Will Darlow be the first choice now at newcastle?
Seems strange that my first thoughts with the Eliott injury were who will my wildcard keepers be now!

You have to be gutted for him though. Missing the Euros AND all those wildcard squads for the DGWs....

extra gravy

Would Newcastle be able to sign an emergency keeper on loan or what's the procedure with that does anyone know?

TC and BB to play. No wildcard.

How to best prepare for GW33 and 34 with as few hits as possible. Suggestions?
TC lukaku gw33 and bb 34.

This would be my suggestion on how you can maximize the remaining 7 weeks. Ive also no wildcard so the standard BB34 doesnt apply imo. Looking at the fixtures and your current squad and the teams with doubles. I think the best time to BB is gw 36. The key teams for our circumstance are arsenal, everton and liverpool players. These have doubles and a good fixture in gw 36. The players you need to sell are those with poor fixtures and no doubles.
In your situation Id do nothing this week you have a good squad.

Gw33 Arnie to barkley and targett to jagielka. That gives you 4dgw players. These two players have 2 more doubles and a great gw 36 fixture

Gw34 Ivan to gabriel (if he plays the next 2) and siggy to sanchez/ozil. Id also go another -4 for fuchs to sakho. For this -4 you are getting 2 extra doubles and better overall fixtures for all other weeks.
If you go -8 here you now have 9dgw players a TC here could bring you in line with the 12/13 DGW BB option
Hart
sakho gabriel jags
firmino sanchez mahrez barkley
kane aguero lukaku

GW 35 Id do williams to lovren
Hart
Lovren sakho simpson gabriel
mahrez alli firmino sanchez
kane aguero
That squad should see you make gains that week as a good few wont have 11 and on paper your team will be much better than the rest.

Gw 36 BB I think you can take a couple of points hits here to bump up your DGW 37 players. Before transfers you have 3 everton at home to bournemouth, 2 arsenal id be looking to get to 3 at home to Norwich keeping in mind in 38 arsenal are at home to villa in 38, 3 liverpool away at swansea. Id be looking at offloading kane or aguero possibly to rooney, wellbeck, ighalo to free up funds for payet.

GW37 you will have 6 dgw players before whatever moves you make in 36. So can get to 8 with no hits.

its the lads that wildcarded in gw21 that got elliott in for his hopeful future dgw that I feel sorry for.

FHFC

Wildcard activated. Team picked.

Heading away with the family for a couple of nights from tomorrow so need to have the heavy lifting done.

Currently on...

Mignolet, Robles
Bellerin, Cresswell, Gabriel (Sahko, Delaney)
Payet, Mahrez, Sanchez, Bolasie (Barkley)
Lukaku, Kane, Aguero
1.3m in bank.

Lining up as above this week with captain between Sanchez and Payet.

It can go one of 2 ways for 34.

A...Liverpool mid for Bolasie and Utd def for Delaney and potential -4 for Antonio for Barkley.

Or B....the all in option of Kane to Sturridge, Bolasie to Antonio and potential -4 for Delaney to United def.

The latter would be 14DGW for the BB and see Kane back in for Lukaku for 35. Then Lukaku back for 36 or 37 possibly for Aguero.

All depends on how the various players get on over the next couple of weeks and obviously no injuries.

Nice plan. One criticism would be that going without Payet or any West Ham players for most of the run in is a risky strategy.

It is the one downfall and its probably what I will need to do. Id hope what you may lose in 34 you will gain in 35. For non wildcarders we have to factor in hits and gw 35. For me it comes down to payet or barkley as I only want 2 gw35 blanks in my squad Lukaku and 1 other. I could get in payet this week and forget barkley.

I'd go Payet over Barkley all day long personally.

Especially this week. I'm benching Barkley and probably captaining Payet.

Should you look at putting some Chelsea into the planning from 34-35 ? You're leaving yourself with 9 players for 35 otherwise and this would help towards 37 DGW, but who to go for ?

Other than that I think it looks very good for 33 and 34.

It's a bit more complicated than that in my situation though. It's a -4 this week one less double next week and 1.2 less to spend which means riskier picks in defence.

Regarding "risky picks", the main benefit of a DGW player, is that he'll play more than 90 mns, people picking the likes of Gabriel/Collins (ie myself), if they are rested for a game, we might as well save ourselves the hassle and just get a good SGW (single) player.

Probably a lot more risky picks further up the field

Yeah in option A I'd be getting a Chelsea def in for 35 with my FT. in option B that'd be for a hit. Which I may still do but just keep Delaney through 33 and 34 rather that do the earlier hit.

I'd probably look at Costa for 37 if they are in any way performing. He has a Euro squad to play for.

Yeah was thinking after that you have 33 to think about. Still seems pretty unthinkable not to have Payet from this week but then its a luxury i can afford.

Re gabriel i saw a good graphic on twitter by the same guy does the spreadsheet which shows pretty clearly that Gabriel is first choice. Will try to find...

My hope is that my ozil sanchez double up can keep pace with everyone else's payet 1 arsenal mid combo.

It's been such a lottery the last while, fairly impossible to predict who's playing where. I'd like to say Collins/Reid will be first choice, but quite possible Ogbonna will get a game or two. Cresswell is the only one who's not going to get rotated at the back.

Noble, Kouyate and Payet are definities, after that Lanzini/Antonio will probably play the more winnable games, one of them dropped for Obiang for the ones we need to keep it tight.

For this week, Byram and Collins are still out, so back 4 will likely be....
Antonio Reid Ogbonna Cresswell

John83

I'm about to pull the trigger on this WC:

Mignolet, Robles
Bellerin, Gabriel, Ogbonna (Sahko, Evans)
Mahrez, Payet, Ozil, Zaha (Lennon)
Aguero, Kane, Lukaku

But it cleans out my bank. And no wiggle room at all.

Ideally I'd like to have Utd defensive cover and have the cash to swap Zaha for Firmino/Coutinho.

So it looks like Kane is the one causing me problems. I missed the boat on him earlier in the season so I'm wondering should I just let me sail? If so what strikers are of interest. Mitrovic is calling me but he only has one double. Going mid-price on a striker allows me a pretty heavy hitting midfield.

Kos is always picking up little injuries too leaving the door open for the other 2!
I think I'm going to chance Gabriel as it allows me Sanchez and another decent defender and pool midfielder

Mr.Prodston

Are many planning to TC Lukaku (or anyone else :pac:) in GW33?

James Collins out for weekend
may return next weekend but maybe not till gw34

Fhfc is. He has a big cup game that week so has wildcarded a week early and will TC Lukaku to give himself an unfair advantage over his unfortunate opponent.

Yes. Planning on WC before Saturday to give me the option. It will be Lukaku in 33 or Payet/Firmino in 37.

Probably. Unless Everton continue to look as lethargic as the Arsenal game.

Yep. Built my whole end of season plan around an obsessive plan to take Busts down a peg or two. . Mwaahhahaa.

Are people going to wildcard to maximise bench boost chip for week 34 or to field a whole team for week 35?

Both. Will have 13-14 DGWers for 34 and use my two FTs to get 11 for 35. Haven't looked at how many DGWers I'll have for 37 yet, but will use hits if necessary in the build-up to that.

My head is fried trying to work the combinations. Too much like higher level maths or physics to me.

Provisional, as you'll see, but:

Mignolet/Robles
Bellerin Delaney (Dann if I end up with a cheaper alternative to Kane) Smalling Sakho Janmaat(maybe, or Gabriel if I don't go for Welbeck)
Ozil Payet Lennon Mahrez Firmino
Lukaku Aguero Kane (or Welbeck, or Martial if I don't go for Smalling)

How does this look for week 34?

15 DGWers and use Bench Boost

Adrian Gomes

Bellerin Gabriel Sagna Flanagan Cathcart


Payet Sanchez Lennon Wijnaldum Antonio


Aguero Lukaku Ighalo


I will take a hit week 35 to have 9 players.

All opinions welcomed and appreciated.

Three Watford Players, Three Arsenal Defenders, Three West Ham. I think that could go badly wrong. Watford and West Ham still in FA Cup so taking a risk they dont go easy in these games, nothing else to play for for Watford. 3 arsenal Defenders is a gamble. I'm not the best informed on here but thats my tuppence

Thanks, I see your point with Watford and West Ham players. I have only 2 Arsenal defenders but still might be too much. That Gabriel could end up getting me a red card as handy as points.

alchemist33

Agree with deco. Taking a hit (maybe two needed?) and still only fielding 9 isn't the best use of your wildcard. Less Watford and more Liverpool needed, methinks.

Taking a hit and still only having 9 is not good at all. At least have a keeper with a game in gw35. Mignolet Robles is a fantastic combo imo. Flanagan might play 0 1 or 2 games of a dgw and may not play 35 so he's a waste also imo. I'd make Antonio Alli or preferably Mahrez who is pretty essential in keeping pace given his ownership. A Palace def over Cathcart will get you an extra DGW. Don't fancy Ighalo at all and you only have 1 striker for gw 35 as it stands:)

I wouldn't be able too afford but may swap blind and smalling and jaanmat for Simpson as Leicester are good at the back!

Well they have back to back doubles in 33 and 34, I wouldn't bother if they only had the double in 34:) Is Blind not a mid in fpl?

Would be great as a def. Not sure I trust Rojo and an't fit any Utd attackers or mids

John83

Mignolet, Robles
Bellerin, Gabriel, Evans, Sahko, Janmaat
Mahrez, Payet, Ozil, Bolaise, Lennon
Aguero, Lukaku, Mitrovic

3.5m ITB

That leaves me with:

GW33: 4 DGW
GW34: 14 DGW + BB
GW35: 11 players
GW37: 6 DGW + TC

I'll draft in Firmino for Bolaise after 33 and then I'll have 3 FTs to work with between 33-37 so I can work on replacing the Arsenal/Newcastle players with DGW players for GW37.

Would like to have a Utd defender in there for their double in GW34 but it will leave me short on GW35 then.
