    I had very high hopes for Kramaric after seeing him on MOTD a few times a couple of months ago, don't know what Pearson sees as a problem but if Nugent was fully ready for either game it's likely that he'll be warming the bench for most of the time, it'd be a risk too far in my opinion.
    I'm hanging tough with Nugent and hoping for the best, don't see any value in an extra -4.
    My transfers will be a fairly boring -4 to bring in Sterling and Henderson for Siggy and Mane, it'll leave me with a fairly paltry 6 dgw's including Nugent, hoping for no clean sheets for Liverpool or Leicester, really don't want to risk making changes that I'll quicklywant to reverse. I've been baiting ye with my Fabregas talk but nobody has bitten, need him to stay under 7 or 8 points for the week.

    Bench Kane away to Southampton or Bolasie at home to Hull?

    Normally this would be a no brainer, but Southampton have an excellent defensive record at home.

    Still mulling over a further -4 to bring on skertl fof Bertrand and double him up with mignolet ..........

    Mulling a -4 for Skrtel myself, he would be coming in for Bellerin.
    Leaning against it at the moment.

    Next 2 GWs:
    Skrtel: (-4), WBA (A), Hull (A), QPR (H)
    Wollscheid: Sun (H GW35) and PVA: Sou (H GW36)

    If I don't bring in Skrtel I would be starting Wollscheid and PVA in the games above - plus not bringing in Skrtel would leave me the cash for a Kane to Benteke move next week.

    dont think I'm doing it either
    I'll just play Bertie
    sure he might pop up with a goal !

    Did a -8 for seven DGWers. Go hard or go home!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,502 ✭✭✭OneColdHand


    I was all set to do Remy to Giroud next week, but now I'm thinking of doing it this week. Doesn't look like Remy will see much time in the DGW, so trying to weigh up dumping him. I'm not convinced by the Leicester (or Hull for that matter) striker options, and if I did go for one i'd be moving him on next week for Giroud anyway.

    Only issue is it's effectively for -4, as I've others I want to bring in. So the question is will Giroud outscore Remy, (or Boyd, who would play in his place if he doesn't make an appearance), by 4? Maybe not.

    Play Albrighton or Kane?

    Buy Mig or Schmeichel?

    This is exactly what I'm thinking. Was going to do Remy to Giroud next week but tempted to do it this week or maybe go for a Hull or Leicester striker? If I don't Boyd will come in who has a decent fixture. Headwrecking!

    In my 4 years of fantasy football I've never done more than a -4, tempted to break that trend tonight :eek:. Remy is a real pain for me right now, he'd be the one I'd sacrifice for the -8, alternatively I could just start him and hope he plays a part in one of the two games or have puncheon come in instead.

    I'd just play puncheon so or take the hit

    I've thought about it all week, and just did my transfers without any more thought, and sort of messed up my team, but now i have 9 DGW :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,263 ✭✭✭harpstilidie


    N'Doye or Hernandez worth a gamble? Would be taking out Remy. Don't fancy any Leicester forwards. So one of those or Giroud?

    I think I've decided to keep Remy. I was going to bring in Hendo and Sterling for Eriksen and Mane for -4, but I can afford to keep Mane and dump Boyd, giving me a front 8 of:

    HAZARD - STERLING - HENDO - Silva - Mane
    Aguero - REMY - Kane

    Just need to pick one of Mane, Remy and Kane to bench - actually a pretty tough decision. Mane is the shortest odds to score this weekend, though Remy obviously has the opportunity to for minute in his 2nd game.

    I don't think a Hull striker is worth -4. Palace are in good form, and Hull have scored 1 goal in their last 4 away games. Their other game is Liverpool.

    You need your Hull striker to score, to break even with your sub (Boyd, right?). I'm not sure that's likely to happen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 784 ✭✭✭FrClintPower


    Anyone have clean sheet odds - wondering whether Alderweireld home to Spurs or Fernandez (Swa) away to Newcastle is the better bet.

    Neither of then are worth the value, i think Hernandez is 6.6:eek::eek:

    Also shouldn't just look at it as a one week punt, Giroud would be better value and more likely to score v chelsea and in any game for the rest of the season

    The last 3 Arsenal-Chelsea (in the PL) were 0-0, 1-2 & 0-0 (and the Capital One Cup was 0-2) so it appears to be THE GW to bench any Arsenal attacker and/or gamble on a DGWer instead.

    The first one is tricky. In a way it depends on how safe you want to play. The differential approach would be to take the punt on Albrighton (though is he really nailed on, I have to admit I have no idea). Of course it could backfire but it's hard to imagine Southampton conceding many goals at home where they've been so strong all season.

    For the second one, depends on your def. I would not double up. So if you have a Pool or Leicester def I'd go for the other GK. If you have none, it gets complicated. Both teams have pretty good fixtures coming up afterwards. So it could depend on who's your other GK.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,656 ✭✭✭Western Pomise


    Start Rooney or Kane?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 15,257 Mod ✭✭✭✭FutureGuy


    Still undecided as to the exact make up of my WC team. Going to sleep on it. Either 9 or 10 DGW players.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,618 ✭✭✭The Sparrow


    Tempted to take a punt on Costa. Madness?

    I'd be transferring him out for Rooney (who has a terrible record at Everton) and it would cost me 4 points.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,134 ✭✭✭NabyLadistheman


    Gonna bench Kane, wish me luck!

    So am I so the very best of luck to you :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,502 ✭✭✭spock.


    Benching Kane :rolleyes:
    I sold him weeks ago.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,449 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Currently hovering over a -12:

    Foster to Schmeichel
    Bellerin to Skrtel
    Silva to Sterling
    Mané to Henderson

    Been a while since I've taken such a big hit, may need some Dutch courage to help make me hit the button :o

    Went with Hendo over Sterling (in for Silva) in the end. Fingers crossed that doesn't come back to bite me. :pac: 6 DGWers. Hazard captained. Let's see what happens!
