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?

Has anyone ditched Alli for Coutinho?
I’m considering that exact move (see below). Not sure how else I can squeeze him in. Could easily backfire though.
Yeah that’s the problem I’m having trying to do my move is that they could all blow up in my face
Yep just done it
Think I’m about to do that move hammers
Think it’s a good move seeing as eriksen could play instead.
Here we go then! Good luck everyone, may your points be plentiful!
Good look pal!
With my ML all wrapped up, what’s my best move with this lot for overall rank? I’ve got 1FT and 0.9 ITB.
Can you afford Sane to Coutinho? Not saying that’s any better though
Nope! It’s Sanchez or Alli. And Sanchez is going nowhere. I think I’m gonna do Alli to Coutinho. Can’t see any other interesting options.
Holding to anyone from Southampton?…… just kidding ha ha
How about just doing Holding to Lovren? You have Cech so it saves a double up and surely Liverpool keep a CS?
‘Surely Liverpool keep a CS’?! 😉
That actually sounds like a good move tho. All season I’ve been so focused on the front 7, perhaps I should learn my lesson and use my final FT on defence.
Yeah not looking after my defence is something that’s hurt me! Your front 7 are great TBH and Alli to Coutinho could work but could end up being sideways too!
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt from this season, it’s that the back 4 is pretty important, and I need to focus a little less of the attacking 7 every week. I might put that in to practice immediately and do exactly as you’ve suggested!
Good look today mate! Hope it’s a belter for you!
Thanks mate. You too.
Morning all,
This is what I’m considering. Have a 4pt lead. Concerned about hazard playing ( like eveyone else) should I swap him to eriksen or pedro for a -4 to cover what my rival already has?
Cheers
Nope wouldn’t do -4, you have good enough backup so don’t give away lead
Yeah keep it as it is
Nope, for free yes but not for a hit as the guys say you have sufficient back up!
hammers
With a 4 point lead I wouldn’t give it away with a hit before a ball is kicked.
I actually think Hazard will start.
Hey Hammers stick with it agree with GP thk Haz will play some pt good luck mate 😉
Thanks all
Gonna stick and cross fingers
If Eriksen starts today do we thk Son will still start ??
Son got taken off in mid week after all those points so I’d expect him to start
Gents
My head is killing!! Do I take out hazard and bring in coutinho or is there a better move? (Rival has brought in hazard and I’m chasing down 8 points)
I’d be tempted to put in some Liverpool coverage. Hazard is your Chelsea coverage though if they go nuts. I presume you can’t do Coutinho for Sane. Maybe Lallana but not totally sure
Don’t have the funds to do sane to coutinho unless I take a hit which for the first time in my life I think is a big no no!! KDB to hazard? KDB does get most of points at home!?
Sorry meant KDB to coutinho!
Mitro
You have three City. I would be hopeful that Sane and Jesus would return decent points for you should City win and win big.
Coutinho fo KDB isn’t sounding too bad to me actually. I would match your man with Hazard.
Here’s is team GP
hi Mitro. Is it for free? Whats the bank situation?
I’d question if Stephens should play and certainly should be first sub I think
Yes dreamers it’s my FT! I have 0 ITB!
Good shout on Stephens I was thinking about it last night
Hi Mitro
Watford are shite , on bad run and conceding for fun. I wouldnt be losing KDB. If you do feel 3 are too much, you could get in Siggy perhaps?
Or else Cech to Migs?
