Fantasy Premier League managers have endured a tough Gameweek 34 and almost certainly have questions for the next round of fixtures.

We are hurtling into the final Double Gameweek of the season with the Bench Boost chip looking the most likely to be deployed.

With the fixtures still appearing tricky to navigate, and the captaincy even harder, we have brought together another panel of managers to help you out.

Who’s on the panel this week?

      Just looked at your team. Only the captaincy choice really let you down, it's a pretty decent score right?

        Yeah, have to be happy with it considering I sold Fraser + Alisson for -8.
        Was selling Diop and Rice to Duffy and Dunk for free regardless so have to take that disaster on the chin 🙂

      You were only in the top 1k in mid-gameweek.
      You've still gone up nearly 200 places since GW33.
      What are you complaining about?

        True, but hindsight isnt it, expected a Fulham collapse and even though Everton played dirt, DCL was very unlucky not to score at least one!

          No, not hindsight. The guy is worth £5.4, played an away game, and has a total of 4 offensive returns away all season.

          You were expecting a brace?

            It definitely wasn't impossible. He's only played a full half or more in 7 away fixtures this season, meaning he's managed to get attacking returns in over 50% of the away opportunities he's been given - he wasn't nailed before, now he seems to be. When you consider that Fulham has been one of those teams that attacking players have relished playing against this season, captaining him doesn't seem like a stupid idea at all. You can try and criticise his lack of foresight if you want, but I reckon to be around the top 1000 he must have taken a few calculated risks this season, and they have paid off more often than not. This seems like an entirely calculated risk to me.

      Deeney looks to be your only pressing issue. You could transfer him to Gray to play it safe, or you could take a hit (e.g. by downgrading Salah) and then upgrading him to whoever appeals to you more. I don't think yours is a bad situation though. I'd be looking at playing BB this week anyway because you're going to get a lot more mileage out of it this week than any other. I know triple Brighton defence isn't ideal, but far stranger things have happened than them keeping a CS next GW.

        But now I look at the rest of their fixtures, perhaps taking hits to get rid of Dunk and Ryan (worth keeping Duffy imo) aren't the worst ideas. Ryan to Gunn might be shrewd

        Yeah, that's how I'm feeling about the BB. Don't want to use it this week, but don't have much option. The Deeney red card is so frustrating, because it's a FT I could use on one of the Brighton defenders.

        1. Sheeno
          • 11 Years

          That's true, but I think it's best to think of each transfer on case-by-case basis. For example, I think it would probably be worth transferring Ryan to Gunn even if it will cost you 4 pts - there's a chance you'll recoup that next GW in that Southampton have the higher chance of keeping a CS, but even if you don't, they have some tasty home fixtures against Bournemouth and Huddersfield coming up afterwards where Gunn will be likely to be your first choice keeper. I can't vouch for whether or not Dunk or Duffy need transferring, they at least have some attacking potential unlike Ryan, though obviously Dunk should leave before Duffy for that reason.

    Sorry, bottomed!

    This is my team as it stands, on a BB, no FT but 2.0 ITB:

    Leno / Gunn
    Robertson / Kola / Duffy / Valery / AWB
    Sterling / Mané / Mili / JWP / Brooks
    Aguero / Lacazette / Jimenez

    Any suggestions for transfers? 2 million is a fair bit of wiggle room. Waiting to see what the latest is on Valery as I'll definitely have to transfer him out if he's injured. Aside from that, any glaring omissions I should upgrade to?

    Cheers!

            Thanks. Maybe so. I am just a bit sickened that the Man City clean sheet did not happen.
            Sigurdsson did nothing v Fulham
            Then Trippier was rested.
            Was convinced sterling would be rested so did not get him.
            Basically the opposite happened in all those calls.

            Hopefully Vardy might prove to be one of the few good choices!

    Lloris Foster
    Robertson Duffy Laporte Valery Doherty
    Sterling Eriksen Son Jota JWD
    Jiminez Aguero Deeney

    Deeney to Long (-4) and play bench boost (the only reason why I’m bringing in Long is so I can afford Mane against Huddersfield next week)
    Or TC Jiminez?

      I have very similar situation. My concern is Duffy, Valery, JWP, and Long (in your case)
      I think TC

    What you think will Aguero start both games?

    If he starts in UCL and then both in DGW that would be 5 games in 12-13 days and they have Burnley away after United game

    Thinking to TC him but know he is injury prone.......

      Think he is gonna play both in dgw35 and then rested against Burnley.

      Personally I would TC him over Jimenez. He has a higher ceiling, plays for a way better team, yet a bit tougher opponents

      he is not scoring at the moment and also looks out of sorts on the pitch so makes no difference be better off investing in someone else

      i think he starts both... as TM says tonight is a big factor, but those two prem games Pep needs to play his best team... then possibly rested v Burnley

      hes a great captain choice

    Thinking about going Laca (155 points total) over Firmino (158 points total) One game more in hand. But Pool slightly better fixtures.

    Pool: car, HUD, new, WOL
    Arsenal: CRY, wol, lei, BRI, bur

    Both could get minutes managed due to EL/CL. Was on Firmino before, but im now in doubt

    Thoughts?
