.
Tpyed with Bolasie, but I think i'm over it.Ooops, thought I'd cancelled this.
3 Lukaku, Robles, Delaney.
Toyed with Bolasie, but I think i'm over it.Fair enough. An interesting one is Barkley. Statistically terrible but a lot of "casuals" will put him in simply because of his points tally. Scared of him getting some jammy points!
That is a very fair point.
He's got decent ownership anyway, and he's and "obvious" choice for a DGW.
I'm gonna stick with my gut feel on who will score more, as I can'y bring myself to sell any of my other midfielders for him.
Not sure having them three Palace players is a good thing
Will only have 3 Palace players for GW33 where they have 2 nice home games. After that I have 2FT
Probably 4
Wow. That's too many I reckon.
2/3 for me (none wildcarder)Wildcarding late, or already done?
Wildcarding in 36
Same as you Jags instead of Delaney
Nice. I tell you what, Jags nearly scored twice v ManU. You could get a goal for sure
Lanzini over Lingard?
Yes
uh huh
Without a doubt.
Final Draft ready for DGW 34....
RMT pls...currently 13 DGW players + Mahrez + Fuchs
Mignolet Robles
Bellerin Smalling Kolarov Clyne & Fuchs
Lanzini Coutinho Sanchez Fletcher & Mahrez
Aguero Lukaku Mitrovic
Also current mix gives me 11 playing in 35...2 FT's in 36
Not sure Kolarov counts as a DGW player. Will surely only start 1 game max
best replacement for kolarov
Azpi or a chelsea defender perhaps?
Would punt on Gabriel then upgrade Fletcher
+1
most nailed palace defender aside from Dann?
Delaney
**/Darlow
Gabriel, **, Sakho, Simpson, Bellerín
Lanzini, De Bruyne, Sánchez, Coutinho, Payet
Martial, Agüero, Lukaku
Almost there, last two spots got to:
A) DDG & Souare
or
B) Robles & Jagielka
Our government to procure a pornography detecting machine
I have 1.6mil to upgrade this WC team, where does the money go?
Hart Robles
Simpson Gabriel Sakho Bellerin Smalling
Coutinho KDB Bolasie Lanzini Sanchez
Mitrovic Lukaku Aguero
I'd love payet, can't seem to squeeze him in though, would also love attacking man utd coverage, any glaring holes in this line-up?i'd even consider Gabriel > Coleman for old times sake
Martial is a better bet than mitrovic for me
Bol -> Payet
Other possible savers:
Cout -> Milner
Hart -> cheapo (my favoured route if you want Payet)Thanks for the suggestion, i think i just need to weigh up the potential gain of Payet vs the downgrading of other players, the more i think the less i feel Payet is a must have at least until 36/37
Especially while West Ham have a chance of the Champions League. If they win the cup QF and drop in the league then not so pressing
A) Martial and Fuchs
B) Mitrovic and SmallingA
B
B for me
B
B
B
Thanks all. Looks like B the clear winner. Would have felt uneasy going in to 34 without United defence.
Do you think Utd - Palace game could end 0-0?
Maybe its worth it keeping Palace defs for DGW34 too?
If Utd play their usual boring game, and Palace steps up as they would be perfectly happy with a draw fighting for staying up, maybe they'll cancel each other out. Or is Palace defence uncapable of CS?Your choice
Stats says all about palace defenders
True. They also say something about Utd attackers too
Yes. Don't touch either
Lukaku TC anyone?
Yeah. Not hearing much about TC.
I'm doing it.
Palace and Watford defence is the worst in the league
A lot of people are WC'ing so they don't have the ability to do it.
I'll be TC in 37
Too risky, bad form and Everton nothing to play for. Payet in 37 for me
See just above
Sanchez 34
Alexis in 34 for me
Any update on Kompany lads? Will he miss the dgw for sure?
best triple captain option for GW34 vs GW37?
to me it looks like Sanchez vs CoutinhoLukaku GW 33
interesting...
I am currently thinking Payet 37. But if you aren't doing bench boost then Sanchez in 34
foolishly used BB many weeks ago. currently torn between
TC Lukaku GW33 (thanks WTH), WC next week, or
WC this week, TC Sanchez GW34, or
WC 34, TC somebody GW37Choose the wildcard that benefits you most. Any of those captain choices are fine. IMO Sanchez 34 has the highest ceiling, but not worth changing WC plans for
Bit of a left field question this one, final few pieces coming together.
A) Darlow and Jags
B) Robles and Jonny Evans
Currently leaning towards A so I have a goalkeeper for 35 (other one is DDG)
Thoughts?
A
A
A
But only because of the GW35 thing
UTD cheapest Def who will play both games?
DDG
DDG, unfortunately. But him of Smalling is a must for me.
Surely the ultimate dullard move is to triple captain Lukaku in 33, where the variance is low due to his dominance of the poll.
I can't bring myself to be this dull though and am saving for 37!Dull?
Not at allI'm say it's risky based on Everton's current form. Certainly not dullard
What I mean is it is the lowest risk triple captaincy option because the effective ownership of lukaku will be so high. I'm guessing over 170% in top 10k.
In 37 it will be much more widely spread and you could see a massive swing
iwobi vs lingard for 34?
I would say iwobi has more upside but less security
Ward or Delaney? Who's more of an attacking threat? Delaney's goal last week was pretty jammy!
Posted this last night...
What do you think of this latest draft, had to sacrifice Sanchez and keep Ozil to accommodate KDB...
DDG, Darlow
Sakho, Bellerin, Gabriel, Delaney, Simpson
Couthino, Ozil, KDB, Payet, Mahrez
Martial, Aguero, Lukakaaaaaaa
I may actually bring in Barkley or Lennon for Couthino for the GW33 WC then transfer one of them out for Couthino in 34.
Any thoughts?
(No Sanchez or Eve defender/GK :cry:)In fact, I think I've done a u turn on this now... 🙄
I can't stomach a team without sanchez. But you are the best player on this site so what do i know? 😀
Very nice!!
The lack of Sanchez is mildly terrifying...
And DDG is a great pick, but is forcing Darlow, unless you can rationalise a transfer from Robles to someone for GW35 (which covers the Everton defender tears)I am not keen on this lack of Sanchez either, no doubt I will do a u-turn !
See below and Sanchez is a TC candidate GW34.
Sacrifice Martial to Rashford and have both.
Where do I go from there?
Having a 4.5m striker with no £s in the bank, leaves me a bit high and dryNot Really, you can only play 8 up front and your others are potential point scorers. A 3rd striker with 2 DGW's is not shabby.
I'm with you on that. Son't like painting myself into a corner.
Although maybe Lanzini does that to me a little.Agree about Rashford. Not Lanzini.
4.9m MF. Good bench player. Have most your budget in your starting 11. You will only play all 15 once (BB)Fair point!
I'm cool then 😀
I think robles-migs is a cheaper and better combo than ddg-darlow
also simpson->sailor saves some more cash
This is my first draft that has survived 48 hours:
Robles - Mignolet
Bellerin - Sakho - Simpson - Gabriel - Delaney
De Bruyne - Sanchez - Coutinho - Payet - Lanzini
Aguero - Lukaku - Martial
0 itb, thinking somthing like Delaney and Martial to Otamendi and Defoe in GW 35. What do you think?
Still undecided on Martial over Kane myself, even if it means having KDB
KDB must be sacrificed.
Amen
