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…
I am 30 points off my ML leader so how about this for a power play. lol
Ali and Hazard out > Kdb and Coutinho in.
Heres how that looks with the rest of my team.
Good luck to everyone today!!
To make up 30 in one GW is a lot with teams now similar. Good moves. I think you will also need to captain someone other than Kane – Coutinho, KDB or Jesus – maybe even Sanchez
Hi, I’ve got 2 questions, help much appreciated!
Captain options: alli or hazard. Alli vs hull who concede alot and hazard might even miss the game but the better player overall? Not sure who to give captain and vice captain.
Also, defoe out who’s worth 7.4m, allowing me to bring in either: Benteke who’ll face a 2nd hand united team, llorente vs West Brom who have been good so far or vokes who is amongst Barnes and gray for options, facing a shambles West Ham side.
1) Captain & Vice Captain option: dele/hazard?
2) Defoe out for: benteke, llorente or vokes?
Out of the 2 i’d lean towards Alli as i’m not confident Haz needs to play with the cup in mind.
You could take a punt on Origi as your 3rd striker as Pool have to go for the win to make sure of 4th
hey guys
ATM I have 2 Southampton defence and Holding on bench. Thoughts?
I’m playing Cech but that’s different. Everton is a hot-cold team but at home they should do good.
hey Raz – so you saying play the Southampton boys?
If I was you I would play Azpi instead of one of the Soton guys
hi leprechaun, I am playing him already
You could obviously minimize the risk and start Holding for one of them Dreamers. If Holding doesn’t play you’ll get double Saints anyway when they sub on. The dreaded 3 minute cameo from Holding is always a risk though! On paper the Saints boys have a nice home fixture though, it’s a tough call.
Hi Red – one of my ML rivals has 2 Arsenal defence so I guess to cover him I should
Hmm, my current team. I have 2 fts and ummm 0.2m in the bank. What to do? I need to bring in Coutinho right?
Even eying the cupgame, I am pretty sure that the likes of Costa/Hazard/Alsonso will all future? Especially Costa and Alsonso whom didn’t get playing time the previous game.
Hmm, Hazard to Coutinho and ummm Redmond to Siggy? Siggy has to win with Swansea right?
Alonso to Collins and ummm Redmond to Coutinho? Or King to Coutinho?
I think since Hazard played a full game the past week doing him away could work and Redmond has a home game but King versus Leicester might do more so King, so Redmond out. In Siggy and Coutinho, both something to play for.
hey Raz – Swansea have nothing to play for
So any suggestions Dreamers? I am lost. 😉
Raz,
Best of luck this week.
Does Costa/Redmond to Coutinho/Giroud or Llorente work?
At hte start of the week I could do those moves to Coutinho Giroud. Now out of reach. Llorent is possible. But he didn’t start the last game. He must play today though?
I would think he starts.
Sorry, I was thinking about Costa, he should play.
How about ummm King to Coutinho and umm Hazard to Sane?
Raz
Hazard to Fabregas to keep Chelsea cover?
Is this team good to go?
got 1ft with 0.2itb i could take out Davies for Lovren
Do i need Haz, Cesc and Costa?
What the hell? Why take out Davies? You crazy?
Potential CS + assist, Davies is definitely 1 of the undervalued players
Hi Photek,
Yes – it is good to go
No, NO – you should not sell Davies for Lovren
I’m 22 ahead in my ML. I’m doing Haz and Costa to Jesus and Sanchez to cover him. We both have Davies and Ali, I have Kane too.
Considering this, would you gamble Ali to Coutinho for a -4? Obviously this means not coving Ali, could Coutinho explode enough you reckon?
