Fantasy Football FF247 Team Game-week 29
Well that went well….NOT! A total score of 28 points in GW28 may seem to some as irony, but to us at FF247 it has completely summed up our season. Rubbish. We couldn’t even beat an average of 35 and thus dropped 86k places to an overall rank of 906,635. Nothing has gone right and frankly none of us will be sad to wave this season farewell. Or piss off.
GW28 in summary – this summary won’t take long, it’s painful to write and painful to read, unless you like a touch of self harm. The highlight of our score was two assists. Yep, that’s it – two assists. No goals scored, no clean sheets kept. The assisters were Payet and Mahrez. Everything else was clearly a complete disaster. Hennessey in goal conceded two at Sunderland, while our defenders Van Dijk, Bellerin and Morgan also conceded two a piece against opponents that they should easily have kept quiet. Ozil did nothing vs Swansea and Ali didn’t even start at West Ham, but did manage 30mins and a single point for us. Our forward line of Kun, Vardy and Kane scored two points each. We benched Wollscheid who naturally kept a clean sheet and then rubbed it in our faces as he proceeded to collect the three bonus points. Brilliant. Let’s move on to what will undoubtedly be another unmitigated disater!
Transfer decision for GW29 – we have sold Hector Bellerin and bought Vincent Kompany
Home to Villa – now what could go wrong?!! Bellerin has gone for now, due to Arsenal likely blanking next week as well as injuries to Cech and Koscielny which certainly makes the Gooner defence as less attractive prospect than it was. We would also expect Spurs to score in this week’s North London derby and with City facing Villa and then Norwich next week we feel we have a chance of an immediate return on our investment on the City skipper. We’ve chosen not to concentrate on the fact they got hammered at Liverpool in midweek. Decent fixtures, no blank next week and a double game-week on the horizon sealed it.

The team in full

Captain – Sergio Aguero
One of the easier discussions we have had – with Kun home to an awful Villa side, he is by far and away the leading candidate for the armband this week. And even if the unthinkable happens and he blanks we at least won’t lose much ground as the world and his wife and maybe even his dog will be with us.
Our vice-captain is Harry Kane
If Kun doesn’t feature then Kane will step up – he has a decent record vs Arsenal and Spurs will be all out to cause more damage to the Gooner title hopes as well as bolstere their own chances.

Good morning! Hoping to bounce back from a mighty 29 points with AOA played last gw! Any advice please on transfers?
Got 2ft, thinking of:
Ward to Otamendi / Williams
And/or
Payet to Silva / Yaya / Siggy
29 points with AOA that must be a record
get siggy, but for who idk?. Probably Payet
and hennessey sucks why do people have him? Foster?
Hen’s cheap, and I’m happy playing Schmeichel each week. Yeah gw 28 was a horror show!
Ward to Williams or Kompany.
Save the other transfer unless you really want Siggy.
Cheers, I do a bit, although think Payet could do okay against Everton?
Me too and certainly hope so. I wouldn’t sell Ozil and Arnie plays next week so Payet is your only real option…..
My team for wkend! , is my subs correct?
Charl, I’d be tempted to play Simpson instead of Alder.
Thanks Cookie, i was thinkng the same thing
Personally I would play Simpson over Alder
Shaqiri over Ali
Target might not start so leave Ali first on your bench
fck im dumb this early in the morning, Ignore my Ali comment, but A
Is anyone tempted to triple captain Aguero this week? Looking at the potential double game weeks in 34 and 37, City have Chelsea (a) and Arsenal (h) in those two weeks. So it could be tempting to play it this week at home to Villa. City lost the last two at home so will want to put in a good performance. Someone talk me out of it?
Robin, I certainly wouldn’t talk you out of it, it could work a treat. The prob is City’s form and lack of creativity since KDB got injured.
Let’s be honest, all of us who didn’t play it when Kun scored five are hoping he or someone score similar over a DGW.
Only time will tell if this week is a good Triple Captain week, if this is your gut feeling go for it and good luck!
Sounds like a plan to me, I have the feeling that everyone is saving these for DGW’s but in reality if he got a hatti this week, it would almost certainly net a greater score then a DGW. And this is the kind of game where he can def get a hatti
And besides, depending what chips you have left. You can only play one each week, so might not be able to use them all anyway, depending on how many DGW’s there are.
Have the TC and Bench Boost chips plus wildcard left. I was planning to play one chip on each DGW and load up on DGW players with the wildcard beforehand. I guess the TC does not need to be used on Aguero and there could be other players with better fixtures in the DGW’s but I just think that the TC is better used on someone explosive. Aguero is the number 1 explosive candidate so with this weeks fixture I am very tempted!
go with your gut mate, I feel he will score high today
Rbin – I’m well tempted
the risk I guess is he blanks whereas in a DGW, he has 2 chances to not blank. Then again, City needing a win, at home, to Villa, cant see how he blanks.
Well, I’ve activated it. If he blanks for the third game in a row, at home to Villa who are terrible then I may aswell pack up and go home.
You can cancel it mate if you change your mind before the deadline.
Yep, but thinking I’ll just go for it. Stop giving me reasons to back out!
morning guys. Have 1ft left having already done Bellerin to Kompany.
I have Sanchez (and Ozil but keeping Ozil). My other mids are Payet and Mahrez.
I could go Siggy, Winj (seen Cookie went this way which is interesting as if Newcastle get out of it then he will be involved and fixtures good), Toure, Silva, Alli or Eriksen. Any recommendations?
Maybe roll that FT over and assess what happens this week? Ie if Silva hits form then it may make sense to bring him in for one of your mids who blank next week. As you will have at least 3 if Arsenal win that replay. Sanchez to either Yaya or Silva stands out to me if you do want to use it this week.
thanks Robin – 2 Arsenal just feels too much today
Leave my Wiji alone
All your above suggestions deserve consideration Dreamers.
Silva and Yaya obviously have the fixtures (but not form)this week and next.
Siggy has a nice run.
Alli and The Viking have Villa next week.
im reluctant to advise you to sell Alexis now as we all know what he is capable of. But, is 2 Gooner mids too much today? Probably.
Out of the above, Siggy is prob safest but least explosive.
Silva, Yaya and Wiji are formless punts, which you can convert to Cockney rhyming slang if you desire
if I went Wijn , then we would have someone to blame if he does sfa
Dreamers, I only have myself to blame – I don’t need you blaming me as well
Cookie – I brought in Wijn for Alli earlier in the season. Wijn did a series of 1 or 2’s and Alli went on fire 😉
who are you planning on taking out?
Duthers – would be losing Sanchez
Current team attached, still got my FT. Thinking Cresswell out for Kompany, what do you reckon?
Or would you go Kosc? I suppose he’s likely to have a blank in 30 aswell but decent fixtures after that.
Thanks.
Shadow, Cresswell to Kompany (just in case Arsenal lose the replay!!)
Maybe lose Cresswell. After the blank, West Ham have Chelsea, Arsenal and Leicester in the next 4 game weeks. So a tough run for them.
Glad you both agree, makes it easier!
Now just gotta hope City get their shit together..
Am i set for this gw??Still have 1ft and 4.2m itb.My team
DDG(Hennessey)
Daniels Kompany Van dijk (Dier Ward)
Payet Ozil Mahrez Arnautovic (stanislas)
Aguero Kane Vardy
One, looks good for this week mate
