FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW29
How far in does one go…
said the priest to the… We’re here all week. It was also the question posed this week as we considered exactly what constituted enough DGW coverage. But more on that later.
Let’s deal with last week first. A celebration of dullness. In the most weird of game-weeks we somehow scored 41 points, which saw us comfortably beat the ridiculously low average of 26 points. We won’t complain that 29 of our 41 points came from just four of our team. Indeed, we gained 22 points from the goalless draw betweem Newcastle and Burnley thanks to a 10pt haul from Pope and clean sheets from Lascelles and new recruit Taylor, who only made it into our XI as an autosub for the injured Vardy. Jiménez did us proud with a late 7pter at Spurs.
The other seven numpties got a rocket up their arses in the dressing room and a significant improvement is expected next week.
Our score lifted us back into the top 100k – we now sit at 82,708th place, our highest rank since GW19.
Our GW28 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided…
Our G29 Transfer(s)
The main question was as above; how much do we want to invest in this particular DGW? The problem with it being that it completely contradicts BGW31 as neither Man City or Arsenal feature in that one. Our decision was helped a touch by the fact that Grealish and Vardy don’t either. And we had two free transfers to burn. As it stood we had 6 players for BGW31. And we weren’t / still aren’t sure what our approach to that one would be in regards to our FH chip. Prior to Leicester and Norwich winning that looked like a more healthy 9.
With our WC / BB combo being our only real remaining weapon(s) of choice aside from said FH chip we think our best option may be to deploy them all on DGW’s 34 & 37 but that does leave us in the lap of the Fixture Gods a bit. Which means going into BGW31 a bit understaffed. But we shall just have to make of that what we can with the remaining transfers ahead of it, and perhaps the odd hit come it.
We felt it may be helpful to share our thoughts on that but back to matters at hand and this week itself; the main issue was whether to go Kun or Auba. Auba will almost certainly play in both, Kun maybe less so. Auba it was then. Sometimes it really is that simple. In order to facilitate Auba though we needed to downgrade elsewhere and we have decided to lose Grealish for Saka. We like Saka, but he’s an upside down OOP player. But my word he’s cheap!
To confirm then we have SOLD Vardy & Grealish and BOUGHT Saka & Aubameyang
Captain – Aubameyang
Three of our panel actually had reservations about buying Auba. Then they all went and picked him as captain once he was in! Pass. We suspect the KDB shoulder injury rumours may have played a part and they all simply went for gametime over uncertainty. KDB still wears the vice band, should he be able to lift his arm…

Still in two minds as to what to do
Part of me doesnt know whether to bring back Vardy, or whether to bring in Auba, but it alters my GW31 plans to some extent.
Initially I thought of doing Iheanacho & Ings to Jota/Jimenez this week.
But dont know whether to do the following instead:
A) Iheanacho->Vardy and Ings->Jota(gw31 player)
B) Iheanacho->Auba and Ings->Ayew (gw31 player)
If I went B), at least I would have another DGW this week, just in case kdb doesnt play/or play full 90 in both games etc.
What would people do? Ideally I would like as many gw31 players as possible so not to FH
Simple one this.
Playing FH in 31? Do whatever you want
Not playing FH in 31? Sell a player without a game (In 31) buy one with a game (in 31)
Rosco, ok, so that sounds like I should go with my gut, and bring in Jota and Jiminez, as they are both gw31 players.
But just dubious as think Auba/Vardy will score a few this week.
I get your apprehension, I feel it too, but I decided to play 31 without the FH so I have brought in two wolves players this week and I’ll be ignoring the DGW. Sure, it may hurt this week, but I have faith in my long term plan…. so I’ll try not to moan too much when it backfires!!
Its the uncertainty with kdb as well thats doesnt help.
So I’m now thinking because of dgws prob in 34 and 37 it would make sense to wildcard and bench boost and free hit for these.
So why not triple captain this round?
On? You have to use it somewhere so why not I guess although the double itself isn’t the most enticing for either on paper.
Aubameyang. I mean otherwise I will inevitably using on a single gameweek, or is there chance of 3 more dgws?
Very little chance of that happening.
I don’t see why not. This maybe the week to use it
Well lads. Anyone think TC On Auba is worth a shot this week. Still have all my chips but rank has plummeted in the last few weeks.
It’s not the worst idea! Neither is putting it on Salah to be fair!!
Yeah that’s true to Rosco. Salah is a good option too.
Definitely worth a shot.
Cheers GP. It’s definitely worth a shot alright. I’ll BB and free hit in the doubles hopefully it pays off if I use it. 😆
Right that’s that then. Triple captain. The balls are out
Put them away. Please.
:bounce: :bounce
Good luck!
:bounce: fail!
My early transfer has come back to bite me, brought in Jota for Ings before news of the DGW was confirmed. I was going to keep my FH for GW 31 but now I’m not sure. Here is my team, is it time to panic yet? 😉
Don’t free hit and DON’T transfer unnecessarily early!
Truth GP! My first early transfer this Season, thought I would get ahead of the Jota bandwagon… worked out great lol. I guess I could take a -4 for someone or just hope for the best. Couldn’t have brought in PEA anyway without a hit.
That looks very strong to me. I don’t think I’d break that up to get any Arsenal in to be honest. Need to start thinking about GW31 from next week.
Jota is a good move and he’s in form!
Nice team!!
All,
Am I good to go or should I take a -4 and bring in either KDB or Mane or Jota in for Ings?
Mane out for a -4 makes no sense for a potentially injured KDB.
Ings at home to Newcastle is as good at Jota at home to Brighton.
You’re looking for problems Mitro. Relax with your beer tonight!
Cheers GP! Just on the hunt for my main ML at the minute so I’m willing to take a few risks!
Knowing when to take them is just as crucial.
I am very jealous of your team Mitro, your team is good to go!! If you think you have problems go and look at my team a comment up from this and have a good laugh.
Apart from him probably only having 2 defenders :wink2:
A minor detail. ha
It will be dealt with soon enough not just this week
