FF247 FPL Team GW30
Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW30
Remember FPL?
A week is a long time in politics. And in football, well times that by a billion for an FPL gameweek. That’s BEFORE we factor in that it’s an international break. AND we’re off the back of a woeful gameweek with only four fixtures.
We can forgive ourselves for putting FPL to the back of our minds for a bit. However, we are now approaching GW30 and before we discuss that, we must look all the way back to GW29 to see how good/bad/indifferent it was for us.
We scored 39 points and the average was 25. That’s all right we suppose. Although we did have Gareth Bale who didn’t play and no sub to replace him (great!). That might put a bit of positive spin on it we guess. But it was a red arrow regrettably – from 408,682 to 433,614 – and our second red arrow in a row. Eek!
The only winners for us were our captain Harry Kane (14) and a midfield duo of Lingard and Raphinha collectively landing 20 points. Nothing else to write home about.
Our GW29 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided this week with 1 FT and £0.0 ITB…
Our GW30 Transfer(s)
Disagreement?
Looking at our team, at least initially, the argument was rather more who to bench than who to transfer in. And we had settled on that as an argument, not expecting a further argument about transfers. It was argument itself, and needed no further argument, other than the argument that was to follow…
Having settled the argument that there was no argument and that there really was no point in even arguing about the bench order given that there was an argument in favour of all suggestions, and an argument against them all too… until some d*ck mentioned Azpi!
The argument for Azpi was simply that we had too much Man City coverage and that Chelsea had great fixtures coming up. Having ‘too much’ Man City may seem like an oxymoron but with the league more or less won and a big CL tie or two in the offing it is a valid argument.
And to be fair it got little argument.
Which one to cull though? Cancelo is the sexy one to own, Dias much less so. We opted for the duller but more reliable one to stay.
As for the benching issue we had so many different combos we gave up arguing about it!
To confirm then we have SOLD Cancelo and BOUGHT Azpilicueta
Captain – Harry Kane
The undisputed champ is… Harry got all votes going, end of.

Play Coufal vs wol or Wan-Bissaka vs BHA?
Wan Bissaka
+1
AWB
Morning gang! I have 3.5itb and 1ft. Planning to play my WC next week. Which of the transfers would you do this week:
A) Cancelo to Alonso
B) Bale to Son
Alonso would be a punt against WBA, as for Bale questioning whether he is going to start after playing nearly mins in 2 out of the 3 internationals, whereas Son has rested. Full squad below.
Cheers
90*
Very close both Cancelo and Bale can be rested for their game, for 1 week punt I think I would go for Alonso as you also have Kane which can cover a bit for Son
Son
Anyone think it’s worth using my bench boost? As any double game week in future will use triple captain, was undecided about who to have in midfield so thought to do bench boost. Can even bring in Chelsea keeper for a 4 point hit? Any thoughts would be appreciated
Could well be, with Mendy in. Not so sure without him.
I don’t think I would here. I’m not confident on starts for Stones and Gundogan plus you need another Keeper for a -4
My wildcard team now.
Is the benching right?
Nice team Frenchie! With a team like that, benching is going to be a (very pleasant) headache each week! Vas-y mon gars tu vas cartonner! Go hard young Frenchie! Joyeuses pâques! 😉
Yes, all good
!
Here is me. I’m far from sure on the bench
Looks great, Smash. I think I’d play Gundo over one of the City defenders myself.
Agree with banjo.
Looking good otherwise Smash.
I’m not convinced he starts hence why he’s benched. Clocked up a lot of mins on international break and played weds with that
Smash, Rudiger played 3 full games for Germany as well.
So, you might end up with Konsa after all, which ain’t that bad.
I might play Konsa over one of them
Yeah Konsa over Cancelo.
Would be over Dias because of Cancelo potential upside.
Do we know just how fit Son is? I’m very tempted to captain him over Kane, what with Kane having played a couple of games over the IB. Crazy?
He’s fit. I personally think he will start. Captaining, could work, but I’m going Kane and I have both.
Not at all crazy.
He’s playing. He’s a good pick I think. Both are to be honest.
Kane won’t be being rested if that’s what you’re worried about.
Wasn’t so much worried about being rested. Was just wondering who would be more sharp.
None of us here can know that for sure.
He prob needed the rest I think. Fitness is always good
