Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 35
Welcome to Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 35. We came home alright this week, with a fairly respectable score of 63. Not spectacular but enough to see us rise slightly in the rankings by about 4k to 45,895. And this was despite Captain Negredo stinking the place out. What on earth were we thinking?! At least we weren’t alone on that one… he had a modicum of form and certainly the fixtures in his favour. The clue was probably in him being the centre forward for the lowest scoring team out of all 92 league clubs though. Stats, damned lies, and statistics? Sometimes they are what they are for a reason. As for the others they had to pull him out of the proverbial, and most did just that we are pleased to say. Jaku, Walker and Valencia all brought home a clean sheet, whilst Erik, Hazard and King all got a goal each. Our other two forwards seemed to go on strike in sympathy with Alvaro though.
This weeks transfer – Negredo OUT, Gabbiadini IN
This weeks transfer out needs little explanation, suffice to say! The in one was probably a foregone conclusion too, and although Benteke did garner a little bit of support, Gabbi won with ease. The Saints have notched some decent winning margins at home as of late (4 against Sunderland and Watford and 3 against Palace) and this week sees them play the team with the most amount of goals against them on the road in the shape of Hull who have shipped 41 in that respect.
The Team in full this week…
Our captain is: Harry Kane
Having captained that useless Spaniard last week it should come as no surprise that we have gone for a somewhat more reliable option this week in the form of Harry Kane. Our new signing Gabbi ran him close in the vote but his record against Arsenal swung it Kane’s way, he has scored in all 4 NLDs in which he has played scoring 5 goals along the way. With a goal and two assists in the league as well as a goal against Chelsea in the semi-final last weekend his recent form is also quite good.

Play Ali or eriksen?
Can you not play both?
Both if you have them
Both, Spurs will smash Arsenal tomorrow.
Don’t know who to bench
Zaha for me Shanec
Ali on the bench – NO! I feel Spurs will give the Gunners a big problem and Ali is a big game player IMO
I’d just use my all out attack.
Morning
Am I set for this GW or should I change things and get back in Kun?
Leave it Mitro, if you have avoided the most expensive player this far, he can’t be a priority for you.
Squad looks good mate.
My 3 from city should cover whatever haul Kun gets shouldn’t they?
If they play. My WC team was pretty similar to yours but have now changed it as I just don’t trust pep
Not if Jesus and Sane don’t score and Kun goes Kuntastic.
lol your not helping cookie!
It’s the right answer, just not the one you wanted to hear!
Yep – actually thinking of getting in Kun and arnie and then just take a hit in GW37 😉
It all depends who you think is going to start in City’s attack. From what we’ve seen and Pep’s comments, it doesn’t seem that he wants to start Jesus and Kun together. He did say he thinks it could work but it kinda seemed like a thought for the future, that he doesn’t believe they’re ready now. Also seems like Pep favours Jesus, but it’s hard to bench Aguero.
Hey Guys,
Who to captain?
Pickford
Bailly, Davies, Valencia
Alli, Coutinho, Sanchez, Son
Benteke, Lukaku, Gabbiadini
Valdez, Amat, Smith, Carroll
Lep,
Capo must be your decision my
friend, but for me your best options are Benteke, Gabbiadini, Alli or Coutinho if you fancy some Monday fun!
You are correct Cookie. I am just uncertain between the first 3.
My gut is not speaking to me – and I didn’t even have a curry last night
Lep,
Then go have a hotter curry for lunch – you have time with the late deadline
I agree with you though, it would be out of the first 3 for me. Probably Gabbiadini.
Haha – it’s a bit later here in Asia but still time.
Dinner then?
I am also half considering a hit to bring in either Hazard or Kun for Sanchez or Lukaku.
What do you think?
If you are going to hit, then hit for Kun and Capo the curry out of him!!
leprechaun,
I’d probably go for Benteke or Coutinho
Thanks superS.
My ML rival has taken a hit this week so I have decided to get Kun and make him captain. Cookie did enough to push me over the edge
Morning all,
Think I’m going with this as my final WC team.
I figure kun will be ok for this week but I don’t trust pep going forward so him & Jesus could be a no go area unfortunately. Plan is to swap kun for Costa next week then either king or jwp to sane.
Huth has got good fixtures to the dgw but horrible ones then so may have to change him at some point.
Thoughts anyone.
Nice team Hammers – you know the risks with Davies so no moaning when Rose plays 😉
I am hoping Davies at least plays this week but doubt he can stay in my WC team for next week.
Morning
Quick one
Who to bench ?
King
Sane
Jesus
Ali
Eriksen
Haz
Kane
Gabi
Jesus as I don’t think he’ll start
Yep Hammers is prob right BigP – the danger is he comes off the bench (which he will) and score.
No idea BigP but nice problem to have.
Morning guys,
Held off on my WC and brought in Gabbi, now having a benching headache seems wrong to bench Sanchez! Thoughts?
It does Rosco but it’s difficult to go against any of the rest.
Maybe King as he is away but then again he plays against Sunderland.
Or can Chelsea keep Lukaku quiet? I have a sneaking feeling they might by cutting off all the good supply from midfield.
Rosco,
On current form benching Alexis is correct, but personally I’d play him over Zaha.
Well done on not playing your WC this week, I think you’ve made the right call there.
Yeah I think Zaha would be my thoughts, I’ll give it some thought this AM!
I’ll be hitting WC this afternoon but I just wanted that extra week to look at things!
Avoided the Gabbi rise by bringing him in, missed out on Haz rising but the Bravo news means I have an extra 0.3 with Willy so I’m covered and I can still make my team… but it might change! Kun is my biggest concern but I think if Jesus is up and running then they could get a game each in the DGW so maybe I’ll stick with Costa… who knows!
What’s your plans Cookie WC today?
I bummed my WC in January mate like the indisciplined prick that I am!
Ha ha fair enough! So what’s your plans for 36/37 doing a few hits like are man Mitro?
I’m hitting every week now, chasing big weekly scores!
Contemplating Luk to Costa for -4
