fantasy premier league – some thoughts on the ideal teams for DGW34 and DGW37 (with and without Aguero)

Here’s  some thoughts on the ideal teams for DGW34 and DGW37 (with and without Aguero).  I’ll give you my thoughts on a team for DGW34 and then a transition to DGW37.  I’ll give 2 options.  1 with Aguero.  The other without Aguero.  It’s just meant to give you some ideas for your team planning rather than something literal

Background

Here’s a reminder of who has plays twice in DGW34 and DGW37:

1.  DGW34

2 games for

• Man City
• Sunderland
• Everton
• Crystal Palace

2.  DGW37

2 games for

• Man City
• Sunderland
• Hull City
• Aston Villa
• WBA
• Man Utd

DGW34 to DGW37 with Aguero

Team to play would be:

Mannone

Distin  Coleman  Ward or Azpilicueta

Hazard  YYT  Johnson  Silva

Lukaku  Aguero  Suarez

subs:  Adrian Ward or Azpilicueta Ki Rosenior

9 players would play twice.  The exceptions are Hazard and Suarez

Mannone is good for the save points.  2 Everton defenders is risky but does have the advantage of Palace at home and Sunderland away who are 2 of the poorer attacking teams.  You can choose between Silva and a Man City defender.  Johnson even as a sub is worth it for 2 DGWs.  Lukaku is the only option attacking at the moment for Everton.

3 changes before DGW37.  I’ve only made 2.

I’ve only made 2 transfers.  Lukaku out for Rooney and Coleman out for Jones.  Man Utd defence is impossible to predict.  He seems the lowest price and the safest.  There is a value gap of around £1.7 on the transfers which makes it difficult but you do have another downgrade option on Distin to save cash.  To go cheaper on Man Utd, you’d have to hope for Evans being fit and playing.   I’ve kept Hazard as home to Norwich and away to Cardiff for the last 2 is not the time to transfer out for me.  As I said the 3rd transfer could be a downgrade of Distin as well as theyre home to Man City to make up some of the transfer gap.

Here’s how the team would be set up:

Mannone

Azpilicueta  Jones  Rosenior 

Hazard  YYT  Johnson  Silva

Rooney  Aguero  Suarez

subs:  Adrian  Distin  Ki Ward

8 DGW players.

DGW34 to DGW37 without Aguero

Here’s how I would see it without Aguero

Here’s how it would look:

Mannone

Coleman  Kompany  Ward or Azpilicueta

Hazard  YYT  Johnson  Silva

Lukaku  Sturridge  Suarez

subs:  Adrian  Azpilicueta  Ki Rosenior

8 players with 2 games.  The alternative would be Dzeko, no City defender and Distin again.  I prefer the City defender myself.

3 changes before DGW37.  I’ve only made 2.

Lukau to Aguero and Coleman to Jones.  Again the value gap exists between the 2 transfers exists and this time not so easy to plug.

Team would be:

Mannone

Jones  Kompany  Rosenior or Azpilicueta

Hazard  YYT  Johnson  Silva

Rooney  Sturridge  Suarez

subs:  Adrian  Azpilicueta or Rosenior  Ki Ward

8 DGW players

Hope that helps.
