FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW6
No Hazard, no party, evidently! Seven of our players scored two points or less last week. Although that was a was fairly typical scenario, from looking around a bit. The identity of the other four probably dictated whether you had a stinker, an average week or a bonanza one. Our other four got 6, 9, 11 and 14 (c) so whilst not too shabby it still left us in the middle bracket. To excel last week one or more of them had to be Hazard or Fraser but unfortunately we had neither. We landed on 52 and whilst that was 5 above the average it saw us get the dreaded red arrows and a drop to 168k overall. Certainly one to brush under the carpet and move on swiftly from.
So will Hazard’s obvious form finally tempt us to move on from Salah? Or will we rip up our team in a knee jerk reaction and wildcard? Or will we simply decide on another genius move such as selling goalscorer Firmino for two pointer Vardy like last week?! Let’s go find out what the decision from the headquarters of the Cirque Du Solei of fantasy football discussions was this week…
Last Week’s Result
What have we done this week?
We’ve come to about six different decisions, basically! And at least three of those involved selling Salah. And yet we haven’t, ultimately. We only have one Liverpool fan on the panel and when asked about Salah he rated his chances of actually starting at “less than 50/50”. Which obviously sparked a fierce debate as to whether we should then simply sell him for Hazard. Six hours later, once the storm had calmed, he was asked to vote on the issue. And he declined to sell him! And then when pushed further on the issue still said he doubted he would play, but again wouldn’t commit to actually selling him. Confused much? We were a bit but it probably sums up all Salah owners feelings too. If he plays it’s a great fixture, in theory, if we knew he wouldn’t then Hazard in is an easy and understandable move. But we don’t know. and #LemsipGate doesn’t really clear the already muddy waters.
We decided to keep him, for now. Kane went through a similar spell not so long back and was sold off en-masse and then banged in back to back to hat-tricks out of the blue. That’s the thing with these ‘explosive’ players… they can explode at a moments notice. And it’s also why we exercise patience with them.
So what did we decide to do instead? Our midfield was beginning to look a bit barren, to say the least. Mkhitaryan starting in the Eurpoa League was probably the final straw for us as far as he was concerned. That on top of our 4th and 5th mids looking iffy at best meant that we needed a major overhaul in that department. And so we’ve set out on a path to correct our weaknesses and sold Mkhi for Fraser this week, with a view to selling Cairney next week for either Richarlison or Maddison. And it leaves funds for King to maybe Mtirovic or Zaha in our ‘blue sky’ future.
To confirm then, we’ve… SOLD Mkhitaryan and BOUGHT Fraser
The Team In Full…
CAPTAIN – AGUERO, VICE CAPTAIN – SALAH
Kun took the vote very easily, possibly on the back of our Liverpool fan and his Salah ‘uncertainty’. Aguero got rested midweek, in a fashion, but still came on late doors to show that he is is fit and available, we hope. It is Cardiff after all and with a bit of Pep rage in their sails after the midweek defeat you’d have to think that City may be motivated to prove a point.

My team is a bit of a mess. Any advice. One free transfer and 0.2 in the bank. I’m looking at a -4 or a -8 I think
Pedro out, Fraser in.
Leave the rest (unless Mendy is confirmed as being out for a while). Your starting line up looks good, it’s just the bench that is a mess.
I’m expecting Mendy to be ruled out
Just the pedro change for now, smash. pedro to fraser/madison/pereyra comes to mind
I’ll just wait on Mendy news I think
Wild Card.
I could do but not sure if it’s that bad. I have the core players.
Just do the Pedro to Fraser move. And let Stephens come in for a 2pointer for Mendy. Although it could get a bit tricky if Robertson is rested.
Pedro >Fraser good move ad. Take ur chances with Mendy
hi guys rmt plz
pickford
alonso mendy wan bissaka
salah hazard pereira moura
aguero(c) zaha wilson
bench: stekelenburg stephens peltier daniels
1FT
any news on mendy?
daniels>doherty is it good?
Sounds like a good move otherwise good to go I think! Keep an eye on the pressers for Mendy tho!
MCI press conf at 1.30pm. I for one am also waiting to hear what Pep has to say about the injury
yes i’m waiting for news on mendy, if he’snt fit, do i trsfr mendy out? or daniels>doherty and keep mendy on the bench?
Keep Mendy on the bench and do he Doherty move
That’s a very good move FF247.
I like it.
Best of luck boys :ok:
Not sure what to make of this.
Thing is, Sarri saying it’s not as bad as first thought could still mean he’s out for a few weeks, or he could have simply pulled something and he’ll be rested to let it heal and be back next week. The problem with injuries to a player of Pedro’s ‘level’ is that it’s not really imperative that he plays so even if he’s fine he could be stuck on the bench and then not come on! So in short, who knows!
Yeah who knows. Will see what Sarri says but I’m expecting to have to move him on
I had Pedro –> Richarlison penciled in for next week but guess I might as well do it now, no?
Morning guys, should I play double palace defence or play Bertie, other defenders are mendy and Alonso
Who’s Bertie? Robertson or Bertrand?
Personally I like to spread the risk
Ye Bertrand
That’s tough then as I’m pretty sure Southampton will concede at least two. Take the risk then with the two Palace defenders imo
My team looks like an orthopedic unit. I am almost tempted to use the WC.
2 FT and 0.6 ITB. Any thoughts?
1) Swap out Pedro for Maddison and roll the FT, if you want to give Mendy a last chance
2) Add a swap of Mendy to Laporte / Walker (for Man city defensive cover). Walker the better choice.
The next week if Auba continues to misfired, can junk him for Lukaku or swap Walnott to Richarlison
Biggest elephant which i have ignored is Hazard, one more 10-15 point performance and I can imagine all of us losing OR (those without him) as he is likely to be captained heavily
Thanks Shrivathsa. Maddison sounds a good option. Auba scored a brace last night in the EL, hopefully he can do it again this weekend. As for Hazard, we can only hope that his scoring spell is over 👿
Hope so, as in my ML, a guy literally vaulted from last place to second as he was the only guy in the league with Hazard.
You need to the sell that overpriced scoundrel mate, and do it fast!!! 😉
