How many DGW players will you field in GW 34?

Post by thekrumcake »

The forums are really quiet now, and this is the only new topic I could think of... :|

If anyone wants to discuss the merits of having any number of DGW players or exit strategies (given a number of DGW players) and so forth, that's ok too :D

I haven't decided yet, but I think I'll have seven, so that's my vote cast (revoting enabled :!: )

Six, not bothering with Leicester and definitely not Hull. Although Bruce will once again be in his accustomed place on the bench.

It will be 5 with no hits or 6 if I bring in a Leicester keeper this week on my free.

Don't think I want more than 6 because I already have an eye on building for DGW37, although if Sturridge does something other than get injured against Villa I might change my mind.

I realise most of the hits are likely going on Liverpool players, at least I hope so, as taking hits for Leicester players looks a little unlikely to pay off!

Hmm, max of 5 without hits, 3 Che and 2 Liv, no WC. Looks like I'll be at the low end of this analysis. Others in my ML in similar situation though.

Yes, the hit will be for a Liverpool defender, in my instance. Using one of two free transfers this week, then making three changes next.

I'll manage 6 and upson (-4) if I save the wildcard, and probably just 6 plus another rubbishy (but more likely to play) Leicester player if I do use it.

Have only 2 CHE now and used up this gw FT for Murray
I'll have only 1 FT for the DGW, so each one beyond 3 will cost me a hit

I voted 4 (=1 hit) at the moment
But I'll have to assess better
might even get at 6 at most... eventually anticipating 1hit for the 3rd CHE this gw already (fielding a 4-3-3 atm, might add now Rose :arrow: Ivan(Azpi?), or Caz :arrow: Fab for a 3-4-3 benching Rose)
but the MUN(H) fixture requires consideration...
Even Che defence is not guaranteed a CS, so maybe not worth taking a hit there now - otoh utd might easily concede 1 or 2 but not sure how many chances has Cesc to get involved in it to vouch a hit
also, Im fighting for promotion in FISO Divisionals, this is last gw of the round, so Id rather take any hit for the dgw, when they wont count for the sidegame as a new round begins :mrgreen:

FYI, Cesc just rose in price tonite, while Ivan & Azpi rose the night before...
I know several have posted that at this point in the season money is no more an issue, however you can still get priced out from your plans if you don't act on time....

I'm surprised people have so much faith in Liverpool.

Probably looking at 5 myself.

I don't have that much faith in them as a team in general, but a double gameweek against West Brom and Hull followed by a home game against QPR is hard to ignore. All three have porous defences and attacking returns should be ripe for the picking. I would be tempted to jump on players from anyone with that fixture run, to be honest.

I'm wildcarding, and I'm going with 3x Chelsea & 3x Liverpool. I've looked and looked and I can't see value in any Leicester or Hull players with those fixtures. The only way I might possibly go for a 7th is by making Schmeichel my cheaper keeper (poetry). A DGW keeper has always got a chance of scoring some points, even when playing for a terrible team, with save points, and maybe even a penalty save if I get ridiculously lucky. Making him my cheaper keeper means spending more than I would have liked though, and could affect future transfers... so I probably won't do it.

Do people really see much value in going for more than 6 doublers?

You must have planned well to get 6 without hits and without using your wildcard... presuming you have a decent GW33 team! After such good work, please don't waste 4 points on Matthew Upson. That would irritate me and it's not even my team!

Edit: I misread what you meant. Now I understand. Ignore me! However, would now not be a great time to wildcard? When are you saving it for?

Yes, sorry - maybe it was unclear - I have 3 Chelsea + Upson and can get in three Liverpool (atm Sturridge/Sterling/Moreno in place of Kane/Sanchez/Bertrand) with a hit. :)

I posted a full rambley and long winded explanation here, but essentially I've just found myself in a position where I can deal with GW34 pretty well without using the wildcard. I'm thinking that fixing my team in GW35/36 (and bringing back Arsenal players, getting rid of Remy etc) is probably a better use for me - I've looked at what team I might wildcard to in GW34 and I can't find a setup which allows me to hit the doublers better than I can already, easily transition to GW37 afterwards, and be happy with the rest of my team for the remainder of the season.

When I actually wildcard will probably depend on whether Remy looks like he's start GW35, as if possible I'd like the full Liverpool contingent for QPR(H) too. But otherwise I'll wildcard in Giroud and and the other Arsenal's early and hopefully hang on to a couple of Liverpools too for that fixture.

I was all set to bring in Baines this week then wildcard, but in terms of why it might be possible for me to go without it I always tried to leave open the option of keeping the wildcard for later. I don't think there are too many obvious targets for GW33 who are outside the scope of what our teams would already contain, and we only very recently found that it was a Liverpool DGW anyway, so my team isn't too skewed from normal and has three Chelsea already. Baines has grudgingly been cancelled for now.

At least six. No idea if I will get more, luckily I have wildcard so I can make that decision later.

Take your pick, but probably 4 or 5.

Some of the singlers have a decent game as well though. :?
Pending transfers, I could well end up benching 3 players who have done well so far and have decent fixtures. :|

5
Hazard, Ivanovic, and Sturridge are in my team already. Coutinho and Moreno to come in for Eriksen and Rose. That being said, I might opt for Fab over Coutinho.

Between 5 and 7, can get 7 without a hit, but will probably take a hit in order to get the ones I want.
