Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 34
Welcome to Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 34. Another week, another small green arrow, but at least it’s better than a red one and we’re back in the top 50k. Woohoo!! Our score of 57 was 11 better than the average of 46, so we have to be fairly happy with that. Our new recruits had mixed weeks – Kane kicked us off with a 12 point haul and how close we were to captaining him – while Zaha did nowt despite Palace scoring two at home to Leicester. Never mind, the Zaha purchase was with this week’s double game-week in mind so he best be saving his points for this week. Elsewhere, Valencia contributed a surprise clean vs Chelsea, Walker made a guest appearance for Spurs for another clean sheet, Eriksen made an assist, Lukaku does what Lukaku does, jeez even Andy Carroll gave us 5pts! So, all things considered, it was ok and we now sit in 49,057th place.
This weeks transfer/s: Andy Carroll to Alvaro Negredo
With big Andy ruled out early this one felt like it was going to be an easy decision – a quick Negredo or Benteke debate and out. Oh how little did we know… One simple question “Ok then, so who do we bench?”, and 24 hours later the debate made the American election process seem both short and logical. Our midfield, to recap, is Erik, Siggy, King, Zaha and Hazard. So you can probably appreciate the issue we had! Benching Carroll was of course debated also but there seemed to be a strong pull towards getting a DGW forward so suggestions such as PVA in were quickly dismissed. Negredo himself won a close and controversial vote by 3-2 over Benteke.
And then we got on to who to bench…! There were votes, there were re-votes, there was election rigging, there was bribery, there was question loading, there were lies, there were more re-votes… The main debate centred around whether to bench either Siggy or Erik. Siggy has a home game and everything to play for, as well as basically doing everything for his team. Erik is away from home and is more just a cog in a well oiled machine that just happens to be the best team in the league right now and is scoring for fun. So yeah, it was always going to be a close call. We think that Erik won. That’s what we are going with anyway. For the record, Mito voted to bench……. Negredo!!!
The Team in full this week…
Our captain is: Alvaro Negredo
Never in the history of the site team has one player caused so much division! He caused arguments entering the team, never mind captaining the damn thing. He’s the teflon kid this week though as not only did he somehow kick Siggy to the bench he made it all the way to the main stage. It was close though, as Kane got 2 votes to his 3. Let’s hope his luck rides on through the DGW. We know that playing for a team who has scored the least goals out of all 92 league clubs may not be the best recommendation for a captain choice! But he has showed flickers of life recently, has the best set of DGW fixtures and has a lot to play for. So yeah, we are laying out the FPL prayer mats as we speak.

Negredo scored in 6 of the 33 games……………..
And he will probably bang in a Hattie this GW!!
Have you got him raz?
Hey everyone long time lurker new here. With ibra out and Mourinho stating that Rooney has to play and the doublegameweek for united happening this week anyone else considering Vardy to Rashford or Vardy to Rooney? Could be a great differential
I would only be considering rashford
Right same here until Mourinho practically confirmed Rooney will feature.
The problem is Rooney has done little all season and looks a fraction of the player he was.
Without Ibra and Rashford, United won’t score many. And it’s not like Burnley concede that many.
Welcome to the site by the way!
Hey everyone, for the DGW (and a -4 pointer, with AOA to put Davies on the bench) Would you go Miki or Herrera?
IMO – miki
Milky, why would you want either?
Morning
Isn’t tekkers a better option than negasho?
Am I set for this GW? (no hit – my rival has done a -8)
Or do I do this?
Leave it alone Mitro
With the deadline being at 2pm I suspect that will be difficult 😉
Leave it! Team looks great
Don’t do that Mitro.
Alright bought in Herrera Rashford and Rooney captained Rooney and played all out attack. All or nothing
I hope Mourunho plays 4-4-2 Rashford Rooney strikers Mkhitarian Martial right and left mids, Pogba and Herrera CM and Valencia bailey Darmian and Shaw or Blidk defence that’s what I would do.
You have a lot of confidence/ hope in United scoring a few! I hope you’re right.
Rooney?Who is Rooney?
BarcaFan99 – you need to change your nick there mate. Should read UtdFan2010
Or even Farwell.3
Morning all,
While the kids watch Madagascar I’ve been catching up on this weeks articles. Thanks to Guy, Mito, GP, Swirly & Cookie for all their efforts 😉
After reading capos I’ve ended up with Negredo as my capo
Clearly you don’t own Hazard then?!!
Not yet, but I will soon…
I was getting slammed for buying Negredo four weeks ago..And captained him too …Now everyone is mad about Negredo
Mad about or just mad?
Or option 3, mad-agascar?
Boom boom
Sorry about my English,i am not a native english speaker.
So please forgive me if i have mistaken you, and you couldnt understand what i wanted to say.
I’ll try it better next time 😉
My appologies again
Not at all Tommass, was just everyone joking about the madness of Negredo’s popularity!
DGWs make us do some crazy things!
How you set for this week?
Hey Tommass, nothing to be sorry for mate. I was just ‘trying’ to be funny but it obviously got lost in translation
Your English is just fine Tommass. They are just playing about.
Personally I cannot see the point of Negredo but time will tell.
Shame on you Leprechaun, you have just become Mito’s best friend 😉
I know Kop warrior, yeah.i was trying to be funny too :)Hope my english is ok
Thanks cookie i am all set..just Ibra was a waste of a transfer last week,but i still have 5 DGW players..and the rest of the team is looking good..so hoping for another good gameweek
This is my team btw 😉
Looks good Tommass, look at that lovely captain
People can be very fickle Tommass 😉
ah well..what comes round goes around…or something like this, again please forgive me if there is any mistakes in this
