Didnt he end up in hospital this international break? Some sort if viral type infection rather than sports injury.

Edit: food poisoning but all ok now it seems.

You wildcarding this week now.

Almost certainly, with no transfer to have a punt (which would have been Ivanovic as my defence is weak) due to Butland injury my potential wildcard team looks considerably stronger than my current team for this week even after I've used my 2 FTs.

It also gives me the option which I may well take to TC Lukaku in 33 and then 2 FTs for 34. I can also get at least 5 DGW players for 33. Probably stick bolasie in before switching to a Liverpool mid for 34.

I think I'll be tc lukaku in 33. If I was wildcarding this week that's exactly what I'd be doing re bolasie. Bad news for me in our cup game.

On Liverpool mids, am tempted by Hendo or Milner over Firmino and Coutinho. Probably less chance of rotation ahead of European games. Hendo with pens and attacking set pieces. Milner was raking in the FPL points before the red card. Major money saving for elsewhere.

Not sure Firmino or Couts are explosive enough to kill ya completely while the other lads could easily outscore as differentials.

Any thoughts as a Liverpool man.....forgetting about that h2h for a wee minute...i'd not be getting my Liverpool mid till after it anyway.

Unlikely to start both matches of the DGW, I think the 3rd Arsenal slot can be used better. I'm likely to punt on Gabriel

Hendo isn't nailed anymore I don't think, talk that Klopp doesn't like him and he'll be off in the summer. I'm WCing this week and using the Bolasie placeholder for Firmino or Coutinho in GW34, maybe Milner if he starts both PL matches

I think milner is on pens. I'd go him over hendo. It's hard to know what way they will line up. We will know before gw 34 if they are out of europa which I'd imagine they will be. If out of that and within 6 pts of top 4 I'd imagine there will be little or no rotation. Lallana could be one to watch klopp seems to like him.

He really should. But look at how badly Wenger has treated Joel Campbell. Its impossible to tell how much game time Iwobi will get.

Benimar

I'm also leaning towards a GW32 WC for 2 reasons:

1. Allows a Lukaku TC in GW33. I'm not keen on the other TC options - Sanchez (34) delivers far too many 2 pointers for my liking and either Firmino (37) or Payet (37) may have nothing to play for.

2. Allows 4 or 5 (possibly 6 :eek::pac:) DGW33 players, with the ability to remove 2 Palace players for their poor DGW34.

The next debate is how many SGW players to keep. :P

Yeah. Its a matter of set up for an 8m+ mid or a 6.5m now though. Need to see what i can fit elsewhere.

Milner has played 90 (or very near) in 20 games and 60+ in 3 more. I assume he was injured from 17 to 20 and in 12. He was on 11, 2, 5, 8, 13 fpl points before the sending off. Very very tempting.

extra gravy

Considering a defensive double up on both Pool and Arsenal now but would that be overkill? Would be more confident of it if Skrtel wasn't back. Thinking Bellerin/Gab/Mig/Sakho.

i'm thinking Monreal. already have Bellerin. Gabriel probably slightly more prone to rotation for one of the dgw fixtures i.m.o.

Skrtel won't be near that team bar an injury - even then Kolo might get in ahead of him. Lovren and Sakho are 1st choice.

FWIW, I'm looking at the same 4.

FHFC

Right. Close now.

Potential GW32 Wc team.

Mignolet, Robles
Bellerin, Cresswell, Evans (Delaney, Lovren)
Sanchez, Mahrez, Lennon, Payet (Bolasie)
Kane, Lukaku, Aguero
2m or so ITB

This gives:
5 DGW33
2FTs Delaney and Bolasie to any Liverpool mid and DGW34 Def with a game in 35 (Newcastle probably)
13 DGW34 + Kane and Mahrez = BB
10 GW35 with 1 FT.
8 DGW37 with 2 more FTs.

Think the Wildcard 32 side is slightly better than this non WC side of:
Courtois
Toby (doubt), Fuchs, Williams (Cedric, Moreno)
Sanchez, Alli, Mahrez, Payet, Arnie...(not sure who to bench)
Kane, Vardy, Agüero

Any.thoughts?

Ziegler1988

Sakho over Lovren for me and I don't fancy WBA defenders with those fixtures (*waits for Mr.P to defend Pulisball*). Would rather risk Gabriel at 4.3m than Evans and his dodgy injury record

Lukaku has a horrible GW33. Is Welbeck/Arsenal mid an option GW34 for TC.

Even if West Ham get to a cup final cant see to many of their players getting rested as they have a really good chance of Top 4 so tempted by Payet.
Good headache to have

I don't think it's that bad Everton are a lot better away from home. I'd expect atleast 1 goal in the two games.

Good suggestions. What % do you think Gabriel is to start both DGW34. Has Mert been fit these last 4 games when Gabriel has started? He seems pretty secure, more 90s than I thought. 6 out of the last 8 PL as far as I can see.

Woulda thought Lovren was most nailed, no?

Can afford Dawson or McAuley but limits my budget for Bolasie spot. Dawson = Milner. McAuley=Coutinho.

That spot is pivotal to the whole plan. If I committed to Milner I could do wonderful things with the rest of the team! It could be Delaney to Smalling for GW34.

Sakho is the number 1 cb for liverpool

Trying to maximise DGW 33 this is a potential WC this week

GW 33
(0.9 ITB)
Mignolet de Gea
Clyne Bellerín Cresswell Coleman Delaney
Lennon Sánchez Payet Bolasie Mahrez
Kane Agüero Lukaku

Use the 2 free transfers

GW 34
(0.4 ITB)
Mignolet de Gea
Clyne Bellerín Cresswell Coleman Gabriel
Lennon Sánchez Payet Milner Mahrez
Kane Agüero Lukaku

Cons
Going very expensive in GK and DEF (possibly too expensive) and it means getting rid of Alli and most likely not getting him back again. By going so expensive it means I'm limited to Milner for Liverpool, could look at downgrading Clyne and Coleman
10 GW 35 (using the free transfer)


Pros
5 DGW 33
13 DGW 34


What are your thoughts ? I hadn't been looking at Gabriel till Ziegler pointed it out and Milner might be the least risky of Liverpool Mids although without the chance of explosive returns like Firminho and Coutinho. (Firminho might still be carrying a little niggle also)

I'd say it's dependent on Gabriel's performances, probably 50% chance he starts all of DGW34 and GW35. Koscielny and Mertesacker have been fit for last two Arsenal matches where Per is on bench. I'm thinking of risking it because he's only 4.3m and not really a cameo type player so would get autosubs this GW or in 36, 38

Everton home
Goals for per game: 1.81
Goals conceded par game: 1.75

Their goals conceded is by a distance the worst in the PL, Villa are next on 1.66, then Bournemouth 1.533, Chelsea 1.5 and Newcastle 1.466. PAlace are poor also at 1.375 with Lukaku in DGW33 in mind, although Watford at 0.875 not so promising.

Everton away
Goals for per game: 1.69 - very close to home record, but not better.
Goals conceded par game: 1.0 - much better defence away.

As for Lukaku..

Lukaku Home
Total FPL points: 89
FPL points per game: 5.56
FPL mins/point: 16.17
Goals: 9
Goals/Game: 0.56
Mins/Goal: 159.9
Assists: 5

Lukaku Away
Total FPL points: 78
FPL points per game: 6
FPL mins/point: 15.21
Goals: 9
Goals/Game: 0.69
Mins/Goal: 131.8
Assists: 1

So his FPL points and goal scoring rate is slightly better away but not significantly really.

This has turned into somewhat of an analysis of the Lukaku TC GW33 and its not a banker by any means.

The games being away is actually in his favour, as is the Palace fixture vs one of the worse home defences. The Watford game is not so attractive, but their form has faded with all their defensive stats worse over the last 6 compared to their early season form. They are practically safe and a huge cup match ahead may soften their resolve.

Probably going for it. If you look at it very negatively as the best chance of yout TC not blanking there is a good chance of at least one goal for him.

I'm considering it too but its the chance of losing a match from the BB GW34 that is off putting. Also ties up 2 Arsenal spots where a punt on Iwobi or Wellbeck is ruled out....maybe thats a good thing!

This third striker spot is causing me the biggest headache. Martial's next 2 aren't great and then he blanks in 35. Mitrovic is unpredictable but has a game in 35. Defoe has 2 nice fixtures coming up but no DGW in 34. Arsenal strikers are too unpredictable re: game time. Sturridge is too unreliable. Ahhh such a headwrecker!

I'm leaving Kane till 34 when I will get in Rooney or Martial for thise two fixtures. No one else appealed really except Wellbeck but he isn't first choice proper yet.

With both GKs (Butland/Hart) out I have to play my WC this week :mad:

Looking at the following team:

Adrian/Mignolet
Bellerin/Gabriel/Evans/Delaney/Moreno
Lennon/Payet/Sanchez/Mahrez/Bolasie
Aguerro/Kane/Lukaku

That's 13 DGWs in GW34 and use whatever FTs thereafter to get 8-9 DGW players for GW37

I like it besides tying yourself to Milner. Rojo and Robles over DDG and Coleman would get you there but it's riskier

Jaggo

I think that I will be going for this selection after my wildcard in GW33:

Mignolet, Robles;
Sahko, Kos, Bellerin, Rojo, Simpson;
Sanchez, Firmino, Payet, Lennon, Bolaise;
Aguero, Lukaku, Martial.

4 doubles in 33.
Save FT in 33.

In 34:
Mignolet, Robles;
Sahko, Kos, Bellerin, Rojo, Simpson;
Sanchez, Firmino, Payet, Lennon, Bolaise;
Aguero, Lukaku, Martial.

14 Doubles in 34 to go with my BB.
I do two transfers for 35 - Bolaise to cheapie mid - Albrighton/King/Khaziri/watford mid and Martial to Kane leaving me with 10 excellent players for 35.

Mignolet(NEW)
Sahko(NEW), Kos(sun), Bellerin(sun), Simpson(SWA);
Sanchez(sun), Firmino(NEW), Albrighton/King/Khaziri;
Aguero(STO), Kane(WBA).

There are 7/8 DGW players for 37 too, 3 x FTs and my TC.

Very similar to my own plans. This is where I'd be if i was willing to commit to Milner which I 80% am. Just a slight fear Firmino might become indispensable - Sturridge injury and Firmino back up top for example.

Sahko instead of Clyne frees up cash and from a few posters above seemsto be nailed. I like the double Liverpool defence which I am gonna do as well. Newcastle at home in Gw35 a big potential plus there.

Double Arsenal def I'm also considering now.

I'm tempted to go without Man U but a possibility is to wait till GW34 and see if Rojo for example look nailed. You could change DDG to a cheaper keeper (Hennessey, Elliot?) and do Delaney to Rojo or another United def for 34.

You must have very good team value btw.

thunderdog

Im considering leaving aguero out of my team for the DGW to free up funds. He has only scored 4 away goals this season, and both his DGW games are away. You can really strengthen your team elsewhere without him in it. A risky move but could pay off

Thanks, trying to second guess the Utd defense outside of De Gea and Smalling is a complete nightmare.

Rojo could very well get full gametime and then he might get bit parts or be overlooked entirely. It would be a large gamble on Gabriel and Rojo toghether for DGW 34 though so might need to rethink that one.

Thanks, I'm taking a second look at De Gea now and apart from the very nice fixtures in 34 you could take a reasonable punt on leaving Mignolet in goals for the rest of the run in which lets you get that cheaper gk of Robles /Elliot/Hennessy

108.7 RV is finally starting to look good for something.

If I tweak Lennon to Antonio from Westham it lets me put Monreal in Defense with Bellerin

Get in a ball of players with DGW in 34 and probably no game in 35.

Have absolutely no exit plan and take numerous -8 points hits over the course of gw 35, 36 and 37 then waste my TC in gw 38 on some lad who gets rested.

You already have the template Strikeforce.
Your Goalkeepers are good for 33-35 but no doubles in 37

Your midfield is a tougher proposition. I'm not sure how much value you have built up in Alli and Mahrez ?

If Newcastle are going to do anything to save themselves in the next few then Gini will be a large part of it. I think you could do worse than to keep both Ozil and Sanchez but,

Many people will have Payet and Firminho do you want both of them or one of them ? Are you happy to cut loose Alli or does it make more financial sense to lose Mahrez (stored value again)

Your defence is where I'd concentrate. Monreal (slight rotation risk with Gibbs but meh) is a cheaper way into the Arsenal Defence and with Cech coming back you'll want some of that.
Liverpool Defence and Man Utd Defence are also worth looking at. Some people think Flanagan might get the playing time but Sakho is your safer bet. here.

Ake is good for 34 and 37 for you. I'd look at Daniels for a westham defender.

I think you can afford :


Elliot Hennessey
Aké Daniels Monreal Sakho Morgan
Milner Wijnaldum Sánchez Özil Mahrez
Kane Agüero Lukaku

Cons
That leaves you with no Alli and no Payet though.

Pros
It has 4 DGW37 and 3 free transfers to build this into 7
Full GW35
11 DGW 34

A snapshot with current resale values would let me know more closely what you're able to swing or not.

Thats a heck of a value. I have about 2m less and its exactly now it would make a huge difference!

Antonio ahead of Lennon is interesting. Their stats are very similar last 6 weeks or so, and there's a strong case for the player with something to play for in arguably a considerably better team in Antonio.

With Robles being so cheap and Evertons defence better away (and they have 6/9 away from here) maybe double Everton defence could be an option instead of Lennon. However it means one less DGW33 player.

Mignolet/Robles
Bellerin, Gabriel, Sahko, Cresswell, Delaney
Sanchez, Mahrez, Antonio, Payet, Bolasie
Aguero, Lukaku, Kane
leaves me 3m in the bank with the 2 Palace players in bold to go by GW34. Who replaces them depends on the Liverpool midfielder of choice and how Man United line up in defence the next 2 weeks. I can afford Firmino and Rojo with nothing to spare, or Couthinho if price changes mess me up. I can afford Milner and whoever I want in defence - Smalling or Coleman are options.

This might be the way to go have enough flexibility in those 2 highlighted positions. Gabriel is the only gamble. Everton defence is covered for theri DGW33 and the option to double on their defence for DGW34.

If I had £2m more I'd be able to have De Gea for Robles and Funes Mori/Firmino or Coleman/Coutinho in the positions in bold which may be food for thought for you.

Edit, the wee -4 you suggested to switch Lennon to Antonio after GW33 might be genius!

I currently have 2 DGW players for 33 , 8 for 34 and 2 for 37.
1.1 in the bank have my 1 ft for this week. I'm prepared to take up to 12 pts in hits over the next 3 gws.

A variety of views so far.

For my tuppence I'd be most worried about the following in roughly this order:

1. No Payet - a must have IMO with 2 doubles, a form team and high ownership. Plus a great fixture this week so he'd be my priority.
2. An Arsenal defender needed ASAP.
3. A Liverpool defender also but not this week.
4. More Everton needed - with no WC the luxury of getting Robles when you already have DGW keepers is probably out. Defenders are expensive for their poor CS record. Depends what you think re Lennon/Barkley as far as midfield goes.
5. At least one more West Ham player.

I think with no WC you gotta forget about any more Palace players before GW33.

This week I'd be looking at Payet in for Ozil/Sanchez, the time for having both is probably over with DGWs ahoy. You and I both know youre gonna keep Sanchez there! I'd also consider Bellerin for a hit this week as it has a very good chance of breaking even on the -4 given the pretty awful fixtures your defence has. In fact if taking hits, and given I think your defence needs the most work, going -8 to get maybe a West Ham def could see those hits break even right away.

Then you could use your GW33 FT and maybe a hit to get 2 Everton players (def and mid) for DGW33 and get yourself up to 4 DGW33s. Then get your Liverpool midfielder of choice for DGW34

Of course I should advise you to take all the hits in GW33!!

Thanks for the feedback lads. Ozil and sanchez I'll be keeping for the season. A -4 this week for arsenal and west ham defender could make sense. Payet is a problem for me as I feel it has to be him or barkley. If I went barkley id get Payet in before gw37. I think sorting out my defence first with dgw players is probably the best option. However I'd like the option of Kane to wellbeck for 34 which I won't have if I get in an arsenal def as I'd then have 3 arsenal.
FhFC hits don't count in our cup game ☺

What are your thoughts on Barkley vs Lennon vs Antonio for that 5th mid slot?

The Kane to Welbeck punt is something I had an eye on too and one of the cons of doubling on Arsenal defence.

Will keeping Ozil and Sanchez not restrict you budget wise a lot?
