Fantasy Football FF247 Team Gameweek 33

After a slip in the standings last week, we were able to straighten up a bit and managed our 4th green arrow in the last 5 gameweeks. Our score of 54 helped us climb 259 spots into 2551 in the overall. It wasn’t a major gain, but we will take it. So before we go into our plans for the dreaded blank-ish GW33, let us run through the week that was.

In Pulis we trust!? Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. After another shocking defensive performance from the Baggies and 7 point keeper Ospina on our bench, there is plenty of disappointment to go around. Luckily though our Saints defenders got a clean sheet. Alderweireld raked in 9 points and Clyne got benched. FFS!! Oh well, at least old favourite PvA came in with the auto sub and gave us a scrappy 3 points. Terry was the last of our 3 man backline and he did not disappoint by grabbing a clean sheet and 2 bonus points.

Our midfield had a poor showing. Hazard, as has become custom, got us something but the rest left a lot to be desired. Silva looked set for a big game in the derby, but quickly decided to morph into Yaya Toure and was rendered useless after the early assist. Cazorla and Eriksen have become twins just about, both have barely been averaging over 3 points in their last six games. You know it is bad when we all wish we had Fellaini and Young over the same time frame.

Up front we kept our same front 3 from the previous week. Once again, has-been Harry Kane fooled us into captaining him. Fool me once shame on me, fool me, well you get the point. At least our mighty Argentinian managed to score a brace to bookend the four goals United scored on his team. In our last spot we had Charlie Austin, should have been Glenn Murray but a certain manager for our site team protested loudly to the buying of the old chap. We can only think of one word to describe this one member of the site team: fool.

Transfer(s) for GW33 – Sold Cazorla, bought Fabregas and saved our other free transfer for next week.

The reasoning here is two fold. Firstly we needed to build up our playing numbers for this week and secondly plan for DGW34. Fabregas has shown a glimpse of a return to his form of the first half of the season by recording a goal and two assists in his last three matches. This weekend’s encounter vs Man Utd promises to be a tight affair but on their day Chelsea are more than capable of turning it on against anyone and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Cesc continue his good run. The Blues then of course have their two fixtures in DGW34 followed by a London derby vs Palace in GW35.
The purchase of Fabregas of course gives us our full compliment of Chelsea players for the DGW so we would envisage us buying some Liverpool players for the double gameweek next week.

Our team in full…

As you can see, the team very much picked itself this week with Ospina, Austin and PVA without a game and Baird….well, probably without a game!

Captain

Our captain this week is Sergio Aguero
A unanimous decision, which made the selection meeting frankly, very dull. But having seen Kun return to scoring form in the derby defeat last week, we decided that a home fixture vs West Ham was too good to ignore.

Our vice-captain is Harry Kane

The team in text format is –

Myhill
Terry, Clyne, Alderweireld
Puncheon, Silva, Hazard, Eriksen, Fabregas
Kane (v), Aguero (c)

Subs: Ospina. Baird, van Aanholt, Austin
