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.

Any news on Son, Grealish, and Bambam? Too risky to have all three in a FH team?!
All 3 is a bit much imo
Think Bamford plays. I decided can carry the risk on either Son or Grealish but not both
I have Bambam and Grealish in mine. Bamford is the starting 11 and Grealish on the bench. Can you look at 34? Could use a hand with the starting 11
Hey all,
Should I stick with this FH team?
Tempted to take a gamble on grealish for trossard. And put bamford 1st sub or even swap bam for antonio
Yep, looks loaded.
Very well set.
Dont bother with grealish then and leave bamford where he is?
It’s likely Laco or Auba that starts but one as a sub coming in still seems a good option considering the alternatives.
Hi all,
Been very busy at work and havent had any time to think about FPL, can someone attempt to save my gw!
Same as my last answer to someone else!
If that was mine it’d be Saka to Lingard and Dunk in for whoever makes that work.
Is Saka confirmed not to be playing?
Do you Think he won’t start?
Not confirmed but sounds unlikely.
Reckon i should take out one of my only playing?
FH team. Do I start Grealish or leave him 1st sub. And if so who do I I drop?
Surely you Chuck him in there. Probably for Lingard.
Cheers man. Worth the punt
Hi all. Am I all set? Taking a punt on Trossard, have enough in the bank to get Son back in. Not convinced he’ll play this week and but I’m also not full of confidence in Bale as Spurs were poor last night following a bad performance in the NLD.
Moura or Alli instead of Trossard if you feel a but Spurs light?
I’m in a hole here! I don’t have a WC or FH and it looks as though Son and Saka will miss out which will leave me with 5 players and 1FT! Happy to take a hit so I can stretch to 7 players this week! My initial plan was Bamford but I haven’t seen whether he is fit or not? Thoughts?
I am hoping saka will play
I think two trasfers even at -4 would be more than enough. More than that and we’re overreaching I think.
DCL to Lacazette or Bamford (think is OK) for one maybe?
