I saw a tweet from Hull saying they expected to know tomorrow I think. I'd prefer 37 at the moment I think.

Yeah I hope so too. I'm well set up for GW33, and can have 3 Chelsea and a Leicester playing in to if I want for DGW34. Then I've have a few weeks to stock up on Arsenal, Liverpool etc.

At the moment I've got Panti and PvA with blanks in GW33 and I'll still have Naughton unless Clyne/Wolly/Terry get injured. I'll definitely have 3 Chelsea (either Cesc or Oscar or Remy) and may even have two Leicester (Schmeichel and Vardy). We'll see when the Liverpool DGW is rescheduled but I doubt I'd fancy anything more than a defender and Coutinho or Sterling or Henderson.

I got this last DGW so badly wrong I haven't a clue what to do for the next one. I currently have only Sanchez and PVA missing 33 and had been considering switching Sanchez to have a very strong 33 team to try and gain on the people who have 4 or 5 missing, then I was gonna maybe go with Ramsey.

That's partly why I did Sanchez to Silva last GW, Ramsey is my preferred Arsenal midfielder moving forward. As long as Sanchez doesn't become a popular captain choice again I don't see myself reversing it. I'd rather go Ramsey, Ozil, Giroud for DGW37 and spend the money elsewhere.

Yes, barring a totally unexpected postponement or abandonment.

spock.

Bad news. Need to bring in another Chelsea player and probably 2 Liverpool players in the next couple of weeks.

People with wildcards still available will be pleased. I'm going to have to take a hit or two now

spock.

To summarise:
GW33
Blanks: Villa, QPR, Arsenal, Sunderland, Liverpool, Hull

GW34
DGW: Chelsea, Leicester, Liverpool, Hull

GW37
DGW: Arsenal and Sunderland

if sturridge shows any kind of form Kane will be leaving my team for the double.......

Yup, same here.

I'm leaning towards Sturridge now as a Costa replacement. It seems fairly likely that Costa and Remy will get a game each in the DGW based on the information available at present, so unless something emerges that Costa is not going to return I think Remy becomes a less attractive option. Giroud has a blank and no DGW34 so may have to wait.

Liverpool at home to Newcastle this week gives Sturridge a run of Newcastle (h), blank, wba/hull (both a), QPR (h).

If Costa is fully fit for the DGW he can come in for Aguero.

At least there wont be much need to get players from the 2 weaker teams that week. At least Chelsea don't have a blank the week before so not too hard to plan things

the only thing for those with wildcards is if they go all in there is still 4 gw's to go and they could have a lot of unwanted players in there team. I'm happy it's in 34 tbh as I've 4 f.ts between now and then and if it was 37 those with wildcards could've went all out as there was only 1 week left.

True, Aguero and Kane could hurt some. At least it's made the captaincy that DGW slightly more interesting. I still expect Hazard to be a comfortable favorite but not the 95% if it was just Chelsea.

Yeah, but Liverpool have a decent fixture after the DGW, loading up on 6 from Liverpool (including Migs and a season keeper) and Chelsea, plus Schlupp and a Hull benchwarmer like Diame or Brady maybe could be done on a wildcard giving 8 DGW players, then easing towards Arsenal cover for 37 with 3 FTs is a good strategy for a wildcard.

I think its very good for wildcarders, time for your friend and mine Mr Edgbaston to shine I fear!!

alchemist33

Would have preferred gw 37. I'll now go with the bare minimum 11 players for gw 33 and risk not one of them playing, so I can load up for 34.

I can get 3 pool and Chelsea for 34 if needed and then the 3 arsenal for 37 without hits. I reckon I'd have needed hits to do something similar if it was 37. I'd prefer 4 weeks after someone's wildcarded with a double in mind rather than 1 as to get in extra dgw players some good players must be taken out and there will now be 4 weeks for those moves to be punished. It's only minor but as I have 2 f.t. I'd prefer it in 34.

Yeah, I need 2 hits, partly because of the Costa injury, but can have a pretty strong GW33 team which might compensate somewhat.

Shedite27

There's no sensational run of fixtures in the DGW's that you'd think "I need 3 of their players" tho is there? Liverpool probably the best of them but both away games.

Would you even play the likes of Alex Bruce for that DGW?

GW34
Chelsea (Ars away, Lei away)
Leicester (Bur away, Che home)
Liverpool (WBA away, Hull away)
Hull (Pal away, Liv home)

GW 37
Ars (MU away, Sun home)
Sun (Lei home, Ars away)

Lemlin

The missus still has her wildcard and has 2 Chelsea (Ivan and Hazard) and no Liverpool players. I'm wondering would it be worth blowing it to load up on DGW players in GW34.

Her team at the minute:

Myhill (Foster)
Dawson Woolschied Ivanovic (Naughton) (McShane)
Hazard Silva Sanchez Eriksen (Boydzinho)
Kane Austin Aguero

2 mil banked. Transfer for this week used to get Ivan. That leaves her with 2 transfers ahead of the double.

I definitely would.

As I said above I reckon you could get 8 to 9 DGW players plus Aguero & Kane for DGW34, without having to many surplus to requirements to switch back to Arsenal heavy for DGW37.

If you get a Leicester or Hull 5th mid you could possibly work it to keep an Arsenal mid and bench them. I reckon some Sunderland cover could be good for DGW37 too, Arsenal may have the foot off the gas by that second last game while Sunderland will be fighting for survival with Leicester (h) and Arsenal (a)

I'm not sure I want to go that heavy though. No Liverpool mid stands out and Silva/Hazard could outscore another mid with two games in one game.

Iused2likebusts

Having assessed my options I think Ill be going
32 foster to mig
33 sanchez to fab and playing 352 with austin on the bench. I can field 11 and would have a front 7 of silva fab hazard walters eriksen aguero kane
34 eriksen and walters to henderson and sterling.
That would give me 6 dgw players with no hits it would also sort my foster myhill problem as wba have poor fixtures from gw 34.
mig
ivan alder wolly
sterling hendo fab hazard silva
kane aguero

Henderson will be highly owned. More points than Sanchez over the last 6 GWs, almost as many as Hazard, and on pens.

Yeah I'm thinking that the midfielders (sterling/hendo/couts/Cesc) are the better options than the forwards (Sturridge/Remy).

I think one Liverpool mid is nearly essential as most dgw till have one. Like myself and Busts your missus has the Foster/Myhill problem so Migs is a great option. Then you have Sturridge to make a fairly tempting Liverpool 3.

Granted City have a potentially high scoring game in 34 and I'd either keep Aguero or Silva but don't know about both. Arsenal are at the Bridge where Jose the Busdriver probably needs a point to all but seal the title. I'll probably sacrifice having any arsenal attackers to get dgw players.

Added advantage of a wildcard is you could get a cheap 5th def and mid with a dgw too who'll be bench fodder thereafter. Schlupp, Brady, Diame decent potential punts maybe?

I like this plan and think Ill go a similar route myself. My defence does have some problems at the moment with Bellerin and Naughton so might have to take a hit or forfeit the Henserson transfer.
