Double Gameweek Planning

Double Pool defence is dodge and I'm not happy with Darlow being there but I've a pretty strong front eight.
Free transfers will give me 11 for GW35 so covered there but can't really plan any further ahead...my head will explode if I try!
Very similiar to my team (front 8 identical).
But I am lately wondering if I should bring in Stephen Taylor for Newcastle @ 3.8m. You would then have at least .5m to upgrade a Liverpool defender (to Jags/Everton?) for 2 DGW's.0 -

Cheers for that - hadn't thought much about Newcastle defense but the more I look at their fixtures, they actually have a chance of not being relegated from what I can see.
Gameweek 33 Southampton (A)
Gameweek 34 Swansea (H)
Gameweek 34 Man City (H)
Gameweek 35 Liverpool (A)
Gameweek 36 Crystal Palace (H)
Gameweek 37 Aston Villa (A)
Gameweek 38 Spurs (H)
My bets are on Leicester sewing it up before gw35 and Spurs becoming comfy (and lazy) second. Man City will be fighting for their Champions league spot with ManU so Southampton and Man City would be their biggest threat.
I honestly think the rest are winnable for them but a Newcastle fan may be able to correct me on that.
Don't know if I'd have a goalie and a defender but it makes me feel better about having any of their defense...
edit: darn, 0.1 short of getting Mignolet in for Darlow and changing Sakho for Taylor...

A) Mignolet, Cresswell, Evans, Coutinho

Team A has much more strength in depth, but B has Sanchez!!
Is it madness to be considering B? It is isn't it.....
I'd go B but Ward over Souaré0 -

B unless you're relying on Darlow to start a lot. I strongly considered Cresswell for my WC team, but 5.7m is a lot for a defender that rarely gets baps and one attacking return since GW100 -

Another vote for B here. Don't underestimate having Leicester defence either. No double, but could easily outscore other options that do.0 -

If I'm not mistaken A) = £23.9m
......................... = £23.2m
If you add Mignolet to B, = £24.2m i.e. £0.3m dearer than A.
Can't you afford it? And if so can't you "find" £0.3m somewhere? Who's your second GK for example?0 -

I'm bored!
I WC'd last week, know I'm making no transfer this week, know who i'm bringing in for DGW34 and what I'm doing with my 2FTs in GW35.
Barring an injury I don't need to look at my team until the end of April :eek: I'm stuck doing 'real life' stuff!
I miss the mania of last weeks WC

I vote we pass the time by inventing innovative new chips to further complicate the game and cause even more debates about how little effect they will have on the entire season :P
What about the "Double-Captains Chip"? You Nominate 2 Captains and they both get double points that week
Or the "Fish N Chip?" - I haven't yet decided what this does, I just like the name...0 -

It's been over 24 hours since my last WC team alteration so the mania may have stopped....although the KDB vs Payet scenario is still bugging me.
Anyhoo...alternative chips...
1) The Jesus Almighty Chip - to be deployed after a spectacularly bad GW. Your gameweek points are voided and you are allocated the weekly average instead
2) The I Can't Believe it's Not Butland Chip - receive quadruple points if you captain a goalkeeper
3) The Gareth Barry Chip - keep Gareth Barry in your squad for 25+ consecutive gameweeks and receive a 50 point bonus. Receive a further 10 point bonus by making a maximum of 7 transfers in the same period
4) The Multi Punt Chip (aka mini Wildcard) - select four free transfers to spice up a stagnant squad.
5) The Force Pelle Chip - pick a particularly hated rival and deploy this chip...Pelle will be a permanent non-transferable fixture in that team for 3 consecutive gameweeks.
FWIW, I think any of the above would be more useful than the AOA chip.0 -

Evening! I've been reading quite a bit about the next few weeks and have come up with the following WC for this week. I've managed to turn around an absolutely disastrous season (second last in my league for most of the first half of the season) to be second from top so I really want to make a good push for the final few weeks. Any help would be really appreciated!
Would loose 0.5M on Alder if I sell and want him back
Mahrez I've had since GW2 so again would be too expensive if I wanted to buy back.
Could do Kane to Martial for a couple of weeks???
Plan is Bolasie to Cou/Firm next week (might change Bol for Lennon....)
Head is fried!0 -

If you still have BB then Taylor is wasted in defence as he won't play.
I'd keep Bolasie over Lennon as he will play all minutes barring injury.0 -

Wilcdcard draft 5,044 - Operation Bench boost.
Lennon can be swpaped in 35 if he does f*&k all for Iwobi maybe and he can do as a cheap 5th mid the other gws. I won't be rotating my strikers so he fits the bill - That would field 10 in gw35.
Should I have 2 free transfers in 35, the other transfer can bring in a defender for Delaney to field 11 in gw35.
Alternatively I could upgrade Targett to a gauranteed double gameweeker if I save money on Rojo over Darmian!0 -

Fosu-mensah came on for Rojo at half time as he had a terrible game, he assisted Martial, B Jackson played for U-21s Mon night, so Target is a wasted player to have.0 -

Unfortunately not.
A) Mignolet(4.9), Cresswell (5.7), Evans (4.5), Coutinho (8.1) = 23.2 Darlow (3.9), Simpson (4.2), Souaré (4.2), Sanchez (10.9) = 23.2
Rest of current WC team is:
Robles Mignolet
Bellerin Gabriel Sakho Cresswell Evans
Payet KDB Mahrez Coutinho Lennon or Deulofeu (undecided yet)
Lukaku Martial Aguero
Can't even afford Ward, which was a great shout. I'd have to find another 0.1 from somewhere. Probably Sakho to Moreno but he's not guaranteed to start at all. Only other viable option is a Utd defender instead of Cresswell.0 -

Looks very good to me.
I'd go with Bolasie over Lennon though.0
