Double Gameweek Planning

    I went with the more secure options in wildcard and will still only score 49 after subs!
    I will need Lukaku to go mad and everton to keep a clean sheet v palace to break even or better my pre-wildcard team which I would have chosen.
    It is currently 74 pre-wildcard v 49 post wildcard. Difference of 25 points!

    Utd and arsenal had a tough fixture this week. The gains should come next week and you should profit more than most with the more secure options.

    Wait. Have figured out who will save my DGW.

    Andros Townsend. And Samir Nasri.

    And I'm not even joking....

    Townsend is a great option for those with a strong front 8 dgw34 and game 35 and then happily bench for the rest of the season. He was always my plan but got injured the week I was to bring him in and I went wijnaldum instead at the time.

    Carroll makes Antonio attactive too. But i need to focus on 35 a bit more i think.

    Andros hardly on their pens is he?

    I'll probably skip United attack and get Andros and maybe DeGea. May also switch Barkley to either Milner or Nasri as DeBruyne is pretty out of the question.

    Regretting getting in Lukaku / Lennon for DGW 34

    Just played wild card and cant see Everton doing much v Palace,

    Replacements for Lukaku please?

    Martial / Welbeck ? Pool striker?

    He's a big risk for the DGW with Origi seemingly level or ahead of him for that spot. I'm considering him in for Lukaku for 35 potentially.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    The thing holding me back from milner is I can see him getting a rest in 35 against Newcastle. He played against dortmund he played the weekend he will play Thurs. With can out I think he will play against Bournemouth and then he will defo play against Everton. With can back and lucas available. He will more than likely be on for a rest against Newcastle.

    Sturridge looked as good yesterday as I've seen him in ages.

    Will be deffo getting him in for GW 35....might even swap him for Lukaku if he blanks again on Wednesday night. Otherwise will be Firminio in for Bolasie for GW 34.....or possibly both....or neither, I'm just so emotional right now :-)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,618 ✭✭✭✭siblers


    Price changes forcing me to make a decision on this today.

    I have Bolasie & Coutinho but want to swap out for KDB & Lingard. I'm really struggling with this.

    Would you ?

    Bolaise has horrible fixtures in 34 so i'd be getting rid of him for sure, impossible to know if KDB will start both game, but the same can be said for Coutinho.

    Also the beauty about getting him he won't be benched, rested rotated. Newcastle also have palace and villa gw36/37.
    I am glad I got him in the wildcard.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    I was seriously considering changing from a DGW34 BB to a DGW37 BB, but I'm not sure if its worth it. I'd have to find a DGW34 TC if I do.

    If I BB this week I'll play:
    Mignolet (bou/EVE)
    Bellerin (CPL/WBA), Gabriel (CPL/WBA), Sakho (bou/EVE)
    Ozil (CPL/WBA), Mahrez (WHU), Payet (lei/WAT), Barkley (SOU/liv)
    Lukaku (SOU/liv), Martial (AST/CPL), Aguero (che/new)

    BB: Robles (SOU/liv), Janmaat (SWA/MNC), Bolasie (ars/mnu), Dann (ars/mnu)

    I have 2 FTs so could replace 2 of the 3 outfield players on my bench, but bar Bolasie to a Liverpool mid, it creates problems for GW35. As it is I'd be playing with 10.

    If I TC in DGW34 (another issue!!) I could have the following DGW37 team:
    Mignolet (WAT/CHE)
    Azpilicueta (sun/liv), PVA (CHE/EVE), Sakho (WAT/CHE), DGW Defender of choice - possibly Smalling (xxx/xxx)
    Liverpool Mid (WAT/CHE), Payet (SWA/MNU), Barkley (lei/sun)
    Lukaku (lei/sun), Defoe (CHE/EVE), Aguero (ARS)

    BB: Robles (lei/sun), Bellerin (mnc), Ozil (mnc), Mahrez (EVE)

    I'd also be able to field a full XI in GW35.

    I THINK I'd be effectively swapping (assuming using my 2FTs this week) Rojo (AST/CPL), Liverpool Mid (bou/EVE) and Dann (ars/mnu) for Bellerin (mnc), Ozil (mnc), Mahrez (EVE) + 2 extra players in GW35.

    The DGW34 TC is a tricky one too.

    In short, my head is exploding :eek:

    I think its to hard to plan for BB in DGW37 without a WC, toom any injuries, players rested for FA cup and players losing form to contemplate imo

    In short, my head is exploding :eek:

    I think you need to stick to your initial BB 34 plan. The time when you lose points ive found is in the weeks leading up to the big doubles. You will essentially be making pre determined transfers for 4 weeks to maximize 1 week in gw37. Recent wildcarders lost points this week. I lost points from gw30 to 32 as all the moves id to make were with 34 in mind and had to ignore siggy and arnie for example as they had no double.
    With transfers id do bolasie to townsend gives you a player with a better fixtures this week and a game next week. If you feel the rest of your squad janmaat and gabriel will start id keep the two fts for 35 when you could probably get alli and kane for lukaku and barkley.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,738 ✭✭✭Cartman78


    I can see lots of parallels between the Double Gameweek Planning fiasco and the Celtic Tiger housing crisis.

    Voices of reason were dismissed and ignored and sometimes ridiculed eg."Lads...I'm actually thinking of holding on to Alderweireld and Siggy"; "Liverpool defence is very uncertain" ; "Has anyone actually watched Gabriel playing"

    And we all ploughed on regardless, ignoring all the red flags, greedily chasing the DGW BB mega points haul like a part time carpenter taking out a 100% mortgage on a mid-terraced flat on the outskirts of Roscommon expecting to sell it off at a profit in two years.

    We're now left hoping for a miracle from seriously flaky Everton and Palace players to negate our negative equity but living in fear that LVG will play Ashley Young instead of Darmian at certain back and realising that multiplying zero by two is still zero.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,264 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    Dithering between Barkley and Wolly out for KDB and Simpson (-4), or Barkley, Wolly and Forster out for Firmino, Smalling and Mignolet (-8)

    Impending price changes mean I have to make my moves today

    Why would you sell Barkley before a double?

    KDB and Firmino both have better doubles in gw34 and a fixture in gw35 and are both better fpl prospects imo. Considering Lennon to Iwobi myself.

    It's all the overseas investments that are letting me down that Belgian donkey called Lukaku being a prime example giving me very little return on my money.

    What's are people's thoughts on Alli/Kane? Thinking of bringing in Iwobi and Martial for the pair so then I can upgrade Coutinho to KDB


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    Hello, my name is Mr P and I have had an idea :)

    Instead of using my bench boost this week like I had planned I should use my TC and use BB in DGW37. My reasons are fourfold:

    1. I made a balls of the WC and can't trust my 15 to start.
    2. I have options like Sanchez, Aguero, KDB
    3. TC in DGW 37 has less options and I then can't talk myself into PVA TC.
    4. I can legitimately transfer in Norwich and Sunderland players.

    I haven't even thought about how feasible it is to get to 15 DGW by 37 but I've gone right off BB this week with doubts over Gabriel, Sakho, Delaney, Lennon, Rashford, Darlow. Not to mention more rotating of Coutinho and KDB.

    I've f*cked up royally but I have a chance to save myself a bit here I think. After City and Liverpool have played in Europe and United in the FA cup things could be clearer or muddier.

    But yeah I might not BB this week. It seems like I'd be compounding the mistakes I've already made if I do BV. Especially now that I've been given this rare moment of clarity.

    How d'ya like dem apples, er I mean chips?!

    I've been thinking about this for a few days also but just cant justify it.

    Who would your benched players be?

    Mine is probably Robles Mahrez Gabriel and now Sakho.

    Only worry there is Gabriel and Sakho actually start both games and get decent points which along with a possible Mahrez 6-9 pointer would outweigh the TC in any case.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,274 ✭✭✭✭FHFC


    Any thoughts on what role Yaya may have for City in the DGW.

    With Kdb minutes likely to be managed carefully and Sterling still out, could he get a run in and advanced role?

    Fernando and Fenandinho are playing well and had stormers tonight. May well get rested to conserve energy for a semi where they will have to do a lot of chasing whoever they get.

    As KDB alternatives go would Yaya be better than Nasri in theory?

    Not sure KDB is worth the money and restructuring required given the gametime risk.

    In the same boat.

    Sakho, Darmian, Gabriel (?), Rashford and more importantly Coutinho, KDB & Aguero doubtful. Why Delaney though? It'll be hilarious to have more than half my WC team not guaranteed 2 games :pac: :rolleyes:...
    Oh and of course now, not sure about you but I kinda have to play Bolasie :pac:... Ah ah it's become beyond hilarious.

    I've been thinking about the TC also. But your only option is Sanchez really. Forget about City. KDB had ice packs on both his knees yesterday when he came out and Aguero should be managed.

    Though, as lougal mentioned, we'll have a DGW GK on the bench and considering how this season's going, we're guaranteed to be left with DGWers on the bench (and be sure Gabriel will then score 2 goals with his 2 CS !) and SGWers on the pitch.

    I think we're screwed and have no choice but play BB with either our current team or take an 8 to 16 pts hit to get in more "secure" players.

    I think your best bet is to ignore both City & Liverpool. We have no idea who's gonna play as this GW showed us. Who do you plan out anyway? Bolasie? If you can afford Yaya, what about Mata?

    I mentioned Delaney because Palace have already exceeded my reasonable expectations with that clean sheet :pac:

    Scaremongering now from me: He's pushing on and the FA cup takes precedence and it's *possible* he's rested for that midweek game?

    I'm more leaning towards ignoring United attacking wise. The whole LVG shambles and rumours of player unrest are making me wary of going near them apart from Fosu Mensah if passed fit. Mata has zero form, although that didn't stop me bringing in Barkley! :o

    Outbound I expect to get rid of the aforementioned Barkley unless something very unexpected happens tonight. Also more fools gold in Bolasie. I'm hoping to replace both with players with DGW34 and a game in 35. Spacecraft will be one. Nasri, Milner probably the other. Mata....hmmmm, dunno. Has crossed my mind and he has delivered for me before, but as i said zero form and United toxic. Lets see how they line up and perform tonight.

    I'm up for at least a 4 point hit to get a United def, hopefully Fosu Mensah for Delaney. And may go -8 to gamble on a one week punt for Kane...Sturridge or Martial. Might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb.

    Sturridge is the ultimate punt. If I hadn't been stung by him earlier in the season (bought him on as a punt; injured like two kicks of the ball later) I'd risk him in for Lukaku but alas!

    I think I'll join you and abandon using bb next week too. Would take a 16 point hit to give me a bench worth using and after looking at the fixtures there, I think I'd actually do better using it in GW36 when nearly all my players will have nice fixtures.

    gw 36 is a great week for fixtures its when I plan to use it. Potentially with a couple of pt hits to set me up for 37.

    Despite my previous thoughts on you not BB in 34. I think id look at ivan and jags to bellerin and smalling and BB. Hart is now back so you have 2 dgw gk and all your sgw players have good fixtures. Thats 8 dgw players and 7 sgw players
    williams and siggy at newcastle, fuchs simpson and mahrez home to west ham, alli and kane away at stoke.
    Im BB in 36 but i dont think the 36 fixtures suit your squad the way they suit mine.

    I may yet go -12 and have a right bang at BB 34.

    Busts is spot on re using the WC the week of the big DGW in future but I am where I am now.

    DGW 33 was actually a major spanner in the works as it caused many of us to go for 3 Everton who are beyond shíte and now I want rid for 34.

    I'd go B but Ward over Souaré

    Thanks for this, you saved my WC from being a complete washout. Had completely forgot all about him 'til your post.

    Totally agree on this but unlike you I'm without the BB so my options are limited. Looking at 10 plus Kane for a - 4 dgw players but so be it.

    We suffer on....

    Done, now here's where i get myself in trouble, thinking of Captaining Bellerin ahead of Aguero. Could get 2 clean sheets and an assist or 2 assists and a cleanie. That could offset any Sanchez damage

    I did suggest this to lemlin as an approach the other week. Its the first year of these so it was a learning curve for all . It's the way I'll be going next year BB whenever I have decent fixtures and if I manage to keep the wildcard till the DGW wildcard the week of the DGW. If I use my wildcard early like I did this year I won't be as fixated on maximizing my DGW players as every transfer I've made the last 6 to 7 weeks is with 34 in mind. Any gains you make in 34 you have more than lost them by not getting in other players you should have the previous 6 gws.

    I don't fully agree with this.

    If KDB & Coutinho had played 60+ min, chances are they'll have returned good pts. Their managers are not known for rotations. But they did this week.
    Thought 'Pool were happy with their Sakho Lovren CBs partenership. Well couldn't anticipate that Klopp was gonna change his CBs every single game. No managers do that. I love Klopp but don't get his strategy here :confused:.
    Same with LVG. Darmian was back from injury and was dropped on the back of 2 clean-sheated solid performances. Maybe a little more predictable than Sakho but still doesn't make much sense to me.
    Finally Rashford. A gamble. Admittedly. But he did start. Taken off inexplicably at HT to put A. Young upfront and to change the latter 15 min to the end. Young Rashford showed yesterday what he's capable of if you leave him on the pitch. LVG is a clown at United. Crazy since he's one of the best coach of the last 30 years.

    So. With just an assist from KDB 61 min, a goal from Rashford or Coutinho and a 2 pt appearance from Sakho, I'd be 12-13 pts better (which would be far better in terms of rankings thanks to no lucky autosubs) and in very good shape for the BB34.

    The only one to blame is Lukaku. 4 pts captain in a DGW. I actually don't remember such a popular fail.
