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.

Lacazette or Antonio on a FH?
I saw Auba in your starting XI and Lingard on the bench, so probably Antonio. It could go either way though.
Yeah but also has Son so expecting Lingard to play
That’s also true. I genuinely think that the hammers are currently better than Arsenal, so it’s 51 to 49 in Antonio’s favour for me.
Might just stick with the home side
Maupay 😉
Could not bring myself to do it in the end. I came close
I posted my RMT on the wrong thread. Anyway…
I was hoping for some more clarity from the pressers but things got worse, I think. I have TC & FH available and 2 FT & 2 M.
My initial plan was to do 2/3 transfers and go with whatever I have, as I wanted to save my FH for GW33 (mainly because I see BGW29 as a low scoring one and because I have no idea where the points will come from). However, as the deadline is approaching, I get more confused and still have no idea what to do here…
Which option would you choose:
1) FH
2) Salah & DCL to Lingard & Kane (initial plan)
3) Son & DCL to Lingard & Kane
4) Salah, Son & DCL to Lingard, Bale & Kane (-4)
5) Son, DCL & Pereira to Lingard, Kane & Dunk
6) Other suggestion.
These are the ones that I am currently looking at.
Thanks all!
For me you fall in the middle of FH or not. My reasoning for all that is on here. Otherwise option 1
You know my trouble with the FH. That’s my FH draft (I might tweak it a bit if I actually decided to go with it but that’s pretty much it, more or less).
I still have 4 M ITB, don’t know who to start and those lot don’t excite me, as I have ZERO gut feeling lol
I simply cannot play the FPL without overcomplicating it…
Hey guys,
Which gameweek do you think the Everton vs Villa and Spurs v Southampton games will be rescheduled for?
There is a chance for 32/35/37 IMO.
Was there a presser from Arsenal today?
Only limited comments so not really
This was it
A bit off topic. A number of folks with a WC left have been indicating that GW31 is the week to go. Has anyone been scoping out the players they would bring in on a WC?
Swirly posted this (I took a screenshot as I thought I might need it later but I don’t remember which thread it was) and I think you might find it beneficial.
Tornado (and Swirly),
Thanks very, very much for this. Like Swirly, I still have my WC and BB (no great planning), and the suggestions from Ben Crellin and Swirly about GW34/35 are intriguing.
Hi guys haven’t been on in some time. Help with my team be great. I’m currently 3rd in mini league with a wildcard bench boost and tc to use. Obviously this week isn’t great and I’m not going to worry to much making -4. My thinking was either Foden or gundogan out for lingard. Not sure on which to get rid. As pep keeps rotating. 1 Of them has to go this week. I do intend to bring Mahrez in as he’s in form for who I don’t know yet. Might go 352.
If I plan this right I could really cause problems for the 2 above me and that’s my intention. Anyone knowing when they are using wc bb or tc
Thanks guys
If I had those chips left I’d have probably gone for WC31, BB32 and TC whenever Spurs have their doubles.
Foden to Lingard makes sense to me, maybe Lowton to a playing DEF this week as well who has a decent GW30?
