Our post-Gameweek members article assessing some of the top performers arrives once again this evening.

With many Fantasy managers now looking to wield Wildcards, we cast an eye over in-form and in-demand attackers and also assess some of the stand-out assets in defence ahead of Friday evening’s deadline.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Cech - ______
    Monreal - Yoshida - Stephens - Holgate - ______
    Sanchez - Hazard - Eriksen - King - Tadic (Sane in GW37)
    Kane - Jesus - Anichebe

    Should the blanks be:

    A) Caballero and Vertonghen
    B) Pickford and Azpi

    Essentially, does the stronger GK in GW37 compensate enough for not having a Chelsea defender at all?

    Cheers!

    1. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      B, Chelsea with great fixtures.

        Thanks. That's the way I was leaning. It's good to get some confirmation.

    2. Hotdogs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B

      B
      Cab and Azpi an option??

      1. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Nope. Too expensive, unfortunately.

  2. Gooner97

    How long till price rises?

    1. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      30 mins.

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks.

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      No way 30 mins. Often changes not long after 2:10. 20 mins from now to be safe

      1. FPLtfs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        It's usually 2.10-2.15, and I wrote it 5 mins before you commented. "No way" seems a bit harsh :p

  3. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Given no injuries, is this lot gtg?

    Caballero
    Alonso, Monreal, Stephens
    Sanchez (c), Hazard, Alli, King,
    Jesus, Kane, Gabbiadini

    Pickford, Sane, Holgate, Blind
    0.0 itb, wc active.

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

      Looks good, I wouldn't keep Blind on a wc though.

      1. FPLtfs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers! He is mostly in due to a couple of rivals having double utd def. Coverage if they get a cs in gw37.

        1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          With EL mixed in and injuries and poor fixtures, I am going without ManU defense... seems strange as they were the defense to have just a couple weeks ago

          1. FPLtfs
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            I totally agree. Shipped de Gea and Valencia on wc, got in Blind for the reason stated above.

  4. Killersquad
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    King or Sane?

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      King

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      King this week. Both next for me

      1. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        This.

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Both... Sane went up tonite too

  5. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I have to do -4 Aguero+Coutinho > Sanchez+Jesus (instead of Costa) now before price changes to be able to afford JWP>Sane FT for 37

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Have you factored in the likely Sane price increase?

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yes. 0.1 breathing room if I make trades today

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Go for it. Even if Sanchez and Jesus don't immediately pay back the 4, surely Sane will in GW37.

  6. Killersquad
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Guys, need some advice and need to move quickly due to price changes. I am leading my ML by 4 points and the one chasing only has sanchez from the guys I plan to bring in.

    currently team:

    Pick - henn

    Mustafi - clichy - bailly - stephens - holgate

    Haz - erik - alli - coutinho* - zaha*

    Kun* - kane - benteke*

    I am looking at moving out * for sanchez - jesus - sane - gabbi.

    It would be a -8 hit. It could be -4 if I so the zaha to sane move next gw.

    I will fix the defense later.

    Should I do it? Any other suggestions

    1. Four Four Boyz
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      They're all good moves, and -8 this week feels like less of a blow especially if you can hold a transfer for the final week. Live dangerously!

  7. Four Four Boyz
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Anybody else planning on going a bit hit-tastic here? Played the old wildcard a couple of weeks back and feel like having some fun.

    1. bigbudgie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      -8 last week, -4 this week, let's see for 37 🙂

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

      Most definitely.
      Took -12 last week which mostly worked out with the exception of Negredo>Gabbi

      Looking at -4 or -8 this week.

  8. thelambz
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Davies + Sane or Vert + Tadic?

    Thanks lads!

    1. Four Four Boyz
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      What is the prognosis on Rose? If he is out then A easily

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

        Seems like no update as of yet. My guess is Davies plays this week and 1 match of the double.

  9. Hotdogs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Which team would you rather have? On WC. Basically B gets me Vardy

    A:
    Caballero / Pickford
    *KOSCIELNY / Alonso / *DANIELS / Huth / Yoshida
    Hazard / Sanchez / Alli / King / *SANE
    Kane / Jesus / *ANICHEBE

    B:
    Caballero / Pickford
    *GABRIEL / Alonso / Huth / Yoshida / *STEPHENS
    Hazard / Sanchez / Alli / King / *CAN (or any 4.9)
    Kane / Jesus / *VARDY

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I prefer A. Anichebe won't get you anything on a bench boost, but neither will Can.

    2. Ravager
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I prefer A but B with Albrighton (maybe) could be a good look.

  10. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    OK, assuming I don't change my plan to BB in 37, who do I bench this week?

    A) Sanchez
    B) Hazard
    C) Sane
    D) Eriksen
    E) King
    F) Kane
    G) Costa
    H) Gabbiadini

    I'm actually thinking Eriksen :O

    1. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I have something similar and benching Sane because no one in my ML has him

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks. I'm only playing for OR at this stage (I'm only in 1 ML which is not competitive). I kind of agree on Sane, but he's my only City player, so...

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Guys I have Sane too and I am benching Gabbi now. with the double for Gabbi is this silly?

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I'm not benching Gabbiadini out of pure stubbornness - I literally got him only because of GW 36!

      2. FPLtfs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I'm playing Gabbi.

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

    Would anyone prefer Pedro + Vert to Sane + Huth?

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

      Pedro + Vert IMO

    2. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Assuming Pedro and Sane get similar game time, then yes.

  12. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Pull the trigger? 20 mins to decide

    I have to do -4 Aguero+Coutinho > Sanchez+Jesus (instead of Costa) now before price changes to be able to afford JWP>Sane FT for 37

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

      Yay

    2. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Y

    3. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. If you have Hazard and Alonso, you should feel fairly well covered with Chelsea. If Costa goes nuts, it'll just be tough luck, but this is the right move.

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks. Just read article about Chelsea fans going nuts about Costa performance against Everton and that they all think he's leaving end of season so trade made

        1. BananaNose Maldonado
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah, it'll be more fun owning Jesus anyway. I'm in. Why not?

  13. smix
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Best GW37 4.7 and under. Already own Yoshi & Stephens

  14. kumast
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Christ I wish I could be sure about Gabriels starts for last three weeks. This game is turning my hair grey.

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I did WC last week so it's in lap of the Wengers now

  15. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Hennessey (Pickford)
    Stephens Bailly* Vertongen (Holgate Gibson)
    Alli Hazard Sanchez King (De Roon)
    Lukaku Kane Gabbi

    WC Already played. Plan was to get out Gibson + De Roon (now Bailly) with frees + hits. Have zero ITB though so who would you downgrade?

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Jesus for Lukaku should save some money (depending on how much you got Lukaku for). Enough to get a Chelsea defender, or to upgrade de Roon?

      1. Ravager
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        My 'issue' is that I like Lukaku's fixtures and didn't want to go *too* DGW crazy. Might come back to haunt me. But I appreciate it.

        If you had to lose Bailly, straight swap to Blind?

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          He's been poor away and Watford park the bus

        2. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          I could be wrong, but I think the time has passed for United defence. Fixtures aren't the best and even if Blind seems nailed with all the injuries you never know what kind of rotation to expect.

          Having said all that, I can't think of any good options for less than what Bailly costs. If Gabriel wasn't such a liability in Arsenal's last game I'd recommend him probably.

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            I have 0 Manure players since Ibra injured. Should've got Blind over Gibson for 34 but no interest now

  16. mcrayeps
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    On WC and this is my plan for GW 36 :

    Jakupovic (Caballero)
    Alonso Monreal Lowton (Stephens Kingsley)
    San(c)hez Hazard Alli King (T.Caroll)
    Kane Costa Jesus
    1.6 itb, so i have a space to move at DGW 37 if injuries happen

    A) Play Lowton(WBA) or Stephens(liv ARS) for GW 36
    B) King(STK) or Sane(CRY)
    C) Jesus (CRY WBA LEI) vs Lukaku (swa WAT)

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

      no Bench Boost 🙂

          But save points.

            • 8 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            im sort of 0.2 , but if i downgrade a.smith to holgate i can afford pickford ..

  18. kumast
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Monreal not likely to go up tonight is he? On 95.1 (I've been stung before by unexpected rises)

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

      is it possible no price change today?

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

        ?

      2. FPLtfs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        very possible imo.

      3. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Probably. Every time it's close and I have to do or risk not affording a player nothing happens

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Aaaaand there it is again

    2. FFPro
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      dgw threshold + wcers, I'd be surprised if he rose

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

        dgw threshold?

  19. Prismism
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    W/C'd in GW29, left with this lot:

    Cech Pickford
    Davies Valencia Bailly Alonso Stephens
    Alli Sanchez Hazard Sane King
    Kane Rash Origi

    Already used my FT on getting Cech in. Should I do any surgery for GW36 (£1.1 banked)?

    Obv Origi is piss poor but just can't see Gabby getting more than 90mins over the two games, nor a goal. Valencia more nailed with Shaw out? Bailly likely to be rested midweek for Ars? Ship Davies or accept he'll only play 90 mins of GW27?

    Thanks in advance

    My current WC thinking:

    Caballero XXXX
    Alonso Stephens Gabriel Holgate XXXX
    Sanchez Hazard King Eriksen XXXX
    Kane Jesus XXXX

    BB in GW 37.

    Which of the following to fill in the blanks:

    a. Pickford, Cahill, Alli, Anichebe
    b. Cech, Yoshida, Carroll, Costa

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A

    2. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      c) Pickford, Yoshida, Sane, Gabbi? Don't like Carrol or Big Vic.

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I think I prefer Cahill and Alli to Yosh Sane Gabbi

      2. Little Frank
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Not keen on Gabbbi, would probably bench this week if I had him.
        Carroll or Vic will just be used for bench boost next week (Carroll plays Sunderland, Anichebe should get at least 4 with a DGW)

        1. FPLtfs
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

          Then it's a) for me 🙂

          1. Little Frank
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Thanks, I've tried numerous ways to get Costa in but I keep coming back to A as well.

        Anichebe is a waste and with BB in 37 Cech CS and Costa points trump Pick and Alli with fixtures tough for Spurs

        98.1 and 3.0 before rise. 0 trades could mean WC right?

              He doesn't have Kane or Sane.

              I don't think he has used it yet, as his TV only differs 0.1 from last gw. He might though.

    I am on WC now, the question is king really a must?

    Im leading towards tadic foe dgw 36 and switching to Sane in the following week.

    Which of the players are a must when you WC is on?

  24. Judas

    8 years, 7 months ago

    If I go with Anichebe upfront, which of these to go with?

    A: Courtois + Monreal
    B: Cech + Cahill/Azpi

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      B

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Did you sell Jesus for 30 pieces of silver?

      1. Judas
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Never speak of his name

    3. Little Frank
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      B with Cahill

    - Is Alonso worth the money?

    - If Chelsea wrap the title , guess he will be benched along with luiz to make way for Ake and terry

    - can we get 4 Chelsea spots? Tough to pick only 3. How many do you have?

    1. bigbudgie
      • 11 Years

      Alonso and Hazard right now. But why would Alonso be benched for Ake and or Terry? Neither are wing backs.

      1. FPLtfs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Azpi could play wing back with Ake / Zouma / Terry cb. Don't see it though after the performance at Old Trafford.

      2. The Architect of Anarchy
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Because if Chelsea wrap the title by say first match of 37, with finals in mind he might be rested ?
        Terry will definitely come in because this will be the last time he will play for Chelsea.
        He might lead the team against Sunderland.

    2. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'm going with only Alonso and Hazard. So many other good options.

      1. The Architect of Anarchy
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I am considering two at the back

        They have just brilliant fixtures.
        Definite cs in coming weeks

    3. bigbudgie
      • 11 Years

      I really want Fabregas. Cheeky punt

    4. mcrayeps
      • 9 Years

      having alonso hazard and costa from long times ago

  26. bigbudgie
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Pickford (Valdes)
    Alonso Yoshida Gabriel (Vertonghan, Chambers)
    Sanchez (c) Hazard Alli King JWP
    Kane Jesus (Benteke)

    A) Play Gabriel or Vertonghan
    B) Play JWP or Benteke
    C) Or play AOA with Alonso + 1 more defender (I would play Alonso ahead of those DGWers 99 times out of 100)
