FF247 FPL Team GW38
Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW38
We scored 53 points in GW37 which was apparently 10 points better than the overall average and helped us to a small green arrow. Small mercies and all that, but in all honesty we probably needed something more if we are to finish the season with any respectability.
Basically we were indebted to our defence and West Ham for our score – clean sheets from TAA, Dallas and Digne contributed 19 points, whilst Lingard assisting Antonio late on gave us 16 points. Eight points from Captain Bruno was fortunate to say the least given he didn’t even touch the ball! Sadly we left Watkins and his 9 points on the bench. The rest were hopeless and they are lucky there is only one gameweek left.
We enter the final gameweek ranked 221,412. Inside the top 200k would probably now be the alerted season target.
Our GW37 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided…
Our GW38 Transfer(s)
With 2 free transfers in hand we should be feeling good going into the gameweek. However with Solskjaer threatening mass rotation ahead of the Europa final (we have 3 United), Jota injured and Digne and DCL up against City at the Etihad we had some tough choices to make.
We have made three transfers, selling Bruno, Jota and DCL and buying Salah, Raphinha and Bamford. A 4 point hit has been taken but we are happy to roll the dice one more/last time, fully expecting Liverpool and Leeds to see off Palace and West Brom comfortably.
To confirm then we have:
SOLD BRUNO FERNANDES, DIOGO JOTA & DOMINIC CALVERT-LEWIN and BOUGHT MOHAMED SALAH, RAPHINHA & PATRICK BAMFORD
Captain – MOHAMED SALAH
The obvious, if slightly boring choice but as we know boring is normally effective in FPL. Our vice captain, if required is Patrick Bamford.

VOTE ON THIS WEEK’S CAPTAIN POLL GW38
Hi all!
I am currently third in a money league where only the top three get a payout, so a big week for me!
I am defending an 8 point lead and have 1 FT. I would like to do Son to Mane, but I would need to take a hit to do that (probably downgrade Digne?). However, I am wary of taking a -4 when that would half my lead over my opponent!
Sounds weird, but I feel like an 8 point lead is a decent cushion whilst four is essentially nothing.
I have .7m in the bank, what would you do?
Thanks in advance!
Why do you have to do Son to Mane?
Does someone else you are worried about have Mane? Son could outscore him.
Hi mate – I’m a Leicester fan and fancy us to do Spurs today, so don’t feel the need for Kane and Son.
Liverpool have a nice fixture (hence Mane), but would be open to other midfielders if you have any other suggestions?
I just think doing it for -4 is asking for trouble that’s all.
Son to Raphinha or Harrison could be nice.
And who would you bench? Would it be Kelechi?
Not if you support Leicester!
Yeah Iheancho probably.
Will Wan Bissaka start ? Maybe him to Chillwell or James ?
My rival has Shaw – I feel like due to United’s defensive options, Shaw is more likely to be rotated?
Am I good to go here. I’m 13 points if the top 10k can I get it back this week? Do I need to maybe take a risk on a differential captain seeing as everyone has Salah? Used my ft on DCL to bamford
Now I’m tempted to take a -4 for Shaw to Robbo. Would mean benching rudiger. Is it worth it?
I see Salah as your best captaincy choice and the team is set up well without the hit.
I would leave it.
Sorry me again!
My final team … and using BB chip.
Would you take a -4 to do Pereira to Mount??
CC
On a BB chip week I would take a -4! Esp considering Pereira is flagged.
Wait until the last moment to see if there’s any leaked team news about Pereira. I’d the transfer though.
I like the sound of that CC.
Thanks all
Good luck everyone.
Morning guys, chasing a 8 point gap in my ML would you take a hit? Plan is to do Bruno to Mane and captain him or should I play it safe and captain Salah? The hit would be JWP to Lingard, is it worth it? Cheers
My team:
Rival’s team
He would be most likely to captain Salah you think, yeah?
Can you not do Bruno to Mane in a straight move without hit?
Either way, I would transfer Bruno to Mane and captain either him or Kane.
Thanks GP! Yep Bruno to Mane with my free FT. Rival is a spurs fan, so he may go for Kane as a nostalgia pick. Think I will roll the dice with Mane capo. Taking a -4 is digging a bigger hole to climb out of.
Just seen this.The Bruno move seems a no brained.
Brainer ffs
If I had Mane and Salah I would be captaining Salah gaz.
That is a pretty big gamble – especially if your rival could captain Salah as well.
Your team is marginally better than his in my opinion so I wouldn’t take the hit.Have you already done your transfer ?
Nope just done the bruno to mane move….still undecided Salah vs Mane as captain
Ok this is it, should I bring Iheanacho in for DCL for a hit or leave as is?
I could see both those players scoring the same amount – 2 points or 6 – so I don’t think it is worth it.
Ok, thanks GP.
Would u play Digne instead of DCL?
No. As is I think. See City scoring.
Ok bud.
Thinking of doing Fernandes – Mane and Shaw to Dallas. Not sure if taking a hit for DCL – Antonio is worth it/
2FTS £0.8 ITB
Bruno and Iheanacho to Harrison and Kane work?
If you are set on Dallas then, the moves you suggested seem good.
