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…
Right starting XI? Got Vokes now hppe
Now hope Coutinho doesn’t score or assist!
Snookie,
That looks good to me.
Hope the luck is with you pal.
+1 even without Coutinho your team looks lethal on paper!
Thank you guys! Hope I can cover 6 points gap and win my ML 😉
Guys and girls. Wow. Had to prove my humanity twice to log on. Nearly failed. But the end is near, of the GW! Not humanity.
Now that I am here please RMT. After reading all the comment I am tempted to go down the Coutinho road.
Cech (Cabagellero)
Stephens- Alonso – Vertonghen( Yoshi- Bertrand)
Eriksen- King- Hazard- Allbrighton (Caroll)
Kane (c)-Costa-Jesus
1.2ITB plus 2FT.
So doing Bertrand+Hazard+Allbrighton can bring me Ake+Ozil+Coutinho for a -4. I got 74 Point lead in ML.
Seems a good move in my mind? Please confirm or just destroy my illusions!! 😉
Think I like it
If you like it then I like it too!!! Cheers Smash!
Kung-Fu
With that type of lead you could do whatever you fancied mate. You ain’t going to blow it!
TGP don’t jinx it haha! My rival also has Ozil so I will kinda block him but take a 4ph. No biggie. Hope Coutinho outscores Hazard though! 😉 That’s the big if – Hazard playing and destroying Sunderland or already with his mind on the FA cup final!
Morning all! So, I’m 22 ahead in my main mini league. Would you play defensive and match some players or stick? He has De Bruyne, Jesus and Sanchez to my Costa, Hazard and Kane. I have 2 FTs. My team is pictured.
Just to piss him off I would get Jesus and Sanchez for Hazard and Costa, your lead is good but he has players that can explode and threaten your lead
Yeah I feel Sanchez is a must and I have concerns about Chelsea resting a few today. Just can’t call it. Don’t want to drop them againsts a poor Sunderland and see him pick them up. He has 1FT and no chips left or WCs left.
I have the same concerns. My team is Pickford, Jakupovic, Azpilicueta, Vertonghen, Holding, Stephens, Kingsley, Hazard, Sanchez, Pedro, Redmond, Carrol, Kane, Jesus, Gabbiadini. I have 1FT and 0.2 in bank. Currently 2nd in mini league, 73 behind 1st but only 12 and 30 ahead of 3rd and 4th. Teams are similar but they have De Bruyne/Mane/Kompany. Do I drop Hazard for De Bruyne or something else? Appreciate any help.
Nige, why the hell has one of your rivals got Mane ?
Sorry should have said Sane!!
Thoughts on must haves this week, if I play attacking
Coutinho? Sanchez? Costa?
Out of those Cliffy Sanchez, Coutinho & Costa in that order.
Agree with Snooks, cover him, job done.
Morning all looking fwd to today last day for FF hope all have a good season.
Yeah dreading the Chelsea line up though Silvers
Morning Smash been a tough odd season for me I’m not sure I thk he might finish with all the big hitters on the field good luck today mate.
Yeah you would have thought so. He can’t have been impressed by conceding 3 goals the other night and players need to keep their fitness levels up
Morning Silvers
Hope you are well mate. :ok:
Mornin All
Im trailing by 18points and the leader will captain Kane….who should I captain from this lot….
Hey super have you any FT gabby might not start maybe go with Courtinho in a must win game.
Hi Silvers
Id Firmino and Walker who were both unlikely to start so i took a -4 early in the week to bring in Lovren and Coutinho……
I would have loved to get rid of Gabbiadini but at this stage Ill just have to leave him be im afraid…….
Coutinho is a good shout….Boro are slightly better organised at the back than Watford and Sunderland was my rationale for chosing between Jesus and Costa……But appreciate the reply and Coutinho may get the nod yet
superstruggler
The Watford City game could be a walk in the park for City. How about Jesus?
Morning folks, got to chase a 28 point deficit, hard i know, but gonna give it a go. Which wY to go ?
Coutinho + Benteke (c).
Son + Sturridge (c).
Lallana + Sturridge (c).
I do have Spurs cover with Alli + Kane but no Liverpool cover at all. Could Son be benched and Erik plays today ?
Might be worth the gamble of the two Liverpool boys then
