Fantasy Football FF247 Team Gameweek 37
Falling faster than a girl’s panties at the sight of Giroud, we continued our downward trend. Although the drop wasn’t major, it still hurts. 309 spots was the fall this time and it landed us in 4932th place. One would think that when your captain scores 46 points, dropping in the standings shouldn’t be a concern, but low and behold we managed it. Well let us get on with it with a quick review of the team in GW36 before we discuss our transfer plans.
Damn you goal line technology! Ospina and us were denied a clean sheet when a dumb little watch told the referee the ball went in. Sometimes progress is not good. Moving on we see McShane our new recruit decided to partake only 56 minutes in his game, wonderful. Luckily the rest of our defence was a bit more responsible. Terry was unable to get a clean sheet, but he scored a goal and a bonus point, so all good. Speaking of good, PvA grabbed us a nice 7 points. We just sent Lukaku a thank you for that Sunderland clean sheet, couldn’t have done it without his finishing or lack thereof.
Our midfielders Hazard, Sterling and Sanchez all scored 2 points. Looks like Hazard is on vacation now. Maybe. Sterling is still believed to be in Jamaica and Sanchez at least tries, but this week just wasn’t to be. Aha, but there was one superhero. Well maybe not super, but better than the others, at least for this week. Jason Puncheon only played 45 minutes, but who needs more than a half when you are special? Not Jason Puncheon, as a half was all he needed to get us a big 6 points or as he wants us to call it, what the other 3 did combined. Let us move along to our forwards and the man of the hour.
Agueroooo…ah it never gets old. Looking at some old YouTube videos and seeing that face of befuddlement on Fergie’s face as the news rolled in from the Ethiad was priceless. A bit like our own Richie (lesser seen, site IT ‘guru’ / AKA Floydeth) when he captained Alexis over Kun this week, bless him (we all laughed) (lots). Our other two forwards got us 2 big points a piece. Thank you fellas for that. Kane has become a has-been and Giroud, well he can still look at a mirror and know everything is going to be alright. Well enough of what happened already, let us move on to our team for DGW37.

Transfer(s) for GW37 – Sold Moreno and bought Wasilewski
This week’s team meeting dragged on a little, it started on Tuesday and it’s only just finished although we should mention that we took Wednesday & Thursday off! After all that we have made what can only be described as our most exciting transfer of the season in selling Alberto Moreno and replacing him with Marcin Wasilewski. We bought Moreno ahead of DGW34 and the useless (insert expletive here) hasn’t been seen since, thanks for nothing Alberto.
As we’ve already admitted it’s not a very exciting transfer but with Baird & Moreno not featuring for their respective sides we felt we should try and shore up our defence and perhaps try and actually field 3 of them! The transfer has one eye on next week as it frees up some cash to potentially bring David Silva in for another waste of space from Liverpool, Raheem Sterling. Of course Wasilewski does more than just free up cash. Leicester have picked up three clean sheets from their last four games and with their final two games against Sunderland & QPR we feel there’s a good chance that Marcin will contribute some points to the cause.

Captain
Our captain this week is Alexis Sanchez
Given Arsenal’s DGW there were really only two options for us this week in Sanchez & Giroud. It was a unanimous decision to hand the Chilean the armband, don’t let us down Alexis!
Our vice-captain is Olivier Giroud
Not that is should matter!
Good luck this week everyone!

The FF247 site team is live! Boring transfer we know but a necessary one we felt. Was over Morgan for funds purposes for next weeks potential transfer.
Hey guys anything need changing this week?
Only 1 Arsenal player?
If you sold Clyne & Eriksen could you afford Bellerin and an Arsenal mid?
Two arsenal mids not sure however I do have 9.2 so which mid?
They’ve got a DGW, what’s not to be sure about?
I’d look at Ozil or Ramsey.
Hello kop you well? Does Caz not tickle your fancy over ozil and (a not fit) Ramsey?
Not massively mate, not sure why though
NZ – Alex. Screw all that mate. Happy Birthday pal!
Birthday? Happy Birthday mate
Kop, Init, thanks boys! 36 and counting! Off to play football later in the inbred spot of NZ, get the banjos out!
Hi Alex, Happy birthday mate. How does 36 feel? I reach that fine milestone myself in August.
Good luck for this week mate.
Morning all, birthday greetings NZ , i reached 36 myself in October. October 1996. :big-lol:
Alex
Many happy returns fella.
You’re ancient 😉
Alex, happy birthday young man!
I have got Ramsey,Cazorla and Sanchez lol
So, who’s everyone captaining? I really have no idea who to captain, gotta be out of aguero cazorla or girioud though
I’m going with Sanchez
Has anyone good any infor on Ramsey. I signed him early and now he might not make it. I’m hoping he comes through 180minutes
Memzie, it’s all written up in TeamTalk mate. He should be ok to play Sunday after he trained on Friday. There was no mention of Wednesday’s game.
Ever get the impression that nobody actually read it this week
Read what?
Yes
Should I start Morgan or Sigurdsson? Have to play one of them as I brought Gomez in before his injury news.
Kopite
I’d fancy Siggy mate.
Good luck!
Play Siggy mate
I have a shocking defence of Zouma, alder, wolf, yun and Moreno. Do I just hope for the best or take a hit and replace one? Already have 3 arsenal players
Smash, Zouma won’t play again this season so sell him for PVA.
