Double Gameweek Planning

I still don't get the fascination with BB in a dgw unless you are going with more than 12 dgw players. What was your bench for 34 Martin Kane mahrez ? It also included a palace defender.

I'd have thought most people would be BBing with 13-15 DGWers. Mahrez is averaging 6.7 PPG this season so is roughly equivalent to a DGWer with one return. Why am I thinking of dropping him :pac:

The point is Kane and Mahrez are not my bench. They're starting no matter what.

After that I have 13 doubles. So an extra 4x2 vs playing BB in a SGW for and extra 4x1. The only argument I can see for selling Kane is that.getting a cheaper 3rd striker could allow strongers defenders etc. But if you do that on WC you're not gonna be able to get Kane back so you're going without the PL top scorer in a team chasing hard for the title for the whole run in. When would any of us ever contemplate doing that in a normal season???

But seeing as its yourself that's banging on about it I'll have to have a closer look at this at some stage.

Is Martin not on your bench aswell without a double. I think there are alternative approaches but everyone has been fixated on wc 33 bb 34 tc 37 since the start of the season. So when looking at their plans they aren't considering setting themselves up for a sgw BB. As I've always stated going all in 34 for BB with 13 + dgws wins out but if going with say 11 dgws in 34 and BB or in 37 less than 11 dgws and BB there is other possible weeks to do it.

Martin is a mistake so. Was toying about with that team from memory and musta thought his DGW was 34. That spot will be a double player.

You have 13 dgw players so which is definite bb. I'd transfer delaney out in 34 for a better dgwer.

I think it has to be a mix of Rooney, Martial, Mata and Rashford, it just remains to be seen where they will be played. There's no-one really else to challenge those four for the attacking positions.

I forgot about Lingard actually.

which team will win this GW....Red or Green?


Current XI

Boruc (MCI)

Ivanovic(avl), Wollscheid (SWA), Morgan (SOU)

Ozil (WAT), Siggy (sto), Mahrez (SOU) Alli (liv)

Aguero (bou) Kane (liv) Vardy (SOU)



Wildcard XI

Mignolet (TOT)

Bellerin (WAT) Cresswell (CPA) TBD (tbd)

Sanchez (WAT) Coutinho (TOT) Payet (CPA) Mahrez (SOU)

Aguero (bou) Lukaku (Mnu) Welbeck (WAT)

Captain in both teams? I'm going Sanchez(c) so am probably biased but would Green due to taking advantage of Arsenal and West Ham's fixtures while only really losing Alli and Vardy for medium fixtures

I honestly don't know yet, probably stick with Aguero in the first one, not sure on the 2nd.

I am just pondering now about where the likes of Alexis and Sergio have been globe trotting to on this international break and wondering if that could throw a spanner in the works. My head is cabbaged!

Sanchez has started and played at least 75 mins after every trip to South America, we also can't afford to rest him

Lingard is in favour. Depay another option but not really in favour

What would your plan be for GW35 assuming you have Lukaku too...transfer one of them out for a striker that has a game or bench both and go 4-5-1? That's the only thing stopping me going for Martial at the moment.

Yeah I'd most likely be benching both and going 5-4-1 for gw35. Rooney might be very tempting, but ditching an in-form Kane I might find hard to do, especially as there would be a -4 involved as well as gw35 ramifications... Be spectacular if it came off though

I'd say so, but you can never be 100% sure with Wenger.



No, I'm planning on double Arsenal defence and Sanchez. Probably a mistake given how consistent Ozil is, but I'm still chasing MLs and not defending. I'm also too stubborn to swap Sanchez for Ozil after holding for so long

yes I'm almost certain to go for him too I think
have only reluctantly had ozil once this season when he went thru his barren spell arpjnd Xmas !
swapped him out for Sanchez for his barren spell
I still think there is a burst of points coming from Sanchez soon

How would you rate Iwobi's gametime?

A player like Iwobi is exactly what we need at the moment. Raw, in form, not afraid to have a go.

Which is why he'll probable be on the bench at the weekend.

If I thought he'd get 140mins in 34 I'd be all over it.
