FF247 FPL Team GW32
Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW32
Everbody Does Dallas
As regular readers will know, we have benefitted a few times from the autosub rule this season. Call it luck if you like (we don’t – you won’t get good points from your bench if you don’t have good players on it) but we have already called upon two Matt Targett clean sheets and bonus points, an Ezri Konsa clean sheet, a 12-point haul from Jesse Lingard and a Stuart Dallas goal at Leicester a few weeks back.
However, the ‘Cookstown Carlos’ outdid all of the above with his two goals at Champions-elect Manchester City last weekend as he ascended – wearing a crown and in a glow of brilliant light – from our bench with his 17 points and the next time the FF247 committee gather for our social event it will be in Northern Ireland in honour of the great man.
As far as we are concerned, so long as there is a FF247 committee member within touching distance, he’ll never buy another drink.
Oh we also got Raphinha off the bench with his 2 points!
The team have ascended to 316,538 with an overall gameweek score of 60 (the average was 41) so a healthy score and climb. Those with a canny eye and standard grade maths will notice that the nineteen points difference in these scores equates to our autosub total. Tidy.
Jesse lingard hauled with his 14 as he continues his Ballon d’Or quest and aside from a welcome Ollie Watkins (8) goal and Lucas Digne (6) clean sheet on Monday evening, the rest was awful with no less than six two-pointers.
Overall = satisfied.
We move on.
Our GW31 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided…
Our GW32 Transfer(s)
Acutely aware that we already own Harry Kane and in all honesty we’re always likely to Triple Captain him this week for his DGW, we didn’t need to consider a solid captaincy choice with our transfer. Instead we looked immediately to an additional Spurs player and in all honesty, there is only Heung-min Son. Then DCL was confirmed out! With the mounting injuries at Everton and a general frustration with him, we decided that he was the obivous fall guy for bringing in Son. Iheancho was mentioned early on and would eventually lead to a -4.
Aware that Manchester City have a blank gameweek in 33, are rotating most of their squad due to having the league all but sewn up and aiming for that elusive Champions League, we felt it best to sooner rather than later ‘get off’ the assets. We own Gundogan and Dias. Then Raphinha got flagged!
Put simply, it came down to Gundgogan (blank ahead) versus Raphinha (flagged but with cover on our bench [obviously *wink*]) and we have decided to future-proof a little and have said Auf Wiedersehen to Herr Gundogan.
To confirm then we have SOLD ILKAY GUNDOGAN & DOMINIC CALVERT-LEWIN and BOUGHT HEUNG-MIN SON & KELECHI IHEANACHO for -4
Captain – HARRY KANE
Open and shut this one really. The best striker in the league has Everton – who have more injuries than the Glasgow Royal Infirmary – and Southampton – who couldn’t keep children out of an alleyway – and he will be wearing our TRIPLE CAPTAIN armband.
We are predicting the future here remember, but we don’t see a better opportunity to use our final chip of the season. Make us proud Sir Harold!
Heung-min Son wears the vice and we won’t be taking any questions about ‘what happens if the Spurs games are cancelled?. We would rather steam in blissfully ignorant on this one.

Good to go guys ??
I think I’d have Watkins as first sub but yeah.
+1
I like Raph as 1st sub. If he some how starts I’d like his changes of scoring more. Don’t see lighting striking twice with city
Anyone dare to go without Son this week?
Depends on the rest of the team and whether ripping it apart for one player is worth it.
I have only 2 options to get Son:
(1) Sell Mount and Get Son for a 4ph
(2) Sell Gundo+Dias and Get Son+Holding for 8ph
There is a 3rd option – Sell Bruno to get Son for 4ph which is not very appealing.
Think option 2 is my favourite but not sure it’s worth it
Option 1 will lead me to a situation of 9 players in Gw33.
I took a -8 to get Son and allow 11 players for GW33.
Hits aren’t usually beneficial, but I can totally get why you did those with a DGW and then blank. You pretty much just need Son to score in one of the double and you’re in profit!
Good to go, bench right order?
GTG
Looks good to me!
GTG. Bench good.
I can’t decide on Kane or Son as captain. Currently on Son.
Kane as most will TC him so it can cover you if he fires!
The vast majority will be on Kane, so it’s whether you want to take the risk that Son will score more. If he does, you’re ahead of the curve and the risk has paid off, if he doesn’t, it’ll probably sharply affect your rank. I’m boring and so I’m just following the crowd to be on the safe side!
Is Raphinha fit? I do fancy him against Pool for some reason.
I can’t see anything other than him “being a doubt” :\
-8 team guys. Any suggestions for Antonio? Should I do -12?
Antonio to nacho is the obvious transfer but not really keen on -12.
Depends. Do you have a FH? GW33 could be short of players. How long is Antonio out. If out for next week as well and you have to navigate GW33 with FT I would actually get Iheanacho in now. If FH next week then no.
I’d be tempted to play Jorginho over Dunk and, no, I wouldn’t take a -12
I wouldn’t go for another hit and with the chances of him playing and taking penalties, I’d start Jorginho over Dunk.
Cheers guys. Playing Jorginho
