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.

Valencia not sighted and not expected to play.
What’s this about valencia raz?
He wasn’t at the Team hotel last night. Valencia that is, not Raz. No idea where either were to be fair!
thanks Innit.
Maybe i’m right to bench him in my team as below then
He’s not there either!!!
How about Negredo.dgw coming too.
I’ll possibly grab him for the thing itself.
I’d wait on Boro attackers, I can see them going 4-4-2 in the near future as they need to score goals from now on so Gestede might be a decent option.
Not after seeing that headed chance he missed against Swansea !!!
Aye, that was a shocker and as an Negredo owner I wasn’t best pleased as it was a quality cross, I just can’t see them scoring at all without Gestede/Negredo forming some sort of a partnership. Boro are a horrible team to watch as well.
Afternoon all.
Is this good to go?
Only thing I’m not sure about is the defenders.
Cheers
Thank you for the info Cookie.
Should I keep Antonio and get rid of Llorente instead? Origi could be a fun guy to have for some GWs, right?
Viktor, tricky one mate – both have a chance of playing this GW, I would suggest Antonio has more chance of starting than Llorente. I am still weighing up Origi – he could be fun and he could be a frustrating bench warmer…..
Anyone think it’s worth a hit or two to sort this mess out?
0.9 ITB and no FT.
Thinking Sanchez and Zaha for Mane and Sterling.
I’d do the Sanchez move for sure.Flip a coin on the Zaha one !
Afford Sanchez outright. Need to raise the funds by getting in Zaha
Then i’d go for it.Sterling was hauled off at half time against Arsenal,so who knows if he starts against Chelsea !
MIDDLSBROUGH team news – George Friend and Calum Chambers are ‘running and progressing nicely but it’s too early to say when they’re available’ according to Boro caretaker boss Steve Agnew. Fabio is ruled out after suffering concussion at Swansea, while Gaston Ramirez and Rudy Gestede both have a chance to make the squad tomorrow.
