Sun Dream Team tips – looking ahead to gameweeks 36-38
The FFGeek teams
Team 1
GW36 score: 36 Points: 1, 895 pts Overall Rank: 7,506 (pre GW36) Team value: £66.8m (-£0.6m)
My overall rank improved by 1k from last week
The gameweek rank was 831k
Sterling, Rashford, Bailly and Simpson are all potential issues but with 1 transfer left I’ll have to think carefully. Alternatively I could take a risk and put Hazard in tonight for one of the midfielders.
Team 2
Gameweek 35 score 45 Points: 1,780 pts Overall Rank: 33,135 (pre GW36) Team value: £61.2m (+£0.8m)
An improvement of overall rank by 6k.
The gameweek rank was 406k
Everything’s fairly ok here at the moment so I might wait until transfers are necessary
Fixtures and player suggestions
Here’s a reminder of the rules from the sun dream team website regarding transfers.
Managers will be able make up to a maximum of three transfers to their team during each calendar month.
Transfers can be made providing that the Football club that both players involved in the transfer belong to, have not played in the current Game Week (Monday to Sunday).
A Game Week starts at 00:00:01 on a Monday and ends at 23:59:59 on the following Sunday.
If any player’s Club have played n that Game Week then they are ‘locked’ and cannot be moved in or out until the final match of the Game Week has ended.
The price of a player is as updated at the beginning of that Game Week by the Variable Player Pricing policy.
So here’s the teams with their upcoming schedules plus some player suggestions. The schedule is pretty obvious. However just to explain The column see lineups? basically tells you whether you will be able to see the lineups before making a transfer. You won’t be able if the player is locked as the team has played previously in the gameweek. Also if the game is sufficiently later in the day that the gameday will have started before the lineups have been announced.
Generally your players will come from the top 7 teams which is why I’ve just given you these fixtures and added on player suggestions. Prices as of Monday
Firstly here’s the PL table before the Chelsea v Middlesboro match so you can assess who’s playing for what
Arsenal
Def: Koscielny £3.3m PPG 3.1
Mid: Ozil £5.1m PPG 4.4
Fwd: Sanchez £7.1m PPG 6.3
Arsenal continue to pursue a top 4 UCL spot and it could go to the last day depending on results. They are also in the FA Cup final
Spurs
GK: Lloris £4.6m PPG 3.3
Def: Alderweireld £5.2m PPG 3.8
Mid: Eriksen £8.5m PPG 5.2 Alli £7.2m PPG 4.3
Fwd: Kane £11.3m PPG 6.7
Chelsea can win the league before Spurs play again. They may become a rotation risk in that instance.
Manchester Utd
GK: De Gea £3.6m PPG 2.2
Def:
Midfield: Pogba £5.4m PPG 4.5 Mkhitaryan £5.3m PPG 3.6 Mata £3.9m PPG 3.1
Forward: Rashford £3.7m PPG 2.3
All Man Utd players are rotation risks with Mourinho prioritising the EL and dismissing any prospect of getting in the top4
Chelsea
GK: Courtois £3.3m PPG 2.9
Def: Alonso £5.4m PPG 4.7 or Azpilicueta £3.7m PPG 3.7
Mid: Hazard £8.9m PPG 6.1
Fwd: Costa £5.0m PPG 5.1
Chelsea could win the title with 2 games to go. That could see mass rotation for the last 2 games. They are also in the FA Cup final
Liverpool
GK: Mignolet £2.5m PPG 2.0
Def: Clyne £2.9m PPG 2.1 Matip £3.5m PPG 2.9
Mid: Coutinho £6.9m PPG 4.9,
Fwd: Origi £3.3m PPG 2.2
Continue to battle for a UCL spot. That could go to the last game.
Everton
GK: Stekelenburg £1.9m PPG 1.8
Def: Holgate £2.3m PPG 2.4
Mid: Barkley £4.2m PPG 2.7,
Fwd: Lukaku £9.4m PPG 6.5
Everton are still playing for a Europa League spot.
Man City
GK: Caballero £3.7 PPG 3.0
Defence: Kompany £4.5 PPG 3.2
Mids: De Bruyne £6.2m PPG 4.2, Sane £3.9m PPG 2.7, Sterling £3.6m PPG 3.5
Fwd: Jesus £5.3m 5.8 PPG
Alot of Pep rotation going on which makes selection difficult

Here’s there top 20 players by their ranking for just premier league games. Use this as a reference as part of your transfer decision.
My team if I could start again
I’ve kept it the 7 teams above. I’ve also tried to keep it around £60m so I’ve avoided the very expensive players like Kane and Lukau
I’ve also gone heavy on Arsenal and Man City for incentive, games played and fixtures. I’ve also gone for a spread of Chelsea as they have 2 very good fixtures and the FA Cup final even if there’s rotation in the 2 weeks if the win the title
GK: Caballero £3.7m
DEF: Kompany £4.5m Alonso £5.4m Koscielny £3.3m Otamendi £5.4m
MID: Ozil £5.1m Hazard £8.9m De Bruyne £6.2m

Total Cost: £59.9m
