Double Gameweek Planning

So Rashford allows Coleman for Simpson & Darmian for JEvans.
Not sure Coleman is a real improvement (though he does have 2 back to back doubles but will he really get more in 4 games than Simpson in 2? Nothing less sure) . Darmian is a real improvement over Evans. We're kinda all expecting United to get 2 CS in the double. People are questioning him starting the 2 games. But he's the only option for me (Smalling's way too dear) unless you can do Hennessey + Darmian -> DDG + Palace def. Not sure your £0.5m is enough though...

If Rooney could stay out, how easier he'll make things for us WCers!

Your second team is THE WC punt team. Only pb is how do you get Kane back in 35? Is Bolasie + Payet + Rashford -> Mahrez + cheapie + Kane doable? Just tried it. I'm £1.5m short to get your proposed team. This is where team value plays its part!
Rashford + Bolasie need a £7.3m upgrade to Mahrez & Kane so it's impossible. The best you can save on Payet is Stanislas £4.0m. For me (just got Payet back) it's a £4.4m save.
But you could maybe do Coleman + Bolasie + Lukaku -> Simpson + Mahrez + Kane. £2.9m (for me) needed for the latter 2 moves. Coleman to Simpson only frees £1.6m. So it means Payet has to go instead of Bolasie. That'd be a very strong GW35 team for just -4 though!
And you can get Lukaku back for Kane in 36! And only worry about Payet for 37!

Hmm... you now have me real tempted by a similar combo. Just need to find cheaper alternatives than Coleman & Bolasie.

What about Zaha? Pulled out at HT in his last game. Puncheon? (He's been a great little DGW or not short-term punt of mine in the past but he's been totally anonymous this season).

I'm not interested in Zaha. Even my interest in Bolasie is stretching it. I'm wondering now though could Mahrez produce a wonder show at Sunderland this weekend. That's my big fear.

Will have to sit down and have an in depth look at my GW35 transfers this evening and the coatings.

Are people selling Kane/Mahrez with the intention of buying back for 35!

Me neither. Was just looking at other Everton mid options for me since I can't afford "your" team. And result is it's Bolasie or no one.

About Mahrez, yeah that's the risk but Leicester are on 5 1-0 in their last 6 games and in 6 of their last 7 they only scored 1 goal each time (scored 2 in the other game). So they're not free scoring. Sunderland are fighting for their survival. Sunderland conceded 2 goals twice in their last 9 games. All the other games they conceded 1 or none. So Sunderland have tightened up at the back.

So, on paper, it's a risk that could pay off over 2 GWs.

What I like about your team is there's no conundrum for the attacker to bench in GW33, United being away to Spurs, £4.5m Rashford is the "easy" candidate.

Yes. Personally I'm trying to find the best 3-4DGW33ers - 15 DGW34ers combo hoping for no injuries/suspensions/rotations in between to allow me a triple transfer in 35 bringing back Mahrez & Kane in and Simpson at the back to enable it. Only -4 for a verys trong GW35 team and hopefully a decent 33 return and a huge one for my GW34 BB.

Mahrez, no. He's staying.

Kane, probably. Will get back in for lukaku or martial depending on who's in worse form.

Sanchez and Milner or Ozil and Coutinho???? Aaaagh!

he is back from injury and played only 58 at weekend. p!ays tonight and MASSIVE game Tuesday night......will he start Saturday ? and the following weekend??????
I was tempted by him as my transfer this week but felt Sanchez was safer

MaxPower89

Half tempted of ditching Aguero, am I mad? Both GW34 games are away. Always the chance he will go mental but City havent looked like doing it much recently.

I'd say with Navas and Nasri as his main competition he will play at least 60-70 mins in each of those league games.

Sterling is out for another 4 weeks. Yaya due back next week but more likely to slot in for Fernandinho.

You don't think he'll start? It really depends how this game goes I suppose. I think we'll see him subbed for Bony in the next 15 mins or so.

But look at Citys bench tonight:
Caballero Kol Zabaleta Demichelis Delph Bony and Iheanacho.
Hardly much competition for KdB's starting place.

33&1/3rd draft:

Mignolet/Hennessy
Bellerin Gabriel Sakho Delaney Daniels(or Jags or Evans)
Bolasie Sanchez Lennon Coutinho Payet
Aguero Lukaku Kane

Comments please!

johnytwentyten

Should I get rid of aguero just to give me the funds to get kdb in alongside continuo and Sánchez?

This would also free up funds for other positions,
Other current mids are payet and iwobi,

if I was to do this my first choice would be sturridge but already have 3 from Liverpool, so who would you go for, or should I just leave it alone?

If you think KDB will score more points then Aguero between now and the end of the season. I heard that that Pelegrini said he wants to keep playing KDB to give him match sharpness, Personally I will be sticking with Aguero.

Either I'm getting rid of Mahrez for good, or I'm keeping him. Have way too much value tied up on him to afford replacing him for two weeks. My TV is already bad enough as it is. What can I say, my rookie season has been a bit of a learning experience! :pac:

Have had barely any time to concentrate on FF the one week I needed time for it. Only out in a very small amount of effort into my WC team. Very very rough team is looking like this:

De Gea Robles
Smalling Bellerin Delaney Gabriel Moreno
Sanchez Payet Lennon Alli Mahrez
Martial Aguero Lukaku

2.2ITB

Tempted to go for Iwobi as a risk for one of my midfielders. Then would have to shuffle probably Bellerin out and maybe I could get KDB in for Alli with extra value. Not gone on Lennon as well who'll be under threat from Deulofeu, Mirallas and Kone for his place. I want double United defence for DGW34 with those fixtures.

I think Aguero is guaranteed to start every game once he is fit, like others have mentioned in this thread, KDB could be rested. Also, I don't think Iwobi will start once Ramsey is back, well, there's doubts that he will, i'd pick him otherwise.

To all Manchester United fans.

Is Rojo or CBJ first choice left back ?

I've done lots of research but no clear evidence as both players seemed to be injured at the same times, over the course of the season, or one was injured when the other wasn't.

I can't see where both were available AFTER CBJ made his debut thus staking a claim for that position.

My logic tells me LVG will play it safe with Rojo and will start him when available but maybe I'm wrong and you all know something I don't. I know CBJ has been very impressive.

Has LVG said anything publicly that indicates who he prefers ?

Have gone from 220k overall to 110k to 61k in the last 3 weeks. Have also clawed league leader from 80 points clear of me to 12 points behind. So a big week with my WC now.

Any thoughts on the following ?


DDG, Darlow

Smalling, Bellerin, Gabriel, Coleman, Sakho

Sanchez, Coutinho, Mahrez, Bolasie, Lingard

Aguero, Kane, Lukaku

Zero left ITB

He took Rojo off at half time because he was playing terrible, wouldn't be surprised if he was dropped.

Lemlin

Wildcard activated. Go hard or go home.

Mignolet/Hennessy
Sakho Bellerin Gabriel Coleman Darmian
Sanchez KDB Payet Coutinho MAHREZ
Aguero Lukaku Rashford

Mahrez is the one thing I'm unsure of. I can hangs him to Bolasie and free up 0.4 but I'll lose a full million on him so I don't think getting him back in will be an option.

If I do go for that, I could go Hennessy to Robles leaving me with:

Mignolet/Robles
Sakho Bellerin Gabriel Coleman Darmian
Sanchez KDB Payet Coutinho Bolasie
Aguero Lukaku Rashford

Opinions?

I think Bolasie is a must for the first DGW.

Could you keep Mahrez and leave Coutinho out. Then for the following DGW you could use your FT to bring in Coutinho or Firmino depending on how LFC get on in Europa as you'd know at that stage if we are out of that comp.

It would give you time to asses LFC midfield and maybe Sturridge will get injured in the interim meaning Firmino starts upfront.

Edit - similar could be said re KDB and him maybe not starting this weekend.

Rojo has been average on his best games
Awful in last 2
CBJ played with the u21s Monday night so if he starts Sunday I'll be getting him in. Still would not be sure he would play in both doubles though but I'd rather chance him than Rojo due to the price difference and CBJ actually having an attacking threat !
Ashley young of course could be the fly in the ointment !
If I was on a wildcard I'd get neither tbh
Need to see Sunday first

Yeah I'm on a WC so currently going DDG and Smalling but if somebody was confident and convinced me CBJ was gonna be first choice then I'd have a lot more cash to spread around.

Don't think it'll happen so I'll play it safe.

if I had my wildcard I would be bringing him on for smith as a filler anyway along with one of the other 2 as smith is yellow flagged and poor fixtures CBJ OS cheaper
but I don't so
Tbh though there are too many possibilitys....
rojo will not start Sunday. no way. CBJ is left footed and was excellent till his injury so most fans want to see him back in BUT Ashley young can also play there AND an equally likly scenario is darmian LB and Fosu Mensah (or Valencia ) RB!!!!
so yes de gea and stalling the safest

Whats your plan for GW34?
Are you keeping Kane? What about Bolasie?

I would consider getting Payet in, or if funds don't allow that get Lanzini.
Also although its brilliant to have DDG and Smalling, one or the other would really free up funds elsewhere. Unless you are confident that Coleman will get attacking points then Robles might be as useful as EVE def coverage.

Just a suggestion but you could go:
DDG - Robles
Coleman - CBJ
Bolasie - Payet maybe? not sure on the maths here.

With team 1 do you have anything ITB ?

This is a very tricky conundrum and it's a coin toss either way.

Bolasie is a good punt for this weekend but I would be nervous about losing Mahrez against Sunderland (even though the Sunderland defense is tightening up and Leicester are the new George Graham Arsenal) he's one of the few in the game that can be genuinely described as explosive (this season) and we know how he can hurt you (not looking at FHFC )

I have Mahrez, I left out a Liverpool mid this week and will transfer one in for next week (so I could fit in Bolasie) but you now have value tied up in most of your WC midfield. Don't worry about the small value though at this stage of the season if thats the only reason not to sit someone out this week.

Separately, none of us can make rhyme or reason of LVG choices but are you comfortable with the risk exposure on both ?

Edit
Firminho has been declared fit for Dortmund. Maybe consider leaving Coutinho out of your WC, bringing in Bolasie and then transferring in Firmino for Bolasie for 34.

Had one draft with Payet and realistically I can't afford him. I'm more than happy with having Lanzini though and he's been in most of my drafts.

I really want DDG and another Unuted defender. CBJ allows Payet but I don't want to gamble with my WC and see a player on the bench for my DGW 34 BB.

I would happily sacrifice Coleman but only for CBJ, Lovern or maybe Reid of West Ham.

I am keeping Kane and Bolasie is only for DGW 33. I will swap Bolasie out in GW 34 for either Payet or Lanzini depending on whatever cash I have. So it'll be Smalling and Lanzini or CBJ and Payet.

I'm not getting the Coleman love in these teams, he hasnt offered much going forward tbis season for his price.

2 6 1 1 4 in his last 5 games. Not a punt id make.

Rashford looks a candidate to drop out as soon as Rooney is back so are you left with little or nothing to get a replacement if he makes the bemch v Spurs as rumours are suggesting.

Wenger usually keeps his team sheet consistent, especially along the back four if there are no new injury concerns. As an Arsenal fan, I'd trust Gabriel to start the next couple of games as long as there isn't an injury between him or Koscielny that lasts a game or two. Such a steal for 4.3M!

Although I hope I don't have to eat my words!
