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…

Morning
For once the beers didn’t make me do something stupid last night!
Team for GW29; good to go?
:drinks: (ironic I know)
Good luck mate.
Looks good. Best of luck!
Gents, would you go for more dgw29 cover here?
1FT and 1.1 itb.
Thinking maybe i.e. Fernandes for Mahrez/Pepe.
Auba would have to be for a hit unfortunately.
Suggestions welcomed with open arms!
I don’t think it’s worth it with that side you have. You can’t justify taking Salah or Bruno out in my view.
You can do Firmino to Auba and Traore to Saka for a hit.
That’s a good suggestion
Thanks. Considered this, but I’d be losing two bgw31 players so I don’t think this is something I’ll do
I could do it for Ings and Fernandes though, still seems a bit over the top on a hit
Cheers GP, this was my conclusion the other day as well. I’m a bit worried that Auba will bang in two or more, he is my preferred captain choice
Starting 11 and bench order looking right?
Maybe move up one?
Taylor – missing the key word :hippo:
All set this week? Captain Auba with vice on KDB. Bench in the right order?
Looks very good. I’ve have Aurier over Cantwell as first sub.
Morning all.
Don’t see an obvious way to get Auba in. Anything I’m missing? Thinking I’ll play as is unless there is.
Basham ahead of anyone playing?
Kdb as captain?
Thanks all.
I have the same challenge and have gone with Salah as capo, I don’t have the guts to go for KdB
Only concern would be keeping the armband on KDB. Might be an inspired call though
Is capo on PEA a trap? Anyone going with Salah?
Clearly are based on the poll above.
You?
I have Salah and PEA. Going Salah I think. The potential pain if Vardy (my transfer out) and Salah go big and Auba blanks is to risky, so keeping the armband on Salah.
Fear is never a good path.
Pea will do his business. He has all season.
And I don’t have him… So I’m shitting myself. Hehe.
Salah :yes:
