Fantasy Football FF247 Team Gameweek 31

Our slow methodical climb back into the top 1K continues. With our third straight green arrow on the bounce, we managed to move into 1740th place in the overall. This was a jump of 782 spots for us after a score of 91 for the week. Nice little move there, now let’s have a quick review on how it is it came about before we move onto our team for double game-week 31.

In goal once again we went with Ospina, not like we had much of a choice with Foster injured. Frustratingly though Arsenal conceded once again, making that 4 out of the last 6 where they gave up just one goal. In our backline we went with the ever trustworthy Terry. With Chelsea visiting Hull this looked like an easy opportunity for some clean sheet points. Frustratingly though Chelsea conceded once again, hmmmm, that sounds familiar. Oh well you can’t win them all I guess, probably feels similar to how John Terry feels when he strikes out with a mate’s wife. Well enough about them two big club players and their lack of production. Onto our pride and joy in the back, double Saints defenders. We decided to take a bit of a chance with a double up and 17 points later the tandem of Clyne and Alderweireld had delivered for us. With decent fixtures upcoming we hope our Southampton duo continue to show their worth.

In a great scoring week, we obviously needed our mids to score for fun. This week they didn’t disappoint us and all delivered either with an assist or a goal. Silva and Hazard both scored 9 for us, each powered by grabbing a goal. While our two other mids Eriksen and Caz each grabbed an assist, scoring 5 and 6 respectively. No real need to say much more, no need to jinx it.

Up top we have our high priced striker Sergio Aguero. That is three straight games with 2 points for the mighty Argentinian. Not sure how much longer we can continue to pay a premium price for average to bad returns. Fortunately though we have the HurriKane picking up the slack. Not only did he deliver a hat-trick, but it was doubled because he happened to be our captain. There could have been a better value player in the past, but I sure as heck can’t remember it. In the other striker slot we have a poor man’s Kane in Charlie Austin. Austin was able to grab 5 points and while no major haul, that is the same Kun has managed in the last 2 games and a half. Ok enough about the week that was, let us move along to our plans for this game-week.

Transfer(s) for GW31 – Sold Foster bought Myhill
Not the most glamorous of transfers but a sensible one never the less. With few other pressing issues to attend to and the DGW itself not exactly screaming out to be covered any more than we already have, in the shape of Austin, we decided now was a good time to fix an impending goalkeeper issue. Our other keeper is Ospina of Arsenal which would have meant us having to fix this at some point prior to GW33 as we would have had no keeper for that week. Davis of Southampton was an option but we already have two Saints defenders. Given West Brom’s good recent home form and their next two being at the Hawthorns we decided to try and take full advantage of this in the short term at least and so we bought Foster’s replacement Boaz Myhill.

Our team in full…

The team pretty much picked itself this week with little or no debate over any of the line-up.

Captain

Our captain this week is Harry Kane
Whilst the team picked itself the captaincy issue split opinion to say the least! For possibly the first time this season we had no majority pick. The voting was split fairly evenly amongst Kane, Aguero and Austin. Cups of tea were thrown and tears were shed. After one of the longest and most violent debates ever the white smoke emerged and Harry Kane stepped forth.

Our vice-captain is Sergio Aguero
We didn’t even bother debating this, we had nothing left to give.

The team in text format is –

Myhill
Terry Clyne van Aanholt
Silva Hazard Eriksen Cazorla
Kane(c) Aguero(vc) Austin

Subs – Ospina, Puncheon Alderweireld Baird
