Fantasy Football FF247 Team Gameweek 34
Another small climb in the overall has put us a bit closer to being inside the top 2k. After climbing another 335 spots we now sit in 2216. A spot that we are very happy with, but we have dreams of a higher finish. So this is no time to unbutton our pants and play around. There is no room for complacency in the final stretch and with doubles on the horizon we hope we can take full advantage. But as always, before we tell you of our plans for the upcoming gameweek, let us quickly review our performance in GW33.
Finally Pulis, finally! Myhill in goal came through for us with a very solid 8 points. Our faith is now restored, well sort of, once you check the Baggies schedule over the last 5 games one might feel it is time to cut and run. Moving along to our back line we see that fan favourite John Terry was able to secure his second clean sheet in a row. What a great guy he is. In the rest of our defence we decided to play our double Saints defenders. We hoped that they work in unison and bagged us badly needed points. Well we can’t accuse them of not working in unison. They both scored 0 points after giving up 2 goals and both receiving yellow. Nice work boys!
In our 5 man midfield we had a bit of hit and miss. Hazard once again delivered a big haul and bagged us 11 points. Owning and playing him is just common sense and to show that is something we won’t put up with, we also played Jason Puncheon. We thought he would at least deliver a number 2, but I guess he has better control now and simply took the piss. Our new signing Cesc brought the pain and by pain, I mean to us. Nothing of note from him with a very average 3 points. Yet that was still better than Silva who was unable to score a cheeky total and instead was handed a yellow and a trip to the doctor. In our last spot, we had Eriksen. After showing the Viking a lot of patience over the last couple of weeks, he came through with a goal and 2 bonus points for a nice score of 9.
Up top we only fielded 2 strikers as we had to make room for the Jason Puncheon show as previously mentioned. Perhaps it was because Austin had a blank, but why ruin a good story. We went with English saviour Harry Kane and of course our mighty mouse Kun Aguero. Ol’ Arry was able to grab a goal and continues to build up the hopes of English fans who will undoubtedly be left in state of shock when England play like their cricket team in Euro 2016. Our “El Capitan” Aguero was able to do a little something and scored 12 points when doubled. Perhaps not the amount we hoped for, but better than Jason Puncheon.
Transfer(s) for GW34 – Sold Alderweireld, Silva and Eriken and bought Moreno, Henderson and Sterling
As suggested last week we have gone full on Scouse for the DGW and have taken a hit to do so. It was an “interesting” meeting as we thought it may be. Selling Silva is clearly the most controversial move, but was necessary to facilitate our future plans post DGW into getting the Arsenal players we have targeted. This also meant we had to get Henderson instead of the more preferred Coutinho, but c’est la vie, Hendo has done ok this season for someone who can’t run. Sterling was a no-brainer for us as we figure he should get forward plenty in the DGW and also vs QPR in GW35. Moreno comes in as Liverpool have looked solid at the back versus the “lesser” teams – in the league that is, not the FA Cup.
Our team in full…
Once more our team has basically picked itself! The question was asked as to whether we should play Myhill as Liverpool haven’t been in great form, but having brought Sterling & Henderson in this week we’re hoping that they’ll knock a few past Myhill. They’d bloody better! So Ospina it is. We also considered benching Clyne, but given Southampton’s defensive form at home we decided against it. The only other question was Puncheon or Kane. Even though Spurs travel to Southampton we’ve gone with Kane as we’ve learned over the course of the season, never bench Kane. So we’ll have our fingers crossed for either a Saints clean sheet or a Kane goal.
Captain
Our captain this week is Eden Hazard
Little explanation needed really. There were the odd votes for Sterling but we’ve gone ‘safe’ as Chelsea look to close out the inevitable title and if they do so you can bet Hazard will be involved.
Our vice-captain is Raheem Sterling
The team in text format is –
Ospina
Terry Clyne Moreno
Henderson Hazard (c) Sterling (v) Fabregas
Austin Kane Aguero
Subs: Myhill Puncheon van Aanholt Baird

Evening everyone – the FF247 team has been selected, transfers made and we can reveal all……
Nice team, team!
Set for good points there. In theory
Hi everyone.
How does this look for the DGW?
Ivanovic for Hutton
Sterling for Eriksen
Coutinho for Mata
Vardy for Remy
Thanks guys.
GP, what if Remy is Chelsea’s only fit striker?
Cookie
How you doing old pal?
Yep, that is the factored. It would be Remy stays and Ivanovic becomes a Liverpool defender and no Vardy.
No money worries on this one.
Good thanks GP, just about to sign off and go home. How you doing mate?
Having thought about it, I don’t know why I even said what I did as you can almost predict what Jose will say tomorrow lunchtime…here he goes…”Diego has trained this week, he has a chance, we’ll see. Remy has more of a chance and is ok. Didier has a problem, we’ll see if he can train this afternoon”.
So…your original plan is probably the safer one !!!
Cookie,
I thought I worked long days!
I know and unless he comes out with Costa’s head on a stick I still won’t trust him. I have two ways to go on this one. Although I do like the fact I can put my hat on Iva and Terry playing both.
. . . . . hat = shirt
or
“hang my hat” on it.
You geddit.
Obviously was a long enough day for me then
Hat or shirt is irrelevant GP cos Init wants to have your pants down and whip your ass!!
Cookie,
He can dream . . . . :noshake:
:oogle: Cookie I don’t know what you told the good wife that the ice bucket challenge entailed but when I did it I definitely had my pants on!
nice team guys. all the best. (y)
Toby or Dawson to Moreno?
Shanec
I like Toby’s future prospects better than Dawson’s so I’d transfer out Dawson mate.
Agree with GP
Cheers lads. Hope Toby is fit
Just one more transfer for a bit –
Moreno for Jones OR
Sterling for Silva?
Go wild, go both!
Punk
I’m sure Silva will play and if so potentially play very well. If it was one move and without seeing the rest of your side, I’d do the first one. Maybe.
@dmc @thegallant thank you and cheers … I’d probably do the defensive option. Good luck with your teams
