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.

#heregoesnothing
Hi all,
Starting line-up is:
De Gea (Robles)
McAuley, Azpil, Baines (Cedric, Keane)
Eriksen (C), Siggy, King Sterling (Fletcher)
Costa, Aguero, Origi.
Am I good to go? There would be no point in taking a hit to bring in Hazard and a weak striker for Costa and Fletcher?
team looks good, there’s no need for a hit
Cheers Dawids, would you play Cedric or McAuley ahead of Baines or Keane?
Any DGW left in the season?
Got Triple Captain left and if not, Eriksen against Watford could be my best chance.
GW34 has Man Uts doubling, GW37 looks like having plenty of doubles – have a look at the fixture tracker at the bottom of this article.
The big one, GW 37. Also whenever they schedule Ars v Saints in addition.
2 more DGWs left, see the bottom of this article for fixtures list
There’ll be three, we still need confirmation on the Southampton – Arsenal game.
I went for Ibra and Gibson in
Vardy and Bertrand out
mixed feelings especially for Ibra but good set up for GW 34. hopefully no injuries and I hope to save 2 transfers for dgw.
Best of luck to everyone
Strong squad mate
Thanks. I hope they can.deliver.
I will keep an eye on your score and wish you to get to top 500! Really impressive OR.
