We delve into the Gameweek 32 Opta data this morning in the first members’ article of the week.

Man City’s in-form front man is amongst a host of candidates under analysis, with a pair of Palace attackers also on our radar ahead of double Gameweek 34. We also assess Spurs’ weekend hero as the transfers-in escalate before taking a look at the downturn in output by Arsenal and Swansea City’s main men.

    A) Sanchez,Carroll > Kane,Zaha(-4)
    or
    B) Aguero > Kane(FT)

    Rival has Aguero&Sanchez but no Kane

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      B

      You'll want to keep Sanchez for the doubles

  3. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Think a lot of people are going to regret doing Aguero -> Kane (Especially for -4)... Aguero in decent form, and due a big haul I think

    1. nkhoughton
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Yes but so can Kane, I dropped kun as no one in ml owned him so I'm not worried

      1. Johqvist
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Imagine being the only one in your ML to have one of the best players in the league.

    2. GreatCarragherReef
      • 10 Years

      i regret aguero to kane for free- wish i could go back and do sanchez and llorente to zaha and kane

    3. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 15 Years

      +1

    4. Tshelby
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Tempted to keep Aguero for the rest of the season

    5. MTPockets
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Think it's time to lose Sanchez instead. Get him back with wc if necessary.

      • athreya
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        It is fine if one has two out of Kun, Kane and Kaku. What will be momentous is if Alexis plays up front vs Boro.

    6. GreatCarragherReef
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Anyone been regularly playing FanDuel?
      Have you won much? I've done it a few times and win a bit each time so might put some more effort into it!

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Ive played a lil bit but not won anything yet :/

      2. The Legend Squad
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I have - I win about 50% of the time it seems. Only play the smaller contests so when I win I tend to just double the tenner I put on each week.

        1. GreatCarragherReef
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          might try and up it!

    7. Aguerrrooooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      As I have 3 spurs atttackers erikson,alli and Kane its probably best just captaining Lukaku right with all the current spurs cover?

      1. nkhoughton
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Go with best option I'm gonna go Kane

      2. slamdunk
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Kaku for me as captain,will play full 90 and likes smaller teams at home,most people will captain kane in my ml so need to be different

    8. United10
      • 9 Years

      Suggestions on what to do here please? 1FT and WC to play
      Valdes, Jaku Valencia, Brunt, Pieters, Pennington, Kingsley
      Sanchez, Ali, Lanzini, King, Carroll
      Aguero, Ibra, Lukaku
      a) Brunt to Sakho
      b) Aguero to Kane
      c) Save FT and bring in 2 DGW players next week
      d) Any other suggestion?

      1. George James
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Not A...only has one game in GW34

        I would save

    9. tibollom
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Vardy + Siggy + Valencia > Kane + Zaha + Yoshida for -4pts?

      Jaku Heaton
      Walker Alonso Pieters Valencia Amat
      King Alli Siggy Sanchez Allen
      Kaku Vardy Gabbi

    10. manu4life99
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Who to sell first;

      A) Carroll
      B) Lanzini

    11. _Gunner
      • 11 Years

      Which is better for this team? 1FT, 1.7 itb

      Pickford (Mignolet)
      Alonso Davies Holebas (Valencia, Amat)
      Sanchez Tadic King Alli (DeRoon)
      Aguero Origi Lukaku

      A- Save FT and do Aguero + Mignolet + Origi > Ibra + Valdes + Negredo/Benteke

      B- Origi > Benteke

      C- other transfer?

    12. nkhoughton

    13. The Legend Squad
      • 11 Years

      What shall I do to get Kane in?

      Grant Jaku
      Alonso Valencia Gibson Evans Amat
      Coutinho Alli Siggy Zaha
      Aguero Lukaku Vardy

      0.2ITB 1FT

      A. Aguero -> Kane
      B. Vardy and Alonso -> Kane and 5.2m or less Defender (Yoshida?)
      C. Vardy and Valencia -> Kane and 4.8m or less Defender
      D. Hold for now
      E. Any other suggestions?

    14. The Blackadder
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Thought my team was in good shape for the final push two weeks ago, now I'm not so sure, I have WC still, is surgery needed immediately or can I afford to wait?

      Grant
      Walker, Valencia, Bertrand
      Eriksen, Sanchez, Zaha, Sane, King
      Kane, Ibrahimovic

      Jako, Williams, Carroll, McGuire

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie

        Wait

    15. Sané Mané Hap…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Morning all,

      Needed to let my annoyance at Wenger/Sanchez subside before acting. Rush of blood to the head and all that. However - is it worth giving Sanchez one more week before jettisoning? Surely, Wenger has to revert to his old and proven formula?

      If not:

      2ft, 2.7itb

      Robles (Valdes)
      Mawson Lovren Maguire* (Mee McAuley)
      Siggy Sanchez Alli Coutinho (Forshaw)
      Vardy Lukaku Origi

      Origi -> Kane, Sanchez -> Eriksen

      Need to do a defensive overhaul (Lovren and McAuley perhaps) and Sanchez is tying up funds without justifying them at the moment. Am tempted by McAuley -> Jagielka (or similar) for another -4.

      Keen for thoughts.

      1. EDEN THE MAN
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Fix up your defence

        1. Sané Mané Hap…
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          I know there's a lot of love for Gibson right now, but I don't feel it. Outside of the GW34 fixtures his match-ups are tough. And it's not worth a -4 to get him in, to then have to do another to get him out.

          Same for Yoshi - the immediate fixtures don't justify a hit to get him in, for me anyway.

          Everton, spurs defenders seem to have good fixtures - what are my other options? Stoke? Arsenal?!

      2. nkhoughton
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I have thought this for weeks it's crazy that he hasn't but I'm holding but don't be surprised if giroud starts

        If welbeck starts up top I think he's being spiteful

    16. EDEN THE MAN
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Play Pieters(HUL) or Holgate(BUR)

      1. Taffer
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Holgate

      2. BobBradleysOpportunity
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        very tough

      3. nkhoughton
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Pieters Stoke at home shouldn't be underestimated

      4. GoonerByron
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Everton a lot more likely for a clean sheet imo.

      5. Jambot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Holgate

    17. Taffer
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Play Bally or Stones?

      1. BobBradleysOpportunity
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        stones

    18. lawsy009
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Can you clarify something for me, guys. Is it possible to use wildcard AND a chip in the same GW? Friends have told me different things regarding this.

      Thanks.

      1. Ginola14
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        No you can only use one chip per week

      2. EDEN THE MAN
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        No

        1. lawsy009
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Right, thanks lads. Appreciate the advice.

      3. Numb
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        A wildcard is a chip. I don't understand the question

      4. athreya
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Stay away from friends who said both can be used in same week.

    19. BobBradleysOpportunity
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      start Origi (wba) or Walcott (mid)

      1. nkhoughton
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Origi

    20. LukeyLuke777
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Opinions on this lot....

      I'm 0.1 short of Vardy > Kane so what's the best option this week, with my WC still available:

      A) Siggy/Sane > Zaha?; or
      B) do I forget Zaha this week and downgrade one of Valencia or Brunt?

      Currently I am looking like this...

      Grant
      Valencia Baines Cedric
      Eriksen Mane Siggy Alexis King
      Vardy Lukaku

      Pickford Carroll Brunt Friend

      1. EDEN THE MAN
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Siggy to Zaha

        1. LukeyLuke777
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          It just doesn't feel right but based on form and Watford seemingly tightened up in defence (barring last weeks game), it probably makes sense.

      2. Dee Lixon
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Mane?

        1. LukeyLuke777
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Ahhh...that's Sane.

      3. MTPockets
          8 years, 9 months ago

          A. Siggy

          1. LukeyLuke777
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Yep, that seem like the more sensible route.

      4. EDEN THE MAN
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Sorry for repost but another player to consider.

        Bench 1

        A)Alonso(mum)
        B)Pieters(HUL)
        C)Holgate(BUR)
        D)Walker(BOU)
        E)Origi(wba)

          B

      5. Numb

        Is Grant's race run?

      6. InSaneMan-e
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Boring question. Bench 1 please
        A) Holgate
        B) Rojo
        C) Valencia
        D) Olson

        On D at the moment

        1. EDEN THE MAN

          8 years, 9 months ago

          B

      7. MTPockets
          8 years, 9 months ago

          1) Aguero > Kane
          2) Sanchez > Kane -4
          3) Leave it

            Good afternoon, Gents.

            In a 3-4-3, which midfielder would you bench for Zaha in GW34?

            1) Sanchez (LEI)
            2) King (MID)
            3) Siggy (STK)
            4) Coutinho (CRY)

            Those single GW, home fixtures are so plum, I'm starting to doubt whether I need Zaha at all.

            1. LukeyLuke777
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              Siggy.

              1. FPL Virgin
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 9 months ago

                Siggy has a very PPG at home.

                1. FPL Virgin
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 9 Years
                  8 years, 9 months ago

                  *very high

                2. LukeyLuke777
                  • 15 Years
                  8 years, 9 months ago

                  He does but Swansea seem to be in a slump and in his last 3 home games he has 10pts.

                  1. FPL Virgin
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 9 Years
                    8 years, 9 months ago

                    That's true, but Siggy is still looking very attacking. I also think Swansea will go for goals - they have to - and that will mostly all involve Siggy.

            2. Please Help I Don't Kn…
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              Tough one. Either 1 or 2.

              1. FPL Virgin

                • 9 Years
                8 years, 9 months ago

                I'm tempted to do the unthinkable and not get Zaha.

          6. Tmel
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Anyone doing the Bet365 offer later? What are you going for?

              oops I just posted this, should have looked up!

              I might go for Vardy to score and Leicester to win... 25/1 (for good reason!)

              I saw Morgan first goalscorer was 50/1.. could be good if he starts, you never know!

          7. Sergeant Garcia
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Siggy > Zaha for a -4? Or do I give Siggy one more week?

            Will have to take the hit nontheless this or next week, because I dont own any DGW34 players besides Valencia.

            1. Kavorka
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              If you want Siggy -> Zaha better do it this week. Zaha vs LEI looks good

                Good point!

              Contemplating the same move and will likely pull the trigger. Siggy and Swansea are in a rut and Watford seem to have tightened up defensively (barring the Spurs game of course).

                Yeah, I'm probably waiting for news on Llorrente. If he's fit, I fancy Swansea & Siggy to do well.

              Yeah, I'm pondering that move aswell. Even if Siggy should get some attacking returns Zaha could easily outscore him in the next four games.

                Looks like I've already talked myself into it..

              Griez first goal

              2-1 or 3-1 to Atletico i think. How about you?

            Heaton
            Stephens Holgate Valencia
            Alli Coutinho Redmond Eriksen
            Kane(C) Lukaku(vc) Aguero

            Robinson, Carroll, Chambers, Ake.

            Good to go?

            Considering a WC to get this:

            Valdes/Pickford
            Alonso, Gibson, Yoshida, Bailly, Holgate
            Alli, Coutinho, Eriksen, Zaha, King
            Lukaku, Kane, Ibra

            Thought? Leading my ML by 75 and looking for a low risk run-in...

              You must have a good Team Value, im considering something the same but i would have Townsend instead of Coutinho and maybe Ward instead of Baily.

              So hard to know weather using it now or week before all the DGWs is better. I'm struggling to decide myself!

                TV 106,9 so not exeptional I think?

                1. The Rock
                  • 16 Years
                  8 years, 9 months ago

                  That's pretty high. Mine is 104.1.

              I'd find a way to take out Eriksen for Hazard

                • 9 Years
                8 years, 9 months ago

                Got burnt on previous DGW:s and worried I will wait to long (currently have two Swans and Lanzini in the team...).

                Hazard is a good shout

            3. Hurricane Gilbert
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              And I'm also sitting with Zaha and King in my team. Problem is who to bench? This week King for sure, but what of the other gameweeks where both have great fixtures?

                • 9 Years
                8 years, 9 months ago

                True, but at least useful when BB:ing in DGW.

                Thank you both for very useful input!

            Play which defender?

            A Pennington
            B Nyom

              A

            2. The Rock
              • 16 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              I don't think Pennington will start so B.
