Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 28
Welcome to the Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 28. Hmmmm, well the score was ok and I guess that’s all that matters! In financial terms it would be called a “low quality beat” as 54 of our 69 points came from three players – namely Sadio Mane’s goal and assist vs Arsenal, Erik Pieters’ unexpected two clean sheets and Sergio Aguero’s triple captain score of 27. We felt let down by Kun to be honest, it could have been so much better, especially in the Sunderland match. All in all it was ok and a 69 is always welcome. Sadly the other 8 idiots were a complete shambles – Sterling didn’t even bother turning up for the 2nd half of the DGW, Ibra started the ball rolling with a missed penalty and no-one else scored more than two points. We did see a small green arrow, and we mean small as we climbed 1,094 places to 51,460. Let’s move on from a double game-week to a blank game-week!
Our transfers this week are: Sold Sterling, Aguero and Ibrahimovic and bought Sigurdsson, Lukaku and Llorente
The cull has begun! The blank game-week has been attacked, an eight point hit has been taken. The transfers were surprisingly agreed very easily by the committee (well, two of them were at least!) The sale of the trio makes sense – they all blank this week, City’s next three fixtures are vs Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea while Ibra has a little rest coming up. Gylfi speaks for himself, he has scored or assisted in each of his last six and faces Hull, Bournemouth and Boro in his next three. Lukaku is of course also in great form, will be a popular captain choice this week and plays West Brom and Hull, both at home in GW28 and 29. Llorente was a slightly harder sale – is he worth another 4pt hit? The vote decided yes, the fixtures are there as per Siggy and he is also in good form – let’s just hope he can continue that form and justify his inclusion. It was actually the least convinced member of the committee who produced the stats to justify Llorente – Hull have the 5th worst record over the past six matches for conceding shots in the box, with Bournemouth seventh.

Our captain this week is: Romelu Lukaku
It was a close vote between Big Rom and Sadio Mane with Lukaku winning 3-2. Having been overtaken by Kane in the race for the Golden Boot, we hope that the Everton striker uses Kane’s blank week to reclaim the top spot and make it five home matches in a row in which he scores! Mane is our vice captain.

Site Team Article is LIVE btw. We took a shed load of hits
Thanks, Innit. Last week I took a -12 (Hazard, Phillips, Alli and Ibra out: Aguero, Sterling, Sane and Siggy in). I had a mixed bag. The Ibra to Aguero move turns out to have been an inspired one – though not as inspired as it could so easily have been! Phillips to Siggy was also a plus. Haz and Alli baggin big points rather diminished the other two transfers. This week have done -4, with Sterling and Aguero out for Lanzini (!!) and Llorente. My line-up now looks not too dissimilar to the Site team. We shall see whether we were right with our latest moves…
I’ve just done mine. A -8 sees Siggy, Llorente and Mane come in. -2 theory in full force! I’m fairly hopeful that all 3 can show a gain on their ‘investment’. Crucially it doesn’t compromise the team going forward or any future transfer plans. It’s been a good chat / discussion on all this tonight. Albeit mainly on the previous article. Bed now though!
Sweet dreams!
Great moves and if you put it like that (in the sense that you are willing to keep these lads for the next 2/3) the -8 seems in fact like a no brainer.
I have Mane and Luk already and thought about getting Siggy with my FT and leave it at that, meaning no -4 for Fernando. That’s until I realized (2 mins ago) that the bloke has more overall pts than Kun while costing exactly half. Kun out Llorente in, -4 incoming and no regrets.
Cheers lads, your moves made me realize this. I’ll blame it on Bry’s cat if this fails!
Any advice? I have 1FT and 0,5 in the bank.
Aguero/Allen-> Fernando/Siggy
I’m not so sure about Swansea against Hull because of stats… Swansea is not that good when playing away and Hull is good when they are at home…
Any news if Heaton will play or not?
I am usually a silent here but really need to ask for suggestions this week.
1. Which West Ham midfielder would you choose if money isn’t an issue?
2. Advisable to invest in West Ham/Swansea defense?
3. Any update on Phillips?
3. I think we’re gonna have to wait until Pulis’ presser. Not that he’ll tell us anything!
In my opinion…
1. Lanzini
2. Olsson (SWA)
Morning all some good debate on taking hits so I better take another :smiling:
Thats the spirit Silvers!! What moves you making?
Morning all.
People buying another Liverpool mid.
What’s ur plans after this game week with them. ?
I already have mane thinking of bringing in countinho or firminho aswell.
I wouldn’t trust Liverpool
They will score at City
I wouldn’t worry about having 2 Pool mids for the City & Everton games. However if we can’t find a way to break down poorer opposition you might want to ditch one of them shortly after the derby.
I agree Kop.
Not only have Liverpool struggled with the lesser teams but look how Stoke frustrated City this week as well. I suspect more of the teams will start to do this against the very attacking teams. Arsenal have suffered from this before as well. Eventually there will be an adjustment from the best attacking teams but it may take time.
With the news that Phillips is out again I’m now considering bringing in Firmino which will mean doubling up as I already have Mane.
Yeh that’s the problem I got kop
I’m no longer considering Firmino
