Fantasy Football 247 FPL Team – GW2
GW1 for the FF247 team resulted in a solid, but not spectacular 66pts. The highlights were certainly in the midfield where Ramsey, Fabregas and Sigurdsson all contributed double-figure returns, while two of our strikers, Rooney and Costa both scored – Rooney as captain doubled his tally to 14pts. There were a few disappointments also – United’s shocking home loss meant just 3pts combined from De Gea and Mata, while Chambers and Caulker, who we were hoping for clean sheets from, let us down by both conceding at home to Palace and Hull, respectively. Our third striker Jovetic brought home just 2pts and is a concern, especially with Aguero making a late impact as a goal scoring substitute. Fortunately, we weren’t left frustrated with points on the bench, with O’Shea and Ward scoring just a point each and Myhill and El Ahmadi not playing.
We have decided to hold our transfer for this week and run with what we have got for GW2, giving our underperforming players another chance to deliver. This gives us another week to study form and consistency of selection and of course two free transfers to look forward to next time. Jovetic we need to monitor, while we will also keenly keep an eye on Aguero when City host Liverpool on Monday evening. Our third striker is an interesting situation and if we decide to move early into Aguero, we will need to raise funds, but that is a thought for next week. We are fortunate that we own Fabregas and Siggy, two of the most popular transfers by managers leading into GW2. Mata has been a popular seller in FPL this week, but we feel relaxed in keeping him in this week, on the assumption that LVG has spent the week laying into his side and demanding an improvement.
Calum Chambers is another to keep a close eye on as Mertesacker nears a return, but we have cover on the bench if necessary so will look forward to ride the Chambers train as long as possible.
So it’s an unchanged squad and an unchanged starting XI this week –

Captain
With Chelsea impressing at Burnley in GW1, it was a simple decision in handing Costa the armband this week as he makes his home league debut vs Leicester. A goal on his debut will have settled any nerves or doubts the striker had of adjusting to life in the Premier League and we are hoping he kicks on vs the Foxes. Should something unexpected happen Costa and he does’t play then our Vice-captain is Sigurdsson at home to Burnley as we feel both form and fixture favour him over the others such as Rooney or Mata.

Cheers Bench
How nailed is Wilson from Stoke? Is that the end of Huth? or was he injured?
He seems to be in front of Cameron.
Cheers, might be a nice cheap way into the Stoke defence (when they’re at home)
He can also play DM and the Manager seems to like him. Beware of transfer action though.
Indeed
Anybody else clarify this before I make my transfer?
I currently have Cameron, he played over 3200 minutes last season, is Wilson first choice / was he said injured last year?
Hello flingy, Cameron has lost his place to Bardsley me thinks. As for Wilson I think he played CB with Shawcross in the first match. Whether this is due to him being preferred over Huth, or due to Huth not being completely fit, is not something I know.
How many hits are you taking this week LFC? 😉
None, not even a ft.
Wow, you’ve changed!
A RMT for GW2 would be great lads:
Speroni (Green)
Jones Terry Taylor (Debuchy & Pieters)
Mata Siggy Ramsey Sterling (Marney)
Costa (C) Rooney Weimann
Cheers fellas!
Not enough Cesc
Hammers,
I’d fancy Debuchy or Pieters to out score Taylor
Other than that looks balanced. Nice to see someone giving Mata another go! 😉
RMT please gents
De Gea
Cahill, Debuchy, Jag (Bruce, Wisdom)
Sanchez, Mata, Coutinho, Sigurdsson (Cork)
Rooney, Costa (c), Bojan
Cheers
Automatic non rater!

It’s up to each and everyone to decide how much time they want to invest in this community, Deano. You can spare yourself a comment like that.
Good team, I think you can save your FT. The weakest spots might be De Gea and Coutinho.
Thanks Tekno-kun, I agree.. Thought Uniteds fixtures looked favourable to opted for De Gea. Hopefully they can keep a few clean sheets.
As93,
looks good to go for gw2. Hold ft till next week
Thanks B-Bash
I +1 what Tekno and B-Bash say because the majority of your team is great but a couple of them could be shifted, hold your breath for a deadly double switch. Personally, I’d switch your money from the back to upfield (but this is my first competitive season so…)
Thanks Lennon. I’ll have a look next week, I agree my defence is dear just couldn’t decide who else haha
