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.

Oooh wait, we have an extended deadline? Games starting late today? What to do with this team? Hehe. Got 1 ft and 0 in the bank.
Was thinking just 1 ft and that would be Foster to Hennessy or 2 fts and do Costa to Negredo and Foster to DDG.
Bloody Valencia. Seemed like a genius transfer a few GW’s ago.
Hey Raz, Foster to DDG works. Costa to Negredo may work but I’d be dumping Neg for Gab next week.
I can only do Foster to DDG if I do ummm Costa to Negro. Wtf is up with Costa by teh way? Heard he was ill last gameweek but he hasn’t shown up for like 5 or 6 gameweeks. Pretty sure he will punish me for sellign him. Everybody suddenly hung on Hazard but Costa is the odd man out. Which is weird, he should be their vocal point.
Anyway, yeah I think DDG will get some points. Capping DDG over Negro or Bentekers might even be worth it. Though, the rotation thing is bothersome.
And yes, I had the Gab move in the back of my mind. Bentekers has a great fixture in GW35 and so does Gabs. Not the best teams but best fixtures for sure.
Views on TCing Negredo?
Recklessly amusing
Yeah, he’s just from the lowest scoring team in the EPL. He scored in just 6 games out of 33. Go do the math. HAHA! 😉
On that note, he did manage to score twice in 2 games where Costa just managed to score twice in 1. 😉
Hmmm, where did my last reply go?
Do it for the laughs.
Look at it as a chance to become an FF247 legend no matter how it turns out.
Either it will be “Constantine the genius”
or
“Remember that time Constantine TC *pauses to laugh… he TC *sorry can’t stop laughing…he TCed Ne..Ne…gredo *still laughing.
Mitro, asstwat. Look 1 up.
Haha..Mito..I’m doing it..Hope I get more than 9 points.
Good luck!!! All the best I’ll look out for you in case you’re gameweek rank 1
This is brilliant!!! I haven’t got him but fingers crossed for u pal.
Just amusing…
Man united double gameweeks are risky who should I captain Rooney or Rashford? Rashford doesn’t have great point returns.
Rooney back from injury and not completely fit. Rashford will be rested 1 game. Go figure. That fact you would cap either is risky. Bentekers and Negredo are the better options, in my opinion. Or even DDG.
Awful fixtures for crystal palace. And I don’t trust Negredo to do well. Fair point on Rooney but Rashford has barely played all season Ibra is 36 and played nearly every single game without rest surely Rashford can step up.
That’s an assumption. We don’t know what Mourinho will do. Ask the United experts here, they are not taking a gamble on Rashford. Few are. Could surely work against them. We have to see.
Also, don’t agree on Rashford not having good point returns. He barely played as a striker, I think. Now he should play as a striker. Unless Mourinho wants to play even slower than Ibra with Rooney. Snail like. Hehe.
Yes I forgot Rashford didn’t play striker when he played the full 90 minutes. I just don’t know if I can risk captaining him if he’s rested Rooney is a risk too unfortunately but I need to capitalise on this DGW
Honestly I have no idea what Jose will do I’m just captaining Rooney as Jose says he has to play whether he’s a sub or not at least Rooney has proven he can score.
He’s still on penalties and set pieces right?
He should be on penalties if he plays. Lol. 😉
Go with Kane the others with DGW are too risky at this stage if you have a high FF position
High risk high reward
differentials are needed this time of the season .
Good luck everyone. Hopefully we’ll see some green arrows. Am i good to go here?
Great looking team. You’re set as far as I’m concerned
Cheers bud.
Good to go?
Yep I’d say so. Shame about Siggy but not much else you can do in that respect.
