fantasy premier league teams GW36 – some early thoughts on the FFGeek team
Gameweek 35
GW35 points: 138 on BB (average 67) Total points 2,109, Gameweek rank 1k, Overall Rank: 51k, green arrow 84k, Team Value: £102.5m
GW35 points:
That certainly went better than expected. I don’t think I’ve ever had anything like a 1k gameweek rank that’s for sure. A green arrow of 84k to an overall rank of 51k was certainly a pleasant surprise. Interestingly it was the defence/GKs that was the main source of points with 72 points coming from that.
Transfer thoughts
1 transfer and £0.1m in the bank.
So this week has always been the week when I get back Mane or less likely Salah for the Huddersfield match. In terms of which it may depend on the GW36 captain poll results. There’s also a story going around which Andrew W helpfully put in the comments section about Salah in New York coming back a day or 2 before the Huddersfield match which maybe a sign he could be rested or it maybe just nothing?
The easy no hit way of doing it and my original plan was to take out Sterling but I’ve suddenly become a bit reluctant to do that given that City will likely need to win every match to get the title. 1 assist over the 2 games isn’t fantastic though but he is able to score big points.
Aguero could also be an option with a -4. His form according to my previous gameweek form charts had dropped off but again another dangerous player going for the title.
With West Ham next I’m reluctant to take out the Spurs boys which would have to be done in conjunction with someone else. That could be Jimenez or Jota but unless I take out Sterling it will be a -4. The -4 doesn’t particularly worry me. It is a special circumstance after a double gameweek and also it is likely to be a rank defensive move for a popular captain.
Needs more thought unfortunately and I can see it being a last minute decision.
Chip thoughts
This had always been my triple captain chip option gameweek and assuming I get Mane or less likely Salah then if I get a warm feeling that they will start I will probably use it. If not it will probably be Man City at home to Leicester in GW37. I think there will be less gametime risk for either Sterling or Aguero there.
So alot to ponder
Captain thoughts
Assuming I get in Mane or Salah they will be the captain pick I would expect.
Lineup issues
Preparing a wildcard for the bench boost mean that the lineup decisions are going to be tricky each week going forward. Thankfully there’s only 3 gameweeks left.
At the moment I’ve gone for a 4 man defence with Jota on the bench which seems an accident waiting to happen. It could be that I bench Doherty instead but I’m always reluctant to given he is a 15 pointer that could happen at anytime. Gray is the other option to bench.
Seemingly a lot to procrastinate over. In some ways I’m glad it’s a Friday gameweek as I’ll have to make a decision earlier than the normal gameweek and at least get it out of the way. How I get Mane or Salah in could influence my lineup decisions.
The team
Here’s the team. At the moment Mane or as I keep saying, less likely, Salah could be anyone. Sorry about the uncertainty
