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.
Hmm..
Simpson or Mahrez this week?
Not sure if I can bench Bellerin after getting so many attacking returns (and ownership!) in the last few weeks..
Mahrez of course
He's not gonna get a goal/assist every week. Bench him.
Replied last page on that!
Start Mahrez madra.Yeah, Mahrez has gotta start.. Ye are right.
Still undecided on banking on Bellerin's attack or Simpson's defence.. But thanks for the thoughts all!
Bench Bellerin easily this gw. I am anyways.
NCNBB 😉
Hopefully my interpretation of that is correct:
Never Care never bench boostNever Captain Never Bench Baines was the original P 😉
Martial or Mitrovic for GW34?
Straight match up with nothing else to consider?
Martial.Martial-those fixt and nailed
I'm really struggling to fit Payet into my team.
While brushing my teeth this morning I had a thought that I could have Payet+Firmino (already have Coutinho), instead of KDB + Milner.
That does sound better in isolation but it means a -4 in GW35 to get rid of Payet to then bring him back in GW37. Not even sure who I'd want to bring in for him.
Why not getting rid of somebody else on GW35?
Just thinking of that actually....helps to think out loud 🙂
Maybe I could offload Smalling for someone instead and bench Lanzini/Payet/Lukaku.
Still means a -4 though as I'd need to offload Delaney and Smalling. And no, Delaney stays 😉Smalling out 100% imo. Poor fixtures after the double.
I wouldn't consider this terrible after the blank:
Leicester (h)
Norwich (a) / West Ham (a)
Bournemouth (h)Leicester is a tough, tough game.
Norwich and West Ham will both be cup finals away from home (in terms of relegation fight and CL fight respectively)
Bournemouth (H) looks like a nice fixture, but for 6.5ish million, I think you'd be overspending on a United defender after the DGW34 just for the sake of GW38 against a team that might even score....Not terrible, but when you include the blank 35, they're definitely poor.
I'd look at it as...
We've been decent enough at home. The reverse fixture with Leicester was very tight and that was back when they were scoring a lot.
A defender with a double without having to make another transfer. Albeit not a fantastic one, I'd still hope for something from Norwich at least.
Then Bournemouth.And with KDB+Milner the blank doesn't matter as I can bench Smalling. Plus I'm 4 points better off!
Sure go for it then, don't let me talk you out of it 🙂
I still think he's too expensive, but I may be wrong and I'm not exactly a good representative of the top 10k's hive mind 😀Well neither am I....I'm sure you're doing better than me.
It's tough to explain exactly why I don't think Payet is an option for me....the plan is on a spreadsheet and in my brain basically 🙂
Just trying to think out loud on here. Not sure if Payet is worth a -4 or 10 men in GW35 which is what it ultimately comes down too.
That's even if Firmino is fit!As someone with both Lanzini and Payet, I think he may be one of the very few players worth a hit at this stage.. his form is undeniable and his ownership is growing.. The blank in 35 is a headache and a half though.
I'm in a similar position with
Coleman
Lukaku
Klose
Lanzini
Payet
Ruddy
and only 1FT to use.. meaning I'll probably be doing something like Coleman + Lukaku -> Gabriel + Sturridge for a hit.Here's the next problem then....
If this is my team in GW35
Darlow
Bellerin - Gabriel - Sakho
Sanchez - Firmino - Coutinho
Aguero - Mitrovic
Blanks = Robles - Smalling - Delaney - Lanzini - Payet
Who do I even hit for? 🙂 Smalling+Delaney to Azpilicueta+Kirchoff?
Go with 10?! Argh! Payet is a real headache for me when for others he's a must have.Sturridge - nice! 🙂
I'd 100% lose Delaney + Smalling anyways.
West Ham have a good GW37 offensively and I really wouldn't expect much rotation for those two mids of yours..
Not sure who you'd get in, Kirchhoff is a good shout, Klose is another (with a decent DGW37).. you could then get another premium defender (Fuchs in championship-winning party form? Alderweireld? Ivanovic/Azpi?) in for Smalling..
Lots to happen before that comes into play though 😀 I'll be jealous of Smalling in DGW34..
How come you've only got 2 strikers in this team??
Lukaku on the bench as he blanks 🙂
Keep Everton assets
Keep pool assets
Keep Wham assets
You need to think about Chelsea/Sunderland then from there
Azpi/Defoe/Costa/Pva could be targets Andy.Payet is in the plans for GW37 anyway, so even if I don't have him this week I will by GW37
Why waste a transfer on an 'essential' player imho?
Why is it a waste? 🙂
I'll have 8 players playing in GW37 and 2 free transfers over GW36+37 to make that 10, including Payet coming in.
Not sure if this will help but it's my basic plan currently - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fEPqcxiH88MTmx1SyPwUHmzEgT6s7UxFCaSqoH6QdpU/edit#gid=0Ok gottcha,
It's the Milner/Bola move that's blocking him really based on funds I take it,
Maybe your right this way but there's a -4 in there too I take it so it's swings and roundabouts,
You could find a way just to go Sanchez/Kdb/Cout/Payet/Lanzini and if you still want to punt on Bola this week use Cout/Payet as the placeholder,(ie Bola > Pool mid) Cout preferably as this allows you to see if Firminho (8.1) is back and just play 3 mids in 35, benching both Wham guys in prep for 37.I'm nowhere near being able to afford - Sanchez/Kdb/Cout/Payet/Lanzini unfortuantely.
It would have to be KDB to step out for Payet then I could upgrade Milner to Firmino.
Bolasie isn't really the issue, although he is taking up a transfer I suppose.If I'm honest Andy, your prob trying to squeeze too much into that midfield,
I'd lose Kdb before Payet, you could just go double pool mid now or again bola this week then Firminho in next,
Cut your cloth to suit Andy.
It is,
Can you go 4-3-2 in 35 Andy?This could be a good shout, go in with 10 men.
Well I did mean
1-4-3-2 😉
That's prob what I'm looking at.
I could, but KDB+Milner would mean 11 men with no hit. Not sure if that's such a terrible option.
Payet should be the first name on the team. He has to be there one way or another. Much prefer him to KDB personally. Maybe a hit in 35 won't be too bad ...
Payet owned by 31%, KDB by 5%
Two ways of looking at that. KDB won't hurt as much not owning him. KDB will potentially get me up the rankings quicker...And let's not forget those two home games in 37 and lots of TCs on him
I'll have him in GW37 though.
See above, that seems wasteful to me when your on a WC now.
I'm one of the brave (read: stupid) souls who is going with Lanzini over Payet.
Genuinely think they have the same potential output between now and the end of the season and if so, then Payet isn't worth the extra £3.1m to get him.
I may be wrong, but that's my gamble.I'm going with both 🙂
That would be ideal, but with Aguero, Kane, Lukaku, Sanchez, KDB, Bellerin and Hart I've realised you can't have everyone.
Me too 😎
Me three 😎
I'm going Lanzini either way. Getting Payet would mean a West Ham double up.
I don't think Lanzini is a straight replacement for Payet really, but he's still a good option and as you say, for 3.1m less maybe worth it
Payet is not instrumental but £3.1m more, I don't think so. Think the benefit of the downgrade is well worth it.
I can see it from both sides and I am well aware that I could end up regretting not having him, but I agree with you: Lanzini over Payet gives a better balance to the team I want to create.
Same reason I am going Gabriel over Bellerin.
Whilst brushing your teeth!
Yeah - thinking about FPL too much 🙂
Go with 10 in 35. Save yourself 2ft's and smile all the way too the bank ",
Any way of seeing if a rival has activated their WC?
Nope.
You could track team value and try and work it out but that's about itReedy is one of the best I've seen at this,
Bookmark him if he's on here and just track his value, it's not as hard as you think.this.. Reedy's opponent analysis amazed me back in the Orange / Eire tournaments..
The mans a genius and should be knighted!
🙂I've got a spreadsheet for this! 🙂
You mean identifying what transfers have been made before the game has updated?
For team Cuba he was like a covert spy.
Ye were lucky to have such a talent on yere team 😉
Providing his visible team does not cost what his TV says it does, and he's (allegedly) made zero transfers, he's played his wildcard
Pick 2 to play this week:
A) Kosc (whu)
B) Gabriel (whu)
C) Sakho (STK)
D) Rojo (tot)
The other one is Dann, who I will play anywaySakho and Kosc
A and C
A and C
Thanks!
Guys why aren't you guys not posting about the Wimbledon tournament going on?
Also the link isn't updated.Repost:
A) De Gea, Clyne and Lennon
or
B) Mignolet, Jagielka and Mahrez?
B - Mahrez will outscore Lennon, sho also has the rotation threat
Would you guys recommend WC'ing this GW or for GW 37?
1 FT - £0.4 ITB
Butland - Fabianski
Otamendi - Dawson - Fuchs - Wimmer - Smith
Eriksen - Firmino - Sigurdsson - Mahrez - Lanzini
Aguero - Kane - VardyImmediately.
Why aha?
Hear him roar below.
This week. You've only got 5 DGW players and could end up falling behind and by GW37 it may be too late.
Ok, cheers! What are you doing in terms of the blank in GW35!?
I've managed to pick a squad of 15 that has:
2 DGW players for GW33
13 DGW players for GW34
10 players with a fixture in GW35 but 2 FTs by this point to make that up to 11.
Then, if I play my cards right) I could still end up with 10 DGW players for GW37 with no hit.
Good teams to focus on for this week: Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool. All have a fixture in GW35.You could consider keeping Kane and/or Mahrez (a lot are) and they also have decent fixtures in GW35.
Good luck.What's your team Hearmeroar!? Sounds good!"
Hart, Robles
Bellerin, Gabriel, Rojo, Sakho, Morgan
Sanchez, KDB, Coutinho, Lingard, Lanzini
Aguero, Kane, Lukaku
GW 34 - save transfer
GW35 - use one free to do Rojo -> Saints defender (playing the mighty Villa)
GW36 - 2FTs: Aguero -> Costa/Sturridge and bring a United defender back in (Smalling?)
GW37 - Bellerin -> Azpilicueta
GW38 - Costa -> Welbeck (playing the mighty Villa) 😛
Obvious risks with United defender but on the whole I'm relatively pleased.How've you afforded that!? I've tried doing that and I'm 3.6 out of budget!?
I lost a lot of ground early in the season chasing team value rather than points. I'm not behind in both mini leagues and OR is low.
I'm hoping that my value pays off now over the next 6 weeks!
WC this GW, no question
What's your team Hearmeroar!? Sounds good!
Good morning!
Getting all carried away with WC'ing for GW34, although my OR s*cks and still will after GW34!
Coming to the conclusion I'll limit myself to two Liverpool players. Reason is the possible need space to bring Sturridge in before DGW37 for triple captaining (not taking the risk for DGW34). Anyone else thinking the same?
Sanchez good TC for 34
Still torn whether to TC sanchez in GW34, BB in GWE37, or playing BBB in GW34. Yesterday I was on BB34, now I'm swaying back to TC34
Same here. Aiming for a Lukaku, Martial and Sturridge trident for GW37 (WCing in Lukaku and Martial for this week).
Two questions:
1. How big is rotation risk in GW34 for:
A) Rojo (50%?)
B) Darmian (25%?)
C) Mensah (90%?)
(0% means he'll play both, 100% means he won't play at all)
2. Keep Kane or get Martial?I think your spot on with utd defence
Martial will do well on DGW 34 but not sure otherwiseI doubt Darmian will play both. Too much competition now.
1) The only defender worth getting from Man U is Smalling, or De Gea. Every one else is a serious rotation risk.
2) I got rid of Kane for Martial this week. A risk, but the fixtures and the possibility of Martial going on a run is worth it.
Ozil or not to Ozil. He seems to be sure of getting 3bps even with one assist. I see many drafts without Ozil and I think it can prove very costly.
It seems it's one or the other Harvey, you may be right but one seems to have form tho other doesn't.
His numbers are still decent. Imminent explosion awaits.
Help!
A) Lovren
B) Sakho
C) Moreno
B fo' sure
B. Although A has looked solid recently and has better attacking potential than B.
How does this look?
Robles Darlow
Gabriel Bellerin Dawson Simpson Sakho
Payet Sanchez KDB Coutinho Lanzini
Mitrovic Aguero Lukaku
Mitrovic might become Rasford and upgrade Lanzini?I'm too anxious about having no United coverage for their double
Rojo in for Dawson but just can't be sure who will play
Looks good.
- I'm not a huge fan of two weak keepers, but I see the appeal in the value it gives to the rest of your team 🙂
- I think Lanzini is more likely to play both games than Rashford and arguably has a better points potential.
- Mitrovic is my third forward if I decide to sell Kane. He is on good form at the moment and seems a great punt.
I hear Hart is back in training? Many bringing him in?
I wont i believe. Too expensive and meh.
I'm really considering it
De Gea > Hart, gives me a tiny bit extra, and a playing keeper in 35Plus nailed City defence
I just somehow need to work out how to fit in United defence nowThat is the main issue when getting Hart over DDG. Easier to do DDG + Darlow 😀
Well i am looking at MCI defense, but nothing seems appealing ... Clichy can get a rest for one game after CL, Mangala is the only bet, but a rotation worry at 5.3 on wc? No thanks.Which makes Hart even more appealing no?
Nailed
Have a look at my WC below, would be interested in your thoughts on my balance and potential.
Hmm anyone thinking Sturridge instead of lukaku? They both have 4 games over the next 3 weeks
Issue is Sturridge has Europa League in the mix as well. Too many fixtures for him to play in all.
No chance. Dortmund in amongst all that.
Not having lukaku (c) this week is a massive OR risk. No one else looks close to me
What big downgrades are you making which you're hoping don't cost you too many points. My 3 ones are:
Payet > Lanzini
Bellerin > Gabriel
Martial > Rashford (out in GW35)
Leaves me with:
DDG/Darlow
Smalling/Jags/Gabriel/Delaney/Simpson
Alexis/KDB/Ozil/Coutinho/Lanzini
Kun/Lukaku/Rashford
Could be genius, could be a disaster. When Rashford nets his inevitable brace in GW34 I'm sure I'll be feeling pretty smooth!It is possible to have all of the heavy hitters in the front 8 by the way..
Ruddy - Darlow
Gabriel - Fuchs - Klose - Simpson - Sakho
Sanchez - Ozil - KdB - Payet - Lanzini
Kun - Kane - LukakuHa blobs how Lanzini is included in that category.
That lad is brilliant.
He's a half-price Payet 😉
haha. I guess all you need for that is 2 goals in the last 2 weeks
Well in terms of sub-5m midfielders, he's a heavy hitter 😉
he's a good option for benching boosting sides that week, I'll give you that.
Is he nailed on though? 2 games in quick succession, not long back from injury....I wouldn't be so sure! 😉Doos seems to think so..
And I'd argue that after so long out of the team, he needs way less of a rest than anyone else 😉
in my own personal opinion, I think Lanzini is destined for great things. Payet has stolen the spotlight (alá Ozil) but Lanzini plays like a more lethal version of Cazorla for someone so young.. Bilic agreed with me over dinner last night.totally agree that he looks a great prospect. I wouldn't double up on him & Payet though, especially with the blank afterwards.
I can get that with a slightly better def. 😉
You're a value-monster though HVT 😉 😉
Has lanzini reached heavy hitter status?
Lanzini "defines" heavy hitter status 😉
Close on!
No Coutinho in there?
Plus the defence is weak as a result. I'd like a bit more balance personally.
So I have all 3 chips left and WC too :/ Damn, I am not sure about what and when to use them...
-
Help anyone?Have you not heard of the legend that is (drumroll) ......
BALDERS!
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2016/03/29/maximising-the-double-gameweek-advantage/Thanks 🙂 I will read it after work...
So are any taking a risk on Darmian or Rojo?
Na going with SmallZ
Wish I could afford him
It's not just a risk... seems like a suicidal to me.
Will give myself the option of Dann to one of them next week. May just keep Dann though
No, LVG takes off def rather than attackers,
Ddg/Smalls/Martial.
Mata for punt
Lindy the enabler
Simples.This. I'm going with Smallz and Martial.
Same here Jazz 😎
Nah. DDG and Martial is good enough.
May have just hit the nail on the head?
Robles Hart
Smalling Bellerin Gabriel Sakho Clyne
Alli Mahrez Payet Ozil Coutinhio
Aguero Martial Lukaku
13 DGW
11 in 35
What do you think guys?Well Gabriella won't play both games but other than that yeah looks good
What are you basing that statement on?
Mert being available I'd guess, I'm inclined to agree with jazz
Mert has been dropped, he may get a game or reclaim the spot but no guarantee
Not sure that is correct.
I really do not like Alli + double LIV defense. Would rather get Simpson in the defense or someone else.
If you downgrade Hart to Mignolet you can fiddle with the other defendersNot bad. Couldn't sleep with out Sanchez in my bed though.
*team
Autocorrect?
Autoerrect
I'd punt on Everton or palace mid over alli but looks good otherwise
Liking your defense and GK combo! Hart + Robles makes GW33-35 really smooth
Would downgrade Clyne and upgrade Özil to Sanchez.
Bench 1 for this week:
A) Payet (ARS)
B) Marhez (sun)
C) Mitrovic (sou)C
A) martial and rojo / darmian
B) mitrovic and smallingB
B
A
Actually B 🙂
People who are going to WC 36 and BB 37, I thought I'm the one...
Are you planning to have 15 dgw players ?
Cool to have 3x players from below teams as they have nice GW38 fixtures
MU (BOU)
Everton (NOR)
West Ham (sto)
Liverpool (wba)
Problem is we may miss some City and Arsenal cover for 38 with their good fixtures as well.More I look at it, the more I definitely expect Gibbs to play one of the doubles in 34
Agree
I really dont think he will take Monreals place.
I don't think he will. Monreal has been first choice and nailed on since the start of the season.
Still think Bellerin & Gabiel will play 180 minutes.
Gibbs can play in midfield, mind you
Hi, I'm set for 15 x DGW BB in GW34 but wondering which are my weak links that I could still put right. Who's least nailed-on for 2 games?
DDG, Cech
Bellerin, Clyne, Sakho, Rojo, Funes Mori
Ozil, KDB, Firmino, Shelvey, Lennon
Aguero, Lukaku, Mitrovic
What would you change?
thanks 🙂Rojo, FM, KDB, Lennon
Few changes for me
Rojo to Gabriel
Shelvey to Townsend
Lennon to Bolasie/other
Funes Mori to JagsThanks to both of you 🙂
Here it is Wednesday with my WC already active and nothing is sorted. I guess that is what drunk Friday night transfers are for.
Yeah I've had to take screenshots of my good one do I don't forget all my detailed planning on s Saturday night (in Aus) drunken whim
Start one from:
A. Alli (MAN)
B. Martial (tot)
And one from:
C. Sakho (STK)
D. Bellerin (whm)A
D
Martial
BellersB and D
A D
Cheers all......Alli/Martial 50/50.....Bellers conclusive over Sakhospuds
Why are so many people buying Lanzini over Antonio?
Price
because hes cheaper and in top form
ANtonio played right back last game
Cos Byram and Tomkins were injured
Do we think wellbeck is starting all games these days? Ta
Not sure
thanks, this is exactly where i am atm, too 🙁
Robles Mignolet
Bellerin Gabriel Simpson Mangala Sahko
Sanchez KdB Payet Lanzini Coutinho
Aguero Martial Lukaku
Does it need Man United def?
I like the idea if Man City def. Mangala or Hart ?
Is Dann worth a punt?
