FF247 FPL Team GW34
A Very Important Message
In full support of the Premier League’s calls for social media companies to do more to stop online abuse, we at FF247 will join in the social media boycott that is planned for later today and this weekend.
We stand with and join the Premier League, other leagues, governing bodies and organisations across English football and wider sport to boycott social media and demand change.
Therefore in line with the Premier League and its clubs, we will switch off our Facebook and Twitter accounts across a full fixture programme, from 15:00 BST on Friday 30 April until 23:59 BST on Monday 3 May.
We will post on to our Live Match Chat the team news taken directly from club websites where possible.
Challenge it. Report it. Change it.

Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW34
Hit and miss. 48pts we scored last week, but all dedicated FF247 Site Team followers (are there any left?!) will recall that we did take an 8pt hit, so it was actually net 40pts. Still better than the average of just 36, but only just.
Our new players were very much a mixed bag. We broke the bank for TAA because Liverpool would smash Newcastle, or at least keep a clean sheet. They did neither. 2pts. 3 if you include Jota. But it’s ok we still had Captain Vardy to come on Monday night.
A clean sheet for Azpi was welcome even though it ruined Lingard’s week, while Bruno’s poor run continued vs Leeds. Our Villa trio combined for 8pts vs West Brom, but we had at least brought in Pereira who scored 10 points and saved us.
Onto Monday and the Vardy party. Or not as it turned out! Some young lad called Nacho was the hero, and ours with a 12 pointer.
We benched clean sheet stars Digne and Dallas (obviously) for some of the aforementioned losers. And now no Kane this week. Unless we buy him back. Surely not? Read on…..
We ended with a red arrow and now sit barely inside the 300k mark.
Our GW33 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided…
Our GW34 Transfer(s)
When the team was put up for discussion the obvious question mark was, as mentioned already, the absence of Harry Kane.
No way to get him in a single move so we were taking a hit if we were to get to him. A cry went up “we don’t need a transfer” and although true, we sought out a way (via a -4) that we could acquire Mr K. Jota or Trent could be downgraded with Vardy making way but with the fixtures for both Liverpool and Leicester, we fancied holding these.
We knew we had Son and he usually works hand in glove with Kane. We haven’t had Kane for a while so we’ve brassed it out.
NO KANE.
To confirm then we have SAVED OUR FREE TRANSFER
Captain – KELECHI IHEANACHO
Yeah we know we have Son but sometimes democracy wins. Three votes for the Nigerian and he beats Son in a first past the post race. Your author was one of the Son voters but is not at all concerned in giving the Leicester man the armband this week so that in itself tells you that he’s a sound choice.
Son will carry the vice captaincy should anything happen to ‘Kele/Itchy/Nacho/Ian’ whatever nickname floats your boat.

Seems Rudiger is out. Play Coady or get in someone else? Upto 5.1M.
Have Castagne, Shaw, Mitchell.
Play Coady
Seconded
Just sucks. In same situation. We could play Shaw, but not brilliant.
Are the DGW’s really worth saving FT for? I don’t remember any of them being optimal match ups?
Btw you OR is mighty impressive congratulations.
My OR surprises me too.
I think it is best going with 2FTs. For me, not many options in the 5.1M range anyway.
afternoon fellow FPL’ers
so still 8 points behind the mini league top spot.
he has Kane Bruno and Salah
Here is my team:
0 ITB
– should i start watkins?
– should i take a -8 and try to get kane in?
– should i captain Ineacho over Son?
advice please guys…
I wouldn’t take a -8 to get Kane – looking at the costs of those strikers you have painted yourself into a corner a bit.
I assume he is likely to captain Kane? Does he have Son? I’d consider captaining him maybe.
Is this set up right?
Roll the FT or fix something?
Just the one FT and 0.3 ITB.
Ta.
I would go with that possibly making Shaw first sub.
FPL news hitting twitter pre 3pm social media shutdown.
Leicester unchanged this evening.
Fixtures being rearranged: at first glance looks like DGWs for only Villa, Palace, Saints and Everton, in DGW36. Subject to confirmation that I have read things correctly.
Agree with you Cookie. GW35 normal. GW36 starts 11/5 and has been extended with Saints, Palace, Villa and Everton doubles. GW37 will now start on 18/5. Rescheduling to allow all clubs opportunity to get fans back.
Hey Cookie,
So seems like DGW is 36 not 35?
Cookie, is that a definite that gw36 will be the double and not gw35?
GW35 is defo the double. 36 is the blank for four teams
Thanks for the news. I recall there being two other games still needing rescheduling-CHEL/LEIC and ARS/?. Are they saving these for spectators in 37/38?
Confirmed 35/36 games
Thanks Padster. That’s exactly what we expected. Beware folks that at the moment all GW37 games are Wednesday and at the same time. Some may go to Tues so watch the deadline !
Am I good to go?
Surely Rudiger has to start? Even if he doesn’t play, just in case.
I second that, maybe, Rudiger swapped to Coady
Rüdiger is injured and will not start no
Rudiger is injured
Hi guys, still not sure what to do with my 1FT 0.5m itb. Inclined to FH next DGW. Wouldn’t rule out using it on BGW too. Considering to swap with Areola out for Forster or Veltman out for max 4.9m def? What do you think?
You could swap Areola for Pickford who has a DGW coming up at some point.
Else, Veltman to Coleman
Thanks Shrivathsa. Was considering to FH next gw, so was thinking more for this gw or 36 onwards
I’d save your transfer this gw and probably free hit in gw36.Come up with a potential FH team for gw35 and compare it to what you have now plus 2 transfers.
Maybe share both potential teams on here and get some opinions ?
I could get by with BGW36 if I do Castagne to Dallas and assuming Raphinha and Phillips would be back by then. Will just bench Nacho, Bruno and Shaw
Hey Brooky, How does this look for free hit 35?
So Digne instead of Trent,Schmeichel instead of Martinez Dcl instead of Bamford and two of Zaha,Mount and Greenwood instead of Son and Lingard ? You could get 2 of those attacking players with Ft’s next week if you save your transfer.I’d save your FH for gw36
You’re right the difference probably would come down to Schmeichel vs Martinez , Digne vs TAA and Bamford vs DCL. On top of that not sure if I’m ready to part with Son, Lingard, Bamford or Raphinha. Hmm
Well Raphina is injured and Bamford is out of form so I wouldn’t worry about them.Points on the board at this stage is more important !
Ok, will hold the FT this week and re-evaluate the FH chip again once we’re one week wise. Thanks a lot mate and best of luck this week.
Very wise.Good luck to you too !
