Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 31
Cutting straight to the chase this week, as time is of the essence, we scored 50 points in GW30 which was 10 above the average and it saw us register yet another green arrow, which is now 10 of those in the last 13 weeks. It’s ‘slowly, slowly catchy monkey’ though it seems as we’ve only actually risen by 30,000 places in all that time! This week we jumped up 5k to 34,416 overall. We aren’t complaining of course, it all just feels a bit laborious! A bit like our team itself this week actually as there was nothing to get excited about individually, it was more of a collective effort with just the odd goal or assist, here or there. Valencia and Nyom shared a 0-0 which suited our clean sheet bank, Captain Hazard grabbed an assist, Mane and Carroll a goal apiece. And that was pretty much it. This week’s site team meeting was hasty and a bit heated as a result! One naughty schoolboy was even slapped on the wrist and sent away to check his homework as a result of insubordination and cheek. After that the adults continued and here’s what we decided on…
Our transfer this week is: Selling Sadio Mane and buying Alexis Sanchez
Ideally we didn’t want to be doing this ahead of ‘Bournemouth at home’, but such is FPL sometimes, best laid plans and all that… Sadio was unfortunately crocked in the derby but fortunately we had a healthy bank of £3.2mln which was probably always planned and destined to fund an Alexis move at some point in the next few weeks given his imminent DGW’s. We’ve simply brought that decision forward a bit.
West Ham are this weeks opponents and they haven’t won in their last 6, losing the last 4 straight. Away from home in their last 2 they’ve conceded 3 at Bournemouth and 2 at Hull. If Alexis is even slightly on form here he should be able to repay our faith in him.
The Team in full this week…
Our captain is: Alexis Sanchez
The new man has the armband for what we hope will be his 9th double-digit score of the season. The Chilean returned 23pts vs the Hammers in the reverse fixture in GW14 with a hatty and an assist. Same again please pal.

Hey guys,Any suggestions for the team.Who to replace mane and llorente with??Have 1ft and 2.3 m itb.
Shane,
Mane to Alexis for me. Alonso or Fletcher can come in for Llorente if required.
Hi Shane, for what it’s worth, I replaced the pair with Zaha and Ibra.
Thanks guys.So its between who do i want sanchez or ibra.You guys reckon zaha will do well given his fixtures??
Yeah, basically. Ibra suited my team set up more and I’m looking at DGW34 as being more immediate than Sanchez’s doubles. I figure I’ll grab Sanchez on my WC. Same question was posed for the site team and Sanchez suited that one a bit more. Horses for courses and all that.
Why won’t u play King instead of llorente? Liverpool defence is a bit shaky..So I’d expect King to grab something 😉
Best of luck FF247.
Very impressed by that ranking. Suppose if you give five monkeys five typewriters and enough time then Shakespeare will eventually be written. 😉
Ibra for Costa? What do you all think?
Yeh sounds good bennyb. Costa gone off the boil lately and can see Ibra scoring tonight
If your heart desires it Benny, then go for it.
Cheers both, gonna do it. No doubt Costa will find dome form tomorrow!
Afternoon all struggling with my team.
Which option ?
A. Mane to alli? Already have eriksen tho. Can’t afford Sanchez
B. Mane to alli. Siggy to ward prowse
C. -4 hit to try and get Sanchez in.
Or Ibra but for who.
Help lol thanks.
Afternoon Everyone,
Bit of help needed. Doing well in ML but need a little shuffle to try and maximise. 1 FT and 0.7 itb.
Thanks for your help
How much do you have if you sell Barkley?
£7.7mill, limited options there
Yep. May as well keep him with those 2 home games coming up then. What else are you possibly thinking of doing?
