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…
Hey guys, hit a nice 175 pts in the big dbl gw so happy with that.
I lead my ml by around 60pts to 2 guys i’ve got most of their big hitters covered, my main concern is keeping Haz in my team as i’ve got a feeling he won’t really play.
Should i take him out for Courtinho or Alli to cover 1 of my rivals?
current team: 1ft 0.9itb
Cab
Davies Holding Yosh (Stephens, Holgate)
Sanchez Haz King Matic (Xhaka)
Kane Jesus Costa
probably Coutinho
Last game of season though. Can be a lot of goals and wudnt be surprised if Hazard is involved in those , even off bench
I could downgrade Haz to Cesc or Pedro. Thoughts on which one to get please.
See above Elle, i got the same dilemma with Haz. If i was to pick one, i’d go Cesc to start and do well
Think Cesc is best
Haz or KDB to coutinho?
Haz of those two Mitro
You 100% mate?
Shitting myself big time!!
Good morning guys, how goes the last minute tinkering? I have 1 FT left and I’m still wondering if I should bring in Vokes/Llorente for Anichebe so I have an attacker lined up as 1st sub, or if I should bring in Matip for Holgate and start him along with Yoshida and Alonso with either Stephens/Vert as 1st sub. Does anyone have strong feelings one way or the other? I got some great feedback yesterday but I still can’t decide! :say-what:
Hey Red. If I was bringing in someone, it would be to play. The bench is strong enough.
I’d play Stephens over Yoshida. Seems to get more bonuses.
Would you start Calallero over Cech?
Whats itb?
Hey Dreamers, thank you. I actually ballsed up that screenshot as I did Haz to Coutinho already and have 2.2 ITB. Bringing in someone to start on the field makes good sense though, I do have decent enough players to come on if need be.
I’d say leave it at that then Red
Hey Guys,
I need a bit of guidance please.
Leading my ML by 40 and inside the top 3k so both are important
My team. Rival team
Cech, Pickford. Cech, Caballero
Cahill. Alonso
Holgate. Davies
Stephens. Stephens
Yoshida. Yoshida
Holding. Holding
Sanchez. Sanchez
Hazard. Hazard
Son. Eriksen
Sané. King
Ndidi. Magic
Kane. Kane
Jesus. Jesus
Vardy. Llorente
Both have 1FT and 0.2 itb
I am thinking that the ML is almost certain but with a slight risk of one of his players doing something amazing.
Biggest risks – Eriksen, Alonso, King, or Llorente
I have Son to hopefully cover Eriksen and in any case it is an away game
I doubt that King will score 3 or 4 away to Leicester (he is not Kane!)
Alonso could score or get an assist but that is not enough to make up for Cahill covering the CS
Llorente could get something, maybe even 2 or 3 against a WBA team that has not cared for weeks!
So thinking of getting a little cover for the Ml but trying to get something extra for the OR
Options
1 not worried about ML: Sell Vardy for Sturridge
2 some concern for ML but looking at OR: Sell Vardy for Llorente and sell Sané for KdB (-4pts)
3 only looking at ML: Sell Vardy for Llorente and Sell Son for Eriksen (-4pts)
What do you think?
My te
hey Leprechaun
Nice team and rank.
I expect a response from Leicester so wouldnt sell Vardy. Son seems as likely as Eriksen and I wouldnt be surprised if Swansea come down off the high of safety. Sane to King maybe covers something ?
Cheers Dreamers. Appreciate the reply.
Do you think King could go wild? Well of course he could, but I am doubting it.
Would King be a good cover for my OR?
Hey guys.. you all set for the final show? I need your suggestions. My rival is 13 points ahead of me. Doesn’t own either of Jesus/ Aguero/ Coutinho/ Kane. But got lucky with TCing Sanchez. I want Kane and Coutinho in my team. But, don’t want to get rid of Aguero. The only way possible looks to take a -8 hit again. Is it advisable? Team attached. What should i do ? Cheers all
Hi Constantine
sometimes the obvious is the best path. Its Kane or Ageuro and I’d have Kane.
no to the minus 8 for me
+1
Taking that much of a hit could backfire if the moves don’t go well and then you are well off that leader place. I know its last game of the Season and chances need to be taken but it can go badly too lol. You have a really good team here with differentials in Ozil and Son. Unless you bumped Ozil for Coutinho and kept it at that.
Just my take on it.
Thank you both of you. I think even though I know that Kane would most probably score, I still want to keep hold of Aguero. I’ve held for this long, so….Anyways, only thing i care about right now is my ML.As my rival doesn’t have Kane, he’s one less problem for me. Hope Aguero shows us what it’s like to own him as has always been. May be I’d take a punt on Origi too..Cheers guys
