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.

Guys is my 11 good to go?
Should I get another DGWer?
Worried about Valencia not playing
Thanks
Sorry 0 FT and 1.6m
I am worried I don’t have Kane.
Or another good cappo option. I am actually considering buying DDG and capping him.
Jak to de gea? King to Herrera or Vardy to Rashford or Rooney
beno
Vardy to Benteke, no?
Yeah that would work if you reckon!
Not worried about the defence?
good evening guys, confused about 2 things :
1. is the team good to go ??
2. is benteke the best captain choice ??
Hi hochoki, yes team seems fine unless you’re feeling adventurous and fancy a punt on Negredo for Lukaku. I’m captaining Tekkers but I can’t say I’m overly confident about it!
Stick with Kane Kun and Lukaku or bring in negredo or tekkers?
Stick mitro. Too many people getting lured just because it’s a DGW
I know I know but what happens if tekkers and negredo do what Austin and tekkers did a couple of years ago!!
Mitro
I know we joke mate but in all seriousness, that is as good a forward line as you can get right now I think.
I wouldn’t alter that despite the DGW. You’ll want to carry those three for the rest of the season I think.
GP – I do have my WC so I can deal with everything next week!
After much deliberation and hair pulling, I think I’m happy with this lot. Fingers crossed Miki gets gametime.
Just the one decision I’m not sure of. Have I chosen the best two defenders?
I think you’re team is set as is.
Congratulations on the promotion – I don’t think I’ve seen you since then.
PUP :ok:
Thanks GP. It’s been slightly annoying being the other side of the world when we finally got out that league, but I’ll have a couple of enjoyable games to come back to.
I remember absolutely destroying my mate for cappo’ing Negredo earlier in the season. He’s gonna laugh when he sees my team!
Hmm I would actually choose holgate over pieters. Holgate actually has shots in goal I’ve been watching him play unlucky not to score one really
Thanks BarcaFan. That’s exactly the choice I’m unsure of!!!
No worries Banjo, all the best for this gameweek.
I changed it on your advice at the last second 😉 good luck to you too.
Whatever, I just went for it, last minute. Boro must fight and maybe concede. Negredo must get goals.
Brought in Negredo and DDG for a hit and got rid of Foster and Costa. Capping Negredo.
I like!!!!
Risky, best of luck Raz hopefully everything works out
Butland is back. Time to shift grant on lads.
