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.

anyone worth a -4? 5.5 itb, will wc gw36.
19 behind in one ML and about 100 in the other. The bigger one is gone. Other is fairly competitive from places 1-10
Since you’re chasing, perhaps gamble for Williams to Gibson? Otherwise the squad looks great. Kane cappo is interesting, thought it’d a more popular option this week but not many are considering that
thanks neo – just dont see Boro keeping any CS’s. I think they are down but draws are no good to them. they need to cut loose
Is DDG worth a -4?
IMO a DGW is always worth a hit, although this GW34 has perhaps been the most difficult for years
Colonial!
It’s starting to remind me if QPR & Villas DGW from a few years ago! I didn’t bring many in and got burned!! Seriously thinking just to go all out and do a -8 and get in rashford and DDG!
Don’t die wondering Mitro
Lol I hate these late deadlines!
C’mon Mitro, do what you do best!
#WWMD 😉
Exactly – your apathy is ruining your reputation
What would Mito do?
Don’t worry I will do something stupid!!!
If I really wanted to do another transfer which would be the better option?
A. Kun/Lukaku to rashford/tekkers
B. Amat to shaw
Don’t lose Kun or Luk
for a hit and Mrs Shaw wouldn’t even buy Luke.
Any other options?
MITRO
Do not know your team but have you Hennessy who is good for GW 35 and I guess Bailly is sure ti start for MU – I made the first for a hit!
No
Morning guys,
Been busy moving house over last few weeks but been reading posts etc. Now in Cornwall!
I have got the armband on Lukaku as he is my best option without FA cup game. Only got Valencia for the double. This dgw has not appealed to me much tbh.
I have 1ft, 0.5 inb and absolutely no idea what to do! Even Siggy has a chance this week. Any ideas?
Thanks
If you don’t want to attack this dgw,then start planning for the ahead ones.You could save the FT if you don’t want dgw players.
Or maybe Aguero to Kane?
Who to bench?
I’m leaning towards Walker as I don’t think he will play more than 10-20mins this gw.
Probably Walker.
DDG
Baines, Valencia, Friend
Townsend, Sanchez, Son, Siggy
Aguero, Lukaku, Negredo (c)
SUBS: Heaton, Davies, King, Yoshida
As I am trailing in my ML by 95 points and 21 points respectively, I want to take another hit on by transfering out Aguero for rooney or Son for Pogba/ lingard..
I will WC next week so.. this is really a one week punt.. what are your opinion about that?
P.S. I really do believe that mourinho will restrict city from scoring
Vaskar..take the risk.. You don’t have any thing to lose.
Morning guys,
Seems a good split between those who are really attacking this DGW and those who are approaching it with a little more reserve!
Feels strange that I’m in the reserved camp but I’m just not convinced that taking hits for any more DGW players is worth the risk this week. Obviously I could be totally wrong in my approach as anything can happen but here’s how I’m set up currently!
I’m concerned Kun will be benched if Jesus is back but he’s been playing relatively well and only hope he starts and Jesus is eased in from the bench!
Got a good feeling about Sanchez this week hence the (C) I’ll probably get burnt!! I’ve got Kaku as my VC in case anything happens to Sanchez in the cup game.
My only other concerns are that I’ve only got 1 bench player should anything go wrong or anyone’s dropped rotated but it seems silly to -4 for a bench warmer.
Ok questions :
1. I could bring in another DGW defender for Nyom ( would have 5.2 to play with) and stick Alonso on the bench -4
2. Who will score more king or Origi?
3. Who will score more king or Rashford/negredo
Thanks in advance guys and good luck to you all whichever your approach this week!
Hey Rosco,
I’d have King to ourscore Origi &
Rashford. Obviously King Alvaro is going to rule supreme this week 😉
Keep Alonso in there.
Well the KING has been absent most of this season so I am not sure about all this support
