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.
Not sure if this has been posted, but update on Rooney
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/03/28/wayne-rooney-targets-mid-april-return-after-it-emerges-he-played/
Villa is first game of DGW, so it represents a risk. It depends on whether you think
a) He goes straight back into the team (I do) and
b) whether you think he takes Rashford's spot (I do)
You could say LvG would be mad to drop Rsahford but this is a guy who swaps his full backs mid game for no apparent reason and continues to play Fellaini (especially as a holding mid over Schneiderlin)
He's a mad as a box of frogs
With all the defensive issues Rooney at CB will be in LvGs mind
Hope everyone had a great easter..
I have 1 FT, but i'm going to wildcard this week.. does this mean I will have 2 FT for GW33?
Thanks
No...sadly not. 🙁
Damn.
Thanks anyway!
DGW team is very difficult to make when team value is 101.9. I guess people were wrong in saying that TV this season is not that relevant.
I have a low TV too but with the options available you can get a decent team out
Drop Aguero and all your troubles disappear..........hopefully.
Couple of questions..
Is robles and elliott the preferred wildcard keeper pair here?
And who would you rather have in wildcard team...
Mahrez with his sgws
Barkley with his dgws (and hit needed for gw35)No. Quite a few are shifting to Cech/Robles.
Mahrez. (no brainer 😉 )
Robles and Elliot here
Double up with Bell and Monreal
Morning all!
Ryan's full DGW players for 33-34 and 37 is so tempting even though it's unlikely it would work out so well.
Anyone closer to deciding what they're going for?
33 looks definite for most but what about an actual team? Only a couple I know I definitely want.
What is your early thoughts about third striker spot in gw33 wildcard? Martial or Welbeck worth a try?
Martial for me, those fixtures are hard too ignore, plus another double in 37.
Bench in 35You going to play gw35 with one striker?
Yeah, going in to 35 with 10 and carrying the FT.
Not massively fussed tbh - it's the best I can do without having to take a hit later down the line for max poss DGW players in 37.
Have been planning to death and this seems the most sensible approach for my team
I'd like Welbeck or Martial/Rashford but not sure how much I trust them.
I really wish I knew what I was doing at this point! 🙂
It will look something like this, Andy:
Cech/Robles
Reid, Rojo, Janmaat, Sakho, Bellerin,
Mahrez, Ozil, Llalana/Firmino/Coutinho, Payet, Lanzini/Barclay/Milner
Kane, Aguero/Welbeck, Lukaku
As you can see, there are a couple of midfield spots and one attacker still to be decided.
Almost there 😛Only a few 🙂
I really want Sanchez but for no particular reason - everything says that Ozil is the better pick.I can't work out how to get Sanchez in my team without bombing it, so I'm spreading the money elsewhere and not getting him.
It's the knowledge of past explosions. IF he pulls a couple of double digit hauls out of thin air his 11% ownership are going to fly up the rankings
This is an excellent structure for GW32 wild card team. No sure about Janmaat though - maybe just go with Leicester defender?
Yes-I'm seriously considering keeping Huth.
I am in the process of making that decision. I believe i will only keep 2 SGW players. Mahrez and Huth. (Maybe even ship for Simpson to save some cash)
I have an issue with CPL players, only Bolasie is worth considering in my opinion.
I am at the moment on this:
Elliot / Mignolet
Cresswell / Bellerin / Simpson (Huth) / IVANOVIC (just because avl) seems wrong to ship / 5.3 defender
Ozil / Sanchez / Mahrez / payet / Barkley
Agu / Lukaku / DEENEY?!
Leaves me with 1.4 itb to get LIV midfielder for gw 34
13 DGWers and 2 SGWers (Mahrez & Kane)
Currently tinkering with the idea of Wickham -> Ighalo ready for DGW34. Not too keen on having too many Palace players for GW34. Getting rid of two should be a priority.
Only 2 EVE/CPL for their DGW to field my ideal gw34 team.. is this enough coverage? (Lukaku & Coleman)
I think Lukaku and another should be sufficient enough.
I am all set on a GW 33 WC and I will have 4 , tops 5 DGW 33 players. Barkley does not inspire me and I do not trust in Wickham either. On the other hand Robles and Dann will be in my team. Have to decide if Funes Mori is worth the risk . He is a BAP magnet and has more goal threat than Dann imo. Funes Mori worth the risk?
Btw , the 4 DGW 33 player 'nailed' in my team are : Bolasie , Dann , Robles and Kaku
Dann is an interesting one - I'm not convinced I want that much tied up in a Palace defender,
IF I was bringing in a Palace defender, it would be Ward - fine for the doubles + BB, lives on the bench for the remainder.I want Azpi for GW 35 . I have lined up Dann > Azpi. So does not matter if I buy Dann or Ward tbh
What's your triple captain strategy?
Those Mitrovic stats are really promising. Not sure why he isn't more in wildcard drafts.
Headed attempts = low quality shots
Closer range tho.
See the below table 🙂
Second one is Page Not Found btw
One sec. Check now?
Perfect 🙂 I like the global filter setting on these 🙂
Me too. My first 6-7 tables had fixed filters , then I learnt from Jaffa that global filters are more user-friendly.
Nice comparison, but sort team stats by headed shots conceded in last four and look at his fixtures. Could be a goal or two imminent in one of his games
Robles Elliot
Sakhalin Dawson Bellers clyne Smalling
Payet alli shelvey Sanchez Ozil
Kun Lukaku Martial
Gives 14 DGW in 34
10 starters in 35
7 DGW in 37
Feel free to copySome odd choices in that team. Shelvey and Martial aren't worth having. Clyne could be the much cheaper Sakho. No Mahrez or Kane is asking for trouble.
Rating: 3/10.
I think Sakhalin is Sakho 😉
Loses another mark for poor spelling then 😉
Due to being new to all this I've duly gone and p***ed all my chips and wildcards up the wall before now. However I'm currently at 19K and don't want to blow this massively so I have devised a plan based on taking necessary hits. The main question here is is taking a cumulative -24 hit between now and the end of the season worth it or not? This gives me two complete DGW 11's, Bolasie and Lukaku in 33 and a full GW35 11, albeit in 5-4-1.
ThanksDgws are there for hits
You just have to transfer in players that are certain to play both games and those -4 become -2Declaring that hit now takes you down to 42K, are you comfortable with that? I'd bet you could compromise down to a 12 or 16 point hit and be just as strong.
No right answer mate. Every hit is just a gamble of points. Well done on a good first season
Nanu nanu
Nanu nanu
You need to decide if each individual hit is worth the -4. Some probably are and some probably aren't. What are your planned transfers this week?
Because I couldn't decide on a transfer last week I'm just doing Kompany - Bellerin atm. Real changes begin GW33.
Just take it week by week. Also go with your gut because some people on here will just blindly tell you your decisions are wrong if it isn't exactly what they're doing.
Most of the time if I'm making an unusual transfer I don't even mention it on here. Save myself from the abuse 😀Wimp, stand up and be counted 😉
Haha. We can't all post dissertations. Bloody students 😉
😀
Absolutely. Just have to make sure you get the right players in for those hits but they are always worthwhile before a dgw.
Good luck. I like your attitude to the game.Thanks martial and Gabriel are my only real risks away from the 'template' as such but feel players like Firmino, Payet and Lukaku are key!
No one will have an answer to that question. Chips are new to all of us as well. Who knows how it comes out.
Depends on your team, who you ship, bring in etc.Thanks the only risky player I think I'm bringing in is Gabriel but he is looking more and more of an assured starter over the last few weeks.
TC Options, Feel free to give me you thoughts...
Lukaku - GW33
Ozil/Aguero - GW34
What do people think is the best ...
Lukaku GW33 BB GW 34 if possible m8
From those 2/3 I would say Lukaku
But you never know with AgueroLuka in 33 or 37
33 means a WC in 32 tho
Ozil in GW34 if you aren't using BB that week.
33 WC
34 BB
35 10 Players
36 BAU
37 7 DGW + 3FT
38 BAU
Robles Elliot
Bellerin Monreal Smalling Sakho Simpson
Payet Ozil Coutinho Mahrez Alli
Aguero Lukaku Martial
1.1 left ITBAny thoughts on this WC?
3FT?
plan looks decent.Rolling FTs
Tho it's a type I will be taking one of the FTs in 36 for 37 🙂I like the team but have some concerns like
1) Ozil's form has dipped.
2) Return of Tim Howard
3) Double Arsenal Defense
4) Coutinho Vs Firmino is quite a difficult call, but I like your Coutinho Call
Maybe take a punt on Sturridge instead of CoutinhoGibbs might come into play
Cheers, some good points - I'll have a think
Best one week punts ?
Ivanovic
This ^
Already got Azpi... and only 0.4 ITB so can't upgrade
Cesc seems to be on fire lately..
What's your current team?
Current team is :
Hart - Hennesey
Toby - Kos - Azpi - Fuchs - Williams
Ozil - Arnautovic - Mahrez - Siggy - Alli
Aguero - Kane - Vardy
2 FT and 0.1 ITB... already plan on doing Hart -> Courtois which will give me 0.4 ITB...Siggy to Antonio?
Fabs, Willian, Ivan
aguero
How does this look for somebody planning a GW36 WC with no hits.. May take a hit in 34 or 35 but not sure..
Current squad for GW32..
Fabianski (Hennessey)
Bellerin - Simpson - Cresswell (VVD) (Williams)
Ozil - Sanchez - Mahrez - Arnie (Alli)
Kane - Aguero - Vardy
GW33.. 2FT Kane + Arnie -> Lukaku + Barkley. Gives 3 DGWers (Lukaku, Barkley, Hennessey)
GW34.. 1FT Williams -> Rojo. Gives 9 DGWers + Mahrez + Vardy
GW35.. 1FT Lukaku -> Kane, giving 11 as below..
Fabianski
Simpson - Bellerin - VVD
Ozil - Sanchez - Mahrez - Alli
Kane - Vardy - Aguero
Then WC in 36 for Bench Boost 37
How does that seem? I know Hennessey isn't an ideal DGW keeper but other than that it gets me full teams out with no hits at allGoing Barkley over Firmino? I ask because I'm planning a GW36 WC too and can't decide between those 2!
Only going Barkley as he gives me the extra game.. Hadn't thought about it more than that on whether it's worth it or not!
If you're wildcarding in 36 then you'll get 4 games out of whichever one you go for really, that's how I'm looking at it:
Barkley (wat, cry, SOU, liv)
vs
Firmino (STK, bou, EVE, NEW)
I have nothing to lose this season...so I am thinking of taking Punts now which I enjoy...
Kane to Welbeck...a decent Punt?Yeah
Thanks! 🙂
Kane > DS is a GREAT punt 😉
nah..I prefer Liverpool Midfielders over him
Consider Martail / United assets too
If really nothing to lose, Welbeck and Martial?The Thing is...United only plays well against Big Teams and I already have Aguero and Lukaku and plan to do WC on GW36...then I will take many punts...right now just using FTs to add some DGW Players
They do have Villa though. Surely even United can put a few past em.
Chaps....any views on this team for gw33 wildcard and gw34 bench boost?.....thanks
Ddg Elliott
Smalling koscielny Reid sakho Simpson
Sanchez mahrez Ozil coutinho Antonio
Kun lukaku Deeney
Comments appreciated....thanksThis is going to sound negative...
Antonia playing as a RB
Coutinho unlikely to start both games as Dortmund game is around then too.
DDG enough cover, smalling to expensive
wrt Deeny: Mitrovic better stats and has a GW35Only 1 EVR? No Kane?
Rojo as Utd defender.
Robles for DDG.
Deeney - so little form.
No Payet?
Sanchez - is he worth it at his price for so little form?
Worrying times. 2/10.
DDG to migs.
Antonio to Payet.
Deeney to Kane.
Downgrade Sanchez if you must IMOJeez fellas.....thanks for the comments ....back to the drawing board!
More I look at it the more I feel
Elliot + Robles + double Ars + 1 Utd defence is the way forwardElliot Robles
Monreal Bells Smalling X XI think Gibbs will get more game time when DGWs are played.
Bellerin and Gabriel is cost effective, Gabby is nailed currently.
Gabby is not nailed.
But yes. Double Arsenal is the way forward. But I can't help but think you need a Liverpool defender. Their defence is where it is atover the last 7 games (when he took merte place in the team) he has missed 1 game, same as monreal over the last 7 games so i would say he is as nailed as monreal on current form.
But I think there is greater chance of Mert displacing Gabriel than Gibbs over Monreal.
Sakho at 4.7 is a steal
My WC back line:
Robles Elliot
Bells Monreal Smalling Sakho SimpsonNice and diverse may i add 😉
Would you guys prefer either. Kos or Smalling?
A/ Hart/Robles. Sakho. Bellerin. KOSCIELNY
B/ Hart/Robles. Sakho. Bellerin. SMALLING.
Cheersif money is no issue then probably smalling so you have united cover.
Kos. No blank and great fixtures gw33-36
Koscienly for me
Double Arsenal over a man Utd cover.
Interesting
Can't help but feel I'd need some Man Utd somewhere.
Perhaps take a hit to get DDG in?
Cheers lads
(I'm in the WC36 camp)Cover =/= points
A
Smalling..
Oooh.
Not so clear cut now.Smalling is a good investment with 2 DGWs..for 1 blank you can easily bench him
My latest gw33 wildcard draft. Problem is that if Sanchez is worth his price tag and are Watford players motivated anymore.
- 1 sgw player
- gw35 plan Deeney & Barkley for Willian and Defoe and playing with 10
Robles - Elliot
Smalling - Rojo - Belle - Sakho - Simpson
Özil - Sanchez - Barkley - Payet - Firmino
Lukaku - Deeney - AgueroI would pick Mitrovic instead of Deeney
Also not pick Ozil because of his recent form...
Nailed in my team.
Not hugely convinced by Rojo or Sanchez or Deeney
I'd downgrade Sanchez
Decent 35 plan thoWho would you go with instead of Sanchez?
Depends really on the rest of your team - I.E. the team above, I'd downgrade Sanchez and look to upgrade Deeney
I like the team but I cannot fathom why one will keep Simpson as their ONLY SGW player! Bold.
I would personally suggest , Barkley > Bolasie and Simpson > Ward/Delaney 🙂Also I prefer Ighalo WAY more than Deeney
Have you seen Crystal Palace's Fixtures? 😯
GW 33 - NOR EVE
GW 34 is a drag but I want AT least 2 for DGW 33 personally
Yes 🙂okay
Thanks. Simpson is great for 4.0 I like Leicester fixtures and want to save money for Costa
Aguero > Costa easy peasy?
Hmmmm....didn't even consider that.
Aguero has no DGW in 37. So dead to me after GW 35
Lukaku. Sturridge. Costa.
For the last few GW's. Including the DGW37
Unsure with regards to rojo. Barkley. Deeney.
Looks like Sanchez is messing up your team a little. Just go without and get better quality playersThanks WTH
Please rate my GW32 wildcard team:
Robles Elliot
Smalling Bellerin Dann Janmaat Flanagan
Sanchez Firmino Payet Ozil Barkley
Kane Lukaku RashfordThe only issue I have with a 32 WC is I feel it's too early for some players, i.e. Eve playing United.
Looks alright tho
Flanagan nailed? Think might be switched with Moreno to accommodate the hectic fixtures
Keepers are OK 🙂
Do not like Janmaat and Flanagan one bit. Sakho and Cathcart better options imo
Barkley - No. Bolasie better choice imo
Rashford is an OK punt
Overall - 6/10
Is Robles nailed on?
100% ye
For How Long?
That's my worry
IMO , till GW 37
Howard will play last match I think
Yes
Pick 2:
Firmino,
Coutinho,
PayetA and C
CP
FP
Interestingly enough I currently have Firmino and Coutinho trying to cover Payet with Lanzini.
Just want the players with the most points...so tough
Bolasie TC?
Prefer Luka same game week
Stahp the MADNESS
I might captain him in GW 33 tho...if Palace beat West Ham that is
You won't
One final question before I craft my team.....
If u could only include one of these in a wildcard team who would it be...
Barkley with his dgws
Mahrez with his sgws
ThanksI've gone Mahrez because I need cover in 35 to get 10
Mahrez out of those.
I like Bolasie a lot more tho 🙂He's coming in for me in 33. Then straight back out again for Firmino
He will go out for Khazri/Oscar for me
in GW 35
Sounds good to me. I will be likely doing the same when I wildcard in 36
Mahrez.
Easily out score Barkley!
If you gave a different DGW option. I'd might plump for the DGW player. But Mahrez is my choice over BarkleyWhat about mahrez
Or
Bolasie?
CheersBolasie for 33. But if want him straight back out again for 34
Man City may have a DGW but both games are away from home which means very few goals if any
yet we all have aguero
Hart(Mangala at a stretch) and Aguero look like the best options to me
It's really weird isn't it - they have a DGW, yet we're only talking about Kun - no other assets
Hence having 1 city player in team enough imo
Hart and kun for me
Man Utd have the best DGW by a country mile - 2 Home games
Aston Villa - The worse team in the PL
Crystal Palace - The team with the worse recent form
DDG - Mata - Rashford ???
DDG - Rojo - Martial
Just seen Arsenals fixtures... They're pretty tasty also
It's a toss between having bel and kos. Or bell and smalling for me.
Can't decide
DDG/Smalling or nothing.
£££
Going with Rojo & Mata only for GW34
Nice punt on Mata, not seen many with him.
Actually my first preference is Martial, but don't have space for him in my front 3. Rooney might return by GW34 so cannot account for Rashford's game time. Mata is on set pieces I assume so he might get something atleast in the 2 games.
Smalling and Martial
Well I think I'm done for my WC 33
So back to GW32 planning
Butland > Courtois
Waste the other transfer or Toby > Bellerin
Morning Lads and Lassies - Please RMT
Had taken Kun out but now back in for WC GW 32....
WC GW 32
TC Lukaku GW 33
Bench Boost GW 34
DDG CECH
ROJO GABRIEL JAGIELKA SAKHO MCAULEY
OZIL FIRMINHO PAYET LENNON Mahrez
AGUERO LUKAKU Kane
3 DGW Everton for GW 33
13 DGW for GW 34 with bench boost
Had to ditch Bellerin - is Gabriel nailed on?Keepers so expensive - good for doubles, but is it necessary for remainder?
Rojo / Gabs both not nailed
Mid is decent
Like your strikersHigh possibility of Gabriel playing one and benching one. Rojo also tough to call as they have their West Ham replay match also. Still returning to fitness & both Young & Valencia ready by GW34 i assume
Can those ranked in the top 30k show me your WC team for 34 please?
Still debating what to do
8 years, 3 months agoHi Guys

Butland Hennessy
Wollschief Simpson Alderweirald Bertrand Kompany

Shall I use the 2FT this week and look to wildcard next week? What do you think of Courtois/Ivanovic double up? or 1 CHE DEF + Payet in for siggy?
Cheers
