Fantasy Football FF247 Team Game-week 31
We hoped for a late surge to waht has been a disappointing season up to a couple of weeks ago and it looks like we’re on the right tracks. We smaches the average again this week as we scored 78pts vs an average of just 35pts – our score gave us a weekly ranking of 16,450 and lifted us 250k places in the overall ranking from 714,651 to a season’s best 463,763. Wonders will never cease.
Our week, like many other teams was made by the choice of Kane as captain instead of Aguero who blanked at Norwich in the opening game of the week. Sadly Kane missed a few chances to add to his tally, but maybe we are being a tad greedy here. The scoring outside of Kane was solid all throughout the team – Lloris kept a clean sheet at Villa, while Kompany add maximum bonus points to his cs and Morgan collected another shut out on Monday vs Newcastle. The purchase of Siggy paid immediate dividends with a nine point haul at Bournemouth while Alli returned two assists for Kane. Vardy’s assist on Monday was a nice little bonus, though his form is a concern.
With all but one of the rearranged fixtures now announced and with a Wildcard, Bench Boost, Triple Captain and All Out Attack chips still in our pocket we envisage a further rise up the rankings in the last few weeks of the season.
Transfer decision for GW31 – Sold Kompany, Bought Williams
At this stage we should point out that we have already made the decision to play our wildcard in GW33 and therefore our transfers for this week and next will be focused on the short term. Why are we playing our wildcard in GW33? Without going into a huge amount of detail we simply feel that we can get the most out of it by playing it ahead of DGW34. At present we have four players whose teams feature in DGW34 and two of those are Kompany and Wayne Hennessy, so without taking a significant amount of hits we will struggle to field enough doublers. Therefore it was a relatively easy decision to activate our wildcard in GW33.
Back to this week’s transfer. With the Belgian gaffer suggesting Kompany is set to miss 4-6 weeks due to a another calf injury the decision as to who to sell this week had been made for us. The decision as to who to replace him with was also quite easy. Williams was suggested, Williams was agreed upon and therefore Williams has been chosen. With a game against Villa this weekend there is every opportunity for Williams to pick up a clean sheet which typically leads to a few bonus points and with a game against Stoke next week we feel that back to back clean sheets are not out of the question!

Captain – Harry Kane
He didn’t let us down last week and we’re banking on him doing the business yet again this week. He’s made a habit of picking up his points in clusters this season and with three goals in his last two games we’re hoping that this cluster lasts for a minimum of three games. Bournemouth have been in great form of late but they have still conceded 10 in their last eight games.
Our vice-captain is Gylfi Siggursdon
Should Kane fail to take to the pitch on Sunday afternoon we’re safe in the knowledge that Siggy can step up to the plate having put Villa to the sword on Saturday afternoon!

Good to go? No more AOA to play
Neo, good luck mate – i’d play Vardy over Silva but your call.
Tough decision this week.
Would you bench Alli or someone else?!
Thanks – and good luck sll!!
J.
Any opinions?
You got yourself in this mess!! Whoever you bench could easily score double digits so your call mate.
Ha! Was hoping for a strategic injury to a hugely popular payer!
Tough though Alli is unreliable but…
James i would personally bench firmino and play Ali. Up to you pal good luck
Last minute advice please. Thinking of playing AOA to get Firmino in. Still have all my chips and WC. Thoughts? I have one FT, should I take out Hart for another keeper for a few weeks especially now Kompany is out? Appreciate any opinions.
Captain, play AOA and keep Hart
Bloody missed the deadline! Kept Hart but have Firmino on the bench, hopefully he blanks ha
Morning all, 2 quickies here:-
Who to play out of Bellerin or Daniels ?
Who to bench out of Siggy, Payet, Ozil, Alli and Mahrez ?
Morning Elle, good luck mate.
Thanks for your thoughts Cookster.
Elle no-one can possibly advise who to bench when any of them could score great!
Honestly i don’t know. Mahrez probably. Maybe.
Granted Cooks, its a horrible dilemma. :shake:
Had exactly the same dilemma Elle. Think I am going Ozil and Bell on the bench… Prob overthought it tho
Morning Floyd, i’ve got Daniels and Alli on the bench.
