FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW36
Welcome to FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW36.
“I tender my resignation….”
Oh dear, oh dear. What a shambles. We of course cancelled our proposed Bench Boost and opted instead to play our Triple Captain chip on Aguero. You know the rest. Kun contributed a mere single assist in 2 matches while Dunk & Duffy recorded a clean sheet apiece and came within a whisker of doubling that. At least it was Eriksen that broke Brighton hearts.
Overall we scored 91pts which in all honesty is hardly bad. It was still 24 above the overall average but it could and should have been triple figures and those opportunities don’t come around often. Had we followed our original plan and bought Wilson and then Bench Boosted we’d have landed on 107. Which is not untypical of how the gain looked overall for those who chose to TC vs those who went with BB. Lessons learned and all that…
We were saved late on by goals from Doherty & Jota. That was the highlight. There were too many underperformers to name and shame them all.
Despite a weekly rank of 416,343 we still lost a small amount of ground, falling to a season long rank of 12,518 from a previous 11,785.
But it’s now a Big Bench Boost week for us so anything is still possible, quite literally!
Last week’s team in full…
This week’s transfer – we have sold Eriksen & Deeney and bought Mané & Zaha. And we are (finally) playing our Bench Boost Chip 
You couldn’t make this up. We are nothing but reactionary. Having cancelled our Bench Boost last week we were running out of options of when to actually bother with it. The choice was realistically GW36 with our two Brighton defenders home to Newcastle or the lottery of GW38 when we could potentially load up on Saints at home to Huddersfield.
The committee meeting was a little dispirited – two members tried to resign, while another mumbled something about retirement. And the cold hearted one didn’t bat an eyelid and carried on as if nothing had happened.
With two free transfers in hand Mané and Mitrovic and the activation of Bench Boost was the opening suggestion from one of the potential quitters. Pérez was briefly mentioned as an alternative to Mitro but the opening motion was carried unanimously – it appeared that no-one had the balls or energy to argue.
So that was decided. Or so we thought.
However, a few hours later the other resignee pointed out that despite scoring from the spot last week, Mitrovic had previously gone 10 GW’s without scoring. Zaha was thrown up as an alternative.
We were now entering dangerous territory. It was this sort of last minute ambush that initiated our problems last week.
Worryingly, Zaha narrowly won the re-vote. Given our current state of decision making we recommend you all go out and buy Mitrovic! And avoid Zaha. And stick to your own plans
Later on we felt slightly better by Rosco tipping both Zaha & Perez in his article… and Mitrovic wasn’t mentioned. A good sign? Let’s hope so.
So Dunk & Duffy get another go. Gulp. A lovely looking home fixture vs a team that struggles on the road – what could possibly go wrong?
Our Captain for GW36 is Mo Salah. It was him or Mané and the Egyptian narrowly won that one. Mané is our vice captain in case Salah is still feeling the effects of the violent assault he suffered at Cardiff last week.

Morning guys! Playing my BB this week. Team A or Team B from below? Difference being Rash & Hojberg or Zaha & JWP! Utd have to turn up against Che and they have 2 good fixtures to end the season hence my thinking around keeping Rashford. Is it just too much of a punt? Help please!
Thanks
As you already have him i’d leave Rashford in with one eye on Uniteds last 2 fixtures.
What about option B and change Mane/Son > Pogba next week? Pool and Spurs will have UCL matches – might see some reduced minutes (not necessarily though).
Hey all,
This is what i have atm. I think I’ve given up on the idea of trying to bring salah in for a -4 and losing 2 of son eriksen and sterling.
How about duffy to matip for free to cover 2 Liverpool defenders? My H2H this week has VVD and robbo
I’d save your transfer there Hammers and start Duffy and Doherty.
Reply fail to Hammers above.Depends how important your H 2 H game is though i guess and how his team looks compared to yours.
He’s got this
Do you know what transfer he is likely to be doing ? Depends on what future moves you want to do and how important the H 2 H is ? But if its a must win then bring him in and cover yourself.Your front 7 are better than his.
Thanks Brooky
What happens if assigned (TC) does not play – will (VC) becomes the designated (TC) or, just (C)?
VC becomes your TC
Thank you. Now time to think whether to make Salah(TC) or anyone else or wait for next 2 GWs.
Morning all
Any help please?
I have 1 FT and 0.1 ITB
Probably roll your transfer there Branchy.
thanks – good to go ?
I’d play Jwp over Bennett.
best of luck site team with the BB this week.
Who would you play among these 2? duffy or doherty?
I’ve had to make the same decision. I can’t see Watford blanking at home so I went with Duffy.
Doherty scored midweek… so he might be coming back into form.
Duffy better cs potential Doherty better chance of an attacking return.I always favour home defence in these situations.
Duffy also has goal threat and I believe he has a goal due. First 19 matches, he scored 3 and 2 in next 16. Hence 1 is pending – very random logic.
Are you saying I should play Duffy over Doherty who hasn’t scored twice in a row all season? :woot:
Ok I just did it, what the heck, home team and all that, cheers! :thumbup:
nice logic goalmachine lol. lets hope newcastly play badly and i go with duffy then lol
hey all. thanks for the feedback. will make a final decision closer to time. i was slightly favouring doherty in regards to attacking return and feel newcastle will get at least a goal based on their decent form in the last few games.
