FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups Double Gameweek 29
Welcome to FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups Double Gameweek 29
Scott McTominay song (to the tune of ‘Awimbawe’ …)
….. IN THE GAMEWEEK, THE DOUBLE GAMEWEEK, THE SCOTSMAN RULES THE WORLD …..
Forgive the author, he is a very proud Scot who is still giddy off the back to back wins for the national team in Euro 2024 qualifying where they took care of Cyprus (3-0) and (with so much ease, 2-0) versus Spain.
Arriba!
Back to work now though and we prepare for Double Gameweek 29 and a huge one at that. Huge it is!
As always, we cast an eye back to the previous week and a milestone has been reached. Your FF247 Team has crashed the top quarter of a million. Moving 62 thousand places to 234,423 overall and we are primed for a right rattle at the forthcoming double gameweek.
For the second time in three weeks, Tyrone Mings (12) is carrying us to the points. Twelve points made up of a clean sheet, an assist and a sweep of the bonus. The rest of the five man defence and goalkeeper don’t deserve the time of day.
A two-man Arsenal midfield of Saka and Odegaard combined for 20 points with Bukayo (18) very much doing the heavy lifting.
The three-man strike force of Ivan Toney (2), Ollie Watkins (5) and captain Harry Kane (12). Meh. Not a total disaster and we focus on the green arrow and move on ….
Our Gameweek 28 Result
We have £7.3m in the bank and 1 free transfer to use ahead of Double Gameweek 29. Let’s go see what was decided.
IT CAN ONLY BE ONE MAN!
Kidding. To save you looking he hasn’t scored or assisted for Manchester United this season and is £4.9m. Is he going to play now that Casemiro is suspended? Who knows? Is he going to continue his international form into the domestic game? It would be fun.
But the real news is …
Our Double Gameweek 29 Transfer(s)
Like the rest of us, we are hesitant to lose any Arsenal players seeing as they are top of the league, home to Leeds and in red-hot form (now that it is written down, WHAT ARE WE DOING!?…. ) but, who doesn’t love a Double Gameweek? This is what they are for! Seeing as we only currently have Marcus Rashford representing Manchester United ahead of games at stuttering Newcastle and at home to Brentford, we felt that trying to capitalise on what could be two very favourable results for the Red Devils, we would look to invest further.
Therfore we put up two United players in two games, against Arsenal in one (admittedly very) good game. Luck be with us!
Saka stays though!
To confirm then we have SOLD GABRIEL & MARTIN ODEGAARD and BOUGHT LUKE SHAW & BRUNO FERNANDES
Captain – MARCUS RASHFORD
Once we were informed that ETH had “good hope that he’ll be available” and being mindful just how important he is to Manchester United’s renaissance, we’re happy to proceed with the planned captaincy of the England international (who missed playing for England during the international break by an entire and complete coincidence …. )
Clubmate Bruno Fernandes will pick up the slack (and the armband) if worst happens.
Chip Active – BENCH BOOST
No better time to play this we feel with even our single gamewek players in decent looking games. Saka has Leeds, Harry Kane has Everton and everyone else has two.

Rather than clutter the site up on deadline eve with too many articles we have tagged our predicted line-ups on here.
As a quick reminder –
There are two versions of this article.
The one below has a drop-down version. It’s fairly idiot proof – you simply click on the small arrow to the right of the team name and you get a drop-down list of all the teams. Simply click on the one you want to see and hey presto, etc.
The other one is permanently live and has the ‘nicer’ grid layout. If you want to see that version you can click here. This can also be easily accessed at any time via a myriad of links on our homepage – Header link, Hot Topics link, Quick Access link on mobile and it is also linked towards the end of all of our regular articles.

It’s here and it’s Bench Boost time!
Thanks GP!
! 😉
Oh, shiver me timbers, the message got wiped out! Bloody smartphone late night typing!
It’s ok, we know exactly what you meant
yeah yeah – you have been on the sauce again…lol
Just a thankyou message, but it seriously got wiped as I was pressing ‘enter’! All about the ‘wisdom’ of me takin’ an 8 pt hit, just to get in TAA at the last moment etc etc! Sometimes does this on my phone – but yes, you were partly right guys, I had had a couple of glasses of wine, although not too many! Anyway, the die are cast and the bets are laid, now just to wait till the dramatis personae take the stage to play out our wildest dreams or most fearful nightmares at the end of this MGW (mega game week!)!
Good luck to all! AJW 😉
Hi guys and gals, hope all doing well!
I was all set to BB this gw, but with Saliba & Haaland injuries plus Toney on 8 yellows I’m in 2 minds!
Option 1 – Saliba/Mee to Dunk/Estupiñan and play BB gw 29?…predicted bench points 23.9!
Pro’s …highest scoring bench on my planned weekly teams…Arsenal vs Leeds and 2 dgws on bench should score big! Gives me 3 BHA players to set me up for future dgw’s
Cons…Haaland may not play/start…Toney could get a yellow and play 1 game!
Option 2 – BB in gw37…?
Pro’s… might be a couple less ‘maybes’
Cons….no dgw’ers & weaker fixtures on bench…21.3pts….could be plenty more injuries/suspensions by then!
Quick way of putting it….are Haaland & Toney worth the risk/potential for huge points this week?
Take the chance with Toney and sell Haaland for Isak / Watkins / Ings. Just leave enough to get him back next week for Kane, if he’s then fit.
1ft thinking to bring in shaw or Chilwell who’s preferable of the two and who makes way. Zinchenko mee or botman?
And also is ot worth a bench boost?
Mr. M go Shaw for Zin and BB. You will be in the 99% club.
Yeah leaning towards shaw but for who?
Jeez sorry you said for zinchenko I’m tired zzz
I would as Ivan says, sell Zinc -> Shaw
Morning gents, looking to BB as well but have a few issues with Sanchez, Rashford and Haaland. 2FT 0.7m itb. Any ideas which to prioritize? Sanchez seems like a must since he’s lost he’s spot?
Yup, sell Sanchez…maybe Steele?
Thanks mate but not sure if Steele is nailed? Feels like going with Raya who is more secure. Not sure if I should take out Haaland for Isak/Watkins
I am keeping Haaland myself.
Wondering whether to BB this…Y or N?
Raya
Trippier Mings Chilwell Estupian
Maddison Mitoma Mac Rashford(C)
Toney Watkins
Kepa Haaland Pinnock Saka
That looks primed for a BB, B & R.
Haaland I think will play some part but I obviously can’t guarantee that. Pep keeping Liverpool guessing wouldn’t be outwith the realms of possibility or reality would it?
Isak or Ings are your best alternatives if you did want a one-week change.
For a -4…hmm. Maybe hope Pep plays him for a few mins.
Y. Looks good. Maybe Haaland to Isak and then next week bring Haaland back for Toney?
That could work but would be for a -4.
Looks good for BB. I wouldn’t take the hit for Haaland.
