    Sturridge owner here already. Think i may well end up going with 3 'Pool and Chelsea for gw34.

    2x -4 hits should do the job (one for gw33, one for gw34)

    would leave me with this for dgw34:

    Mignolet
    Ivan Schlupp Alderweireld
    Fabregas Sterling Hazard Silva
    Aguero Kane Sturridge

    Johnny Walters(H vs Sunderland) as first sub or instead of Kane(A vs Southampton) if i'm feeling particularly ballsy

    Current team. 2FT.

    Panti, Hamer
    Ivanovic, Bertie, Bellerin, Hutton, Dawson
    Sanchez, Hazard, Mane, Coutinho, Albrighton
    Aguero, Kane, Benteke

    GW32 – Hutton -> Schlupp

    GW33 – Benteke -> Murray and Bellerin to Baines.
    I’ll leave Remy because I don’t really want 3 Chelsea player v United. This leaves me with 10 outfield players for GW33 excluding Albrighton

    GW34 – No idea what to do yet. Sell Murray at home v Hull for Remy away v Arsenal, Leicester. I’m not so sure about the merits of that. I could do Panti – Mignolet?? I could do Mane to Sterling leaving me with both Steling/Couthino. Not sure about the merits if that either. I can’t bring in Sturridge without selling Sanchez and I’m not sure I want to either.

    Jose's press conference at 12.30 will be watched with interest re Remy/Costa.

    Hope somebody asks him about his plans for the DGW! :)

    Here ya go. The colour codes might be a bit off since I haven't updated the the rankings in a few weeks but all the blank/double gameweeks should be there.

    Id change your gw 33 options.
    Murray for a week makes little sense: even vardy from leicster least plays 33 and dgw 34.
    Also i think makes more sense bring in terry over baines from a ff point of view.
    Then if gw 34 you bring in sterling for mane or even henderson for albrighton?
    Leaves you about 7 dgw

    I don't think I'll be doubling up on Chelsea defense DGW or not. Two clean sheets in last 8 and I've enough invested in Ivanovic I'd say.
    Vardy a definite option alright though.

    Don't forget this sheet by the way... somebody posted a link to it halfway through the season and it went straight into my favourites, been using it ever since.

    As regards this week who would going expect to get the bigger return? Remy v QPR or Benteke v Spurs?

    If I was bringing in one it would be Remy but if you have Benteke I'd keep him.

    I'm thinking the best time for the missus to drop her wildcard is actually after the GW34 double for GW35. Chelsea will more than likely have the title won by then so will drop 2 of their players and stock up on Arsenal and others.

    Sanchez, Giroud and another to come in.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭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
    Change of plan remy is in for austin so I have my 3 chelsea now Ivan hazard and remy. Ive 3 transfers left before 34 so will get 3 liverpool players. The advantage of going remy over fab as my last chelsea player is that I can probably keep sanchez now which will help me for Gw 37 as Ive saved myself a transfer.

    I doubt it. Jose is like Jose when there's something to play for, when he needs to try get a psychological advanatge.He's been playing it very straight lately now that there's a bit of breathing space between them and the rest.

    He said that he'd reward Remy with a start for his performances and he did. Yes, we know Costa wasn't 100%, but remember he started a lot of games like that earlier in the season when struggling with injury. If Chelsea continue to win with Remy starting, I'd imagine we won't see much of Costa for the remainder of the season to allow his hamstring to actually heal.

    My proposed team for DGW, no hits:

    Heaton (Leicester H)
    Terry (double) Alderweireld Dawson
    Sterling (double) Hazard (double) Fabregas (double) Silva (villa H)
    Sturridge (double) Aguero (villa H) Murray (hull H)

    I've just spent way too much time thinking about my DGW34 and 37 teams. Barring injuries it's going to come down to Ivan+Mane+4 points vs. Moreno/Sakho+Cesc. Benefits of the Terrivanovic would be leaving it in for the rest of the season compared to a Liverpool defender who I'd want to switch in GW36 because of Chelsea A. Then logically I'd want to bring in an Arsenal defender but I might want to go treble Arsenal attack. Still another 12 days to plan as well :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 700 ✭✭✭frisbeeface


    Who is the best keeper for the DGW and beyond? I was thinking of Mignolet but not sure about the Liverpool defence any more. Courtois seems like a waste of Chelsea cover.

    To play every week? Courtois if you can't afford Terry/Ivan, then Mignolet or Ospina.

    Yeah, to play every week. Currently have both the West Brom keepers but they've really gone off the boil and have a very tough last few games. I already have Terry so reluctant to double up on the Chelsea defence though.

    Did Sakho not pull his hamstring? I was half thinking of Lovren but maybe I'm wrong about Sakho.

    Edit - He tweaked it alright but like he'll miss just the FA Cup match.

    Was looking at Lovren myself but will he be guaranteed a game when Skrtel comes back?

    It's hard to know. He's supposed to have done well the last day. I'm not a Liverpool fan so don't know the ins and outs but it'd be worth checking out. He'll get a goal from a corner if he plays.


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,664 ✭✭✭✭dahat


    Ozil to Fabregas ft. GW33

    Eriksen to Hendo ft. Gw34
    Coleman to Moreno -4 Gw34
    Giroud to Sturridge. -4. Gw34

    Gives me Hendo,Moreno, Sturridge,Ivan,Hazard and Fab for Dgw players.

    Yeah he might be back for the DGW though, supposed to miss the next two matches.
