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

Man, get Aguero onto the field!!
Dude, didn’t you already post this team on the other page. You got freaking replies 2. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! :rant:
Lmao was an accident!
That’s what my parents keep telling me. >.<
Thanks to all who’ve commented and aided my endless WC-related mutterings this week, I appreciate it! Have almost finalised. Current team is below. Thinking two last transfers before deadline.
1) Alderweireld in for Bertrand. He’ll be on the bench anyway this week, but I keep Saints cover. Up to 5.5m in the bank.
2) Murray in for Kane (up to 6.0 in the bank). Kane is off the boil and I want Palace attack vs Hull. Murray will be first to go next week though…
Then, for GW35, get Giroud in for Murray (leaving 2.5m in the bank). For GW26, get two from Oezil/Ramsey/Cazorla in for Sterling and Hendo. 4pt hit, and job’s a good’un. Thoughts?
Watch Toby, he might not play this GW. Think he got a dislocated shoulder? Or smt? FFS, I forgot. ANyway, he could be out for multiple weeks. LISTEN TO SOTON PRESSER FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Koeman said he was ok yesterday.
Owwwwwwwww shit, for real? Sorry. Take away all my doubts about Toby then. 😉
BTW Init, noticed you made 2 transfers? Also noticed only Migs went up last night, and Silva dropped 1. WHich transfers have you made? FPLstat and FFF have been off lately. FPLstat are lying about their accuracy rate though, I think.
I’m not sure now Raz actually! …
@BenDinnery: Ronald Koeman confirms Alderweireld [shoulder] will be fit for Saturday “If there is no reaction” #SaintsFC
@BenDinnery: @DVDReeck Expected to be at least a few weeks …. fractured bone #Alderweireld
Take your pick
I did Sterling and Coutinho for Erik and Silva to swerve the rises and falls. I’m far from finished yet though!
Both those tweets were yesterday by the way!
See? That was the one I read, that he’d be out for a few weeks. Ben is one odd mofo! >.<
Haha, thanks Raz. I only brought him in because Koeman has cleared him. What do you think of the Arsenal plan? Are you keeping Kane?
PIPPIN – you are the expert and in the top 6000 world tell us your thoughts?
musunga. I think Kane is on the wane, and while Murray is too a one week punt vs leaky Hull seems worthwhile. My main concern here is have enough in the kitty for triple Arsenal attack in their DGW. I think my current plans enable that
Hello guys
Kane or silva to start this GW?
And you call yourself doc? Oi, show us your FPL-degree, now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For me Silva, I’m playing both though. :dance:
Got to start Silva really I guess Doc. At home as opposed to away at Saints.
Silva for me
What should I do? 1FT and WC active if needed
The transfers page
Hi Fish, just depends if you want to chase this DGW or wait and set up for the remainder of the season and the next one. You could easily go into this one with 6 DGW’ers without using it or even 7 for a hit.
Afternoon all,
Made my changes, just not sure about the formation…. any suggestions?
How does my team look? 1.1 in the bank and wildcard active. I’ve got all sunderland/arsenal players on my bench for their DGW. Any changes required?
Any suggestions appreciated.
That team is looking excellent don’t see a thing wrong with it mate.
Which other Arsenal player do you plan on bringing in ?? I wouldn’t bother with double sunderland defence and Monreal is a rotation risk.How about Ospina for Pantilimon and a saints defender for Monreal ??
Thanks for the reply.I’ll try to get giroud for vardy before the DGW. I can only get alderwerield out of the 4 saints defender but is he fit?
He will be by the time you need him 😉
