After assessing the Defence and Midfield numbers over the last four matches, we turn our attentions to up front this evening. A number of double Gameweek options arrive under analysis, including Everton, City and Newcastle’s main men, whilst we also compare Arsenal and United’s strikers and doff our cap to Tottenham’s man of the moment after a series of scintillating displays.
B apart from losing Kane for GW35
A
Would rather have Payet than Ozil given that you already have Sanchez who looks a more explosive TC anyway.
I'm tempted to say B but I would consider saving the Erikson > Ozil move for GW33. As I said below Watford's defence shouldn't let too much in, but Liverpool have a tendency to be leaky. I've never owned Erikson and probably never will tho.
I guess I just convinced myself that A is better.I think Payet for CPL will be great, but I already have him and 100% plan to drop him on WC33 until GW36 when I'll get him back.
Hmmmm. Another option is Kompany & Eriksen -> Kos & Payet and then WC next week.
You think Gabriel is nailed? I'm not so sure.I like that option. I honestly think Gabriel is a gamble, only Wenger himself will know how much he'll play. He might get the vast majority of the minutes but I could easily see Mert getting a game here or there.
Hey guys, what do you think of this WC team for GW34?
Elliot Robles
Bellerin Reid Sakho Simpson Rojo
Payet Ozil Sanchez Mahrez Lanzini
Lukaku Aguero KaneLooks good. Perhaps Firmino/Coutinho over Payet given you have Lanzini? One less blanket in 35 also.
I think Payet can get more points than Firmino/Coutinho from now until end of season and I can use 2FT to get 11 players out in GW35.
What do you think?I really don't think so. Liverpool have a lot of good fixtures for attacking returns, West Ham face Leicester (best defence in the league), Watford (solid defence), blank, wba (should be goals), Swansea (definitely goalsss), United (keep it tight).
I tend to agree. Whatcha reckon about my A or B at the top?
still don't know if I want to WC 33 or 36...the Everton DGW in 33 beckons me for a TC on Lukakakakakaka
Bench one
a. vvd
b. toby
c. morgan
B
How would you get Alexis?
1. Ozil -> Alexis,
Fuchs -> Simpson
Bolasie -> Antonio (no GW 33 punt)
2. Ozil -> Alexis
Fuchs -> Simpson
Coutinho -> Lallana
3. Bellerin -> Simpson
Mahrez -> Alexis
Kane -> Martial
4. Same as no 3) but do the Alexis Martial (-4) on GW 34
so I can monitor Alexis and play Kane instead of Martial for the next 2.or 5) Don't get Alexis and stick with Ozil Bellerin Mahrez instead 😉
This!
Hows the team looking mate? im almost settled i think 🙂
A. Do i keep Mahrez? >> Lanzini in 36?
B. Or do i punt on Bolasie for 33/34 then get Lanzini in for 36
Why am i so attached to Mahrez :/
Hi Everyone. Been away - can anyone give me the links to the best GW33 wild card hot topics please? Can only see the latest ones in the hot topics section. Thank you.
Please criticise.
Elliot-Hennessey
Rojo-Clyne-Gabriel-Simpson-Morgan
Sanchez-Silva-Firmino-Mahrez-Lennon
Aguero-Kane-LukakuWC team?
With 2 Leicester DEF?no WC
Ohh.. nice then.
but Silva lost some form recently..
So the RMT tool has Vardy ahead of Kane over the next 4 gameweeks.
Vardy (SOT, sun, WHU, SWA)
Kane (liv, MUN, sto, WBA)
Both on pens, both nailed.
Kane has the form, Vardy has the fixtures.
Losing Kane means Ozil, Firmino & Lukaku for the DGW. Losing Vardy means only 2 of those 3.
Time to roll the Kane-less dice?
Form over fixtures
Don't think rmt adjusts for role changes or major tactical shifts - vardy is playing a different role now, and they have shifted strategy and are happy to squeeze out 1-0 wins or draws
Leicester is more focus on defense, contented to drag out boring matches, while Spurs hasn't lessen in their attacks.
So, next season
Last place in premier league - 125 million
UCL winners - 90 million
Wow!
You're talking Pounds not Euros?
Vardy & Kane berth confirmed.
take Sturridge or Rooney to Euro 2016?Both Shirley?
select and bench Rooney.. does Roy have balls to do it?
Take a look at @RiseOfTheKlopp's Tweet: https://twitter.com/RiseOfTheKlopp/status/714552191026077696?s=09
Gotze to Liverpool? Ohhhhhhhfor 20M.. world class.. Pep could block the deal thou..
How would he do that?
for 20M, that's a real bargain.
Which one do you prefer for a WC team;
A) Mignolet - Sagna - Ighalo
B) Cech - Toby - Rashford
Note that other GK is DDG and Toby is already in my team and have abig TV to lose, should I ship him. But at this moment in time, points are more important than TV.Many have the same problem and balancing DGW's is not easy. For me more difficult as I have no WC.
The principals remain the same though.
Everton 3 DGW's and fair fixtures but miss GW35.
Arsenal juicy fixtures I DGW and bad GW37
Man U great GW34 fixtures and No GW35.
Chelsea no DGW34 but good GW35.
Liverpool fair fixtures 2DGW and no fixture gap
Cannot ignore Kane and Mahrez.
What do you get from that?
3 Arsenal until GW37 Bench 2 for that week and get back GW38.
3 Everton GW33 and discard 1 GW35
1 Pool until GW35 at least and swap Everton for Pool GW35
At least 1 W Ham and 1 Man U and swap one for Chelsea GW35
This may leave only 10 players for GW35 and up to you if you want a hit for the week.
What a mouthfull!
A with another Arsenal defender?
England National Team - Euros 2016 Squad
----------------------
"Each national team has to submit a squad of 23 players, three of whom must be goalkeepers, at least ten days before the opening match of the tournament"
I assume following players to be selected if not injured
Goalies: Hart, Forster, Heaton (place holder)
RBs: Clyne, Walker
CBs: Cahill, Smalling, Jagielka, Stones
LBs: Rose, Bertrand
Mids: Henderson, Milner, Alli, Dier, Barkley
Strikers: Kane, Vardy
1 month PL left and nothing much to analyze for Roy and 5 spots to fill..
who could be selected for the remaining 5 spots among Rooney, Sturridge, Welbeck, Walcott, Drinkwater, Sterling, Phil Jones, Gibbs, Lallana & Ox?Lallana and Welbeck should be IN imo
thought so..
I'd expect Sterling, Walcott and Lallana to walk into that squad with the final two spots for a CB and a striker.
tight.. good for England
good for FPL and Sturridge owners.. if he fights to stay fit to reach Euro's
Walcott, Ox, Sterling and Gibbs don't deserve a place!
And I'd go Drinkwater over Henderson, given the performance they have been showing this season.
Rooney should be IN, mainly due to his experience and his ability to play both up front and in MID.Henderson won't be dropped.. kind of regular for Roy..
Sturridge OUT?Yep unfortunately though, since Henderson has been on the decline throughout the season. Maybe because of his heel problem.
Sturridge is a bargain, all depends on his mood.
Sometimes he is so passive in the match that you just want him out, as in the last 2 match for LFC, like he don;t want to play. But on the other hand, we cannot doubt his outstanding goalscoring ability.Roy's fav formation.. 4-5-1 or 4-4-2?
if 4-5-1.. no point in taking Mr.Glass Legs along with Rooney as he has two other world class strikers
Walcott over Welbeck for winger spot?
England played 4-3-1-2 against Germany
odd game or that's his fav?
Don't know much tbh
Eliott or Mignolet? I could use the saved cash. Do you think NewC have tightened?
MIgs all the way.
Can't see more than 4pts for Elliot in his DGWI can see an average of 6 for both.
Nasri
Please DiscussIs there anything to discuss here?
Nasri: nothing to discuss - has blue hair, doesn't play football
not a chance
Rotation
back to full training.. but no thanks
We can only have a maximum of 3 blank GW35 attackers. Who would they be for you?
If I go with all 3 (541 formation) I'd choose: Lukaku, Payet, Ighalo
Lukaku, Payet and Smalling/Rojo.
Lukaku and Payet seems standard.
Seems to be a trade off between Rojo/Reid vs Ighalo/MartialDeeney / lukaku/ Payet for me
Not going with Mitrovic anymore?
Still considering my options.
Wickam -> Defoe is another possibilityThat could be a good one too, but it is 1 more transfer needed
We have to use 2FT's somewhere in GW35. Could very well be up front
Deeney on pens, 2 dgws, scores away goals, has nice fixtures around the dgws as well (Villa/sunderland) and hes cheaper than mitrovic
Mitrovic has a game in GW33. Thats a massive advantage depending on how you set up a team.
Lukaku, Payet certainly. If I had a third, it'd probably be Lingard.
Lingard! Really? Surely you want your 3 benched players to be well worth keeping beyond GW35 no?
I could say the same about Ighalo. I'd rather bench a Cresswell/Smalling/Jagielka.
You can't say the same about Ighalo. Look how many points he has
Not to mention that he's completely nailed on as well. His stats are pretty reasonable too
Anyone else thinking that using BB on Elliot, couple of 4-something defenders and Bolasie/Lennon/Lanzini is not worth it?
Use TC in 34 and get a better bench out in 37 with Aguero funds?But how many DGWers can you get in both DGW's?
I can get 9 in 34, plus Kane and Mahrez, and then 15 in 37.
Other way round will be 14 in 34 and 11 in 37 (assuming no injuries between 34-37).No hits presumably?
The plan works for you if you can get 9 in GW34. Doesn't work for everyone.No hit assuming Hart is back fit. I have a 32 problem given I have Hart and Butland, which is annoying as I really don't want to spend my FT on a goalie.
Other issue is I will be light in 33 as will just have Lukaku, and maybe Bolasie if I choose not to get a LIV mid.
The ting is you want Arsenal Man U Everton Spurs in GW38. Spurs Arsenal no DGW37. So you will Bench boost maybe 3 Arsenal against Man City GW37. pluss's and minus's really IMO
If WC in 36 will then have 2FTs for 38 to bring back Arsenal players.
Absolute.
by GW38 many places will be filled.
This is what I'm thinking. Lose Aguero, spread the money, bench boost, and pray that Aguero doesn't outscore that lot anyway.
MCI v ARS in 37 so hopefully Aguero won't do much damage. 36 and 38 are trips to sot and swa.
Plus there's a possibility of some of these teams having nothing to play for in wk38.
i'm in a similar situation.
Morning all. Which do you prefer on WC33?
A) Gabriel + Barkley
B) Bellerin + Bolasie
CheersA
B by a big margin for me
B for me. Easily.
B easy
B for sure
B and not even close. Maybe Bellerin Lennon
B
Cheers all 🙂
Hey Poch, thoughts on below?
Which do you prefer?
A
-Mignolet 32 and onwards
-2 33 DGWers (Lukaku + Jagielka)
-Mahrez and Alli for 33 and 35
-10 34 DGWers + Mahrez/Alli
-8 point hit
-Jags for 34
B
-Mignolet 32 and onwards
-3 33 DGWers (Lukaku + Jags + Bolasie)
-No Mahrez for 33 and 35 (Just Alli). Long/Okazaki punt in 35
-11 34 DGWers
-12 point hit
-Jags for 34
C
-Mignolet 32 and onwards
-2 33 DGWers (Lukaku + Bolasie)
-No Mahrez for 33 and 35. Play Targett/Williams in 35.
-11 34 DGWers
-8 point hit
-Sakho for 34
D (Safe)
-Eliott 32 and onwards
-1 33 DGWers (Lukaku)
-Mahrez and Alli for 33 and 35
-10 34 DGWers + Mahrez/Alli
-4 point hit
-Sakho for 34Plz simplify
Way too complexAs simplified as can get this. I have to consider all these factors.
I like D
thoughts on my query below?
Probably A.
A - with Sakho instead of Jags in for 34
Probably D.
Is Clichy nailed now?
What's the issue with Kolarov?
Which City DEF is the most nailed?
Will Mangala get his place now, with Kompany out?I wouldn't go there Mauritius.
I actually have Toby, who I wanted to keep.
But seeing City fixtures, I can see City fixtures resulting to higher points than Toby.
Issue is he's a terrible defender. If Mangala can't do it now they may as well sell him.
Who to get IN? Mangala or Clichy?
Sagna will be surely rotated with Zabaleta.Mangala if Kompany is definitely out.
Remove both City and Toby on WC
Replace by whom?
Already got Bellerin, Jagielka, Olsson, Sakho/Flanno.. with Cech and DDG at the back.Rojo and Dann look good punts, provided you only go 6 players from MAnutd/WHm/EVE/Pal
I wouldn't touch any Palace DEF tbh. Bolasie is more than enough.
Getting Rojo will alter my strategy, should get a DEF playing GW35.
Otamendi if fit, else Mangala preferred over Demichelis imo
WHich will you love of these for upcoming GW?
1) Courtois (avl) + Williams (sto)
2) Hennessey (whm) + Ivanovic (avl)
3) Cech (WAT) + Williams (sto)1
Not 2.
Ivanovic not worth a punt?
Also I can go Cech + Ivano but would have to miss out on Payet vs CPL....Thinki its worth going w/o Payet vs CPL for next GW?
If just for a punt this GW, 1
Not much difference between 1 & 3
Still Although have Bellerin, Still trust which defence more? Ars or Che?
Double up on Arsenal probably, due to better fixtures in the future. Chances of Watford scoring away are almost same as Villa scoring at home.
Chelsea def a must against villa
Cech lookin good for upcoming gameweeks3
Latest version. What are peoples thoughts on;
1) Double expensive Arse defence
2) Double Palace defence (legacy issue - I have been carrying Ward and Hennessey for a while)
3) Lanzini as the 5th mid
4) Keeping Kane and Mahrez is a definite for me - but Huth is new to this WC draft. Good idea?
Mig, Hennessey
Bellerin, Kosc, Ward, Sakho, Huth
Sanchez, Payet, Coutinho, Lanzini, Mahrez
Luk, Kane, KunRather go Kosc-->Rojo and Sakho-->Clyne
4 is good
Thoughts above?Yeah, but that leaves me short in 35, unless I can carry a FT in 34 (thinking of WC in 32)
Carry FT in GW 34...its worth even hit
I'm trying to plan for no hits, knowing that I will have to take one at some stage with injuries/rotation. If I plan for 1, then I'm sure I'll need more!
ManU player required imo
Who comes out GW35?
If no injuries, Ward for Morgan
Palace def not strong .. wouldn't do 2
1 and 4 looks goodI want Robles for Hennessey but the team above has me at 0.0 ITB. Any suggestions for straight swaps for either?
13 doubles or you are throwing away your bench boost on three single outfield players.
BB in 34 with 12 DGW + 3 SGW
Need help, in a draft league.
Wildcarding ahead of gw32
Migs Cech
Otamendi clichy monreal jags klose
Lallana mata Sanchez silva Antonio
Defoe ighalo Kane
Any suggestions?
Klose or Olsson?
Wickham instead of Defoe?
Get rojo?
Get Robles or stick?
Get bolasie?
Any advice on current team and how to improve would be appreciatedDawson. Nailed. HUGE goal threat. Pulis. One good fixture, one terrible fixture.
Or
Rojo. Far from nailed with returning wing backs. Often dragged around that dangerous hour mark. Invisible goal threat. Two truly brilliant fixtures.
I'm still on Dawson. Every time I waver I tell myself he has a game in 35.
Even if it's shocking...Also not seen anyone on foster. Away to arsenal and spurs
Just think of the save points...I'd rather have a Newcastle defender under Rafa tbh
+1
i haven't been on this for a week now as theirs been no footy, just wondering anyone have an idea of what to wildcard to this week? or should i keep it to gw 33
There are some ideas floating around, take a look at Ryan's hot topic for inspiration
Can you link it the hot topic? I can't find it...
Half way down on the hot topics form ryan
look at the comments bar on the right hand side - there is a tab there
THANKS guys!!
Anyone on WC GW32, TC GW33 and BB GW 34 ??
Yes, loads of people
Very tempted to do this. Not sure I'm sold on the GW33 BB34 TC37 strategy, rather your plan or alternatively WC33 TC34 BB37
currently thinking TC 33, WC 34 (sadly no BB)
What to do with this lot?
Forster Eliot
Kosc Dier Jags Moreno Simpson
Silva Mahrez Payet Alli Siggy
Kun Kane Vardy
.9 itb 2 FTIs Gabriel nailed?
Good question! 🙂
I don't have the answer though
Points prediction?
Mignolet - TOT SOT bou EVE NEW
Eliott - nor sot SWA MCI liv
8 years, 3 months agoBest route here?
B) loses Kane but it does get Ozil (who i'd likely TC). Also is Gabriel less nailed than Sakho/Rojo?
A)
GW32: Kompany & Eriksen -> Gabriel & Payet
GW33: Vardy -> Lukaku
GW34: Arnie -> Firmino
B)
GW32: Eriksen -> Ozil
GW33: Kane -> Lukaku
GW34: Kompany & Arnie -> Sakho/Rojo & Firmino
Hennessey, Elliot
Kompany, Bellerin, JEvans, Wolly, Simpson
