Depends on your position if chasing Ryan Taylor could be a good one as he has something at stake is playing in midfield and takes some set pieces.

I'm 13 points ahead of opponent. He has Panti, Sanchez (c) and Giroud tomorrow evening. I have PVA, Kos (possibly missing), Sanchez (c) and Giroud.

This weekend is going to be a sheer headwreck for people with a small lead like myself. I'm 13 points ahead in one league and will be about 20 ahead in another. Anything could happen though. Like I'm taking out Kane and the way previous year ends have gone like this, he could easily score a hat trick. Lukaku was bang out of form two years ago and banged in four for West Brom.

You can also get crazy results which is already happening - Saints 6-1 to Villa, West Brom 3 Chelsea 0. Being a Blackburn supporter, I remember some of our last day results over the years when we had nothing to play for - 06/07 for example, Reading 3 Blackburn 3. Spurs 0 Blackburn 4 another year. Not to mention other games like the United West Brom 5-5.

The other problem is players signing off. Talking to the resident office Man City supporter here. He reckons players like Dzeko and Nasri could get a start at the weekend because there's a high chance it'll be their last game for City.

How did Dzeko go out of favour so badly? He was prolific earlier in season.

City supporter here in work reckons he and Jovetic will be gone this Summer. Bony has been bought and City are now playing with one up front so it pushed Edin right down the pecking order. Jovetic has just been a sicknote. A pity because he's a good player.

Mark Lawrenson at the weekend on MOTD2 or some soccer show I saw made the point that every City team bar the actual first team play 4-3-3 or some variation of same. Pellegrini appears to be the only coach not going with it.

City also have Negredo. He's on loan and Valencia had pre agreed an obligatory fee of something crazy like 25 million which they are now trying to get out of paying.

Bertrand is using a lot of cash at the back but I guess Terry Bellerin Schlupp is as good a defence can be for GW38.

Maybe N'Doye or Ayoze Pérez for Kane. Both Hull & Newcastle will be at home and have something at stake. N'Doye provided 2 big hauls and nothing in between in the last 10 or so games. Pérez scored in his last 2 home games.

Then A. Young tempts me (either for Albrighton or Boyd) but United away and maybe Wednesday they'll officially have nothing to play for. Is there any Everton midfielder with a will to shine for possible transfer/contract improvement (my idea is home to a Spurs side who don't give a damn at all now...)?

sheroman01 · 19-05-2015 2:37pm

Eugggh, I'm 0.1 short of bringing Lukaku in for Kane. That would include -4 so don't really want to take a -8.

Edit - actually, might bring in a Villa defender for Terry which allows me to bring in Lukaku. **** it, last game of season!

I dunno about getting strikers in from Hull or Newcastle, yea they have something to play for but neither of them are playing well and I'd imagine they will become defensive if they take the lead. I am thinking about getting Ryan Taylor in though if he's playing in midfield for his goal threat and cos West Ham have been struggling for goals.

For a high scoring game I'm looking at Everton v Spurs. Everton are playing well(and spurs defence is poor lately) and they are usually very attacking at home so thinking about getting in Lukaku as my 2nd transfer.

What's the mad rush for Benteke all about? Villa are safe and have an FA cup to play for. Doubt tekkers will play much if any of the game at the weekend.

I agree. I have Benteke but wouldn't be bringing him in for this week if I didn't have him.

He's currently second in the FFS captaincy poll.

Banking it

harpstilidie · 20-05-2015 3:43pm

Very difficult to know what to do for the the final GW. Going to be difficult to predict lineups as there will be lots of rotation. Important to have a good bench because they will probably be needed.

Liam2012 · 20-05-2015 4:05pm

Anyone looking at Downing for this week? Surely Allardyce would love to do all he could to send Newcastle down. I have 2 FT's and could be protecting a very slender lead or even be behind after tonight so I'm looking to upgrade 2 of Alder, Hendo and Kane. Would Downing be considered an upgrade on Hendo? I know he's from the NW and he played for Middlesborough but does he have a history with Newcastle?

Shedite27 · 20-05-2015 4:19pm

Kevin Nolan would be poetic this week - big send off for Sam, play his favorite son, score 2 to send Newcastle down, then both of them off to Newcastle in the Championship next season

Dubliner28 · 20-05-2015 8:14pm

Mirallas in

considering Kane and Giroud out for Benteke and Remy for -4. What do we think?

Bit wary over whether Remy will start

alchemist33 · 20-05-2015 9:58pm

My mission for this week:

Move up 500 places for my best ever finish
Win the Champions Cup final
Hold a 13 point lead for second in a pay league (in which I don't even know if there's a prize for second!)

Copper_pipe · 20-05-2015 10:15pm

Panthro · 20-05-2015 10:15pm

I've hazard in for Cesc.
Jose to loosen the leash for the final game of the season!

We're going for the Liverpool cup final look of 1996

PARlance · 20-05-2015 10:24pm

Despite a fairly average week I've increased my lead to 30 & 33 points in my pay league.
Teams aren't massively different so I'll keep an eye on transfers and probably go
Giroud to Tekkers and
Someone to Hazard (if needs be for a -4)

2nd Row Donkey · 20-05-2015 10:28pm

Sanchez out for Yaya

Any chance Benteke could be rested to avoid injury for cup final?
Will Drogba not start, last home game before joining backroom team?

sheroman01 · 20-05-2015 10:38pm

Team at the moment is as follows:

Heaton
Terry Bellirin Wassi
Hazard Silva Sanchez Albrighton
Aguero Kane Giroud

I'm actually pretty happy with that. But it's the last game and **** it I wanna make a transfer or 2

I'm currently set on Lukaku in for Giroud. I then have 7.2m for a midfielder. Maybe a punt on Chadli, Fer, Elmohamady, Young, Fellani, Herrera?

iroced · 20-05-2015 10:48pm

Ramsey & Sanchez look like Arsenal overkill for this last GW now...

Now that Wenger is doing it, Tim might also.

Yaya is coming back into form though

Alanhooly · 21-05-2015 12:58am

I'm thinking Kane & Ozil -> Lukaku & Bolasie. I want potentially explosive punts in my side that will hopefully see finish up in the top 10k. That's for a hit by the way..

2 transfers done for a hit for me already too for same reasons
well not 10 k but top 100k

dropped to 100251 last night
want a bit of fun last day
can't bring myself to sign lukaku though
he is #1 on my blacklist

Iused2likebusts · 21-05-2015 8:33am

Mig
Pva ivan kos
sanchez Haz Ozil Hendo
ndoye Kane aguero
myhill alder walters wolly

I've 2 f.ts and 2.3 in the bank. Anyone any suggestions I'd be prepared to make 2 or 3 transfers.

Shedite27 · 21-05-2015 9:10am

Looking to ditch Arsenal players, Have Giroud/Sanchez/Ozil.

Possibly Lukaku for Giroud.
Yaya in for Sanchez.

Defoe out for someone who actually has the talent to score a goal or two.

could a 30 point gap be bridged at all.. or is it hopeless... im going captain bolasie and hope for a mane style outting form him

You need players with something to play for so I'd keep N'Doye. Henderson to Milner perhaps (could be his last game at the Etihad) and Kane to Benteke/Lukaku.

Lemlin · 21-05-2015 11:11am

Myhill
Kos PVA Bertrand (Woolschied, Baird)
Hazard Sanchez Silva Mata (Cork)
Aguero Kane Giroud.
0.4 mil banked.

Have 2 fts. Any suggestions? My opponent has six of my front eight - the differences being Cambiasso and Bolaise to Mata and Cork - and has Panti as his only playing keeper. He only has one transfer. His defenders are Cresswell, Clyne, Terry, Craig Dawson and Alex Bruce.

Of course its possible how likely it is depends on how similar the teams are. There will be 30 point gaps being made up all over the place this week.

iroced · 21-05-2015 12:14pm

Myhill (ars)
Terry (SUN) Bellerin (WBA) Schlupp (QPR) // pva (ars) Alder (mci)
Sanchez (WBA) Ramsey (WBA) Silva (SOU) Hazard (SUN) / Cambiasso (QPR)
Aguero (SOU) Benteke (BUR) / Kane (eve)

Planned transfer. Either Cambiasso to a max £5.2m midfielder and bench Kane or Kane to a max £6.2m striker. On paper that'd make me a pretty strong squad with 9 to 10 of my outfield players at home.

But Bellerin, Sanchez, Ramsey & Benteke could well be rested... which would turn my team into a fairly weak one all of a sudden...

So 3 questions:

N'Doye or Perez worth it since they're both at home and have somethign at stake?
Young worth it? In good form but United have nothing to play for and are away to a team fighting for its survival.
What are the Arsenal and Villa fans are thinking about their respective team rotations for GW38?

Maybe a Leicester def for Bertrand. If Wollscheid was playing he'd be a good option but it's not the case.
And upfront N'Doye or Perez are the ones who have something at stake. Though I'm not yet sure how worth it they are (as I just wondered in my previous post). If you do Bertrand -> Morgan how much you'd have to "upgrade" Kane?
