Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 33
Welcome to Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 33. For fup sake. 55 fupping points. Ok, that’s the obscenities out of the way but c’mon, 55 points? I haven’t checked but I doubt we have been below the average on many occasions this season but we were in GW32. It may have been by just 1pt but we were still below it. We should’ve known what was in store at lunchtime on Saturday as Kyle Walker was rested and captain Eriksen picked up a solitary assist despite Spurs putting four past Watford. Our keeper and three defenders weighed in with a massive 6pts and with Antonio Valencia needing yet another rest we played the gameweek with just 10 players. 10pts from Eden Hazard were very much appreciated as were the nine from Josh King who climbed from our bench to replace Eyeore. Romelu Lukaku chipped in with two goals but the less said about Alexis Sanchez & Arsenal on Monday night the better. Naturally we ended the gameweek with a sizeable red arrow and we now sit 52,078. Some tough decisions need to be made…
Our transfers this week are: selling Alexis Sanchez and Fernando Llorente and buying Wilfried Zaha and Harry Kane.
Tough decisions were taken indeed and they come no tougher than selling Llorente. Only joking! They come no tougher of course than selling Alexis, who has been so good for us this season and is the highest points scorer in FPL. However, we are at that time of the season where big and possibly stupid decisions are made. And we have made it! No goals or assists in his last three matches was enough to attract the axe with not even two double game-weeks to follow enough to save him. Selling Alexis means of course we can buy Kane and also young Wilfried of South London – Zaha is in great form and despite a tough set of fixtures on the horizon, his form and double-game-week next week justified his inclusion while Kane of course needs little explanation or reasoning. Getting rid of Llorente is just a bonus.
The Team in full this week…
Our captain is: Romelu Lukaku
Despite his 13pt haul last week, Big Rom only just won the vote with Kane running him close. With the votes at 2-2 the deciding vote went to the Everton striker from a source who was against selling Alexis, so it was probably personal against Kane. From such reasoning, leagues are won and lost. C’mon Rom! Kane is vice-captain if required.

hi all, played my WC but trying to decide on a solid defender (already have Alonso and Jagielka as my 2 other starting defenders). I have 5.2 ITB. I am between Davies (Spurs) and Gibson (MID) and Shaw (MUTD)
Davies has the easiest game this GW. But he may be benched in the future when Rose is back.
Gibson has a DGW coming up. But has a tough current GW.
Shaw has a DGW coming up but is at rotation risk.
Next week I plan on using my FT for Ibra. So what would you do? Or is there another defender I have not considered that I should be?
What about Southampton djemba?
Two tricky looking games next but they have more games and therefore more points potential than most.
I would go Valencia from United if it’s one of the teams you mentioned.
Thanks, sorry forgot to mention I also have Yoshida already. So i’ve covered Southampton. Maybe stick with Davies this week and take a -4 hit for a MUTD defender next week?
If I’m in your position on a wildcard I would be setting up for the rest of the season as best I could without thinking about future transfers I would need to make. Especially for -4 and especially for defenders.
Nothing wrong with United defenders now in my eyes.
think Shaw will start regularly?
Gents
Team for GW33; good to go?
Keep Alexis, not sure Kane plays 90mins today. They’ll need him for Chelsea next week.
Lol cheers cookie 😉
Mitro
Walcott plays for me mate. King sits I think.
Overall very good.
Aguero would be a brilliant captain pick week. I think he’s being overlooked.
Cheers GP – I just done the standard -4 and king was part of that
So here’s me for those who are vaguely interested.
hey TGP – would it be an idea to play AOA if u have it?
Long gone mate. Week 6 i think.
Hey all. Have 2 FT’s but nothing in the bank this gw…I’m not really sure what I should do so any ideas are appreciated
Aquero to Kane seems like a popular move, but i would do Siggy to Alli and save one transfer
Kilbeg
Sterling to Zaha and save a transfer gets my vote.
you should listen to GP not me :winktongue:
Wafflez
In fairness, Alli is a great shout for his team. I like Sigurdsson for his next two though, that’s the thing.
Cheers for the input guys…but I bit the bullet and brought in Alli and Zaha
yea but i realised that there werent funds enough for siggy yo allli so Zaha with an upcoming dgw and great form makes sense
Morning all
Agonising over capt this week,
Leading by 40 ish points in main ML
it’s down to Ali or Luka.
Main rival doesn’t have Ali so guessing he’ll go Luka.
Am I set.
Tough one BigP
Both great calls, if your gut is saying Alli (as in the picture), then stick with that.
Play:
A) Holebas (SWA)
B) Valencia (CHE)
I’m not paying 5.5+ to bench a defender so I’d start Valencia over the yellow card machine.
My Thoughts as well. Cheers!
