FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW28
Ashley does Dallas…
We’ve had indifferent game-week’s, we’ve had bad game-week’s and then we’ve had this game-week. A thought probably shared by a good many. We began with the faint hope of having a solid 11 plus a possible sub, and ended up with 9. A thought probably shared by a good many. We began with a seemingly solid captain choice, he came home with 4 points, we didn’t even answer the door. A thought probably shared by a good many.
We did manage to cobble together a hat-trick of sorts, we got a full set; a clean sheet, an assist and a goal. That’d be news if it was from one player, unfortunately it wasn’t, it was between the whole sorry lot of them. Well, the ones who actually bothered to play anyway.
We won’t bore you with the details of the other 6, their lack of contributions are evident on the pic below. In total we got 34 points, and a second consecutive red arrow which dumped us down to 34,980th. It’s not ideal but at the same time it’s hardly a crisis. With all the chips in hand we are still confident of a good finish.
Last week’s result…
Before we get going on this weeks decision we should remind you that;
THIS WEEKS DEADLINE IS; TUESDAY 18:45
This week’s transfer decision…
This week we had 1 FT and £2.7m in the bank, aka the Kun fund….
Some combo of Kun going for 120 minutes at the weekend, and Pep being known for rotation, and Auba getting a rest has actually led us to shelve the Kun plan for a bit. It’s not that we are completely risk averse but we do tend to favour playing the odds a bit. And it’s not as if Auba doesn’t have a very decent looking game in front of him.
As a result our attention turned elsewhere and ultimately to finally replacing Wilson. And ironically it won’t be with Rashford, which was always the intention if we could ever catch an opportunity to do so, having not been in a position to previously after an unfortunate overload on Man United assets. Some things are just never meant to be. Not wanting to use much of our bank, and with a firm eye on BGW’s 31 and 33 we narrowed down our choices to Rondon (Newcastle) and Barnes (Burnley). The brackets are important there as there was some internal confusion over the identity of the latter, which had us at some point buying Cliff Barnes (one for the teenagers), John Barnes and Harvey Barnes. And Cliff Richard, don’t ask….
We couldn’t really split them in all honesty, their fixtures are equally reasonable, as is the form of both them and their respective teams. Both have a game in 31 and both may have a game in 33. Rondon is the ‘may’ bit of that though as Newcastle’s involvement there depends on the FA Cup results. And so, scratching around for any small reason to pick one over the other, we decided to go with Barnes, almost on a technicality.
Our Captain is Salah, our Vice is Auba
This was a tough one and it went to the wire. We have two really strong candidates in Mo and Auba. Both got two votes each with the other being on the reverse vice side of each one. The deciding vote went with Salah, again with Auba as vice, it really was that close.
Our team in full…
And lastly, don’t forget that this weeks deadline;
DON’T FORGET THE DEADLINE IS ON TUESDAY 18:45

Hello
Did Rashford to kun, Am I set up for GW28?
looks good mitro
Hey
Have had a horrendous last 6 gws. Never had 6 red arrows in a row. Dropped from 14k to 130k and I desperately need to reverse the tide.
1 FT. 1.1 ITB. Need some help lads
You team looks good for these midweeks matches. Honestly, even though it’s been a bad run, I’d be tempted to save the FT or, just as I have, ruthlessly sell Rashford for Barnes or Rondon.
Cheers James. I’m actively considering that rn.
I don’t think you particularly need to do anything there. Other than shifting the armband up and to the left a bit.
hahaha yes, it’s definitely going that way. Cheers innit
Shall I Captain Salah do we think?
Personal choice that one. I have both and have gone with Kun. Close call though.
A) Bednarek in for Peltier?
B) save the transfer
If A, would you bench Trippier?
I will FH31, so Bed could come in handy for double 32 and single 33.
That’s an e d g y defence.
I’d be tempted by Bednarek too, but as a warning, I’ve been heartbroken by Southampton conceding very late goals recently. Multiple times.
They got me a total of 0 points last week (and for the 2nd time this season btw) so an improvement on that would be lovely.
I won’t jinx that by saying “things can only get better” here…
Good luck. I took your encouragement on board, by the way, so fingers crossed that it does improve.
decided to bring in aguero in the end. this is my set team. all good with correct benching order guys?
I’ve got a slight 3rd-defender crisis unfolding. With no FTs but 1.7 sat in the bank, well, as it stands:
Peltier with Everton (H) with a 75% flag [currently starting];
Diop with Man City (A) who’s fully fit [2nd on the bench];
AWB with Man United (H) who’s definitely injured [3rd on the bench].
My question — with a FH in DGW32 planned — is would a defensive 4-point hit for Pereira be worth it? Assuming that Diop comes on for Peltier with 1 point or worse, I’d need Pereira to get a CS or assist for instant vindication, but it would yield an extra player for BGW31 and BGW33 too. Any thoughts? It’s tempting, even though Leicester have been leaky, very leaky…
Go for it.
I did it last week with Pereira, which didn’t work but the logic is solid enough.
