Fantasy Football FF247 Team Gameweek 35
Lovely DGW! You know sometimes there comes a time to quit a cult, which is just another way of saying that we wish we hadn’t been caught idolizing a Liver bird. Never trust Liverpool, never trust Liverpool, never… you get the drift, this was our Gerrard slip. Lucky to stay inside the top 3K, we dropped to 2882nd place. Now here comes the sign from a higher power that we should not trust the Scousers. We dropped 666 :satansmoking: places! We read the sign loud and clear, sell everything wearing red, Sterling, Moreno, Henderson and Kop. But before we sell everything, let us run a quick review of the GW pain we went through.
As expected (somewhat) Ospina delivered a clean sheet for us. You might find it surprising to hear us say that, but CFC haven’t exactly been going for broke lately. So it wasn’t shocking to see the Colombian come up big and by big we mean almost knocking Oscar back to Brazil. Those Colombians are beautiful people. Our back line was fantastic! Well if you only count big John Terry and ignore the other two. With a goal and a CS he certainly did the business in the double. Might even send him a couple of lonely housewives as a reward. Speaking of DGW defenders, what about Moreno you ask? We need a hug :noshake: How dare you bring that up?! Simply said, sometimes we sack up and take a chance and they get chopped off. Oh well, our last defender Clyne did manage to play, but proved almost as useful as Moreno. PvA came in for the Spanish ghost and garnered us 2 points. Please let us now move to our midfield where I am sure our Double LFC and CFC put on a show.
Our Liverpool duo put on an “amazing” display. Hendo & Sterling combined for 10 points over the 2 games. Frankly we should have known better. Maybe if we had a Liverpool fan helping us decide on what transfers to make we would have not committed this folly 😉 The Scousers scored 0 goals in two games vs West Brom and Hull. We would say that is laughable if it wasn’t so painful. Our other 2 mids didn’t exactly show the Liverpool boys up. Our captain Eden Hazard managed to blank over 2 games and only grabbed 5 points, doubled up to 10. Fabregas, if not for a late assist against the Foxes, would have scored even less than his 3 midfield mates. We will now begrudgingly move onto our forwards, who at least have the excuse of having only played one game.
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie… missed a penalty and got a yellow. Thanks for that buddy. Well at least our other strikers did something positive. Young player of the year Harry Kane got us 5 points and was carried off the field by the English press. Argentinian Sergio Aguero scored at the Etihad and we saw all 3 fans applaud. And please City fans don’t write in to complain, assuming that empty blue chair can read and write.
Transfer(s) for GW35 – Sold everyone with Liverpool under their name
We jest of course. We wanted to, out of pure frustration, but they have a stay of execution. Namely QPR at home. The actual transfer was –
Sold Austin, bought Giroud
This was always the planned transfer and a sensible one we feel with DGW37 looming and of course he has Hull this week and he’s hot. (In form, hot). Let’s just hope he makes a better fist of it than our last lot did!
Our team in full…
Captain
Our captain this week is Eden Hazard
We had votes for Aguero and it could have gone either way really as he’s at Spurs and they can’t defend but the majority came down on Hazard to shine, on what should be ‘title day’ for Chelsea.
Our vice-captain is Sergio Aguero
The team in text format is –
Ospina
Terry Clyne Moreno (boooo)
Henderson (boo) Hazard (c) Sterling (boo) Fabregas
Giroud (beautiful) Kane Aguero
Subs: Myhill, Puncheon van Aanholt Baird
Thanks for reading Fantasy Football FF247 Team Gameweek 35.
Hey guys,
So I don’t have any glaring weaknesses in my team, none that I can see but Im not happy.
My long term plan is to have in Sanchez, Ramsey and Giroud for the DGW or maybe swap Ramsey to Ospina not sure yet.
Have 6.4 in the bank at 1 FT.
Wanted Aguero but he is away to TOT this week so maybe hold off on the transfer and bring it through next week?
Aditionally if I was to STICK who to start Vardy or Kane?
Or start 3 at the back and go 343?
What do you guys think? I want to get rid of a LFC player, Bellerin and Rose. But I don’t want to take hits.
Austin to Giroud. worth a hit?
Hi All, Okay I must have missed a huge price change as I’m 1 mil short for Austin > Giroud now. Ugh.
So, I am thinking just keep the FT for next week and see where everything is in GW 36?
Any help very appreciated.
Have you been asleep for a month wengaboy?! You don’t just ‘miss’ a full mil! Anyway I think you stick now then and see what happens as you say. Austin scoring against Liverpool isn’t exactly out of the question and I think he may well do.
I figured it out, think the difference was in GW 34 you guys had and sold Erikson, I had and sold Matt Philips. Hence the shortfall.
I guess I’ll just sit tight. Cant be dropping -4 at this stage.
Cheers mate!
Well if you’ve been, erm, let’s call it ‘following’ 😉 , the site team but had Phillips that week then you did better than us that week! Much to my chagrin. That we didn’t, that is, not that you did! Think it’s fairly impossible to mirror a team all the way through anyway as some changes are done early on in a week etc.
Good luck this week!
Hey guys!
Need some help on some decisions! Been reeled in by teams below me in the league. Got 0.5 in the bank
Was thinking:
Ramsay for silva or
alderwereld for bellerin
or maybe:
ramsay for silva & take -4 and get Vardy in for Murray . Think he will provide a goal or an assist against a weak newcastle defense. Any help is good help.
As I just said to Mitro I think Silva should stay this week at least. Probably next week too as it’s QPR at home. Vardy is a good shout against the toon so a straight swap for Murray, no hits and bench Rose.
Hey guys,
So what to do what to do what to do
1FT, 0 itb
1) Play Moreno, Murray only sub
2) Sell Murray for Giroud, funding tbd – minus 4
3) Sell Murray for Benteke , funding tbd – minus 4
What ye think?
Hey all! So this is my team for this week and I’m finding it hard to decided who to play. Can anyone help?
I already used my ft for bellerin.
Not surprised it’s hard! Toss up between Jags and Bettrand. %’s say Bertand. I reckon Villa score. Sunderland may too but less likely. I think Sterling has to start really so it’s between Hendo and Cambo to drop. No idea! Hendo loses pens if Gerrard plays, which he will, and probably loses free kicks too. Cambo has free kicks. Probably play him over Hendo.
Thanks! I was thinking the same thing about Bertrand but the hendo information was very helpful.
