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

Evening all! The FF247 team has been selected!
Evening all, solid team there FF247, i don’t think you can trust in Pulis this week either, Palace are flying to be fair. The site team member that voted against Murray, i’ve used a few choice words to describe him aswell. :big-lol:
:finger:
Not you my dear friend. :p
Impressive ranking team FF247, well done. Fingers crossed for more green arrows.
Morning lads and lasses, I’d say another jump up the rankings with that team. Is everyone set for the weekend?
Team for GW33. Good to go?
Looks set to me. Good luck with Cap’n Murray!
I’ll probably chicken out at 11.29 and go with kun!
Nice mitro. Who was your trade this week?
Hendo & giroud out
Bolasie & Murray in
What do you reckon mate?
Hendos got a dgw next week, wouldn’t it be wise to just bench him ?
Plus 1. Unless you have your wc?
Wanted to field 11 players for this week! My opponents in my main mini league currently have 6,8 & 8 players for this week! At the moment none have done any transfers
Get rid of Sanchez for Fabregas. 😮
Fab is on my radar for next week mate, along with sterling and potentially Sturridge if he’s fit!
Well you may aswell do, Giroud + Sanchez out, Murray + Fab in, bench Hendo.
I have already done my moves mate!
Mitro, did you take Hendo out ? To me thats daft with him having a double next week. :shake:
Like I said I wanted 11 players! Plus he’s not that good anyway
Yeah, but you have got that Sanchez sitting on your bench, who has got no game then will get nothing from Chelski, so hes 2 gameweeks dead. :p
Pointless having him.
They are coming to our place!! Think he will have a great game against them! Plus I have had Sanchez pretty much from the start. I would lose a lot of money on him which I need over the coming weeks mate!
Well done gents. More green arrows for you I’m sure! Question: if you were playing your WC prior to GW34, would you have gone Mata over Fabs this week, already having Haz?
Col, do you mean you are playing your wc in 34 and want a one week punt or you are playing wc this week??
