FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 29
Welcome to the FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 29. It’s dawned on us this week that we’ve been bloody consistent this season. Consistently average! We haven’t had an overall rank in the millions but nor have we had a 5 digit one either. We’ve basically settled into a pattern of floating around the 200k mark. Statistically this puts us in the top 4%. Realistically, it’s not really quite where we want to be. Are we just being too safe? Do we not take the (odd) risks that one maybe would on their own team if it wasn’t so public? Perhaps. Well, we’ve thrown the shackles off this week and gone bat sh!t wild! We haven’t really, of course, but that’s how a certain decision was presented to the committee. We shall come on to that later then but for now here is how we fared last week…
– We scored 61, 11 above the overall average.
– We nailed the armband with Salah’s 20 points.
– Shaq and Kane got us a goal each, as did Lingard, albeit from the bench.
– Otamendi scored more (5) than our other 3 defensive players combined (4).
– Our Everton contingent (remind us why it’s a ‘contingent’ again?!) got us 3 between them.
– We rose a grand 30k in the rankings to finish on 191,445. To put that ‘top 4%’ crap into perspective – we are in a league with our writing team, there are 25 in the league and we are a lowly 15th. Shoot us now.
Last week’s result in full…
This week’s transfer… SOLD: Sterling and BOUGHT: Mahrez
This wasn’t the wild child suggestion. That’s still to come. In fact it’s once again the Plain Jane one. Basically there’s a doubt surrounding Sterling which unfortunately couldn’t be cleared up due to the lack of a Pep press conference this week because of the late Thursday fixture. He may yet play, but we can’t be sure. And even if he does it’s against Chelsea so it’s unlikely to be a cricket score. As such we have decided to replace him with another City, sorry Leicester player who has recently passed our ‘eye test’, having almost as recently been in a sulk and on strike!
He may have not returned any significant points since GW24 but he had 5 goals in 9 games prior to that along with 3 assists and after seeing him against Stoke looking lively and hungry we feel he may be on the cusp of getting that form back. We hope! He has a couple of decent fixtures ahead too so here’s hoping anyway.
The team in full
Our captain is Harry Kane
Hold onto your hats folk, things are about to get hairy. Yep we are now finally on to the MADNESS! that so engulfed us this week, the sheer audacity of it, and all that.
And so we quote one of the team – “Fck it let’s go Kane. Salah is the conservative call, let’s roll the dice on a 50/50”.
Anyone still on their seat and hasn’t yet been blown away by our daring, our laissez-faire, our devil may care attitude?!
Let that sink in for a moment and you may realise why we are so bloody consistent. We just rolled the die on a genuine 50/50… And it was deemed exciting.
It did at least provide some comedy as one joker then asked whom everybody’s Vice Captain would be and three people actually responded! :hippo:

Morning all
Is this good to go?
Was thinking of swapping sterling out for shaq but it would be for a -4. Worth it or not?
Cheers
It’s not worth taking Sterling out for a hit, no. Can’t support that one I’m afraid hammers.
Thanks GP. That’s good, just needed someone to confirm its a silly move.
I’m in danger of getting too blinkered by having players for 31
Morning all
Good write up.
I’m struggling with what to do with my side
1 FT
But would like to get rid of Sterling and Gross
What do you guys think of Sterling > Mane
S2k,
Personally I’d get rid of Masuaku for Robertson or VVD
Masuaku to Robertson probably makes more sense with GW31 coming up.
Cheers guys… think I’ll do that
Morning all, its been a while since I was last on, I reust everyone is doing well?
Im thinking of holding my ft so I can try to to raise the funds for Firmino with 2ft next gw. My teams not in a great state so any other ideas would be appreciated?
1ft 0.8 itb
I’d be inclined to sell KDB and upgrade DCL to Firmino
Shame as it seems you’ve painted yourself into a corner with those two cheap strikers. Firmino today would be ideal.
Can you do Sterling to Mane? That might be a good option.
Thanks gp, id really like firmino going forward – no pun intended – and bringing mane in would bring my LFC players up to 3! Maybe worth a hit? Sterling to VLP and depoitre to Firmino?
DB – that is definitely worth a hit
Thoughts on my team this week? 1.2 ITB 1FT
Sterling > Mahrez
Speroni > Pope
RLC > 5.6 mid
Save FT
Sterling to mahrez is a great move
Sterling to mahrez is a great move might
RLC to van la Parra of Huddersfield, as Cookie highlighted in Tips this week, would give you a GW31 player with good fixtures.
Pope could be at risk soon with the returning Heaton.
could i not wait until next week for that move though, you keeping sterling?
Yeah i did mean wait until next week with that but forgot to say, sorry.
I’m keeping Sterling yeah.
Who you guys leaving the captain armband on? Have it on Salah but inclined to move to Kane now.
Kane for me
Morning guys… Baring in mind I’m trying to build for BGW31, should I do:
1) Zeegelaar to Martina
2) Zeegelaar to Bauer
3) Sod BGW31, Sterling to Mahrez
4) Something else?
I’ve got 2.6 ITB and 1FT.
Cheers.
Be boring and hold this week. You’ll be happy you did trust me.
So play Ogbonna? My defense is looking threadbare.
Yeah he is featuring and it’s only Swansea.
Sorry Carlos
