International (gimme a) Break

Welcome to FF247 Site Team Gameweek 5

We return with a look at how our FPL team did in Gameweek 4, a time before South American teams began qualifying for the 2026 World Cup (no, really), when Italy didn’t beat North Macedonia (again) and poor old Harry Maguire lost to England (sorry Mrs M).

Another gameweek where we could proudly boast that we beat (not smashed) the weekly average. Our 79 beats Joe Bloggs’s 72.

This lifted us up to a season-high 104,106 and we turn attention to getting back in the saddle and cruising into the top 100k this week.

Our main player, well everyone’s really, Erling Haaland took a 40 point haul into the break (in which he conitnued his scoring with his national team) and in all truth did most of the heavy lifting again. Bryan Mbeumo (8) continues to reward us and after him, we were followed by a brace of sevens from Martin Odegaard (also a Norwegian scorer this week) and Marcus Rashford.

Twos and ones amongst the rest who don’t get their names read out.

Our Gameweek 4 Result

We have £0.2mln in the bank and 2 free transfers to use ahead of Gameweek 5. Let’s go see what was decided.

Our Gameweek 5 Transfer(s)

Well we feel that the double Arsenal/double United needs to be spreadout to accommodate some Spurs coverage based upon their start to the season. We could have gone Son, we could have gone Maddison and we could have gone both. We have gone Maddison in the end.

Whilst Son may be more explosive (clearly!), the feeling among us is Maddison is going to be the more consistent. And we can get Son if we have to! We carry one transfer.

Martin Odegaard was the unlucky elbowee at this time (and this one could go wrong). Accepted.

To confirm then we have SOLD MARTIN ODEGAARD and BOUGHT JAMES MADDISON

Captain – ERLING HAALAND

Off the back of 40 points and scoring for his country, we’re not overthinking it.

PREDICTED LINE-UPS

Back by popular demand! Well, sort of… Drafthound have changed their line-up approach this season and what it means for us is that we are no longer able to display a live feed of it on here due to some technical difficulties. That said, what they have done looks great and is still only a click away so if you want to access those they are HERE

Both leagues will be shut to new entrants as of 01/01/24.
