Gameweek 34 Transfers.

extra gravy

Tempted by a punt on Ulloa but hard to know if he'll start both games.

Myhill -> Mignolet - Done!

Bit of advice on the next one. I'm considering going for the -8

Eriksen Silva or Lucas -> Hendo, Sterling or Cambiasso
Eriksen Silva or Lucas -> Hendo, Sterling or Cambiasso

Which of the 2 on the left, should I transfer out for 2 on the right. I have the funds to afford any of the transfers.

To get Hendo and Sterling in, I would have to sell Lucas

(Yes, I know. I should have already quit the game by now instead of having Lucas in the team! )

Of course it depends on Silvas injury, but if he's not out, then I'd do Eriksen + Lucas out, Hendo + Sterling in

I'd be seriously considering Albrighton instead of Cambiasso, and that's after putting Cambiasso forward all week. Albrighton is playing well, very attacking and possibly "due" a goal or assist at least.

Not sure what do do about Liverpool, in theory they still have something to play for, but they seem to have looked beaten docket on Sunday, Sterling was poor by all accounts. Didn't see the game.

Hard to know whether they'll respond well or just fizzle out from here. Form wise I possibly fancy Couthino over Sterling. While if they stupidly insist on playing Gerrard then Henderbus is much less appealing.

If you have to chose 1 Liverpool midfielder (money no issue) would it be Sterling, Henderson or Coutinho?

Coutinho was annonymous on Sunday too.

Have 2 transfers done for this week leaving me with 5 dgw players currently - Hazard, Coutinho, Vardy, Mignolet, Terry.

I will probably do one more for a 4 point hit but I cant afford Ivanovic. I have 2 options really.

Boyd to Henderson - Would end up having to leave Kane or Sanchez on the bench going this route.
Naughton to Cahill - Would end up benching Wooly.


Unsure about either. Any opinions on what you would take?

Still scored though, and is way ahead of Sterling for attempts over the last 6. From FFS free "Scouting the Doubles" article...

Philippe Coutinho (7.8) hasn’t netted in five league outings yet underlined his goalscoring potential with the opener in Liverpool’s FA Cup loss to the Villains – his second strike in the last three over all competitions. In terms of goal attempts in his last league six matches, Coutinho leads Sterling by 21 attempts to 12 – given that only two midfielders have managed more over their respective previous six, the Brazilian has been a little unlucky only to score once in that run.

Ziegler1988

Henderson would be my mid of choice since he's the most consistent and cheapest. Sterling is the most explosive but highly dependent where he plays. Coutinho can't score 20 yard screamers evey match, too many shots outside the box for me

If sturridge is not fit, probably Sterling as he will play up top. Henderson is more consistent though and on set pieces. My personal preference would be Henderson.

Sturridge is not an option for me. I am happy with my forwards and he deosn't seem to stay fit for any period of time. I haven't had him all season and wouldn't touch him with a bargepole to be honest!!

He won't be on set pieces if King Stevie plays. I have Sturridge and not sure what to do

WEll yes he did well to get into position. However I'm convinced that goal was actually an OG, I think it was off target until it came off Okore.

I have Studge, and fukit I'm gonna hold him. Not worth 2 transfers to get rid and get in a Liverpool mid. And might as well have a DGW striker even if he won't play 2x90. He only needs 20 minutes to score a goal off the bench, and I'm hopeful that he'll start at least one of them.

Of course if he's ruled out completely come Friday it'll be Hitzville.

Just did Eriksen to Albrighton btw.....stage 1 of Cunning Plan no 447 of the season.

Cunning Plan success rate.... 0.034% so far this season, but I'm quite hopeful.

Sure you're not going to start Albrighton are you? I've had him as bench fodder since Jan WC but I don't think he'll be making my DGW team.

Would you not bench Kane away to Soutahmpton? They only conceded 10 goals at home. They only lost 1-0 in the first round.
That could be a suiting DGW gamble...

DVDM93

My team at the moment lads. Took a -4 to get Hendo and Schlupp in. Think it's worth taking a -8 to get Coutinho/Sterling in or am I fine as I am? Would ye change anything about my starting team? Thanks.

I was a big supporter of the Southampton defence and I've been doubling up for a lot of the season, however Kelvin Davis is very unconvincing in goal.

At the time of him coming in I didn't think he'd make much of a difference and I was able to pull some data to show that it was down to the high performance of the defenders that led to clean sheets rather than the goalkeepers.

However, after several games, it's quite obvious that Davis doesn't have the same presence as Forster. If defenders begin to lose a bit of confidence in their keeper, they can quickly become vulnerable.

The same thing happened last season when Davis went in goal he is a championship goalkeeper at best.

I'm already in -4 but looking at possibilities for another dgw player I have landed at this.....

Sell Cork for Cambiasso then bench Kane, is it as mad as it sounds or a perfectly reasonable move???

It's not a move I'd make burnley have conceded 1 goal in there last 3 home games city spurs and arsenal although I do feel they will be a lot more attacking this weekend and then the other game is against Chelsea.

Ah, I know its dodgy but I think I'm gonna chance it. Unless something sweet comes off for me I've no hope of a podium finish in the Harps league, so while not going full Prodston on it I'm going to take a few calculated risks and hits.

Fair points about K Davis, but Saints still havent conceded at home since he came in. I'd actually be more worried about the chopping and changing he did with Clyne and the contract saga there, plus Alder being out and Yoshida likely to be in, he was dodgy as fook against Stoke.

However, I suspect Kane is not likely to fill his boots, a goal maybe worst case, and a blank in certainly not unlikely. Meanwhile a rejuvenated Albrighton is central to Liecesters revival and has great attacking stats, and came very close to a goal, hit the post i think, against Swans. Worst case he gets 4 points to Kanes 6 or 7, best case he outscores Kane 11 or 12 to 2. Worth a punt if you've a mind for puntin IMO.

Just remember this is the same Kane who scored 18 against Chelsea, 12 against Arsenal and 11 against Liverpool, and another 4 double digit scores over the season. I'd say he almost certainly has the most points per minute in the whole game

zarquon

The problem with not playing Kane is that almost everyone in the top 10K will. If he blanks you do well but if he gets a big score you are screwed. Kane is a must have in a starting 11 purely to safeguard as everyone else has him too.

It's far too risky to not play him

jimmii

6 or 7 is definitely not a worst case scenario if you don't play Kane!

On the other hand, you can make up big ground. I'll be playing Kane but I don't fancy a double digit haul from him

Yes, it's a risk. If one is chasing a lead, then it's worth a chance. If one is consolidating a lead then Kane should be played.

I'm chasing unfortunately.

I know 6 / 7 is not worst Harry could do. That statement is based on a presumption that he won't run amok. Spurs had something to play for when he got those big scores.

Yeah I can't see them going nuts myself either but Kane is still in the hunt for golden boot should be enough to at least keep him motivated. When chasing you need to do something different to make it up no Kane is definitely going to give you a differential!

Any thoughts on this wild card team?I like it and gives me a few players for the next dgw.I am ahead by 60 points in my paid league and ahead by 8 points in my head 2 head league.

I think this team is solid and decent for following weeks,anyone any changes or should I just press the transfer button.

Who to bench - Kane (a - SOU) or Silva (H - Villa, 75% fit)?

I'm the same. Edging towards benching Silva at the minute as I have Aguero.

Same problem here, currently have Kane benched. Pellegrini is pretty straight up in his press conferences so hopefully there's definite Silva news on Friday

Completely understand the logic. PVA instead of O'Shea perhaps and be sure you want 2 Arsenal defenders for the double (as opposed to two attackers and a defender).

Kane can hurt you a lot more than Silva can

I suppose you plan on benching Kane this week? Considering you're 60 pts clear I guess it's a risk you can take hoping for a climb in the overall rankings (if results go your way ).

As FutureGuy said I'm not sure 2 Arsenal defenders is the best way to go for GW37 especially with Cazorla as your attacking one. How much money you have left with this team?
Southampton play Villa at home during GW37 so one of their def/GK could be an option. Despite their injuries/suspensions/rotations at the back they've consistently kept CS this season, particularly at home (actually I just checked and 11 of their 15 CS were at home, didn't think the home/away diff was that big and will reassess playing my Saints def week in week out).

Considering I'm unlikely to play him again this season, would this be the perfect week to transfer Dawson out for -4 to a Leicester defender? It's really really close in my league so I don't want to be taking more hits than I need. Keep in mind that that -4 would almost certainly become a -8 as I brought Nugent in last week and I'm not keen on keeping him if he's a doubt for the Burnley game.

Dr. Bre

be madness to drop silva over kane. spurs may have nothing to play for but kane will want to finish top scorer. city going thru the motions. should I bring in fab for silva or eriksen?

I think I'll sell Silva for Sterling.

It's the perfect week to make this transfer.

Now, regarding your tight league, the million £ question you need to ask yourself is what are you gonna do or should I say who are you gonna play if you don't go for it (and I mean every single week until the last one). That should tell you if the -4 is worth it or not .

Thanks for that, I've worked out the rest of the season and the Leicester defender would likely play 4 of the 5 weeks, otherwise I'd have 2 tricky weeks at the back. Now the question is which to go with :P I know Schlupp is the popular choice here but my gut is telling me to go the extra .2 and get Huth. If Leicester are going to get anything against Chelsea you'd assume they'll need to be very good defensively, especially if Remy or Costa are back, which might give Huth the edge bonus points wise.

Right Sterling for Silva or Sanchez or not at all?

Arsenals's fixtures good after chelsea, silva at home to a distracted villa, liverpool playing poorly but with a dgw against poor opposition.....feels like a decision that could go badly wrong whichever way i go :pac:
