FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 31
Welcome to the FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 31. It was duller than dull but somehow 42pts brought us another green arrow, our 6th in 7 weeks. We’re so good at this. Ah the rank, well we rose a small 2.5k to 166,358…. hmmm maybe we’re not that good! Those celebrated green arrows have seen us rise from 252k to 166k. Talk about ‘Slowly, slowly catchee monkey’. At this rate we will at least achieve our stated aim of a top 10k finish… by GW57! Let’s just hope Richard Scudamore is listening!
Thank the Lord, not you Pards, that we bought Mahrez a couple of weeks ago as his goal and assist made him our top scorer this week. Otamendi and Lowton both chipped in with clean sheets with the City man collecting 2bps to push our score above the average.
No-one else did anything, little no-one. Even our new hero Pritchard was a failure. And as for capo Kane…..
Last weeks result…
This week’s transfer – SOLD: MAHREZ, BOUGHT: MANE
Choices, choices! There were just so many this week (sort of) and we could have gone for one (or more) of many. Well, we say choices. There were also so many variables and unknowns, as we are sure many of you may have spotted when logging onto your FPL teams this week –
Which one of the three Bournemouth strikers will actually play?
Is Benteke still nailed on having being tossed off at half-time last week by an irate Roy Hodgson (what an image!)?
Can Everton be trusted away from Goodison?
Will Mounie retain his spot?
And that’s just a selection of the questions raised in what was becoming a frankly tiresome and never ending circle of a Site Team debate!
And as such we decided to just go route one and plump for an in form player who is (we hope!) guaranteed to at least start.
We didn’t particularly want to sell Mahrez but we do of course have the option of buying him straight back next week if we so wish and then there is the small matter of a certain Wildcard on the horizon anyway. Which was also discussed and it seems like we are favouring that in GW33 ahead of the big DGW34 with a view to deploying our Bench Boost in that one itself. Which should be fun, considering that simply buying a 3rd Liverpool attacking asset took us three days to agree on this week!
We could of course have pushed the boat out and taken a hit for Kane but we decided to keep our powder dry on that one given that we don’t actually know who will start amongst the main candidates in that spot. We shall instead take a one week punt on his replacement next week before Wildcarding after that in GW33.

INTRODUCING FANTASY TOTE…
Our new partner has a few words to explain their wonderfully simple to play daily fantasy game. Please do them and us a favour by clicking on the banner link below, have a browse and give their game a try. Over to them…
Fantasy Tote is the next evolution in Fantasy Football. Play daily & weekly games to win real cash prizes.
There are no budget restrictions like in FPL so it’s open season on the big players and makes it easy and quick to play. But can you pick the right team to win big?
Hey guys. Cheers for that. Would you take a hit here to make any changes and who would you get if anyone?
man u man,
I’d prob try and get another midfielder in there or possibly a striker….
names I would consider are: Shaqiri, Zaha, Wilson, Mounie.
Cheers Cookie.
Josh King and Ryan Fraser just two of a number of ‘niggling injuries’ Eddie Howe says will need late assessments after training.
Wilson it is then
‘two of a number’ – might include him!
Unless you can read minds what can you do
The official line….
Wilson is ok!
and he is feeling fully recharged, by the looks of the emoji 😆
So are people wildcarding in GW32 or 33?
I was looking at it early, and it could well depend on the FA Cup results this weekend, but I’m seriously considering holding this naff team for another, albeit with a point hit to ditch Wilson and Shaqiri. Chelsea’s and Spurs’ fixtures in gw32 the put-offs for me.
That’s it in a nutshell for me which is why I’m unsure
Well it’s Spurs V Chelsea game vs a naff squad for me.
Yep – feel like with a -4 I might be able to hold off for a week, given I’ve kept the likes of Vardy.
Yeah this pretty much sums up how I’m feeling, I was dead set on hitting it Saturday but I’ll hold off and possibly hold my garbage team one more week!
Afternoon all :coffee:
Ready for the CL/UEL draw ?
lol best keep that PS4 you’ll be needing it soon enough
City playing UTD and Liverpool the same week?
The league will be over by then
We can play it together, online
!!
Hey guys,
Hope you are all well and having great week. I had to play my free hit this week, with the slim hope of catching my league leaders. Would really appreciate any help with the team I’ve picked. What would your dream team be this game week?
Lossi / Pickford (can’t decide which to play)
Ake / Zouma / Coleman
Van la parra / salah (c) / stanislas / shaqiri / mane
Firmino / mounie
Subs- tosun / holebas / van aanholt
Happy Hammer
Butland
Baines, PvA, Ake
Stanislas, Salah, Mane, Zaha, Shaqiri
Wilson, Firmino,
Thanks cookie
Yeah I think Cookie has picked the best team
What to do with this team? I got 1 ft? Regret getting vDijki, lol.
Delete it !
Mounie & Wilson for Kun+Kane ?
Since you don’t have Mane, think it’s best to invest in attack.
Raz, this would be my FH team this week so I’d recommend you getting one of the mids and one striker.
Yep, think I would agree with Cookie on this team – perhaps Bolasie or Walcott over Zaha, although obviously conflicts with Butland.
