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…

Ok I’ve whittled it down to:
Holgate to Doherty (form, fixtures and plays in 31)
Or
Vardy to Aubameyang (form, DGW, no game in 31)
1FT and 1.9m
Definitely Vardy to Auba for me! Your defenders are fine this week so you don’t need Doherty, you can get him later for GW31, plus of course Auba has the double now!
That’s pretty convincing! Cheers Zed.
Don’t feel like Traoré gives me much Wolves ‘cover’ but guess I’ll have to ride it out.
Would you go near Saka in for Dendoncker? Frees up a wolves spot for the future
If it helps Nuno mentioned Dendo specifically in so much as how his recent inclusion has helped tactically so he may be afforded more time.
I can see the appeal given you’d probably want Jimenez/Jota for GW31…. But that would be for a hit? It’s a bit of a gamble, could work though…
Hey Beno I did Auba and Saka in for Vardy and Grealish for a minus 4 if that helps.
It would be for a hit yeah. I’ll probably have to take one at some point if I want Doherty and Jimenez/Jota
I did Vardy/Barnes to Auba/Saka too for a hit, but that was because I couldn’t afford Vardy to Auba as a straight swap… I wouldn’t have taken the hit if I didn’t have to (although I didn’t have to free up a Wolves slot either)
Could be a good time to do it if Sakas two games repay the hit. Although dno who id bench.
Vardy —> Aubameyang
Cheers Ben
So those with Auba and Salah, captaining Auba?
I feel Salah could do big vs Bournemouth
Auba
+1
He could indeed but probability still says go for the two games. To me.
This is my reason too
If it was a SGW I would’ve gone with Mane. This Salah cult is a history :yes:
Nice one Ivan, a cheeky way of saying what I said :laugh2:
Zed, it has been my opinion all along. This cult resembles the brexiteers, they knew how bad it is bad still insisted, just for the sake of it. Ridiculous inertia I would say :yes:
You used to say exactly the same about Kun, Ivan, when he was banging them in week after week. How Edin Džeko was the better player.
Salah has been the game’s top scorer for the past two years.
He is currently the second highest points’ scorer this season.
You need to slap your hand down hard on the table and move the stuck record along.
Salah also has 7 double-digit hauls this season, Auba has 4
Yes Kralin. I still insist than Mane is the outstanding player for this particular season. It looks like he is more involved and eager. We all have different opinions but mine is that Mane is miles ahead.
Mane is a grea great player scouted to England by Southampton scouts :superman:
You were telling us at the start of last season that Salah was a busted flush and would not repeat what he had done before. No evidence was offered to support this view.
It’s fine, you have an irrational, non-fantasy based bias against Salah for whatever reason. But it gets a bit wearing: like a stuck record, or rather like a dog barking long into the night.
I think Zed summit all
Auba, sadly (as I don’t have him)
G’evening folks, here’s a challenge for you.
How do I get a bit of DGW29 cover and still plan for bgw31 with this lot? 1FT, 1.1itb
I’ve given up, my best guess is maybe Mahrez/Pepe for Fernandes… Can’t get Auba (my preferred capo) w/o a hit – Happy see you solve this :wink2:
Bench Stephens or Soyuncu?
Stephens imo, marginally better odds. But you know, flip a coin
Yeah I know, 50% chance of scuffing it
Am I now good to go?
Did Iheanacho & Ings to Jota/Jiminez
Could have got Auba but didnt think it was the right moves.
Bench order ok?
Captain?
I’d do Tanganga/Dendo/Fernandez I think
Thanks Zed
Well done ! Great articles this week.
Would you start Saka or Richarlison if you had this lot?
Saka, probably, two bites of the cherry and all that.
Don’t forget to watch out for the stone though, it is a drupe after all…
