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.

Who to captain – salah or Kane?
S2k_LFC
Salah if I had him
hammerfan_lm
Salah it is then
theswirly
I’ve gone Salah
TheDreamers
How much of a punt is Sterling over Fernandes given Utd have tough enough fixtures?
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
It’s a punt.
United get a penalty and you’re chasing.
Sterling is a frustrating own
theswirly
I wouldn’t do that, but then I am a very conservative FPL player!
TheDreamers
Got distracted and missed the responses
Sterling it is I’m afraid
Shadow
Anyone tempted to captain Lingard??
Shadow
A sentence I never thought I’d be saying…
TheDreamers
No – I’d imagine he has been sold on a lot of wc’s so owning should be good enough
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Get the armband on him!
theswirly
Depends what the rest of your team is like, but I wouldn’t – Antonio being out could negatively affect West Ham
Bigpopz
Bamford or Watkins to start?
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Bamford

Bamford
Bigpopz
Thanks guys
GoalMachine
Whom to pick between Fofana and Coady?
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Both could lose a clean sheet just as easy but you would have to think Wolves have the easier game all being equal.
theswirly
Coady
GoalMachine
Ok, Coady done……..he is on my bench though.
Bigpopz
Raphina or Philips (Liv) to start?
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Raphinha definitely
theswirly
Yeah, Raphinha (though I have just sold him, so hoping he doesn’t do too well!)
