    If firmino is fit he would be a great punt. I don't think I'll be selling hazard. There has to be a fair chance he will play.

    Lots of tight calls to be made. Will be a worry for people that have bought Sturridge or Origi if Firmino is fit.

    Hazard is another difficult call as he could very easily start on the bench.

    Gabbiadini also a concern for the weekend if he starts tonight.

    Plenty of concerns all round.

    Edit - owners of Sane and Jesus have to be worried too about Sterling coming back in.

    I'm thinking of taking a -4 for Costa, Hazard and Ox to Sanchez, Coutinho and Rondon.

    Agree with all that . I think Jesus will definetly start though he is peps man.

    This is a tough one...apart from Gabbiadini, there is no one in my squad that I am in a hurry to sell...

    Caballero
    Bertrand - Cahill - Mawson
    Sanchez - Eriksen - King - Pedro - DeBruyne
    Kane - Jesus
    SUBS: Holding, Yoshida, Gabbiadini,

    Caballero - Fine for the GW
    Bertrand - Good fixture
    Cahill - Perhaps a risk to start
    Mawson - Good fixture, likes a goal
    Sanchez - FINALLY on form, Arsenal need to score lots
    Eriksen - Good fixture, great stats and fantastic away from home recently
    King - Is King
    Pedro - Should start, great fixture
    DeBruyne - City need a draw but will probably go for the win.
    Kane - Hmm, not amazing away from home but lots of rivals have him
    Jesus - Great form, great fixture, needs a win

    Holding - Could play him over Cahill
    Gabbiadini - awful choice, want to sell
    Yoshida, great sub in case rotation hits


    So apart from Gabbiadini, I'm not sure I want to sell anyone. However, I really think I need to bring in Liverpool coverage, with Coutinho an absolute must for me. They could score 4 goals against Boro.

    Have Costa and Pedro.
    Isn't Conte likely to start close to his full team in last league game?.....to give them a runout before the weeks rest for Cup Final.

    Don't know why but am a bit worried he might not start Pedro at the weekend.

    I think I'm going to be incredibly boring and make a defensive transfer for GW38:
    Monreal --> Matip

    Jesus has had a tough run of games since coming back from injury. I'm inclined to agree with you but I wouldn't be shocked to see him on the bench.

    Most times I see your posts you are about to do what I've planned or you are thinking along the same lines as me but that is a weird asś transfer.

    Yeah I might not do it, I don't want to sell any of my front 7 though.
    I'd be banking a transfer if it was any week other than GW38.

    Fighting an insane battle within myself not to take a hit this week, but Kane, Coutinho and Sturridge are all waving frantically at me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,238 ✭✭✭✭Cartman78


    Looking at something like Sane or Alli out for Coutinho or Lallana, and possibly Giroud out for Sturridge :eek:

    Giroud has been something of a minor legend over the recent DGW's but I fear his time of being useful may be coming to an end.

    Very similar to me
    I'm finding it hard to pick my team !
    I know I will not have a goalie so that would be the sensible move but Alli to coutinho is also tempting
    Gabbi will be sub cos the only one I can afford is llorente and there is no way I'm reversing that transfer to then watch llorente blank and Gabbi score
    Gabbi will more than likely be 1st sub for me depending on tonight

    Gabbi walker and Baines out ake Bavies and sturridge in

    I'd be very surprised if Ake plays. Chelsea will be (close to) full strength.

    I would have thought the opposite tbh I can see alot of squad players getting a run out and saving the big guns for cup final. Could you imagine the backlash if hazard got injured in a nothing game and missed a cup final?

    They were rested on Monday. There is no way that Conte goes into a cup final with his starting XI not having played for 15 days.

    Hazard might sit out as he played Monday and Terry might play as its his last game. Outside of that it will be full strength without a doubt.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,960 ✭✭✭Bleating Lamb


    Will see how tomorrow night goes first but considering Alli to Coutinho
    Kos to Azpil

    I think Conte will start his usual strongest team at wkd and take off likes of Costa, Hazard after 60 mins.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 729 ✭✭✭slimshady007


    Mazzarri sacked. Lots of stories about how the dressing room have turned. Could be a field day for City on Sunday as can't see him been bothered about the result.

    As long as its 60 mins and not 59!

    They didn't really play that way on Monday all the same.

    I have both Sanchez and Ozil, which has worked great for the back to back DGWs, but I'm slightly worried about having both for the final day. Does Wenger play a full strength team ahead of the cup final, on the minute chance Boro do them a favour at Anfield?

    They have to do everything to try finish top 4.
    They have 6 days to recover.

    Top 4 > FA cup for Arsenal.

    If you trust the bookies it's about a 16-20% chance Liverpool don't win. That's surely enough of a chance to be making sure you've done your part incase this comes to fruition.

    Indeed. If Liverpool are 5 up at half time maybe then they'll take players off. But they all start.

    Pretty much. I'm highly unconvinced that a rest a week before the next game produces positive results for most players in any case.

    In situations where you're playing 3 games in a week, then very frequently something has to give, but a week between games is ideal for managing the balance between freshness and momentum.

    Solid arguments, thanks all.

    Jesus needs the win, but KDB needs a draw. Interesting to see which will triumph :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    Gabbiadini -> An inanimate carbon rod which would be more useful than Gabbi has been over his double double.

    Or I might settle for a -4 and have just 14 players in my squad for the final week.

    You sir have made a very powerful enemy tonight!

    *daydreams about Graz Pelle, an Italian striker for Southampton you could trust*

    Yes indeed. There is a dead pigeon carcass decaying at the bottom of my garden for the last few weeks. Gabbiadini -> Dead pigeon carcass.
