Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Game-week 35 – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16

And so from a week with many, many games in which so few players actually bothered to turn up to a week with far less games but hopefully more actual players. If that makes sense! GW35 is the one which has been commonly referred to as the ‘blank week’. So much so you’d be forgiven for thinking that all the fixtures had been cancelled, which of course isn’t the case. There are indeed 6 teams without a game this week but that means there are 14 who do still play. There may only be 7 games but they span 3 days and Man City kick us off on Saturday lunchtime when they host Stoke. Saturday is then a short affair with just the 3 games, all kicking off at 3pm before Sunday brings us Sunderland and Arsenal at 2.05pm and then a Vardy-less Leicester who host Swansea at 4pm. Spurs and West Brom then see us out on Monday night at 8pm. The fixtures in full…

Saturday 23rd April:

So….. I’m drinking.
Some wine cos I said I’d be nice to the wife = 3/4 bottle
3 cans Coors – cos supposedly have an intolerance to wheat (even though they have wheat)
2 cans of Carslberg (cos I like Carslberg and I had ONLY two cans left
Vodka – cos I have vodka
where is bench when you need some solace (rough day in all fairness but thats irrelevant)

Hello guys..question.. Is it advisable to take a hit of -16(or may be -20) in the coming two weeks if i still have my BB left to play in gw37?cheers
Cookie
Hey Constantine, GP took a 24pt hit ahead of DGW34 and scored great. Then again the fixtures were on paper kinder and spread among more teams in 34.
PeterPan
Constantine,
Depends how you looking on the rankings and ML.
Personally I wouldnt
constantine
Cheers cookie and peter for your views..i guess i need yo wait and watch on the player news till the very last..i’m still going to do mitrovic to defoe and sakho to cresswell gor this week.
EBC
It depends how bad your team is but as a rule, no.
constantine
EBC, well here’s my team..all in shambles.have 7 dgw players out of which only 3 seem nailed..have to bring at least 5/new ones for the BB in gw37.. Any suggestions from your side??cheers
constantine
My team..
constantine
Bloody hell
Kop Warrior
Is it that good?
constantine
Dont know why the pic is not getting attached.. Final try
Cookie
Seems the pic is too embarrassed…..
constantine
Kop..desperate, ravenous tries..the team’s got so shitty that it needs some serious consideration.. BTW its linked with my name..cheers
Kop Warrior
It’s not that bad Constantine
Obviously you need to get rid of Sakho…obvious replacement is PvA or Cresswell if you can afford him.
After that you need to consider what you’re going to do with Coutinho. He’s unlikely to play this weekend following the Europa game on Thursday. Will he play both games in the double? Unlikely.
Other concerns would be Lennon, Pelle & Mitrovic. You can always look to replace these with players who have a double in GW37. I know Lennon does, but…
constantine
KOP..thanks buddy..thats almost what my plan is, hence the primary question of taking -20 points hit..i guess I’ll stick with lenon and change sakho, coutinho, pelle and mitrovic after gw36. Got loftus by looking at his ppsition and gametime prior to this game..also pelle proved zero..Dont know what to do with LC..
Kop Warrior
If you can try and take the hits next week. There’s nothing worse than taking a hit this week in preparation for next and it going belly up.
constantine
KOP, thanks a lot mate.. thats a good advice. I’ll be content with Mitrovic+Sakho to Defoe+Cresswell this week. Will see on the Loftus-cheek position next week..Rest coutinho needsto go if the gametime is not sure. I’ll rather take hits than sulking over the gametime og the present players..cheers
KI
Kop,
You provide wise advice. “If you can try and take the hits next week. There’s nothing worse than taking a hit this week in preparation for next and it going belly up.”
But, a dilemma. I have DeBruyne and Aguero going to Southampton Saturday. I have doubts about DeB playing at all, and Sergio being on limited minutes. I could go Hazard/Fabregas/Pedro, plus Costa, even though Spurs, with the gw37 double in mind. Probable 90 minutes, plus an extra game. But Citeh wants CL-I’m just not sure how bad Pellegrini cares.
Kop Warrior
Cheers Ki.
With regards to your City pair I wouldn’t be overly concerned about Aguero as City’s options up top are limited. However KDB is more of a concern. Anyway I wouldn’t make any decision until after all of this weeks European games.
Smash10
Who are the best double GW players for a bench boost in GW 37? I’m about to activate my wild card. And who are the best players to keep? Guessing Aguero, Sanchez and the Leicester boys
Cookie
Smash, off the top of my head, and if I had my wildcard, this is roughly what squad I would make, taking into account GW36, DGW37 & GW38….
DDG, Gomes/Robles
Smalling, Kos/Bellerin/Monreal, PVA/Kirchoff, Cresswell, +1
Payet/Antonio/Lanzini, Alexis, Townsend, Firmino/Coutinho, +1
Kane/Kun, Sturridge, Carroll/Defoe/Rashford
That’s a very quick guesstimate mate
Smash10
Thanks Cookie gives me a good template. I see the Liverpol players as a rotation risk
Cookie
Yeah for sure Smash – chuck your thread on the new article and see what others say.
James101
Plus Alli and Sanchez makes a lovely team
Silvers
I’m I the only one hoping Spurs do sod all tonight (it just isn’t going to happen)
MattX
I think you’re the only one mate. I want Kane to score a hatty
Snookie Bear
Kane for hatty, as Leic won they will be firing all cylinders to keep the pressure up and need to win 5-0 to make statement after Leic won 4-0
photek
I’d happy with a hatty Matt he’s my captain, all set up by Ali
constantine
+1 silvers..need a cleanie from rose though..
NewbDoe
Hi everyone!
could you rate my team?
i have my wilcard activated, and plan on bench boost on gw37.
here is my draft, what u guys think about the game time of these players
Cookie
NewbDoe,
The four that bother me most are: Lennon, Willian, Azpi & Ruddy.
For Ruddy I think I’d prefer Mannone for the same cash.
Azpi – Chelsea don’t seem to be keeping many cs under Hiddink.
Lennon – not a fan of any Everton but they have nice fixtures in 36 & 38 to be fair.
Willian – I’d rather have Fabregas.
Would you consider selling Aguero to Sturridge and using the funds to upgrade the above 3?
maybe Fabregas and Firmino for Lennon and Willian?
NewbDoe
Hi cookie,
Thank you so much on your feedback
Selling aguero is wquite risky for me since everyone on my ML has him
This what i come up after the revision,
Further feedback would be much appreciated
Cookie
NewbDoe,
yes I understand re Aguero – I’d still consider selling him but that’s your call.
Ok – I’m going to back track on Fabregas now!! If you change him to Firmino and change Kos to Monreal, can you get Townsend for Lanzini?
Smash10
I’m on same as you wild card with bench boost in GW 37. Similar players to my quick draft so far. Though I’m fairly sure I’ll be ditching the Spurs boys. As a Chelsea fan I can’t see them winning there. Yeah there is the Saints game but that’s not easy. Then if it goes to the final day Newcaste could be tricky
constantine
NewbDoe..double sunderland def is overkill to me.rest looks decent..i’d readily exchange my squad with this one
.
NewbDoe
Cookie, smash, constantine..
Well noted.
I will come up with the next draft. Honestly, I just checked townsend fixtures, and its quite tempting
Anyway, do you have any concern to lanzini gametime? Especially during the double gameweek
Gear
Have you thought about Watford players? They have a DGW and play Villa this weekend. Could be an easy CS…
Smash10
Yeah I am. A defender or Gomes. I’m guessing the manager will need them to finish well so maybe less rotation. Ighalo has not scored in a while in the league though. Fixtures are good for Watford
NewbDoe
Smash10,
I actually i really consider gomes, but i still dont know whether i have enough funds to afford him.
Talking abt the watford defs, who would be the best pick. I checked at a glance and it seems they are rotated during the double gw back on gw34.
Raziel
Time for Alli and Kane to strike with a vengeance. 😉
Raziel
Make the Tony Pulis team bleed!
Kop Warrior
Hopefully West Brom can nick a goal!
Snookie Bear
Yes need alderwaird tk have a 2 pointer and yellow or red would be bonus
Raziel
Hmmm, since I have both Alli and Kane, I do hope they win. This, so I can completely squeeze them out to my satisfactory.
Raziel
Darnit, this is one of the ugliest games ever.
Tekno-kun
Evans goal off a corner would be appreciated.
