@ FHFC. If you're chasing and are willing to go for it I think this is the "perfect" week to bench Hazard and take a punt on Mata.
I mean, if you don't care too much about your final OR what is the risk anyway? The lads ahead of you will be a lot more reluctant to play the same tactics since they have a lot to lose. This is not your case. Like Prodston said, if you don't try something, you have no hope of reducing this gap. We're not talking about 5-10 pts which could be easily overturned with a single outstanding performance from one of your differential player and/or from your GW38 captain. 30-50 pts are big gaps. You have to try something different.
Unfortunately, as you said, no one really stands out for this GW bar the Arsenal lads that you already have.
Your other option could be to get Panti for one of your GK and double up on Sunderland defence (if your rivals don't own him). To be fair I'm not sure it is a good idea but considering the lack of stand-out midfield options, if it works you'll definitely cut the gap. Panti generally makes plenty of saves. We had outstanding GK returns lately. Myhill, Adrian, Harper, Fabianski, Green, all got double digits scores lately. Why not Panti? A CS against Leicester and a ton of saves in the Arsenal game is something not completely over the top? And why couldn't he save a peno like many of his mates lately :P?
Then captaining Ramsey...? Why not? I don't think we'll know anyway how much he or any other Arsenal mids is guaranteed to play ttheir next 3 games and their result at Old Trafford will deeply impact it anyway. So if you have a gut feeling about it go for it. Again you have nothing to lose.
Personally I'd rather go the Mata and/or Panti road but I'm not enough of a gambler yet

Who cares about overall rank really, if you don't at least try and go for it then you can't overtake them. No shame in taking a punt at this stage. If it works you could pull back 20+ points and be primed for an overtake on the final straight. If it doesn't work, you can look yourself in the mirror and say you tried, which is more than can be said to those playing it safe, counting down the days until they can hit the beach.
The Prodston way, it can't always be wrong
I do agree. OR is worth forsaking if its to try and win cash.0 -

Ramsey has shown he's Sanchez like explosive last season and can be Ramsey like explosive this season if he hadn't been injured for large parts of it. He's back playing games, starting consistently and looking threatening.
Of course due to ownership etc Sanchez is the play by the numbers options, Ramsey offers something different, a little more pizzaz to proceedings. Riskier yes, but isn't that part of it. If we knew who was going to score and when then this game would be straightforward. But we don't. Hazard was the nailed on option for the last DGW and he did diddly squat. he was the sensible option and few alternatives did anything so there was no problems.
If you're leading a league, holding off opposition and trying to consolidate then Sanchez is your man but Rambo is a beacon of hope in this late season race to the end.
I know who I'd choose in a pursuit of the fat cats. Every so often the little man gets a win. It could be this week. It may not but if you've got nothing to lose and everything to win then why not. Pride is overrated. 0 -
I suppose if you're 40 points or more down and really have nothing to lose then go for Rambo, Cazorla, Giroud captain but 20 points or so could be pulled back with Sanchez(c) and your differentials. Ramsey is my favourite Arsenal player so I'd be delighted to be singing this three times over the next week

Blonde moment from myself
Hazard's resale value for myself is 10.6; forgot that he's a lot more to buy now!0 -

30 point lead to defend and opponent has Giroud. What's the better option?
A. Vardy and Ramsey (no hit).
B. Mahrez and Giroud to block opponent (4 point hit).
I presume this means you can't get Giroud without a 4 pts hit?
It's the classic dilemma when you're leading. Safest option would be B. Wait for Wenger press conference and hope for news regarding Welbeck fitness. I think Wenger won't rotate too much anyway since Arsenal will absolutely want to avoid the 4th position. And the best way to do it is avoid losing at Old Trafford and beat Sunderland so that they can ease off for GW38 eyeing for the Cup final. And to do so I don't see why Wenger would not field his current A team.
I think the stat that it was the first time since 1996 that he fielded the same starting XI 5 times in a row is largely due to the many injuries Arsenal suffered (at least in the past couple of years - I don't really remember what it was like during the Overmars & Bergkamp era -). 0 -
