I would rather have Giroud this week, but with Austin's DGW next week I would hold

Newcastle is not a tough fixture.

Adrian?

Mane has the potential to be a cheap Walcott. Easily the best cut priced midfielder. I prefer Downing just a touch over Siggy also.

Is Punch out? Skrtel has to go with his fixtures and amount of £ he takes up. Do you have WC? Maybe there are other options than Boyd? I'll have a quick look

Do you not expect Bellerin to start? He played on Tues ofc, but then Chambers looked iffy vs West Ham (as usual) Maybe you're right, I own him as well and thought he could start but Chambers has had all week off so maybe that was Arsenes plan..

I'd do clichy/pva ---> ivanovic and hold austin for the double

It's a tough one, I agree. I have Foster and Myhill but no WC

Options are

1. Keep

2. Foster to Ospina and use Myhill to cover the LIV game and hope Foster isn't back for GW33

3. Foster to Fabianski, no doubles no blanks

4. Foster to Guzan

Thinking Ospina at the moment

I have Myhill and Foster and was considering Foster > Guzan this week. Thing is, Tim Sherwood teams aren't exactly good defensively, plus a blank from Aguero and we may profit from having Myhill.

Am seriously considering using my FT to do Sanchez > Walcott, believe it or not.

Letting Myhill play, will remove Foster on WC in gw34.

we have no idea what advocaat will do...just gotta wait and see

Agree. No problem unless you have the Panti/Foster combo

Agree.

Panti and PVA here to stay, for now at least.

Not a bad Moses replacement in my case

I'd rather have Phillips.

Ospina or Migs

You're only playing keeper or will you have a second?

Courtois

Ospina or Migs for me too, Ryan. I'd lean towards Mignolet if they get the double. Their defensive form cannot be disputed right now.

Agree with Nabil, between Ospina and Migs really
Looking at the fixtures between Gw34-38
Ospina (CHE, hul, SWA, mun/SUN, WBA)
Migs (wba/hul?, QPR, che, CRY/hul?, stk)

I'd place my money on Ospina tbh, it's tough. Pool's only tough match there is Chelsea away, while Gunners face them at the Emirates and also play United for the DGW. Also, if the Gw33 match is rescheduled on Gw34 or Gw37, the Pool DGW would appeal way more IMO, considering it would likely be against two ill offenses.

Depends how many outfield players you anticipate having. 2 attackers is almost essential and 3 attackers viable for both arsenal and Liverpool. I'm going Guzan on that basis plus he is cheaper

I really like Liverpools defence of late so I think its high time I invest. Mignolet it is, thanks guys

This leaves enough to swap Costa to Aguero if needed.

I would agree with your team. Although I'd have Lescott instead of Naughton to double up on WBA and possibly a better option than Downing as the Hammers seem a bit out of form.

lemme see

Ospina Myhill
Ivan Kos Skrtel Toby Dawson
Haz Silva Mane Hendo Boyd
Giroud Kane Costa

and a healthy 4.6 itb 😆

Nice side for sure,
I'd go with this

Migs
Ivan - Toby - Kosc
Silva - Hazmat - Coutinho - Mane
Aguero(c) - Costa - Kane

Bench - 4.0, Dawson, Schlupp, Phillips

Bench Mane Gw31, play Phillips, Costa out for Tekkers(c) Gw31, Tekkers to Sturridge(c) Gw32, Sturridge to Costa (c) Gw34

🙁 (WC owner)

Yup same. Delighted as a non-WC holder 😀 I was very nervous at the prospect of the overload DGW teams for GW34 but looks like that will not come to pass after all.

Never again saving my WC 'til the end 👿

Most of them are selling now 😛

N'Doye hattrick incoming

*cancels plan to double up CHE defense

As a Chelsea fan, I would probably rather Jelavic was fit,

3 TOT.. this is not DGW28 😉

gtg, captain pick is nice, but I'd probably just (c) Kane or Kun

Punty captain - bringing Mane in for Cazorla myself. But don't think I have the balls to captain him

got rid of him during winter WC. You're being too loyal

At least you will find out before DGW. Not that I expect many points from it anyway.

This would be nice alright. Reward the faithful 😆

I would hold Austin if i had him. Over those fixtures would expect similar scores. And i own Giroud.

no

Just realised this must have been asked 349 times already today then. I'll bore off...

sanchez should still play..but will he get more points than your potential replacement?

Certainly. Wenger doesn't rest his best players

50-50

oh come on why would he not? besides the usual argument that he needs a rest, after UCL..what else? he is not going to be dropped just becos he did not score or assists.

these posts are pure speculations and only serve to cause more speculations.

Like Doos was saying months back, the guy truly needs a break. I think he's playing on his reserves at the moment, though I highly doubt Arsene will bench him. No logic to back my argument up though

i would rest Ozil for Pool game next weekend

I think we should start a hot-topic on this, a prayer room for use WCers and how to act in moments of crisis

Hold till GW37. Go all out for last couple of weeks.

tbh even if u do not use a WC i would say u can comfortably get the players you want for dgw..so using the WC really depends on your current team.

it seems that there is no best week to use it since the dgw are so spread out. if u think a WC now will gain you immediate points then do it now..the value of a WC is diminishing every week.

Wait til after the blanks!! Get a strong 11 for 33 then max out 34. the plan still hasn't really changed.

Reply fail

*tumbleweeds*

I'll get my coat

WC 😉

seriously, Caz to Mane. You know you want to

Caz, but I would hold the transfer if I were you.

I'd save, mate.

jus save

but i am doing Sanchez to Mane because i got 2 FT and for me to get Ivan + Terry

(i have Cazo)

Yeah, I'd hold. Think Mane will outscore Caz but you'll survive, makes dropping them at the blank a little easier.

If anyone, Cazorla. Though it's tough considering he has penois, also considering Toons lackluster and OoP backline they'll roll with this week. He's playing so deep and making plays from half-court though, Mane is playing up top making runs in the box and shooting at will. I'd highly consider it tbh, even though it's always risky taking a pen-taker out.

Then again, those 2 FT's could really do you some good next week to make a more drastic change to your squad. Your backline is great though, and so is your midfield. Now as I'm typing this I realize you have triple Arsnal attack, I think yes one of Sanchez or caz has to go. My money's on Cazorla

Costa for sure

Confession time! I have no Chelsea players, looking at Walcott -> Oscar.

Costa.

1 def, 1 mid, 1 forward. Perfect spread in my opinion.

Think Costa now. With the Ars moving makes it easier

Will go with Terry or only 2 Chelsea. Costa takes a striker spot and disturb other part of team.

Right, Costa if you can afford him. I'm wary of dropping Kun for him and losing 0.6m though.

thanks everybody. guess i will go for costa then!
