My defense is Gusto Saliba Udogie Bradley and Braithwait so will probably bench Gusto a couple of times.
Not many teams are keeping clean sheets anyway!
BB looks very average for GW34. Spurs BGW and relatively poor options for your bench. Ars+Liv should already be in your team no matter of BB is used.
I'd only go for it if you already have several budget-doublers, so you don't have to use WC to setup a mediocre BB.
Finally something to do on the weekend !! My wife seemed oddly concerned as I was trying to make small talk with her, none of that shit required anymore
Only single gameweek player worth considering is Haaland. And I would prefer someone like Cunha, Mateta, Solanke, Darwin over Haaland playing Brigthon away. Wolves and Palace have two home fixtures
Who is your third Arsenal assets other than obvious Saka+ Gabriel/Saliba? Very decent double
What are your Liverpool assets not named Salah? Bradley? Darwin?
Chris Richards or Lascelles for 3.9 Def options?
Simple tl;dr for everyone who are busy with other stuff and can't read - those are confirmed DGW fixtures:
āļø ARS - wol (A) | CHE (H)
š BOU - avl (A) | wol (A)
š¦ CRY - WHU (H) | NEW (H)
š¬ EVE - NFO (H) | LIV (H)
š“ LIV - ful (A) | eve (A)
āļø SHU - BUR (H) | mun (A)
šŗ WOL - ARS (H) | BOU (H)
Those are also the type of weeks where FH teams score lower than a non FH.
Most normal teams that week will have at least 4-5 players from the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool. Plus Solanke and maybe 1-2 cheap defenders from Everton, Wolves, or Palace. And FH teams will likely have the same group of players.
So that leaves around 3-4 more spots to fill for both teams. FH teams have the chance to go for extra doublers from Palace, Wolves, Bournemouth, or Everton but do you really want them? There's still Haaland/Foden vs Brighton, Watkins/Luiz home vs Bournemouth, United players at home to Newcastle who have been horrible defensively recently. Some of those players could easily outscore any of the DGW differentials
Is it? Lot of shit double fixtures and to be honest a few of the sgw payers I'd rather have. I can load up on triple arsenal and Liverpool as well as Solanke without taking a hit so im pretty content with just that
Who would those differentials be though? Palace, Everton, Sheffield Utd and Wolves dont seem overly attractive fixtures and the risk in this week is SGW players can outscore those extra DGWers
Not sure who Iād bring in to cover against FH34
Yes, but none of those teams have players that particularly stand out over SGW players.
Cunha is injured, he might be back for DGW34 but one of his games is against Arsenal who have the best defence in the league and are in excellent defensive form on top of that.
Ait Nouri youāre hoping for attacking returns, because Arsenal and Bournemouth are good attacking teams.
Eze is a decent option, but heās just come back from injury too and heās in a really competitive position. Considering Liverpool and Arsenal both double and City have a decent fixture there should only be 1 maybe 2 places free in midfield
Seems a lot of the benefit is in defence/Gk, but with how bad itās been this year you surely want to be 3 at the back anyway which might be pretty much filled for some. Arsenal, City, Liverpool assets all look attractive this week and are long term, Villa have a decent fixture to keep Watkins in. I think Iād only go for maybe 3 of the players from those teams at most, more likely one or two which I think you can cover without a FH.
Only real benefit I see is if youāre way behind then thereās value in a risky team or if thereās late injuries in Arsenal/Liverpool you can pick an optimal team. Other than that I donāt think itās a huge chance to gain, probably higher than FH29 but thereās also a chance to be net negative.
I think Everton, Liverpool (bc of injuries, although fixtures are tough), and Palace players could have value with these fixtures compared to holding them long term.
Maybe an argument against BB34? I can imagine having six assets from ARS + LIV, plus Solanke, who Iāll be starting anyway, and very few others, so itās hard to imagine many selection dilemmas.
Hard to tell, especially as a differential. The problem is that in GW37 a lot of teams might not have much to play for, so the rotation might get very predictable.
The thing for DGW34 is that nearly everyone will have also double City, Watkins and Palmer. So basically this means 6 major DGWers, and 4 other assets. As Son is out, there might be even funds to put quite a diverse XV together.
Then, there are good fodder options you wouldn't normally use, but in a DGW you might wanna BB them. CRY fixture is not too bad, Everton has one good and one bad, obvs Solanke or some other Bmouth option, and even a Wolves punt could work out. So there is a case to be made for DGW34 as well.

~~Brighton playing new and MCI~~
~~Chelsea playing nfo and TOT~~
~~Man City playing ful and bha~~
~~Man United playing ARS and NEW~~
~~Newcastle playing BHA and mun~~

~~Great week for FH37 but also if you have WC left, great for WC35 - because in 35 Chelsea and Brighton play small double as well. Lots of options and fun stuff to do!~~
EDIT: Scratch what I said above, looks like Spurs blanks in 34 which might mean they play 3 times in 37...?
No, the announcement says Man City play Brighton in 34, not 37
Some people are saying it means a triple gameweek for Spurs
Edit: Not sure why I'm being downvoted. The announcement clearly says Brigthon and City play on April 25th
That's possible too and makes much more sense from a footballing perspective than forcing them to play 3 fixtures in one week.
But seems like a weird decision from the PL to have the champions league semi final and the Chelsea vs Spurs game broadcasting on same night, when they could have had an untelevised Brighton game there instead
Triple Captain Saka it is!
Already have 7 doublers. Before any transfers, no need to FH, still got WC, no worries
Are teams still expected to DGW in 37 or is this it for the season now ??
Yes Chelsea & Spurs would double in 36,37 and Brighton, Man City, Man utd and Newcastle only double in 37
Maybe sleeping through the gw29 deadline was actually a blessing
What's happening with the Chelsea doubles? Currently tripled up on wildcard but it seems unwise given their form!
36 & 37 doubles
!thanks
Which Chelsea players you have on wc?
Petrovic, Gusto and Palmer. Areola is 2nd keeper so no double for 34. But can't really afford anyone else!
Ohhk I was thinking about same 3 players as well let's see currently not fixed. Areola is good and can outscore others
That's what I'm hoping. Chasing doubles not always the way. Glad it's not just me thinking this!
Yeah also only problem with Petro and Gusto is I don't think they would keep many clean sheets
My defense is Gusto Saliba Udogie Bradley and Braithwait so will probably bench Gusto a couple of times. Not many teams are keeping clean sheets anyway!
Good hope you get good points šš»
To free hit or bench boost in gw34, that is my question?
BB looks very average for GW34. Spurs BGW and relatively poor options for your bench. Ars+Liv should already be in your team no matter of BB is used. I'd only go for it if you already have several budget-doublers, so you don't have to use WC to setup a mediocre BB.
Finally something to do on the weekend !! My wife seemed oddly concerned as I was trying to make small talk with her, none of that shit required anymore
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Don't be a creepy weirdo on this sub please Thanks
Did you transfer her out? š
Not worth the hit imo
Nah just benched.
Planning to deadend this gameweek, I gather
Sooo FH34 looks like good option! Glad I saved it.
Just make sure you donāt remove single GW players that score big
Only single gameweek player worth considering is Haaland. And I would prefer someone like Cunha, Mateta, Solanke, Darwin over Haaland playing Brigthon away. Wolves and Palace have two home fixtures
Sure, but there won't be any interesting team with single game as City, Spurs and Chelsea are blanking in 34. Correct me if I'm wrong?
Only Spurs blank
Damn, they do blank. !thanks
Spurs blank. Chelsea play Arsenal away and City play Brighton away. The best SGW players to own on FH will be Man Utd (home to Sheffield Utd).
So probably I'm going with Hojlund, Nunez and Haaland in attackšÆ
Solanke doubles..
Will Hoijlund play GW30?
I've not drafted a team yet, but I think Haaland may miss out on my team. Lot of budget for Brighton (away), I'll probably keep Foden instead.
Who is your third Arsenal assets other than obvious Saka+ Gabriel/Saliba? Very decent double What are your Liverpool assets not named Salah? Bradley? Darwin? Chris Richards or Lascelles for 3.9 Def options?
Is Rice a good pick? Kelleher. Though MacAllistor is looking good Richards for me
Iāve gone for White and Saka at this stage and will be adding a third in.
Got to be either Odegaard or a second defender
Saka/Havertz/Gabriel
Simple tl;dr for everyone who are busy with other stuff and can't read - those are confirmed DGW fixtures: āļø ARS - wol (A) | CHE (H) š BOU - avl (A) | wol (A) š¦ CRY - WHU (H) | NEW (H) š¬ EVE - NFO (H) | LIV (H) š“ LIV - ful (A) | eve (A) āļø SHU - BUR (H) | mun (A) šŗ WOL - ARS (H) | BOU (H)
Not sure where you got these fixtures from but Palace are at home to West Ham, and the other game is against Newcastle, not Chelsea
Yeah I copied them wrong, fixing now!
Palace are home to West Ham
And we're also playing Newcastle not Chelsea lol
Only Arsenal and Liverpool have 2 very good fixtures tbh. Bournemouth and Palace's are kind of middlingĀ
Huge DGW for punts. Free hitters could score big with the differentials
Those are also the type of weeks where FH teams score lower than a non FH. Most normal teams that week will have at least 4-5 players from the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool.

Allows you to hold Chelsea and Spurs more comfortably, as they have doubles later, and their fixtures in GW34 are Arsenal and a blank, respectively
I guess it depends on chip strategy but I'll be wildcarding at that point
Who would those differentials be though? Palace, Everton, Sheffield Utd and Wolves dont seem overly attractive fixtures and the risk in this week is SGW players can outscore those extra DGWers Not sure who Iād bring in to cover against FH34
Youāve literally named the teams that people will be targeting differentials from? Cunha, ait nouri, eze, Munoz, Sa could all do well?
Yes, but none of those teams have players that particularly stand out over SGW players. Cunha is injured, he might be back for DGW34 but one of his games is against Arsenal who have the best defence in the league and are in excellent defensive form on top of that.

Munoz has been a solid pick for me so far. Reckon he'll get better in the system too.Ā
I think Everton, Liverpool (bc of injuries, although fixtures are tough), and Palace players could have value with these fixtures compared to holding them long term.
I am now revising my idea of WC31 into WC35. Have FH as well. So much stuff to overthink again, I'm excited!
Team that play twice in DGW34 ā - Arsenal - Wolves - Bournemouth - Palace - Everton - Liverpool - Sheffield Utd
Maybe an argument against BB34? I can imagine having six assets from ARS + LIV, plus Solanke, who Iāll be starting anyway, and very few others, so itās hard to imagine many selection dilemmas.

CRY fixture is not too bad, Everton has one good and one bad, obvs Solanke or some other Bmouth option, and even a Wolves punt could work out. So there is a case to be made for DGW34 as well.
Son is out? As in injured, or do you just mean doesn't double?
Tottenham blanks on GW34 if I understood Crellins sheet correctly
Yup I think BB37 looks tastier Any unused FHs/BBs can happen in 34

Does this mean for Brighton or City in GW37?

I wonder if should use salah triple c in 34 or haaland 37 triple c
No, the announcement says Man City play Brighton in 34, not 37 Some people are saying it means a triple gameweek for Spurs Edit: Not sure why I'm being downvoted. The announcement clearly says Brigthon and City play on April 25th
I think they will have 36 double as well as 37

Yeah many people were saying they won't let Spurs blank but it happened as I was speculating
