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.

People trying to decide who to cappo between Aguero and Kane,I’ve just seen an interesting stat on twitter.Check out West Brom’s and Stokes away records for the last 6 games.I’ll leave that with you……….
Main thing I’ll take into account is the City CL fixture, if they are 2-0 or so up at 60 minutes Aguero is getting subbed off whilst Kane is guaranteed the 90. Who knows though!
Elle are you around? What happened in the Regulars Cup?
Morning Cookster, i’ll be looking later. Been really busy and my hand op went wrong. :shake:
What do you think of Martial, coutinho/ payet and Robles out for Kane, Alli and Darlow? Or is there any better options I’m missing?
Duthers, who knows what the Liverpool line up will be?!
Guess you need some players though!
Yeah.. Was thinking of getting Firm or Cout myself.. But I need some guaranteed starters…
Yeah, I imagine Coutinho get’s rested because of the Europa fixture, also questions over Martial game time so hopefully it works out. Who you sticking the armband on?
I’m thinking of slapping it on KANE.. Rest of my team info is a couple of posts below.
I think you deffo need playing players at this stage..
If Kun isn’t a safe Cap what about Pelle 😉
Guys.. And chance of a little advice here please?
I’ve 1ft 3.9idb and am thinking of changing MATA and CARROLL to RAMSEY and KANE… Kane will also be captained? Thoughts or alternative suggestions please?
Cheers GBP
Seems sensible enough GP
Ahh.. The Oracle advises once again
how did u get on in the DGW?
My moves do seem a little conservative.. Maybe I should risk Sturbridge and Iwobi?
GPB – I would be wary of Sturridge this week mate.
Scored 166 I think it was so TC Alexis worked out well! How did you get on?
Good work mate.. I was hoping for a good wack.. But only ended up getting 103.. Ive lost the touch my friend.. Or never had it..
Yeah.. Gonna leave Stur… Maybe I should think of swapping Ozil for Alexis? But that’ll be a -8 if possible with cash..
Hello fellas.. been Out of town for almost a week and came back to see a good score of 156 points for the week.TC Sanchez saved me..was dreading for not TCing Aguero and also Sakho and Darmian being left on the bench, but Sanchez made up for it. Also, can see great scores all around the regulars sheet. Personally it helped me get into 100Ks.Looking forward for 4 more good weeks. A bit of sadness creeping in though as its going to end soon(for 3 months).But, for what its worth it was worth all the while.. Anyways, I’ve taken another hit for bringing in Pelle and Loftus for Martial+Bolasie. Still wont be able to field 11 this week. Also, as there are specualtions over the gametime of whole L’pool line-up, would you guys suggest me taking another hit for this week>And if yes, then for who? Cheers guys..
Here’s my current team..
Hey Constine not worth another hit some players will be rested but everyone will be in same boat good luck mate
Hey Silvers..Thanks mate..Its just a gamble that I consider playing at the end of season..Have to catch up with my ML rival who’s 120 points ahead but has exhausted all his chips.I still have my bench boost left, which I’ll play in DGW37..Building upteam for the same.One thing that I learnt from this dgw is that we should try to field all 15 sure shot players and not just on the basis of form/preference. Players like defoe, townsend coild come handy here..cheers
