Re: The GW 36 wildcard thread
Right, I think I'm done.
De Gea. Mannone
PVA, Kaboul, Rojo, Ake, Cresswell
Sanchez, Iwobi, Townsend, Payet, Fellaini
Aguero, Kane, Carroll
Will move one of the midfielders to the best liverpool option for GW37. Fellaini if gametime looks an issue, otherwise probably Iwobi.

I was doubling up on Watford for purely this weeks fixture....bit now changed to PVA and Mannone as I think they are better bets.
I am now wavering on my "dump Kane"'plan and it's now a "dump Aguero" plan. It would allow me Ozil for this week. Still...feels scary

Re: The GW 36 wildcard thread
I have PVA and Mannone as well since they have something to play for. I was just wondering if it was sensible to put in Kirchoff as well? I would likely bench all three and play DDG, Bellerin, Cresswell, Smalling.Drew_Peacock wrote:slyger wrote:with Watford nothing to play for is there much of a point to bring in defs for the double? or is it better to double up on SUN or even bring in a NOR def.

I'm still torn on whether to drop Kane/Aquero this week as well.

Iwobi to Willian or Mahrez to Willian? It's all to set up for the double. Arse clearly have a better matchup but I have Sanchez and Bellerin already

Re: The GW 36 wildcard thread
No Kharzi hasn't been doing much lately and I don't trust any Everton player. Not really fond of any other player. If only Antonio was moved back to his natural position.Mav3rick wrote:Well, does it have to be Lanzini/Antonio?

Also it would feel like such a backwards move if I do Alli>Lanzini when I did the reversal last week, lol. My team is going to shit.

Re: The GW 36 wildcard thread
I looked at Khazri, thought he played well against Arsenal, but Sunderland defensive options look the best bet and Defoe from their attacking players.
Now undecided on Lukaku, I don't want him for the DGW as I think the fixtures are very tough, but I like him for this week, is it worth picking him for this week and then swapping him next week (for Carroll/Defoe/Sturridge etc) or is that just a waste?

Re: The GW 36 wildcard thread
It's a punt-if you fancy it, give it a bash. Not for me like but it might work!
Took Kane out and Ramsey is in as my placeholder for my Liverpool man next week.
Done. I think.

WC played (BB DGW37). Taken some massive punts as I'm down 30pts to ML leader so need to take some calculated risks (plus I thought f*ck it I want to have some fun)! FYI I fancy Leicester to score hence why I've put Smalling 2nd on my bench.

Re: The GW 36 wildcard thread
All done, end up going with:
De Gea. Mannone
PVA, Bellerin, Smalling, Cresswell, Olsson
Sanchez, Townsend, Payet, Firmino, Antonio
Sturridge, Kane, Rashford
Not particularly happy with it though. Thought i would be able to get a great team out but quite uncertain about a few players. Going without Augero also feels very bad. I'm just praying he gets rested as my main rival has him and he's on fire at the moment. Still 12 doublers for next week so hopefully i can hold on to my 7 point lead.

Re: The GW 36 wildcard thread
Really struggled with the last midfield slot, so ended up leaving Mahrez there. The solid rumours of Liverpool's lineup this weekend featuring none of the regular first-teamers made things very difficult.

Did my wildcard team drunk last night, on my phone, in a pub bathroom.
DDG Mannone
Bellerin Smalling Cresswell PVA Khirchoff
Sanchez Payet Ozil Milner Mahrez
Kun Carroll Rashford
Sold Kane, not sure if I want Ozil-Milner-Mahrez, but what the hell. Ozil can become some pool/Chelsea midfielder with the GW37 transfer.

Re: The GW 36 wildcard thread
Was leaning to WC in GW37 but finally went with :
DDG/Gomes
PVA/Bellerin/Creswell/R.Benett/Valencia
Fabregas/Hazard/Kahzri/Payet/Sanchez
Caroll/Sturridge/Defoe
Bellerin will become Smalling in GW37 and Sanchez will be Firmino if Liverpool are out of EL, if not Pedro.
I'm betting on a Chelsea revival, at least 1 clean sheet from MU (as i'll have 3 defenders) and Sturridge playing at least 1,5 games.
Choose Gomes as GK considering his plum fixture this week.
Overall clearly an FPL-suicide if these bets are crap, but could pay off.
Went with just 1 Sunderland defender in PVA considering his attacking threat, don't understand the love for Sunderland doubles, they'll be playing Chelsea and Everton i'm pretty sure there won't be any clean sheets for them despite recent performances.
good luck to all it's been a fun season.

Re: The GW 36 wildcard thread
It's an interesting read, but the phrase about lies, damn lies, and statistics springs to mind when you look at the FPL site and see that Kirchoff is yet to receive a single bonus point after 10 starts and 4 clean sheets. PVA is worth the extra 0.4m IMO.Notned wrote:Read that the other day.

Re: The GW 36 wildcard thread
The only bit I really would worry about is the Milner/SGW issue in your midfield. Obviously you can bench Milner this week and in 38 if necessary so that's fine, it's then just whether you prefer the CHE match that Milner would presumably play to other options (assuming he won't play against Watford).Nailer6245 wrote:Did my wildcard team drunk last night, on my phone, in a pub bathroom.

If you would like to bench Mahrez, then I might prefer someone like Lennon to Milner as he has the nice fixture this week then the (tricky) double, or a good SGW player such as Townsend.
If you're happy to play Mahrez this week (I would be), then maybe just bring in Brady as a BB midfielder for GW37?

Re: The GW 36 wildcard thread
Oh yeah, I agree. Brought PVA in this week myself. Easily the choice pick of that back line.

Re: The GW 36 wildcard thread
Valencia is a pretty risky pick isn't he? Third choice right back/utility player perhaps? I know that position is difficult to pin down but that's not a good pick for me. I did consider Bennett as well as a pure DGW player, but the Norwich fans here are pretty negative on their chances now that Klose is injured. Decent fixtures though I agree, the Watford game perhaps the highlight of the cheap DGW defenders.matmutte wrote:Was leaning to WC in GW37 but finally went with :

Re: The GW 36 wildcard thread
Yes, absolutely. Nobody is going to suggest picking Kirchhoff over PvA because he might get some more bonus points, but when comparing the combinations of Watford and second line Sunderland picks for the DGW the BPs are a pretty good way to split some hairs.Notned wrote:Oh yeah, I agree.

It's very risky though isn't it? I mean Fosu-Mensah started in the FA cup semi and Darmian is there too.

Re: The GW 36 wildcard thread
Good feedback Mav, cheers. I actually did my defence on the basis that defenders 4&5 (PVA & Kirchoff) are only going to play in GW37 so I only really considered those fixtures. Should possibly do the same with Milner, although I think they might go out of Europe and I've picked him as I think he's a good chance of playing both 37 games.Mav3rick wrote:The only bit I really would worry about is the Milner/SGW issue in your midfield.

Realistically I just cant see a decent combo for those final three midfield slots that I like, and I reckon Ozil with NOR/VIL and Mahrez are decent SGW bets. Wish there were some better options.

Re: The GW 36 wildcard thread
Also, as a general service announcement:
THERE ARE NO UNITED DEFENDERS WITH A GOOD CHANCE OF PLAYING EVERY GW, OTHER THAN DDG & SMALLING.
Obviously you can take a punt if you want, but at RB Darmian, Valencia and Fosu-Mensha will be rotated. Rojo is less of a risk but can also easily come in and out of the team. It negates the point of a DGW to be honest, especially if you're on a wildcard so you're less constrained by price.

Re: The GW 36 wildcard thread
You could be right on Milner, and yes if Liverpool do go out of Europe then he could play both. I'd originally always intended to go with Milner but all the rotation issues put me off and I've ended up on Willian. I would prefer Milner if he were even 50% sure of starting against Watford though.Nailer6245 wrote: Good feedback Mav, cheers.

You're right of course, but I've looked and don't think I prefer a 5th choice DGW defender to 3 games from a Man Utd defender, unless you can spot one?Nailer6245 wrote:Also, as a general service announcement:
