FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups DGW34
Welcome to FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups DGW34.
Heroes and villains
Last week we lamented the glut of 2-point returns that made up our score, and this week is no different. 7 of our 11 returned a 2-pointer, and 2 managed just the one. Indeed, in a week where only Tyrone Mings (15pts) and captain Earling Haaland were the only 2 players to actually pick up anything, we were lucky that our red arrow was not a whole lot worse. Our transfer of Kane to Haaland paid off (sort of) 28pts for our captain, but to see Kane pick up 11pts was a difficult pill to swallow, we were not alone, with over 500k managers also parting ways with the Spurs talisman. Ouch.
Things could have been so much better. We started Kepa (1pt) benched Raya (9pts) Started Botman (2pts) benched Mee (6pts) started Mitoma (2pts) benched March (5pts). That’s 5pts vs a potential 20pts. Ouch again. Our 59pts was 4 more than the 55pt average, but not enough to prevent a second successive red arrow; 146,972 down to 157, 806. We move… in the wrong direction.
Our GW33 Result…
We have £0.3 in the bank and 1 free transfer to use ahead of GW34. Let’s go see what was decided….
Our GW34 Transfer(s)
As planned we have played our Free Hit chip. Our starting 11 actually looked pretty decent, but the opportunity to take our double-game week player quota up a notch seems like too good an opportunity to miss.
Other than the highly owned Trippier (who plays bottom of the table Southampton) we’re going with an ‘all in’ approach, trippling up on Liverpool and City with the Man Utd and Brighton double making up our 11. Trent and Salah need no explanation, Jota whilst a minutes risk is our high ceiling hit and hope, and we just have to cross our fingers that he continues to get the starts, or at least enough minutes over the two to make a difference. With City we have opted to go with Grealish purely down to financial restrictions, and in goal we go with ‘steady eddy’, boring? maybe, but we’ll take the least risky way into a City backline that changes like the weather. The Brighton Mids March and Mitoma make up a midfield 5 that if nothing else looks aesthetically pleasing.
Our bench is made up with what we can afford given our meagre budget and the cost of our first 11. Whilst Solanke may not have a double, the Cherries front man is in form and plays Leeds at home, who needs a double right? Lindeloff is our first back-up defender, at just £4.1m he is a cheap way into the Man Utd defence should we need him, and finally Zouma (£4.4m) sits last on our bench, hopefully we’ll not need him and he can take some much needed time to think about the bad choices he’s made in life.
To confirm then we have played our Free Hit
Captain – Haaland

Predicted Line-ups and FPL Team News
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.

Double-game week fever is in full flow as we go with an all-in strategy and hope we can reverse some of the bad luck/choices we seem to have had in recent weeks!
Good luck for the game week to each and every one of you!
Jota flagged — what should we do??
He should be OK according to Klopp but maybe Darwin would be a safer choice…..
https://www.thisisanfield.com/2023/04/konate-back-jota-should-be-ok-as-jurgen-klopp-gives-injury-update/
What will you be doing mate?
What will the site team do?
I might go 4-5-1 and try to fit Salah and Gakpo. Tempted to add Bruno as well, he looked good last night and now with Casemiro back a couple of goals could be on the cards.
Do you currently have Jota?
Yes Hammerfan, I do but that could change. We might get some more info later on if he trains….
Cheers Ivan
Came sniffing around here because I have this exact question…. I think if my gut tells me Darwin will get more minutes over the 2, it’s an easy swap. Maybe a shot of tequila and some dowsing rods will be employed later to see who the orishas favor.
Thinking mee and saka to taa and salah. Would also need to take a hit to sell kane to make funds for those moves. 1st issue with that it would mean I would have estupinian shaw and trent then would prob have to bench trippier which I don’t like. Might I be better off selling estupinian even though he has a double. Then who would the best striker be to pick for 7.1m. Jota? Isak?

Mr M, the two suggested moves are great. Wait for last minute news on Jota as he is expected to be OK, see post 2.1
Hey All,
What do you think the best combination at the back is on a FH team with 3 defs?
Already have TAA so him with:-
A) Ederson/Lindelof/Estu (or Dunk)
B ) Steele/Akanji/Shaw
C) Steele/Lindelof/Dias
any thoughts?
cheers
Steele,Dalot,Stones or De Gea,Dunk and Stones/Dias ? Who knows if a city defender plays both games though !
yeah so if i want city defence covered it has to be ederson really
Anyone thinking of playing TC chip on Haaland this game week ?
My guess is that anyone who is still sitting on their TC is thinking about it….
Yeah, me!! I can’t see a better pair of fixtures in the upcoming DGWs for anyone apart from Haaland this week. Even if he only plays 60mins in each game, he can still do plenty of damage
Have 2fts itb and 2.1 itb
Which option is best
1) saka to rashford and Watkins to jota
2) Kane to jota and saka to salah
3) something else
My rival has rashford so wondering is he better to have or not ?
Cheers
Thanks all

Sorry this is my current team
Click on image to enlarge:
Kickers – nice team, but if looking at Jota, keep an eye out on his fitness/updated info as currently 75% flagged
Cheers hammer
Another option then is
Watkins to Darwin and saka to rashford/fernandes
Klopp does say Jota should be fine.
I for one will stick with Jota unless something gets mentioned later. He has till sunday to man up.
Cheers hammer
Are you chasing your rival or defending ? If you downgrade Kane can you afford Salah Rashford and Trent ?
Chasing
Would leave me with 6.4 for an attacker. Should I be doing a -4 if I’m chasing though? This is his team very similar
Click on image to enlarge:
How many points behind ? My guess is he will downgrade Kane and do Martinelli to Salah Chilwell to Trent.
I’m 31 points behind him
I’m fairly certain he only has 1ft
Ok 31 points isn’t a lot so you don’t need to go crazy.Kane to Jota Saka to Salah and Odegaard to Rashy ?
0.5 mil short for that
Kane to Isak then
Can do kane to isak, saka to salah and odegaard to rashford for -4. Or would you not do a hit?
I’d go for it !
