    So unless I get a load of injuries, heres the plan...

    GW36. Firmino to Sanchez. TC on Sanchez. 3 DGW players.

    Heaton
    Valencia Walker Cédric
    King Sanchez(TC) WardProwse Alli
    Vardy Benteke Kane

    GW37. Sanchez to Hazard, Bentake to Jesus. BB. Captainacy on Hazard. 11 DGW players. 4pt hit.

    Heaton Pickford
    Valencia Gibson Cédric Walker Mawson
    Hazard(C) Alli Capoue King WardProwse
    Jesus Vardy Kane

    GW38. No clue yet, but will have 1.2 in bank at current values.

    Not great but hoping will get me a top 150k finish, after a dire start, and all the way through to GW20, most of which outside the top million. Since rised up to the top 180k.

    -4 gives me.

    Pickford Jak
    Bailly Bertrand Fuchs Mawson Kelly
    Sanchez Eriksen King Tadic Grosicki
    Costa Kane Jesus

    BB this week. 10 of my starting 11 with DGW next week then. AOA then GW38

    Will go - 8 Kelly to 4.4. Stalled on dodgy Southampton triple up and let Yoshida go unaffordable. Stephens a no for the same dodginess. Maguire the likely go to guy. Should Wes Morgan not be fit would love to get that 4.0 guy. Benalouane I think it is. Holgate another popular down low price but I've little faith in Everton right now.

    So it's looking like an 11 plus added fighting Hull and Mawson for my BB.

    My main issue is Gabbi, he frees up funds but Southampton seem to be on the beach and theres a good chance Puel with give JRod /Long games to prove they should stay for next season.
    Charlie Austin is back too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,267 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    Looking at something like below for WC
    Cech/Pickford
    Azpi/Stephens/Holgate/Chambers/4.2 DEF
    Sane/Eriksen/Sanchez/Hazard/King
    Jesus/Kane/Gabbi

    Leaves me with a strong front 8 for BB I reckon with King my one SGW player. Also 2 Goalies with DGW and 2 DEF. Holgate is a cheap enabler and Chambers will prob go so need 2 more cheap defenders.

    My main issue is Gabbi, he frees up funds but Southampton seem to be on the beach and theres a good chance Puel with give JRod /Long games to prove they should stay for next season. Who do people reckon is the best cheap 3rd striker for the DGW? Had Rashford before WC but dont think he'll get the gametime

    Gabbi to Anichebe, then beef up your defense. Chambers to Vertonghen, 4.2 def to Stones (if he's going to be back?)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,771 ✭✭✭Thepoet85


    Thoughts on this for the remaining weeks lads? I'm on my wc and think I'm happy with it:

    Cabellero Pickford

    Yoshida Stephens Monreal Bavies Holgate

    Hazard Sanchez Alli King Albrighton

    Costa Kane Jesus.

    It gives me 4 Dgw players for 36 and 13 for 37.

    I've zero in the bank and I'm 30 behind the leader in a ml, who has tc and bb left. I think I've 2nd secured but not sure I can catch first.

    Here's what I've cobbled together and 0.2 ITB.

    DCZhgbc.jpg

    Observation 1: I'm broke

    Observation 2: It's got too much Southampton

    Observation 3: Dude, WTF? Seriously just forget about PVA. But for who?

    Observation 4: Due to observation 1 I've got serious lopsided midfield

    Observation 5: I've got no United or Spurs defence

    Observation 6: I'd love to turn Gabbi into someone like Vardy/Costa or somebody with a chance of scoring goals.

    Observation 7: Turning to Jesus when our Saviour is down really makes the team a little more balanced.....ish!

    Do we know anything about Luiz/Ake?

    So wise folk of the FSA boards:

    Have I got the template right? Is there something else I've missed?

    I'm going for a lie down now in a darkened room :pac:

    Gabriel, Holgate & Costa for monreal pva & kane might let you get sane (or walcott) for capoue?

    I owned Gabriel for the double last season.

    I will not make that mistake again :o

    No way would I drop Kane for a double, even for Costa. Although an upgrade on Capoue would be nice.

    I want all the fun toys :(

    Haha. Nothing else overly obvious I can see then. I seem to have spent feck all on my defence. Might downgrade sane and get in a better defender.

    If de Gea starts tomorrow night I'll be selling him
    But I'll still be left with Valencia who I'd rather sell for monreal .
    Randolph as back up keeper though whereas I have 5 starting defenders so may have to

    With eriksen and Alli already in team which of these makes more sense.

    Kane out for vardy
    King out for Albrighton.

    Surely I keep Kane?

    I need to create 1.0 for my wildcard team.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,681 ✭✭✭COH


    Went with

    Caballero/Pickford
    Monreal/Gabriel/Vertongen/Yoshida/Stephens
    Sanchez/Alli/Pedro/Sane/King
    Costa/Jesus/Gabby-da-ba-doo

    Left with 0.0ITB



    Not thrilled with it - The three So'ton lads could be rotated as well as Gabriel & Pedro but not sure what to do as my team value was crap before WC'ing.

    Will you captain Kane any of the 3 remaining gameweeks? If not then you might argue he's expendable with funds better distributed elsewhere (plus the option of a Spurs defender). Costa and Jesus kind of the obvious choices both with amazing fixtures

    no I wouldn't be captaining him. could do wonders elsewhere, particulary in defence by getting in gabbiadini for kane, Jesus and costa are my other 2 strikers.

    hopefully we'll have aguero news tomorrow and it'll help me decide.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,306 ✭✭✭-=al=-


    Anyone going for Cabalerro and Cech? Seems safest way into a the arse/city defence and Save points too.

    Wouldn't go without Kane for the remainder myself.

    I'm first in the mini league for the first time this season by 2 points and the rivals don't have wild cards or bench boost so have to play it safe-ish with some of their player picks to match them and hope the bench boost double week lads do the biz


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,530 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Mustafi back in training bad for Gabriel

    Have I missed something or has Aguero died?

    Hi All,

    Any thoughts on the below - 
    Boruc - Heaton
    Gabriel - Williams - Walker - Kompany - Daniels
    Hazard - Pedro - Herrera - King - Alli
    Costa  - Rashford - Lukaka

    Few points on my thinking
    • Im in no rush to Sanchez as i think Mourinho will have a plan for him, then in 37 Hazard has equally good fixtures
    • I think Lukaka could rip Swansea and Watford new ones (Maybe swap for Kane last week)
    Questions - 
    Do people think Courtois will play every game? Worried 2nd keeper might get a run out in the final game
    Anyone think Vardy in form could have a point to prove v City and Spurs?
    Is Gabriel nailed on for Arsenal?

    A lot of rotation risks in that team. I'd avoid United outfield players as it looks like Mourinho is going to prioritise the Europa League.

    I think you definitely need some form of City attacking coverage. Swap Costa for Jesus and improve on Herrera and Rashford.

    Caballero is the best and cheapest route into City's defence so get him I think. Downgrade Boruc to Pickford.

    Of those listed defenders I'd change 4 of them (keep Daniels). Get either Yoshida or Stephens for their doubles. Robert Huth might be worth a look as he is a big threat from set pieces.

    Best of luck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,470 ✭✭✭Mr_Roger_Bongos


    Thanks for the feedback!

    Costa's 4 games are just too easy, but i've worked Rashford out for Jesus and downgraded Pedro.

    I only see Caballero getting 2 clean sheets at most from that, but i've taken Boruc out for Pickford.

    Re the defenders - I don't see any point in Yoshida or Stephens, they have Liverpool, Arsenal and Man Utd in the next 4 games and if anything could end up with minus points from Liverpool or Arsenal.

    More i think about it, Lukaku will be playing for a transfer away, think i'll keep him this week and if he doesn't score will swap him for Sanchez.

    I'm not expecting much from Yoshida/Stephens either, it's just that they're great enablers for those on a wildcard to load up on big hitters elsewhere. They might get a clean sheet against Middlesbrough and Yoshida does offer a bit of an attacking threat as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,739 ✭✭✭✭paulie21


    Cech, Pope

    Yos, Bavies, Darmian, Huth, Holgate

    Sanchez, Alli, King, Pedro, Lallana

    Gabbi, Costa, Jesus

    Only have AOA left

    Thoughts??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭shineon23


    Serious debate in Shineon HQ this evening about choosing Costa or Hazard.

    This is how I'm sitting (subs for GW 36 in brackets).

    Cech-(Willy)

    Yoshida-Alonso-Vertonghen-(Stephens-Blind)

    Sanchez (C)-Alli-Sane-King-(Romeu)

    Jesus-Kane-Costa(VC)


    Getting Hazard would mean

    Hazard in for Sane
    Gabbiadini in for Costa

    and dropping Yoshida/Stephens

    What do people favour?

    I have pretty much your second team ATM and am almost decided on leaving as is this week with enough money itb to upgrade King/Allí/sane to Hazard or Gabbi to Costa for DGW37 BB depending on how things go this week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,306 ✭✭✭-=al=-


    Going for Hazard and Jesus and no Costa. I'd like Costa but monies needed elsewhere.

    Have it down to 3 teams with 3 of the main differences in the brackets

    a - http://i.imgur.com/hZrUqaw.png

    Cab/Pickford

    Alonso - Vert - - Stephens- Holgate

    Sanchez - Haz - Ozil - Alli - King

    Kane - Jesus - Gab

    (Cab/Pickford + Gabriel - Vertongen)

    --

    b - http://i.imgur.com/t6gogMr.png

    Cab/Pickford

    Alonso - Monreal - Yoshida - Stephens - Holgate

    Sanchez - Haz - Ozil - Alli - King

    Kane - Jesus - Gab

    (Cab/Pickford + Monreal - Yoshida)

    --

    c - http://i.imgur.com/4LfszHN.png

    Cab/Lloris

    Alonso - Gabriel - Yoshida - Stephens - Holgate

    Sanchez - Haz - Ozil - Alli - King

    Kane - Jesus - Gab

    (Cab/LLoris + Gabriel and Yoshida)

    Not sure who to go for really. I'd like spurs defense in there but it's at the cost of Gabriel's minutes and rotation :/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,535 ✭✭✭Shedite27


    I'm following my own advice from last year and avoiding being sucked into the "2 games must score higher than 1" idea.

    Just Stephens for me this week.

    Hazard*1 > Sanchez*2 at the moment. Now where's that couch!

    Plan changing again me thinks. Looking at the fixtures agains, and depending on how Sanchez plays this weekend, maybe hold on to him for GW37, captain him again, and then bring in Hazard for him against Sunderland in GW38. Whilst I would like the Chesea cover, Arsenal fixtures looking more attractive, despite the current form. Plus 4 points is 4 points at this stage.

    As for this DGW, not sure I have least looked forward to one. Sanchez has me on a knife edge.
