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…

Tnx for the site team and the articles guys. Been out all week so missed everything. Didn’t know about the dgw or the bgw following it. Any suggestions? I got 1ft and 2.4m in the bank. Choices. Help! :big_boss: :big_boss:
Greenwood to Jota?
Stephens/Williams to Doherty?
Holgate to Doherty is probably the best move. Or Williams to Doherty.
I really don’t fancy Williams so that would be my preference
Miss out on Auba though?
Seems I have to miss out on Auba. Fck that. Hehe.
yep I think you have to, I’ve reached the same conclusion – begrudgingly I might add
Raziel, if its any consolation, I have to miss out on Auba as well unless I want to make it harder on getting a team for gw31 without using FH
If u want to chase the DGW, Bruno/Mane->Saka, Ings->Auba. Its hard in ur case because Bruno is in hot form and Mane has an easy fixture
Plus Mane plays 31, so keep mane. May be Bruno ->Saka, Ings->Auba
Yeah, makes no sense to make those moves.
No hard feelings mate. But that’s literally chasing points for a dgw… Messing up my team in the proces.
Similar team to me mate, I’ve just had to accept Auba ain’t happening for me!
Hey Raz. It’s either Salah+KDB+Mane or both + Auba. I think Mane can benefit you in terms of the coming blank game. Also, there’s no way you can get Auba without a hit. So, not having Auba makes sense given your situation.
But, I’d still suggest Traore to Saka for no hit. That’ll enable you to have Jota for Greenwood in future.
Unsure if I want Jota or not Doherty… I might be wrong but Jota’s form has lasted long enough for my liking. Haha. Get back to being the old Jota please. :biggun:
You could have both, if you want.
Capo?
Da capo?
Dei capi?
Das Kapital?

El Chapo?
This all gave me a chuckle this morning
So, I’m about to do Vardy/Barnes (Go Leicester!!!) to Auba/Saka for a hit…. Will leave me with DCL too… Could have Nketiah and Auba and Barnes instead too… But Nketiah isn’t going to play, is he? Auba(C) -4 and hope he hauls against Hammers, then a bit of extra from City… Laporte is out so City aren’t keeping cleanies, that’s for sure! :excited:
Best of luck, Zed.
Unless of course your moves / post was a form of shame therapy – in which case, I’m very sorry.
Indeed, the quickest path to cultivating healthy anger…
Laporte is out indeed, which means Otamendi will step in and that could make a difference 😉
I’ll tell you a fact: Otamendi can’t cope with Auba’s pace! :wink2:
Who knows :unknw: :wink2:
We all do, it’s a fact :rofl:
Oh sugar! City will be like a sieve! Hope their attack is on song!
Guys am I gtg and is the bench in the right order?
yes
+1
Uhm… I mean if you can field 15, good on you. Def’ gtg then :wink2:
I’d bench Taylor/Lasc., Dendonkey and Hanley. In that order.
:laugh2: thanks guys.
Right, i’ll do Vardy out for Auba, have 7.0 mill left for a mid. Who would you buy ?
Sarr.
What are you planning to do, Elleffcee?, he added politely.
Dunno. I’ll worry about 31 when it turns up, i’ve given up, just messing about now.
Yeah, Sarr I reckon…
Depends on your 31 plans. Saka if you have no mind to it. Sarr if you do.
As reply above me old mucker.
Evening all.
Team is pretty threadbare and can’t see any way to attack the DGW as well as prepare for GW31 without multiple hits, so what do you reckon I should be doing. Still have WC, BB % FH (think that FH31 and BB37 will be the way to go)
OBi-Wan > Vinagre to free up some funds, or just Williams to Vinagre? Also open to any options that involve a -4.
Cheers
Robbo
Constantine has played a clever wildcard so you may want to think about that.
If that’s too drastic then Alli to Sarr is a boat maybe worth sailing. I wouldn’t take a hit.
