Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 38
Welcome to Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 38. We had it off big time. We ******* had it off. We planned (ish), we hoped (a lot), we got lucky (extremely). But we’ll take it – it’s been a long season, there have been ups and downs, but it sure feels good to report a DGW score of 193. We played our Bench Boost of course, but given that Gabbiadini and Holgate scored just a single point between them, it makes the contributions from elsewhere even more special. Of course many of you will have returned similarly impressive scores, so we won’t go on too much. However it would be wrong not to recognise another Alexis DGW masterclass, 20pts from Azpi, 19pts from Jesus and of course Thursday’s evening’s finale from Spurs which saw our Spurs pair of Kane and Son return 50pts. We are now sat in 13,608th place, a season’s best and we’d love one more week of green arrows to record a top 10k finish. Here are the details of our final transfer and our GW38 Captain…
The FF247 Team for GW38…
Our Transfer – Manolo Gabbiadini OUT, Sam Vokes IN
Hardly the glamour transfer we imagined we would end the season on but our options were somewhat limited. Gabbiadini trolled us in the DGW, missing the first game and then missing a penalty in the second to finish on a grand total of zero points. And we don’t think he will start this one. We may as well have bought Anichebe and that just about sums up that particular debacle…
And so in comes the in form Vokes. Speaking of trolls, within our budget it was either him or Benteke. We’ve gone with the one with a home game and he also has 3 goals in his last 2 games. Plus West Ham seem to have given up the ghost if last weeks result is anything to by. Plus he may or may not be on pens. That one depends on who else is on the pitch at the time it seems. We spent 20 minutes of our lives discussing and researching that particular topic!
We couldn’t leave it there really without discussing Hazard. His potential minutes this weekend have been a hot topic this week given that he played the full game on Monday. We have no idea whether he will start is the short answer on that. Had we not had any other issues we would have probably sold him for Coutinho this week. We still could have of course but then it would have been for a hit which seemed to be stretching it a bit.
Our Captain is Harry Kane, our Vice Captain is Jesus
This was a fairly unanimous vote. Even though two of the committee are devout anti-Kane disciples, one of them still voted for him. Spurs seem intent on seeing the season out in style and we saw what they are capable of with the shackles off the other night. Four may be stretching it but would anyone be at all surprised to see him hit another hat-trick here?

The Fixture Tracker…
Hi all! After a monumental swing I’m now leading my ML after being over 100 points behind a month ago! I’m now 41 ahead going into this last week. My team is below and I have 1.4 in the bank. Can anyone suggest what I should do? Thinking of Gabbiadini out but would only have 7.8 to spend on someone else. Is there anywhere else in my team that could do with an upgrade instead? Thanks and good luck for the last week!
You can play 3-5-2 so no need to care about Gabbiadini.
Only need to make a transfer if you want to change the defence. You could take a punt on Matip or Mawson.
I have Alli and Hazard. Is it worth -4 to replace one of them with Coutinho? If so, which one?!
Jim Bob
Depends on your ML situation. What do you need to do?
I think both Hazard and Ali play if that helps.
Nobody taking a punt on Siggy?
Thought about it Raz but didn’t do it
Well folks, this is my 11 to try and claw back 28pts. Did Haz/Gabbi to Cesc/Sturridge, will cappo Studge as my differential. Good luck to everyone today wether your protecting leads, chasing leads or just going for a better OR. :thumbup:
GL Elle looks like 2 good moves to me
Cheers Photek.
All the best Elle.
Guys do I need to move Hazard and for who coutinho or kdb? This is driving me crazy.
Looks good enough to me man u man.
Follow your gut though.
Hey King owners, what do you make of this instagram post? Does it sound like he plans on playing today?

Could be taken either way Red, think everyone has a decent bench now so if he doesn’t play just make sure we all have our subs in order!
He’s replied on that picture that he has a small injury and is not playing. Take it for what it’s worth but get your bench right if you’re starting King! Think this means I’ll bring in Vokes with my last FT for Anichebe so I don’t need to play 4 at the back if King really is out.
Yikes!! Good spot red! Monreal or Ndidi first sub? ( just incase!)
Sounds like he is not playing Red.
He’s defo not playing
Best King replacement for 8.3 with a FT? Fabregas, Siggy, Pedro, Willian? Anyone else? Or just get Vokes/Llorente for Anichebe and play 3-4-3?
I feel terrible I have 3 Chelski players, their 3 best and I don’t know which one will start if any. So not touching Chelsea. Siggy at home still looks decent to me.
How about Saane?
Already have Sane and my 3 City limit Raz. You think Siggy will want to finish strong or are they on the beach already? Do you like Vokes/Llorente or Siggy for a final day punt?
Hard to say Red. If I would have any player of Swansea it would be him. He has been on pretty much everything. They are playing a team with big boys so scoring with the head will be hard, so is there assist potential? If not with the head he is on freekicks and penalties.
Red
Sigurdsson should be worry free if you go for him mate.
Thanks GP, did exactly that. Not the time to take risks for me. Best of luck today my friend!
It’s all over Twitter now Red that he is out !!
Scenes, Brooky! Scenes!!
