Paul 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.
Also, I'm looking at Redmond & Aguero > Ibra Hazard after this GW.
Although Redmond has a double, Hazard's form can't be ignored surely?
Looks like good moves, Hazard also has better fixtures, so not an issue
Cheers Holmes!
Yeah I'd be looking at that. I have Haz already but probably doing the Kun -> Ibra side of that equation.
x
How's this for a WC attempt?
Heaton, Pickford
Bailly, Gibson, Yoshida, Holgate, Pieters
Hazard, Alli, Eriksen, Zaha, King
Lukaku, Ibrahimovic, Kane
0.2 itb
sort of want to save for gw35, but im in a slump and not sure i can bring myself to field llorente again
Tbh I'd get Stephens over Pieters and double on the Soton defence for their extra 2 games
What week you using aoa? Intrested to know as I have King + zaha also
Lovely team although I wonder who you will be benching between Zaha and King when they both have great fixtures
Also - Heaton to a DGW keeper?
cheers all, sorry had to go out! already used aoa, and expecting rotation to be rife enough to not give me too much of a worry with the 8th attacker
Jak 4.0
Alonso Valencia Bavies Brunt Naughton
Sanchez Eriksen Alli Siggy Zaha
Ibra Lukaku Carroll
0.1ITB 2FT
A) Carroll, Eriksen and Brunt -> Kane, 4.2mid, Barragan (-4)
B) Ibra and Bavies -> Kane and Palace defender
C) Another idea?
With B I'd still have to take -4 to get Ibra back the following week. Thanks
Morning all.
The form of Son has confused things slightly regarding which of Spur's attack to go with. Assuming Kane starts from here on in where does Son play? How will Spurs likely line-up?
4-2-3-1. Son in midfield. Kane upfront.
Probably the same as last week with Kane where Janssen was
This
Alli behind Kane, Son left and Eriksen playing right (quite narrowly), allowing Walker/Trippier to roam.
Same as last week but Kane in for Jansen. Son likely on the left
Cheers lads.
Messed around having a look at what my WC team would look like if i played it this week and it's pretty damn good!
The plan was to use it the week before all the DGWs and then do Bench Boost but do we think that the players between now and then could cancel those points out? Could possibly be worth playing WC earlier?
I think it is good to even WC now as you almost already know dgw fixtures and you can also get players in good form. you will have few weeks to add extra dgw players anyways. i did it on gw31 and I am happy. Went from 53K to 27K in 2gws.
Did it last week and I'm happy, got 20-25 points more than my gw32 team would have got
I might even go for an earlier bb also
Get Kane by either selling Ibra or taking -4 hit? or save a transfer and hope Kane doesn't do much damage? help much appreciated.
Pickford
Valencia, Bavies, Holgate
Sanchez, Hazard, Alli, Zaha
Ibra, Lukaku, Origi
subs: Valdes, Yoshida, Chambers, Tarroll
Downgrade Sanchez and upgrade Origi?
no to that imo.
Ibra>Kane>Ibra or downgrade some other than Sanchez
Thought about Ibra>Kane then Lukaku>Ibra. But Lukaku has been all season long in my team and is the highest contributor to my team. not sure on which move is better!
I wouldn't want to lose Ibra or Lukaku tbh. Sanchez is the one who has to go for me.
actually there is no oher way as you own both Alexis and Hazard. Must sell one of those big hitters but I wouldnt sell Sanchez. Not easy..
exact plans! just worried to ship Sanchez out for a hit though. you reckon it will pay off? Coutinho, Kane is the plan.
Arsenal look finished. I'd stay away from them atm. Kane and Coutinho look good for this week
Thanks!
Am I the only one considering using TC on a differential? Been stuck between 70k-130k for 7-8 GWs and the only way I can see reaching the top 10k is doing something out of the blue. Looking at these options:
Gabbiadini (if DGW35): HUL, ARS
Gabbiadini (if DGW36): liv, ARS
Zaha/Townsend DGW34: liv, TOT
Pogba DGW34: bur, mci
Add Redmond, Tadic, Mkhi to the bowl as well. Any of these are capable of 2-3 returns in a DGW. Could be a disaster but also a potential masterstroke. Anyone else thinking along these lines?
Pogba would be be so out of the blue it would turn it into purple.
The other options could be genius though.
Pogba has been very unlucky this season to be fair. Him and KDB seem to be competing for most woodwork attempts.
The last thing you want with the TC is to give it to someone with constant bad luck.
Gabbi looks a good shout if in GW35. Everyone would have Sanchez captain when he plays Spurs and Southampton, hardly the best fixtures
Arsenal lost 2-0 and 4-0 in their last two league visits to Soton. Gabbi is my prime choice if they get DGW35.
BB in one of those weeks and TC in 37? Gives more quality options to take punts and there wont be any obvious captain pick.
Hmm... Might give that one a bit more thought. Haven't studied the SGWs yet.
These have a whiff of the 2016 Andy Carrolls about them
Great post. I'm thinking along the same lines. No guts, no glory.
You did not TC Carroll last year.
On the other had if you had TC'd Kone or Martial...
hand*
If i'm chasing in my mini-league, is Kane the right captain choice, as everyone owns Lukaku in my league?
Yes
Yes
sure
Hell yes
Thoughts?
Vardy > Kane
And
Soggy > Zaha
For a - 4.
Worth it?
Well I am doing it, if that helps. Not sure which Swansea will show up this weekend but Zaha against LEI does look appealing.
Siggy just hasn't looked good last few GWs. I'm leading my ML by about 40 odd points at present. Should do it yes!
Yep and it gives you a DGW player in the process.
Yes
DO IT
Any transfers worth doing for a hit?
Heaton, Grant
Davies, Brunt, Robertson, Holebas, Amat
Sanchez, Alli, Firmino, Siggy, King
Kane, Ibra, Lukaku
0.0 itb
Save
Team looks good, the defense could use some work but nothing worth a hit IMO.
G2G
Bench one please:
A- Alonso
B- Valencia
C- King
D- Origi
C, Spurs are too solid at home
C
GW 33 Aguero > Kane done!
GW 34 options are (still have WC so Alonso would be back in GW36):
A) Alonso, Origi > Barragan, Ibra -4
B) Alonso, Siggy, Origi > Valencia, Zaha, Ibra -8
C) Evans, Siggy, Origi > 4.0 (5th def), Zaha, Ibra -8
Aoa + BB intact
King + zaha owner (no fodders)
What week to aoa/bb?
May even bench sane MUN
Bench Sane and then aoa in 35?
That's what I was thinking
Bench sane 34, aoa 35, bb 37...sounds like a plan (they never work)
Cheers
Best captain?
A) Kaku
B) Alli
C) Eriksen
D) Zaha
E) Kun
Gut says C, actually, with Kane back. But not sure.
Thanks 🙂
A
B
And
C all good options I would go lukaku if leading but Ericson is a good shout
Chasing, hence C! lol thanks mate 🙂
C - Great punt and got nothing to loose at this stage mate
Thanks mate, I got rid of Valencia for Vertonghen in the end btw, think I want to get the cash from him to eventually upgrade Zaha, plus Vert can just sit there til the end of the season and get me 6 points 4 or 5 of the games! So I'm on triple Spurs atm with Vert-Eriksen-Alli... should I capt Kaku to spread the risk? Feels so much like all eggs in one massive basket with Eriksen (c) too, plus I hate early capt 😀
No go for Eriksen and be brave. Like me you gotta gamble to gain in OR. Besides I think Burnley could sit back and make it difficult for Everton.
Yeah he was my gut instinct (c) - will try it. Gotta do one early captain a season 😀
get Kane 😉
B,A,C,E,D - in that order
Can't - have Vert, Alli, Eriksen and want to do Kun->Ibra up top next week anyway 🙂
Don't like Alli to be honest, chasing so wana push the differentials - between Kaku and Eriksen I think 😀
Kaku than
What to do with George Friend if you still have him
Wait another week easy bench fodder until 34
this
How essential is kane?
Is this worth a minus 8
Vardy Brunt Davies
To
Kane Stephens barragan?
Stick or twist?
Save
Will Vardy play?
40 points as captain is very essential 😉
So take the hit?
not for -8
Opinions on this WC-team? 1,9 ITB. Looking at Kaku to Ibra after this week.
Hennessy / Pickford
Alonso Vert Valencia Yoshida Chambers
Haz Alli Couts Zaha King
Kane Kaku Tekkers
Not sure on Valencia or chambers on wild card. Might be better off with barragan or Gibson and bailey
Yeah will monitor both! Leaning towards replacing Valencia with Bailly/Rojo and maybe Chamebers with Gibson too
Hey mate, you done it?
Looking very nice. Valencia I reckon you can dispense with actually, I've gotten rid - just can't see him playing particularly v. Burnley in 33 and Swansea in 35 if they are prioritising the UEL, we saw what happened with Liverpool last year and I wana stay away from United. Ibra I'll get, but I'm even considering (c) Zaha on the DGW over him cos I still think he could be a rotation risk.
Yeah I did it! Tbf I should have done it even earlier but now it's catch up time!
Yeah Valencia will go not sure for who though. CBs at United seem pretty nailed. Bailly maybe? Then I'm also not sure on my Zaha/King situation. Got no AOA left so will be a benchimg nightmare in 34/35. Would you choose Redmond/JWP over King?
Ah cool - just like me last week. Realised I'd never improve my OR as I said to you, was stuck at 100k never really going up nor down so needed the boost - at 80 now so hopefully can get so something half decent 😀
Mate I'd probably just stick a not-great midfielder on the bench with a DGW in 37 (4.5) instead of having King, you'll have a perpetual benching headache and you'll want the money to upgrade Zaha in 36 (maybe directly to King). I tend to focus on getting the best XI possible, which tends to mean getting the best front 7 possible, and then working back from there. No point in having King if he's going to be a dead asset and sit on the bench, staring at you with a goal and 3 bonus!
Nice step in the right direction mate! Still stuck at 100k but hoping my WC and Kane (c) will boost me.
Yeah but I want a midfielder with a decent potential for the DGWs. Maybe JWP... The plan is to replace Tekkers with Gabbi/Jesus and Zaha with Sané/Walcott later. Stones for Boro def too
Haha you are literally on the same path as me this year lol
JWP I do like, just about affordable at 5.1 for 5th mid, plus the double double coming up for them. Worth sticking on the bench for sure.
That's my plan, too, probably Sane coming in as Kun will be Ibra and I'll want to redistribute the money. I have Stones as well, oops! lol
What are the bookies odds on Kane getting a hatty Saturday? Assume it must be about evens?
Terrible odds of it's evens I'm thinking 5-1
15/2 on bet365
9/1 on Betvictor
When will we find out these double gw's?
Already announced
???
Only those in GW34, right?
Jaku Valdes
Alonso Chambers Walker Pieters Evans
Eriksen Alli Sanchez JWP Siggy
Lukaku Costa Origi
to
Jaku Valdes (Jaku for this gw, dgw for Valdes, then Victor is out for someone)
Alonso Pieters - Holgate Holebas Chambers (Holbeas and Gibson to gw 34)
Alli - Coutinho Son Zaha de Roon (Son to anyone if lose place in starting 11)
Lukaku - Ibra Kane
1.4 itb, WC
Can you bench boost and WC in the same week?
No
Negative
Only one chip a week!
Thanks Guys!
When will there be a big influx of DGW's?
GW37 likely to be the bumper week
Anyone else own Walker and Valencia and not at all concerned about their minutes? Off the back of an international break and played a lot beforehand. Should both now be refreshed and (in Valencia's case) injury-free
Which SGW players will you keep on WC? Lukaku and no other? Maybe Liverpool-mid few weeks?
don't sure who but I will, defo! 15dgw players may be fools gold. Burned on this many times by selling good players in form to get dgw ones.
Haven't think about it yet but the ones you said I think
Morning all, any thoughts on the following ?
A. Sanchez & Origi > Zaha & Kane -4
B. Aguero > Kane
Jakupovic
Alonso, Valencia, Pieters (Olsson, Brunt)
Eriksen, Alli, Sanchez, Coutinho, Siggy
Aguero, Carroll, Origi
1ft, .3 itb
B is favourite. Ditching Alexis is playing with fire imo (remember all those who sold him earlier this season)
I hear you, very tempting to go with A but it will be typical the week we all ditch Sanchez Wenger sticks him up top again !
Got a rubbish conundrum here....Ward-Prowse (City -h) or Fraser (Spurs -a)?
A
A) Aguero -> Kane (c) 4pt hit
B) captain Lukaku
C) Captain Alli

My team do I need any changes

1FT, 2.3 ITB
How many players are we planning to have for dgw 34?? Hardly WC- ing to get them ?? Not that many players worth getting imo.
I have
Zaha,
Valencia,
Ibra.
Might get m'boro defender also.
Sounds about right to me
Ibra, Zaha, Hennessey/Valdes, Boro and United defender
hennessey, barragan, zaha and getting Ibra in - not particularly inspiring a set of DGW fixtures, not sure I'd want 2 of any of those teams and United will be fielding a weakened team at Burnley I suspect, too, with the derby 4 days later.
