FF247 FPL Team GW31
Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW31
No case for the defence
We realise that it is the headline figure of the gameweek score which is the most important thing and not obivously the nuts and bolts of who did what within. Thankfully. Our defence was wickedly bad this past week. Martinez got 4 in goals thanks to six saves against Fulham and oh but for Tyrone Mings gifting Fulham their goal, we could have had a Martinez special.
The back three combined for THREE points – hindered by Azpilicueta’s Zero and *cough* ‘boosted’ by Dallas’ 2. Digne was Joe Average. Speaking of average, Gareth Bale has not often been called that but this past week, he was even sub-average with 1 measly point and DCL, whose form is off a cliff, at least got two.
Onto the good stuff!
In ascending order of fantasy brilliance we had Bruno Fernandes (5), Raphinha (6), Ollie Watkins (7), Jesephine Lingod (12) and Sir Harold of Kane with TWENTY SIX, albeit armband assisted. By one point, we called our captain correctly. Buzz-ing.
Our 66 gameweek score, 20 points above the average, shunted us up to 370,330 in the overall rankings and a green arrow. Very welcome indeed off the back of two consecutive reds. Go us!
Did we mention that Lingard was an autosub for Gundogan’s no-show? No? Good. Forget we said anything.
Moving on swiftly….
Our GW30 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided this week with our 1 free transfer…
Our GW31 Transfer(s)
We are all now of the opinion that if there were points given in FPL for footballers with a good golf handicap then we would have probably kept Gareth Bale and offered him the armband. But alas, no. We have no patience room for sentiment and we let go of the on-loan Real Madrid forward and put it down to one of those “for old time’s sake” moves. Much like when we all bought David Silva for last season’s GW38 send off and how we’ll probably buy and captain Sergio Aguero in 38 this.
Liverpool’s Diogo Jota comes in by the way, winning the first four votes in the poll. Unanimous.
To confirm then we have SOLD GARETH BALE and BOUGHT DIOGO JOTA
Captain – HARRY KANE
Two votes for Harry and two votes for Jota mean that the ‘C’ and ‘VC’ would be shared amongst them. The fifth vote went to Harry meaning that he takes the armband again – 13 points last time out – can hardly blame us.
Token gesture perhaps, but if worst happens, Jota picks up the slack as vice.

Good to go?
Should I play Martinez?
Should I play Neves? If so, for who?
Thanks.
I think you’re GTG, Banjo
You should be giving us advice! Or I should be giving you bad advice so I can catch you in the regs!!
Haha sabotage is afoot!!!
My ranking is only a reflection of the advice on here to be honest.
GTG?
Looks awful mate, red arrows incoming
Things have been going too good so a red is a definite hahah
Looks good, Matt. I’d probably sneak Watkins ahead of Shaw as first sub, but not much in it.
Here’s my draft for the wildcard. I’m pretty happy with it.
What do you lads think?
Bit unsure on Sterling and Smith Rowe but rest looks decent
Sterling’s a punt, not sure who else to try for Smith Rowe though to be honest
Smith Rowe is obviously a must with Sterling in there but jf you fancy the punt, best of luck with it mate! Hope it works
Looks different from the WCs I’m seeing, I like it! I assume Sterling (C)? If not I would!
I’m2nd in my league by 2 points. Winner gets 500 beans. So this could either go very well or horrendous!!
I dig your aggressive approach! Good luck pal!!
Thanks lads! Second guessing about sterling but I’ll see how it goes haha!
2 free transfers. Keeping one.
Raphimha to Mount or
Watkins to Iheanacha
any thoughts anyone?
leader of mini-league got Jota so want a differential
Bale needs to go. If you don’t want Jota then Mount could be good. If you’re feeling frisky a punt on Havertz or if you have the money get Sterling in and captain him. Personally I’d get Jota.
I’d say Raph to Jota as you have no Liverpool. If you don’t wanr Pool players then I would say Watkins out
thanks all. I have 2.0 ITB
I’d take a punt on Sterling! get Bale outta there!!
I know you wanted to save an Ft but could you afford Bale and Watkins to Salah and Nacho?
No. not enough funds for that, but ben convinced to get rid of Bale. SO WHO BEST TO GET?
Bale to Son for the double
Any help pls?
1FT & 3.5 ITB
Raph to Jota seems most obvious but you could save the Ft as your side isn’t bad this week.
If I got with Raph to Jota who shall I put Jota on for ?
It depends where you want to invest but a lack of Liverpool is glaring.
Few options:
Neco to Trent
Son to Salah
Raphinha to Jota
