Fantasy Football FF247 Team Gameweek 38
Another 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.

Our team in full…

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.

If you played your we, would you have Walcott in your team or a arsenal def????
(Which is more essential?)
Arsenal def for me. It is a Tony Pulis side they’re playing against, and Walcott is risky.
So would you take bolasie and ospina over Walcott and schimichel ?
Morning everyone! Last day of the season!
So I still have 2 FTs this week, one of them will definitely be selling Hazard, maybe for Mane, and undecided on the other one. Thinking selling PvA for Ivanovic?
Morning all! Morning Veer
I would go with Mata/Bolasie/Puncheon or Walcott before Mane. Ivan sounds a good shout though if you went with a Palace mf
Hello guys! 15 points ahead of my rival so this gw is crucial. I am thinking of doing Fabregas to Puncheon. Any suggestions? 1FT 0M in the bank
Sounds a good move to me. You could consider upgrading Wickham then if you felt risky for a hit!
Suggestions on transfers.
In the final of my major league.
Fabregas out, Hazard unsure with and wanting to get Aguero.
Help appreciated
You’ll need a few changes to get Aguero. If I’ve worked it out corectly then selling Hazard for the cheapest mid available doesn’t raise enough. Toure is an option, but that’s a hit too. Hmm..i’m confused
I could do.
Fabregas – Boyd
Giroud – Agyero
Who would cappo if your chasing
Walcott
Kun
Silva
Tekkers
Lukaku
Silva
Depends on how the teams match up. I assume you’ve got a bunch of different players to your rival so maybe go with Aguero as capo and hope the others make up the gap. My (vc) is Benteke so if it’s not going to be Aguero for you then i would suggest the big Belgian.
He has tekkers Kun and I think he has brought in silva for hazard
Mitro, +1 on NIN
Morning Nin! How are you doing mate?
Tekkers it is
wish me luck as this is going to be a looooong afternoon
Morning B-Bash. I’m good thanks, how have you been? It feels good to have no more decisions to make this season!
Yeah, now it’s almost over you can’t give anymore bad advice either. NIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rant:
:finger:
NIN it certainly does mate. I’ve been good. Dont get on here as much as I’d like. Raz has a different Monkey face everytime I come here! And Raz, if you’re fecked with Yaya, we both are!
Tnx B-Bash, you always know how to cheer me up.
Same here B-Bash, been up to my eyes with work recently so not been on here as much as usual. Raz has a different monkey face every time HE comes here
Good luck today mate. Three successive seasons in the top 10k is an outstanding achievement. Very, very well done :thumbup:
Pffft, make that 5k 😉
Anybody keeping Hazard?
Tempted. Any late news on him?
Tempted too. I have Ki who is definitely out so I was thinking of shipping him out this morning and hoping Hazard might start. He’s a differential now that everyone’s sold him!
Its a tough one. I just think, he’s not missed a game in the Prem, and he’ll want to be on to lift the trophy. Will teeth stop him playing? My missus had the same said when she ran it put pressure and caused pain so Im leaning towards selling him. This is the decision that may cost me!
I’ve convinced myself, I think he’ll start on the bench, and come on for a few mins so he can lift the cup with the team. Im selling.
And now I’ve kept him. Protecting a lead, my rival has him, so i’ve done Ramsey to Coutinhio, who he has. Fingers crossed, good luck everyone!
