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?
Am I all good to go then?
0 FT
Looks good beno. I think most teams will be almost identical this week anyways.
Afternoooooon. Bets at the ready for the last day of Cheltenham. How is everyone?
What time is the Gold Cup, Milbs?
3:30 squire. I’m on “Road to Respect” however it should be noted I know nothing at all about horses.
I think that makes you more likely to win on horses!
Haha here’s hoping!
Hello everyone, I’m sitting about 11,000th and have 7 players for this week having already used the free transfer.
The problem is I have an itchy finger and am considering getting two Bournemouth forwards in, Wilson and Defoe. I know it’s a punt but should I do it? Any other ideas?
Current Squad:
VVD, Ake
Shaqiri, Walcott, Salah, Pritchard
Firmino
40 points clear in mini league, all chips remaining, WC in 32 or 33.
Thanks!
Wouldn’t get the twosome – can’t see them both playing.
Agree with AT on this, Only go one of them. Most are on Wilson it appears
Thanks everyone. My thinking was that by covering Wilson and Defoe I would be covering two of the 4 big, ahem, hitters in the Bournemouth attack.
I don’t want to ship Mahrez out so can’t have Stanislas so thought that by covering two from Wilson, King and Defoe is almost covering the bases. Or should I go Wilson and King?
Haha, I’m in a right old pickle this week.
Cheers.
Twinkle double up on another Bou def Daniels maybe punt 😉
Is Stanislas worth getting for a 4 points hit. I have only 7 players for this week.
I would get Stanislas in on a -4 if I didn’t have Mahrez. Any ideas re my conundrum above?
Afternoon all.
This is what I have currently with 2 ft. The players in willing to swap out are 3 from kane, kun, miki and sterling (although o would lose quite a bit of value on sterling)
Looking at bringing in 3 from Wilson, mounie, zaha, shaq and Stanislas but no idea which way to go.
Any help appreciated
Cheers
Hey Dreamers bloody night mare losing Kane & Kun I’ve brought Wilson & Mounie in but not even sure they will start not want I wanted but hey what can we do I thk 8 is enough 😉
Afternoon all already thinking about WC team any must have going fwd ?????
Lukaku or Auba! not must but should surely be considered, now more as both Kane and Kun are injured, Utd out of CL and Luka has been in form recently and Auba also cup tied so will start league reguralrly
Auba, Miki, Mahrez, DDG, Son just to name a few.
