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

Instead of either Rondond and Barnes, if I have the funds; is Lukaku a smart choice?
I don’t think he is, also depends on your chip strategy, are you playing FH in GW32? If so Lukaku is a bad choice, you need someone (Barnes) who playes GW31&33…
No
Thanks guys
Would you:
A) Play Anderson against City
B) Play Bednarek against Fulham
C) Sell Bissaka for TAA for a hit and play TAA against Watford
Definitely not C for me.
Probably A.
Yeah I’m leaning towards that too, I don’t have faith in a Soton cleanie, Anderson might nick a goal who knows… Cheers Frenchie!!
+1
I’d go B in that scenario
Cheers Hatters!
Sorry but I couldn’t resist, this will probably never happen again in my FPL “career”:
Deulofeu when he was in my team between GW19 – GW26 (8 GWs) got me a total of 22 points, and as we all know he got 23 points in GW27 (1 GW) when he was on my bench for the first time…. 😆
I’ve used all my transfers but is it worth the – 4 hit to get in Mane in place of Pogba or Son who likely won’t have many chances this week? My team is good but I feel Liverpool could score a few
I wouldn’t do it, at least not for Pogba… For Son it might be worth it but it’s risky too, I feel he will get loads of chances against Arsenal on the weekend!
Depends on chip stretegy. If you’re going to FH in GW32 then it could be worth it but otherwise I wouldn’t.
Is there any chance of Rashford starting? Or can I safely leave him on my bench?
hi brenda. i know for sure he won’t start as Ole said he was a major doubt. I personally think Ole will leave him out and get him ready for GW29. If you start him, make sure you have a reasonable bench cover.
Thanks Eresh.
Do think Aguero will start? I prefer him to Auba…who do you have?
A reliable old friend has stated that TAA and Keita will start this GW and Firmino could be out for the derby next week.
By old friend I mean Anfield Express, so it’s almost certainly true 😆
hey AT, thanks for that update. i take it one of those guys keep in contact with you on the twitterverse? 😉
Haha, no eresh – I’m sure you remember but they used to announce the team accurately every week before the GW deadline and have now reincarnated into just giving us some of the information! Can’t say I’ve ever spoken to them personally, but they were a friend to all of us FPLers at that stage 😆
fair enough AT. i knew they were suspended from twitter but didn’t know they resurfaced again. just saw their account on twitter now
Their previously accurate team info originated from an LFC fan forum they frequented. They noticed one user on there was unerringly accurate with their line-ups each week. And so basically took to nicking the info and tweeting it. Transpires that the original user was a good friend of one of the players. I don’t believe he posts the team any more after it was all exposed but I dare say they talk privately.
+ 1 cheers for this innit. hows things mate?
