Around the Grounds FPL Team News Gameweek 7
We are delighted to announce that this week there will not be an official Around the Grounds article. Delighted you say? Well yes, we say. Let us explain. Your usual roving reporter, the esteemed Cookie, has been a bit busy this week, to say the least. Now whilst most middle aged men are starting to wonder what to do with the spare bedroom once the eldest finally buggers off to University our Cookie lives life a little differently. To say the least. He’s been turning the spare bedroom into a nursery… Ah, surely for his grandchildren then you say? Nope…
We are officially delighted to announce the arrival of Cookie’s latest additions to his growing brood. Yes, that’s plural! Many congratulations from all at FF247 to Mr and Mrs Cook on the arrival of their twin girls Imogen and Olivia.
Ahem, back to FPL anyway. Given the above and the lack of anybody else willing / able to spend half of their week trawling through the press conferences there will not be an official article this week but we will instead endeavour to post all of the latest news in the comments below so that you will at least be kept up to date on all the main news as it happens as we approach tomorrows deadline. And that is the first piece of really important news as it happens –
The GW7 deadline is on Friday at 7pm UK time
[clear]
We will post the main headlines ourselves but we would also encourage others to do the same on this article so that it is all in one place rather than being lost within the RMT chats on the other articles.
Congrats again Cookie. And good luck!

So confused between Ibra and Sanchez for captaim :/ Can’t decide
Sanch imo
But a coin toss
Sanchez
I’m on Ibra
Gents, (apologises in advance)
I know you are probably sick of me asking the same old shit but I’m a dick and I can’t help myself. What do you reckon to my team and possible moves I’ve been contemplating over the past few days!
A. Costa and bolasie to lukaku and Walcott (-8)
B. Costa and Ozil to lukaku and San(c)hez (-8)
C. Payet to Walcott (-4)
D. Ozil to Walcott (-4)
E. bolasie to lallana (-4)
Or is there anything else I should be considering?
How about saving FT
Or I am just going to suggest you Ozil to Walcott out of frustration
Snookie – already used my FT 😉
Ahh how can I forget
The only one I’d consider is C
Cheers kop
+5
Does that mean E pancho? 😉
It’s tough.
I think Sanchez is worth a hit. Two if you make a good second move.
How much do you need if you go Ozil to Sanchez?
Could you swap out stones to cover it?
(He’s expensive and producing no points at all…)
I need 0.5 to do Ozil to Sanchez
I’d consider
Ozil (4.7 form) to Sanchez (8.3)
Stones (1.7 form) to Francis (4) or holebas or someone.
Have some fun!
Mitro, Save the FT
Spoilsport!
😉
+1
Haha..Ok Mitro, then option E..You need any one the Liverpool MFs there.
A and B look good for NEXT WEEK. Bolasie and Costa have decent fixtures this week plus I don’t see Arsenal having it easy at Burnley
So from I can gather we are all going with
So from what I can gather we are all saying option B?
Or this
Anyone going with Kun as cappo?
Me. Naturally. He’s fit isn’t he? 😉
He does like to score against the scum
Nah he didn’t score on Wednesday night 😉
Thought about it
On Sanchez right now.
Afternoon lads! Just gonna dive straight in.
Bunrley have only condeded 2 goals in their 4 home games thus far…
Sanchez is on fire but I can’t see it being easy for him. Same goes for Aguero though!
Yeah I agree. Can’t remember the last time Burnley got spanked. I can see it being tight with Arsenal scoring the odd goal
Hi Cookie well done mate hope Mrs Cook and the twins are all well.
Enjoy the next few years, as youngsters you can be to busy to spend the time with your kids as you would like but now enjoy every minute.
Alan
Alan,
Thank you very much my friend. It’s been a very special couple of days and we have been very blessed with two little crackers!
Appreciate your words as always buddy. Wishing you well,
Cookie
