Scouting the Doubles – Gameweek 37 – The Defence

In the first of a two-part series, we examine the opportunities presented by those teams with a pair of Gameweek 37 fixtures and assess the potential on offer.

We begin with an analysis of the defensive options on show, scanning the eight double Gameweek teams and seeking out the most assured sources of clean sheets and attacking points.

The eight teams in question are neatly divided with half facing away trips, while the other four – Liverpool, West Ham, Sunderland and Norwich – provide us with two home fixtures. That quartet present the most obvious starting point when hunting clean sheets.

Ordinarily, the Liverpool defence would be in our thinking ahead of two Anfield meetings. Jurgen Klopp’s charges face Watford and Chelsea at home – both teams with little or no motivation – and then follow that up with a final day trip to West Brom.

Sadly, with Klopp hellbent on fielding weakened sides around Europa League ties, we have to consider Simon Mignolet (5.0) and his ever-changing back four as risks.

Given Mamadou Sakho’s suspension, Dejan Lovren (4.8) appears elevated as the most assured starter over the Reds’ remaining fixtures, while Alberto Moreno (4.8) is the gamble which could pay off given his recent run of form – the Spaniard has finally sparked to life to register a goal and three assists in his last three league starts.

However, with the threat of rotation and Liverpool’s home record of just five shutouts in 17 outings, it seems wise to overlook the Reds’ rearguard.

West Ham’s back four has only fared slightly better in front of their own fans, earning six clean sheets at Upton Park. They will be looking to leave their old stadium in some style and with an unlikely Champions League spot still within reach, they will be driven to earn results.

Fixtures with Swansea City and Manchester United show promise – both struggle for a cutting edge away from home. The Swans have blanked in their last two trips, while United have notched just once in their last three.

West Ham also have two standout options in Adrian (5.1) between the sticks and Aaron Cresswell (5.7) at left-back. Both offer the opportunity of supplementary points should they ship goals, with Adrian boasting strong save point potential, while Cresswell is a forward-thinking full-back who has claimed a goal and an assist in his last four.

When it comes to the motivation factor, no Gameweek 37 sides can compete with Sunderland or Norwich City. The relegation threatened pair are locked in a three-way tussle with Newcastle and are strictly in the results business.

The loss of Timm Klose to a knee injury was a huge blow to the Canaries and robbed us of the one sure-fire candidates in Alex Neil’s backline. Russell Martin (4.2) now looks to be the only secure option available offering at least some goal threat for crucial Carrow Road meetings with Manchester United and Watford.

Sunderland have more viable options plus an improved defensive record that has seen them ship just three goals in their last five league outings.

Vito Manonne (4.3) is a cat-like stopper who can reap save points from their two Stadium of Light meetings with Chelsea and Everton. Patrick van Aanholt (4.7) is the star turn, though – the raiding Dutchman has five goals to his name and has rattled in more attempts than any other defender in the league.

Of the four teams facing a pair of away trips, it’s presumed that Manchester United offer the most potential.

Louis van Gaal’s defence has proved resolute throughout a largely unconvincing campaign, although they’ve gained 12 of their 17 shut-outs at Old Trafford. Indeed, both Everton and Chelsea – two of the other Gameweek 37 sides to be considered – boast a superior away record when it comes to shut-outs.

With testing trips to West Ham and Norwich – both teams who will be highly motivated to earn three points – we’re having to lean towards David de Gea (5.9) as the weapon of choice within United’s squad, with save points as back-up. While Chris Smalling (6.5) offers an alternative, we’re far from certain on United’s clean sheet credentials over their two fixtures. The one caveat is that United face Bournemouth on the final day, boosting Smalling’s stock.

While Everton have a decent away record with seven clean sheets on the road, injuries have ravaged Roberto Martinez’ backline and the confidence has gradually seeped from the Toffees as the season draws to a conclusion. Leighton Baines blinked on the radar with his winner over Bournemouth last weekend but would represent a real gamble given his lofty 6.0 price tag.

Chelsea appear a stronger option, particularly with John Terry and Gary Cahill re-installed in central defence. That appears to free up Branislav Ivanovic (6.6) to return to right-back and offer us at least some attacking potential for away trips to Sunderland and Liverpool. The Serb has the edge over Cesar Azpicueletta given his set-piece threat – a clear factor given shut-outs at the Stadium of Light and Anfield look a stretch for Guus Hiddink’s men.

Watford are the final team on offer – a side with little to play for, blighted by dismal end of season form and seemingly unsettled by speculation over Quique Sanchez Flores’ future as manager. That, combined with an ever-changing back-four, tells you all you need to know on our attitude towards Hornets assets, although the telescopic charm of Heurelho Gomes (5.1) remains in our thinking.

The Brazilian is the top-ranked stopper in the Fantasy Premier League and may just benefit from a second-string Liverpool and a demoralised Norwich to earn his owners profit.

The Top Targets

Aaron Cresswell – the Hammers have arguably the strongest chance of delivering shut-outs over the Gameweek. Cresswell has a threat from range and will be a ready supplier of crosses aimed in the vicinity of the highly effective Andy Carroll.

Patrick van Aanholt – the left-back’s attacking prowess is key to his appeal as a desperate Sunderland go in search of crucial wins. With direct free-kicks added to his armoury of late, the Dutchman looks a key target.

David de Gea – while United’s clean sheet prospects will be stretched by a pair of testing fixtures, it ensures that the Spaniard will be called upon to replicate the form that has been pivotal in earning 17 shut-outs this term.

The Differentials

Heurelho Gomes – the eccentric stopper has starred throughout for the Hornets and is the only real secure option for their Gameweek 37 double. Save points could be key and he always offers the potential to add to his three penalty saves this term.

Branislav Ivanovic – back at full-back now that Terry and Cahill have returned, the pricey Serb just edges out Azpicueletta as the chief Blues’ contender. An expensive gamble that seems likely to rely on attacking returns.

Russell Martin – the injury to Andre Wisdom looks set to ensure that the Canaries club skipper will start the final three fixtures. His presence at set-plays on the end of measured Robbie Brady deliveries may yet prove crucial and profitable.

Leighton Baines – the mop-top left-back rekindled our flames with a winner at the weekend and, amidst a broken back four, offers the most secure starter with attacking to flair thrown in.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Let's have a little debate. I've got a new opinion on this question, so I want to know what you guys think:

    Who is the best striker in the world?

    My current answer would be Antoine Griezmann. He carries that Atletico offense singlehandedly, with little to no support in UCL games. He's clinical and puts it in the net whenever Atletico manage to break forward. He's not spoon-fed all game by other attacking stars, he does all the work to get this team across the line with a win.

      suarez easily

      such a beast

      almost singlehandedly leaded poor liverpool side to the title

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Lead to the title, didn't win it. 😉 He did have good attacking support on that team with Gerrard, Sturridge, and Sterling though.

        1. Geordienufc1
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Gerrard, Sturridge and Sterling are good players, but remember that Griezeman is not exactly without support, even if it looks that way against possession-kings Bayern.

          1. ★Kuntheman★
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            He does have decent support with the likes of Koke, Gabi and such, but they're deep lying midfielders that play balls in to him to do the rest. He doesn't necessarily have an attacking mid or actual wingers (Saul and Koke on the wings) sometimes.

        2. DGWjegy

          well sterling sucks , gerrard is overrated and sturridge is ok

          it was really poor team overal , look at them after suarez has left

          and what he is doing in barca now

          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          The same Sterling you were calling piss poor yesterday? I still rate Sterling, and obviously Sturridge, but Suarez made that Liverpool side 20-30 goals better than they were without him.

          1. ★Kuntheman★
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            He's been piss poor at City. At Liverpool he was quite the livewire.

            1. Irish Madridista ⭐
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Now he's more Limewire.

              • 10 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              This is something I credit at least part of to Suarez and for me it makes him that step above Aguero. I think when Suarez is on the pitch he requires so much attention it makes everybody around him look better.

              1. ★Kuntheman★
                • 8 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                When you put it that way, I'd probably agree.

    2. Geordienufc1
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Out and out striker? Luis Suarez.

      1. Geordienufc1
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Although I think Griezeman is a fantastic talent, Suarez has proven over and over again how lethal a player he is. Not just at Barcelona, where his record is incredible, but at Liverpool, where he didn't have the likes of Messi and Neymar to play with.

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Liverpool did have Sturridge, Gerrard, Coutinho, and Sterling though.

        2. England's Number 1
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Could say Harry Kane has led Spurs to second without much support.

          1. ★Kuntheman★
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Agreed. I think Harry Kane is up there too. Another criminally underrated player.

            1. TeamSteam

              Who`s Kane underrated by?

          2. TeamSteam
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Unfair comparison. The Spurs team of this season is a LOT better than the Liverpool team Suarez almost carried two years ago. A LOT.

      2. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I figured this would be most people's answers. I just really respect how Griezmann drags this ultra-defensive team past the line all the time. He needs to be more clinical than any other striker because he'll only get one to two clear cut chances in a match.

          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Of course we can respect Griezmann too, but Suarez is still streaks ahead.

          1. ★Kuntheman★
            • 8 Years

            Maybe my respect is translating to unrealistic beliefs haha

    3. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He's up there, and underrated. Especially in England as people haven't seen much of him.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Incredibly underrated. Top three for sure in my opinion.

        1. Irish Madridista ⭐
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Dybala could be up there next season too.

          1. ★Kuntheman★
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Agreed, he's a major talent. Would love for City to get him, he said he's always wanted a move to City or Barcelona.

    4. Mark-O

    9. jackx13
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      1) Lewandowski 2) Zlatan 3)Suarez I personally don't consider Griezmann a complete striker, more of a winger or an attacking mid.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I honestly think Zlatan is a bit overrated by the media. He disappears in big games. My list would be 1) Griezmann 2) Suarez 3) Lewandowski

    10. Red Wasabi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      No one mentioning Aguero?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Too fragile. But still definitely in Top 5

      2. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Never. He's always underrated. 🙂

        To be fair though, as a huge fan of his and city, I don't think he's even top three. He doesn't always perform in UCL, incredibly injury prone...we love him, but he's top 5.

        1. Red Wasabi

      Suarez all day long, and I can't see why Griezmann is better then Cristiano, Ibra, messi, Aguero

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I'd say Griezmann is better than Kun and Ibra

    12. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Proper striker, for me it's Aguero.

      But Messi when he's up front, obviously

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I like you! I don't think you're right, but I like that opinion.

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I know a lot of people say Suarez, but I think Aguero has a much more lethal shot on him. Most other attributes they are pretty similar in, but another thing Aguero has going for him is that turn of pace when he picks up the ball on the wings.

          Griezmann is a great forward but behind both of those in almost every single attribute imo

          1. ★Kuntheman★
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            I think Aguero's fitness issues and his lack of UCL performances are his two main issues.

          2. TeamSteam
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Lethal shot? The range of goals Suarez score outweigh Aguero. His workrate, his ability to go past people, his link up play, his finishing, his set piece play. All above the quality of Aguero.

    13. Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'd have a fully-fit Aguero over any striker in the world.
      Suarez second.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I think when fit, Aguero is the best. I think it's his fitness and his UCL performances that don't make him top 3.

        1. TeamSteam
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          But you base your recognition of Griezman on one season of UCL? Right. Aguero barely makes top 5, if that. Be serious please.

    14. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero for me. Put him in a team like barca/real and he has potential to score 50 goals in a season.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        If he stays fit...I'd agree.

        1. Sess!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          this is true

    15. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'd have said Martial but he's not a striker any more apparently.

      Seriously though, I think Ronaldo and Messi are as much strikers as Griezmann is.

        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        and I'd take both over Griezmann too.

        1. Hooky
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Ditto. Ronaldo-Suarez-Messi front 3 would do alright

        2. ★Kuntheman★
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Who wouldn't!

    16. pompeyfan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Suarez by miles. His goals record over the past 9 years or so without ever taking penalties and often playing out wide is just amazing. Also the best team player.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Wasn't much of a team player at Liverpool haha

        1. pompeyfan
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          wasn't his fault he had to play with such inferior players. I guess he didn't expect to be playing with worse players than he had previously!

          1. ★Kuntheman★
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            No bias from the Ajax fan 😉

            1. pompeyfan
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              haha, yeah! 😉 Still tho when he left he was used to playing quick technical footballer with players like Eriksen, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Emmanuelson and de Jong (before the injuries)

              1. ★Kuntheman★
                • 8 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                That Ajax team was pretty stacked. Will El Ghazi and Bazoer live up to the hype?

                1. pompeyfan
                  • 14 Years
                  8 years, 1 month ago

                  they have both been dropped. Bazoer had been poor the last few games and it didn't appear that he was trying that hard, but he's still only 19 so he will come good again. El-Ghazi has been poor since back from injury, maybe lacking in confidence, not sure if he will become a great. In any case Younes & Cerny are looking really good as the wingers.

                  Still need to invest this summer as need some experience. Hopefully Huntelaar will come back!

                      early days, but it seems so. Lots of others coming through like vd Beek & Nouri, and apparently a few massive talents from the A1 squad

        Gone but never forgotten

      2. Hooky

        Bolton had the dream strikeforce of Heskey and Shola Ameobi earlier this season. Real life Fantasy football right there 😉

    18. Eden Hazardous
      • 9 Years

      Athletico Madrid are not as ultra-defensive as you think....Athletico Madrid are one of the top 3 clubs in the world imo. Griezzman is a top 5 striker for me but I rate Suarez , Ronaldo and Messi . He is on par with Bale for me.

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        *more

      2. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Theyre definitely top 3, but that's a result of the way they play. It's a style of play that doesn't favor the striker, and yet Griezmann does so well.

        1. Eden Hazardous
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          "It's a style of play that doesn't favor the striker" ...and yet Athletico Madrid keep on producing world class strikers one after another....also Torres looking world class again AS well....

          1. ★Kuntheman★
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            They were producing top class strikers before Simeone came along with the new play style. Maybe this style requires the strikers to be more clinical, and therefore the strikers are better. The system doesn't benefit them though.

            1. Eden Hazardous
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Well Torres is benefiting from the system , isn't he?

              1. ★Kuntheman★
                • 8 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                You think? I don't.

      3. TeamSteam
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Theyre not ultra defensive. But theyre really defensive. Very much alike Leicester. And theyre not top 3 either. I do kinda agree with Griezman beeing on par with Bale tho.

    19. TeamSteam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Griezman? Surely you jest. Off the top of my head no way hes even top 5.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        And I'm sure you've got Ibra in there somewhere. I'm not buying into hype. Based on the system he plays in and how clinical he has to be, I think he has to do so much more than any other striker.

        1. TeamSteam
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          The system and how clinical? He plays striker for a super solid defensive counterattacking team. Thats equivalent to saying Jamie Vardy is top 3 strikers in the BPL. Im not sure if i rate Ibra amongst the top 5. Probably not. But id rather have him than Griezman.

          1. ★Kuntheman★
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            I'd say Jamie Vardy is top three in the BPL.

            1. ★Kuntheman★
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              For the same reasons too as Griezmann

            2. TeamSteam
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Then i dont know what to say to you. Clearly you value underdogs more than actual quality.

              1. ★Kuntheman★
                • 8 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                Nah I just give credit to those who do more

                1. TeamSteam
                  • 11 Years
                  8 years, 1 month ago

                  Thats all fair, but saying Vardy and Griezmann are better strikers when theyre not cus they play for "inferiour teams" doesnt make any sense. Also you just labelled AM as top 3 teams worldwide, that doesnt really correlate well with your previous assesment.

                  1. ★Kuntheman★
                    • 8 Years
                    8 years, 1 month ago

                    I still don't get what you mean. Atletico are top three because their system is effective. Their system is effective because Griezmann grabs the goals and everyone else locks up on defense. Without Griezmann you're looking at a team that draws 0-0 a lot.

                    1. TeamSteam
                      • 11 Years
                      8 years, 1 month ago

                      That in it self doesnt make Atletico top 3 in the world or Griezmann top 3 in the world. Again, thats like saying Jamie Vardy is top 3 in the BPL just cus the system hes playing in suits him. If thats the basis of valuation of players, then literally anyone can be top 3 by default.

                      1. ★Kuntheman★
                        • 8 Years
                        8 years, 1 month ago

                        If that system gets you to the UCL final, I'd suggest it's top 3 for sure.

                      2. TeamSteam
                        • 11 Years
                        8 years, 1 month ago

                        Atletico is a pretty solid club. I have huge admiration what they accomplish with such inferior funds compared to Barca and Real. And its not like im saying Griezmann isnt good. Hes just not top 3. No way, no how.

  2. Spindoctor15
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    If Fabregas is out, does this make Willian more appealing?

    1. Kered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Might make Loftus Cheek more appealing!

      1. Spindoctor15
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe.

        But Willian would take more set pieces and maybe play central now.

        1. C-Lowe
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I went with Loftus-Cheek after he got 3 games in a row and now the last 2 he has played 10 minutes. But if Fabregas is out he defo start against Sunderland and maybe come off the bench against Liverpool

        2. TeamSteam
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Why would you even consider anyone besides Hazard at this point

  3. _Gunner
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    G2G? Benching is right? on (-4)

    DDG**
    Moreno** Fosu-Mensah** Cresswell**
    Townsend Payet (3C)** Sanchez Coutinho**
    Martial** Kane Lukaku**

    subs: Hart Iwobi Simpson Bellerin

    1. Energetics
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure about starting Fosu-Mensah. Simpson & Bellerin could easily play more minutes despite United having 2 games and a 10/15 minute cameo in either game would rule out them coming on as an autosub.

      1. _Gunner
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        yes good thinking, who would you prefer ? Bellerin?
        I have a feeling LEI will concede.

        Other than that, everything looks good?

  4. Pirlø's Pen

    Sanchez Coutinho -> Hazard Brady

    Opinions? Will get Sanch back in 38

  5. Irish Madridista ⭐
    • 13 Years

    Is Rose definitely out?

    It would require a hit to change him for PvA / R.Martin.. Could just play Bellerin?

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'm just going to play Bellerin and hope he grabs an assist or something.

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Think you're right Kuntheman

      I will have 9, most likely. But there's the quality over quantity argument to be made. I count Milner as 1 of my 9, but chances are he'll only play once.

      1. Mark-O
        • 9 Years

          Only about one or two players, not about 6 or 7 🙂

          Nervous about the explosive potential of Cresswell, PvA, Sturridge, Hazard and surprisingly.. Noble.

          Could get any of them in (except Cressy) but I don't think it's worth a hit.

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐

      Ruddy + R.Martin.

      1. Pinky and Brain
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        A bit worried that he missed GW's 32-34, was he injured back then? I fancy Olsson tbf.

        1. Irish Madridista ⭐
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Injury, he's club captain.

    3. skeyrd

      Martin most nailed fo sho and their best set piece threat, Olsson is a decent option as well and gets forward in open play more

  10. England's Number 1

    I never thought I'd ask this, but should I start Alexis Sanchez or Wes Morgan?

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez imo.

      I'm playing Simpson + Fuchs and benching Alexis but if I were you I'd play Sanchez.

      1. England's Number 1
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Current team:

        Mig

        Fuchs, Toby, Cresswell

        Payet, Lanzini, Firmino, Sanchez

        Kane, Sturridge, Vardy

    2. Pinky and Brain

      Sanchez, City vs Arsenal will be a goal fest.

      1. Respect My Authoritah

        Will it? Kompany will surely start that one and he looked so impressive v Real

    3. Syd.

      Huth will also be suspended

        Good point. Alexis it is.

    4. Daaf

      Alexis

    5. skeyrd

      probably Sanchez still

      Wow, c'mon man. What sort of question is this?!

      To compound the obviousness of sanchez as the answer, leicester are missing drinkwater & huth and no way they have the same level of defensive disciple given the title is won. I see a very open game and goals.

      Don't get a differential just for the heck of getting a differential.

      Costa is a good option, but Haz is in great form.

    I see you all in the next season. This has been an incredible season, Leicester just overwrote the history books, this is a story to tell and it will never be forgotten. Would love to see a movie about it(probably Danny Boyle could make something nice out of it:)) In the fantasy football league I would like to see the guy who's number 1 now to win it, such an impressive score and still BB and WC to be used! and that's his first season, incredible! As to me, I cocked it up, around 60000 at the moment, so hopefully will do better next term. I am not a regular chatter, specially when things go wrong I prefer not to log in here:)) So see you in july or so:)

      60,000 is pretty decent, why beat yourself up?

      Nothing toooo wrong with 60k, especially this season 🙂

          I'm glad I logged in today as I was going to waste much of this week mulling over transfers, but now I can sleep soundly in the knowledge that I might as well just give up 😀

          My favourite quit message this season started off: "I'm not a quitter, but..."

    Looking at everyone taking hits this gameweek and here I'm thinking of saving the FT...

    DDG Gomes
    Bellerin Smalling Azpilicueta Cresswell PVA
    Sanchez Hazard Payet Milner Lanzini
    Kane Lukaku Defoe

    Is there something you would do with the FT.... I really don't wanna lose KANE and just don't see anything plausible apart from Kane going out... Maybe Bellerin but for who? And then they have villa last game of the season....

    1. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You wildcarded in 36 and not 33, like most. So you shouldn't have to take hits. You've ostensibly set up your team FOR this week.

  15. Cruz88
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Who to bench:

    A) Noble
    B) Payet
    C) Mahrez
    D) Sanchez
    E) Firmino
    F) Aguero
    G) Kane
    H) Carroll

    Currently on Sanchez

    1. Larry Legend
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'm probably going C, but its a coin toss between C & D.

    2. champ20ns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I have almost exact same front 8 - townsend instead of noble and i am thinking of benching mahrez over sanchez

      1. Cruz88
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah it's difficult, Mahrez is normally better away from home and Leicester now have nothing to play for, except they'll want to play well as champions in front of their fans. Man City and Arsenal are both still fighting for position so could be some goals in that, or equally could be 0-0...

    3. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I think Sanchez too

      Irony is safe picks this season would have been gambles last season.

      look the way of norwich...hoping for a Hull-Like dgw like last season is purdy risky

  17. Larry Legend
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I had no idea JT was back. Huge differential potential for his final 3 games. You heard it here first... unless someone else called it before me 🙂

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Haha. Actually not that bad a shout. Couple of goals over last 3 would be sooooo JT

      1. Larry Legend
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed - I could definitely see a CS and goal on the last day of the season vs Leicester! And who knows in the doubles. Huge risk but it wouldn't be a differential otherwise.

    2. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ivan is hitting my radar but the Che defence is so shieeet

    3. England's Number 1
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He'll have a hard night's work keeping up with Sturridge for 90 mins me thinks.

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, the bench is so far away!

    4. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Can't remember who but someone suggested JT to me yesterday as a Rose replacement.. Couldn't justify the hit..

      1. Larry Legend
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Oh yeah it would be a mental hit to take, and I am unlikely to do it myself. But the stars do have a way of aligning for these things, so it could be worth a punt if you are in a position to take one.

  18. kimking
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Bench one:
    Sanchez (mci) - Mahrez (EVE) - Antonio (SWA,MUN)

    (Leaning towards Antonio since he probably is placed in defence. Need confirmation 😉

    1. S.Agueroooooo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      looks like he has nailed that RB spot

    2. Saint & Reevesy
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why would you rest Antonio? I'd probably rest Mahrez, he'll have been on the gas for the last few days.......

      1. kimking
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        True. But in defence Antonio gets 1pt from CS. So will give me appr 5 pts from 2 matches. Been faithful to Mahrez through season, even when RMT told me to bench, and it payed out. Bit scared to fail at the last moment. Am 8 and 14 pts behind 1. and 2. in the ML. But yes it is a very good point. Is he guaranteed start?

    3. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Alexis for me.

    4. skeyrd
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'd bench Sanchez or Mahrez...toss up between those two, leaning towards benching Mahrez...not Antonio fosho

  19. S.Agueroooooo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    cresswell or smalling for the rest of the season?

    1. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I personally think cresswell has the bigger upside.

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        +1

  20. Saint & Reevesy
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Now then chaps, who is getting the armband this week.

    It's always a critical decision but with so many creditable options in a DGW it could prove a huge decision in the context of what rank you finish with.

    Your thoughts gentlemen.

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Carroll.

      Real decision is whether to go C or TC

      1. Sess!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        In case you didn't see the post above, do not bench sanchez over simpson!

          1. Sess!
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Urgh, that's tough. Fair enough but I'd be tempted to play sanchez over mahrez personally. I know that seems like an equally crazy idea but just a hunch. Any other game townsend would be the obvious bench choice but guess can't with them playing villa.

            1. Irish Madridista ⭐
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Sissokho suspended too so he's up against Villa's backup (can't be much worse I suppose)

              I love my Riyad, sorry Alexis 🙁 Although I do think he's a decent option this week.

    2. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Payet, carroll, sturridge (if pool go out of europe or he doesn't start on thurs) are the most likely candidates.

      1. Saint & Reevesy
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I'm currently on Carroll, but tempted by Hazzard as a differential....

  21. Rolls-Royce
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone here benching Sanchez this week for a DGWer?

    1. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No but I might bench ozil depending who I bring in.

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Hi Sess, Khazri worth a punt or rotation risk with Watmore?

        1. Sess!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Wouldn't bother with any of our midfielders tbh.

          1. BananaNose Maldonado
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Hey, Sess. I'm between Payet and Defoe for my TC. How confident are you in Defoe returns?

            Cheers.

    2. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 13 Years

      o/

      and multiple SGWers.

    3. VS10_
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I would consider it but already have Iwobi who will be there.

  22. Coaly
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Best def to bring in for a hit?

    Smalling (double up with DDG)
    PVA
    Ivan

  23. England's Number 1
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    After 5000/1 gate, any daft bets that might not be daft bets for next season?

    Mine: Everton to go down.

    1. VS10_
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      They'll surely have a new manager by next season.

    2. John t penguin
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I may have a punt on ineanacho to be top scorer, if aguero gets injured early it may happen

    3. Meinhoff
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Leicester to go down BOOM

    4. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nope. Daft bets are called daft bets for a reason 😉

      1. John t penguin
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        so why are daft punk called that then

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          For a reason?

        2. Irish Madridista ⭐
          • 13 Years

          They're pretty daft at making punk music in fairness..

    5. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Arsenal to win the League

    6. S.Agueroooooo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      They'll have a major over haul.. cant see Martinez there.

      I think they'll still have lukaku.. cant see a top team coming in for him and paying the amount they'll want for that inconsistent donkey

  24. John t penguin
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    suppose really if anyone should own JT for what might be his last games , then it should be me

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Surely he should own you..?

      1. John t penguin
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        nobody puts doggy in the corner

  25. Daaf
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    1 FT. 5.4 in the bank. TC available.

    DDG
    Bellerin - Rojo - Morgan
    Lanzini - Coutinho - KdB - Sanchez
    Martial - Defoe - Sturridge

    Migs - Mahrez - Gabriel - Simpson

    I'm looking at
    Simpson -> Cresswell/Chelsea DEF
    KdB -> Haz. No Payet is fine by me.
    Defoe -> Carroll a bit too much for -8 in total?
    Good moves overal?

    1. skeyrd
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'd hold off on Defoe to Carrol for a -4 for sure, the other two look good, but really would prefer Payet over Haz.

    2. Larry Legend
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Don't like Defoe > Carroll

    3. VS10_
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Defoe.

      Payet could hurt you big time as many will be giving him the C and TC.

  26. Trading Bear
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    If someone said to me in august...

    > Leicester will win the league
    > Spurs will finish 2nd
    > Aston Villa will finish bottom
    ...
    and
    ...
    > GW37 and GW38 strikers will be Rashford // Deeney // Carroll
    ....

    2. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Aha the very man I was hoping would show up..

      ..Already have Ruddy, I presume it's ridiculous to think about Martin in for Rose for a hit? Twould bring me to 5 DGWers.

      Brady also tempts me but no room at the inn unless I don't go for Payet..

    3. John t penguin
      • 9 Years

      I would have been looking through the promoted teams to find out who rashford was

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Redmond could be this weeks Townsend, if he just bloody well gets game time.

        Cue Hoolahoops 15 pts.

        1. Irish Madridista ⭐
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          If Hoolahoops started as many games as Kane then Kun would have another contender for his throne.

          Most cultured left foot in the game.

        2. Lateriser 12
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        or should i double in defence instead? (already have RuddY)

  27. Jatz10
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Cresswell and Defoe? or Van Aanholt and Carroll?

    1. Meinhoff
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      first one

    2. Spindoctor15
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ideally all 4 of those would be nice or at least a combination of 3.

      But if it's a choice I'd say Cress and Defoe

      1. Jatz10
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, my team at the moment is :

        Bench Boost Active
        De Gea/ Mignolet
        Walker /Simpson /Ake /Fosu / Moreno
        Sanchez/ Iwobi / Payet / Noble/ Mahrez
        Long / Aguero / Sturridge

        Selling Fosu and Long (Although on form)

  28. All about the galacticos
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Which to go for?
    A) Keep Townsend for Villa
    B) -4 for Hazard
    C) -4 for Willian

    1. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Larry Legend
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      a

  29. Larry Legend
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    If you had told me just 6 weeks ago, let alone the start of the season, that I would be considering triple captaining Andy Carroll, I would have called the men in white coats.

  30. Spindoctor15
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Robles
    Delaney - PVA - Simpson
    Payet (TC) - Firmino - Coutinho - Lanzini
    Agüero - Kane - Defoe

    Darlow, Sánchez, Bellerín, Gabriel
    1FT, 2.0m itb

    Thinking:
    Delaney > Cresswell

    Contemplating losing Coutinho to a Chelsea mid for a -4... (Can't afford Haz with Cress move so thinking Willian)

    Also would you start Bellerín or Simpson?
