Paul We delve into the Gameweek 36 data this evening after Arsenal’s clash with Newcastle drew the line under another round of matches. With the double Gameweek fast approaching, we cast any eye over some standout performers from City, United, Sunderland and West Brom, whilst we also analyse a couple of popular Fantasy protagonists whose recent droughts are persuading many owners to part company:
I'm going with both but Demi if you have to choose one
Worth upgrading Chester with my FT?
Chester ------> 5.4 ???
I'm thinking Sunderland/Alonso........
Bottomed out last page
Team ready for this week even though only 4 DGW'ers, happy with the squad.
Marshall
JT Kos Demel
Gerrard Mata Nasri Rambo
Kun(c) Rooney Suarez
Subs: Speroni Ward Chambers BJohnson
-4 and 0 ITB
How is she looking then?
She looks good. Gerrard > Yaya worth another -4 I reckon
A) Nasri + Evra/Jones + 4pt
or
B) Mata + Demichelis
???
A quick look guys...Is this ok ok or good enough to go?
Mannone (Boruc)
Jones, Iva, Flanagan (Ward, Coleman)
Ramsey, Mata, Yaya, Nasri (Punch)
Rooney, Aguero, Wickham
4.4 in bank...Will you change anything (will be for a hit)?
Real vs Chelsea would be epic.
Need an early goal then parked that bus
don't know how that would be epic
after watching Madrid (CR, Bale, Modric, Di Maria & co) thrash BM.. do you think AM or Chelsea would attack them in the finals?
Attacking team vs Defensive team .. would be a tactical game for sure!
Let me explain
Once upon a time Carlo manage Chelsea
Ironacly, again once upon a time Jose managed Real
Now this may not be classified as epic for you.
It's probably because you may think arsenal winning fa cup after an Almost decade and grabbing 4th spot is more epic.
Rant over.
😆
Nah it would be epic indeed. I think Chelsea will actually beat em
lol calm down...just saying the game itself may be a bit attritional cos of the way chelski way...the spectacle on the other hand is crazy
no I'm disappointed with our season
Epic rant.
Neither is epic, stupid 'rant' for no reason :S
What would you do with this lot?
Mannone / Boruc
Coleman / Chambers / Ward / Olsson / Ivanovic
Mata / Ramsey / Noone / Eriksen / Yaya Touré
Suárez / Agüero / Rooney
1 FT, £0.7m in the bank.
Willing to make 3 transfers if needed.
Thanks in advance.
Coleman to Jones or Demi
Coleman > Evra
Chambers > Alonso
Eriksen > Nasri
Olsson/ Noone to non playing
Boruc to non playing
Eriksen -> Nasri
Seems pointless. May as well sell Coleman for Alonso and get Nasri that way.
Coleman to Jones/Demi
Chambers/Olsson to Vergini
This seems more realistic.
I cant wait for the Chelsea match tonight.
Perfect chance to get a wee nap.
Jose is a tactical genius. I mean telling his players to keep a backline of 10 & catch a team on the break when they make a mistake, or use a set piece to bore out a 1-0 win...
How genius!!
Plus fall over a lot, roll around the ground & taking 10 mins to take a kick out.
Mastermind.
its not pretty, but it works
Will you be strapped to your comfy chair eyes pried open like Alex deLarge?
He's a brilliant manager and people who argue against that make themselves look foolish!
Brilliant manager, yes.
Tactical mastermind, no.
He can set up a team better than nearly anyone and he can get all of his players to die for him on the pitch, but he's not coming up with anything new, and he's not a genius, he just knows how to win and grind out results.
Frustrating Liverpool early in the game by wasting time was a tactical stroke as they always score early and take out the opposition by storm. Give him the credit for thinking this strategy apart from bus parking
He deserves credit and it was exactly what Chelsea needed to do but it wasn't a tactical masterclass, a masterclass is something very impressive that showed him to be a master at it, but Palace and West Ham and lots of others employ that tactic, I don't think Mourinho can say that was a masterclass when they just time wasted and booted the ball away at every opportunity, it would be different if they parked the bus and then also did something with the ball, but they barely even tried to play.
Liverpool could have reacted better as they needed just a point but it is in the past and by 5th may we will know who claims the title & despite Mou's tactics/antics ,it isn't going to be Chelsea for sure
Haters gonna hate 😎
in fairness, the playacting is tedious.
but lining up teams to defend properly against high class opposition is simply not that easy.
if teams had any sense, they wouldn't press too hard but would let chelsea come on to them and then open up the game.
the tactis are walys fascinating for me.
plus im off to the bridge tonight
CCCCAARRREEEFFFFRRRRREEEEEEEEE
Enjoy it tonight! 😀
Because if you get through, we'll probably kick Mourinho in the face.
Twice.
Each.
I think the final is going to be close no matter what, but I don't think you's would be able to park the bus against us in the final, we wouldn't fall for it and Ronaldo/Bale/Benzema are too good to be kept out for 90 minutes.. We're not Liverpool and we're not Atleti 😉
to be honest, you parked the bus in both legs against bayern, you just happen to be lightning on the counter. whereas we have demba 😉
We didn't park the bus last night? 😛 we won 0-4??
We parked the bus in the first leg but in fairness everyone expected Bayern to be more dangerous.. We don't normally park the bus 😉
You're not going to be able to park the bus against Atletico or Chelsea either.
This might come back to haunt you, like whatever's haunting Mourinho's once rather handsome mug.
I'm not saying we'll win, just that I can see Casillas or Ramos or a host of other players potentially kicking the ball very hard at the Chelsea dugout for a throw in..
That bad?
It's a shame, really. I recall Mourinho's 11/12 Real being a genuinely very exciting team to watch (admittedly as someone who only saw a handful of games). He now looks as if he's aged 20 years since then.
He scape-goated Casillas for no reason whatsoever, called the entire team traitors and "sons of bitches", and nearly ruined the reputation of Real Madrid and its players.
We hated him at Madrid.
Onus is always on a team which wants to get result esp. at home .I have never seen him employing those tactics at the bridge and other team is free to do so ,even simeone defended those tactics.
If Hazard makes it through tonights match, hes my differential for the rest of the season!
Morning lads. You reckon there is much in it between A and B??
A) Kolarov Azpi Alonso Mata Sterling
B) Evra Jones Chester Zaba/Demi Eriksen
Hi, which of these moves would you do?
A. Eriksen > Yaya (-4)
B. Coleman > Any defender except United / City (-4)...please specify!
C. Both of above for -8
D. Neither
Thanks
Hi guys what would you do with this team?
Adrian - Price
Demichellis - Cahill - Baines - Bardsley - Chambers
Mata - Nasri - AJ - Delph - Mutch
Rooney - Aguero - Suarez
Bank £0.6m
Thoughts..
GW37 - Adrian & Baines -> Mannone & Evra (-4)
GW38 - Mutch -> Sterling
Hapoy to hear other suggestions or if you think these are good or bad moves!
Mutch > Yaya and Baines > Alonso
Can you afford that?
maybe...I think ramsey will get rested gw 38 and city play west ham at home so could be worth it
-8 for aj with great fixtures is a bit much I think
Whats the reason behind Ramsey rested on GW 38?
Hull is a week away right?
top 4 wrapped up...you never know...it may be worth it as at this point in the season most want to take risks...but I guess the perentages say no
4th should be secured already. I think he'd still start though. Needs to build fitness
I think he will be rested/ protected. No point on risking our most important player.
No. Step away from the computer spud
🙂
Is being in the top 100 good for this point in the game?
Don't you hate it when bad transfer decisions previous GW sets you £0.1 back for doing smart moves this week 🙁
I lost 0.9m by waiting to do my transfers last week which I knew at the start of the week. So fay I've lost 0.3m this week so theoretically I could have had a $5.8m defender like Kos instead of Alonso this week. Not sure that that is an improvement so actualy I am ok 🙂 Sorry about your situation though
Every single team looks the same.
🙄
Yep. Terrible conditions for making up ground.
im already looking at GW 38 to try and sniff out a differential in my ML....
It's the last 2 games of the season and there's a DGW, inevitable really..
Considering Giaccherini myself 😉
Tired of seeing RMT's. Pointless.
Depressing isn't it? I don't remember it being much different this time last year.
FPL towers need to change the scoring to reward a wider pool of players - points for recovered balls etc Otherwise you end up where we are - only about 10 attacking players score well enough at any point in time to be worth owning.
Luckily FFS league in total represents only about 10% of the top 10k players and these forums no doubt even less so although you may not climb up or drop down the members or scout league we may still be pleasantly surprised how many non FFS players and dare I say it casual players can still be overtaken
with a rank of 43k I'm afraid it's only important if I can retain my ML title. But even in ML everyone owns Mata/Erik/Suarez/Rooney/Manonne/City def/Ramsey...
Yep and they all trading in Yaya this week for a hit 🙂
Im always surprised how my consistently template team still makes up and loses ground with OR. I've been stuck between 100-150 in the members league which shows my consistency with the members though.
Teams are particularly similar this week so perhaps it will be less OR difference.
Im not sure if I should go all out this week with the risk of losing ML and making it impossible to have a chance in GW 38 or play it safe"[eg Rooney(c)]
This might not be the case for long though with the rapid growth of this site..
Im getting on ALL the early bandwagons next season.
Every single one.
What's that? van Wolfswinkel just scored a great header on his debut? GET HIM IN!
Can't wait for that Danny Ings brace on opening day 😉
Who is he?
*takes out pen and note pad
I've already pencilled him in my squad for next year on the back of this comment. Cant get earlier to a bandwagon than that 😉
I have the same dilemna and thinking yes I will do it. I'm also considering Jones basesd on stats this week but will wait on Rafael fitness report
If a person finishes with an OR of 100k starting at gw 3 then what would be his approx. OR rank considering he started in gw 1 ??
Addition of 80-100 points minimum.
At least 100 points. The thing is you get a better team starting late outside the team value angle. It's still a good rank for missing 2 GWs.
I'm 14,445 in the GW1 league, but 28 places behind in the overall league at 14,483.
38?
I got pass all those from GW2 etc finally.
The guy could have finished inside 10k if he had started in gw 1. Still it is an added advantage because you know who are the form players.
Better to just start in GW1 and take -44 in GW2.
Would you prefer Wickham/Toure or Dzeko/Mata?
This is going to be part of Suarez, Eriksen & Shaw -> XXX, XXX & Evra
-8 taken. Now who to captain(c)
Yaya
Mata
Rooney
Aguero
Rooney.
If chasing, Yaya or Aguero.
Is 23pt behind chasing? When leader doesn't have Yaya or Kun(I do)
Imo, yes. I am 25 behind, and leader has already taken an 8 pt hit. (Which I'm probably doing myself)
If I get in Dzeko, I'm captaining him. If not, Yaya.
It also depends on how many differentials you have. Surely he has to bring in at least one of Yaya/Kun?
I dunno. So far my guess is he did Luk->Rooney for free. He has 3.8m ITB(!) and my guess is he will bring one of Kun(for Sturr) or Yaya/Silva for a Midf for -4.
That will bring lead down to 19 again.
So basically my main differentials are one of Yaya or Kun and Ramsey.
😕
I have Demi, he has Zaba. Not much in that one. What worries me is my defence. I had to sell JT, while he hung onto Azpil.
He also has AJ.
I'm worried.
I wouldn't be worried about AJ. He is also one of my own differentials, and I'm not very confident he will contribute with anything to reduce the gap.
Dzeko is probably the most tempting option for me, just not sure if I'll have the cojones to captain him as well.
That's pretty much where I'm at myself.
Rival has probably brought in Rooney, Mata and another doubler. Already has Yaya and Kun. Can't see myself catching him unless he fails miserably with the captaincy
I can narrow it down to Rooney or Aguero for you.
I've not decised between the 2, Rooney form at home pretty good. Aguero will probably get taken off second half if City build a lead, taking the edge off any explosion risk. So I'm leaning towards Rooney but could easily flip back
Are Koscielny or Sagna considered sure starters also for GW38?
Morning folks!
Should i do this....?
1FT and 0.6 ITB.
Thinking a -8 for
Suarez > Sturridge
Eriksen/Ramsey > Yaya
Coleman > Evra.
Im chasing a 6 point lead and i currently have...
Boruc (Davis)
Flanagan Coleman Azpil (Ward Mariappa)
Eriksen Mata(vc) Ramsey Nasri (Noone)
Suarez Aguero Rooney(C)
michael owen @themichaelowen 12h
I know it was a daft tackle and Alonso has won the CL before but I can't have that a player should be deprived of playing in one of the biggest games in the world of football for picking up two yellows. The punishment is too harsh. Only red cards should constitute a ban.
Agree?
Agreed.
I can see both sides.
I think bans should still be in place otherwise players would just do what they want.
Maybe even increase the ban to every 3 yellow cards after the group stages or something like that.
It would still employ a ban and aim at reducing silly fouling, and at the same time leave the responsibility on the player to make sure he doesn't miss the final
Fair point.
Disagree.
I wish Mark van Bommel was still around to drive the point home.
Yep agree yellow cards scrapped before final
Gtg for this dgw? Have taken 1 hit so far
Mannone*
zaba* evra* vlaar* (chester* kaboul)
mata* yaya* AJ* salah (barkley)
suarez aguero* rooney*
very templatey i know...15 points between four of us in my ML...gonna be tight
My crazy -12 (Considering Silva isn't fit)
Suarez + Eriksen + Silva + Distin OUT >>> Wickham + Yaya + Mata + Evra IN
Would give me:
Mannone
Kosc Azpi Evra
Ramsey Yaya Mata Nasri
Rooney Wickham Kun
xx Sterling Dann Dummett
Have enough to bring in Suarez in gw 38
I thought Silva was back in training?
If not, I support the bonanza.
Who you bringing Suarez in for? Do you need to do the Wickham transfer?
Yes to fund the other moves.
Rooney out Suarez in gw 38.
Go for it, My gut is telling me people have missed Wickham's points but he has the extra game with decent fixtures and the other 3 transfers all look good, only other option is Borini who despite having penalties and arguable being the better player of the 2 is not on the same run of form
Should I get a City or Utd defender for this DGW?
I don't like the Suarez to Sturridge part
I saw above Coleman > Evra (-4) is your other move and I think that is about neutral.
How much would you have to spend on a replacement for Coleman to fund the Erik > Yaya transfer?
12k OR now. What should be my realistic aim to finish this season ? 10k? or less than that something around 7-8k ?
