Our post-Gameweek members article is served up this Wednesday lunchtime as we assess some of the stand-out performers over the previous round of fixtures.

Harry Kane, Roberto Firmino and Harry Maguire all catch the eye, and with double Gameweeks predominant in our planning, we also take time out to analyse Manchester United, Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough assets ahead of their pair of upcoming matches.

    Took a -8 to do:

    Good moves yes or no?

      siggy could punish you. (-8) for this gw seems a little much for my liking 🙂

      1. bakayoko
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers. I agree about Siggy, everytime I transfer him out he seems to go on a streak. The other two were useless

    3. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Looks like they are sound moves, yes. There is some exploit of the DGW and reasonable transfers but Siggy will always be a risk to let go, and personally i would´nt done that single transfer, but as a whole (your option on bench included) i think it looks good-). Bear in mind that Walker might be a rotation risk vs Palace so bench order could be something you should do with care this week-) Holgate before Yoshi, maybe?

    Hello guys. Accidentally posted this to old post. What would you do with this lot? Wildcarding on GW36 so transfers will be only for GW's 34/35.

    Heaton
    Robertson, Holgate, Alonso
    Hazard, Sigurdsson, Alli, Zaha
    Lukaku, Aguero, Kane

    Subs: Foster --- Brunt, Yoshida, Clayton --- 1 FT, 1.0 ITB

    A) Brunt -> Bailly
    B) Aguero -> Ibrahimovic
    C) Aguero and Brunt -> Ibra and Bailly (-4)
    D) Something else, what?

    1. La Vida Latte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      A seems like a good move!

    3. Jam0sh

      • 13 Years

      Cheers. Do you think it is ok to go without Ibrahimovic considering I'm trying to close down 25 point deficit to top 1k?

      1. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        If thats your goal I´d defo take a hit to get Ibra in. If he screws it you loose 4 points, if he scores big you are done and out-). Bailly is good-)

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Thank you. I think the biggest decision is whether I do Aguero -> Ibra or not.

          Been around, not as much as I used to though. Been stuck in the 40K's for about six weeks now. Hope you are having a good one 🙂

            That's a pretty good rank. Despite what people around here say anything inside top 100k is good in my book

    2. _Make

      Claudio Ranieri. Of course.

        • 15 Years

        Maldini for sure. Baggio has caused me too much pain as a footballer to win my affections!

  6. El Muñeco

    Foster to DDG -4 worth it?

    Would play Jaku (WAT) if didn't make the trade.

  7. 42towels
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Just watched the Scoutcast. Think it's the best once I have ever seen - great blend of stats, fear, coverage, SGW vs DGW, team bashing and 4 managers with very different orientations for the upcoming week.

    Well done, and thank you.

    2. Legomane

      indeed - only made me more confused...still no wiser on whether to bring in ibra or kane!!

  8. Live Lad
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Play Siggy or King?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      King

    2. Kavorka
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Siggy

  9. Kings of Lyon ★
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Negredos numbers in this article 😯

    1. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Benched him against Arsenal 🙁

      1. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        On paper it was the right move.

  10. Sausage and Eggs
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Im hearing Barragan is unlikely to start, thought he did ok the other night against Arsenal so put him straight in now i'm having doubts......thoughts

    1. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      There's a great hot topic on this.

      1. Sausage and Eggs
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Indeed dont think im the only one with this dilema

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      take a look at Arsenals second goal and try to find what is wrong there-) or should I say who is not where he should be and where is he?

      1. Sausage and Eggs
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        we can all read/listen to Gary Neville harp on about that but he was making the run for Traore that lost the ball which he should have passed, IMO generally he was a good outlet. He would be better placed as a wing back than chambers - Ayala OUT

        1. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          I agree with you to a certain extent, he was caught out by Traore´s loosing the ball, but what I think Agnew saw which he won´t be so fond of is how desinterested/sloppy Barragans reaction to it was. You should at least try to run home, but he doesn´t even try, and if there is one single thing managers don´t appreciate it is lack of trying/no commitment from their players. And he was ok ish overall so it doesn´t need to be an issue at all. I wasn´t aware of Nevilles comment, my source was from norwegian broadcasting-). Neville is hapless, did´nt like him as a player and nor as a pundit and his managerial outings is at best forgettable-)

  11. MattyW
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Negredo or Rashford?
    Zaha or Townsend?

    1. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I've gone Negredo & Zaha, but all are great options imo.

      1. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        +1

    2. Bubbles1985
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'm going Townsend and Negredo

      Really want to throw Rashford in, but already have Ibra and worried about minutes!

  12. Tmel
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez, Tekkers, Kane or Lukaku for the armband?

    1. Kavorka
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Lukaku

    2. bakayoko
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      There is no stopping Kane right now.

  13. Kavorka
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Llorente -> Negredo FT ?

    1. Haggis
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Do you have Siggy?

      1. Kavorka
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        yes

        1. Haggis
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          I'd roll the dice mate.

  14. Tmel
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Have just Valencia & Tekkers for the DGW, think I'm going to have to go without Ibra, in terms of importance to bring in how would you rank to following:

    1) Gibson
    2) Bailly
    3) Rojo
    4) Townsend
    5) Zaha

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      😆

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'd say the order you posted with your current cover

    3. Team Bobcat
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      23541

  15. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    If you had no DGWers, what who would your priority be??

    1. bakayoko
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Negredo for easy fixtures + Boro fighting for their lives + he just scored vs. Arsenal

    2. MattyW
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      in my view; Negredo, Gibson, Zaha, Bailly, Rojo
      Ibra situation has confused things - leaving him out (happily)

    3. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      By position

      1 DDG
      2 Hennessey

      1 Chambers
      2 Bailly

      1 Zaha
      2 Townsend

      1 Ibra
      2 Negredo

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        It's just Ibras ownership is scaring me, but bur mcy isn't exactly an easy combo

        1. Kings of Lyon ★
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Aye, its more a covering thing for Ibra tbh. If he scores 2+ you're up against it.

      2. Jazz!
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Gibson ahead of Chambers I think. Baps monster and 100% nailed (I'd say Chambers is about 95% as he just came back from injury ... )

        1. Kings of Lyon ★
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Aye, you could be right.

  16. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Off topic, but it was great to see Sergio win the masters. He has tried so hard for so long. A lesson in resilience for me and not ever giving up.

    1. RustyBz
      • 10 Years

      you on a dial up? 😉

        Ha ha rusty. Delayed reactions for sure!

  17. faux_C
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    What do we think of this for -4, with AAA?

    Pickford
    Lovren, Walker
    Alli, Eriksen, Sanchez, Zaha, King
    Zlatan, Lukaku, Negredo

    (Grant, Mee, Maguire, Stones)

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Nice

      but beware of Walker, he might get rotated. Maguire in front of Mee in case of Walker no show, maybe?

  18. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Which one:
    1. Grant to Valdes (if fit)
    2. Grant to Hennessey and Robertson to Barragan -4 (would have to play him over Alonso)

    1. Sterling Chap
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Neither are great really. Can you get just Hen in?

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yep can get Hen

    2. Team Bobcat
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      The big Q. Have you a WC left to play?

      If you do then valdes if fit a good option.

      If you don't you must remember that valdes is spent after 34.

      Look at the clean sheet stats I posted below.

      I would recommend DDG Bravo lloris or you could gamble on the cheaper Schmeichel.

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks. I will have a look. Its for DGW only

  19. Mattymo23
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    A) Origi to Negredo
    B) Bernardo to Chambers
    C) Vert and Wally to Chambers and Son (-4)

  20. 404_FC
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    anyone here hav ibra and not captain him ?

    and who do u put armband with ?

    1. Sterling Chap
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yeh, thinking Lukaku

  21. Team Bobcat
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    How is this for defensive stats. Clean sheets only in last 10 games. Look who are bottom.

    Mun 6, Tot 5, Mci 5, Eve 4, Sou 4, Cry 4, Mid 3, Bur 3, Stk 3, Wat 3, Sun 3, Ars 2, Liv 2, Lei 2, Wba 2, Bou 2, Swa 2, Whu 1, Hul 1, Che 0.

    Davies 5 Fuchs 2 Brunt 2 Olsson 2 Alonso 0

    TOT = 11

    Man City & Man Utd have surprised in equal measure.

    Bravo may be the safest way into the City B4 but Doubling up on Man Utd could also reward.

  22. Sterling Chap
    • 11 Years

    0.3ITB and willing to take a hit. What's my next move?

    Jaku
    Gibson Alonso Valencia
    Eriksen Alli Siggy King
    Ibra(vc) Lukaku(c) Kun
    Foster / T.Carroll / Yoshida / Amat

    1. RustyBz
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Siggy -> Zaha

      1. Sterling Chap
        • 11 Years

        Cheers. Do you think it's worth the -4?

          Yeah I do.

        The obvious^^^

        My vote too. But the obvious is not always the best as everyone who plays this game only knows too well.

    2. Pinky Blinders
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure but seeing Amat reminded me of how good it felt to get rid of that non contributing zero last GW after having him hang around for so long in my squad.

      1. Sterling Chap
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yeh, he's properly annoying

  23. Shah G
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I was 1.7m after GW18, now I am just under 100k, is it good enough to say in last 15 GWs I played well at least?..

    1. Sterling Chap
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Defo, and keep on going

      1. Shah G
        • 12 Years

        Thanx..

    2. Pinky Blinders

      Of course that is serious progress.

        Thanx.. The reason is I ask this because I play hybrid style of Jonty of old - no hits, ownership. And this season's Jonty - with lots of hits. - and by playing that style I made this progress.. So is it good enough or should I tweek my style?..

    Big decision to make on Ibra.

    At the mo, I'm looking at either:

    A) Sanchez and Origi > Zaha and Ibra for -4
    B) Origi > Negredo

    Wildcard still in tact so will be bringing Sanchez back in for GW36. Thoughts? Too risky going in without Ibra?

      Do you think that the following players are going to be SGWers or DGWers for 34

      De Roon
      Valencia

      and if you think that they are going to be SGWers are you

      Playing
      Keeping
      Selling for another DGWer

      Any ideas would be welcomed

        Double, both. Keeping regardless.

        De Roon DGWer but even so I wouldn't hesitate to bench him for a SGWer with a good fixture (King, Siggy, Son, etc). Don't own him.

        Valencia SGWer. Keeping and playing.

      Seems Bayern fans clashed with Madrid Police last night, the same as Leicester fans did. Is it the Madrid police or fans that are to blame?
      Last night's match at the Bernabeu was treated as "high risk" and 1800 police deployed with batons and face masks.

      A bit unusual and excessive force if you ask me.

        I wouldn't consider any number of police in the circumstances excessive.

        A lot of kids and decent folk would have been at the game along with tourists visiting so any effort to protect them from walking mobs is very welcome.

        A fee tanks might not go astray either.

        I have no time for hooliganism and would not describe any effort at policing that excessive no matter how many police deployed.

        Lets not distract from why the police were there.

        Hooliganism thugs whichever takes you fancy are not welcome by me in any walk of life.

          Is there any proof that Bayern fans were behaving bad enough to be beaten up?

          I agree with your point about protecting others from hooliganism, but beating fans is a little unusual. Breaking up fights I understand.

          This was at half time. When the score was 0-0 and before all the contentious decisions.

      A) Maguire > Rojo (-4) Can't afford Bailley and have Valencia.
      B) Maguire > PVA (-4)

      Will be doing Robles > Hennessey with my FT.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Are you sure Pva will start both? I know Schlupp had a terrible game against Vardy, but still.

        1. Kloppen Schloppen
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          I think Palace need him more than anything right now. If he's fit, he's starting. Can't see them not giving him at least 1 full game, I think it will be the Liv game and it just feels like a tight match. Palace doing well against the bigger sides (Chelsea, Arsenal shutout). There's a lot to like.

          I also LOVE Maguire, so this is really hard...

          1. EmreCan Hustle
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            I don't see Maguire outscoring PvA till the end of the season anyway, so go for it.

      2. Aubaaaaa
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I kinda like Maguire's chances at home. But if you really want, I would think A would be a better option. Man utd has been resilient at the back and palace having tough fixtures. Wouldn't rely solely on PVA's attacking threat.

        1. Kloppen Schloppen
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Thanks - I'm hating having to get rid of Maguire but DGW you have to think either of those will outscore him. Also looking at GW35, Man Utd have Swansea, Palace have Burnley. Still Utd??

      3. Team Bobcat
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        A looks good

    • Aubaaaaa
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Which will you do:
      A. Walker out for Bailly
      B. Carroll out for Negredo
      C. Both for -4

      1. Team Bobcat
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        B

        I would find someone else out if I could for bailly or rojo if can not afford.
