My Barclays fantasy premier league team gameweek 27 – additional transfer made

Fantasy Premier League

Well you wont be surprised to hear that I made my additional transfer for my Barclays fantasy premier league  team gameweek  27.

Yes I made my 2nd 4 point hit of the season to get Bale in for Fellaini.  Here’s my reasoning (or how I justified doing it to my self).  There were a few negatives to get over first.

Firstly there was no money reason as Fellaini went up over night giving me £0.2m cash spare to get Bale before another price rise if I left it to the next gameweek so I cant use that one.

Secondly I cant use Bales consistent scoring as a guarantee to getting the points back.  He has a good record away from home, returns in 8/12 games so I’ve got a 66% chance of getting my points back which is ok but its not at Walcott, Mata or RVP level.

Thirdly I cant use a guarantee that Fellaini will play as a CDM as Coleman maybe fit allowing him to play RB with Neville as CDM.  Also the doubts about Anichebe and Moyes talking up Jelavic give a good chance for Fellaini playing as a support striker to Jelavic and then next week Everton are  home to Reading.

Fourthly the West Ham defence is nearly back to full strength and has performed at home well although crucially against top flight opposition of Everton Arsenal and Liverpool have faltered giving me some hope.

So there was a lot against doing the transfer.

However there’s no doubt about the quality and how necessary he is for your team so for the rest of the season it does make sense over Fellaini who has played that CDM position often recently.

Bale will definitely play in GW29, there’s a good chance Everton wont as Arsenal play in the week ahead in the Champs league (I’m assuming they beat Oldham by the way) and with a lot of doubt over who would be playing in that game week 29 its possible I would have had to do that transfer anyway so I thought I may as well do it now.

Also its only my 2nd 4 point hit of the season which isn’t that bad and I can watch the game on Monday not wanting to hide my eyes every time he got the ball.  Ok these aren’t particularly analytical reasons!

That’s it.  Here’s the full team and good luck to all fantasy football geeks for their  Barclays fantasy premier league team gameweek 27
