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

Any word on wan bissaka yet?
Sky journo has said he’s more likely to return this weekend. Can’t find anything on Palace twitter though and haven’t gone through the press conference to confirm it myself!
Good news. Not fussed about him tonight but would be good to see him back for the brighton game
Guys who do I captain, Kun, PEA or Salah, leaning towards PEA, not sure though. Any help.
I’m on Salah atm
I’m on PEA, with Salah as VC (I don’t have Kun).
Thanks guys. I think I’ll go with PEA.
Hey guys! Long time! Heres my team:
Etheridge
Doh – Kola – Bednarek
Son – Pogba – Salah (C) – Madd
Kun – Jim – Rash
Patricio – Alonso – Stephens – Cook
Hey B !
Good to have you back.
Team looks GTG.
Maybe just Rashford to Barnes or Rondon if you haven’t already used your FT.
I need to make some sort of transfer. 0.1 in the bank and two free transfers. Or do I just bring in Kun now Jesus is out. Already lost 0.3 on Auba
Dendocker to Hayden?
There’s a great chance Auba could outscore Kun this GW so don’t really see the need, I’m keeping Auba and switching to Aguero next GW, why not just sell Rashford for Barnes or Rondon with BGW31&33 in mind?
I’ve got the C on Auba right now. Few above me in my ML have Aguero so need something different if I’m gonna make a move. Good luck y’all.
Auba has been a disaster thinking Aguero and Boruc in for Fab and Auba now
Afternoon lads and lassies. How are you all? Need some advice on two questions:
1. Etheridge or McCarthy?
2. Who to captain? As you can see I’m on Jimenez but is that too risky?
Auba over Jimenez captain for me!
Cheers Zed I had it on Auba but he’s screwed me over twice now so was hesitant.
I capped him last GW, will cap him again, he’ll start! Then will sell for Kun
Good plan mate! I was thinking similar re selling him.
Yeah, hoping he’ll outscore Kun this GW!
You and I both mate!
Salah for me
I considered Salah, AK but he’s just not firing and looks out of sorts but not capping him could backfire immensely!
Hey guys!
Been a while, I have a few options for captaincy and unsure exactly if I should start Del over anyone?
Cheers
I think I’d start him over Antonio but just barely.
I’m benching that tosser !
Thanks coloriles, haha zed I’m guessing you benched him last week?
Yeah I did
Hat trick incoming!
