FF247 FPL Team GW29
Man City deliver, but…
It’s just as well they can as no other f*cker did! Or at least that’s how it felt last week. We won’t be alone in that feeling, it was just one of those weeks where the top players simply seemed to take one off, collectively.
To be fair to DCL (goal) and Watkins (assist), they did at least try. Problem was that the City lads got us 18 out of our 48 points, those two included took it to 29 from four of our eleven players, the other seven therefore accounted for… 19. Wonderful!
All that moaning aside, we were five above the average and it cost us a small slip of about 2k in rank, down to 408,682nd.
Our GW28 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided…
Our GW29 Transfer(s)
It was felt amongst the committee that no-one was fall-down excited by this gameweek and probably summed up by the fact we had two transfers and for a while it was realistic that we may not have even used both! Before transfers were considered we lined up with 7 players – if Son was OK (he won’t be, so count 6 and more on that to come) – and therefore could have had 8 or 9 starters for free.
A couple of weeks ago we did forecast that we would be happy with 8 or 9 for this one, as gone is the Free Hit, and although the early indications seemed to be Lowton to Dallas, everyone went off to find the magical FPL GW29 crypt, which was probably staring us all in the face. But that we couldn’t see for the dreariness…. and we reconvened some hours later and nothing much had changed.
Not strictly true, we realised we were unlikely to have Son so we could have the option of the security of Bale starting against Villa. We could afford this move. Just! So we did it. Then Spurs got knocked out of Europe in a farce of a second leg for the size of their club (with a 2-0 first leg lead no less). Bale played 60 minutes having being subbed on and is probably already thinking about his next 18 holes.
Anyhow, we “hope there will be a reaction”, “back to business” blah blah blah….. this Sunday.
Somehow this week already feels bleaker and we haven’t even started.
To confirm then we have SOLD MATTHEW LOWTON & HEUNG-MIN SON and BOUGHT STUART DALLAS & GARETH BALE
Captain – HARRY KANE
The best remaining player this week and we own him, hardly many alternatives. The next best seemed to be Raphinha – so he’s our vice.

Not much has changed all week for me as with the article. Think this is me just not sure on starting 11. Might play Martinez over Sanchez as Veltman likely to come in for Son. Or to leave it and swap Lingard with Veltman In sub positions
Looks good to go mate. I’m punting on Auba cappo, just hope he starts …
Yeah could be gold. Oh i bumped Lingard to first sub too
Don’t fancy Tierney over Dallas or Cresswell? I reckon both Leeds and WH concede, probably Arsenal as well but less chance imo
No clean sheets in 10 for Arsenal and I think Creswell could get attacking return. Fulham struggle to score goals and I think Dallas could be in midfield that’s my reasoning. Though I must admit the games are difficult to call
Play Sanchez as you have it. You are capping Kane anyway and hoping he does good.
Yeah Martinez could burn is the only issue I think. That’s the only base not covered I think. That and it’s a bit West Ham heavy
Looks good as is.
Sterling for Bale or Lingard?, I’m not sure what to do
Not looking forward to this weird mickey mouse GW with only 4 games in it.
Already used the FT to bring in Antonio. Do I have enough players or shuld I take a hit? Maybe something like Gundo↔Lingard or…….
2.4 ITB
Should be ok with 8, I imagine that’ll be about the average.
Thanks Init, I might just bite the bullet and give it a miss.
Please help
I have 1 FT and 2.7 in bank
Also i have WC available can i use it ?
If i will use it whom to get instead of whom
Or -4 hit getting Lingard and Watkins istead of Grealish and DCL ??
I would use that 1FT and get in Lingard. Don’t use a WC to get a team just for a blank GW.
Difficult I’d prob just go DCL to Antonio. Grealish could feature
Hi All. Just did Lowton to Dallas with my free transfer. Have 1m in the bank. Good to go?
Sorry wrong screenshot
Is it worth bringing in Lingard for Son for a hit?
FTx2
ITB: 3m
Ok, considering the following:
a)fernandes+Gundo->Auba+Lindgard
b)fernandes+Gundo->Auba+Raphina
c)fernandes+Cancelo->Auba+Dunk
d)fernandes+Cancelo+McCarthy->Auba+Dunk+Martinez for 4ph
What is the best option? Any others?
Advice please. Most probably go vice on Auba.
E) Son and Cancelo to Auba & Dunk
so we definitely reckon Son will be a no show this weekend then?
Nothing concrete at all. He’s a major doubt but has been named in South Korea squad so it’s all guess work
So ditch, or leave in?
If I want Auba + Dunk, I either ditch Son or Fernandes. Ditching Son means if there is a slight chance he plays, i could miss out on points, but if he doesnt, i could have got rid. But ditching Fernandes I will lose some value when I bring him back on WC (whether its gw30 or gw31).
What would you do Smash?
