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.

Sarri asked via Chelsea TV after the game yesterday if Higuain will be ready.
Sarri replied “Oh I think so he had a stomach ache and a fever but no injury so I think and I hope he will be available”
He sounded relaxed and confident he will be okay for the Everton match.

Ryan Fraser picked up a knock during the win over Huddersfield which caused him to miss sessions earlier in the week. “But he should be okay [to face Newcastle].” #AFCB
Both should be fine.
Latest free hit team, any changes you would make or does this team have the highest possible points potential? Don’t think any of my ML rivals are using their FH this week so looking to gain as much ground as possible on them.
Thanks!
Looks good, other than Anderson who I have lost faith in. But that is just me. Brought in Fraser. All the best!
Does Arnie start over Chico ?
So this is me for this Game week.
Let’s hope Salah remembers how to play football again!
Might swap in Digne for Schindler actually
Yeah do that
Mane is the form guy for that TC chip.
You maybe right but at some point Salah is gonna wake up and I’m banking on that being Sunday
We have ‘Uddersfield at home for the TC.
When they’re all rested for the impending semi final in the CL?
3 days later you have CL so defo resting going on there
Guys this is my lot. Best of luck everyone.
Good luck mum.
Ha no bother son.
Evening all
Am I set for GW31?
Yes. How many hits did that take? Pig in shit springs to mind……
-8 😉
Higuain or Wilson ?
Wilson probably! Although I have both. Slightly concerned about Higuain’s illness and Giroud’s midweek hat-trick
Yeah, i’m leaning Wilson.
Wilson for sure.
