Careful of Aguero in the team. He's threatening to drop in price. Rashford too.

Trimm Trabb · 10-04-2019 7:44am

Just noticed that Ward-Prowse has got 6 goals in last 11 games..

Any idea how he has managed this? Is there underlying stats to back this form up or is it a lucky streak?

Moura is a really interesting pick, I like it

Ryan Foster
Laporte Duffy Doherty Valery Robertson
Sterling Son Mané Pogba Redmond
Aguero Jiminez Deeney

Few changes post Kane injury

United team tonight might change it again

Mainly brilliant free kicks!

The real mccoy 91 · 10-04-2019 12:20pm

Hadnt wanted to tinker with the team at all yet but no kane opens up so many options

A

Lloris Ryan

Valery cathcart dunk jonny taa

Son martial sterling kdb hazard

Firmino rashford deeney

B

Lloris Ryan

Valery Duffy laporte robbo Doherty

Hazard sterling son kdb camarasa

Jiminez rashford deeney

With camarasa being upgraded next week

I'm half tempted by auba again though surely emery learned his lesson now that he can't drop him but trying to second guess will come back to bite me I feel

Has to be lloris really even with a clean sheet Ryan will have plenty of chances to score better with 2 games. That's my thinking atm not set in stone

Benimar · 10-04-2019 3:40pm

With Kane out, I can see many bringing in Aguero. However, looking at my team with Aguero, Sterling and enough cash for Laporte, I don't feel comfortable.

Aguero is only back from injury, subbed early last night and might now have a few '60 minute' games like earlier in the season. Sterling won't play every game, but will definitely play the CL game and Laporte surely can't do it 3 DGWs in a row!

Citys fixtures aren't great either.

Am I mad to go with either Sterling OR Aguero? If its Sterling I'll keep Vardy, and sub him out for Firmino in GW36. If I keep Aguero, Sterling becomes Eriksen/Alli and I use the spare funds to upgrade elsewhere.

Benimar · 11-04-2019 10:50am

Has anyone playing the WC this week looked at the TC35, BB36 approach?

Looking at it from a pure 'numbers' point of view lets assume people would have 3 SGW players in GW35 - not unrealistic given Liverpool have Cardiff, Chelsea have Burnley and Bournemouth have Fulham.

That means a BB35, TC36 approach gives 42 players over the two weeks (35: 1 x 4 games (DGW captain),11 x 2 games, 3 x 1 game. 36: 1 x 3 games (TC), 10 x 1 game)

A TC35, BB36 approach gives 39 players (35: 1 x 6 games (DGW player TCd), 7 x 2 games and 3 x 1 game. 36: 1 x 2 games (captain), 14 x 1 game). This could be increased by leaving out a SGW player for another DGWer)

Therefore, there is essentially little difference in 'number of players'. In fact how many DGWers will play both games? However, it means:
- possibility of TC on Aguero, Deeney, Jiminez, Sterling, Son etc in a DGW. Who would be the go to option in GW36?
- We will all have Brighton defenders. A BB in GW35 gives wol/tot, whereas in 36 they have NEW. It's not unrealistic to think the Newcastle game could garner more points.
- The City, Spurs, Watford and Wolves fixtures in GW36 aren't bad (imagine an exact repeat of the cup SF!)
- From a personal point of view my BB would be Ryan, Valery, Duffy and JWP. How may points will they realistically get in GW35? The 3 defensive players could easily concede in both games.

Any thoughts?

steve_r · 11-04-2019 12:05pm

If you have the TC chip still left, would you not use it for Liverpool's home game against Hudersfield?

I do agree that with what you are saying above, if you go TC 35 and BB 36 the you would have broadly the same amount of players playing.

Would you not be better getting rid of your Brighton players after GW 34?

Personally if I was BB in a SGW I'd rather load up on players with good fixtures that week that I'd be happy with for the rest of the season. I' already worried about getting rid of my Brighton players after GW35!

This is my current WC draft
Ryan Foster
Laporte Robertson Coady Duffy Valery

Eriksen Sterling Son Jota Camarasa

Aguero Rashford Jiminez

Dearg81 · 11-04-2019 12:54pm

Good team. My first draft is similar with 10 of the same players:

Ryan Foster
Kola Duffy Laporte Trippier Robertson
Sterling Eriksen Mane Jota Camaraso(JWP for 35)
Kane Jiminez Deeney

Camaraso has 2 games this week so I'll swap to JWP next week. I'll be bench boosting next week too but Im 0.5 short on an upgrade of Sterling to Salah for Huddersfield in GW36 so I'll need to downgrade someone.

I've changed 4 players with the Kane injury. In come Doherty, Son, Salah and Aguero for Kola, Sterling, Mane and Kane and 2.3M left over for upgrading Camaraso:

Ryan Foster
Doherty Duffy Laporte Trippier Robertson
Salah Eriksen Son Jota Camaraso
Aguero Jiminez Deeney

It's a bit "safe" but I made a mess of my free hit team in the last DGW so keeping it simple this time.

NabyLadistheman · 11-04-2019 2:53pm

----- Foster --- Ryan

--- TAA -- Laporte -- Doherty -- Dunk-- Valery

- Sterling -- Salah -- Son -- Maddison -- Cameresa

Deeney -- Vardy -- Jimenez

Amended team with no Kane. I'm 50/50 on Aguero. Have left enough cash to upgrade Vardy to Kun next Gameweek

Also considering Eriksen instead of Maddison. Then a -4 next week of Eriksen ---> Redmond & Vardy ---> Aguero. Need to see if that will be worth it

Still plenty of tweaking to do. I may consider swapping Salah to Mane which will allow me to upgrade Trent to Robbo and more cash elsewhere....

Ryan Foster
Laporte Robertson Coady Duffy Valery

Eriksen Sterling Son Jota Camarasa

Aguero Rashford Jiminez

Which Liverpool player though? Mane has cooled off and neither Salah or Firmino are reliable at present.

I would get rid of Brighton after GW35 using my 2 FT. I didn't include that as I'd see closer to the time who I'd bring in.

Morzadec · 11-04-2019 3:08pm

Lots of options here.

Like many, I'm WCing with the view to take full advantage of BB in DGW 35.

I haven't much to lose so probably would be looking for a slightly puntier team.

Any thoughts on the below?

Loris / Foster

Laporte / Duffy / Dunk / Robbo / Bednarek

Mane / Son / Jota / Sterling / Ward-Prowse

Aguero / Deeney / Jiminez

£1.2 ITB

Likely will do Dunk to Kolasinac for GW35.

3 City
2 Spurs
2 Pool
2 Watford
2 Wolves
2 Soton
2 Brighton

Is no United a risk? Might Rashford be a better shout than Deeney (could do this by going TAA over Robbo)?

Agreed with Liverpool, however, what I'd say is that they have a few games between now and Huddersfield so one of their players could hit form/consistency, plus Huddersfield are so rancid and Liverpool have so much to play for.

stephenl15 · 11-04-2019 6:39pm

All the Deeney over Rashford love. I don't see it

Good shout, Liverpool remaining fixtures:
Chelsea (h)
Cardiff (a)
Huddersfield (h)
Newcastle (a)
Wolves (h)

Definitely keeping Robertson anyway!

Edit: fixed Huddersfield and Wolves games

Fixtures. I was thinking deeney to rashford for the last 2 games Huddersfield and Cardiff though.

ThunbergsAreGo · 11-04-2019 7:59pm

I am really struggling with this wildcard ....

extra gravy · 11-04-2019 8:24pm

To Aguero or not to Aguero...

It'll be Aguero and Mané or Sterling and Vardy.

Rest of my squad is pretty much set I think.

Same. Kinda made it easier when we had Kane to splash out on as that made everything else fit into place more!

thunderdog · 11-04-2019 9:17pm

I’ll be at a wedding tomorrow so any immediate feedback welcome as it is unlikely I’ll get to make any changes tomorrow (outside of a quick 6pm cubicle fpl change)

Ryan
Duffy Dunk Laporte
Sterling Eriksen Son(C) Jota
Vardy Jiminez Deeney

Subs Loris Mane Robertson Valery

With Kane gone there is a lot of spare cash going to upgrade most players

billymitchell · 11-04-2019 9:36pm

Not seeing much of Murray in the WC teams, is there a fear he won't be able for the 2 games this week?

bantee · 11-04-2019 9:40pm

Back to drawing board, swapping between Son & Moura and Rashford & Jiminez:
Lloris Ryan
Bednarek Robertson Duffy Cathcart Doherty
Salah Son Jota JWP Doucoure
Rashford Aguero Vardy

Doubts over Doucoure and JWP in the team but I think I’m nearly there.

Hes getting on and it's not like hes prolific hes only scored in 2 of his last 16 league games. No doubt he has it in him but it just looks very unlikely right now.

Cartman78 · 12-04-2019 9:14am

Nearly there now I think -

still not 100% on KDB

steirishrover · 12-04-2019 10:34am

Still not too sure with a couple players here. Aguero is a no brainer for me we've seen in the past he always shows up and he wasn't picked by users.

Sane is a doubt for me whether to go with or not. Worried about his game time this stage of season. Also I am about lacazette.. The options I have is either

Sane and Llorente or Lacazette and Knockaert??

Ryan

Laporte Duffy Valery

Son (C) Mane Knockaert Eriksen

Aguero Lacazette Rashford

Bench-
Dubravka TAA Doherty Doucoure

Any advice here lads?

Edit: just brought in Leno

KevIRL · 12-04-2019 10:41am

Currently on

Lloris/Gunn
Robertson/Laporte/Duffy/Valery/Boly
Son/Eriksen/KdB/Mane/Redmond (or JWP)
Aguero Deeney Jiminez

Any thoughts? have 0.1 in the bank if I go Redmond, 0.3 if I go JWP. I'm not so hot as many on Brighton's clean sheet chances and the GW35 is awful for them so am going Gunn in goal for the BB

The real mccoy 91 · 12-04-2019 10:55am

This wildcard is becoming more of a headache than a good thing who even are the essentials at this stage? Robbo or taa but no double. Only pogba and sterling out of the top 7 owned mids have doubles but pogba has dropped off so could go without him. Aguero Jiminez rashford the top 3 strikers rashford hasn't looked great recently either tho.

Im set on

Lloris Ryan

Duffy taa valery

Sterling son

Auba deeney

The other 6 spots I haven't got a clue

Looking at a budget backline anyway.
A wolves defender either Doherty jonny or coady. Probably cathcart too as Watford cover.

Am considering siggy for this week and upgrade to a doubler next week. But then do I splash out for aguero or get kdb as city cover. Does hazard make the cut? I had been set on him second guessing now. Probably need a United attacker pogba martial or rashford. Or will Lukaku get enough minutes to justify him? Be a nice differential. If no Jiminez id like jota.

i'm not doubling up on Brighton for the exact same reason.

extra gravy · 12-04-2019 11:18am

Currently on triple Wolves but feeling a bit uneasy about it. Doherty and Jiminez are dead certs, is Jota as well overkill?

Just spotted I could dump Gunn and bring in Foster if I went JWP and not Redmond. hmmm

NabyLadistheman · 12-04-2019 11:50am

More or less final draft here:

Foster -- Ryan

Robertson -- Verthonghen -- Valery -- Duffy -- Boly

Sterling -- Mane -- Erikson -- Son --- Hojbjerg

Deeney -- Jimenez -- Vardy

2.8 left in the bank to upgrade Vardy ---> Aguero if need be. Could also use the cash to get Salah back in if he takes fire. Just swapped Laporte out for Verthonghen. Spurs fixtures are decent outside of the City fixture, ( Brighton & West Ham at home) & he's a guaranteed starter. Plenty for bench boost in GW35 & also a tentative eye on the remainder of the season. Hop I've found the right balance

ScummyMan · 12-04-2019 11:50am

Ryan
Duffy Laporte Doherty
Sterling Mane Son(c) Redmond
Aguero Jiminez Vardy

Speroni Robbo Camerasa Valery

Finally settled on this one I think.

Rikand · 12-04-2019 11:56am

Team almost set

Ryan Leno
Robertson Duffy Bednarek Kolasinac Laporte
Sterling Son Eriksen Jota Camarasa
Aguero Jiminez [Lacazette]

Laca is the only one I'm undecided on. I kinda feel like I want arsenal attacking coverage. I could afford PEA either as I still have 1.7m in the bank. Is kolasinac enough coverage for them?

I could get rashford either for united coverage of which I have no players. Possibly go deeney too. Not sure I want to go vardy as I plan for Robbo to be my only non doubler in 35 as I'll swap out camarasa for a doubler then.

Hadnt thought of this. RMT has Vardy to outscore Aguero slightly this week, the fixture is more appealing for sure.

Bournemouth will likely score against them. Don't fancy Cardiff's chance of scoring though. If they get a cleanie against Bournemouth in the first game then lips will be getting licked at the thought of the end of GW score.

You'll need money in the bank anyway if you plan on upgrading Camerasa without a hit.

2.6 in the bank for Vardy to Auba.

Are you BB in 35? I'd be worried having 3 Brighton away to Wolves and Spurs to be honest.

Interesting you don't have Sterling. I'm looking at either Aguero or Sterling, but can't decide!
