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!

Evening all, this is my lot at the mo. Using BB and have done Erik/Troy to Moura/Bobby for a -4, look ok ? Could do Duffy to Cathcart for a -8 but is it worth it ?
No it’s not worth it.
Fine as you are. Just pleased for you that you’ve survived this far into the night 😉
Cheers mate.
Hi Elle. My team is literally the same as yours. I too have the Deeney issue. Have you looked at other combos? Part of me has this madness to switch Salah to Sterling for this week and then bring him back. I say this as Liverpool may field a weaker but strong enough team to beat Cardiff. But Salah might not be in for the whole game if they start winning comfortably. Sterling on the other hand could smash both games. Headache! The other move I’d do then is Deeney to Wilson.
Neilos, transfers already done. See below aswell.
Cheers buddy.
Evening
This worth -4 and play BB.
Duffy and Deeney to Kiko and Wilson.
Plan would be to TC on Mane or Salah next week (Salah coming in for Eriksen)
Yep
Yep.
I’m stuck on this, can’t seem to make it work without touching the midfield. Is my only option to KDB to one of the Silvas?
Can’t you get the ultra-cheapo Long as striker 3?
Llorente instead of Rondon is worth a thought.
Llorente + Long works! I imagine LLorente is expected to play most league games?
I can’t answer that with any certainty but he’s not a bad shout as his side needs to keep winning, CL semi or not.
Pleased to hear you’re home with the side.
Can afford Foster instead of Gunn as well! Thanks for the help.
Righty-Hoot, i have 2 teams, both pretty similar. So in one i’ve done a -4 and BBed. In the other i’ve benched the Brighton boys and Troy and TCed Kun. So lets see what happens when the gw is over.
Feels like a Site Team reenactment but with both possible scenarios in play. Be interesting to see which one plays out better. Won’t know that until after the reverse has happened as well of course.
Anyone TCing Jimenez? Am I mad to do so? Need to move up the rankings…
Any better choice?
Thanks
On paper Wolves’ fixtures are good, and he’s been very good this season. So it’s not the worst of punts. You can come here and have a good blub if it goes wrong. I’m captaining him – more conventionally – and we can have a quiet little cry together next week if it goes wrong.
I think we’ll be laughing, Kralin. Positive thinking. Wolves need to get over the disappointment of the FA cup and consolidate their status as best of the rest. *fingers crossed*
Yes, fingers crossed. Very nice fixtures – a paranoid Brighton and leaky Arsenal – and you’d think he’ll get 180 minutes.
You’ll be in the minority with that but if it works out then… oooof! And that’s certainly not to dissuade you, I like it, the balls and all. Are you chasing in a ML? I’m heavily chasing in my main one and so I’m considering something equally ballsy as a boom or bust move.
I am chasing. In fact I’m 80 points behind. Don’t think I’m going to be able to make up all those points in the few weeks we have left but I’ve gotta try and go for s differential. The leader doesn’t have Jimenez.
Hi guys massive disappointment with wc team I’m guessing a lot feel the same. So I was once leading now chasing my mini league by about 18 points because of last weeks bad bad points tally . Had a look at site teams decisions and weighing it up. My rival Also used his wc. Any advice please. I’m feeling a -4 and rolling the bb as planned not sure on rivals plans but he has bb and tc left same as me so this could be the cruncher in trying to beat him. I’ll upload my current team first and his after. Any advice please welcome
Wait the upload went wrong. His team is top mine is bottom pic
Not a fat lot in it. Salah and Son could roll it in your favour big time though. What’s your -4 plan?
Thanks for looking init. You don’t understand I’ve been trying to win this mini league for 10 years lol always come up short. My best shot this year and I’m shitting it cos of last week.
Well as it stands Deeney out for Wilson or grey.
dunk out for kiko or kolasinac. Funds restrict me. If I go for Wilson kiko leaves me 0.6 itb. Grey allows kolasinac for better cs material.
Really worried that he has sterling thou. And he will gain more. Captain choice this well no idea. I’d have to go son I think hoping he plays both and he don’t have son. But that just done me over captain him game week just gone
Sorry mate lots of info just worried I’ve lost the league lol
To complicate matters stick Mane in for Erik as a place holder (next week’s move) and that leaves what for this week?
