Paul With ten teams set for a pair of fixtures in the upcoming Gameweek, we turn to the members’ section and fire up some custom tables for your perusal.
In the first of a two-part series, we assess those players who have produced a minimum of four attempts on goal over their last four fixtures. In order to qualify for our assessment, the players must also have featured in at least three of their sides’ last seven league fixtures.
This is how my team is set up for GW 34.
Robles Darlow
Delaney Bellerin Sakho Smalling Koscielny
Lennon Coutinho Sanchez (C) De Bruyne Lanzini
Martial Lukaku Kun
1 FT & 0.00 ITB
Would you change anything?
Good job with Kosc. I'd save.
Thank you!
Save - you'll need the extra FT for next week
I'd save, really.
Thank you!
Morning all!
City result last night is another pain in the rotation nightmare, suddenly Aguero+KDB don't look great, especially for GW35. They may even be relatively safe for champions league next year at that point.
I have no idea whether to proceed with Bolasie to Milner as it will tie up my 3 Liverpool spots and I have a feeling I'm going to want Sturridge at some point.
I might even just do nothing in GW34, save the transfer and hope for the best 🙂
Same here. Although I only have 1 Liverpool rightn ow.
I'm considering saving and might play TC instead, especially if Bolasie blanks again and Jags isnt fit for GW34.
Amazing how things change in a week, I was all set on Bola>Firmo but now I'm not so sure, a bola performance and a pool win maya way me.
On the city front the int thing in our favour us that Pelle will see that Utd are looking at 6points and any slip up by them could see them in trouble-reduced mins all round for Kun/Kdb I'd say.
6 games left in the league for City, I'd expect both KdB and Kun to get at least 4 each.. hoping they get 5 each with a sub apiece.. Plenty of time to get a few hauls in this form 😉
If in doubt, save the FT
Nasri is an interesting option if you're not going Milner.
Not even in the CL squad so he's pretty sure on for GW35..
Good morning all!
Pretty happy KDB scored and MCI is through! Non-owner here.
I would like Pellegrini to win the whole thing.
On a side note, how mental was this place when the stretcher came for Aguero? 😀
Wait... Stretcher..?
Yup 😀
Yeah, in the first half some clown dragged a stretcher on after Kun got a small knock
It looked pretty serious in the first 15 seconds. I remember screaming in the pub, NOT HIM. NOT HIM! 😀
Since I bought Kdb 2...
🙁
Not happy with that purchase? 🙁
Ask me after the Doyble!
I had Özil (Sanchez) in there but tore up my WC draft for Kevin, I'm a big fan - but at this stage of the game;
Points > Fan !
Wont ask, since i will know the answer 😀
Not happy with my triple LIV, but thats what i decided to do last second when i took KDB out for the INO brothers.
Will BB this week and whatever happens happens. Debating if i should go -4 to ship Bolasie and Coleman or not.
Lol-debating a -4 here too!
Still dont know WHO to bring in tho! 😀 Need to have a gw in 35!
Was very happy. Selling Kun will free up lots of funds.
Is taking a - 12 too much?! Thinking Sanchez for Mahrez, Mitrovic for Lukaku and VVD for a pool or United defender. Want to captain Sanchez and looking like only way of sneaking him in! Thoughts?
Mitro has 2 games to save Newc, if ever there was a punt...
He's in my team....im expecting great things!
Like your thinking!
....it would be on the players playing Newcastle 😉 😉
Yeah keep him, her'll out score Lukaku in 34.
Do it !
Is a Liverpool defender worth investing in for the next 2 GWs? Looking to bring in Clyne...
Should be.
He has always been the best option for nailedness
Firminho or Milner?
Neither 😉
I mean.. eh... both... #mindgames.
And so it begins.....
You may have just caught me at an all time low! All previous have been squashed, my only hope is the 'langers curse'
😉
Ah ya might get lucky yet... I'm still foolishly considering KdB captain again... 😉
If i had my time again, id go for Milner! Maybe wait for Thursday and see what happens in their game v Dortmund
Milner for more security but watch for the lineup in EL.
Got both the INO brothers, maybe Milner is a better choice.
Bolasie -> Milner will probably be my move this week.
I think I'm saving the 3rd Pool spot for Sturge
I'm saving my 1st Pool spot for Studge..
Martial needs to go after 34, but I was looking to sack Smalling for Sturge funds
Sounds good to me 🙂
I've got Milner. Actually feels good.
Thanks all, that's cleared that up for me....
FA cup and PL on a Champions League night?
Isn't that really frowned upon at UEFAs?
Someone must have bribed pretty hard
Sepp has his hands involved...
Will be watching CL and getting the LUKAKU goals assisted by COleman notifications.
I'm the other way around. Bayern and Barca seems like done deals.
Gonna watch every second of that Lukaku blank
That is just plain wrong. Atletico will win vs Barca.
I suddenly remember the first leg. Torres goal and 2x yellows... Clutz
Does Torres play tonight?
Nah, he isnt. Which is good. Griezman will score a goal vs Barca. Cant wait to watch the game to be fair.
A 7pm kick off eased the negotiations
Bench Boosting this GW
Your thoughts?
DDG-Robles
Sakho-Gabriel-Bellerin-Delaney-Simpson
San(C)hez-Payet-Lennon-Firmino-Coutinho
Mitrovic-Lukaku-Aguero
Cheers 😉
Sure why not! Decent bench to boost 🙂
This game week will be a lottery. Bench boosting means buying more tickets. Good luck!
Newcastle v City prediction?
Could it be one of those Aguero 5 goal games, or is Benitez smarter than that?
Benitez is smarter and Newcastle are less likely to capitulate at home..
1-3 imo
Well doesnt really matter who leads a group of semi-professionals. Still semi-professional (talking about their attitude. Only person actually trying is Townsend. Sad. MAAAAYBE MITRO)
Yep agreed, terrible defence too, but I still don't see them conceding 5/6 goals at home for some reason.
As a Kun + KdB owner though... 😀 😀
The Newcastle players look to have given up. 6 goals conceded in their last two games to Norwich and Saints...
It's like they don't realise they can still avoid relegation this season...
Well the mentality of the players is what brought them there. Absolutely horrendous.
So much this
Going for Aguero(C) Prophet?
Or do you have faith in Wenger to break down Pulis and Pardew's men?
I am really torn. Had Sanchez C the whole time. Not even sure i will leave the armband on him. Aguero's minutes are what concerns me. I dont see a lot of rotation on the cards to be fair for gw 34, but... MEH.
It will be a last minute call. I do believe that ARS need to win these two games to be "safeish" for the CL spot next season.
Aguero (c) so gor you I take it GB, game time not a wirry?
In English please 😉
*for
* Worry
😉
What's your take on Newc right now pap?
Doomed or the great escape?
Something really has to change in the mentality and I can't see it happening. Problem is it's been allowed to fester first under Carver and then McClaren
As i mentioned its the mentality of the team. Eventho they were bad last season, they had that scrap mentality to them. Now its just. Lets get this over with so i can leave this place.
Yeah, anyway I'm off to work now to agonise over our demise for another day! 😀
On him atm, open to being converted though 🙂
I don't see Aguero's minutes being restricted in the slightest. The Premier League is surely the priority for any team with something to play for? I don't think they'll bank on beating two of Barca, Real, Bayern for UCL qualification next season 😀
Alexis is tempting.
I do believe they have a decent chance. Bayern is nowhere close to their best at the moment and they stand a chance vs all teams. Even Barca might lose Primera to Atletico. They play the last match of the season against each other.
I honestly think they have a chance at the finals.
Dont see Kuns minutes being managed in gw 34 tho.
I think City are screwed, but then again, I would, wouldn't I 😉
Haha, i really do not. I believe that Atletico is going to be the worst matchup for them by far.
How I'd rate the remaining teams:
Barca
Atletico
Real
Bayern
.
Manchester City
.
.
Benfica
I do not rate Barca at the top at all. Their recent games didnt show they are a team that was demolishing everyone last 12 months. Not sure. I believe Atletico goes through. Would also Love Bayern to get knocked out by Benfica.
For me
Barca
.
.
Bayern
.
.
.
.
.
Real Madrid
Athletico
Man City
.
.
.
Benfica
I'd love if Bayern were knocked out by Benfica too, but it would be an upset.
Atletico have a serious chance to knock out Barca. Barca aren't playing at the top of their game and Atletico are the one team that know best how to frustrate the Catalans, they're incredibly difficult to play against. Atletico are better suited to playing Barca than anyone else.
With that front three though, I'd still put Barca above the rest, on their day they can be unplayable. They're not demolishing everyone anymore, but they're effective and they win without leaving first gear most of the time due to relying on the brilliance of whichever one of their strikers wants to turn it on that day..
Barca will come out with a big win tonight imo, Real style. Those two clubs hate having their superiority questioned.
Athletico are an outstanding team, but Barca are something else.
I would like to take you on that if you want.
If you believe that Barca will demolish Atletico care taking them to win and leaving me with Atletico and draw for something?
Name change? 😀
It would be an upset. Pretty sad Juve didnt knock them out.
I do believe that Barca's front 3 is the best ever attacking force in any club, at any point in history. Just me tho.
Also, i believe Atletico will deal with them and will win tonight.
Tight on funds atm with festival season approaching 🙂
And I only "bet" on guaranteed wins now after my close shave when betting £1500 on Barca last season (last minute goal won me the £££) 😀
Hahaha, fair enough mate! 🙂
Benitez is smarter, whether the players are is a different matter
You reckon Mitro (just bought!) is worth holding onto Pap for the next 2?
I am! 😀
It could well be. Benitez is a disaster.
However, he has had a stroke of luck in getting Dummett back.
Benitez has lost a grip on football for the last 8 years. Maybe even more.
Well if Dummett is your saving grace, than ...
He's actually bloody good, Prophet. Also, he actually cares for his club. Not too many like him in that dressing room.
Never said he is bad, just that if he is your saving grace then you are in a world of trouble.
The main problem they have is the dressing room. Mentality, as i mentioned earlier. They have some very talented players on the roster.
It is. There are at least two in there who need shooting, pour l'encourager l'autre ...
Benitez is very busy playing his talent slightly out of position, à la von Bile ...
Absolutely true. Guillotine style execution.
Most of the coaches want to show their IMPACT on the team and act smart. He bloody tried playing RM as Atletico Madrid. Doesnt work mate. DOESNT work.
Agreed, love Dummett. I don't think he'll be enough though.
If Steven Taylor is fit, Newcastle are screwed.
He is, and they are. Although I am told that Dummett may well smack him one.
I do have to agree it seems NEW is the second team getting relegated. I would absolutely make all of those bloody priKs to stay and fight their way through the championship or they get shot.
Ok... For GW 34 and GW35... (not to mention beyond)
Sturridge or Kane??
Sturridge. Extra games. Also Kane has some tough fixtures
Kane's fixture are good, but as the other are saying, two fewer games
Thanks mate. What are your thoughts on the below follow-up?
Ask me after the Dortmund game. I don't like this rotation of Klopps
Agree mate, and I won't be making any call till I see how may minutes he gets on Thursday. What are your thoughts on the follow-up (assuming we have comfort he starts both in GW34)?
He might very well bench him in one of the games (bou), playing Firm or Origi on top
You are right, of course. It's a minefield, the Liverpool team, at the moment.
And unlike many here, I'm be cheering for them to get past Dortmund, as they're my team, but that wouldn't help me in FFS much!
Sturridge
Cheers EH! What are your thoughts on the below follow-up?
Worth it
I think so!! 😀
Then the follow-up is... worth a hit?
See what happens with Sturridge tonight.
Better pick ?
A/ Milner / Clyne / Smaling
B/ Firmino / Moreno / Rojo
Garanted start vs more points ?
No. In this case it'll be guaranteed starts = more points. A.
I like A for the secured starts.
Any sign Kun Aguero might be given a rest in the coming series of matches?
He seemed tired and on the brink of injury yesterday.
Kun seemed tired and on the brink of injury? It must be a day with a 'y' in it.
🙂
😆
Pelle to "do a Wenger" and play Kun into the ground until he gets injured 5 minutes into GW35.
City go on to lose the CL semi.
I'd be more worried if Agureo didn't limp around.
Playing the full game is a pretty good indicator that he isn't close to injured
who are you guys replacing Sakho with?
Why replace him?
Surely he was just rested for the Europa this week?
i'm keeping, just hoping he's had his turn being given a game off..
Sakho personally
Jags -> Creswell or Rojo?
United is such a minefield - done with trying to second guess LVG.
Rojo
I'd be tempted by Funes but of those two Cresswell for me, particularly with Carroll finding form.
Got the same Jags problem, and thinking Cresswell. Should be naield on for two DGW's, attacking threat, but less likely to get clean sheets though
Morning Lads & Lassies
WC in GW 32 - so need some advise on who to bring in for Jagielka in GW 34 for BB
Current team is
Mignolet Robles
Smalling Bellerin Jagielka Moreno Gabriel
Ozil Firmino Payet Antonio Mahrez
Aguero Lukaku Kane
Rojo, Reid and Dawson for DGW?
Only Dawson available for GW 35 and tough games in GW 34!
Help would be greatly appreciated!!
Is Origi worth a DGW punt?
Seems in favour doesn't he - if playing catch up, why not. Decent alternative to Martial / 3rd striker
I can see JK playing two strikers very game now....worked really well against Stoke in the second half
*every
Martial or lukaku??
Or kane or studge?
Rate my GW 34-37 plan

wow
GW34: Sahko, Coutinho and Clichy won't be starting in the 1st match. Lennon and Lukaku most likely be benched in the 2nd match to prepare for FA Cup semis.
You really think Lukaku will be benched? Not much I can do but hope as many make two games as possible since I'm not spending any more transfers
GW35: Azpi and Fab rotation risk. Avoid Chelsea players.
Ok cool- you think I should opt for Sunderland then?
Defoe and Kirchoff are the ones I'm looking at. I can't really recommend Khazri in his form.
Tho Azpi rotation risk is much lower than Chelsea attack risk
Chelsea faces Spurs in 36 and Leicester in 38. So our only choice is Sunderland, unless you want to guess Hiddink's mind on who will be rotated next, or to risk your Chelsea players against the top 2 teams in the league.
Their 2 away matches in the double doesn't look promising anyway. Sunderland should be still in relegation battle while Liverpool is the on-form team to avoid atm.
Remember that Courtois whom most thought is most nailed in the team was benched in the last match.
Hence why my plan was to bench Chelsea in 36- I guess it's something to contemplate
Andy Carroll or Anthony Martial for the next gameweek???
The latter.
but he plays on the left and is less likely to score. Whereas carroll plays lone striker
Martial scores enough from the left.. Carroll doesn't always play, and plays Leicester first.
Carroll. Avoid MUN attack.
Origi as a punt is tempting me more and more every day.. tempted to do Deeney - Origi for GW34
See how many minutes he gets on Thursday, if not many then that's a good punt.
Ya'll feel Mitovic would bring home some points in the DGW34?
At least 2
Watford and Arsenal have decent defences. Who knows. DGWs are a lottery.
Mitrovic seems like one those DGWers that could sneak a big haul though. Big fish in small ponds tend to do well in doubles...
What's Arsenal got to do with it?
West Brom play Watford and Arsenal in the double.
This should be obvious but don't want to be burned by Sanchez
A) Ozil Smalling
B) Sanchez Rojo -4
A. Avoid MUN fullbacks.
+1
A
B for me
Morning chaps. What to do for GW34?
Robles
Delaney - Sakho - Bellerin
KDB - Sanchez - Payet - Coutinho
Aguero - Wickham - Lukaku
Darlow - Gabriel - Mahrez - Simpson
A) Mahrez > DGW Player so i can field 14 DGW players pending injuries or being benched
B) Simpson > Moreno
C) Wickham + KDB > Sturridge + Lindgard/6.5m
D) Save
I'm using BB too
I assume you have 1 FT?
Yes
Id save, your bench is good enough and they have a decent fixture in 35
Cheers KOL
I would save personally.
Ok thanks Prophet
D or swap Delaney imo.
Cool cheers IM - if i save then next GW i have 2FT so will definitely do Wickham + Delaney out
Can you list these players on who you think will get the most game time over the next 3 matches. Minutes out of 270.
Firmino
Coutinho
KdB
Gabriel
Kosc
Firmino - 180
Coutinho - 120
KdB - 180
Gabriel - 250
Kosc - 270
I hope you're wrong about Coutinho haha
i hope so too
Kosc most nailed with the rest a minefield
Thats what I was afraid of
Sooo.. Been thinking for a while now
Wich pair would you choose and why?
1. Agüero & Lindgaard
2. Agüero & Mata
3. Martial & De Bruyne
30 points behind in the mini-League,My opponent has Both Martial and Aguero. Thanks
2 imo
2 then 3 I don't think 1 is a very good option with Lingard, Iwobi and Lanzini are both better alternatives IMO
Agree,Lindgaard is a bit of a long shot, i already Have Özil and Payet so thats enough for me, but i Have a good feeling for martial still
IT's unlikely but if Mata is moved back to the number 10 he will start getting more points, similarly with Martial playing left wing but I actually Martial OOP isn't as badly affected points wise as Mata's. This has made me change my mind and I now prefer 3
Just a heads-up. Sakho is in a spot of disciplinary bother, and it has become known that the velvet glove of Slaven Bilic holds an iron fist in these matters. We still haven't found Amalfitano's body ... 😀
So our forwards ar thus, for the moment:
Carroll
Emineke
Valencia
Make of that what you will. Diafra is much loved, but has definitely put up a black.
Any word on what actually happened? Diafra is a very good player...
Cheers mate!
Failed to fulfil a contractual obligation, then pulled a sicky, then got all foulmouthed on social media.
M'Lady Brady is a bit miffed about the first, but Slaven disapproves of the other two more.
Hmmm... Acting like a kid it seems.
Sakho has had one roller coaster of a season!
How much of a threat do Emenike (winger now?) And Valencia (horses for courses?) pose to Carroll's spot?
We are playing Leicester, so keeping the ball is key. I suggest that Valencia might be the main threat, as Emineke is even more kack-footed than Carroll.
crunch time now in my mini league. Im about 60 points behind in 2nd (have lukaku captain tonight which the leader doesnt) and still have my triple capatain to play which he hasnt
Transfers for weekend.
A) Ozil & Mahrez -> KDB and Iwobi (Either of them for triple captain)
B) Ozil & Cortouis (dont have back up keeper) -> Sanchez & De Gea (Sanchez triple captain)
C) Something else , have 3.5 million to spend
Cheers
Been plotting a few moves
A) Bolasie to Milner
B) Gabriel, Bolasie & Lennon to Moreno, Nasri, Iwobi
C) Delaney, Lennon & Bolasie to Lanzini, Milner/Nasri, Moreno/Mangala
Original plan was just to do A (have to free transfers).
C with Reid (WHU) maybe?
Forster&Mahrez → Cech&Coutinho（-8pts）is good to go？？
Really want to get rid of Clichy now but I need my 2 FTs to field 11 in GW 35. Would you:
A) Hope for the best and keep Clichy
B) Ship and take a hit
Hope for the best, even tho I recon Zaba/Kolarov to see game time
Did anyone notice that orb to the right of Coutinho's face in the photo above?
There was also one seen here messing with Jordan Speith: http://www.golfdigest.com/story/conspiracy-theory-aliens-caused-jordan-spieths-12th-hole-meltdown?mbid=social_facebook
Looks like he is trying to eat a flying Pringle.
