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

Hi all, thoughts on the side I have for the weekend?
0FT but will consider a hit if necessary with 0,1m ITB
No cover should injuries etc. occur but think it is probably worth the risk of having no bench to avoid a hit.
Not set on captaincy yet, will probably choose Haz/Aguero/Kane.
Maybe Hazard given the fact that Carrick, Rojo, Jones and Blind are all reportedly out…
Good to go AT, can’t see anyone worth a hit. That Utd news i.e basically no defence will turn a good few heads toward Hazard now I think. Tough call between him and Aguero.
Cheers init! Yes I’ll reassess later today/tomorrow morning in a panic.
Murray or kun for cappo?
Kun for me Mitro
Guys i have wildcard next week, and i want to bring in players that would do good this week in defence
So im going to do – Panti out Howard In
and Wasi out Kelly in – i wanted ward but cant afford it with him and howard
Im not sure if kelly is nailed because of pape souare so i need help guys
Cheers
Yaco it looks like Souare is down for a late fitness test and it was only a dead leg after all. I’d say Kelly is risky based on that. Shame as it’s a nice plan. I guess you could always go very brave and do Speroni and Dann.
Afternoon all,
Following the injury news in Jose’s particularly unhelpful press conference what do you think the best move is:-
1) Bring Fabregas in & tie up all three chelsea spots (along with terry & Hazard)
2) bring in Remy & hope he plays this week & some part of the DGW
3)Play Boyd & leave any chelsea transfers until news on Remy/Costa is more concrete
4) Bring in any midfielder for a 1 week punt which would mean taking an extra hit next week
Cheers
Either 1 or 3 hammers. I wouldn’t bring him in this week for sure anyway and with Costa back training next week who knows what game time they’ll get. I’d probably still be unsure on him next week even if he did 90 tomorrow so maybe 1 is your best bet all round.
Wow, ManU is doomed. so many injuries and suspensions. On a positive note, Mata will start:
LvG “Normally I always put players in the line-up if they’ve played for the opponent, so I think Mata shall play.”
As for United’s injury/suspension list: Jones, Evans, Rojo, Carrick, Blind. Shit, they have no defenders left. Chelsea will eat them up unless Jose does the park the bus thing.
Hi All,
Please rate my team below and advice. Thinking of making the following changes for this GW and the next DGW.
1. Carzola out Fabregas in. 2. Carzola out cambiasso in. 3. Any other option would be considered.
Thanks a lot
Hey gbola- same boat for me. I’m leaning Caz > Mata for 1 week punt since I’m playing WC next week. Mata or Fabs, still thinking….or Fellaini. Anyone else?
Sorry didn’t really answer ur question 😉
Caz> Fabs for you for the DGW.
thot of that, but alos need to bring in sterling or a liverpool midfielder hence im leaning towards cambassio
