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.

Here’s the FH….
Like it
Tripling up in attack on one team, not a fan of that.
Nice team GP! Would think about squeezing Dallas in there instead of Dunk. Feels like it spreads the risk, rather than having two brighton def and then another first on the bench.
Trossard or Lingard?
on a free hit I’d go Trossard, much easier fixture
Trossard for me, I think he’s been unlucky to not score more so far
Lingard likes scoring against Arsenal. I’m going for Lingard, can’t rely on Trossard
Thanks changed to Trossard because of the fixture and the triple West Ham felt a bit much
Where are you at now Smash? I’m here but it’s changing by the minute!
Ha pretty much what you have
Good luck to the site team!
Thoughts on what to do here? 2FTs and 5.9 itb
Have taken out bgw players for visualisation.
Kane and Sanchez imo.
Sanchez, spurs?
The keeper for Brighton. Brighton decent defence and good fixture.
yeah, makes sense – done.
shit… no I only did rapha and sanchez
Is Kane, Bale & Raphina doable?
hmm yes, but for whom hmm… I think Gundo goes out, DCL I’d like to keep but might not make sense avoid Kane..
Should clarify, I have no FH (was maybe obvious)
Is Bamford expected to start?
Yeah
Expected to. Doesn’t mean he actually will though!
Honestley the Fulham in me just made me bench my three Leeds players. Hoping for a cheeky 1-0 Fulham.
Presumably as a dirty protest and only for 3 with no game.
Otherwise get him out and give him a good slap!
haha are you saying you don’t trust the Fulham defence? Bamford couldn’t hit a barn door in the championship, I’m still struggling to understand how he’s been scoring in the Prem.
I was surprised too.
He reverted to type last week anyway, that’s for sure! Or the week before, rather.
Honestly I watched him fluff at least 3 sitters at the Cottage over two seasons; with much mirth.
You just know he’s getting a hatty tonight now!
Yeah I just popped him back in my team now I’ve jinxed it.
Also Lucas Moura vs Pepe as a punt?
This is me for this week. -4 for Dallas & Lingard, took out Mee & Son. Who would u start out of Areola & Martinez? Cheers
Areola, spreads the risk a bit with Konsa there already.
Martinez more likely to get bonus points
