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!

Many congrats Cookie, my best wishes to you and your family
Cheers Photek, hope you’re well.
I’m good thanks mate just come back from a nice week in the sun, went to Sidari in Corfu had a nice chilled out one.
Morning all!
Don’t think I will have much time today so could you cast yours eyes over my team and let me know your thoughts please?
Your comments or suggestions would be appreciated
I’d play Morgan over Stones myself Mitro
Cheers Init
You brought in Theo yet?
Yep, he arrived last night. In bubble wrap
Man I’m so jealous!! I want him in my team!!
Which goonies do you have Mitro?
Probably just Ozil judging by that big picture above Kop
Oh yeah
Only Ozil? I’d hate that!!!
Kop
“Your attention to detail is superb”
Touché Mitro
Ha ha couldn’t resist mate
How’s your team looking? You done any transfers?
You’ll be proud of me! I broke my golden rule and took a 4pt hit on Sunday night!!
Sold Ibra & Townsend for Rashford & Sanchez.
I’m pretty sure I’ll regret it
They are decent moves mate! I’m toying whether to take a hit! I either do Costa and bolasie to lukaku and Walcott for a -8 or I do payet to Walcott for a -4!!
Stoke team news
Did they ask him about Allardyce? I’d be very interested to hear his answer on that.
*lawyers checked this comment already and there was no implied inference 😉
I’m not allowed to comment on that matter.
What matter? I only enquired if they asked him 😉
*migs is now sweating
Arsenal team news. Giroud out.
That’s good news then, fits with their policy. The shorter the better.
Watford team news….
Oh dear, Wilson in then 😉
Congratulations by the way Cookie; I’m a twin myself. Identical?
Thanks AT – not identical no, luckily, although I am having enough trouble telling them apart!
Hahaha, let’s hope their names don’t get switched forever by accident 😉
Oh Britos you let down.
SNOOKIE!!!! Above mate ^
Thanks Init
Congratulations Cookie! you have a pretty good excuse to not write your usual articles

Thank you Dawids, that’s very nice of you
