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.

Hi all! Any recommendations for my team this week? Deulofeu over Rashford? …Gunn or Foster in goal? …Mane or a City player player as captain?
Managed to narrow the gap in my ML’s down from 100+ to 25-30 so really wanna push hard over last few weeks, any transfers I should be looking at? 1ft 0itb
Cheers
No obvious transfer I can see…better to save the FT so that you can plan next week.
(1) Foster+Jimenez = 8 points combo… so I turned to SOU def. instead of WAT, though I am not confident….but as a chaser, trying my luck. I am hoping for a 2-2 kind of scoreline for WAT-WOL. Its a fight for 7th spot and Europa League Qualification – so expecting both teams to go for it. On the other hand BOU has nothing to play for, Brighton needs a win to be safer.
(2) I probably will choose Deulo over Rashford as you have done – reason point 1 above.
(3) Why Aguero (C) and not Mane? As every Pool player has been a popular (C) choice this week. Its a big punt considering form of Aguero. Why not Sterling if you want a punt?
Sorry not Brighton, but Southampton..a win will take them to 40 (boundary of safe zone).
Pogba to Siggy could be an interesting punt.
Good to go? I’m thinking I’ll carry my FT into next week…
Good to go :thumbup:
Cheers Brooky. Was considering sticking Gray on the bench and asking JWP to get warmed up and get on the pitch.
Feel like there is a definite lack of Pool coverage. Can you get TAA or Firminho in?
Cheers Benny. With £0m ITB the only option is Alderweireld to TAA. Given he was rested before the last CL game I guess that’s not a bad move, but it feels a bit sideways.
Hi All,
Very happy with 124 pts with my BB last week, and playing my TC this week. Any suggestions? Not sure whether I should start Lorente over Jota/Jimi. Got 0.1 itb and 1 FT.
Cheers
I’d start Duffy over Jonny.In fact i am ! Probably start Jota over Llorente.
Are you all happy with your chip stratergy or would you do it different if you knew what you know now?
Pretty happy with mine.
Build for 32.
free hit in 31,
TC aguero in 32, didn’t really work out beacuse of injury but it was the right thing to do. Still got 10×3…
Played with 9 players in 33, got 54 points (18 over average) so it turned out ok
Wildcard in 34
BB in 35
Don’t really know if I would change anything. I guess its a matter of luck too. Seems like alot of players cancelled their BB due to suspensions and injuries…
Yeah I’d do it pretty much the same, although my FH chip was a disaster but that was due to bad luck (I insist
), got a huge green arrow with my BB, could get a huge green arrow with TC this week, WC has worked well thus far, I was 600K OR before I started playing the chips (in GW32) and now I’ve climbed to 300K OR thanks to the chips (I think)
BB was a success for me too, 115 points and got 109 on my TC week. A pretty good end to a terrible season…
I mean 125 on BB..
Two SUPER simple questions….
1) TC Mane (home record) or Salah (is there a higher ceiling/back in some kind of form)?
2) Play Duffy, Valery or Yoshida? (conscious if I play Valery or Yoshida it is against Wilson…)
Thanks!
Also read that Newcastle have conceded the 2nd most chances from set plays – could boost Duffy appeal?
1) TC Salah (the odds should be slightly in his favor although it’s very close)
2) Duffy (cause you have Wilson and like you say Newcastle defend set pieces quite badly)
Thanks Zed. I think I agree.
Will be a killer if Southampton keep a cleanie!
Who would you start between JWP and llorente?
hey danny. same question i asked myself yesterday. i went with JWP over llorente as he is a definite starter for southampton each game. llorente is a risk, especially with son not playing in the CL midweek. gut says he will be on the bench with moura and son in the starting lineup.
JWP
