Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! – Fantasy Premier League 2016-17
Well hello there, your favourite snake oil salesman here bringing you another installment of Grab, Avoid or Bore off! Once again I have charmed our 3 amigos into given us some insight into some of the questions that all managers are asking, and by all, I mostly just mean me. We will look to cover topics like GW34, Mr. Party, Kun and Alexis. We also address the top 4 where we witness the LFC fan (Kop) pick United to finish ahead of them and the United fan (Cookie) pick LFC to finish ahead of them. Must be fun watching games of their team with these two. Anyway, enough of this intro and let us get to it, let’s see what the fellas have to say.

DGW34 IS ON THERE AS CONFIRMED BUT DGW37 IS VERY MUCH PROVISIONAL!
That’s our best guess as to how it will pan out and there is still Southampton vs Arsenal to be rearranged. That looks likely to be in GW35 or 36. The FPL site itself has said that they expect the remaining games to be confirmed on or around the 7th April.
Teams with DGW’s ahead… (with thanks to Rosco)
Right I’m bored! So I’ve turned to gambling, as you do
Going to follow this weeks Football Ramble with an acca on all of Spain, Italy and England winning with a 2 goal handicap.
Anyone got anything going that may be worth a look?
I’m also bored but I’m not turning to gambling. Instead I’ll gamble vicariously through you
Go on then, give me an acca you fancy and I’ll wager it.
Aside from Ireland v Wales I don’t even know who else is playing!!
I’ve done bale first goal and anytime – what a shiteeeee game!!
Try supporting them
We are not good but surely we better than this.
I’m reluctantly being drawn towards Negredo as a replacement for Gabbiadini (If the injury is as bad as being reported), he plays four of the worst defenses plus Burnley in the next six (Averaged 6 PPG in the earlier games against them sides) and has a DGW at the end of it to boot, it looks like Boro will have to come out of their shell so to speak if they are to stand any chance of beating the drop so maybe worth the punt, would there be any other bargain third strikers (6.8 and down) be worthy of taking a punt on ahead of him?
Any word on a new Boro manager? They played defensively throughout Karanka’s tenure something which and I reckon they’ll find it difficult to move away from that in such a short space of time.
Despite this I could take a punt on him myself, he can’t be any worse than Carroll!!
I think they’ll struggle to land anyone decent unless it’s a short term deal until the summer, I was actually surprised when Gibson pulled the trigger on Karanka, thought he’d at the least get to see the season out.
So was I. Gibson isn’t usually one to act so quickly.
Steve McClaren?
That’s a good shout is Shcteve, was very unlucky to get the boot at Derby but their owners seem to be pretty clueless, he’s worked with Gibson before and had all the luck in the world the last time he was manager at Boro.
Seems to make the most sense all round that. Strangely he’s only the 6th favourite at 18/1 though.
He wud be the luckiest manager in the world Init to get that job.
I’d take Redknapp if his knees were up to it. At least he’d bloody well attack!
I wouldn’t mind seeing Robson back in the game for old times sake.
What’s he been at of late ( Robson)?
I’m sure he took some weird International job, Thailand maybe but he seemed to fall off the map a bit after leaving England.
Met him and ray Wilkins at a charity meal at pride park a few years back – has a extremely dry sense of humour – really nice guy BTW

Good to see you around Alan, hope all’s well.
Geez my name is stupid. That’s what happens when you make an account for only one post. I’m joining the league now.
Just change it back to Waxys!
There, I’ve done it for you. It should show as Waxys next time you post. We can’t change the username behind it though so it’s still MyFarwell when you come to log in.
Thanks for that. Sorry for the misunderstanding with the alleged banning, still don’t know what happened to prevent my login however may have jumped to conclusions a little.
No probs at all.
Thanks Andy not too bad at the moment, I have to many hospital visits but many people worse than me. I am spending my time sorting my Ausi football team, started this week good fun

I used to watch a bit of it on trans world sport back in the day but I’m too far removed from watching it now, I don’t think I’ll be bothering with too many southern hemisphere sports until the Lions rock up in New Zealand in the summer, it was always the food that got me about being in the hospitals (Didn’t mind the nurses much though).
Andy, I’m curious what other southern hemisphere sports there might be… other than Aussie Football.. you’ve piqued my interest..
Sumo wrestling, world series of shark wrestling, Kabbadi (That used to be shown on C4 in the UK before they got the Serie A show somehow) and Takeshi’s castle were some of my favorites back in the day.
Evening
How are we?
Sweating on a treble! Spain are in and doing the biz. Italy need to pull their finger out and get 2 more.
Ain’t the game just been suspended?
Oh dear that was a shocking challenge on Coleman
That look likes a broken leg!!
Leg breaker, I don’t fancy watching the slow motion replays of that one.
Fingers crossed he makes a speedy recovery!!
Looks season ending I’m afraid Mitro, they’re not even going to show the replay of it so it’s likely a broken leg. (Scaremongering I know.)
Yep, do I sound like a weasel if I say ive now sorted out my Valencia/Bertrand enabler?
No rest for the wicked I see then, I’d still wait for an announcement before pulling the trigger on anything.
Of course….
He’s not even cold yet! But yeah fair play, you’re a true fantasy manager
#ruthless
Yep, we know who roots for stuff other than a tight hammy to happen to a player. 😉
Pulling for a tight hammy is not bad, is it?
RTE didn’t show any slow motion replays!!
Kop – only saw it the once but it didn’t look good mate! They said on sky they didn’t want to show a replay! Poor lad! He’s had an amazing season as well!!
Best right back in the league in my opinion and has been for a while, in my opinion. Not watching but FotMob says oxygen applied so that says broken leg. Poor lad.
