Sunderland players for DGW?
Already have Pantillimon and van Aanholt, but considering a third Sunderland player for the double, is anyone else bothering?
Defoe, Wickham, Larsson, Gomez??
Final game is Che (a) so it would be for just the dgw...

Re: Sunderland players for DGW?
I'm thinking of just PvA, but closer to the time I'm sure which ever strikers are in form will get some investment. A lot probably depends on how Sunderland react to this weeks results over GW35 and 36. If they start fighting and scoring goals then I'm sure there will be plenty of interest.

Will already have PVA, but currently monitoring Wickham who's showing decent form.

Have PVA, and may potentially add Pantillimon, but that will most likely be it, barring a burst in goalscoring form from Defoe/ Wickham.

Re: Sunderland players for DGW?
I've left a space for any of their midfielders just in case (6.1m I believe), but any such player would have to really catch fire in the next couple of weeks to convince me. I'd rather just have someone like Kane than a Sunderland striker, and wouldn't want to double up on their defence.
So probably just the PVA for me.

Currently own PVA. Might get another if I have a spare transfer.

Re: Sunderland players for DGW?
Current plan is to get the Pants Man in alongside PvA. But I probably wouldn't bother if I didn't need to free up funds for my 3rd Arsenal spot.

Re: Sunderland players for DGW?
Who's more explosive out of Gomez and Larsson? Gomez posted a big score this week but they were both pens which I'd have thought Sunderland don't get too many of. Larsson seems to only score from free kicks which, whiles he's pretty good at them, no player scores them too frequently. Seems to be a 'hit-and-hoper' to me.

Re: Sunderland players for DGW?
I actually fancied getting Larsson earlier in the season, so I am edging towards him if I do get a Sunderland midfielder. Just from how I rate Larsson as a player I'd like to back him.
Larsson seems to create slightly more, but Gómez has been more of a goal threat recently and even with the penalties removed they would have a similar amount of shots in and out the box over the last 4 games they've played in. Gómez is also shorter odds to score anytime for the next game (on PaddyPower).

Already have Sanchez - looking for funds to bring in Ozil or Ramsey, but you're quite right, I could bring in one of those two.The Catman wrote:Getting Gomez or Larsson would free me up some funds for SanchezMPTree wrote:Current plan is to get the Pants Man in alongside PvA.

The big question though: is it worth it? The Leicester fixture is nice, for sure, but Sunderland then face Arsenal away followed by Chelsea away in GW38. Does the DGW really make Sunderland options all that attractive? The more I think about it, the more I think I may just stick with PvA and look at alternatives to free up funds for that 3rd Arsenal spot.

Re: Sunderland players for DGW?
The Sunderland DGW players are hard to justify. Beyond PvA at least as he can be benched in GW38.
I think that a little bit depends on what you plan to do in GW38 as you might be able to swap a Henderson type player to a Sunderland one for 37 and then out again in GW38.

Re: Sunderland players for DGW?
Not sure any of the attacking players are worth it, for the reasons mentioned by MPTree. Not for my team, at least. Come the weekend my midfield will consist of two Arsenal along with Hazard and Silva, so I certainly wouldn't be looking to ship any of them, and Kane faces Hull at home which I would say is preferable to Defoe/Wickham (even with two fixtures) too.
The only other option I would consider in addition to PVA is Pantillimon. It's not inconceivable that he could potentially get a CS against Leicester and save points against Arsenal.
In fact, that will most likely be my GW37 transfer, with Myhill facing Chelsea.

Re: Sunderland players for DGW?
I've decided that I'm going with a Panti, PvA, and O'Shea defensive block and praying that they keep a clean sheet at home to Leicester.
I already have Panti and PvA anyway, and need to ship Bellerin in order to free up a third Arsenal attacking position, so I might as well bring in O'Shea for Bellerin for the DGW.

And then you are stuck with that block at Stamford Bridge on the last day of the season when you would expect Chelsea to put on a show piece on celebration day.Maradona_Is_God wrote:I've decided that I'm going with a Panti, PvA, and O'Shea defensive block and praying that they keep a clean sheet at home to Leicester.

Re: Sunderland players for DGW?
The current plan is they will all be benched on the last day. As of right now it would mean playing Krul (WHU),Terry (SUN), Moreno (sto), Hutton (BUR).ctibbits wrote:And then you are stuck with that block at Stamford Bridge on the last day of the season when you would expect Chelsea to put on a show piece on celebration day.Maradona_Is_God wrote:I've decided that I'm going with a Panti, PvA, and O'Shea defensive block and praying that they keep a clean sheet at home to Leicester.

Billy Jones will be a good pick.
Been told to push forward a lot under Advocaat. He will get some attacking points before the end of the season.

Advocaat has clearly asked the full backs to get up and down the wing and while Reviellere is the better defender, he just hasn't got the legs anymore. He'll play the last 3 barring injury I'm sure.
As for O'Shea he's a doubt for Leicester, but nothing more than that has been said.

Will most likely bring in Pantimillon this week, alongside PVA who I already own. Nobody else really appeals.

Re: Sunderland players for DGW?
Is Pantilimon really worth a hit, bearing in mind that one of his fixtures is Arsenal? I would think that's only worthwhile if you don't have another playing keeper, or maybe one that's got only the slimmest chance of a clean sheet.

Re: Sunderland players for DGW?
Given that I only have Davis, I am considering doing this. But I'm also considering just bringing in Ospina for free. I think Pantilimon is likely to concede in all three games so I'd be looking to save points. Pretty sure it will be a small gain (over no playing keeper) but Ospina and no -4 could be a superior move.thesilkworm wrote:Is Pantilimon really worth a hit, bearing in mind that one of his fixtures is Arsenal?

Re: Sunderland players for DGW?
I'm thinking about this too Mav. What's putting me of is it rules out the third Arsenal attacking player, which is riskyrisky, seeing as so many are going that route. At least Ospina should be nailed on and that is attractive.

Re: Sunderland players for DGW?
Would be coming in for free in my case. Wouldn't ordinarily be high on my agenda, but given the double gameweek and Myhill facing Chelsea at home, I think it could be worth it if I have no other pressing matters. Not beyond the realms of possibility that he could potentially get a clean sheet against Leicester and a couple of save points against Arsenal, best case scenario.thesilkworm wrote:Is Pantilimon really worth a hit, bearing in mind that one of his fixtures is Arsenal?

Re: Sunderland players for DGW?
I should be approx 10 points off mini league leader by tomorrow. Our teams are so similar i have to take a couple of risks now.
We both have PVA and Panti and 3 x Arsenal. I have to take a chance on a Sunderland attacker who i will transfer out again for final week. Im thinking Murray > Defoe for DGW and swap them back for final week. Besides unforeseen injuries i dont need to do any other transfers as im happy with my team.
Do you guys think Defoe will play both DGW games??
