Fantasy Football FF247 Team Game-week 35
That turned out nicely! Like many we attacked DGW34, played our Bench Boost chip and ended up with 173pts, which is by far our highest weekly score of the season and has rocketed us up to a rank of 110,894. Still not where we’d like to be, but bearing in mind seven game-weeks ago we were languishing in an embarrassing 900k place, we’ve done ok and had a great run. Let’s hope we can finish off the job and keep rising.
So how was our week. Well, where do we start? Let’s get Liverpool out of the way! Having been Klopped by rotation in their first match of the week, our boys Coutinho and particularly Sakho came up trumps vs Everton with a goal each and a clean sheet for Sakho. Two clean sheets were ordered for United and DDG and they duly delivered, while we were pleasantly surprised by Darlow keeping a cleanie vs Swansea and then holding City to just a single goal. As expected Ward did little, while Simpson and Leicester finally let us down, conceding two to the Hammers with Mahrez contributing nothing either. Gabriel was another disappointment, but was always a risk, while young Lanzini, well, I think we’re still waiting for him to start the DGW!!! And then onto our strikers, our lovely, lovely strikers, all of which did us proud. Aguero the highlight, as ever, with just the four goals in his two games; Rashford started well vs Villa and notched us 10pts for the week and good ol’ Andy Carroll – 15pts for the week. Last but not least, Captain Alexis carried on his great recent form with a goal vs Palace and then bettered it with a first half brace vs West Brom, justifying our faith in giving him the armband.
Transfer decision for GW35 – Sold Philippe Coutinho and Andy Carroll and bought Dele Alli and Harry Kane
Would you believe, the committee were agreed on the hit to bring back Kane and Alli? It’s true. To be honest our aim was always to buy Kane back, hence the one week punt on Andy Carroll – it was more of a case of how we would finance him. Having seen Kane and Alli destroy Stoke and Klopp’s rotation at Bournemouth, the answer pretty much fell into our laps. All very simple, we wanted guaranteed starters and we wanted players who are still playing for something – Spurs clearly have the bit between their teeth as they try and hunt down the Foxes and West Brom at home on a Monday night will hopefully provide the pair with an immediate chance to recoup the 4pt hit and some.
The team in full
Captain – Harry Kane
Now the committee weren’t agreed on this one!! How one confidently chooses between Kun and Kane this week, we don’t know. We were split 3-2, with let’s face it, both players being great looking options this week. Kane takes it by virtue of West Brom’s dire showing on Thursday night at Arsenal. Had Arsenal had a decent striker out there and a desire to go for the jugula, as Spurs often do, then that one could and should have been even more embarrasing. The decision was also helped by our suspicion that whilst Aguero should do well against Stoke, he’s unlikely to see much beyond 60 minutes of action with the small matter of Real Madrid looming in midweek.
Our Vice-captain is Sergio Aguero
Good luck for this week from the FF247 Team Committee.

Morning lads. Not sure what to do here. Posted last night but it was quiet. I do want Kane Ali back but can’t see it happening unless I -8. But just caught up to mini league leader within 30 points. So I have origi out so was going to do origi payet out to Ali and a striker for 7.7? Unless you lot think take the -8 to get Kane? Help please
I was in a very similar situation to you, was reluctant to take an 8pt hit but found out that he’s took at least a -4.
Check how many transfers he’s made this week.
I’ve brought Kane, Alli & Mannone in.
I did the same shadow! I feel quite happy with the moves considering the two guys closest to me in my ML don’t have Kane!!
Mitro any suggestions on what to do about making funds for Kane. Can you see pic below.
Thanks shadow with me doing payet origi out to Kane and ali leaves me 2.9 mil short. Would have to downgrade coutinho to a 5.3 midfielder. I really don’t know unless you can Suggest another way? I reckon majority will at least -4 so I would be OK to take the hit just need to work out best way. Really appreciate help
The only way I could have afforded it with just a 4pt hit was to do KDB out for Alli but felt abit uneasy about the move. I’m not sure there’s any decent options at 5.3 but could be wrong.
Thanks shadow I like kdb and it makes me uneasy. I feel I may have to downgrade some defence over next weeks
Took an 8pt hit for this but the guy who I’m tied with for top spot as done at least -4 so don’t feel too bad!
Reckon it’s good to go??!
Shadow your team is good to go matey. Be happy with that selection. I want a team like that. Who knows maybe Sunderland hold Arsenal off in a real scrappy game
Morning all. Hows this lot looking ?
well set I’d think Elle
Very nice Elle
Cheers Dreams + Horse.
Morning thinking of doing a -4 to get a starting 11
What u think?
Who you looking at?
Is it worth a -4?
1) Coutinho and Martial out.
Townsend and Costa in?
Whereas Coutinho “may” play today, he is the most likely to be rotated if someone does rotate and certainly dont see him starting against Swansea.
Chelsea may have a reaction after last weeks hiding.
2) Payet to Townsend or Alli – if so which one
Ideally wudnt like to lose Payet
3) Martial to Pelle or Defoe
Pelle in form but no dgw. Defoe not tearing up any trees
4) Delaney to PVA
Gives me nothing much as not sure how often I’d really play him with the other options
Martial, Payet, Smalling, Delaney not playing
Can’t see your team but I would bin Delaney. Get in Spurs if you can afford it
Hi Horse – cant afford any more Spurs and the best I could get is PVA. Rest of my defence is Sakho, Bellerin, Smalling and Rose so PVA wudnt get a look in other than this week. Is that a wasted trf then?
Thoughts on this team please. Can’t decide between Mahrez to Alli or Origi to Defoe. Thoughts please.
Tricky. I would be tempted to get Defoe and bench Daniels.
Thanks but I’m just wary because defoes games don’t look the easiest on paper and virtually everyone close to me in my mini league has Alli so if he has another week like last week I could fall behind.
FPL, get both, Alli + Defoe.
