Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 22
Welcome to the Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 22 article. After 2 weeks of relying on Phillips and Defoe boosting us up the rankings we are pleased to report that the other 9 finally woke up too this week! Well ok, 7 of them did, but we’ll take it. We ended up on a fairly respectable 80 points which meant another small climb in the rankings and we now sit at 24,291. Cech and Holebas brought us clean sheets whilst Walker brought us that and more. Erik came home with his usual array of assists and all 3 of our forwards scored. Captain Sanchez was looking decidedly dodgy until a late goal suddenly transformed his score from a lacklustre 6 to a splendid 22. Fine margins. We should point out that we said last week that we were saving our transfer but then Costa happened late on Friday evening and we reacted by buying Giroud. That leaves us back on just 1 free transfer this week, let’s take a look at how we decided to use it this week…
Transfer for GW22 – Sold & Bought – Nobody!
“Now we know this doesn’t make for a very exciting article but sometimes that’s just the way it lands, deal with it! Actually a decision to do nothing is still a decision and has it’s merits just as much, and sometimes more, than a reckless but seemingly more exciting -8 or whatever…. Let’s roll with it and enjoy fighting over where our two free transfers are used next week”.
Yeah ok we wrote that last week too and then scrapped it when it emerged late on that Costa’s agent may or may not have taken a call from China which may or may not have resulted in a sudden back spasm. But it still stands and we sort of didn’t use it, so… Anyway it all resulted in Giroud coming in and we have resisted the temptation to simply reverse the decision. Had Giroud not been confirmed as entirely fit, or had a less favourable fixture, we probably would have done so but we have decided to roll with him for this round. It helps that he also has a better fixture next week with Watford at home as opposed to Costa going to Liverpool. The pair play each other the week after whereas Kane has ‘Boro at home and the 2 free transfers may help us when that comes around.
THE NEW TEAM IN FULL FOR GW 22
Our Captain is Alexis Sanchez
Given our disturbing lack of Chelsea coverage this week the next obvious stop was Arsenal. We can’t trust Giroud to finish a game whereas Sanchez is furious if he doesn’t so that hunger lead us to captain him this week. Zlatan is our vice if the worst was to happen.

Fixture Tracker – the next 6 games
Lads!!
1FT and 0.8 ITB..
Thoughts?
@obrigado..Very nice team looking team for this week. stay
Good team similar to me but the worries lack of liver and Chelsea this week
Team looks solid, imo. I’d roll over the FT. Best wishes.
Cheers guys, Mahelmy that was my concern, I was thinking of doing
– Alli to Coutinho because I have Kane
– Aguero to Costa and then buy Aguero back next week..
Hmmm
Guys, what to do with Allen situation?
Need suggestions..
For a straight swap Charlie Adam maybe! Then leaves you with 0.3 itb, if you then sell pick ford and buy jakupovic you’ll bank yourself another 0.2. You’ll then have 0.5 itb to go towards other areas such as Amat.
Constantine, at that price there’s no one I’d feel comfortable playing as my 4th mid every week. Therefore you’ll need to raise some cash. Giroud is the obvious downgrade as you’ve got double Arsenal, but given their fixture you may not want to do that this week.
Morning all, baby slept all the way through from midnight, haven’t felt like this for months
What does everyone think of my team for this week? I have a loose plan of bringing Heaton in soon but obviously not this gw. 1ft and 0 6 its.
Morning db,
That’s such a great feeling
Your team looks well set although I think I’d play McAuley over Holebas.
It certainly is, she’s back asleep now and really feel like I should be too but doing this now so not much chance of that! Thanks, I did originally have mcauley on but felt uncomfortable have so much West Brom especially 2 at the back!
I think I’d gamble on West Brom as the chances of Watford keeping a clean sheet are very slim.
Your right, thanks.
I agree w/playing McAuley (over Holebas, possibly Cedric).
How are you getting on Kop?
Not bad mate although I’d be better if the kids didn’t have me up at 5:30
How’re tricks with you? Any holidays of late?
Thanks ATF. I’ve put mcauley in now but I’m wavering again and wsnt to take him out. Im going to have to shut the fpl site and look with fresh eyes in couple of hours.
Kids at 5:30 are a blessing compared to teens up all night or out all night. 😉
Life’s been good. A little promotion as of late so I’m overseeing another school strategically.
Had an amazing Christmas in Dubai, had a 9 day surf trip to and new year’s in Sri Lanka, returned on the 3rd and had Laporoscopic surgery on a bilateral hernia. Healing well.
And you?
Sounds like fun. Aside from the surgery that is!
Life is good at present but most of my time is taken up with the kids and work.
I totally understand. I wake up before 5 for work and never get home before 5. Then I’m taxi dad on some weeknights, every weekend!
Fortunately, the hernias are healing well. The doctor said I can resume footie, surfing, s*x and the like… 😉
Wish I could play an instrument
Good to see you’ve got your priorities in the right order…
db I can play the tambourine :smiling:
Haha you’ve reminded me Silvers, I’m pretty good with the triangle
:big-lol:
Here is my team for this GW
After this GW, Im thinking of activating my Wildcard and dropping Defoe, his fixtures are really tough after this weekend maybe getting Crouch and using the extra cash to upgrade my MF. Getting Coutinho for Lallana and maybe upgrade Allen. So in a nutshell:
Defoe —> Crouch
Lallana —> Coutinho
Allen —> Phillips
What do you guys think of that idea?
Also pondering about Costa situation but Il see what happens after this GW
SP, are you suggesting you’d activate your WC to make the 3 moves you’ve outlined?
I’m not sure Crouch is such a good idea now they’ve signed Berahino.
More than 3… have to make changes at the back as well, the whole point is to upgrade a few people. but the point is, I want to downgrade Defoe now, his fixtures are tough now
Crouch is hardly an upgrade!!
Good morning gents! Good luck for this week! 2 things, shall I drop voles for Phillips, and do I keep aguero (what with Jesus situation) or transfer for ibra? Got 1 ft no money in bank! Thoughts are appreciated!
Vokes ?
I’d most certainly play Phillips over Vokes!
I wouldn’t go selling Aguero just yet.
Definitely without a doubt play Philips over Vokes.
Yes keep Aguero, he’s worth giving more concessions to than any other player.
Turns out he was adopted which some say blows the whole God theory out of the water.
Bring Philips of the bench and your gtg. Team looks pretty solid.
Cheers boys much appreciated!
Morning all took Baines in for a hit now I see he might not play great 😉
