The gw 33,34,35,37 Plan

Iused2likebusts

All these weeks link into each other. Im just wondering on the numbers people hope to have out in the 4 gws. People are discussing their plans in detail in the DGW thread so maybe we could keep this for number of players playing.
Ive no wildcard so with a few hits Im hoping for
GW33 3 dgw players
Gw34 12 dgw players
Gw35 10 players
Gw37 9 dgw players

That's pretty good considering you have no wild card. I'm using mine this week and I'm pretty much the same as you(without hits) bar week 33 were I'll have 4 or 5. I've no bench boost so I dont need to overload on the week 34 DGW players.

Ziegler1988

Current plan is
5 DGW33
15 DGW34
9-10 GW35 with a hit
Not sure about DGW37 yet

FHFC

Still somewhat a work in progress also but the plan is going to be:

GW33 5 dgw players and probably TC
Gw34 13 dgw players and BB
Gw35 11 players
Gw37 9 or 10 dgw players

That's with no hits.

SkySter

As said above, still work in progress but at the moment my preferred plan is:

GW33 3 dgw players (WC)- Not keen on loading up on EVE/CPL players
Gw34 14 dgw players + Kane (BB)
Gw35 11 players
Gw37 9 dgw players (TC)

That's with no hits.

jimmii

33: 6 DGWers (f it go big or go home)
34: 15 and BB
35: Probably 10
37: Not 100% but 10 or 11 and TC

Happy to risk adding 300k to my rank to give me a shot at a decent ranking. Its time to stop playing safe and try make something of the season.

skippy15

Wc 32
33 3/4 dgw
34 13 dgw mahez kane
35 11 players
37 9/10 dgw +tc....

stephenl15

33: 4
34: 13 with BB
35: 11 with a hit or two would think
37: not a clue, no point looking in depth that far ahead but will probably TC here

the risk I can see is that by going 3 Palace & 3 Everton in GW33&34 is that your other 9 realistically need to all have a game in GW35

that almost entirely rules out any Utd, West Ham or Watford players, in favour of Palace players who are away to Arsenal & Utd in GW34 (unless of course you're planning to spend points in GW34 to swap out Palace players)

spock.

No wildcard.

33: 3 with a -8
34: 13 BB
35: 10 + 1FT for 11:
37: 7 with 2 FTs. Will probably take a hit for 10

Won't have 3 Palace for 34 that's for sure! Will be using the 2fts to tidy it up for 34.

It'll work itself out!

GW 33 : 5 DGW
GW 34 : 15 DGW (BB)
GW 35 : 11 (AOA)
GW 37 : 9 DGW (TC)

Is how things are looking currently, but subject to change

Necronomicon

Starting to get worried about the modest number of DGW players I have. No WC and the following can be achieved without hits, so I'm sure I could up the ante a little bit:

GW33: 2 DGW players (feasibly 3, if I'm brave enough for double Everton def.)
GW34: 9 DGW players (TC)
GW35: 10 players
GW37: Unknown (aim for 12-15 w/BB)

Thing is, using my TC rather than BB in GW34, I'd have serious selection headaches with any more DGW players. Right now it's:

DGW
DGW DGW DGW
DGW DGW DGW Mahrez
DGW DGW Kane

If I get another DGW'er in for one of my bench players, it means benching for Mahrez or Kane, which I'm reluctant to do right now.

keano_afc

I have no f*cking idea. Far too much to consider. Head is melted at the thought if it.

What's your WC team shaping up as too do this?

Sooner or Later

GW33: WC 4 DGW
GW34: 13 DGW (BB)
GW35: 11 (2 FT and a 4 point hit)

Is as far as I have planned so far

TacT

banked as many transfers as I could and now we'll have 6/7 for the 2nd DGW and none for the first!

iroced

GW32: screw-up dramatically the WC.
GW33: forced adjustment previously failed WC. Original plan (OP) was 4 DGWers with TC. TC impossible now. Should have 4 DGWers min.
GW34: BB. OP was 12-14 DGWers. Will probably go 13 min now.
GW35: OP was 11 using my saved 2 FT. Not sure now. May have to take a hit. Depends on 33.
GW36: OP was 11 and holding transfer. Should be the same.
GW37: OP was 7 + 2 (2 FT) min. Now will HAVE to TC this week. May go all in for this one and take punts & hits (lost 27 pts today so will have to try and get them back somewhere).

Somewhere will try to fit the AOA. Only 2 options: GW36 or 38. 35 impossible since I won't have 8 available attackers.

shineon23

Wildcard played ahead of GW 32

GW 33: 4 DGW, (TC)

GW 34: 15 DGW (BB)

GW 35: 10 or 11.

GW 37: 7 DGW'er for now,
Might throw in some more in next few weeks, my head is still melted from playing my wildcard so can't look that far ahead.

I miscalculated slightly - i would have to take a (-4) hit in GW 35 to field 11

this is what i was thinking at the time of posting

Robles - Hennessy
Funes Mori - Bellerin - Darmian - Evans - Delaney
Ozil - Sanchez - Coutinho - Wijnaldum - Payet
Aguero - Mitrovic - Lukaku

However, the rebirth of KDB means I'm giving up on my 5 DGW for this week plan. Might still aim for 4 though and I still plan to AOA in 35.

My team will likely look very different to the one above, lol

IsMiseMyself

33: 4 DGWers - maybe 3 only. Not terribly excited by Palace/Everton players.
34: 13 DWers, BB
35: 10 players with no hit

Sooner or Later

A bit clearer now:

GW33: WC (done) 4 DGW
GW34: 13 DGW (BB)
GW35: 11 (10 + FT)
GW37: 10 DGW (8 + 2FT) TC

First draft of WC done:

GW 33: 4 DGW
GW 34: 14 DGW + Mahrez + BB (can't bring myself to sell Mahrez)
GW 35: 8 (but bank transfer from GW 34 and take the -4 for a full team)
GW 37: 7 (but bank transfer from GW 36 to get 9 DGW + TC)

Mint Sauce

Survive.

GW33 2 DGW
GW34 9 DGW TC
GW35 11 Players No Subs.

GW37 ?? DGW BB

Chesty08

GW33 5 DGW. AOA or TC
GW34 15 DGW. BB
GW35 9 or 10 with hit still undecided
GW36 AOA if not used
GW37 10 or 11 DGW depending if I take hit GW35

lougal88

GW33 - 4 DGW.
GW34 - 14/15 DGW - dependent on keeping Riyad. BB.
GW35 - 9 currently. Hoping to get 10. Will try to bring Kane back in.
GW37 - 9 currently. Probably get to 11 with a hit. TC.

Most likely taking 3 hits of -4. But reckon its worth it to take full advantage of the doubles.

Cartman78

GW33 - 4 DGW (Coleman, Lennon, Lukaku and Bolasie)

GW34 - 14 DGW - Coutinho/Firminio FT for Bolasie after GW 33

Keeping Fuchs and using BB.


GW35 - will have 10 with no hits (Martial transfer out to somebody), need to play a revolutionary 4-3-2 formation or take hit to draft in a midfielder.

GW37 -???? My brain hasn't gone this far forward yet. No plan for TC either...

Scorpion Sting

GW33 - Wildcard with 3 DGWers

Now here's my difficulty. I'd like to TC Sanchez in 34 with the form he's been showing and his lovely fixtures but I'm planning on having 13 DGWers so I think a BB would be more logical than a TC with that amount of DGWers as some will be benched and I may as well not have them for that week. Should I aim for the Sanchez TC but with less DGWers? I'd be keeping Kane and Mahrez for a start and may opt for Simpson as well which would be 3 SGWers.

GW35 - Will hopefully have 11 with free transfers getting me to the desired amount.

GW37 - 8/9 as it stands which is why I think a TC here makes more sense than a BB.


Although I know what some people have been saying that a BB doesn't necessarily have to be played during a DGW so I'll have to check on the fixtures for 36 and see what way I can go about it.

Anyone else in the same predicament re TC Sanchez vs BB in GW34?

Had a look at it but with 15 DGWs for GW34 , I'm not changing and going with BB.

My instinct is lets say average GW score.. 55 (someone correct me). 1 player equals 5 points per game.

4 players x 8 games = 40 points.

Will Sanchez score 40 points over 2 games?

Doubtful that he will. There are also good options in week 37 like Payet or a Liverpool attacker so if I opt for my TC there I don't think I'll be losing out by much on those who TC in week 34. It's just there's a certain allure with Sanchez and those fixtures.

Honestly I have no faith over Payet over 2 games or a Liverpool attacker.. Be rotated or rested over them games

dsmythy

0.8 in bank.

GW 33 - WC, 3 DGW

GW 34 - BB, 14 DGW

GW 35 - 10 players before 2 FT

GW 37 - God knows. With current WC team and if I was a mad bollocks and refused to do transfers I'd have 7 DGW one of whom would receive the honour of TC choice.

Dempsey

Is everyone getting rid of Spurs players ahead of 34?

Thinking of Shipping Alderweireld in a GW33 WC

clairewithani

Week 33 5 DGW
Week 34 13 DGW Bench Boost
Week 35 Only 8.

Rikand

Ended up going with

GW 33 - 4 DGW
GW 34 - 14 DGW BB
GW 35 - 8. AOA and will probably take a -4 to get 11

El festino

Do people have any chips left? Triple captain left for me.
After the carnage that has been this week, I really need to get this one right to gain on lost ground. Aguero against Stoke is tempting but the chances are him and KdB will be rested.

Other possibilities are:
Kane - West Brom (GW 35)
Sanchez - Norwich (GW 36)
Sturridge/Firmino/Coutinho - Watford/Chelsea (GW 37)
Payet - Swansea/Man Utd (GW 37)
Random punt last gameweek - Arsenal home to Villa / City away Swansea /


Sturridge is very tempting in GW37 but depends on Europa League.

siblers

Possibly Lukaku in 37 if Everton don't have a final, it'll largely depend if clubs are in other cup competitions, the dgw fixtures in 37 aren't really great, no team have stand out games.

Iused2likebusts

I think the problem with the chips was that gw34 was the best option for both BB and TC. Meaning that any gain you may have made from a big 13 dgw + BB would come close to being matched by far less dgw players and a TC.

Torricelli

Defoe has two home games in GW37. It's a punt but not as crazy as it seems.

siblers

My WC failed and my BB failed (spectacularly) so at this stage I'm just tempted to lob it on Pelle next week and have the fecking thing over with, it feels like the BB chip has ruined my season.

FHFC

Chipless. Thank fcuk.

keano_afc

TC left. This was the week I planned to use it on Aguero but thought bench boost was better option. Just been burned by him too much this season 78pts v 19pts on my bench. Spectacular fail.

Your bench got 19 pts (so far?)
TC'ing Aguero would have gotten you 26 pts.
You only lost 7 points.

You're pointing out the fundamental flaw in how people are viewing the chips and esp the TC, as per previous lengthy discussion on the DGW thread culminating in my piece for FFS.

Aguero (78) looks really cool on your points page but the TC got you 26. Yes it was the best TC option of the season so far (ahead of Aguero in GW8 by 1 point) but even if Sanchez just gets 3 more points for his TCers this week the advantage you're getting from an Aguero TC is just 14 points.

If your BB gains you 20 to 25 points this week and you get any kind of decent TC in 36 or 37 the final result after all the huffing and puffing and weeping and wailing will be much of a muchness.

Unless you TCd Fcukaku in 33. But even then its a loss of 22 points. While hopefully playing BB well this week will gain some of that back for me.

Even as a GW33 Lukaku TCer I reckon my TC+BB won't be more than 10 points or so behind the average. If people get 40pts out of both combined its a good return.

A 19 point BB with TC still to play is a great result.

Iused2likebusts

You should get a boost from a wildcard a tc and a bb. It doesn't matter when you get that boost it's all about your end of season score. I think a lot of people like the idea of getting that big boost at the end. Of the 3 chips above I only see value in the tc being used in a dgw. The bb and wildcard should be used whenever it suits your team.

Yeah. I think the biggest change is the freedom to use the second WC when you want rather than only in Jan.

If you use it to fix your team if it's in a mess you should get a decent boost. If you use it to prepare for DGWs (without BB) you should get a decent boost.

Its the BB and TC which I think will only make marginal difference to your final points and rank vs everyone else who got one of each too. Nice to nail it by going for Aguero this week for sure and you'll shoot up the rankings. But cold hard points gained vs rivals may be single figures.

I didn't even normal captain Aguero and am well ahead of most Aguero TCers this GW. But thats not from my BB really, its more from a decent wildcard plan and 2 good/lucky transfers post wildcard.

Mint Sauce

Had 11 DGW players this week with an eight point hit. Currently 10 players for GW35 at a four pint hit, and that will be it unless get a couple more injuries. So far 8 DGW players for GW37 with TC remaining.

I am not getting your maths here. If Sanchez gets 3 more points he is on 12 and the little Kun is on 26. That's a point difference of 14 before you TC. So the difference between Aguero TC over Sanchez TC is three times 14 = 42. Or put another way three times 26 is 78, three times 12 is 36.

Needless to say I went with the herd and chose Sanchez. I am amazed Aguero and De Bruyne started both matches. It was the first time I consulted the captain thread this season. I have Ozil and Payet too. At least I didn't go for those. (Now watch hat-tricks for both will automatically follow.)

The gain you get from playing the TC chip as opposed to just normal captaining is 1 times the players score. That's what the TC gets you. The other points are down to (a) deciding to own the player and (b) deciding to captain him.

If you didn't captain Aguero at all you lose another 14 points in this example but thats nothing to do with the TC.

People who TC Aguero this week get an extra 26 points over what they would otherwise have got.

He's assuming one owns both players. With A = player pts, B = captain pts & C = TC points, you only "lose" from B & C if you own both. So in his example, it's a 28 pts diff.

You're kinda playing with words here . Anyone who owns both Sanchez & Aguero had a 50/50 choice for TC this week (in theory the best GW for TC on paper). So your (C) choice and TC choice are the same. Isolating them doesn't really make any sense. If Sanchez only gets 3 tonight, you lose 28 pts from the Agüero TCers. Now you may account half those pts to your captain choice but again it doesn't make much sense, you can't have Agüero (C) for "B" and Sanchez TC for "C" :pac:.

If you WC with BB & TC in mind, your way of looking at it doesn't really match the full picture IMO because the team you got (with your WC) will impact several of your following GWs. So, isolating the chips to look at their impact just when you used it/them is kinda wrong in practice. It is my case. My "failed" WC team is completely different from my pre-WC team. So my decisions to BB in 34 and TC in 37 will impact all my GWs from 33 (WC week) to 38 whatever I do!

Most important word: should.
Vaue: none so far :pac:.

More seriously, as I said above, the boost or anti-boost you get from your chips in the case of a post WC use designed for them is longer than the sole use of the chip.
And about the timing, the GW30-37 "chaos" this year with a huge blank in 30 and huge double in 34 mislead many of the late WCers. "Killed" many of our seasons...
