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)
Just seen the replays of the Coleman injury. His leg snapped at the shin. Shocking tackle. Wish him a speedy recovery but I think it’s safe to assume the season may be over unfortunately
Too much info!
Sorry init
Season ender
Do we have to.
Guess everyone will be switching to Bains
With Liverpool and Man Utd up next and no DGW I’d of thought that now would be a good time to leave Everton completely.
I will be bringing in either Bertrand or Valencia
Right come on betting folk. Does this mean I’m still in play on the bottom one? It says I won the first despite Italy essentially drawing 2-2 in the bet. I know some refund on a draw but then it also has a cross on that one in the second despite paying it on the first?
Bear in mind this a new addiction I developed just today
It’s ok! Just realised I pressed +2 Italy on the first and not -2. No idea what that means but it’s obviously good
For that one…
Italy +2 goals
playing it safe there…..
Milburn….
Any idea on what I posted above about the draw cancelling that selection etc? Info is contradictory on the issue.
Ah it’s been some days. Great to be back
Wonderful job guys on a lovely article
The Coolman situation looked horrendous.
Hoping for a quick recovery
How’s this for next week?
AOA on
Looking good mate
Cheers mate
Anyone else tempted to WC?
I’m pretty happy that I dropped it last week in all honesty although the late Haz and early Gabbiadini injury has scuppered it a little, we kind of know the DGW situation now so it’s easy enough to do a little forward planning, (injuries/Suspensions aside I should be able to field 5 DGW players in 34 and maybe 4 for the Arsenal/Southampton DGW without any hits).
With so many teams having a DGW 37 I don’t see the need to save the WC for that specific week as if it all pans out successfully a good WC can potentially see good returns over a number of weeks although we all know that not everything goes to plan in this game.
Not yet
Hey Dreamers,i was tempted but going to hold out till gw 35 or 36 most probably now as i didnt see a potential wc team scoring that many more points than the team ive got up to gw 35/36 !
Never thought about that, I guess it also helped that I’d started to fall below the GW average point wise before dropping the WC.
Already did last week
Throwback to a time when Wayne Rooney couldn’t use Twitter
Wow. Coleman broke his leg? End of season for him? Big problem for Everton and Koeman. Now I can replace him but I am freaking 0.1m short of getting Alonso. WTF!? So annoying.
Neil Taylor, what a turd.
Valencia? Or do u already have him?
I’d agree with that, you’ve no DGW players for 34 yet so one or two moves with that in mind might be a good way forward for now.
I know Andy. But I think I will try to keep the team I have as long as possible. Also eying DGW34. Who do you want? IT is United and Mid and CP playing right? Apart from United, I see no interesting teams. So Valencia/Ibra and maybe the goalie from Middlesbrough.
It’s not really the greatest DGW on paper, the main problem with the Boro and Palace lot is that after GW 34/35 then you ideally don’t want them in your side at all, maybe a Man Utd defender plus Ibra alongside a Boro defender and Zaha might be more than enough.
Yeah Valencia was the next on the list. Also eying GW34. Lol, I had 11 GW players in umm GW 28? IT was? And I scored below average. What a nightmare.
It’s frustrating when the pay off doesn’t match the planning, I’d went all in on the DGW 27 just to see Sterling benched and Aguero just get the one goal, it’s just the way it goes.
I bought Fuchs in for Coolman
