FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW35
Welcome to FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW35.
It’s all in the math(s).
Like many others we played our wildcard last week and like many others we had an absolute SHOCKER! With no representatives in the Friday night game our game-week kicked off at lunchtime on Saturday. The writing was on the wall when our captain, Son, was benched. A certain member of the management was rather smug about this. Son eventually climbed off of the bench and almost immediately picked up an assist to go with Eriksen’s assist and Loris’ clean sheet. 20pts from our Spurs trio left us feeling good about our wildcard. Little did we know that they would account for approximately 60% of our total score. We were lucky that Messer’s Duffy & Dunk didn’t score minus points as Brighton conceded 5. Matt Doherty also returned zero points. The only other player who delivered for us over the weekend was Mo Salah. Onto Monday night and things got even worse. Fresh from setting light to the Notre Dame cathedral Troy Deeney went and got himself sent off at Arsenal. Our game-week came to a conclusion on Tuesday night as Brighton were beaten 2-0 at home by Cardiff which meant the Double D’s picked up 1pt each over their two games. Losers! We finished the game-week on 33pts and a red arrow of 5k to leave us in 11,785th position. It’s time to dust ourselves down and attack DGW35 with vengeance.
Last weeks disaster in glorious technicolor;
This week’s transfer – we have held our Free Transfer, cancelled Bench Boost and have activated our Triple Captain
Duffy, Dunk, Deeney. That’s our outfield bench for this week’s planned Bench Boost. The original plan was to sell Dunk for a Saint. However, Deeney’s moment of stupidity meant a hit for the Saint and we felt that wasn’t really worth it.
Which would have left us with a bench of Foster/Lloris, Dunk, Duffy & a Deeney replacement (likely Wilson).
It was a long meeting and akin to Brexit we entered it not really knowing where we were going or what we were hoping to achieve.
The DGW maths equation was ‘applied’ but argued over. Were we starting with a base of 14pts (7 matches x 2 appearance points) or were Dunk & Duffy likely to record next to nothing once again? Much really depended on Wilson.
We had one member actively pushing to delay BB (we’ll call him Theresa) another wanting to push the button (we’ll call him Nigel) while the remaining two members were seemingly stuck sat on the fence, chewing the fat, smoking a couple of cigarettes, putting the world to rights, understanding both sides of the argument but ultimately getting nowhere and going round in FPL circles (we’ll call these two the Fencers).
We also had two members (Theresa & Fencer 1) suggesting using TC this week.
Nigel appeared shouting ‘Bench Boost means Bench Boost’ then disappeared.
Like any forward thinking and inspirational Brexit negotiator would do, a compromise was suggested. Fencer 2 (who was loosely advocating delaying BB and using TC in GW36) suggested he would agree to the TC in 35 with a view to a longer delay in BB, possibly until GW38 or whenever a majority vote could be passed.
Saints home to Huddersfield in GW38 does present a potentially better opportunity for BB though we’d need to be lucky with team sheets.
Ultimately we have done what we have done due to the weakness of our outfield bench. We would have been happy to have continued with our plan of Dunk to a Saint but Deeney scuppered that and meant that no real solution is ideal.
We are not advocating not BBing – every team is different and you all have your different aims and mini-league situations.
Our Triple Captain is Aguero
All should be clear from the above. Our sudden liking for Kun comes from City now being 100% focused on the league and the general feeling that they will need to beat both Spurs & Manchester United if they are to win the league. Pep plays his big players in the big matches and this is a huge week for City. Just in case, our vice captain is Son. Who plays Brighton. Can’t fail!

Morning gent and ladies. Here’s were my team is now after a -4. The question is simple, should I BB or TC?
Salah is coming in for sterling next weekend, hed be TC then if not used now. My bench is a tad weak though??
Sorry
Think I’d say TC. I believe Torreira is a doubt as well. BB will have to be used when Brighton host Newcastle I think
Cheers smash, could ship over dunk as well.
Gavy, sorry but you need to rethink your plans in my opinion.
No way would I be selling Sterling at this stage of the season and esp given City’s focus is 100% on the league.
But Salah against Huddersfield?? Pool games are all must wins too, could do son to mane instead?
Yeah I second what Cookie said. No way I’m selling Sterling. Sure Salah is a must vs Hudds but Sterling has Burnley so TC on him is not a bad shout either! You’re looking at shipping Pogba and Son next week to get Salah imo, so that’s a hit right there so avoid taking more in this one. I’d leave as is and play the BB in order to TC in gw36.
Morning
How important is this GW to your ML? Are you happy with your team? Is there one player you want but you can’t have?
Have you decided your capo?
This is currently my team, I’m hoping for a massive haul!
Looks good. Aguero over Sterling?
Yep it could well be sterling before the deadline passes! Even considering jiminez!
With city out of the cl can’t see why sterling won’t start both games, these are potentially the league winning games for city. I have tced sterling, yet I hope city lose of these lol
Yes, it’s weird isn’t it. I’m wondering that the reason I’ve not captained Aguero is simply down to the fact I don’t want City to win. Which I know is not the way to play the game (with the heart).
But for all that, I hope Kun or Sterling get people lots of points – via a high-scoring draw.
I’d like Deeney to be playing.
I was considering him until his red card!
Hi Mitro – so many questions! Is this a quiz or something? :))
ML is in the bag, I’m happy with my BB team and the players I’d like to own and don’t is Mo Salah! I sense a Hattie for him this week.
Don’t echo such fears…
Hi All,
Looking for some advice on the below team please. Have 1 FT and 0.5 ITB.
My original plan was to bring in Laca for Vardy and BB. Should I still go ahead or possibly take a -4 and bring Masina in for Duffy as well?
Otherwise I could TC Aguero
Thanks guys
I did vardy to laca if that helps! I did also consider firmino and Wilson.
I think a -4 in a DGW is worth it!
Cheers Mitro, I’m kinda set on Laca really its just between BB and TC now!
Tough one and it could go either way, I am using the BB chip!
Moroni guys
I have 1FT and 0.5m in the bank.
Not sure whether to BB or TC with this team? Any advice please?
Deeney to gray if your bench boosting, TC kun os also a safe more
Morning all,
Hoping for some last minute advice. I was planning on bench boosting but with two Brighton now and Wilson in for Deeney it doesn’t look so great. Here are is my extensive list of questions :
1) BB as it is?
2) Dunk to Yoshida (-4) then BB?
3) Dunk to Kiko (-4) then hope Salah drops 0.1m (if I am to bring him in for GW36).
4) no BB and TC Aguero saving the BB for when Brighton play Newcastle (still don’t trust Brighton then)
5) bring in sterling (-4) then TC him
Think I’ve over thought this?…
Thanks all!
Can anyone help? Plsss
I’d just play BB mate. You clearly planned to and would be gutted if it pulls in the points. That’s my thought process anyway and I have 3 Brighton defenders
This is me.
Best of luck all. Makes it exciting when the site divides on something. Whichever comes out on top – BB/TC – there was never a right or wrong answer.
Well, maybe TC, if it works 😉
Best of luck. That’s a mean looking team.
Agree about the differences. Hopefully all of us will be giddy with success later.
Cheers Kralin. Still not 100% on Aguero but it’s all just gut and guesswork now.
