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…

Evening,
What a day!
What I miss?
Good to go? Going with my heart with my captain choice this week :drinks:
I bring in your captain for Mo next week. Looks good.
looks good. No real standout captain this week so could end up working really well
Hey. Am I set?
Looks good, Raz
Tnx mate. 😉
Yep. Although you’ll probably be told to switch subs 1 & 2.
Ranging is pretty ace but you might be right.
Ranging is Raphina…bloody spell corrector.
Got in time for deadline Raz. Very very good team. Nice Gundog + KDB combo.
Yeah, got rid of umm Cancelo. Lol.
2FT’s 0.2 ITB
Currently got 6 players for next week and no FH so aiming for 8/9. looking at
Barnes to Saka/ Lingard
Bruno/ Salah to Bale/ Son (not actually sure about these but seem to be popular moves)
Get rid of Barnes as he’s definitely out. and to avoid waiting a ft.
Barnes to Lingard now and then sleep on the others.
+1
Selling Bruno? Then Salah. Barnes yo Lingard is a good option. Best United player next to Bruno. :big_boss:
Yeah I think my actual plan will be to take out Stones or Cancelo next week then bring in KDB for Salah the week after. I see a lot taking Salah out this week for son/bale which is pretty worrying but i actually don’t seen many goals in the game.
cheers guys, Barnes to Lingard it is :good:
Hey guys, am I good to go? Would you play Raphina over Bamford. Taking a punt on Spurs by tripling up for the next 3 games before I WC. Cheers
I would but just because I think he is the better player. However, from FPL point of view, it’d be wiser (probably) to go with Bam due to his high ownership.
I went bamford solely for penalties but there’s but much in it.
Bamford, just more likely to score. In theory.
I had the same quandary and I’m going with Bamford as there’s the ownership as the deciding factor for me.
Alright, here we go again!
I think I might get away without using my FH in 29. I have 2 FTs and 1.4 ITB. At one point Salah was on my bench, that’s how lost I am lol
Was thinking of Salah and DCL to Lingard and Kane and play 5-3-2 or just do one transfer now and leave those 2 for next week…
Who has a good a fixture now and plays in 29?
Maybe do Stones to say a Brighton defender in prep and then carry the other two over and decide then.
That’s said I’d like Kane in now but I also fancy DCL vs Burnley.
Thanks init! That’s the move I am considering now but it’s more of a conservative move which will reduce my benching headache this week. Selling Stones ahead of Fulham seems crazy but it is the easy move to be done.
You know what, with the defenders you’ve got this week, 5-3-2 isn’t the worst idea. If possible, I’d keep Salah but I can’t see any other way of getting Kane in. I would be tempted to keep DCL for one more week though, with his game this week.
Thanks Swirly! Ikr!? I quite like the 5-3-2 but this means dropping Salah and DCL for Kane & Lingard who cannot play. I know Kane could score 1, even 2, but so do Salah and DCL. So tough…
It is tough! I do like Init’s suggestion above though.
