Paul Our usual post-match delve into the Gameweek data arrives this evening as we check in with some of the standout players from the previous round of fixtures.
Gameweek 31 remains a factor in our selection, with Everton and Bournemouth midfielders catching the eye.
Watford’s defence under Javi Gracia is also analysed, while Brighton’s playmaker and Leicester’s attack-minded centre-half more than merit their place under the spotlight.
Which goalkeeper is the best for gw 31 Begovic could get a clean sheet against falling wba
He could
I'm tempted by Butland. Not sure if he'll make many saves with Everton being the opponents, though.
Correct, Everton are passive in away matches.
Karius.
Lossl
What a shame a player of Bale's quality is only being used as a sub.
TBF he has been crap of late
He doesn't seem to mind
He probably has a few million reasons not to be too unhappy about it.
Unwanted at Real. Reckon Jose will negotiate down to a £200m bid now.
who to play this GW?
A. Walcott (Brighton home)
B. Ayew (Huddersfield away)
A
A
Madrid goal
Live Scoutcast link now available - getting underway shortly
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibvsDIdzPEg
Wait until the games have finished innit.
That would be the sensible thing to do
Won't happen then?
Areola made a tit of himself there
Pity he didn’t have a twin
Who to play this week?
A. Adrian (BUR)
B. Ryan (eve)
I have the same keepers. I'm goin Adrian. It's a bit of a coin toss though
Cheers mate. Went Adrian last week and it didn’t turn out to well lol
PSG watching too much of Palace last night, shocking defending!
They are a man down and chasing a game
Just why ?
A wild Casemiro appears in the box. Side foot attack effective.
Do I ship Richarlison this week or hold him for gw 31? Only other option is to go Duffy to Schindler and play Schindler this week (bench Richarlison).
A) Schindler gw 30 and 31 + Richarlison gw 31
B) Walcott gw 30 and 31
When you have him this long you may as well keep him for 31
Do Tottenham have a gw31 fixture?
no
Shows you on the fixtures list.
Scoutcast started yet?
yes
Impressive to think PSG can replace an injured Neymar with Di Maria, then sub him off when he's brutal and bring on Draxler and still manage to be woeful.
I think it actively takes effort to play so bad with their squad.
When the league is a cakewalk sometimes it can be difficult to raise your game against a quality opponent
They were on fire earlier in the season.
Your's is a good point but reckon it's a disharmonious bunch and rumours certainly suggest that.
Play Ogbona or Wilson this GW or maybe Ogbona to Schindler and play him?
Got all of them so dunno :/
Failed season for PSG then? Even if they win the double.
Yep.
For other Ligue 1 teams it would be a great season.
For PSG, we all know their last hurdle is the Champions League. They went out and spent an awful lot of money for what I presume was that purpose. In my opinion, they didn't need Neymar and Mbappe to win Ligue 1, maybe would have been tighter but they'd still be favourites imo. All of that summer preparation was for the Champions League, so this has to be classed as a pretty disappointing season in that regard.
Niall Quinn is happy
He give us a wee wink
Misread your comment...
Who would you prefer to get in first Willian or Mkhi?
Mkhi has WAT then STK
Willian has CPL then TOT
Whichever player I don’t get I’ll be getting in for the second game in gw32 anyway.
Is neither an option?
Yes of course. What do you recommend here?
DDG
Davies, Martina, Maguire
Salah, Mahrez, Arnie, Walcott, Kenedy
Kane, Firmino
Hennessy, Wilson, VVD, Francis
1ft 3.1 itb
Not sure what I'd recommend for this week, all I can say is neither option fills me with that much confidence at the moment. Probably prefer Willian but then rotation and fixtures like Tottenham aren't ideal.
I do see Chelsea going on a run though for the top 4. Especially if they get knocked out of CL by Barca. Arsenal have great fixtures. Both have DGW’s.
Some kind soul let me know latest around 34/35/37 - thanks in advance
Come again?
34 double GW? 37 double GW expected ? Which teams likely?
Love PSG crashing out. The most synthetic, foul tasting team in world football. Far worse than Real.
This
Barcelona have spent shed loads of cash also it is just a fact of modern football which you will just have to get use to
Your team is second
Actually they're first by about 15 points 😉
Obviously you don’t appreciate the best football the PL has ever seen then
You must be a Tony Pulis fan
What autocratic monarchies effectively bankrolling clubs. How very sporting.
Barcelona and Real have been doing it for years
They aren't run by petro states
Still state sponsored teams
Madrid received favouritism under Franco but that's about it. Anyways I don't begrudge the current City team as Pep is a footballing treasure and are showing more restraint than a few other teams atleast.
Predictions for Utd Liverpool on Saturday.. looks a massive game to decide 2nd place.
I wonder will Jose actually try to go for it this time with Kaku & Sanchez rather than playing not to lose
0-1
Scenes if this happens. Klopper air punching his way up the old Trafford touchline like a young Mourinho all those years ago with Porto.
1-1
0-0
0-0 Borefest
Bizarrely I could see a 4-3 or 3-4 as both teams are scoring & conceding at the minute & have bones to pick after the first game being slated for a 0-0
Liverpool have only conceded once in their last 5
Long overdue to concede a few 🙂
He'll park the bus just like his last 3 against Klopp
2-1
Liverpool will take it.
Anyone know if Ibe is back soon ?
And what are you doing with Sterling? Keep, or bail?
Ibe has a minor knock
Selling Raheem
Keep Sterling - not sure about Ibe mate
Dunno
Waiting for news.
Not optimistic on Ibe though we haven't really got anything concrete.
Obviously see what squad MCI pay tomorrow
Andy transfers in a player that doesn't play and get's a signed teamsheet from said player and a good story to tell.
When I do that I don't want to show up for work on Monday morning for fear of the ribbing i'll get.
Andy is the ultimate plastic fan 😉
Help please - play one.....
Doucoure (ars)
Mee (wha)
Niasse (BRI) already got Walcott
Doucoure against a rubbish Arsenal
Yep, what I was thinking too, cheers!
I agree with doucore.
Looking forward to hearing Virg's extreme response to the discussion of the cost of BGW hits on the Scoutcast 😀
Who's the #11 on Az's wall?
Really unsure on this... Considering I don't have a wildcard and will likely stick with those players for at least 3-4 gameweeks...
Is Monreal and Quaner > Hudd def and Deeney worth -4?
Yes on current form and fixtures
Is Monreal out for a while?
What are expected DGWs and who? TIA
DGWs probably 34 & 37, but don’t rule out some games being re-arranged outside these 2 weeks, it has happened in other seasons.
Fa cup quarter finalists and semi finalists and their opponents will have DGWs from when the league games were postponed to hold the QFs and SFs ie. fixtures from 31 & 35 to reschedule
Is gw31 when everyone using the Free Chip? Or is it better on DGW I got all chips still
The theory is the DGWs when there are more appealing options....but these things tend to throw up some surprises like
Walcott & Shaquiri brace
Liverpool dont score
Clean sheets all round for Hud/CP/WB/Bou
Best 31 combo?
A) Schindler and Tosun
B) Baines and Mounie
C) Francis and King
Anyone watching the scout cast and see az transform into Bobby Zamora???
Weird
