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.

Hi all. I am a bit lost as to what I could do with this squad. My issues are with KDB, Gundogan, Watkins, not having Son or Bruno. Or Jota. Only have TC left out of my chips.
Could do KDB to Son/Bruno but I’m toying with the idea of Trossard/Raphina to Jota too. Any help is appreciated, thanks
KDB could be rested, however, if he is not he could score very well. I would do Raphinha to Jota and then look to get Salah in for KDB within the next two weeks.
+1
Thanks Rosco. Yeah KDB played 88 mins against Leicester and the 90 vs Dortmund. He may play some part so maybe I should start him just in case. Not having Son for the DGW or Bruno for the rest of the season may come back to haunt me lol. But I hadn’t considered Salah
I’d keep KDB for this week, Son plays Mun not being that attractive.
How about Watkins to Nacho?
Trossard to Jota if you need to get rid one.
Then next week KDB to Son.
Hi WC active,
Really want to double up on Che defenders this week (like R James but fear of rotation) but how?
,Christensen any good? with Silva suspended, Will Christensen play most of the Prem game, Silva on the european games and FA cup? any one knows?
One of them will be switched to Reguilon for DWG32. Does it sound good?
Opinions are welcomed. Cheers
I would stay away from Christensen as he’ll be rotated a lot as will James but if I had to go with either james would be the one I’d go for. If you can afford Azpi thats where I would go, or you could consider Mendy in for Martinez.
thanks, mate, Cannot afford Azpi.
Martinez is set and forget this season.
Apart from Regulion who is the next nailed Suprs defender?
Martinez to Mendy would be my move. Only Chelsea defence I trust is Azpi, Mendy and Rudiger rest are all risks I feel.
Gtg ? WC active. Thanks all
Looks great, I’m always a little wary of captioning and VC the same team but I can totally understand why you’re doing it!
Thanks rosco
Dawson or coufal as 5th Def?
ooooh coin toss!! Prob Coufal!
I think Coufal more nailed and more assist potential.
Dawson keeps putting the wrong net recently.
Afternoon everyone,
How’s my WC team looking? Not too sure about Watkins. Have 0.1ITB
Looks good, Watkins is good for 33, downgrade Son after 32 and look to get Bamford back in 34 (or anyone else in form)
Hey amigos!
What would you do here? 1 FT, 1.5 M.
1) Cancelo to Dias (had enough of that rotation)
2) Rapphina to Jota (I’d hate to lose him but next 3 fixtures are grim)
3) Bamford/Watkins to Nacho (maybe more appropriate next week given Leicester fixture)
4) Gundo to Neto (it’s a bit of a stretch, isn’t it)
5) something else?
Thank you
Rapha to Jota and if you’re feeling frisky Bamford to Nacho.
