Question: if I was to go for -4 at some stage before GW37, should I just do it this week and get rid of Kane (vs City) and bring in Giroud (vs Hull)? Downside to this is that if something happens to Giroud before GW37, I'm stuck with an injured DGW player taking up a valuable Arsenal spot.

Debating this myself. Giroud not playing at Old Trafford is a worry though. Welbeck started there in the cup and it worked so maybe Wenger will do the same again.

As much as I want to include Cambiasso, I think he's going to be sitting this one out?

Can anyone twist my arm?

Id Stick with that front 7 an easy decision imo.

Mr.Prodston

If I needed a midfielder this week and wasn't overloaded with Man City then I'd be looking at Jesus Navas.

Still don't know who to go for up front though. Ideally Kramaric would start and I'd back him to score if he did but that'd be wishful thinking

Benimar

Mignolet, Myhill
Terry, Bertrand, Schlupp, PVA, Naughton
Hazard, Sanchez, Sterling, Coutinho, Boyd
Aguero, Kane, Vardy.

1FT 2.3 in bank.

Any obvious changes here? Leaning towards saving so I can bring in 2 more Gunners next week.

Team is
Ming myhill
Moreno azpil alderwield wolly schulp
Oscar hendo hazard albrighton fellani
Rooney Kane Aguero

I'm about 30 points behind so need some differentials aswell, any thing crying out too people?

Any ideas here lads?

Kane to Vardy would be a differential.
Fellaini to anyone but Fellaini? Ramsey maybe?

NinjaTruncs

Not sure who to play or who to bench, any help?

Current team:

Pantilimon (SOU)
Lovern (OPR) Moreno (OPR) Terry (CRY) Bertrand(sun)
Fab (vc) Hazard (c) Silva (tot) Sterling
Giroud (hul) Aguero

Bench
Krul (lei) Kane (MCI) Alderweireld (sun) Jones (whu)

I may swap Pant. and Krul. Not sure if I should play Kane but no idea who to swap him out for.

1 FT but I would like to keep that for next week to start getting rid of some pool players.

I'd double up on Southampton Defense before a Liverpool one... isn't Moreno flagged as a doubt anyway

Yeah my thinking is if he doesn't play Kane will come in. I usually prefer to play home defender rather than away.

Hmm Kane to Vardy is tempting me...

Has Kane lost a limb or something that I'm not aware of?

All the cool people sold him last week. He was great for winter due to his versatility and everyone could pick him up for cheap in the January sales but most people are looking for something a little different as we approach summer Now that some dropped him last week the rest are scrambling to catch up with the latest trend :cool:

I've just made that transfer about a half an hour ago. Now that I've nothing to play for I won't be having any Spurs player in my team (Arsenal fan)!

Western Pomise

Front 8 to choose one person from which to drop this GW?

Silva,Sanchez,Henderson,Cambiasso,Hazard
Rooney,Giroud,Kane.

Am thinking of dropping either Silva or Kane??
Anyone willing to give me a definite choice??:)
Thanks.

MarkSRFC21

Should I play clyne or bellerin? Or should I play both and drop either Kane, Felliaini or benteke?

Southampton away form has declined lately. Hull have benefitted from the DGW and seemed reboosted. But I'd play Bellerin for his assist potential.

As for me, plan was to ditch Fabregas to an Arsenal midfielder. But shouldn't I drop Silva instead? I do feel though he has more chances to get involved in goal(s) but City are so misfiring. Fabregas plays deeper but takes corner and is an assist machine this year. And Chelsea are cruising.

NabyLadistheman

Seem to have the same problem as everybody else. Seriously strong front eight. Half temped to take a sensible transfer & just do Bolasie --->> Boyd. Seems a waste though and I am very uncomfortable going into this GW without any Arsenal midfield or forward cover.

Fab -- Haz -- Sterling -- Bolasie -- Silva

---

Aguero -- Vardy -- Kane

Could do Fabregas -->>> Sanchez. Like for like essentially and a week earliar than I would have liked. Thoughts?

Would you definitely sell Fab over Silva?

I just saw the Spurs-Man City stats on BBC and well If Agüero delivers Silva could be his assist boy (thoug he's been the assister's assist boy lately).

Who are your other def? Definitely better picks than Clyne & Bellerin?

FHFC

Right, after the harps match and finally starting Better call Saul, I'm leaving it late and my director of football has probably buggered off to bed, but I need to sort out my plan.

Rooney is fit but a lot of speculation RVP could still play up front with Rooney dropping deeper. I think the uncertainty rules either out as somebody only looking for a medium risk investment really.

Looking at my team, and the fact that my transfer pretty much has to be Sturridge out it looks like Giroud or Benteke are the only options really.

I'd love to get Rambo in before Giroud really, but with Fab finding a bit of attacking form and a potential Chelsea title winning romp, and with Sterling playing a team he's liable to score against even when playing ****è, it probably doesn't really justify -4 to move either mid when I can field this team with 1 ft.

Mignolet,
Terry, Huth/PVA, Bertrand (Wolly)
Haz Fab, Super Marc, Sterling (Bolasie)
Aguero, Giroud, Kane

That would leave me with 5.4m in the bank!!

Captaincy very tempted by Aguero, I bigged up his record vs Spurs before the last game so hard to pass him now. Can see a potential high scoring game there.

Out of interest, why are you going for Giroud over Benteke? I'm also trying to chose between the two.

Close call. Probably feel a bit naked with no Arsenal player at all. Neither have an easy fixture to make them the stand out choice for this week. I'll likely get Benteke in for Kane next week.

I'm strongly considering a -4: Remy and Kane out, Benteke and Giroud in

I'd be tempted by Benteke to Kane but have a feeling Spurs City could be a 4-3 kinda game.

You know Remy is likely to play v Palace? I'd not be so sure about shipping him for either Benteke or Giroud for this week.

Rambo ahead of Sanchez then?

In your position I'd definitely get Giroud in. You don't need to gamble when you're high up like you are. Just captain Agüero for his hat-trick and that'll differentiate enough . Giroud is in form and has a DGW coming. Arsenal are not safe for top3. Benteke is on fire but doesn't have a DGW (anymore :pac:) and Villa while fighting the relegation battle are Villa. Not the same quality midfield behind him to deliver good balls.

I see you're Silva-free. Would you recommend to me to ditch him ahead of Fab?

MarkSRFC21 wrote: »

Right. I understand your selection dilemma :P.
If you really feel Sunderland won't score then play Clyne. A reboosted Hull side may make it difficult for Arsenal and get a goal. They actually generally do score at home.

OneColdHand wrote: »

Don't want to speak for FHFC but as I said above the DGW would have me favouring Giroud ahead of Benteke.

Just saw your last post. I agree with FHFC though. I feel Spurs-City could be a goal fest. And Remy should play...

*stumbles in with a pager in one hand and a beer in the other*

You have my approval for Giroud, unless I can interest you in a Danny Welbeck

He's differential enough this week as attention hasn't turned to GW37 just yet. Plus you can watch him on Monday night football.

Although how about that Andi Weimann, are you sure you're not interested?

How likely is he to play though? I've been burned badly by him. Don't think I could stomach another no show from him.

I've been silva free for a long time and it's not been a good thing! But too late to get him in now for me.

It's hard to sell either this week, given my gut about a high scoring Spurs City game. Silva scares me, having gotten away without him hurting me for the past few weeks makes it even more worrying.

Would probably sell Fab this week if I really had to sell one.

Welbeck is actually a worry when it comes to Giroud. I know the track record is Wenger not going to wholesale rest players even if 3rd sewn up, but if anybody might get a run it's Welbeck for Giroud IMO. But probably a chance I'll have to take.

As for weimann, you just run along back to that lap dancing club, sorry I bothered you....

In that case for all the reasons I gave in my previous post I'd get Giroud.

In addition Everton only conceded 2 goals in their last 6.

Dunno, they've been poor with Drogba leading the line to the point that he went with no striker for 45 mins last week, and Jose's quotes seemed positive to me. In FFS and guardian lineups fwiw.

Yeah this situation annoys me. It should be a no brainer but Silva is on feuquing 3-4-2-1 (no it's not City tactical formation )... Fab is home to QPR but plays very deep... but manages to keep his assist machine working... Aaaahhhh...

Or. Disappointing Sterling out.


I may end up tossing a coin :pac:...

The chairman is very generous with his money

Well lets just see about Master Weimann tomorrow when he goes and gets a goal and assist!

I still haven't made my transfer either...

All the logic in my head is telling me to get Giroud. But I have a gut feeling Benteke will do something against Everton.

I'm conscious of the Everton cleanies recently. The United game was very impressive. The others were all at home. 2 were Southampton and Newcaslte, 2 teams in cruise control. The other was Burnley, a team that doesn't seem to score goals. They are away to Villa (a team with a lot to play for, and a team scoring goals), and they have conceeded in their last 5 away games.

Funnily, the DGW has me steering clear of Giroud temporarily. I got burned by Remy by bringing him in early. I would have gotten Ivan in if Remy wasn't taking up my 3rd Chelsea spot. More than likely I will go for Giroud, but I think I'd rather make that decision closer to the DGW.

Just to counter the Giroud in debate, what about Rambo & Sanchez with either Kos or Bellerin for the DGW? Could be massive potential there

Mr.Prodston

I might just role my transfer over. Hope Kramaric plays and I've got Phillips coming in if he doesn't. Plus I'll be a week wiser then and able to afford Giroud if I'll want him.

I'm so sensible

I'm having the same struggle than yourself with my midfield to ditch... Plan was and still is Fab. Plays deep. Does take corner kicks though. But doesn't seem to get the same good relationship with Drogba/Rémy/Oscar/etc than he had with Costa earlier in the season.
But Silva's form frustrates me. If City play 4-4-2 like Guardian are predicting, he may be quite deep too. But he does get in scoring positions often enough in games...

I feel Pellegrini has figured out that they are much better as a 4-5-1, and he want them to finish on a high with a view to keeping his job. I feel Silva is more likely to grab a goal, so personally I'd be keeping him. But it's a close one!

Seeing all this Giroud/Benteke debate and my unability to choose between Fab & Silva to ditch I just thought of that. Ditch both and get Sanchez & Rambo in. Problems solved .

It'd be a kicker to get rid of Fab or Silva & then Sterling to have a stinker, which is my biggest fear. Will need another transfer to get rif of him next week!

iroced wrote: »

Well it does worry me that I would be Arsenal-less for this week at least. That's why I was considering a hit earlier tonight to bring in both this week (I think I'm over that now!).

Arsenal have Swansea at home next week, so would bring in someone next week for that (either Giroud or Ramsey probably). Then would have 1FT for GW37, so would need to decide if I wanted to take a hit to have 3xArsenal.

Edit: on the Benteke vs Giroud thing, the ownership should be noted. In the top 1k, 25% own Giroud, vs 5% Benteke. I presume the top 10k figure (more approporiate for me!) are similar.

FHFC

Considering Ramsey/Sanchez and Benteke now.

Remy and Oscar to start probably, and Willian played well lately. Fab may be more deep.

Sanchez and Giroud similar,ownership at around 30%. Benteke still a real differential at 7ish.
