FF247 FPL Team GW28
Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW28
The Invisible Man
We are sure many of you are familiar with the 80/20 rule of business; 20% of the effort for 80% of the results. Or some such iteration. This week we invented a new one for FPL, the 70/30 rule. To explain, we got 49 of our 70 points (70%) from 3 of our 11 players (circa 30%). But sometimes it’s just like that.
The 3 in question were Kane (19), Gundogan (20, C) and Bruno (10). No big surprises there then. Elsewhere our ‘power defence’ of Cancelo, Dias and Digne brought home 3 points, combined. Son at least got an assist but that was the highlight from the rest of the attackers as Watkins, DCL and Raphinha all got 2 each. Martinez did us proud as usual in goal with 7 but even he got trumped by his understudy Areola (8), but you’d have to have had some real special powers to see that one coming. Or perhaps just have watched Liverpool recently.
All in all the our 70 was 10 above average and meant the most modest of modest jumps in rank of about 2k to leave us at 402,245th. Any green is always welcome though and that is now 11 in 12 of those.
Our GW27 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided this week with £0.0m in the bank but 2 free transfers up our sleeve…
Our GW28 Transfer(s)
Blank GW29 is obviously looming and it would be folly of us to ignore it’s presence, especially as we currently only sport 6 players for it. But with 2 FTs spare, and 1 next week, it doesn’t overly concern us as we can quite easily stroll through it with 9 players, maybe even 10 if we take a hit next week. It’s not as if the fixtures are overly enticing for it anyway.
That said, it did focus our minds a bit as to how we would take said stroll. With a stricken Barnes on our bench that was an obvious starting point. The less obvious thing was his replacenet. The only real stand out candidate for us was Jesse Lingard. Who comes with a slightly inconvenient caveat in that he can’t actually play this week! The plan would of course be to simply stash him for future use.
The subject of a certain Mr Bale came up, certainly in terms of GW29 anyway. The issue there seems to be his price tag but we may have landed on a cunning plan, Mr Blackadder. Which, without boring you too much, or indeed comitting ourselves, seems to involve ‘Burning DCL in Valencia‘. Not literally of course, well… we hope so anyway. We shall leave you to read between the lines on that riddle but it shouldn’t be too difficult to unpack!
For now we have decided to simply bring in Jesse and keep him on ice, in perfect condition. A bit like Man Utd did. For West Ham.
To confirm then we have SOLD Barnes and BOUGHT Lingard
Captain – Harry Kane
This one was unanimous, a clean sweep of; Kane (c), Bruno (V) responses. When in form, etc…

Nice work and good score, the site team is shooting up the rankings like a spaceX rocket nowadays
What is the consensus around Cancelo and Gündo gametime vs Fulham?
My thinking is to keep Cancelo as he’s been rested, whereas it seems likely that Gündo might be rested for this one (e.g. to play in CL).
Not sure Gundogan tends to play every game. As for the rested stuff they have all been rotated recently so anything is possible. Cancelo I’m a bit concerned about as it’s more his place but he should in theory play
I am starting all Gundo, Stones and Cancelo before I sell the latter two next week. I hope they play and get me a CS as a parting gift.
Happy Friday everyone
So I have left my team as is to get 2FT next week..
What do you guys think and who is going for Bruno as Cappo??
Are there any changes you would recommend?
Should I use my FT at all?
TIA
G2G, I think. Capo is a personal choice/ gut feeling, etc, so go with whoever you feel will score the most points. I am on Bruno currently for what is worth.
Thanks Tornado
Yep defs a personal.choice..I have switched it twice already
Most people will start with Kane as captain so if you are chasing the pack Bruno is for me just a tiny bit better than Salah. though both seem to be very unpredictable.
Go completely differential and do Salah => Bale and captain Bale
Guys am I good to go here?
Yes. A bit random but why is Cancelo’s shirt in darker blue? :laugh2:
Good question…I thought the same
He just played half a game :mosking:
Hi Guys
Any help with my team please – much appreciated
1 FT & 1.8 ITB
(Was considering getting Bamford in)
Need to know the GW29 strategy really. I’d prob be looking at a Neco Williams replacement but if no FH I’d be saving. I’d play DCL and Shaw over Diagne/Rudiger and Saka
No FH – save FT?
I would play Shaw over Saka
Diagne against CRY or Bamford against Chelsea, i would stick to Diagne and have 2FT for the next round
Hi all,
Save the FT or Brewster to Watkins? I don’t have my FH for GW 29.
Who are you going to leave out if you transfer Watkins in to your team?
I would not use a transfer for a player to go on your bench with the blank gameweek 29 coming up
Probably bench a defender
Your 4 defenders are capable of keeping clean sheets this week.
I would wait and stick Veltman as first sub
Mr Go
You gotta fancy Watkins vs Newc to score
So I’d lose Brewster and get him in also plays 29
Play him ahead of Rudi as Leeds may nick a goal vs Chelsea
