99 problems but Jackson ain’t one

Welcome to FF247 Site Team DGW37

Despite coming in 28pts above the average with a 99, there was no flake in our cone as we slumped to yet another red arrow. It could have been worse.

We backed the right captain, we had solid returns from our front 7, hell we even had our Arsenal defender doing what they do with 7pts from Gabriel. But to no avail.

Sunday was looking grim. Our decision to bench Jackson to the tune of 16pts was looking to take a devastating toll, kicking us out of the top 10k for the first time in 26 game weeks. Come Monday and the no-show from Bruno Fernandes, like many managers (including my own team) we benefitted from those 16pts subbing in. Nice. Sadly our sub in (for the injured Maguire) was Van de Ven, the Spurs centre-back with a -1 that dropped us just shy of the ton.

Our red arrow takes us from 6,493 to 7,330. As I said, it could have been worse.

We have £0.9m in the bank and 2 free transfer to use ahead of DGW37. Let’s go see what was decided….

Our DGW37 Transfer(s)

As planned we head into DGW37 with 2 transfers and it looks like we’ll need them. Injuries to Schar and Maguire mean there’ll be no Hail Mary plays or perfecting our 15 for the planned bench boost. It is what it is. We’ll be pressing ahead with our plan to play our final chip, so we need to replace the aforementioned duo with thoughts of ‘why didn’t we just go with Dalot and Burn ringing in our ears.

As ever, we put it to the Vote with a selection of defenders from Newcastle, Man UTD and Brighton. We threw in the Arsenal lads (for obvious reasons) and Branthwaite because despite having a single game week, the Toffees and their solid-looking defence face a Sheffield UTD side already condemned to the Championship. Furthermore, the Blades have collected just 6pts on their travels and the 16 goals they’ve scored away from Bramall Lane is the lowest tally in the league. You can see where this is going.

So, a clean sweep of votes means we flip Schar to teammate Burn, and Branthwaite comes in for Slab head. We still have a yellow flag on Bruno Fernandes, but news that he has trained means we’ll avoid taking an unwanted hit. Phew.

It’s been a good season for us, perhaps we could have pushed on with a few risky moves but that ain’t our style. We hope we’ve helped some of you with your own decision-making process along the way. I’ll be back to do a wrap-up article once the season is over. In the meantime, enjoy the final week and as ever, may your arrows be green.

To confirm then we have SOLD Schar and Maguire and BOUGHT Burn and Branthwaite and activated our Bench Boost Chip

Back by popular demand! Well, sort of… Drafthound have changed their line-up approach this season and what it means for us is that we are no longer able to display a live feed of it on here due to some technical difficulties. That said, what they have done looks great and is still only a click away so if you want to access those they are HERE

Both leagues will be shut to new entrants as of 01/01/24.
