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.

0.7 itb, fh active. Will probably bring in Robbo for TAA.
Rondon or Arnie? Anything else worth doing to my squad?
Think that’s pretty much how I’d set up a free hit team. Maybe Maguire as Burnley are weak from set pieces
Yup me too, my non free team is only 3 players different… problem is 2 of that 3 are Mane and Arnie!! Eek!!
Yep not having Mane is a bit of a pain in the ass
Think I am set
Unless you guys can suggest anything else
Yes looks good . I guess you don’t have 0.2 to get Boruc?
No can’t afford him wafflez
What is up with Fraser and how serious is it? Was going to use my ft to swap him in for Maddison or even Pogba.
Don’t think there is much in it. I believed he trained today
Apparently he was kicked around a lot against Huddersfield so didn’t train earlier in the week. Bournemouth’s twitter put a ‘tick’ next to his name as in he’s fit to play.
Also, Brooks has fatigue issues Howe suggests are ongoing, Stanislas is out and Ibe didn’t even feature in the 18 last week, so I’d imagine he plays!
All you free hitters out there, what does your FH-team look like?
Exactly the same as everybody else’s, regardless of whether they even used FH :big-lol:
#I’llgetmecoat
So true that!
Evening all. I plan on riding out this week, FH GW32, ride out GW33 and WC GW34. With that in mind, who else should I add to this lot with 1 FT and 1.5 ITB? I’ll lose a shitload of value in Jimenez if I let him go. Not sure whether to let that alter the decision. Thanks.
Looks good enough already but kola to pereira maybe?
Thanks Allan. With Man U definitely out on GW 33 I was thinking Pogba was an obvious one to lose. Although I’ll lose a fair amount of value in him too. Hmmm.
How about losing AWB and doubling up on West Ham defence? Then transfer Pogba out for GW33
Yea could work. Although if I’m losing Pogba anyway then I could do it this week and have any midfielder instead of a west ham defender.
Jimenez to Wilson or Pogba to Fraser? Same quandary myself about Jimenez & loosing the cash. I would not use your fh on a defender though as I think more potential of points from a mid/forward.
Thanks Seren. Yea I’m really torn with losing Jimenez. I bought him at 5.5 and I’ll almost definitely want him back when I wildcard, so not sure if it’s worth losing all that value to have Wilson for 2 GWs. Similar with Pogba, but not as extreme. I bought him at 8.1 and there’s a decent chance I’d take him back too. Really don’t know what’s best.
Evening all
I’m thinking of TCing Salah this week.
I don’t see many great options for TC on single GW’s.
Anyone else thinking of doing the same?
Risky on his form I’d say.
Hey Banjo. How are you mate? You going to Wembley later this month?
Hello mate. Yea I’m going. Don’t care about all this boycott stuff. It’s a day out at Wembley to watch Pompey! You? Seems it’s the playoffs for us now.
Mackems aren’t boycotting it either. They’ve sold 38000 already. I havent got my ticket yet but will do. Should be a belter of an atmosphere! All fans and few corporates. And a bit of a laugh. After all who proudly celebrates winning the Paint Pot trophy? Haha
You might wanna hurry up! I think the mackems have sold out now – and we can’t be far off. We might get another Wembley day out a couple of months after!
Could pay off big time!
TC-ing Salah after the last 10 shite weeks? So he has to do in 1 gw what he did in the past 10? Good luck with that. Hehe. :p
Where does this faith come from?
