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)

Aguero subed before 60 min.
Milburn
Another cracking article lads, always the highlight of international week.
1 more question though, what would you do with this? I feel the sensible option is coleman/baines to valencia but given all this talk about hits I’m not sure if I should get alli / vardy or someone else in as well?
Milburn
1.6 ITB but I’ll be wanting ibra and sanchez in for the doubles.
Kop Warrior
Cheers Milburn
Baines to Valencia sounds good but obviously wait until we know he’s back in Manchester and is ok.
With regards to the hits I wouldn’t go taking hits just because of all the recent chat! Away to Burnley won’t be an easy game for Alli. Vardy might be worth a hit but you’d have to sell Kun or Lukaku.
Milburn
Or I could downgrade a midfielder and upgrade Llorente to Vardy haha. I’m just conscious that I’m chasing the pack in my ML and “calculated” risks need to be taken soon. What would Mitro do? :cry-lol:
Kop Warrior
How much would you need to free up from the sale of a midfielder in order to afford Llorent to Vardy?
Milburn
1.8mill
Kop Warrior
You’ll probably need to sell Mane in order to get a decent mid so. Mane to Pedro?
Milburn
Hmmm I don’t know. Plenty to think about; cheers Kop.
Kop Warrior
For the record I’m not necessarily advocating these moves 😉
Milburn
Yeah I get that. So you’d probably just play it safe with Valencia?
Cookie
Morning Milburn,
If you bought Valencia for Baines, which defender would you bench? Yoshi?
Milburn
I don’t know it’s a tough one. Obviously Coleman has an attacking threat but Southampton have more chance of a CS IMO.
Cookie
I’m only asking as I have the same defence except Walker instead of your Vert and am considering Valencia.
I’m just hesitant as he’ll play both games for Ecuador, will arrive back late and will Jose be willing to risk him?
Milburn
You’re more qualified than me to answer that but can Jose risk not playing him?
In his best form of late and been the only constant in the back line this season. Dp you think Bailly is guaranteed now that Jones is injured?
Cookie
Valencia more likely to play now Jones can’t cover. But Young could play there of he persists with 3 centre backs.
I think Valencia will probably play most if
not all but I defo won’t buy him until this time next week.
Bailly is still competing with Smalling and Rojo so I think we’ll still see rotation depending on the formation.
Kop Warrior
Fck! It’s still over a week away!
I was half thinking the Merseyside derby was at lunchtime tomorrow
Cookie
Yeah dull isn’t it?!
Kop Warrior
Cheers Mito. Some great questions as always
constantine
Thanks a lot for the GABO article guys. Always fun to read with some serious insights. I’d also like to thank Initt for the “hit or not to hit” article. Went through the magazine as well. That was some much needed stuff there. Also, got myself enrolled for the Fantasyfootymag comp. Cheers

guys id like your views on these two teams for the upcoming weeks. Both teams allow me to have Sanchez and Zlatan for upcoming DGW.
saloba11
Team A
saloba11
Team B
saloba11
For team A – de Roon is essentially a non players aprt from DGW in GW 34 and that’s also the Case for Team B with Gestede. Both options release much needed funds.
Cookie
Saloba,
so it’s basically:
Puncheon, De Roon & Lukaku
vs
Mane, Zaha, Gestede
I would narrow it down to Lukaku vs Mane as I wouldn’t expect much from the other four…..does that make your decision easier?
saloba11
Yeah and i think Lukaku gets the vote.
Its a really touch decision and I think my overall team is being weakened by having sanchez and Zlatan I may have to decide between the two.
Team B would mean im playing a 433 formation with a mid and att of
Alli Sanchez King
zlatan Costa Lukaku
Cookie
Everyone will disagree with me but I don’t think Ibra is worth it for the double for the reasons you have highlighted.
It’s not like United score loads
saloba11
Yeah im starting to think that too, i think sanchez is more essential. Mata could be a Man U attacking option.
Cookie
Yeah he could be though the only consistency with Mata is that Jose subs him off every game

Well done lads on another instalment of GABO.
Thanks for all your efforts. :ok:
