FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW31
The bare necessities…
A relatively successful week, but one that somehow felt it should have been so much more… Our decision to captain Salah over Vardy cost us 11 valuable points, but we are at least grateful that we brought the latter in at all after his 16 point haul. Our score of 56 was alright – it was better than the average of 48 and saw us achieve the smallest of green arrows, for the second week in a row, to rest at 29, 423rd. However, its a win and we’ll always take a win. When it is stripped down, 48 of the 56 points came from just five of the players, with new recruit Vardy leading the party, while Hazard & Jimenez topped up our score late on with a goal apiece. Our 5-a-side team was made up of assisters Digne and Captain Salah. The rest of the mob can go do one – not even Fabianski could muster his usual 3pts. Which leads us on nicely to this week, and its reduced benefits….
Last week’s result…
Before we get going on this weeks decision we should remind you that;
THIS WEEKS DEADLINE IS ON SATURDAY @ 14:00
This week’s transfer decision…
Going into BGW31 we have 1 free transfer, £3.3m in the bank and 8 players with an actual fixture this week.
We should begin by stating that we made our minds up last week that our chip strategy would (most likely) be; Build for BGW’s 31 & 33 together, FHDGW32, WCGW34, BBDGW35 and TC on a chosen single. Given as we have 8 already this week and 7 definites plus two ‘at risk’ for BGW33 we decided to bring in a couple of players who will feature in both weeks, and lose a couple who won’t, therefore plumping our numbers up for the blanks to 10 and possibly 11 respectively.
The decision itself was very straightforward and a bit route one. With no double Liverpool defence to block our path to the man of the moment we felt that bringing in Mane was a no-brainer. Alongside him we felt we needed some Bournemouth coverage and so Callum Wilson joins the party too.
We should also say that we did consider an extra hit for a defender so that we could field a full 11, whilst invoking the (admittedly flaky) -2 / 0 rule. We ended up deciding not to because the only teams we felt had any real potential in terms of returning a clean sheet were West Ham and Bournemouth. Trouble with both would have been fitting them into our BGW33 team, plus West Ham run into Chelsea in that one and we already own Fabianski. Bournemouth were seriously considered but we still concluded that Newcastle would most likely score and so decided to leave it be.
To confirm then we have SOLD Pogba and Jimenez & BOUGHT Mane and Wilson
Our Captain is Mane, our Vice is Salah
Salah did get one vote, but even that came with an “I think…” attached to it. Mane took the rest for another stress free decision. He’s pretty hard to ignore given the form he is in at the moment, no further explanation required on that one Your Honour.
Our team in full…
Planning Ahead…
The below is how we now look for the GW’s ahead. Built nicely for this and BGW33 we intend to use our Free Hit for the DGW next week.

I currently have TAA, Robertson and Salah.
Would it be a waste of a transfer ditching TAA and bringing in Mane.
I think it’s a waste. TAA and Robertson could easily outscore Mane
my team is
fab
lascelles, TAA, Robertson, Bennett
hazard, son, salah, Anderson
jimenez, Vardy
speroni, camarasa, success, wan bissaka
2x ft
1.9 it
who are the better 2 to change. can always do an extra hit if need be
Son and Success out for Fraser and Wilson or Jimenez and Success out for Wilson and Arnie
Ok, success out, Wilson in.
fraser flagged so dubious about bringing him in
has anyone had any update as to if Fraser willplay at the weekend?
should I lose 4 and replace lascelles, or is it not worth it?
Able to field nine players this week, would have liked to bring in Mane/Wilson for a -4 but would have to drop a pool defender as well for a -8. Safe option was to bring in Fraser but he’s flagged atm. Any suggestions. 1 FT and £3.6m in bank.
Team is currently:
Fabianski
Robertson
Alexander-Arnold
Shaw
Wan-Biasako
Felipe Anderson
Hazard
Salah (c)
Richarlison
Vardy (v)
Barnes
Bench Hamer, Docherty, Camary, Jimenez
Not worth the extra hit for my money. Fraser has trained and is expected to be ok, I’d just go that route.
Yeah. They don’t have too many wide options, especially with Stanislas out. Ibe could play I suppose.
Evening all,
Free hit active, would you make any changes to this team? Thought it was perfect before Higuain getting yellow flagged, is it worth risking leaving him in or should I replace him? Don’t really know who would be a good replacement for this week, could possibly get Arnie and sacrifice Rice or Fabianski, any other changes you guys can think of?
Thanks!
I reckon you switch to Arnie, Veer. Unless anything emerges to suggest he’s trained. Bit of buffer with it only being a 3pm KO tomorrow. I.e 2pm deadline.
Hmm. Salah triple captain before Liverpool run in gets very compact
31/3 Spurs
5/4 Southampton
9/4 Porto
14/4 Chelsea
17/4 Porto
21/4 Cardiff
26/4 Huddersfield
30/4 possible CL Semi final
Before he’s benched against Hud in prep for the semi final 😆
Rules that week out don’t it
Sadly, I think so. Unless Anfield Express rears it’s head again for one last hurrah
Depends on how much damage Liverpool do to Porto in the first meeting.
The tie was over last year after game one.
This crossed my mind too when I saw the thread. Could very well be done and dusted and back to the other business. Which is just as important to them.
Hi everyone!
This is my team and could you please suggest me that I’ve 2FT, still left all 3 chips.
3 ManU players and 3 wolves players are in my squad already for GW32.
So, should I consider to use Free Hit in this GW31?
I would like to know that 2 FT will be gone for GW32 if I play Free Hit in GW31?
Yeah I reckon you have to play FH this week really. More based upon what you already have for next week which seems to be 11 potential doublers plus the 4 without, 3 of which are Liverpool, so we’ll stacked for that one already.
And yes you’ll lose a FT once you’ve played it. And no you can’t use them now and have those players pop back up for 33, before you ask
If I make 2FT first and confirmed the team, then I use FH for GW31.
It’s possible?
2FT can be effected on GW32?
No. You’ll only have one for gw32. It works like a wildcard
Arnie will be coming in for Aguero. Anything else worth a -8.
Thanks either I look good or bad judging by the comments lol
Not sure anyone wants to be responsible for pushing you over a cliff. I reckon I’d settle on what you have there Smash.
Sorry, Smash. I did look at your team but really wasn’t sure. Are you happy with 8? You have all the key names. A Hammers defender would be the only other thing I’d be looking at I think.
Ha ha think I’ll put Arnie in and go with 9.
Yep, he’s probably a better option for a hit tbh
Can you afford a CHE defender maybe?
Probably not, I’m guessing.
Pogba to someone maybe? (Mane/Fraser/Siggy)
Might sound weird, but I would go with 8 (not a fan of Arnie for a -4).
He may have HUD next but he then has CHE(A).
