Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 32
Like many, our GW31 was rescued late by Christian Eriksen and Josh King – the Viking came up with a goal and assist at Swansea while King cheered ‘most’ of the committee by equalising at Anfield. Of course King only appeared for us due to Llorent’s no-show, so happy days! Eden Hazard contributed 13pts also and those three were the only significant contributors. Captain Fail Sanchez at least tried to justify our faith by adding a clean sheet point but it was a pretty embarrassing display by the remaining eight numpties. We scored just above average – 50pts vs an average of 45 and saw a small red arrow. Not nice. We dropped about 1.5k places to 36,034. So hardly a disaster. It seems that win, lose or draw though we are destined to finish in the 30k bracket! We are beginning to realise how Jose feels this season as that’s the 11th time now that we have ranked in the 30’s and we’ve actually spent 20 of the 31 weeks stuck between 20 and 60k! At least we are consistent if nothing else. Maybe we have been too lenient on some of these wasters for too long, but calls for an emergency wildcard will be batted off by the committee, no doubt. But let’s see…
Our transfer this week is: Nobody!
We have decided to stick this week and take the free transfer into GW33 when we can start planning properly for DGW34. The forwards seem to be an issue at the moment as we are a bit heavy in midfield and a bit light up top but losing any of Erik, Sanchez, Hazard or Siggy right now doesn’t seem right. The only real suggestion this week was to replace either Carroll or Llorente with Origi, Benteke or Negredo but it all felt a bit like replacing a damp plaster with… another soon to be damp plaster. We have just £0.9m in the bank too so the options are limited without a hit or some major surgery. Certainly the likes of Kun are out of our range. So we stick with what we have and will go at GW33 with a spare transfer and assess that limp attack again. No doubt still in 30,000th place or so!
The Team in full this week…
Our captain is: Christian Eriksen
This was a split decision to say the least. Erik, Sanchez and even Siggy all received votes. Which probably says a lot in terms of there being many good choices this week, but also maybe us not having many of them! Erik stumbled across the line but his 2 goals and 3 assists in the last 5 games does oil the wheels a bit. Watford being more or less safe and Spurs wanting to crank up the pressure on Chelsea helps too.

Hello friends..So, this is my team for the week. Taking a punt on Negredo as he also has DGW. But, is my front 7 good to go or you guys recommend something else? Have been very lucky lately and have seen 9 consecutive green arrows. Hope to see the tenth one this week. What say?
Constantine
Seems fine to me. AOA chip till available to you?
Nope buddy. No AOA left. Are you set for the week?
I am yeah thanks.
Brought in Aguero and I’ll captain him.
I’m running with Coutinho and Llorente and I’m optimistic on them.
Good move of bringing Aguero in. It’d be good if he scores a brace and people start getting him like crazy. Will help build up value on him. Coutinho will start i believe but llorente may see some gametime only.. He’d start from the bench right? Anyways all the best to you for this week
I’m sure if fit enough both would start.
Good luck constantine
Morning gents
Am I good to go?
0FT £2.2m ITB
Thanks
Can’t see anything wrong with that, beno :thumbup:
Siggy to Sane -4?
Not for me no.
Sigurdsson has six decent fixtures in his final seven – even the other one is United and he’s done the business against them in the past.
Thanks mate
Let’s see me get burned by hazard and aguero now
Bloody sanchez
I might play Brunt over King but I can see what you wouldnt either
Brunt hasn’t really done anything for me yet! If king hadn’t scored against Liverpool I’d agree though
Morning ppl!!!
Should I play Azpilicueta (Bou A) or Nyom (Sou H)?
Or should I bench both and play Siggy (Whu A) using AOA chip
Sid, what’s your front line up?
Lukaku, Negredo, Costa
Lanzini, Alli, Sanchez, Zaha, Siggi
Def is Valencia, Walker, azpi, nyom
Sid, I’d play AOA this week.looks ideal. Siggy can do good against leaky WHU
Sid
If it were me I would play 3-5-2 and save the AOA chip. I would bench Nyom and Negredo I think. If you have brought in Negredo especially for this fixture then my second choice for the bench would be Lanzini I think.
Reason being, your three big defenders have reasonable games and could all get clean sheets.
GP & Constantine, thanks for your inputs. Bought Negredo last week, but if I don’t play him in home game against burnley, he shd really not be in the team. Preferring Lanzini over siggi. It’s only about siggi vs azpi in the end.
Was going to go with AOA chip this week but since Coutinho can’t keep his dinner down i guess this will have to do.
Good luck everyone!
Brought in Sane for Pedro. Not much else I can do without taking hits. Good to go?
specialK
Looks good to me mate.
Cheers GP, best of luck this week.
After much agonising,transfers done !! Tadic,Deeney,Alonso out…….Hazard,Negredo,Holgate in !!! Cheers for the Negredo tip Cookie ! Lets do this !!! :biggun:
We should really captain our new hero…… 😉
How the mighty have fallen :winktongue:
He’ll be in all your teams before you know it.
Well, apart from Mito’s!
What level of hit Brooky?
-4 mate…
Not bad then.
Its just its Negredo….
Then again if they dont cut loose, they are done (and I suspect they are done already)
Yeah i know,couple of decent fixtures and the dgw so worth a punt as an enabler otherwise i wouldn’t have gone near.Would have gone for Aguero but my rival has him and i’m chasing a big lead !
Glorious 😉
