Welcome to our Fantasy Football leagues section.
The League Codes for FF247 for the 2018/19 season are as follows –
Decent score of 63 (-4) so far with Higuain an DLuiz to play. But defence looks rough for next week and who do you think makes way for Pogba? 1FT 2.3 itb
Otieno
Which chips do you have left to play?
Just TC and BB left
Pogba in for Westwood I think for a start.
Need to try to get a decent bench for your BB so Boruc and Daniels out for DGW players.
Wilson to Jimenez as well maybe. Maddison to Doucoure or Ward-Prowse. How you go about this and if you take hits is up to you. I’d aim for a good bench and BB in GW35 though.
Morning all!
Feeling fine after a Vardy cappo
Quick question for admin team – could MadHatter and I enter our all-conquering doubles team into the regulars’ league? Our collective brain works a helluva lot better than our individual ones and if we get our wc+bboost right we’re on for top 100 overall…probably jinxed it now!
No. You can go into the worldwide FF247 league but not the Regulars league.
Oh, you can go in the H2H leagues if you like.
Elle, just for clarification, is that because we don’t accept doubles teams in the Regs league or because its too late in the season to join?
Too late. You can’t just shoehorn a team in there at GW34 because you’ve realised it’s doing well. They’ll both have an individual team in there already I’d imagine. Nothing personal but it’s unfair on those that have been in there all season.
How many SGW players you are planning to keep in WC34?
Maybe 2 Liverpool and possibly Vardy. One of the big calls this WC, I feel.
What about you?
I probably will get TAA (sell Robo – just for budget) – thinking of keeping Mane and sell Salah – same budget reason. But if TC is to be played in GW36, then Salah can be a good choice. Though both Salah and Mane are in golden boot race.
(1) City – Honestly I have no confidence – with so many important matches in horizon, almost none will play DGW (may be Ederson perhaps). Aguero will strive for Golden boot, but he is not 100% fit. Problem is that even in SGW, one can fire, but you never know who.
(2) Spurs – good fix, but not sure whom to get. None is in form – may be Kane for golden boot race.
(3) GK – struggling. Ryan for Gw34, but his Gw35 is not good. Gunn, Foster are other 2 cheapos.
(4) ARS – my team and so far I have not picked anyone in the season. Fix is quite tricky.
(5) Utd – planning to ignore, but they have good Gw34 matchup. At least own’t get Pogba.
(6) Wan-B – My only Gw1 player – sad to sell him.
Brighton is confusing me – they have good DGW34 and bad DGW35 – even 36-38 are not great.
I share your feelings about W-B. He will be going, but I can’t bear to say goodbye to him yet. He’s been really handy this season.
I have the same feelings about Robertson, too, though moving him to TAA will take some of the pain away.
I feel less confused about Brighton when I limit myself to two of their players – Ryan and Duffy. Otherwise my brain starts to be scrambled.
Hmm..you are correct about Brighton. max, Ryan and Duffy for Gw34 and then well decide depending on condition.
In current draft I have only one – Mane.
Right now only TAA… But might bring someone else in ahead of 36….
Mane and TAA I expect
Will need to work Salah in for 36 somehow
Exactly – but with find spread out in 15 players, its very difficult to get him in. We have to take hit. Nearest price point is Sterling, still you need 2m in bank. I am thinking Mane (TC) – easier to fit/get, not sure though.
Probably just Mane. And a plan to get Salah & Firmino for 36.
Mane
The wildcarding continues…
Will Kane be worth 12,5 or should i go auba/laca. Or Kane, Kun auba/laca? Sterling will have to go in that case….
Kane’s worth it I think, looking at fixtures and (hopefully) nailedness.
+1
+ captain thing
Ramsey or maybe even özil anyone?
Rambo seems to always have some sort of flag on him. Ozil is interesting and risky but they have loads of away games which is a problem with him. See how he goes today
I quite like this except for a 4.2 bench midfielder. Hudson could be anyone. Might have 4.3 for a midfielder if Aguero drops in price or if Auba rises who knows. I still have bench boost and triple captain left. I fancy Salah for triple captain against Huddersfield so will have to get him back. I currently have no Watford and they have decent fixtures. I have no United, Pogba has gone back to being well Pogba uninterested. No Chelsea if I don’t go with Hudson, fixtures ain’t great and won’t be able to afford Hazard.
Goalkeepers. Mainly price Ryan two doubles and then rotates ok with Gunn.
Defence.
TAA has great fixtures going forward. Stats are decent.
Kolasinac heat map is crazy he’s getting forward so much and Arsenal have decent enough fixtures.
Bennett is a regular in the Wolves team and is unlikely to be rotated.
Dunk like Ryan has two doubles. Would I prefer Duffy yeah but do not have the cash.
Bednerak. He’s a decent enabler not much around 3.9 plus has an ok double and plays every week.
Midfield
Jota. More than capable of double digit scores and is playing out of position with very good fixtures.
Son. Plays Huddersfield next. Seems to be rested and Spurs have decent fixtures.
Sterling. City are capable of scoring against anyone and he’s usually involved.
Mane. Just a single GW but will want Liverpool assets back. Does he cover Salah?
Hudson-Odoi. Could be anyone. If he plays he will get points but that’s the question.
Strikers
Aguero. Expect him to be fit and to feature a lot for remaining season. It’s Aguero at the end of the day
Jimenez. Easy pick really. Price, form and fixtures.
Kane. Fixtures are great, loads of home games and he’s going for golden boot.
Other than (a) 3 Wolves and (b) 2 City attackers (expecting similar situation as Gw32) – I am going in same direction. If you downgrade Jota by a Watford mid, you can upgrade Bennett/Hudson-Odoi.
Yeah I could do that. Doucoure is interesting if he’s playing further forward. Delafeau has Gray breathing down his neck though.
Or Jota > any SOU player….Jota is any day good though than most of them.
Yeah could be JWP and upgrades elsewhere
That side looks fine to me.
Thanks Kralin. Think I’m fairly set on most of it
I am exactly at same situation as last season. I am at 20k now (with Fabianski, Emerson and Haz to go in Gw33) – last season in the ambition of breaking into 10k, I took some off-template punt and ended other way at 42k.
Looks like again I have to do that to break into 10k – is it possible to follow the template and still rise to 10k in next 5 weeks? TC decision seems to be crucial now.
I’m in a similar position, though have clawed my way (just) into the top 10k. I’m hoping that there are a few people in the top 20k who’ve pushed their luck, expended their chips, and who can be picked off with the BB and TC to come.
I would stick to the template because if you go off-piste you could tumble badly. So for exampe Bees’ 3 x Brighton defenders move is one I may make if I really needed to catch up. But I don’t really feel the need to make that sort of move.
And plan for 34 and 36 as well as 35.
I’d also add that make sure you play your own game. It is very easy to get distracted. It can take a bit of nerve sometimes so always best to remember this is just a game.
Example would be I stuck with Jiminez during the DGW, despite seeing Rashford in pretty much every RMT. As it happened, it didn’t really work out because the extra points I got for Jiminez were cancelled out by Smalling’s hopeless contribution. But you get the drift. If you really fancy someone then go for it. It’s much more satisfying. Most teams at this stage are similar anyway so those minor variations help with identity.
