Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 15
Welcome to the Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 15 article. After a great rise in the ranks the previous week, we decided that we like the view from this perch. How much? Well, we moved up 80 spots! Considering we took a hit and did not captain Sanchez, we will call it a win. All the more when a quick glance at our team one can see that Pedro, Austin, Firmino and Kun combined for a total of 3 points. So Pedro was a bust as a transfer and now sits in the yellow, but our other move paid immediate dividends. Harry Kane scored 13 points and since he was our captain in GW14, that was doubled. If only we had went Alexis again…oh well, could have been 14 points worse also. We could have been one of the teams that went Kun and seen our site team life pass right before our eyes. We now sit in 34,432 after a GW rank of 574K. We scored 74 with a -4 and the average for the GW was 50. So with Kun now suspended and a whole bunch of cash laying around, let us get to our transfer plans.
Transfer(s) –
Sold Sergio Aguero and Bought Diego Costa
Sold Charlie Austin and Bought Kelechi Iheanacho
Transfer Reasoning…
Up until Thursday evening this was a simple case of Kun to Costa. That one was dictated to mainly because we felt that despite having Pedro more Chelsea coverage was nearing essential status. The move suits us at it also leaves some funds to possibly upgrade one of our ‘weaker’ midfielders in the coming weeks.
And then Thursday happened and Austin. We could have just benched him but it would have meant playing Fletcher or Nyom against Chelsea or Pieters against Arsenal. And all that’s assuming Gundogan starts which is far from a certainty at this point. So we voted to take a -4 and the two main candidates were Iheanacho and Defoe. Defoe was seriously considered bearing in mind we have Costa sat on four yellows and that you just never know with Pep as regards to the team selection. Ultimately though it was felt that Kelechi will start this week and that by choosing him over Defoe we were not eating until those valuable funds we mentioned earlier.
THE NEW TEAM IN FULL FOR Gameweek 15
Our Captain is… Diego Costa
After last weeks super show from Chelsea and a relatively plum fixture on paper Diego gets our armband this week. Sanchez garnered votes as well though, and for good and similar reasons. It’s probably worth noting though that neither of their opponents are exactly shocking on the road and in fact only Arsenal and Spurs have conceded less goals away from home than the either Stoke or West Brom. To counter that Chelsea have scored the most at home with 20 and Arsenal the 3rd most with 15. Statistically that points marginally to Costa.
If anyone is interested in following the site teams progress then you can do so here and we wish you all the best of luck this week with your own teams.

Fixture Tracker – the next 6 games
Good morning folks, I have 1.2 ITB & 0FT left.
1.I am thinking of taking a hit for williams to cedric/keane. Though not a big fan of taking hit for defenders, but last week took -8 hit for bringing alonso and rose for koscielny and fuchs which paid me off. But bolasie’s injury has made me confused about that hit.
2.I captained sanchez whole week but west ham’s poor defence and stoke’s tight defence & Mane’s great home form has made me captain Mane.
Any suggestion regarding the 2 decisions and any sugeestion reagrding the team would be very much appreciated
hochoki
I wouldn’t make that transfer move this week for a hit but it looks a good move for next week.
Can’t blame you picking Mane at all – West Ham leak goals.
Mane, Sanchez or Haz as cap?? I currently have it on Mane but I’m not sure
Agree
Concur
Captain is tough this week
Agree
hi guys
i need some help with my trsfr plz
foster
walker smith nyom
hazard walcott firminho allen
ibra kane defoe
bench: jakupovic fletcher amat van der horn
1ft 3.6£ in bank.
Any advices on my trsfr plz?
Who to captain?
I’d upgrade Amat or Van der Hoorn to players that are nailed starters.
who to take in van der horn’s place? a def from a top team or an average team with quite good fix?
In fact i dnt want to spend a lot on defnce, perhaps a 4.5 def?
I was going to suggest a Chelsea defender but if you don’t want to spend too much maybe Cedric for 5 Mil? I know it’s more than the 4.5 but it would be worth it I think.
Yeah good advice from Matt, I would go van der Hoorn to Alonso of Chelsea.
a chelsea def?
Yes for me.
+1
Amat is starting Matt these times – conceding a lot yes
Honestly Dreamers I haven’t looked at Swans defenders for a long time so didn’t realise haha but I’d still avoid like the plague
ok i thnk im going for a chelsea’def, they have good fixtures.
thnks
Morning guys not been on for a while been away on business hope all is well..right then I’m a good to go any suggestions are very welcome..
Cheers DC
Hey DC. How are you mate? Have you got an FT?? If not then this team is the best you can hope for and it’s decent.
dc
Hi mate. Looks good as it is. Maybe put McAuley ahead of Amat as I see both conceding but Macca probably more likely to get a goal than Amat.
Thanks chaps no I used both my free transfers matt so I’ll go with..good shout GP I’M ON IT..
all the best this game week
Cheers DC
Yeah just rearrange the bench and you’re sorted.
Play Williams (A) to Watford or Holebas – both equally shit atm
Dreamers
I would go Holebas due to him being at home and his record for shooting and goals.
Tough but I’d lean towards Williams since Everton are a better attacking team than Watford imo.
i cant even say I will go for whoever replied first
Matt – what kind of shite advice was that 🙂
