Fantasy Football FF247 Team Gameweek 38

Fantasy-football-247--gameweek38Another week and another red arrow. That’s 4 on the bounce and even Newcastle are starting to feel sorry for us. We dropped 396 spots to 5328 in the overall rankings. Not a dramatic drop, but still the trickle slowly down is really p*ssing us off. Well let us have a quick look at the magical 11 that caused our sorrow before we move on to our plans for GW38.

In goal we had the trusty David Ospina. A nice showing by our keeper with a slick double digit haul. A couple of ‘clean sheet saving’ saves versus Sunderland had us sweating it out a bit, but in the end he came through unscathed. Our transfer for Wasadinho in for Alberto Moreno worked out perfectly. As our Fox defending the box delivered a clean sheet for us. Basically we sold a Liverpool defender playing at home for a Leicester defender playing away and it worked out. Heck if that somehow worked surely John Terry against West Brom would be an easy clean sheet. Guess again, as Terry and the CFC boys were there in body, but their spirits were on vacation with Cesc who left early. PvA our man! With two clean sheets and bonus points to boot, he was certainly a great play this GW. Now let’s move on to our on vacation midfield.

Why in the blue Hell do we still have two Liverpool midfielders you ask? Good question!! Hendo delivered the amount of points that his talent warrants, a big 2. As for his soon to be ex-team mate Sterling, he delivered the same lame output. Hard not to blame the buying of Liverpool players as our downfall towards the end of the season. Never trust a Scouser, never trust a Scouser, never…. It was also a dreadful performance from our star mids Haz and Sanchez, probably due to being contaminated from the utter crap that is besides them in our midfield.

Our strikers were not much better. Harry Kane has become utterly useless. Which basically means he is ready to lead the line for Liverpool next season as his strike rate has plummeted to embarrassing levels. Giroud is Giroud, so to expect anything but good looks and a tight butt from him could be asking too much. And even though he did nothing in this DGW, he was acquired to pretty the team up and he certainly scored double digits there. Kun didn’t deliver his bag of points this GW, but we forgive him. After all the goods and great service he has provided for us, it’s hard to stay mad at him. Now let us move along to our plans for the season ending GW38.

Transfer(s) for GW38 – Eden Hazard to David Silva
You just have to love FPL sometimes. We began the week thinking that Sterling would be our transfer out for Silva but ended it by googling things like ‘wisdom teeth out / recovery time’! We went as far as actually consulting our dentist at one stage. Seriously. The prognosis was inconclusive but all things considered – possible stitches / infection / antibiotics etc and we concluded that he may not play. He could surprise us and pop up on the team sheet but all things considered we decided to extract him from our team (sorry!) and bought David Silva. He’s in fine form (8, 16 and 9 from his last 3 games) and he’s at home this week.

Captain

Our captain this week is Sergio Aguero
A very straight forward choice as he’s in form (8 goals in his last 6 games) and he’s at home this week.

Our vice-captain is Olivier Giroud
Logically we’d have gone for Silva but as Uncle Eddy once told us ‘never captain and vice-captain players from the same team just in case it’s called off’. So just in case it manages to snow in May we have chosen Olivier. It is Manchester after all so you never know…

Good luck this week everyone and we hope you nail your mini-leagues.

  1. Good morning all.
    Really need some help.
    I’m 11 points ahead in my mini cash league.
    Have 2FT and £0.0 Bank, would go -4.
    Options:
    1. Hazard, Kane, Giroud –> Puncheon, Costa, Lukaku IN (-4)
    2. Hazard, Kane, Giroud –> Siggy, Benteke, Lukaku IN (-4)
    3. Hazard, Kane, Giroud –> Sissoko, Rooney, Benteke IN (-4)
    4. Hazard, Kane –> Costa, Puncheon
    5. Hazard, Kane, Giroud OUT for who ???
    Please help.
    Thanks a lot.

    • You don’t need a hit, especially with a small lead. Hazard and Kane out for Milner/Gylfi and Benteke is what i would look to do.

      • I was about to say the same about the hit. I’d do Haz and Kane for Puncheon and Benteke.

        • What’s the craic init, you all set for the final round?

        • Yep all done mate. Did it all Friday night in fact. Can’t say what or who though to be fair as I’m protecting a lead and he reads the site! You all done?

        • Understandable, mate. Good luck, hopefully you take it down :thumbup:

          Yeah i’m set. Did Kane to Ulloa and i think i’ll leave it at that. Full concentration on MLS after today, eh? 😉

        • Well I was planning to play my MLS WC this week but I’m about to go on holiday so that may not happen!

        • Nice. Where you off to?

        • Inits going on holiday, thats me round his house tonight. 😮

        • What you think of Rooney and Puncheon?

        • Could work. I think I’d prefer Costa myself.

        • Agreed. Rooney only has two goals in his last ten games.

        • Pressed the button smile Will I do -4 or leave as it is?

      • I just don’t know what to do with Giroud, I have Sanchez and Bellerin too, Giroud is not performing at all the last 7 games.

  2. Good luck everyone for the last GW!!!
    Krul (Pantilimon)
    Skrtel Ivan Kos (Dawson van AAndhlot)
    Hazard Snachez Cambiasso Puncheon (Boyd)
    Kane Giroud Aguero
    0.6m itb and 1FT

    Hazard to Silva?
    Take a hit to upgrade elsewhere?

  3. Am I set? I currently have a 33 point lead and without knowing his transfers for this week we have five players in common. Correct captain and selection?

    • Looks good to me. I wouldn’t expect much from Mane but you should be fine with a 33 point lead at this stage.

  4. Made the decision to go conservative and keep Kane.

    • Already regret it. HAHAHA! Can’t go back now. Have nothing left in the bank. :p

      • My team, against everybody’s advice. Fingers crossed. Not hits but also no playing goalie and 3 dangerous Gooners that might not play. Sighs.

        • ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????? AM I DOOMED?

        • Possibly! :hippo:

        • You’re always so helpful. Wow. :rant:

        • Actually Raz as you have no playing keeper I’d take a hit for one as it would only be a -2.Schmeical maybe ? Or Given ?

        • -4 for a no playing goalie? If he does what moest goalies do he’ll get 2 points, maybe 3. He has to keep a CS and if he does I win 2 points, just 2 points. He can that be worth it?

  5. Hey guys, held off on transfers hoping we might get some more info today. Are we pretty certain Young will start for United? I was thinking of keeping and starting Hazard on the off chance he plays as I have Ki Sung-Yueng who is definitely out. Does transferring Ki out for Young make sense? Or would you just bin Hazard for Mata/Fellaini (I’d like a United midfielder I think). Any help would be massively appreciated!

    Schmeichel Mannone
    Terry Skrtel Trippier Wasilewski PvA
    Silva Hazard Sanchez Ramsey Ki
    Aguero Kane Giroud

    1 FT and .! ITB

    • Young will start, yes. If you want a United mid then Mata is the shout, for me.

      • I could’ve done Mata and Bentekers but I went with f-ing YAYA instead. OWW FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rant:

        No hit though. *cries* I’m so stupid. AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

      • Thanks NIN, I really, really appreciate it. Got up at 5:15AM (my time) to figure this shit out, lol. If I get Young I’d probably set-up like this, anything you’d change? Would you rather bin Hazard for Mata? Worried I won’t be able to field 11 if I sell Hazard as Ki is definitely out and I have 3 Arsenal players as well.

        Schmeichel (Mannone)
        Terry Skrtel Trippier
        Young Hazard Sanchez Ramsey Silva (VC)
        Aguero (C) Giroud

        Subs: Kane, Wasilewski, PvA

        • Haha, that’s dedication! Right, i see your predicament. Your three subs should play so they can cover the Arsenal contingent. I would go for Mata and hope for the best. If Kane and Wasi come in then it’s not the worst situation, but hopefully van Aanholt stays where he is!

        • Actually, would you not play Wasi ahead of Trippier?

        • Haha, cheers my friend. Thanks for the last minute advice! Hope you have a great final day, best of luck! smile

        • I was worried it was risky to double up on Leicester defense. Do you like Schmeichel and Wasilewski starting?

        • I do. Burnley (h) should bring the points. Good luck to you too mate.

        • Ummm they face QPR ”NiN”. Are you deliberately messing with peoples heads? AUSTIN POWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I TELL YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LEROY FERRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Killers of all CS hopes.

        • Woops! QPR indeed :thumbup:

  6. Play Giroud or -4 to lukaku?

    • Sighs. I wouldn’t do it but I know many will. GEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. I messed up.

      • I duno what to do raz. Hearing a lot of things Giroud be rested for fa cup

        • Same here, I messed up. I should’ve just done my transfers early this week. Was planning Bolasie and Costa. Now just Yaya. I’m doomed. Sighs. FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rant:
